Battlefield 6 Review: Best Since BF4?

·28 min·2 clips

Kahlief Adams calls Battlefield 6 the best version of the series he's ever played, reigniting the franchise.

Host Kahlief Adams reviews Battlefield 6, a major first-person shooter release, on his podcast focused on gaming through a Black cultural lens. Adams is a longtime Battlefield enthusiast whose show's name is inspired by the series. He evaluates whether this entry recaptures the quality of fan-favorite Battlefield 4. Adams played the game early, attending a reveal event and receiving a copy from EA before the review embargo lifted. He notes the launch includes nine maps, with a Brooklyn-based map replicating the Dumbo area as a personal favorite. The review covers returning modes like Conquest and smaller-scale modes such as capture the flag. Adams compares this title to previous entries Battlefield 1, Battlefield V, and Battlefield 2042, which he suggests did not meet the same standard. New gameplay mechanics include the ability for support players to drag downed teammates to safety and a dive-roll to mitigate fall damage. The recon class can now auto-spot enemies by aiming over them, and a crouch-run muffles footsteps. Maps feature a modular design, allowing sections to be reconfigured for different modes and player counts to increase variety. Adams tested the game on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and a high-end PC with an RTX 4090, praising the PC version's visuals and the return of strategic destruction. He claims Battlefield 6 is the best in the series in a long time, potentially a Game of the Year contender that provides real competition for Call of Duty. The game has a robust community map editor where players are already recreating Call of Duty maps and designing original modes like a space invader game. A battle royale mode is slated for release later in the month. Adams cites Steam player counts exceeding 600,000 on launch day as evidence of strong interest. However, he finds the single-player campaign visually inconsistent, with janky facial animations and uneven graphical quality. He describes the story as a familiar PMC threat narrative and feels the AI behavior is sometimes unintelligent. Adams believes the campaign, developed by Motive Studio, is forgettable and doesn't match the polish of Call of Duty's offerings, though he hopes the team will improve with future content. The tone is enthusiastic and conversational, blending a personal fan perspective with detailed gameplay analysis. Adams delivers an experienced, hands-on review rooted in his history with the franchise and access to development teams. This episode will appeal to Battlefield veterans curious if the series has returned to form and FPS players seeking an alternative to Call of Duty. Listeners looking for a critical, technical deep-dive into game design or those solely interested in single-player campaigns might find less value here.
