Battlefield 6 asking you to uninstall its only player campaign is completely sensible

Games are huge nowadays. It is not uncommon to see trip-a-blockbuster take up 80 GB or more on your console or computer when everything is installed. By knowing this, you often have to be aware of how much space occupies at a certain time, unless you want to be caught with your digital pants down.

Over the years, I have spent so much time uninstalling games I was going to play because I would need the space they occupied or suddenly realized that I could only handle a few things at a time without spending money on an extra hard drive or SSD. My gaming life turns out more fun when I have more memory to play with and less need to worry about managing every single console I own when a new game comes out.

When it comes to Battlefield 6, which arrived in PS5, Xbox and PC last week, EA and Dice have implemented an alternative designed to reduce the installation size over time, but players appear to take it the wrong way.

Why do people thump the Battlefield 6 player campaign?

If you have read some reviews for Battlefield 6 – Spring included – you know that the single -player campaign is nothing special. Its weak story, predictable sets and lack of Polish are difficult to ignore compared to the excellent multiplayer. While a certain clear effort has been made to take us on a globe traveler with weapons and explosions, it is difficult to put it on the same level as other items in the series or something that Call of Duty has done in recent years. It's a bit of a stink, and chances are many players will not play it anyway.

So if you have installed it when you download the entire game, you will probably save space and nuka campaign from circulation immediately. But if you decide to play through the solo campaign until the end, when you return to it in the main menu, you will be presented with an “uninstallation” option by default to save space. People online already treat this as a kind of well -deserved dunk, as if Battlefield 6 is painfully aware of how mediocre their campaign really is and can't wait for everyone to uninstall it.

Regardless of its quality, this is just not the case at all. Instead, I see it as a modern triple-A title that actually has the brain to remind players that they are leaving a 15 GB installation on their console that does not serve any further purpose. We can use that space, and here is a game that ensures that we do not forget it.

So, what's the problem? For many, I think it comes to the second violin position that single -player campaigns have come to occupy over the past decade.

Single-player-shooting campaigns deserves our respect

It's no secret that many people pick up the battlefield for multiplayer alone. This is exactly why 2042 eliminated the situation completely, while Battlefield 1 and 5 contained war stories that focused on individual characters and mechanics instead of a longer story. It seemed to me that dice and EA began to understand where its priorities would be and went heavy in that direction. It is perfect to use resources in this way, but it also saw the audience develop unfair views about the role of a single player in Battlefield and how this part of each new game will always be bad.

Often that is the case, but it feels like we unnecessarily throw the campaign under the bus for the online gap here rather than admit a rather innovative way to keep the player informed of a gaming installation that they have no use for. It does not act as if the campaign is now over you will never experience it again, only that the majority of players will not. If you don't chase Platinum trophy, wipe it from your hard drive and be done with it.

Battlefield 6 is actually quite smart here, so it sucks that the players online treat it as a tiring joke.
