New Battlefield 6 gameplay leak is not something fans were hoping for

A new Battlefield 6 leak has surfaced online, and the gameplay we can see from the footage is not what fans have been hoping for.

Judging by the video from the leaked video on X, Battlefield 6 looks to be set in modern times, and not in the past or future, like some of the previous titles, such as Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 5.

A certain section of the fanbase was left disappointed with the gameplay quality. One confused it with Battlefield 4, while another claimed, “There is no new taste of play.”

One player feels the gameplay looks “twitchy,” while another chimed in, “I hate the way he’s holding that weapon. It was never like this back in the old days. It looks bad, and I don’t think that’s the normal way of holding a rifle.”

Some fans suggested ways to bring back the franchise to its former glory, the time when players flocked to Battlefield 3 and 4. One player said, “All they have to do is make it like BF3 and 4, and we’re golden with classes and not stupid operators.” Another said: “Looks like the same boring sh*t.”

A player compared the footage to the last entry in the BF franchise and said, “Shooting still looks stiff like 2042.” With other competitors in the market like Call of Duty, which offer gameplay based on modern warfare, things can get a little monotonous for some.

One such player thinks, “all modern warfare games look like CoD, fast movement, no weight, a lot of gadgets, and no feeling of risk. There’s a tank shooting, and it looks like it’s just playing with lights and smoke coming out of the place, what a joke.”

The leaked footage has everything we’ve seen in the Battlefield games over these years—destruction, chaos, tanks, and the usual game modes. Like the previous games, a total of four players can squad up to take down the opposition.

Battlefield 2042 was the last title from EA way back in November 2021. It’s been more than three years since it was released, and Battlefield 6 is scheduled to release sometime before March 31, 2026. We don’t have an official date yet.
