Battlefield 6 is out, I do need more time with it (I played the beta test) but I can confidently say this is one of the best, and possibly the best, entry in the entire series. FWIW I played them all, including the ancient Codename Eagle (1999) which came before the classic Battlefield 1942 (2002). https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/battlefield-6-review/
Battlefield 6 review

The series that once languished in Call of Duty's shadow now has all the juice.

@codinghorror any thoughts about the map size and game pace? 😁 Beta felt super chaotic and fast paced to me. I enjoy that from time to time, but not all the time. 😅

@SwishSwushPow I do feel the maps are lacking .. something. And not very many to choose from…

@SwishSwushPow in think they are still in the older style of Battlefield mindset when making maps.. and this demands a kinda different design. They are not bad (well at least one is) but there need to be more and better maps for this play style.

@SwishSwushPow interestingly that PC gamer review says the same thing as me though I had not read that far into it until now: “ My only beef is that there isn't enough peak Battlefield in Battlefield 6. The launch map pool of nine is overstuffed with maps that have drastically fewer vehicles and cramped bottlenecks that guarantee you'll either kill or be killed every 10 seconds. Iberian Offensive, Empire State, Saints Quarter, Siege of Cairo—they're intense, they're something different, but they don't represent what Battlefield is best at, and it's disappointing that they outnumber the maps that do.” Basically great game, kinda crap maps. That should be easy to fix I hope!!

@SwishSwushPow also I don’t agree with the reviewer that engineer is useless on the CQB maps. If you have unlocked enough kit options by leveling up, you have a serous SMG specialty by default and those are so dominant on small maps, plus you can blow so many buildings and so much cover up with your explosive skills..
