Battlefield 6's second beta weekend kicks off today, with EA making some playlist and matchmaking tweaks

The dawn of the second Battlefield 6 open beta weekend is here. Before it got underway, EA made a few tweaks based on feedback from last week's bout of FPSing about, with the headliners being some playlist changes and the introduction of custom match searching.
