I dabble in the FPS genre from time to time, with my FPS career starting all the way back on the N64 with Goldeneye 007, and going all the way through Black on the PS2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 & Modern Warfare 3, to now with Battlefield 2042, and the newest entry in the series: Battlefield 6. There are others in there too, but they shall remain nameless as they just weren't up to the standards set by previous titles (*cough Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare cough*).

After the highly divisive Battlefield 2042 (which I have been playing almost to the exclusion of everything else in recent weeks), I wanted to begin by looking at the multiplayer aspect of Battlefield 6. With a "don't fix what isn't broken" mindset, the team at Battlefield Studios has taken the best parts of 2042's multiplayer and expanded on them here.

The 4-class operator setup returns in Battlefield 6, allowing players to choose from Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon classes, each with their own weapon and gadgets to choose from as well as their own operator skins to unlock. While each class can choose from any weapon on the rack, players are highly encouraged to choose something that will fill each class's signature trait, a new feature in Battlefield 6. These signature traits give players class-specific perks and bonuses that can really make or break a setup.
