Battlefield 6 Update Improves Jet Combat And Knife Attacks

Battlefield 6 Update Improves Jet Combat And Knife Attacks https://ift.tt/aPR1G6Q Earlier this week, Battlefield 6 's Season 2 launch was pushed back to February 17 to give the development team more time to implement some needed changes. But that doesn't mean there won't be some improvements ahead of time. Electronic Arts has announced that Battlefield 6 Update 1.1.3.5 will arrive on Tuesday, January 20, and it's bringing some good news for anyone who wanted the jet combat to be more refined.

After playing them myself at a press event ahead of their staggered launch dates this week, I've trained myself to not call them "modes," as any one of them would make sense as a standalone game. It's sometimes been the case where a game on another maker-game platform like Roblox gets so popular that an outside studio acquires it in a buyout.
