Battlefield Redsec launched recently, and among the complaints about the battle royale game was that it has no olos playlist. One may be coming, however.
Design director Justin Wiebe told IGN, "I would say keep your ear to the ground on the future of solos." For now, however, Wiebe wanted to talk more about the reasons why Redsec has no solos playlist.
As for why Redsec doesn't have a solos playlist, Wiebe said the game was built as a "squad-based experience" and it's not as simple as you might think to add solos. "In my mind, that's not something you just turn on and just say, 'OK, solos,'" he said.
Wiebe added: "There needs to be enough thought put into it because we built a squad-based experience. At its foundation, the game was designed for squads to play together, with each of them having tactical abilities and options, and training paths that unlock new perks. A lot of those perks are very oriented towards helping the squad, not helping the individual."
"I we were just to throw that out and say, 'Well, now you can just play solos, and you're unlocking these abilities that don't even matter to you,' that feels like a fail."
If Redsec were to get a solos playlist, Wiebe said it would need to be done "in a way that makes sense for players, that actually takes the mechanics and makes them work for making solos play better."
For now, Redsec offers Duos or Squads playlists where people can play in groups of two or four. Redsec's Gauntlet mode, meanwhile, supports teams of four.
As for Battlefield 6, the multiplayer game continues to expand in Season 1 with the release of the California Resistance update on November 18. Among other things, it adds the new map Eastwood.
