The Year Ahead for Battlefield 6 | 2026 Roadmap

This is about delivering on what you’ve asked for. More scale, more control, and more ways to compete.

[inland pike]

looks solid, hopefully with some more adjustments ingame it'll be good. excited to see naval combat return always felt it was missing esp when the campaign stuff was so good.

[vivid moth]

Pog? "Custom Lobbies" could this be a server browser precursor?

[stiff palm]

omg

[inland pike]

definately excited for platoons to return, they never should have left XD

[lunar mural]

prox chat goated

[iron hearth]

When's the Lyndon map coming

[stiff palm]

we are so back its not even funny

[lunar mural]

time to see people get banned for saying GG

[tropic glacier]

Finally what we have been waiting for

[stiff palm]

i could kiss all the mods on this team, thanks for listening :DDDD

[tropic glacier]

Thank you

[glad jewel]

Dude finally some good news for this game

[heavy spade]

https://klipy.com/gifs/its-happening-friday

[halcyon rock]

it literally says server browser's coming lol

[vivid moth]

Will we get a written list of more concrete additions coming or is this just intended to be a high-level

[white glen]

then we just need all the bugs etc.

[inland pike]

trying too lmao, but there's alot of promise in this roadmap i won't lie, the diversity to the game and maps will be really nice to have. platoons are a big w too

[stiff palm]

thanks, you guys are doing an amazing job <333 @iron lance

[vivid moth]

I'm selectively illiterate please excuse me digesting the information scattered about

[stiff palm]

please share our excitement with the team

[analog hawk]

Why are all the presenters hipster tech bros, aka people who dont actually play.
I want my greasy nerds

[dapper hearth]

This is cool

[timid quartz]

Hell yes this is exciting, I cannot wait to experience all of this

[swift bluff]

server browser is cool, that's the only thing that would make me come back to bf6

[vital edge]

SERVER BROWSER POG

[glad jewel]

I just hope DICE gets these things right. So far everything is has felt veeeery underwhelming

[prisma osprey]

Millions of whiners on the subreddit cried out in terror, and were suddebly silenced. I fear something wonderful has happened

[vagrant junco]

they cookin

[tall igloo]

prox chat bro!
it's gonna be so fun

[strong venture]

GOING TO TAKE 5 SEASONS

[polar yoke]

This is looking great

[glad jewel]

Yeah and lets blame EA for this

Cutting down on budget and staff for making live service content for BF6

[vital edge]

I'm not all the way through the video just yet but everything seems good. one thing I am a little concerned over however is the continuation of the 2 maps per season theme. not ideal imo but maybe it's just felt that way thanks to the maps so far? what is slightly more thought provoking is the fact that out of these 4 revealed maps, 3 of them are remakes of older maps. I suppose I don't mind it but I feel it does allow an interpretation of (maybe this is too strong a word) fear of making original maps due to the harsh backlash and feedback on the maps we've gotten so far

[strong venture]

most profitable game in the franchise. lets slow walk this

[polar yoke]

Please give jets customization and a working air radar

[strong venture]

please give me a plating animation that works in Redsec

[modest grotto]

Give us admin tools please
Autobalancer
Ping regulations
Bans
Custom server rules like having a game mode depending on population

[flat knot]

That's all great, but as a long time fan of the series, I still can't play latest installments since you blocked linux PCs with javelin and I don't want to play fps games on PS5 anymore. So I'm gonna pass I guess

[ocean matrix]

Naval combat coming out before you fixed and made any meaningful ground & air vehicle combat tuning & refinements is a lol, lmao even.

[ebon adder]

The trailer and roadmap sounds great! Hope everything will arive as mentioned! Now i need to hear enemy footsteps behind me!

[flat knot]

So bring Linux support back

[vital edge]

they're hinting that the concept art for season 5 does already kind of tell where you'll be fighting. it's definitely not an oil slick on the ground but rather a colorful reflection of lights on water. perhaps a city? perhaps siege of shanghai or dawnbreaker?

[strong venture]

it's about focusing and allocating resources to things that matter.

