Comment on Is there any way of trying Battlefield 6 without buying it or paying £17 for a 1 month EA Play Pro subscription?

  Could you name a few that are almost exactly like Battlefield, came out in the last decade, and let me host my own servers?

      Perusing the Steam forums seems to indicate I can’t host my own server.

        I dunno what you’ve found on the Steam forums, but the game comes with the dedicated server software used to self host.

      It doesn’t let you host your own servers, and it didn’t come out in the last decade.

      Planetside 2 gunplay is hot garbage and always has been, BF6 blows it out of the water in that respect

      We have very different definitions of “almost exactly like Battlefield”.

        Every game with a billion Dollar budget like battlefield will have a turd like EA attached.

        If you want to be morally superior and boycott them you will have to make some drawbacks in production quality. No game by an Indie or AA studio can be “almost exactly like battlefield”.

        That’s fair. Battlefield is the most basic of all three. COD being even more basic with the elimination small maps. They all have a class system, military assets, and the same basic concept of teams. The difference is in the realism/depth of how far you want to go. Now, what OP is asking for is not practical from a business standpoint. You need deviation to separate your product. So there is going to be that deviation to the point of it being worthwhile to compete with the battlefield. But never to be what OP is asking for. It isn’t smart business.
