One of the big talking points around the Battlefield 6 beta has been the pacing of its core gameplay and how it compares to previous games in the series as well as other modern multiplayer shooters. Series lead producer David Sirland says Dice is "very much" looking at older Battlefield games for reference here, and to get a good idea of the studio's plan with BF6, you should boot up some Battlefield 3 and 4.

Sirland has been requesting and fielding beta feedback on his Twitter. A recent exchange cuts to the heart of some of the discussions orbiting Battlefield 6, with one fan arguing that "jumpshots and sliding nonsense like [Call of Duty]" is "not how Battlefield should be."
