Battlefield 6 is on a rampage as its open beta attracts over 520,000 concurrent players. The game is yet to launch fully, and it's already stomping most of the competition, Call of Duty included. Mike Ybarra, former Blizzard exec, said this is a good thing—and he's absolutely right.
According to Ybarra, BF6 will “boot stomp CoD” in 2025, which should prompt Call of Duty to not be “lazy” anymore, in turn resulting in everyone getting better first-person shooters down the line. That might seem like a pretty straightforward take, but not everyone agreed with it. Lots of players, especially those favoring Call of Duty, disagreed with Ybarra's message, while those on Battlefield's side ran with it like their lives depended on it.