[autumn wren]

[strange fern]

Dommage de se réveiller quand la plupart des joueurs se sont barrés du jeu......à force de traîner et traîner dans l amélioration du jeu ils vont perdre tout le monde.

[iron lance]

#💬│discussion-générale svp.

[vital edge]

plus, if you look at the final overall info panel you'll notice that combat tuning is under ongoing qol improvements

ground/air is not a thing that just "comes", it's constantly changing and will have changed once or twice before naval warfare becomes a thing and will continue to do so afterward

[limber wraith]

So unless I missed it nothing on Server rentals for dedicated servers.

[vital edge]

I noticed though that season 3 is starting may and season 4 is starting july. so we're moving on from 3 month seasons to 2 month seasons, meaning we get a new map every month. a year or so from now we'll have 12 new maps, 24 after 2

[solar tide]

The TLDR of that video is "We are bringing BF6 up to par with previous battlefield games". Which of course I am very happy about, everything in that video sounds amazing, thank you for listening to your community!

But it really feels like this first 6+ months of BF6 has been an "Early Access" experience. Which is not ok when people have paid AAA prices for this product.
The fact that we had to tell you that a battlefield game should include big maps, naval warfare, server browser, etc, is disappointing... these have been the basic features of basically every bf game previously. But I'm glad it's all in the pipeline at least.

As a final note, please TEST PROPERLY. These exciting future updates will be hard to get excited for if each one comes with a horde of bugs and accidental changes.
And please stop making stealth changes to the game. Everything should be in the patch notes. Don't make us guess whether a change was intended or not because it wasn't mentioned anywhere before going live.

I'm excited to see how much BF6 can improve over then next year or so, thank you for putting this roadmap together :)

[vital edge]

or perhaps this is something they're testing now considering the next two seasons will be 75% remakes, perhaps making completely new maps is a lot more difficult than remaking old ones. so the price we pay for more maps is that it's a lot less original new ones and a lot more classics. I think the fact blackwell and sobek get reworks (perhaps later other maps as well?) supports this theory

[limber wraith]

"We are bringing BF6 up to par with previous battlefield games" I am confused, unless I missed something there are still nothing on dedicated server rentals for clans.

Something that was in Battlefield 1942-Battlefield 1

[solar tide]

Getting a server browser is step 1

[strange fern]

@iron lance sorry

[limber wraith]

windows 8.1 adding the start button fiasco

[solar tide]

haha yeah, very similar feeling

[vital edge]

I'd like to chime in on that, the big overall list of stuff did mention that custom lobbies will be a thing starting season 4 (july)

we already have portal so I'd like to think this will be the first step toward server rental stuff and community servers etc. hard to say rn but I don't think it's too outlandish to claim they did not forget about that aspect

[eager sapphire]

The roadmap is promising, but I really hope there will be significant changes to vehicle physics and their balance, as well as radar, which hasn't worked since first Labs test.

[limber wraith]

It's why I don't view it like that. They added the button but never changed the menu. It felt like a slap on the face.

I do however hope that I am incorrect and that they do add it.

[tulip finch]

FINALLY PLATOONS WILL BE BACK!!!

[analog bronze]

M16 CONFIRMED

[spiral wave]

OMG, PLATOONS AND SERVER BROWSER

Server browser with dedicated server rental would be the peak, because 60 Hz isn't enough anymore and we could rental servers with higher Hz for higher prices back in the day

[jagged heath]

looks great

[floral spear]

Peak male performance has evolved and 60hz is NO GOOD

[pseudo kiln]

I really hope that hit registration gets addressed. I can't imagine the elite series being done with the current state

[slate hill]

The remakes are welcome, but overrelying on classics (including the reimagined Grand Bazaar set in Egypt this time) is just not gonna sit well...

Ranked mode is honestly, personally not that big of a deal.

I look forward to the naval experience. Tsuru Reef?? So...a Japanese campaign where JSDF comes to join NATO??? (please) Also looks like BF6 Wake is based on BFV

I just the server browser is based on the classic though. SPECTATOR MODE YES!!!!!

Sigh, shame we have to wait a lot longer throughout this year, but I just hope they all materialize.

