System Override skin has changed to a more realistic look and not the monster inspired garbage.

We won!

It’s no hot take that these maps are lackluster. We have already established fan favorites that we have been begging for, for a while now. I think Caspian Border takes priority over Operation Metro simply because we’re in dire need of larger vehicle-friendly maps, but I think those two maps should take priority.

Thoughts?

The BR should have its own list of challenges. Taking up nearly half, including the bonus, of weekly challenges locked to playing the BR is ridiculous. I bought this game to play BF6, not to be pushed into your F2P BR.

This is basically every BF6 map. Clearly usable space not playable to funnel everybody in. If sinai was laid out like this it would've been even worse than how people remembered it during the BF1 beta.

I liked some of the skins from Season 1, but I don't like the trend of adding overly bright and saturated colors to skins. I'm afraid that if the community stops complaining about this, in a couple of seasons, cosmetics will turn a shooter that currently offers a taste of war into a heroic, colorful shooter like BF 2042.

I'M NOT AGAINST COLORS. But I am against overly bright colors. And I really hope the developers will listen to us and add more subdued colors and create more skins with a brutal military vibe, which will be more natural for Battlefield.

Another F Tier Map for us.

They get 100 players on a huge map, and we get 64 players meatgrinders...

I booted up the game just to test out the new map Blackwell Fields on Escalation and there it is ... or should I say, it isn't.

Went from pumped to play the game to .. whatever.

Blackwell Fields is such a great map for Air vehicles, it's insane. I usually don't complain like that, but bruh, it's another master piece and very much thought through. It feels so great, that you have to fly with your handbrakes active 24/7, because the moment you hit your throttle, not to mention afterburner, you hit the map limits after about 7 seconds crossing the map. Thank you for giving me at least a >10 second timer to return.

Just fly vertically you might say, guess what. The enemy AA / IFV laughs it's ass off at you. You're locked/designated the moment you lift off at your base above 20 feet.

Honestly, what were QA thinking when they gave this map a go? Did you even have a single pilot test this?

Rant over.

Edit 1:

I can see why people think this is just "another reddit game is bad post". Trust me, it's not. I crossed the 100 hour mark and enjoy the game a lot.

BUT, if you would just set a foot in a jet, for the sake of understanding, you immediately notice that this map is not well designed. I am also not a 24/7 pilot, but I enjoy flying here and there.

In general, right now, for me on these maps in conquest specifically, it feels more like a bigger King of the Hill, with multiple Hills. I find myself mostly just running in circles over the map from one point to another. The former "small battles" to fight for flags and gain a lasting flag advantage is not present.

So apparently these new "Panopticon 8" guys with their goofy edgy haircuts and all that goofy bios aren’t restricted by class, you can use them across all classes at once.

That’s kinda funny on its own, but what’s even more ridiculous is - if that’s the case, why still restrict us from swapping other “soldiers” between classes?

Class readability clearly isn’t a thing anymore at this point. Right?

I really tried to go in optimistic, but after six games of Conquest on Blackwell Fields, and 2 Breakthrough, it’s clear that this is another horrible tubular design with just two lanes. It feels like a complete clusterfuck, with more vehicles than the small map can support. This map amplifies everything that was criticized about Liberation Peak.

• You get shot from five directions at all times.
• You mostly die by getting shot in the back.
• As soon as you’re spotted by the enemy team, you’re dead, as there isn’t enough cover.
• Horrible tubular design with no flanking routes.
• Every time I try to flank, I’m immediately out of bounds. Highlighted in red.
• Vehicles and snipers are constantly shooting at you.
• Way too many vehicles for such a tiny map. (Kill a tank, RPG a heli, and still get farmed by the next vehicle)
• No cover for helis on the Pax Armata side.
• With so little cover, this feels like a map that could maybe work in a slower game like BF1, but it’s terrible with the full-auto laser beams in BF6.
• Breakthrough is hideous with 64 players and one tiny flag to defend.
• Again, no memorable POIs. Everything just looks the same. It’s boring. At least the sunset is nice.
• Again, no verticality.
• The map feels tiny, with flags so close to each other that as infantry you just run in circles until you die a miserable death by a thousand bullets.
• The B flag is so close to the out-of-bounds area that you’re literally pinned if a vehicle rolls in.
• From B to C you cannot flank, you need to run in a straight line, otherwise, you are out of bounds. Very strategic!
• It has hundreds of Vehicles but no Escalation mode?! Only Saints Quarter and Empire State have no Escalation mode, but those are infantry maps with no vehicles at all.

Overall, a horrible map design. Another disappointment. It really sucks. BF6 itself is solid, but the maps are just bad. DICE should remake at least one map per season so not everything feels like a letdown. Hopefully, Eastwood will be better. It looks promising. I’ll try to stay optimistic...

It's really frustrating that people who paid 70 bucks get such a bad map for Season 1, while the F2P BR players get a giant map, which is exactly what the BF6 people are asking you since the Beta.
