If you've noticed that jumping around in Battlefield 6 with your knife or the repair tool out led to some sluggish movement, that should be fixed now. The Battlefield Comms X account sent out a post yesterday that a fix was rolled out addressing "an issue where jump momentum gets unintentionally interrupted when jumping with certain weapons equipped."

Battlefield Studios has proven quick on the draw with these fixes, which is just another feather in the cap of a game that's already a huge hit. While the bugs might suggest that it's been a rocky launch, for the most part, Battlefield 6 is a model citizen when it comes to optimization, and Morgan Park's review-in-progress dubs it a "salve for an FPS scene that takes itself too seriously."

Justin first became enamored with PC gaming when World of Warcraft and Neverwinter Nights 2 rewired his brain as a wide-eyed kid. As time has passed, he's amassed a hefty backlog of retro shooters, CRPGs, and janky '90s esoterica. Whether he's extolling the virtues of Shenmue or troubleshooting some fiddly old MMO, it's hard to get his mind off games with more ambition than scruples. When he's not at his keyboard, he's probably birdwatching or daydreaming about a glorious comeback for real-time with pause combat. Any day now...
