Honestly, I've played almost every Battlefield game, but this one frustrates me more than any of them.
Classes: The class balance is completely off. There's almost no reason to play anything other than Assault or Engineer. Want an LMG? Just equip one on those classes anyway, making Support feel almost pointless.
Ground vehicles: The balance is all over the place. An LAV can't destroy an MRAP faster than a tank can, and the new motorbike handles like you're driving a forklift in reverse.
Air vehicles: The Little Bird is ridiculously overpowered. In previous games it was a glass cannon; now it feels like a flying tank with insane firepower.
Jets: Still no meaningful customization, and the dumb bombs are practically useless unless you're already an experienced pilot.
Maps: Most maps are extremely lane-focused. Almost every match feels like Operation Metro, with flanking routes either nonexistent or so obvious they're not worth using.
Spotting: Spotting is way too strong. Trying to flank or play stealthily is almost impossible because something is constantly revealing your position.
Bugs and exploits: Some exploits have been in the game for months. The tank exploit was reported around six months before it was finally fixed—only after a YouTuber made it mainstream. It shouldn't take a viral video for major bugs to get attention.
Progression: Back in the day, a high Battlefield rank meant someone had put in the time or was genuinely skilled. Now it often just means they abused XP farms, exploits, or bugs to reach level 500+.
Netcode & performance: Hit registration still feels inconsistent, dying behind cover happens too often, and performance can vary wildly from one update to the next.
Battlefield has always had balance issues here and there, but this game feels like it's fighting against the player instead of rewarding good gameplay. It has potential, but right now it feels more frustrating than fun.
Infantry / Gunplay:
Suppression is almost nonexistent. LMGs don't really fulfill their role of pinning enemies down.
Weapon recoil is too easy to control, making guns feel too similar.
Head glitching is still a problem, with players exposing only a few pixels while being able to shoot accurately.
Peeker's advantage makes aggressive players win fights they shouldn't.
Visual recoil vs actual recoil can make guns feel inconsistent.
Maps:
Too many open sightlines.
Too many choke points.
Flags are often too close together, creating constant meat grinders.
Some objectives are nearly impossible to attack because defenders have overwhelming high ground.
Not enough memorable maps compared to classics like Caspian Border, Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman, Seine Crossing or Damavand Peak.
Matchmaking
Teams are often horribly unbalanced.
Matches snowball after the first few objectives.
No proper team balancing between rounds.
Sometimes you stay on the losing team for several games in a row.
The game feels like it doesn't know whether it wants to be Battlefield or a fast-paced arena shooter. Older Battlefield games rewarded positioning, teamwork, and using the sandbox. BF6 often feels more like chasing the current meta, with constant spotting, narrow maps, and class balance that discourages experimenting.
