Even though so many folks were screaming about the Battlefield 6 Season 2 launch, I wanted to see what was actually happening once the servers went live.
From "ghost" dirt bikes to the 25% slide nerf that added to the rage, Season 2 (Extreme Measures) is a weird mix of some wins and massive disappointments.
In this video, I’m breaking down my first 6 hours in the "Contaminated" map, the current Steam player counts, and how I used a Stinger to troll Little Bird pilots who kept diving away from the lock-on.
Just a look at the state of the game and why I'm still looking for the "hoodrats" to squad up with.
