One of the complaints about Battlefield 6 so far stemming from the open beta is that the maps are too small. Now, Battlefield Studios has explained the reasoning behind only offering smaller-size maps so far in the beta test and promising that, yes, bigger maps exist and are coming.
"Speed is a factor of map size. We picked these maps to make sure we hit the full-octane version of Battlefield on the head--and made everyone see we can handle that too," producer David Sirland said. "Large maps exist, and the tempo scales accordingly--you'll be able to see soon enough!"
Battlefield 2042, meanwhile, was criticized by some for having maps that were too big.
Battlefield 6 will have nine maps at launch, including a remake of the beloved Operation Firestorm map from Battlefield 3. The game will be supported after launch with even more maps as part of its live-service approach.
For Battlefield 6's second weekend of open beta, Battlefield Studios is adding a new map, Empire State, and the Rush and Squad Deathmatch modes, among other new things. The open beta is free and available to everyone on all platforms.
Battlefield Studios has said part of the reason why it's holding a beta test in the first place is to gather feedback to help make the game better at launch. In addition to feedback around map sizes, the developer is aware of "unexpectedly fast" time-to-kill reports and imperfect helicopter controls.
Battlefield 6 will hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on October 10.
