The Battlefield franchise has been suffering from a bit of an identity crisis over the last few years. While Battlefield V seemed like it would be another grounded history-based entry in a similar vein to the successful Battlefield 1, it made a few creative decisions that broke the immersion for some fans. Battlefield 2042 decided to adopt a futuristic setting, and introduced a number of features that fans didn't feel were in keeping with the series' identity, such as the Specialist system. So, for Battlefield 6, many fans just want a return to basics.
