Here's your first look at Battlefield 6

The Verge5 days ago
It's been a long time coming, but EA is finally ready to show off the next Battlefield.
The new game, dubbed Battlefield 6, takes place during some kind of wide-ranging war; the debut trailer opens with a presidential address punctuated by explosions and destruction that seem to be happening all over the world. There's not much in the way of gameplay in the trailer, but it looks like Battlefield 6 will focus heavily on spectacle and set-pieces. A reveal of the game's multiplayer is coming on July 31st where we'll presumably be able to see more of it in action.
Here's the official description from EA:
The trailer offers a first look at Pax Armata, a Private Military Corporation bankrolled by former NATO states whose agenda threatens to throw the world into global conflict. This sets the scene for what players can expect on the battlefield — both in multiplayer and the return of the series' single player campaign.
In Battlefield 6, the series' incredible blend of visceral combat, epic warfare, and player freedom returns. Blow through walls and bring down buildings for a tactical advantage or take to the skies in white-knuckle dogfights. Take part in a war filled with tanks, fighter jets, and sweeping combat at a grand scale but remember: the deadliest weapon is your squad.
It's not clear yet when the game will launch, nor on what platforms, thought leaks have pointed to an October debut on current-gen consoles and PC.
Battlefield 6 is also a massive production, being developed by four different studios under the banner 'Battlefield Studios.' They include original developer DICE; Burnout and Need for Speed studio Criterion; EA Motive, the team behind the Dead Space remake; and a relatively new team known as Ripple Effect.
It's a major moment for EA, particularly after the most recent game in the series — 2021's Battlefield 2042 — 'did not meet expectations,' according to the company. Battlefield 6 will be entering a market that is no less competitive, going up against annual Call of Duty releases, including this year's Black Ops 7, and entrenched live-service shooters like Fortnite.

Brie Bella Reveals The ‘Roadblock' In The Way Of Her WWE Return

Brie Bella says there might be something — or someone, rather — getting in the way of her possible return to WWE. Nikki Bella made her WWE in-ring return earlier this year, and she's made subsequent appearances at WWE Evolution and on RAW. When the Bellas do press for their respective projects, one or both are usually asked when Brie will be coming back. Brie Bella has addressed this on a few occasions, claiming that she was just waiting for the phone call from WWE. However, Brie now shared that this particular comment was designed to keep interviews moving. During a new solo-hosting episode of the Nikki & Brie show, Brie was talking about the various 'roadblocks' in her life. 'There's been what I can consider a roadblock, but it's also a good sign. And that's where I make a joke because I've been on red carpets or in interviews. There's one question that I constantly get asked. And it is, 'When will we see you back in the ring?' As if I have that power. And I always make a joke because when I'm in interviews. I don't want to ever answer something serious because usually it's a quick question and they need a quick answer. So I have constantly made the joke, 'Oh, waiting on the call.' Which in some ways, can be true. And in some ways, I am just saying something cheeky and sweet so I can get on to the next question. Brie Bella says her husband in AEW is her roadblock with WWE After mentioning why she answers this way, Brie said she believes the roadblock to her in-ring return is the fact that her husband, Bryan Danielson, is employed by AEW. Brie noted that people are entitled to be uncomfortable with the situation, but she sees it as a potential sign. 'But what I wanted to bring up, because I feel like, ok, it's something that's important in these solo episodes, is to open up to all of you [about] what I'm going through so I can help some of you. But when I look at that, I know my roadblock is the fact that my husband is with the rival company,' Brie Bella said. 'For some people, it makes them uncomfortable at WWE, thinking I would be there while my husband is with AEW. 'And you know what? That's ok,' she continued. 'I've looked at that roadblock as people have the right to feel. If people feel uncomfortable, they're uncomfortable, and that's ok. They have that right. Does it bum me out sometimes when I wish their feelings were different? Absolutely. But, it doesn't make me angry and it doesn't make me bitter. It makes me [realize] that that is a sign that I am supposed to be staying in my 'soft girl era.'

