This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I loved 2042 after they patched it but haven't been able to get into 6 really… Did you play both? If so, what stands out as notably better about the most recent iteration?

I refunded 2042 so can't really compare. But basically... It just plays really well. The guns feel very satisfying to use. Conquest mode feels like a true return to form. Great sound design and visuals.

Bf1 is my favourite in the series for reference having played all except 2042.

I doubt I'll reach more than a few hundred hours in bf6 before I uninstall forever and go back to playing bf1 and bf4. It doesn't seem like EA is interested in adding anything to the classic modes and is hyper focused on battle pass and battle royale and other stupid shit nobody wants.

Biggest gripe is maps are too small. It's really dumb taking off in a jet and immediately being able to see the enemy airstrip. It should be like way, way bigger lol

Hmm yeah I think I'd really enjoy a Planetside 2 with modern military motif minus all the "simulation" (menu clicking) and learning curve of something like Arma. A quick search says the Super Hornet's combat range is ~300mi, definitely not a "see the other side's airfield as soon as you're up" amount of distance.
