DICE General Manager and Vice President Rebecka Coutaz recently said when talking about the disastrous start of Battlefield 2042 that this puts the team "a responsibility to make Battlefield 6 the best battlefield series in history."Coutaz took over his current position shortly after the frequent start of "Battlefield 2042" in 2021. The upcoming "Battlefield 6" will become her first series under her leadership.
Since the release of Battlefield 1942 in 2002, the series has been hailed as one of the benchmarks for first-person shooters.Although the Battlefield series often competes with Call of Duty, the disastrous release of Battlefield 2021 hit the series hard.Although this work has received moderate reviews from the media, the player group has given more rigorous feedback, and even once made "Battlefield 2042" the most negative reviews on the Steam platform.Players pointed out performance issues, the lack of classic features (such as server browsers and scoreboards), and the replacement of traditional military settings with expert systems by DICE.
Although the continuous updates have significantly improved Battlefield 2042, its starting defeat has obviously affected DICE's future plans.In an interview with foreign media, Coutaz admitted: "I feel responsible for creating the best battlefield game in history. This is my obligation to the community and the team, and it is also the driving force for my struggle." In response to the cancellation of traditional military systems and other disputes, design director Shashank Uchil responded: "We are brave enough to try, and success or failure are the norm. Just like a band trying new styles, the creative team may favor a certain design, but the final decision will always belong to the players."
Coutaz also affirmed the team's optimization results for Battlefield 2042 through season updates: "The current situation of the game is completely different from the start." As Battlefield 6 approaches, the official launches a free "Road to Battlefield 6" pass. Players can not only obtain the current game rewards, but some props can also be inherited into the new work released next month.
"Battlefield 6" will be officially released in two weeks, and will face the finals again with "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7" which will be released on November 14."Battlefield 6" open test has set a record of participation in the series, and the number of people online at the same time even surpassed the "Call of Duty" test data during the same period.
