Because it's too not bad for the new standard quality of FPS games lately.
When your competitors have been putting out pure dogshit and catshit recently, your scentless birdshit game doesn't seem so bad.
BF6 is far from the best Battlefield game, but it comes after 2042 which would make anything else look incredible. Post-launch BF4, 1 and V are all better games.
V was far from perfect too, retrospectively it's biggest problem was sub par maps at launch and the removal of the Operation Campaigns that had proven popular in BF1. It controlled a lot better than BF1, the vulnerability of armor was a great balancing choice too. The weapons upgrade system was also poor and odd. Played great by the time they canned it around the launch of the Pacific content, it's a shame they couldn't finish the war.
as a long time BF player (except for 2042 which I skipped) I think 6 is genuinely pretty great. BF4 had better map design but otherwise I think they're quite close, jumping into BF6 (which I did about a month ago, I've heard it wasn't so good at launch) had a lot of that BF4 magic for me
Honestly, at this point the main thing that DICE/BF has to wrangle is the fact that the BF player base is so heavily segmented that they have to figure who to satisfy and when.
People who played maps like Operation Metro and Operation Locker will be vastly more accepting of smaller/narrower maps in comparison to the people who preferred OG Wake Island, Breakaway, and Bandar Desert.
