Battlefield 6 has officially launched as one of the biggest releases of 2025, and players from all over the world have almost universally been enjoying the multiplayer experience. However, while Battlefield has never been known for its campaign mode, players are completely divided over whether Battlefield 6’s campaign is just another mediocre BF story or one of the best entries in the franchise.
While some Battlefield 6 players such as TDAWG on X argue that the game’s story is middling and agree with critical reviews regarding the campaign’s lackluster story, many players such as Reddit’s sohiales argue that the campaign is actually quite good.
Battlefield 6 Players Debate Whether Campaign Matters
Battlefield Is Not Historically Known For Its Campaign Quality
Battlefield fans have never been invested in the franchise for its storytelling or campaign modes, but early previews of Battlfield 6’s campaign suggested that its campaign could be a major step forward and had the potential of reinventing the narrative components in Battlefield games.
This prediction didn’t necessarily pan out once the game fully released though, with Screen Rant’s own review (among others) highlighting the poor character development and story. As with any major release, opinions over the quality of any element are going to vary among the player base, but there are quite a few players across social media channels praising the game’s campaign, such as HeartPhelt (via X).
Other players have mixed feelings about Battlefield 6’s campaign, such as ModernWarzone (via X), who points out that the campaign cinematics and gameplay are incredible, but the story is lacking. Ultimately, the situation is sparking a debate over whether the campaign in Battlefield games needs to be good, or if players should just accept a mediocre story as par for the course.
Our Take: Battlefield 6’s Campaign Is Worth It
The Campaign Might Not Blow Your Mind, But It’s Fun
With varying opinions circulating online about Battlefield 6’s campaign, it’s become abundantly clear that you should judge it for yourself. Many players will completely avoid the story mode of Battlefield games because they are only in it for the multiplayer experience, which is totally acceptable. However, there’s no question that the campaign is a ton of fun, even if the story itself doesn’t completely blow your mind.
Players do not need to experience the campaign to enjoy Battlefield 6, but if you are basing your decision solely on social media posts or reviews, it might be a bit of a struggle figuring out if the story is actually worth it. In this case, you really are better off playing it and seeing for yourself, because opinions will certainly vary over the game’s narrative quality.
