Colorful First Season Skins Bring Battlefield 6 Player Criticism
Battlefield 6 launched with good fanfare and even good prospects of raising interest among gamers in a more grounded alternative to shooters that lamely boast of colourful and exotic cosmetics among their feature lists. But, according to player feedback, the initial realistic aesthetics of the game seem to be coming to an abrupt end.
First Season Skins Fail to Impress
Moving into the new season, operator skins for the game have surfaced and received public censure from the community. Most players feel that these new, colorful, and vibrant designs contradict the 'grounded' and realistic facet that had sold the game, and some feel that this dense shift occurred just 18 days after launching.
The main complaint concerns the new cosmetics that some have described as a colorful circus or paintball. Such include the following concerns:
- Cartoonish weapon designs and camouflage with neon highlights.
- Confusion in separating the teams visually because of bright outfits.
- Not at all representative of realistic military gear elite would wear in combat.
Community Reaction and Online Discussion
A Reddit thread regarding new skins has blown up, garnering over 19,000 points in votes shared with readers of the author's disappointment at this new approach. Players in the discuss section feel nostalgia for the more historically grounded visuals provided by titles like Battlefield 1.
That said, there currently appears to be a massive dose of scepticism among the community, which evidence from similar forums has shown will probably not have any ear with the developer to change the trend for the game's visual style. Most of the fans think that the trend will lastly lead the company to bring more of those colorful and non-realistic cosmetics in future updates.
