IMO the GOTY edition is too expensive, but the base game is worth $28. Here's the recent "what do you think of the game" reddit posts that had a LOT of comments. https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefi..._thoughts/
ehhhh on steam there's 37,000 online right now with a 60k peak this weekend. it's averaging 20k to 40k overall though in the last month. it's more than COD (29k 24 hour peak) but less than overwatch at 61k (steam)
Battlefield 6 is a fun, fast-paced shooter that captures classic Battlefield chaos, with enough appeal to feel worth around $28 for the base game. The community praise centers on its core multiplayer action, while the single-player campaign is described as very short at about 2 to 3 hours. There are also complaints about bugs, poor match balancing, removed modes like Squad Deathmatch, and a push toward shortcut kits through slower XP progression. A solid pick if you want the multiplayer and can live with the rough edges.
Players who want a fun large-scale shooter with classic Battlefield chaos, because it captures that feel even with faster pacing.
Players who expect every classic Battlefield feature to be intact, because Squad Deathmatch was removed and some standout older-series immersion and destruction are missing.
Players who already have the EA Windows app set up, because the free-play window may not apply there and can disrupt existing keybind and sensitivity setups.
Some shoppers are holding out for a sub-$10 price, especially with past EA Battlefield discounts and competing shooters offering more at lower prices. Others think anything under $20 is already a strong FPS deal, so the right move depends on how much you value playing now versus waiting for a deeper cut.
The base game is considered worth about $28, especially compared with the newly announced GOTY edition, which is seen as overpriced for mostly cosmetic extras. If you want the core Battlefield experience now, $27.99 is a reasonable buy; if you only care about extras, waiting for a deeper sale makes more sense.
Yes, it was added to Game Pass today. If you subscribe there, you can play without buying this deal, and some shoppers are waiting to see if it later lands on PlayStation Plus instead of paying now.
No, Squad Deathmatch was removed, and that change has pushed some players to stop playing. If that mode was a main reason you bought the game, the current version may feel like it has less content than at launch.

It's just cosmetics anyway, not any real content. "Too expensive" is besides the point. I would call it "unnecessary"
Seems like a great price but last year EA had a killer sale on BF games; got BF1 for $5. Wondering if I should hold out for upcoming black Friday or pull the trigger on this.
way too late at this price. this is now a sub $10 buy for me. I love battlefield but too many other games like delta force or wardogs starting at a cheaper price and doing more than waiting for a year to get here

I'd argue that anything below $20 is a phenomenal price for a masterpiece like BF1 that will easily give you back hundreds of hours of entertainment.
That said, BF1 has dipped down to $2 many many times. $5 is a great score regardless. One of the best deals in FPS gaming IMO.

yeah im waiting for $10. Heard it was overhyped and player count dipped drastically.

I think they are doing free play Oct 15-19 on Steam but not the EA windows app, which is annoying if you already used that version and have it installed with your keys/sensitivity set up.
