Call me cheap, but I hate EA and don’t want to give them any money on principle, but I’d like to try BF6 and see how it’s changed since the beta.

    I like many kinds. Split-screen multiplayer is great; privately hosted servers that work on LAN without a call home are great; both are rare. I know there’s been a resurgence of “boomer shooters” that harken back to the mid to late 90s, and I can appreciate one of those every now and then, but the kind I miss most are the ones that came out of Half-Life, from the late 90s until the 2010s. They typically had a campaign and a deathmatch built out of reused assets from the campaign. Maybe there was co-op to the campaign. Maybe there was capture the flag. Battlefield’s thing is Conquest, and that’s still great. I hunted down a copy of Battlefield 2 and booted up my old copy of Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005) to get my fix lately, lol.
