To the dismay of sweaty 'movement kids,' Battlefield 6 is nerfing Call of Duty sliding and jumping to maintain a 'traditional Battlefield experience' | Battlefield 6 won't be as twitchy at launch.


Battlefield 6 won't be as twitchy at launch.

The announcement came in an"Open Beta Debrief" blog published on Battlefield's official social channels, which, in addition to movement, touched on hot topics like map size, Rush, and weapon balance. Series veterans argued throughout the beta that there wasn't enough of an accuracy penalty for shooting while sliding into a room or jumping around corners—hallmark tools of Call of Duty "movement kids" —and developers agree. "These changes are designed to make sliding and jumping more situational, so they are no longer ideal options for engaging in gunfights, and will contribute to a gameplay pace that rewards skillful movement without becoming too fast or unpredictable."
