Through the years, the Battlefield franchise has been one of the top first-person shooters in the industry, but it hasn't been completely smooth sailing for the series. Battlefield 2042, its most recent installment, launched to mixed feedback, and while the game improved over time, it still remains a sore spot in the overall franchise. Based on early information about Battlefield 6, developer DICE may be embracing a return to the basics, which would be a welcome update.
