Oh man, so get this: there’s this developer who’s been working on Battlefield 6, and they let it slip (maybe on purpose?) that during the upcoming open beta, players can mess around with both class-locked and open weapons systems. Sounds like a mashup of chaos and choice, right? Battlefield 6 is this big anticipated thing after Battlefield 2042 — remember that? They’re in the testing phase now and promised us a release date soon-ish.
Anyways, so EA is dropping bombshells even before giving us a release date. They’ve marked July 24, 2025, for the big launch of the Battlefield 6 reveal trailer. Maybe it’s just me, but it kinda feels like we already know a bunch, thanks to EA’s Battlefield Labs testing program. They’ve been working hand in hand with the community. Spoilers are everywhere! Rumors fly about sweeping changes that might just rock the Battlefield traditions.
You know what caught my eye? The class system. Yep, I know, it’s one more thing to debate in heated forums. They’re ditching class-locked weapons for more freedom — or chaos, same thing, right? But hold your horses, ’cause David Sirland, the Lead Producer, popped onto Twitter and said, “Hey, we might actually let you choose.” So during the open beta, you can hop between a playlist of closed weapons and one with the new open system. The specifics? Like, in the closed one, only Assault classes grab Assault Rifles. It’s like, heyy, old Battlefield 4 vibes calling back.
Right, now, maybe you’re wondering if this is sticking around after the beta. EA’s being all secretive about that. I get the sense that they’re testing the waters, trying to see what the player base vibes with. You know, gathering data or whatever suits their big multiplayer vision. Honestly, I gotta admit, I’m curious. Which system’s gonna whet the community’s appetite? We’ll see soon enough.
So for anyone pumped to dive in and play around with these weapon systems, mark your calendar for the open beta. You know, try both out and see where you stand. But really, who knows what’s gonna happen beyond that. Will they keep both options? It’s anybody’s guess. Just one of those gaming mysteries we’ll eventually crack, perhaps.
