Yes, we've had one 281m headshot snipe, but what about a second? #Battlefield6 #OperationFirestorm

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.

two things:
1. can't believe this game is 11 years old already
2. the bit at the end that mirrors "on father's watch" is brilliant.

#DexterResurrection first season finished. It was awesome and ended just right. Hope we get another season or more.

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.

Have fun, good game.

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.
