Previous TE threads with the beta and earlier leaks info:

After playing the beta and having too much fun (except for the helis), I seriously believe Battlefield franchise is back. I have put in like 1000+ hours in BF3 and 500+ hours in BF4 and have been waiting forever for a good modern battlefield (WWI and WW2 are not my thing :upside_down_face: ). So I am too excited for this as much as a grown up man could. Hope EA and Dice gets this right. Dice pls! :laughing:

I will add the gamertags/IDs of anyone who will be playing the game below. Please add your gamertag/IDs and also indicate whether they are in EA or Steam or what console you are playing in your replies. I will try my best to add them to the list in the first reply ASAP.

this game will truly bring back battlefield,i do worry though about the map sizes but full release is supposed to have bigger maps,beta was disappointing in that regard

7

Are you sure? because even during time of battlefield 1 there was no SG servers. Only HK and JP

8

Does it have single player story mode?

Yeah there were so many SG servers for BF3 and BF4. I even used to regularly browser this website and saw page full of BF servers during that time (Game Server Search, Player Search, Server List, Stats, and Rankings - Game Tracker)

BF1 and BF5 I didn’t play but I heard it was not that popular here compared to BF3 and BF4 so there were not much servers in Asia.

During the BF6 beta I got pings around 35 to 40ms so they are definitely SG servers. I’m in Chennai btw.

Yes. It is even shown in the trailer.

Bf2042 and bf6 beta have servers in india as well ,in addition to singapore servers.

Battlefield 6 says no to ray tracing now and in the near future — dev says decision made to ‘focus on making sure it was performance for everyone else’

For fast action titles, a more optimized game beats pixel peeping eye candy.

Battlefield 6 is one of the most anticipated games of the year, more so because of its friendly system requirements that let it be played even on modest hardware. One of the ways the game’s developers were able to achieve this was by side-stepping any ray tracing technologies.

“No, we are not going to have ray tracing when the game launches, and we don’t have any plans in the near future for it either,” Studio Technical Director Christian Buhl of Ripple Effect, one of the studios behind BF6, told ComicBook.com. “That was because we wanted to focus on performance. We wanted to make sure that all of our effort was focused on making the game as [optimized] as possible for the default settings and the default users. So, we just made the decision relatively early on that we weren’t going to do ray tracing and, again, it was mostly so that we could focus on making sure it was performance for everyone else.”

This decision means that gamers can easily play the game and get good performance, even when running older hardware. The only unfortunate thing is that the title uses EA’s Javelin anti-cheat feature, which requires Secure Boot. This precludes the Steam Deck and other Linux-based devices from running the game, so players avoiding Windows won’t be able to play BF6.

The Battlefield franchise is Call of Duty’s biggest competitor, and it stands out by having a destructible environment. This makes it more realistic and gives players more tactical choices, especially when facing an entrenched enemy. Since FPS shooters focus more on tactics and gameplay like this, we can consider ray tracing as a rather unnecessary eye-candy feature that will only make the title less accessible to gamers.

This is similar to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which launched last year, and also did not have ray tracing enabled in the game. There is a workaround to force the feature if you have a good enough graphics card, but it might cause some issues.

Fast-paced games that cater to a massive player base will likely not want to have ray tracing turned on. Aside from the additional strain this feature puts on GPUs, it also means additional backend work for developers. So, by dropping it altogether, the team behind the title can focus more on optimizing the game and making it run great on as many gaming PCs as possible, instead of making the title look better to the privileged few who have powerful GPUs.

I’ve played several bf titles and my fav are bc2 and bf1. Bf6 beta was really good but it’s not worth 4k to me. I’ll wait for it to drop below 1.5k before I buy it

Battlefield 6 Single Player Mode

According to BFBulletin on X, the Battlefield 6 campaign will be approximately 4 to 6 hours long and feature nine missions. Each of the missions has been listed below, and the leak includes their names, giving hints at what they will involve.

Furthermore, one of the early missions drops players in Northern Africa, where they will be battling the forces of Pax Armata under the shadows of the pyramids of Giza. Additionally, Dagger 13 will be moving through Brooklyn’s streets that have been ravaged by war, and then to Gibraltar to reclaim the Rock, a very strategic location for the ongoing war. As for the missions themselves, reports indicate each mission is quite large in scope, enabling players to explore large open spaces and select which target they want to tackle first.

Mission Names
Mission 1: Always Faithful
Mission 2: The Rock
Mission 3: Operation Gladius
Mission 4: Night Raid
Mission 5: No Sleep
Mission 6: Moving Mountains
Mission 7: Nile Guard
Mission 8: Operation Emberstrike
Mission 9: Always Forward

I’d honestly buy it if it was a little cheaper.

I’m not very trusting of EA and their shenanigans. Sometimes some things look a little too promising and seeing BF6 taking all these steps in the right directions has me a little suspicious.
