    Battlefield 6 Leak Shows Return of Battlefield 1 Mud Buildup Feature

    War is messy.

    In Battlefield 1, there was an immersive feature that you may not have really thought much about. When crawling through trenches and across the muddy terrain, your weapons would start to accumulate a thick layer of muck and grime. It had no actual gameplay impact but it was certainly a neat little touch that helped to make the player feel more immersed in the game.

    This mud buildup feature was sadly absent from Battlefield 2042. Of course, there were a lot...

    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
