Although Battlefield 6 is a game whose big bet is multiplayer, it does not give up offering an individual campaign that has two objectives: cross this point off the lists of things that a shooter in first person and offer a narrative to surround the entire game. The story of Battlefield 6 is in the form of a modern military thriller and places us in a world where there is Pax Armata, a private military militia financed by former NATO states «whose plans threaten to plunge the world into a global conflict.» Its ultimate objective is to destroy NATO and its allies to impose its maxim: «our protection, your peace.»
During the Battlefield 6 campaign, players step into the shoes of the five members of Dagger 13, a group of soldiers who travel around the world to stop Pax Armata and his attempt to reshape world power while NATO teeters on the brink of collapse.
At the multiplayer level, Battlefield 6 is a shooter in the first person who lacks nothing except for a battle royalewhich will come later. We have the classic modes of the franchise, Conquest, Advance and Assault, as well as the complementary offering including TCT: Team, TCT: Patrol, Domination and Take the Hill. The novelty is a mode called Escalation in which two teams compete to capture strategic control points. The modes take place across 5 war scenarios and 9 maps spread across locations around the world, including Cairo, Brooklyn, Tajikistan and Gibraltar.
Players who enter Battlefield 6's multiplayer mode will discover that this installment recovers the class system (Assault, Reconnaissance, Support and Engineer), each of which has its own devices, weapons and specialized equipment. As in the campaign, the so-called tactical destruction is a fundamental element during combat. Thanks to this system, players can transform the combat zone to create new opportunities to dominate the battlefield by land and air.
