40-Second Battlefield 6 Clip Shows 21 Rapid Kills — Fans Say It Plays Like Call of Duty
A short clip of high-level Battlefield 6 gameplay has been shared widely online, and it shows a player stringing together rapid kills that many fans say highlight how the new game feels faster and more twitch-focused than older Battlefield titles.
- What the clip shows and where it appeared.
- Which mechanics players point to as different from past Battlefield games.
- What DICE has said and what might change before launch.
The clip and where it came from
The reaction comes from Twitch personality stonemountain64, and a Reddit post collecting the footage has drawn attention from Battlefield communities. In the short clip, one player appears to kill roughly 21 opponents in under a minute while using a shotgun, high field of view, and very fast movement transitions. The Reddit post collecting the clip is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1ms7how/this_movement_should_not_be_possible_in_bf6_dice/.
What the footage actually shows
Concretely, viewers have pointed out several observable elements in the footage. First, the player uses what looks like a near-instant 180-degree turn mechanic. Second, the player chains jumps and slides quickly, producing movement that resembles bunny hopping. Third, the player frequently aims down sights while moving fast. Finally, the match settings appear to use a wide field of view, which makes the action look faster.
Those factors combined led many observers to describe the gameplay as more similar to fast shooters like Call of Duty or Doom, rather than the slower, more methodical pacing associated with earlier Battlefield games. At the same time, the beta was well-attended, indicating strong player interest despite the complaints.
Developer statements and possible changes
DICE has said it is monitoring movement and the overall flow of battle, with an aim to fine-tune those systems before launch. You can read the official community update here: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/news/community-update-open-beta-and-the-road-to-launch.
Additionally, DICE has discussed the game’s pacing versus older entries. A recent comment from the game lead encourages players to try Battlefield 3 and 4, and states that the new game is as “slow and deliberate” as previous titles.
We are very much looking back at our past modern incarnations when it comes to pacing. I'd urge everyone to go and play some smaller/medium map BF3 and BF4 to get a good example of the intensity curve.
It is slower and more deliberate on the larger maps, as it was in the past.— David Sirland (@tiggr_) August 18, 2025
Other notes from the beta
Players have also raised points about map size, weapon class openness, and player counts in some modes. Those are concrete design choices in the beta that community members have referenced when comparing the feel of Battlefield 6 to both older Battlefield games and other modern shooters. Separately, reports indicate the game may later add a server browser to help players find matches and communities that match their preferred playstyle.
What players are saying
Community reactions have varied. Some players say the faster pace makes the game exciting. Others worry it moves the series away from its traditional strengths. One commentor wrote, “Cant log into [many] FPS anymore without being greeted by this stuff and makes every shooter feel the same to me.”
Overall, the clip has crystallized existing beta debates: whether Battlefield 6’s faster, twitch-oriented movement and combat are intentional design choices, or issues DICE should dial back before the October release. DICE’s public statements and the live-service nature of the game leave room for further adjustments.
