Fans of Battlefield 6 have consistently voiced their disapproval of the game adopting elements found in Call of Duty, such as celebrity operators and whimsical, cartoon-inspired skins. In a clear response, EA and Battlefield Studios have released a live-action Battlefield 6 trailer that satirically introduces and then brutally eliminates celebrity `soldiers,` seemingly mocking Call of Duty`s approach.
The trailer features Zac Efron, Jimmy Butler, Morgan Wallen, and Paddy Pimblett, all playing themselves as ultimately expendable combatants. This cinematic choice echoes Call of Duty`s past `There’s A Soldier In All Of Us` campaigns, which also showcased numerous celebrities like Sam Worthington, Jonah Hill, and Dwight Howard. However, unlike their comparatively smoother experience in the Call of Duty videos, these celebrities face intense urban chaos and highly destructible environments in the Battlefield 6 rendition.
Previously, Battlefield 6 unveiled a campaign launch trailer that emphasized the game-changing impact of environmental destruction, showcasing how collapsing buildings can dynamically reshape combat scenarios. Additionally, a separate trailer highlighted the innovative Battlefield Portal mode, a feature designed to empower players with tools to create custom maps, thus introducing an even greater degree of chaos and personalization into battles.
Rebecka Coutaz, head of DICE, recently articulated a strong commitment to delivering a significantly enhanced Battlefield experience, aiming to redeem the franchise after the less-than-favorable reception of Battlefield 2042. Initial impressions of the game have already been published following an exclusive hands-on preview. The wider player base will have the opportunity to experience and evaluate Battlefield 6 firsthand upon its release for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on October 10.
