First off, you just have to drop a bomb for EA. As not only did they have one of the most egregious deals I've ever seen in the history of deals. Because when it comes to selling out, right, safe to say, there's a way to do it. And October 8th of 2025, as far as me reporting on this, EA sold for a whopping $55 billion to Jared Kushner and Saudi investment. investors. Now for some people that may not be fitting to drop a bomb, but honestly speaking, what in the world did you think was going to happen when somebody walked to EA and said, or to the stockholders of the EA and said to them, hold up now. We have $55 billion. And then ultimately they looked at them in that office space, in that meeting and said,

$55 billion is on the table. But what are you going to do for it? Shepard. Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? So as far as the state of gaming, obviously we're getting into Battlefield 6, which is the latest installment.

And of course, of course, is developed by Battlefield Studios, which is a collab between Dice, Criterion Games, Motive Studio, ripple effect, but of course the big bad of them all, the publisher,

is electronic arts, more commonly referred to as EA. Shepard. Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? As far as what's going on in this mammoth of a game,

and I mean exact mammoth as it is currently not only the third most play game on Steam, but it's also the second most played game on PlayStation. And it's safe to say it's not on the top

10 as far as Xbox. But, to be fair, it has a 24 hour peak as of me recording this October 29th of 549,000 in the 24 hour peak now as of me recording this I just finished playing battlefield red sec which I played with my cousin you know shameless plug to that battlefield red sec and analytic dreams with a z to pull that up but ultimately I want to get into the launch sales of battlefield six specifically seven million copies which of course is a franchise record as the previous record was held by Battlefield 3 that had 5 million in one week so safe to say Battlefield 6 so passing 7 million copies in just three days we're going to be dropping bombs

without this entire segment but guess what that's not it ladies and gentlemen as when it comes to the pre-orders they already had 1.7 million pre-orders which is insane right uh 56 to 67 percent of the sales came from steam which is interesting because I felt like it was more of a console game but maybe not maybe i'm mistaken maybe people prefer battlefield type games on pc i thought battlefield games blew up your pc because i remember when one battlefield came out i don't know if it was battlefield 2042 but apparently everybody was everybody in their mama was saying that that game was phenomenal but of course it may blow up your pc i was like hold up now that ain't how it worked you guys see that's the problem there's no game that phenomenal to me to put me in a position

when I have to blow up my PC. Like if I wanted to blow on my PC, I would just play Marvel rivals on PS4, right, and put it on top of my PC because obviously that's just a ticking time bomb. So anyways, Battlefield 2042, apparently people was enjoying the game from early impressions, but of course when they eventually came out to the masses

and ran like dog, you know what. Shepherd. So now, when you come to the overall Battlefield 6, it running smoothly, it being optimized. A lot of people are seemingly running to the PC, version of this specific game and of course the open beta had 22 to 25 million total players and at one point it had 10.4 million concurrent we're talking about all platforms as far as the reported numbers so that was the open beta that was when it was for free and when it came to purchasing

the game a lot of people came out and purchased it which is why it's one of the more notorious games that's affecting the masses now do i believe the 549 000 24 hour peak will stay of course not battlefield red sex just came out if you wanted to know the concurrent player count before battlefield red sec it was 253 000 right so i think when it comes to um no no no that that was incorrect it was the all-time peak was 19 days ago as far as 747000 but i do believe when it comes to battlefield red sec being a free to play battle rea because i only played it because it was free i'm over here playing ghost of your 10 dispatch i don't have any more time for any other games so when it comes to the all-time peak of 747 000 now

19 days ago. Safe to say that the free to play battle real should probably surpass that number at some point because if you have a free to play option when people are already playing the $70 edition as far as Battlefield 6, I think that sure surpass the all time peak of 747,000. Anyways, when it comes to that, y'all should already know what Battlefield 6 is about. So I really went again to the campaign. The campaign has a length of 5.5 pause. Goodness. eyes see that's the that's like the perfect anyways um that's basically the campaign main size as far as hours 5.5 for the main 7 to 8 hours with collectibles now when you look at the setting is it's quote dagger 13 um as far as squad versus packs armada now i know i didn't play the campaign i'm basically just giving you the overview of you was wanting to dive into the campaign and think it to yourself hold up now i wonder how long it would take me to play back to feel six well now you know so the features is mission class switching as far as major set

