Literally Elden Ring 2 with Devil May Cry Combat.

What an utter pile of wank

A cancerous tumor growing on the lower intestine of BF6, it should be cut out and burned.

God awful campaign, but i bought this for multiplayer. Unfortunately EA decided to focus on smaller modes and design terrible maps for those modes.

Our of the 9 at launch 3 are good, the rest range from god awful to 'Worst in franchise history'

Make no mistake this is not Call of Duty, but it is battlefield made for the Call of Duty audience.

Season 1 edit

Oh jesus ♥♥♥♥, abort abort, this is EA's Copy of Paste : Borezone, they tricked people into buying a Battlefield game so they could fake Battle Royal numbers, dont fall for it, the game is just not worth it.

Look, I only have like 20 minutes in this game, but that's enough, more than enough.

im not here to rant about lack of content or minus 30 second missions as I actually experienced enough to see how the mission system progressed, thats not the concern for me.

the issue was "am I having fun?" and with how the shooting and movement feels in this game, I am not. Look im not expecting Halo, I play deep rock galactic for gods sake, I know what guns that sometimes lack impact feel like (looking at you warthog shotgun), but this game... good god iv never felt anything like it outside of unity proof of concept demo's the gun play is just that bad.

I tried all 3 of the starter weapons, the revolver, the SMG and Double Barrel and all of them feel like their a cone that says "if enemy within cone when mouse 1 is pressed do -30 HP" mix in with some floaty movement and you feel like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ghost, nothing has any weight or impact at all, even the grenades felt like they go *poof* not bang.

im not sure how they recover this on a fundamental level, it would need a complete overhaul of the very basics the entire game is built around in terms of the combat. Lack of content is not the issue, the fact I wont want to experience any content at all if this is how the game feels to play is.

I waited 13 years for this, I am glad I did. If you love Space Marine from Relic, launched way back in 2011, you will love this. It does the original game justice, in story, in tone, in game play.

If you haven't played Space Marine 2011 and wondering if you need to play it to play Space Marine 2... well more do than most games, you will lose a lot of the context behind what is going on, it is a direct sequel, yes there are 100 years between the two but plot threads continue between the two.

Its not required, if your after a new coop shooter dive right in, you might be a little lost but its a great third person shooter, plenty of classes to play as, plenty of unlocks/weapons/perks all included in the base price. Theres a few additional chapters included in the season pass, but considering the price in other games for similar customisation options the value is much better.

All upcoming playable content such as weapons and new missions are going to be free, if they stick to that I can see this being played for years to come.

As someone who played the first 2 games to death's in my late teens, I picked this up despite not enjoying some of the choices BBI have made in their prior titles.

Sadly I just can't enjoy this game, I will say the little of the story I have seen feels... poor. However I was expecting that after shipbreakers. Maybe mods will improve the game but right now I feel like I am just mentally making excuses to play anything else, and am.

Edit: Sweet Baby Inc involvement has been detected, cannot say I am surprised. This is the straw that broke the camels back so I will be refunding.

BUY IT NOW!!!

Why does something that look so basic run like run so bad?

3080 + 5900x + 32GB of DDR 3600Mhz ram all installed on a Samsung 980 pro M.2 drive.

so why does the game dip so much? why is there so much screen tearing?

I am sorry Capcom but the core premise of the game is this weird PvPvE which means you please very very few people.

you can either go F2P and have this game die next year, or you can launch as is and have it die on launch.

You would be better delaying the title until much later and overhauling the core premise of the game, you have the ingredients for a fun online title, however the PvPvE premise is just so... it simply put does not work.

Played 5 matches and won 5, however when I sat back at the end I didn't feel like "wow good job team we managed secure a win" I felt releif that I actually ended up with the victory I should be getting anyway from the PvE I just spent the last 15 minutes doing anyway... I can only imagine how a loss must feel, like an complete and utter waste of time, trivialising 90% of the match.

That is not a good feeling Capcom and the game will fail because of it.

Who the hell thought the narrative for Africa Mission was a good choice? well sadly I am dropping this one after the first mission. Its so disconnected and irrelevant to what your doing in the game, I am assuming the writer wanted to try and impress some chicks at his local vegan bar rather than the people who are buying his game.

EDIT

Latest update and I have uninstalled, developers unironically called bug fixes and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cash shop "major content". ♥♥♥♥ off relic, its better the RTS genre die than be forces to engage with your literal copy paste Halo Infinite challange system that allows you to get 1 single item every 4 weeks if you don't miss a single challange.
