The Battlefield 6 open beta is a huge hit, but its 'time to kill' splits opinion

The Battlefield 6 open beta is absolutely flying. It’s been four years since the last entry in the legendary FPS series, and developers DICE, Motive, Criterion, and Ripple Effect appear to have cooked up a winner in that time. Currently, the free-to-access public test has nearly half a million players on Steam alone, topping even the numbers hit by Monster Hunter Wild’s massive beta earlier this year. As debates around weapon balance and time to kill rage on, the question remains: Is Battlefield back? So far, it looks like the answer is yes.
