Is Battlefield 6 actually broken, or is the community just failing to adapt? In this video, we perform a design audit on the most controversial gadget in the game right now: the Portable Mortar.
Following the massive changes in Update 1.2.2.0, which expanded deployment rules to HQ and spawn areas, the "interwebs" have become a dumpster fire of "unplayable" claims and "WW1 Simulator" rants.
We’re breaking down the actual technical counters that players are ignoring, looking at the history of indirect fire from BF3 and BF4, and dissecting why the "Main Villain" isn't the guy in the spawn, it's something else entirely.
We cover:
The technical breakdown of the MP-APS and HTI-MK2 counters.
Why "Mobility Tax" is the only skill-gap that matters.
Why DICE uses these "Great Equalizers" to break god-tier defensive stalemates.

Battlefield 6 News 2026
Ok, everyone. This channel exists for all the average and casual video game players. FPS games, such as Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Battlefield 1, battlefield 5, Battlefield 2042, Battlefield 6. We talk Escape From Tarkov, Borderlands, WarDogs, Squad, and more. Other titles will be added added regularly in the future once sub count and algorithm agree with each other. Just a bunch of average players just enjoying the games. Nothing too fancy. You're not going to see a ton of unicorn items on this channel. Slapping on some gear, picking up the weapons, looting or shooting, obtaining goals. Video schedule as follows:
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for full length videos related to the game titles.
Hopefully, you'll enjoy the content.
