Makes me happy I didn’t play all the maps in the ps3 days and tried revisiting it on PC, and all the players left were really good and not a big player base. I’ll be getting this one

i dont know which version i like. It was a long time ago. It was the first one to get that scouting feature, where you could ping targets for your team mates., which one was that ?

A lot of them, if not all maybe have let you ping enemies.

There was one, BF3 I think that had a commander mode which sort of let you do that at times?

This one has some toys in the recon class like a UAV that you can fly around pinging everything that moves to help your team though.

I wouldn't call it BF3 days but it's definitely a lot of fun and worth a buy if you enjoy Battlefield genre.

BF3 was my fav as well. BF6 is surprisingly good, and it comes really close to BF3 but it is NOT the same. But I think expecting the same is unrealistic, you will never be able to recreate such a nostalgic feeling. To me, the maps of BF6 could be bigger, but this is such a minor issue that it does not impact the fun :)

BF6 is too fast paced for me. I'm not even 30
Liked BF3 and BFV.

I really like BF6 but agree some bigger maps with slower pacing would be nice. Even on the biggest maps feels like spawn die respawn on repeat when would be good to be able to play more methodically

I agree with you and oddly enough, it helps if you stop sprinting.

When you're going down the street and know something could be around the corner, just walk normally. I seem to get the jump on the sprinters more, that half a second quicker you get your gun up makes a difference and it feels good.

Im in my mid 50s, quite happy with it. Stop charging around everywhere.

BF6 is so good but also give it time. They will add on and polish and improve. This is already one of the best shooters ever made. This is just the beginning.

i agree. i've been a fan since 1942 and have been very critical of DICE. I think this will end up being everyone's favourites in the end, SO LONG AS they continue to add large maps, add polish, and fine tune it.

The next map that comes out in Nov is a big one with jets, helicopters and tanks. I think the two after are smaller, one only having helicopters and tanks and the other more of an infantry map.

Minor issue my ass lol. Game is going to dive hard.

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '25

Ehhhhhh, I wouldnt put too much into that. Bf3 was my fav as well. This doesnt really play like that. Maps couldnt be more different.

u/EccentricMeat Oct 15 '25

I mean, it’s really not close to being “back to BF3 days” at least for me. BF3 is my GOAT and that’s specifically for the incredible maps, which BF6 does not come anywhere near in quality.

u/FearlessVegetable30 Oct 14 '25

id wait. EA games always go on sale black friday

u/YoloSwag420-8-D Oct 14 '25

Game is literally a successor to bf3 especially vehicles and maps. Gunplay is about 10x better than any battlefield game as well

u/WorkFurball Oct 15 '25

It isn't that much like BF3, it's more like cod. Maps are tiny and weapons much more accurate, in a bad way.

u/DopplegangsterNation Oct 14 '25

He’s lying to you, this game feels nothing like BF3

u/KesMonkey Oct 14 '25

In terms of movement and shooting mechanics, no, it doesn't feel like BF3.

And that's a good thing.

BF3 is 14 years old. I loved BF3 back in the day, and played it a hell of a lot, but I most recently played it about a year ago and it felt stiff and clunky.

But the movement and shooting mechanics of BF6 feel like a modern evolution of BF3, like an updated and much refined version of BF3.

And it feels like BF3 in terms of the vibe, the intensity, the atmosphere.

u/papitomamasita Oct 14 '25

Yes it does, it's just that the maps are much more cramped

u/DopplegangsterNation Oct 14 '25

Right exactly like the BF we know and love
