The Battlefield series, to me, has always thrived when it leans into weaponized stupidity.

EA's flagship multiplayer shooter franchise just works best when it feels like a rollercoaster that careened out of control three loops ago. Ideally, Battlefield is a game about cowardly huddling behind a tank with a vehicle repair torch for an entire match while helicopters explode around you every 30 seconds. Vehicle parts fly by your face on a regular basis, and merely sticking your head out to see what's going on will probably result in an opportunistic sniper ruining your day. When I play Battlefield, personal stats or even winning don't really matter; I'm there to see very expensive looking explosions and die in hilarious ways as often as possible.
