Call of Duty Takes a Cue from Battlefield: A Crucial BF6 Leak Surfaces

Sure thing, here it goes. Here’s my take on it:

—

Okay, so picture this: Xbox spills the beans, like, totally by accident! Some images pop up on the Call of Duty app, and guess what? Black Ops 7 has this new multiplayer thing called Skirmish. It’s like a face-off of 20v20. So, you’ve got two teams, fighting it out over big maps — wingsuits and everything. I mean, wingsuits? Really? Whoever thought of that probably loves skydiving. Anyway, there’s rumors about capture points and some payloads you can blow up. Honestly, sounds a bit like Battlefield’s whole Conquest thing, you know?

Now, speaking of Battlefield, DICE is dialing it back big time. Remember Battlefield 2042 and that whole 128-player chaos? Yeah, not happening again. They’re going back to 64-player lobbies. So, Call of Duty’s trying to swoop in and fill that ‘big battle’ void. Makes you wonder how Battlefield will react. Maybe they’ve got a trick up their sleeve with that battle royale thing that leaked. Isn’t it odd how things always seem to leak?

Let’s pause and go back to Battlefield’s Conquest mode. I always loved how it felt epic, like you’re part of something huge. Taking zones, using vehicles — it wasn’t just running around shooting. Oh, and those wingsuits from Battlefield 2042? Guess what, Call of Duty’s doing the same thing now. I guess it was only a matter of time.

The wingsuits make for these crazy fast moves and fun rooftop dives, which I guess Call of Duty thought, “Hey, let’s toss that in.” Feel like they’re copying the homework but changing it a bit so it’s not too obvious, but maybe it is? Who knows!

But here’s the deal, Call of Duty still doesn’t have that squad vibe Battlefield has. In Battlefield, everyone has a role — medics, engineers, support. It’s like a little team dance. Black Ops 7 seems to miss that part. It’s more of a free-for-all, no medics looking out for you. It’s every person for themselves!

Now, the juicy part — Battlefield’s next move. With Call of Duty trying to stomp on their turf, Battlefield might just dive into that battle royale scene for real this time. Remember Firestorm? Yeah, a bit of a flop, wasn’t it? But now, whispers are saying a new royale mode’s in the works. If DICE plays it smart, makes it free, keeps the content coming, who knows? They might just steal the spotlight back.

The class system in Battlefield could really shine in a battle royale. I wonder how epic it would be to have engineers setting traps, medics patching people up, and support classes doing, well, all the supporty stuff. There’s even talk about something called an Oversight system. Imagine keeping an eye on things through drones after you’ve been knocked out. Wild, right?

At the end of the day, if Battlefield pulls this off, they could swipe back some of their mojo. And honestly? I’m here for the ride.
