Alongside the reveal ofBattlefield 6’s release date and price today, DICE also discussed the shooter’s content, including its maps, movement, and more.

Battlefield 6 Hits Major Wishlist Milestone In Two Days
The data about wishlists for Battlefield 6 is out, and the franchise can hope for a comeback.
Alongside the map count, DICE also discussed the shooter’s class system, which will feature four classes similar to those in past Battlefield games.
The trailer showcases some of the gadgets associated with each class and what each can do on the battlefield.
DICE is introducing a new combat system, which the studio calls “kinesthetic,” that’s featured in the trailer. Players can now drag fallen comrades while reviving them to avoid enemy gunfire (and it just looks cool). You can now mount weapons on cover, and the peek and leaning shooting mechanics are also coming back as well.
This also adds a new way to ride vehicles. Players can now “hitch a ride” alongside vehicles by hanging on their back.
Classes will once again be comprised of: Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon.While DICE is still undecided on whether weapons will be locked to classes or not, each class will also have signature traits that help make each class unique outside of the gadgets they can use in combat.
Based on what’s revealed, Battlefield fans are in for something special come October 10. Let’s just hope DICE can continue it with solid support. There’s alsothe battle royale mode, which will be revealed at a later date.
