Battlefield 6 Beta |OT| Open Beta/Closed Weapons.

I also will say I like the game when I played it. I'm not going to get it right now because I'm not in the mood for a live shooter but I like it. And again it's not nearly as bad as what they did with 2042, not even close. Still I don't know why they do stupid stuff when they are so close.
The worst part of this little story is where they will inevitably congratulate themselves on achieving lower sales than BF1. They're like the Alex Kurtzman of Battlefield, on acid. It's all too cringe to even write about.

I can't look away, it's too amazing, lmao. At this point out of morbid curiosity I'm hoping for enough sales that the studio gets to make more stuff, I want to see how deep this straight up vibe psychosis goes.

It's completely unhinged, that bf subreddit is the craziest funniest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life in this hobby.

A genuinely honest faithful and vibe locked BF6 would have comfortably cruised past double BF1s sales, this is an enormous tragedy. No cynical gaslighting or clown shit would have been needed. They could have achieved this two games ago already, it's wild. If they faithfully followed that path the game today would absolutely bully the fuck out of COD, no jokes.

Now everyone's stuck with this GAAS brained 2042/delta force adjacent little gimped cod wannabe retard product again, fucking AGAIN!!! hilarious.

Best of all is you just know the Saudi deal will be lined up as an excuse for poor reception if the game catches heat from reviewers or internally.

a broken clock is right twice and a day and all that, but yeah this is fucking hilarious to watch, the subreddit is in meltdown as its currently full of Call of Duty fanboys pretending to be ex battlefield players and defending this outcome as the correct course of action. EA themselves originally stated that stats showed that open weapons had a better class pick rate which is why they had to have open weapons, after testing they found only 2% difference in closed compared to open, which they don't mention which way that swings, so its likely that closed was closer to a 25% pick rate per class than open. So instead they have pivoted to "more players preferred open as it was the more popular mode" which is BS because the unlock challenges required specific game modes and closed was a single game mode on a weird ass rotation meaning that if you need 42 flag caps and closed is Rush only, then your not going to play closed weapons if you want the challenges done because the game mode has no flags.

remember if its so close, why bother changing it at all? hmm well lets say you release a premium Assault Rifle skin for money in the store, and one player only plays Recon and Engineer, classes they on closed would not have access to it, I wonder why they would push for open when players like this exist, im sure its all to do with the love of the game and nothing to do with the MTX store.

So is everyone diving straight into MP or gonna rip through the SP campaign first? I'm assuming the servers this weekend have a solid chance of being a shit show so I'll probably just rip through the campaign over the weekend. These things tend not to be too long.

I'm going to buy this game just to laugh at it, like that dude at the end of mouth of madness.

Single player, it has multiplayer unlocks so might as well get it out of the way, im sure itl be a short one too.

It's a bummer, really, they spent like four years apologizing for what a piece of shit 2042 was, saying they know it wasn't what BF fans wanted, they spent a bunch of money redesigning elements, and then they make this game, like I said, it seems great, and I even gave them some slack in terms of leaning in to COD a little because they are trying to steal users from it... but then fumble right at the goal line.

I don't think it will kill the project or anything but open weapons is not BF, period. The interplay of the different classes is a key part of the BF design, not chasing some cringe meta.

SP always first, will only take a few hours anyways.
