The graphics are just too much now.

I haven't played BF since BF3, I thought the series peaked with BFBC2 if I'm honest.... But graphically now there is just too much mess, it's too noisy. I was watching someone play BF2 earlier and I thought it looked so much better, you could tell what was what, it was clean and yet it still played the exact same, BF hasn't changed... Which is a bit depressing as I remember thinking we'd be on 5000 player servers by now.
I just played like 10 mins of the game and I instantly know, I hate it. Reminds me a bit like CS2 and why I do not like that game, the maps are too noisy now and that game isn't anywhere as bad as this one. I liked the old cleaner CS:GO maps way better, I could tell what was what and the map felt real. Where as this game it all feels fake, like it's all a texture and I cannot tell what is the world and what isn't. Like if you did that texture pop in thing UE3 games used to do and took away all the detail, it would make this game better 100 percent.
Why OW1 worked so well for me back in 2016 before Blizzard ruined it with role queue. Yes it looks flashy, but I can tell what is the map and what isn't, it all felt real and sturdy. BF6 is just like noise and crap everywhere, I feel like I cannot work out what is what..... Take the UI away and you'd have no idea what you're looking at and that is a big problem.

Yes, the graphics are a chaotic mess. It's so ugly and uneappealing.

Well in short: nobody will remember any map from BF6 in a few months from now on as theres nothing worth to remember, not even the Map names.
I feel the same, just looks like generic assets printed with the help of AI and then rolled the DICE of what goes where.
Design was so lazy, even some stairwells leading into walls
Probably the same tool Dying Light The Beast used, indoor walls have windows leading to a wall.

It looks great if you have a nice PC, I think it should have full raytracing. Wish it looked better.

Yep, and all the random skins ruin the ability to quickly identify friend vs foe when you DO manage to see them.
Then you've got things like smoke and various clutter rendering differently on each client.
Also doesn't help any that modern deferred rendering requires post-process AA that causes blurring/ghosting, never mind upscaling.
It's not just a BF problem though, nearly all modern games have these kind of visibility issues, even some of the more cartoonish looking ones.
There was an article released by Valve in the early days of TF2 that detailed all the work they put into making sure each class had a unique silhouette and clear red/blue colors that allowed them to be instantly identified at a glance, and how important that ability to identify quickly was. Then mtx cosmetics came along and that entire design philosophy was forgotten.

Thats the issue with most modern games made on modern game engines. First thing I do when opening a new game is disabling motion blur and setting film grain to zero and then slowly tweaking everything not needed down untill graphics become more appealing (FPS boost and less stuttering is nice too).

Visibility is in a really bad place right now for sure. Thankfully lots of people are discussing it and the devs are aware and working on a number of improvements.

No, your completely wrong. Your playing at Low Res. and quality preset.
I can't describe how beautiful this game looks on 4K Extreme

There was a battlefield friends episode on youtube about this back in like 2011 making fun of people saying the game's (battlefield 3) graphics were too good on PC. The circle of life
