Gamespot forums, DMs, and blogs are now gone. It was such a huge community back around 2005-2010. I had over 100 blogs and far more DMs. Sad to see a good thing die. The only thing that would bring me back is now gone. RIP #Gamespot

#Battlefield6 is basically unplayable for me in big modes for the last ~4 days. Massive amounts of lag even on the lowest possible settings. Was similar the first beta weekend so hoping it's just server issues.

First 5 hours of #Battlefield6 and so far it's very promising. Sobek city and mirak valley seem like good maps. Manhattan bridge feels like a giant CoD map. Had a few server issues but overall a good launch compared to some others in the franchise. Destruction is prominent.

Finally unlocked all #Battlefield6 rewards in the #Battlefield2042 free pass. Took about 30 hours of playing a bit most days. I still think it is the weakest game in the series.

Playing #Battlefield2042 again to get the #Battlefield6 awards and it's rough. First match, disconnected near the end. Second match, failed to join after very long load. Third match was TDM on valparaiso, which was not well suited for it. Action feels jarring.

Update on 2042: It's not too bad. They did improve things since I last played in 2021. Some new maps (flashpoint, spearhead) help. 64 players👍. Redacted CQC is kinda fun. I'm here for the #Battlefield6 incentives, but it's not a chore to play.

#Battlefield6 beta is over and overall it was good. After 20 hours it seems better than the last two (2042, V). Maps, balance, and tech will determine how it truly compares.
