With BF6 going all-in on nostalgia for this prime Rush era, I&#8217;m looking forward to testing this mode out in the beta.<\/p>\n<p>For most players, though, I imagine the new map, Empire State, is the much more exciting addition to the beta, as it was one of the coolest parts of the reveal trailer. Annoyingly, Empire State is another of Battlefield 6&#8217;s small\/medium-sized maps, similar to Siege of Cairo and Iberian Offensive. It&#8217;s also infantry-only, which is sure to rub some the wrong way.<\/p>\n<p>DICE&#8217;s lead Battlefield producer, David Sirland, actually <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/battlefield-6-lead-producer-says-large-maps-exist-confirming-the-full-game-will-offer-bigger-battles-than-the-betas-cramped-chaotic-firefights\/\" target=\"_blank\">spoke on the topic<\/a>: &#8220;We picked these maps to make sure we hit the full-octane version of Battlefield on the head\u2014and made everyone see we can handle that too,&#8221; Sirland said. &#8220;Large maps exist, and the tempo scales accordingly, you&#8217;ll be able to see soon enough!&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wFGEMfyAQtI\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While the beta is a great opportunity to showcase faster, tighter gameplay than we&#8217;re used to, it&#8217;s also left many to think that it&#8217;s <em>all<\/em> that Battlefield 6 is concerned with\u2014and I don&#8217;t think Empire State&#8217;s Brooklyn brawls are going to help change that. As much as I enjoy this more frantic pace, it would be good to see how larger, more traditional Battlefield maps play in this iteration. I can&#8217;t help but think it&#8217;s a missed opportunity not to have thrown in one of the three large maps we&#8217;re promised for launch, like Kundara Valley or New Sobek City, or even the Operation Firestorm remake.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, we&#8217;ve still got new content to try out and fresh beta challenges to complete for exclusive rewards. Plus, if you haven&#8217;t finished all the challenges from the first weekend, you&#8217;ll have another chance, as you don&#8217;t want something like the Rising Star and Seeker skins or Striking Distance weapon packages to slip you by.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/battlefield-6-beta-weekend-2-date-time-content\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having dominated my weekend, I&#8217;ve already played well over ten hours of Battlefield 6 since the start of the open beta, so seeing access ripped away from me this week has been painful.
