20 Great Video Games That Everybody Turned Against

Battlefield 6 pushes us just a few years into the future, as NATO takes on private military company Pax Armata – because apparently having the alliance at war with Russia would be too on the nose.

After the disaster of Battlefield 2042, a fresh approach was exactly what was needed, and players took to the shiny new 6 with an awe and wonder befitting its $400 million budget development. A critical and commercial success, the game sold 7 million copies in just three days and became the mightiest launch in the game franchise's entire history. But, of course, this couldn’t last.

The graphics and pacey gameplay were exciting at first, but now not even six months in, players have plumbed enough time in to see the cracks. The maps are small, the gameplay too fast, and the whole game just feels like the same thing over and over again – which is a damning indictment for a franchise that gave us epic campaigns like those of Bad Company and Hardline.

Yep, it seems 6 has become more of a repetitive run-and-gun in the mould of Call of Duty – a game series Battlefield has supposedly always been better than. Yet, given 6’s apparent use of AI, is it any surprise that it’s coming up looking like COD?
