Talk to anyone playing Battlefield 6 about what they’d like in the game right about now, and maps will certainly come up. Folks want more maps in Battlefield 6, but not just any will do\u2014they want large ones with open space, lots of capture points, and support for air vehicles.<\/p>\n

Too few of BF6’s launch maps<\/a> checked those boxes, and after months of vaguely saying it’s listening <\/em>to that feedback, DICE is finally saying it will also act <\/em>on that feedback.<\/p>\n

“We don’t want to spoil too much yet, but we’ve heard the message very clear,” DICE seasons producer Philipp Girette told PC Gamer on the subject of map feedback. “You’ve seen recently in Battlefield Labs that we started testing Golmud Railway, one of the older Battlefield maps. That is one of the responses [to that feedback] that we can give there, and the rest is for the future.”<\/p>\n

DICE has indicated that the Golmud Railway remake has been prioritized specifically to address map size in Battlefield 6\u2014the map won’t make the cut for Season 2, but its numerous test periods suggest the team wants it out as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Both Season 2 maps, Contaminated and Hagental Base, were already planned before launch, but DICE producer Kit Ekl\u00f6f says one actionable change made before Contaminated’s launch was its fly zones\u2014the area outside the map where air vehicles are allowed to fly. Playtests in BF Labs revealed they were too small, so DICE widened its fly zones for launch.<\/p>\n