pieces and when it comes to collectible there's 30 dog tags which unlocks a multi-player rewards so you do get multi-player rewards for playing the campaign kind of some people would prefer just to dive right into the multiplayer aspect so when it comes to the multiplayer aspect obviously you have the humongous field as far as playing with all type of groups who's diving into one area to battle it out pun intended and now a pun intended so now you have the 18th mainline title into the battlefield franchise and you're probably wondering what do they do different outside of other battlefield games well i'm not going on to you i think it's more the same but as far as battlefield i mean you have your destruction system you have your movement um as far as the lean the peaking

the drag revive i think the drag revive is new i'm not sure about that but i think dragging somebody while you revive is new i think you used to just have to revive them and when you're spot but I could be wrong about that. And of course, the portal creator which, you guys, y'all already know what's going on with that one. People took the time to create whole call of duty

maps in battlefield and they didn't think for one second the Activision was going to pop up. Like, y'all can't do that. You know, he's breaking some type of law. Activision sent some type of lawsuit, I believe, and they took that call of duty maps out of the user

portal creator expeditiously. as I forget specifically what they said about that but they definitely came out they wasn't too happy about their maps being in battlefield the direct competition right um so I was trying to see exactly what they said about that but oh yeah yeah okay so EA shuts down call of duty inspired battlefield six portal maps because guess what activation not going for none of that and they said it was it was inappropriate to put call of duty maps into the game I'm not going to lie to you they was probably looking at y'all saying like hey good hey good stuff but hey it's kind of illegal so you know we got to take it out the game but you know good stuff trying to get you know some

positive publicity saying that you can get call of duty and battlefield maps in the game but guess what it's not legal so they took it out um within hours of launch there was thousands of new worlds and over 740,000 players logged in at once maybe that's where the peak came from as far as having older call of duty maps because um yeah they took it down expeditiously and literally they had a warning sent saying while reviewing your account we saw inappropriate reference third party products in Battlefield 6

and then violation was a lot of the names hold on you let me show you analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because as you can see right here ladies and gentlemen they took this down expeditiously I mean they basically let y'all know hey if y'all want to put Call of Duty maps in Battlefield I mean you could do it from prison

if you really want to I mean you may have to turn it to to get up out of there but you know we could put you in prison you could do these maps all you want to but guess what at some point you have to take this down so um yeah definitely EA took that down expeditiously because they ain't won any problem with any problem with uh call of duty which you know that makes sense i mean imagine if somebody took a portal creator and call of duty and put all the type of all classic maps from battlefield and the call of duty it wouldn't work right so the main thing about battlefield six along with the overall just battling it out with all

type of destruction is you have non different modes you have conquest Breakthrough, Rush, Escalation, TDM, Domination, King of the Hill, Payload, and Portal. So it's going to be a lot of different modes to experiment with as far as figuring out what mode fits your play style specifically. Because when you have a bunch of players on your team, safe to say some type of, you know, the overall dynamic changes, right? You're going to be playing with people who are not as well off as you as far as FP. PS knowledge. And how you deal with that is probably the type of game mode, right? So you probably have to go through those game modes to see which how much you're willing

to tolerate as far as bad teammates. That's basically what I'm trying to say. So now when you look at the multiplayer aspects, of course you have your classes, your four classes, which is assault, which is AR, MacKIS engineer, which is anti-vehicle SMGs. You have your support, which is LMGs and ammo. You have recon, which is snipers and intel. And then, of course, you have unique class.

perks, for example, a recon breath hold. So those are your four classes in general. When it comes to the patch scheduling and the upcoming battle map, I don't really look at that as much. You know, when you look at a battle map, it's for people who are only going to play the game, in my opinion. Like if you're going to play one game a lot, you're probably going to be invested into the battle map.

