- Battlefield 6 will focus on a core military theme for its skins and microtransactions.
- The game will avoid cartoony skins like those in Call of Duty.
- Fans are glad to see Dice taking the game seriously, and the latest multiplayer trailer has received a lot of praise.
Modern microtransactions are prominent across all major AAA releases today, but Call of Duty has become one of the worst examples of this practice becoming too excessive, with fans now asking Activision to put an end to the outlandish skins.
On the other hand, Battlefield 6 seems to be heading in the completely opposite direction. Following an explosive reveal, the team has teased that Battlefield 6 will not feature any cartoon skins.
Why it matters: Games like Fortnite have encouraged developers to pursue crossovers for their games, often at the expense of the game’s identity.
As Charlie Intel reports, the Battlefield 6 team was recently asked to share its thoughts on the cosmetics fans can expect in the game moving forward. Although the team did not explicitly mention outlandish crossovers and cartoony skins, it did confirm a major focus on the series’ core military theme.
The thing we can say, we are a military shooter in modern times.
On the other hand, Call of Duty has recently collaborated with IPs like Beavis and Butt-Head, adding characters to Black Ops 6 that stand out and harm the overall immersion
Many Call of Duty and first-person-shooter fans had hoped Battlefield 6 would go the opposite route and offer something fresh to the industry. It seems Dice is doing just that, incentivizing both Battlefield and Call of Duty fans to give the game a shot.
Since Call of Duty’s approach is so set in stone, fans can also expect similar cartoon-themed crossovers with Black Ops 7. This is precisely why many are so glad that Battlefield 6 does not appear to be following suit.
Elsewhere, general reactions to Battlefield 6 also remain incredibly positive. It will be interesting to see how players feel about the game after the upcoming beta since many are excited for the IP’s return to form.
What do you think about the outlandish skins in modern Call of Duty titles? Do you think Battlefield 6 skipping these skins will help the game? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
