JustBenchingOnly with prebuilds. Meeh
No, the CPUs and graphics cards, as well as prebuilds that use them.

After rereading - you are correct. The 13400 is 160$ - coming with a 70$ game included is crazy!

IKR :o I was only confident offhand because the mail sent to partners doesn't even mention prebuilds.

I wish Bartlett lake is actually real for consumer, this way I can plop down a new 12 P core processor and get BF6 on the side.

Getting either 14th gen, which is not that great of an update from my 12th gen setup, or commit to a new dead end Intel motherboard, seems rather counterproductive, even with BF6 to sweeten the deal.

Keep your 12th gen, they are still nutty. It's doing well in BF6

An over hyped game paired with mostly unimpressive cpus, especially 13th and 14th gen cpus prone to degradation, or even socket 1851 which is only getting a refresh.
I really want to like BF6, but there's too much wrong with the game or missing to even want it for "free".

I understand this, I mean we had almost everything it has way back in BF4, it's just a bit prettier now but without really cool stuff like levelution, 64v64 and cover building. I'll probably still get it, I enjoyed BFV until they made some strange changes like forcing character lighting and giving the player too much health so hopefully they don't mess with it too much.

"keys for Battlefield 6 will be e-mailed starting October 3, 2025."

The article could be improved by adding since when Battlefield is or will be available for purchase.

If you've bought it recently (like a week or something) most retailers will send you the code if you ask them nicely.

BF6 will have 64v64. Do not base the beta play on what the full game will have. 2042 has 64v64 and BF6 will have everything and more than what 2042 has.

Played BF6 Pre-Alpha, played both Beta weekends, and still has not got my money. likely waiting for it to go on sale before I will buy it. I really hope they do something about the COD like player movements. if they do I will buy it, if not then forget it I will play something else.

devs confirmed only 64 players (maybe they will they patch it in the far future for more players) and it certainly won't have everything 2042 has as that game was a flop, you don't copy everything a flop had.

I'm not going to pay 70$ for a game, hell i won't even pay $60, when it's free on epic or at least 75%+ off in steam with regional pricing i'll consider it.

I think they already said it's only 32v32.

I can't find anything that says or confirms. they confirmed big maps, figured that was for 64v64, I shouldn't have assumed that. the beta maps were tight and way to many players, way to fast pace and COD like game play

Completely agree on not adding junk from junk. I also refuse to pre order, I have not seen anything worth pre ordering, I will wait for at least the first sale if I ever buy it, said this already above but the beta didn't sell me on the game.

2042 has gotten WAY better, it had a very bad start and I still would say it isn't good let alone great but it is worth playing, 2 years ago you couldn't have said that, the game was trash.

Completely agree with you on pacing, it feels like COD, it's ultra fast the time to die is super short unless you're lost on some part of the map with no enemies near. I'm not really a fan of that -at least not in BF, in cod it works because it's like that, i really like killhouse double on cod4- i like much much much slower and deliberate shooters(which is why i stay in tank sims or as closest as that, i like my engagement window and time on target to measure in tens of seconds or more).

BFV had a good TTK at launch, then people complained of dying and they gave them more health. Then it felt like you were shooting a paintball gun at people. I think a low ttk is better than shooting someone 10-12 times. Just feels ridiculous doing that lol. I just hope they have hard-core I guess.