Today's Wordle #1501 Hints And Answer For Tuesday, July 29th

How to solve today's Wordle. Looking for Monday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: How To Solve Today's Wordle Tuesday is here and we have a Wordle to solve. In unrelated news, I watched the new Netflix movie Happy Gilmore 2, the sequel to the Adam Sandler golf-comedy classic, and made a video review that you can watch right here if you're interested. I've been making more videos lately. I once even toyed with the idea of doing Wordle guides on my YouTube channel but decided against it. In any case, it's Wordle time! Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer: Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

Today's Wordle Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. It's still funny to me that SPAIN works for a Wordle guess since most proper nouns do not. It wasn't a very good opener today, leaving me with 404 remaining solutions. CHORE was very lucky, however, slashing that number down to just one: OMEGA for the win! Today's Wordle Bot We flip the tables once again. I get 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 0 for guessing in four and -1 for losing to me. Our totals as we near the end of July come to: Erik: 10 points Wordle Bot: 8 points This is seriously anybody's game! The word "omega" comes from Greek: ō mega (ὦ μέγα), meaning "great O" — with ō (ὦ) being the long "o" sound and mega (μέγα) meaning "great." It was used to distinguish it from omicron (ο μικρόν), meaning "small o." In the Greek alphabet, omega (Ω, ω) is the last letter, symbolizing the end or finality.

I Take These Plug-and-Play Modular Speakers Everywhere

Doing a quick search for Bluetooth speakers online gets me dozens upon dozens of options, which quickly becomes pretty overwhelming, even though I review these products for CNET. There are the more popular Bluetooth speaker options, and the safe buys, like the JBL Charge 6 and the Soundcore Boom 2 by Anker, both of which I've personally used. But each Bluetooth speaker serves a different purpose so if I'm buying a new speaker, I need to think about what I want out of it. What I'm looking for is a versatile speaker. One that's portable but sounds high-quality. One that I can use at home and in the office or toss up at a backyard party. That's where Rocksteady's Stadium 2.0 speakers come in. I can connect an unlimited number of high-quality speakers with the Stadium, including a wireless sub-woofer, for any summer activity I have going on. They're wireless, portable and have up to 30 hours of battery. A Bluetooth speaker that can morph from travel companion to full-blown party setup Rocksteady's Stadium 2.0 kits all strive to do what most other Bluetooth speakers can't easily do: scale from a single bedside speaker to a backyard surround sound rig, all without the tangle of cables, and still provide high-quality sound. You can go with a single speaker ($150), which offers a dual-driver setup (powered tweeter and mid-bass driver) along with dual bass drums, so you get crisp highs, warm mids and some of that low-end thump. I use a single speaker in my bedroom or office, where it's a relatively confined space, where I don't need too much. This is a single Rocksteady Stadium speaker, great for smaller spaces. Nelson Aguilar/CNET If you want to upgrade your listening experience to something punchier, you can add a dedicated subwoofer ($180) to your speaker. You obviously get more bass, and you notice the difference if you're listening to hip-hop or EDM, or watching a movie with lots of gunfire and explosions. If you want to go this route, I would definitely recommend the speaker and subwoofer pack ($400), which comes with two speakers and a sub. The two speakers with the subwoofer can easily upgrade your TV audio. Nelson Aguilar/CNET But where the Rocksteady Stadium 2.0 excels is in the four-speaker and subwoofer pack. Yeah, it is a little expensive at $600, but if you have the money, it offers the most versatility because you can connect as few or as many speakers as you need for whatever occasion. This is the setup I use the most for everything from backyard barbecues and parties at Airbnbs to listening parties and movie nights. Setting up all your speakers is as easy as a tap of a button Getting the Stadium 2.0 up and running is pretty simple. You can power on any speaker and then hit the Bluetooth icon to pair it to your phone -- you should see a unique "Rocksteady_XXXX" ID. That first speaker will become the host. After that, simply hit the Stadium button on the host and then on each extra satellite speaker, or wireless sub, to add it to the mesh. It takes about 15 seconds to pair all of the speakers into one, and the best thing about it is that your speakers remember this lineup, so the next time you turn them on, they'll all automatically connect, without you having to re-pair them. There are buttons to connect to bluetooth, pair with other speakers, pause and play music, skip songs and adjust the volume. Nelson Aguilar/CNET Once you're all linked up, you can assign each speaker with a left, right or stereo duty designation with a quick toggle, letting you build a two-channel desktop rig for your computer or a bunch of dual-duty speakers for surround-sound in your backyard. The system keeps all channels in sync up to roughly 150 feet, and each box charges over USB-C, so grabbing any phone brick will top them off for the quoted 30-hour run time. And the four-speaker kit comes with a carrying case, so it's easy to travel with all your speakers. On the side you'll find controls to switch the speaker designation (left, both, right), plug in an aux cable and charge the speaker (USB-C). Nelson Aguilar/CNET In short: no app, no cables, no headache -- just place, pair and press play.
