EA pave over Battlefield 2042's bullet casing-filled potholes with a "road to Battlefield 6"
The Battlefield 6 open beta is over. I'm sure everyone let out a final burst of fire that sounded equally triumphant and tragic at its conclusion. But wait, say EA, FPS lovers, where do you all think you're going?
It's at this point the publishers whip out Battlefield 2042, the much-maligned at release previous entry in the series, like they're yanking a rabbit out of a marine's helmet. He's not Battlefield 2042 anymore, they say, he's the "road to Battlefield 6". A road one can only assume is littered with IEDs and checkpoints where five people are standing around looking mean.
Battlefield 6 beta's rush mode gets a balancing tweak with EA monitoring the situation, amid player complaints about battle bigness
Update: EA have made some more balancing changes, this time affecting both the Battlefield 6 beta's rush and breakthrough modes. "In breakthrough, it now takes fewer players on an objective to speed up capture. Also, defender respawn timers in both breakthrough and rush are now fixed at 12 seconds instead of the previous 6-12 second range," the publishers wrote.
Original article follows:
EA have made a tweak to the Battlefield 6 open beta's rush, and are keeping tabs on the situation in case it needs more balancing changes. This comes as some FPS folks and Battlefield vets have voiced their displeasure with the version of the mode that's debuted in this second weekend of beta action.
The biggest moans are related to size. Namely the amount of players on each side in these revamped rush battles and the relatively small maps they're being contested on. As you might imagine, those two elements being a bit titchier in scale than previous Battlefields has also had knock on effects for other aspects of the mode.
The Battlefield 6 beta's second weekend adds new playlists, and a Custom Search feature that's missing the one thing we care about
The second and final weekend of the Battlefield 6 beta has officially kicked off, giving everyone another chance to spend a few more days with the game’s explosive multiplayer action. We’ve known that this second portion would include new content - such as the new map and modes - but DICE also had a few other tweaks lined up
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.
It's no massive reinventing of the big battlewheel, but hopefully should make a positive impact on the time folks have in this bit of the beta, which sees the Empire State map debut alongside week one's offerings. Rush and squad deathmatch modes are also joining the fray.
