The general sentiment for RedSec is highly polarized, with positive comments centering on its tactical gameplay and cinematic map design, while negative reviews focus heavily on poor audio implementation, game-breaking bugs, and critiques of excessive aim assist. While some players revel in the strategic depth and vehicle integration absent in other battle royale games, others feel that the game misses its mark due to unfinished elements and a perception of being forced into the mode by challenge integration within BF6.

Positive Points

  • Many players praised the game's pacing and mechanics, describing it as a tactical and fresh take on the battle royale genre, particularly enjoying the combination of Battlefield's hallmark destruction and large-scale maps.
  • The visual environment and details of the map in RedSec are highly appreciated for their scale and quality, providing cinematic experiences.
  • Some players find it more enjoyable than Warzone, appreciating the lack of exaggerated movement mechanics and the integration of vehicle combat.
  • Negative Points

  • Numerous reviews criticized the game's audio issues, particularly the inability to hear enemy footsteps, which detracted from the overall experience.
  • There is significant displeasure with the inclusion of tanks in a battle royale setting, which players feel unbalances the game and breaks the pacing.
  • Many users reported technical problems and bugs, such as players falling through the map and poor hit registration, impacting gameplay adversely.
  • Mixed Points

  • The aim assist for console players is seen as overly strong, making it frustrating for those on PC, yet some feel this could be adjusted over time.
  • While the map design is celebrated, some players feel it is too familiar or copied from other titles like Warzone, leading to mixed feelings about its originality.
  • The inclusion of the game mode as part of Battlefield 6 challenges is divisive, with some appreciating the integrated experience and others feeling it detracts from the main game's focus.
  • Common Themes

  • Comparison to Warzone is prevalent throughout reviews, with many assessing RedSec in terms of how it measures up to or diverges from its perceived inspiration.
  • The need for further polishing and bug fixes is a frequent theme, as players acknowledge good foundations but stress that these issues must be addressed for the game to succeed.
  • Players are vocal about the forced integration of Battle Royale challenges into the main game's progression system, which many feel coerces them into playing a mode they did not desire.
