Battlefield 6 Faces Fan Backlash Over “Absurd” Building Destruction
Players are criticizing the level of destruction in the upcoming Battlefield 6, claiming a default hammer tool allows for the rapid and unrealistic demolition of structures. A video circulating on Reddit demonstrates a single player collapsing a multi-story building with just 12 strikes, sparking debate about balance and realism within the long-running shooter franchise.
The core complaint centers on the ease with which players can alter the battlefield landscape.User Positive_doubt_9084 posted a video showcasing the rapid destruction, hitting support pillars three times each to bring down an entire skyscraper, remaining unharmed by falling debris. While destruction is a hallmark of the Battlefield series, many fans believe DICE and EA have gone too far.
“It’s absurd,” commented Reddit user Icy_Writing6152, echoing the sentiment of numerous players. Concerns range from the tool’s power level to its thematic appropriateness. User lumenprotoplasma argued the hammer feels out of place in a military shooter, suggesting it would be more fitting for a game like Fortnite.
Others point to a lack of nuance in the destruction system. Users nintenglo and Ambientv0ice noted buildings currently transition from fully intact to near-total collapse with little in-between.
Battlefield 6 is scheduled for release on October 10th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. EA and DICE are likely facing pressure to address these concerns before launch.