I play a lot of different games because I cover an entire gaming industry. So I don't do a lot of, oh, let me dive into the battle map and see what they have upcoming. I'm on to the next game. Like, you know, it's only so much you could put in as far as time when you're trying out a lot of different games in the gaming industry, especially for me when I have to get my personal sentiments on these particular games. So if you didn't know, this is also the most expensive battlefield ever. It was a $400 million budget that was reported and it was the most expensive EA project ever. And it makes sense because the amount of money, the amount of revenue they're bringing in, I mean, Call of Duty,

panicking is not even the fitting word to say as far as how they're feeling looking at this battlefield versus call the duty this is probably the first time i've looked at call of duty and said to myself hold up now they may actually lose the fpss battle to battlefield because of course let's not forget that ready or not is a phenomenal game and it's still one of the top tier games on playstation specifically so now when you're looking at ready or not and then you're looking at battlefield right after being more of a formidable foe because we never thought that ready or not not was going to outsell call of duty but battlefield consistently is towards the top especially pc like i keep saying 50 to 60 percent of people who are playing battlefield prefer to play it on pc so now you're

looking at that aspect and them having a 549,0244 hour peak and call of duty is nowhere to be found on this list not even the the older call of duty is none of them so now you look at them launching the game because at some point let me see let me see call of duty Black Ops 6 because this specific game comes out

Oh it's already out Oh wow Okay yeah Battlefield's putting BT on Blackop 6 I'm not going to lie to you So this may be the first time Blackouts Loses out as far as

We're not the first time Because I remember Hogwarts legacy I forget what year that was It beat Call of Duty out As far as the most popular game or the most sole game that specific year. So I'm trying to get the actual year.

So let's see. February 10, 2020, so that's when Hogwarts Legacy came out. And objectively speaking, it was the most sole game of that specific year and it beat out Call of Duty. So I think when it comes to the battlefield, when it comes to Call of Duty,

they do have some ground to make up because they dropped in October as far as the year of 2025. So now we have to look at Battlefield in a minuscule type of sample. of sample size because October, November, December, that's going to be the months to showcase if it's going to outpace Call of Duty. I do believe that Battlefield finally built a brand that is bigger than Call of Duty as far

as Black Op 6. And the back-to-back Black Ops kind of told me that. It was kind of an indication of Call of Duty not being desperate, but knowing what the fans wanted and giving it to them quicker than they usually wanted. would if there was already on top with no type of competition. So I think competition is a great thing as far as making Call of Duty get their stuff together as far as being in that competitive field. So, and of course, there's praises and critiques with every single FPS that comes out after

the fact. So if you don't know, for Battlefield specifically getting into some of the reviews, PC game, it gave it an 88 out of its hands saying refinements and is the best shoot of the year. PC No, I already said PC gamer There was another one I was wanting to look at Oh, here we go IGN basically said

Oh no, there's talking about the campaign I was like 50 out of 100 Goodness gracious Shepherd Just look at the state of gaming Like what is going on It's safe to say IGN was definitely not messing with a battlefield's campaign

As they gave it a 50 out of 100 saying short and uneven Well dang, that's tough So getting back into the actual multiplayer because I think that's what a lot of people are giving the high price tours. So pure Xbox, which, you know, they're not buys at all, right? They gave it an 80 out of 100 saying strong showing update pending multiplayer. Gaming trend gave it the highest score I've seen, given their 95 out of 100, saying iconic the complete package.

And then GameRank gave it a 9 out of 10 saying best in the decade fully featured. So the main thing I was going to do is to shorten some of these reviews to give you a review roundup of the game. game and showcase how everybody is really enjoying Battlefield 6 and it may be a return to forum for the ultimate Battlefield gameplay loop because a lot of people are saying this is the most refined has ever been and as far as sales it's probably one of the few times in history you ever see Collar Duty actually sweating as far as trying to outpace another FPS's sales so with that being said that's the main thing I want to talk about Battlefield 6 is doing phenomenal objectively and from a subjective standpoint,

which, you know, obviously when it comes to the subjective, you can always think it's trash. But from a master's perspective, a lot of people are saying it's one of the best battlefields in the decade. So that being said, click my link to you in my bio, let me know in one of my social medias. What do you think about Battlefield 6 completely

putting BTA on Blackop 6 currently? And do you think it will last? And do you think that Battlefield 6 will ultimately end up being our official? Call of Duty killer.
