Battlefield 6; Image credit: Electronics Arts (EA) by L.W. Barker aka 'SARGE' Now don't get me wrong, I love Battlefield and have been playing the game since Battlefield 1942. But lately I've been playing more Call of Duty, and the reason for that is just as the title of this article states...Battlefield's shooting mechanics suck, and it has nothing to do with my game playing skills because I've slain my fair share of enemy players in past incarnations of Battlefield!
