Launch Battlefield 6 It already gives the fans a lot to explore, but one of the strangest surprises they could find, comes in the form of character cosmetics of the game. Adjustment options are sparse ways that feel confusing at best, and at best, the most visible example is that the sex of the soldier is now tied to specific characters and classes. This seems to be more supervised than a deliberate direction of design for Battlefield 6And frankly, it's not the only one.
By default, players can no longer be able to select the gender of the selected class operator. Players can still unlock male and women appearing on both sides but are not available at the beginning and there is one glaring omission: NATO support class, which was launched without men's offer. DICE confirmed that one will be added later, but this omission and these default restrictions represent many reasons Battlefield 6The adaptation system feels less impressive than one of its predecessors.
Battlefield 6: Specialists, units, omission and restrictions
For context, Battlefield 6Campaign and multiplayer experience are divided between two fractions in tradition: NATO and Pax Armata. Multiplayer adaptation comes in the form of six different units, three for each fraction. Each team includes four unique characters for each of the four Battlefield 6 class.

This is neat from a narrative point of view, but the obvious disadvantage is that the new options are rigid and some quite basic ones that are completely missing. Battlefield 6 It is improving Battlefield 5 In many ways, which only causes this downgrade to personalize it all the more mysterious.
Interestingly, Battlefield 5 He was the best of franchise in this respect. Through their version of Loadout, called The Company, players had a wide range of cosmetic adaptation options. In fact, none of the problems of this new system existed if the studio stuck Battlefield 5to adapt.
Battlefield 6 is a confusing step back from Battlefield 5
Battlefield 5The load system allowed players to personalize soldiers in more detail, with cosmetics that had rarities running from normal to legendary. Most importantly, players could choose sex for any class and fine -tune the clothes piece by piece. This level of control gave the game a sense of ownership and expression that has now been deprived of.
For comparison Battlefield 6Fractions have profitable specific specialists with specified voices and behind the scenes, several models of players and some other favorable color paths. The new narrative element is theoretically admirable, but the function does not seem like a very confident accessory. Subsequently, blocking the adaptation to narrower lanes is also not a fair trade.
Every specialist in Battlefield 6 It has a unique story, but they are so deeply buried in the menus that most players probably don't even realize that they exist.
Battlefield 6 changes one main battlefield of 5 sins
Be fair, Battlefield 5 He also had problems, especially with this rarity cosmetic system. The players were broadly and rightly critical of the system of trade and the prey of Rarius and its absence in Battlefield 6 (For now) should be appreciated. Few players would choose transparent monetization systems before other playing games, although they are a bit bland.
Yet, Dice could have his cake and also ate it Battlefield 5variety without carrying nasty monetized habits. Instead, Battlefield 6 It goes too far in the opposite direction and the resulting system does not feel more realistic and much less adaptable – not to mention the lack of motivation for players to get deeply involved.
Regardless of the angle, the changes to the Battlefield 6 adaptation do not make much sense
The new system trades flexibility for narrative taste, which in fact does not have a meaningful impact. DICE designed to create a more realistic and anchorage experience; Including sex appearance options and depth uniform adaptation this intention does not endanger and added BIOS characters, tucked away Battlefield 6Non -inintuitive user interfaces, do not compare the difference. Instead, he feels like a half -level that does not satisfy or immerse or expression.
The confusing part of all this is that if someone should play a devilish advocate, this new system is also disputed from a business point of view. Cosmetics in the game have become a reliable tool for monetization throughout the genre, but the new adaptation system limits the possibilities of monetization, which, due to the EA results, would probably never be intentionally.
In the era Beavis and Butthead Call of Duty and other absurd crossover skins, Battlefield It could easier to carve its place in the market for tons of purchasing, ground adaptation.
Customize problems are small shortcomings with greater consequences for Battlefield 6
Right now, adaptation of a soldier Battlefield 6 There is a minor defect with an otherwise strong return to the mold for franchise. The problem is that it is hard to see how this defect deteriorates, especially after obtaining EA of $ 55 billion to leave Battlefield 6 Players with the worst of both systems if the decision is taken to turn heavier into monetization.
The dice vision is the right one in that sense Battlefield 6The adaptation should be absorbing, but that does not mean that it must be particularly restrictive. Ties of roles on specific characters or gender can be convincing with meaningful and now, but right now the narration and traditions simply do not justify the shift. Of course it will not loot an experience, but it is a restriction that makes Battlefield 6 harder to watch than it should be.
