Marcus Lehto, the co-creator of Halo, has expressed his disappointment over the lack of proper credit given to his former team at Ridgeline Games for their contributions to Battlefield 6. Despite their foundational work on the game's narrative campaign, team members were under-credited, with many relegated to a 'Special Thanks' section in the end credits. This recognition came after Ridgeline was shut down, following EA's larger restructuring, which also involved the layoffs of numerous employees. Lehto articulated the importance of acknowledging all contributors in game development and took to LinkedIn to honor his team's efforts.

Why were the Ridgeline Games staff not properly credited in Battlefield 6?

The Ridgeline Games staff were not properly credited due to a mix of company restructuring and the studio's closure shortly after their contributions, leading to many being placed in a minimal credit section despite their significant efforts.

The Battlefield franchise has long been a staple of competitive first-person shooters, known for its large-scale battles and destructible environments. Battlefield 6 aimed to innovate following the backlash from Battlefield 2042, which received criticism for lacking a compelling single-player narrative. Despite the massive success of its multiplayer component upon release, the single-player campaign of Battlefield 6 faltered in reviews.
