Battlefield 6 is a return to the formula EA completely broke ten years ago

The Battlefield name conjures different tenets to different people. To the particularly unimaginative, it evokes a battlefield. A big ol’ field where dozens of players have a battle. A field of battles. But DICE’s long-running, large-scale multiplayer shooter series is more than that. Elder millennials will remember its capacity for spawning feats of derring-do on early Youtube, like mid-air fighter jet pilot swaps, shooting fighter jets out of the sky with one incredibly well-timed rocket launcher shot, and other stunts with fighter jets somehow involved in them.