Okay reworking maps is really a bad taste since 2042. But I just have low hopes (but still hoping) that the New Sobek and Blackwell reworks mean actually larger experiences.

Best of luck, you still have a lot of trust to bring back. And please make Operations permanent, like combine Siege of Cairo and Cairo Bazaar and prolly make the narrative experience better with storytelling from the Handler (Redsec announcer).

[molten lily]

Hope we get skins like in the concept art 👀 🤞

[slate hill]

THIS

[urban spire]

As much as I like the stuff in the announcement, I am the most happy about the fact that we are getting this information in the first place

[visual cloud]

🤯

[whole geyser]

i dont get it.. why waste ressources on silly battleroyale, thats a dying breed

[slate hill]

True...also ranked play feels like a waste of resources as well. BF was never known for competitive play

[whole geyser]

Should just use the standard Battlefield format and not get out of their way and try things, they already have recipe for doing miracles.

They should focus on releasing legacy maps and then maybe a few new maps lol

[dusky star]

SERVER BROWSER, HELL YEAH

[visual cloud]

well thats what they did

[forest surge]

Anyone know when is battlefield labs for season 3 starting

[iron lance]

As Labs is under NDA, nobody would be able to share that info. 🙂

[forest surge]

What Channel would it be announced tho?

[iron lance]

It wouldn't be publicly announced.

[forest surge]

Aight

[iron lance]

Under NDA means that the content of the test is not to be disclosed to the public.

[dusky star]

same here

signed when it was announced, been playing bf since bf3 and nothing lol

[ornate stag]

I have a question for the 2026 roadmap will the features also be added to bf redsec?

[sharp onyx]

Are we back?

[wind kernel]

I assume its based on different variables maybe even like location bc there's different locations depending on country/region? Idk

Just gotta hope/wait and see,,,

[last abyss]

prox chat ❤️‍🩹

[oak drift]

Add the ability to party up with >4 people and then split into multiple squads in-game and this is shaping up to be somethin

[ember belfry]

How do we know we are still registered for Labs? I haven't gotten an invite to any of the sessions since before the beta

[forest surge]

Do we have anything new about the jets?

[nimble gull]

@iron lance I love you for the post anouncement ❤️

[ancient dome]

linux support when

[indigo gulch]

So seasons are basically lasting 2 not 3 months from now on?

[nimble gull]

Expect it by the end of 2084

(TPM on Linux doesnt exist)

[ancient dome]

TPM does exist on linux lol

[nimble gull]

I know I just like to clown on Linux for engagement baiting

[ancient dome]

I know where you sleep xD

[pallid yoke]

Can't your do Ping everyone on server's Discord

[nimble gull]

Oh god.

[ancient dome]

in a bed

[nimble gull]

[ancient dome]

[subtle hedge]

I can't believe I'm saying this... But I'm.. hopeful?

[void zephyr]

Good to see a roadmap of what to expect, we needed this. I'm excited for it all; server browser with persistent servers, spectator mode, naval warfare, I can't wait!

[iron lance]

Battlefield Labs is a closed testing environment. Not everybody who signs up will get in. So, it wouldn't make sense to announce it to the public Discord when many people wouldn't be able to participate.

[smoky reef]

Love the Video Format thing... Each season part should be Video of what to expect in next season or season part. Im not a big reader so, long patch notes with every small changes is not for me :d

Btw do we know anything about that small annoying DOT ?? will it be fixed in 2026 ?

[nimble gull]

most likely

[smoky reef]

i like clean look .. that Dot is driving me crazy every time im on a main screen or in a Loadout section ...

[lucid ruin]

what is custom lobbies

[nimble gull]

Server Browser

[wide iris]

really stoked for whats to come, good stuff indeed

[dusty marten]

Is there a text version of this announcement somewhere? 🙂

[low raven]

Amazing

[iron lance]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/seasons/battlefield-2026-roadmap

[dusty marten]

Oh perfect, ty!

[coarse mantle]

Siege of Shanghai Season 5 question mark

[dusty marten]

I was thinking the same with that teaser haha

[coarse mantle]

Yeah the way they're teasing it is something like we've played it before

And what other map has that kind of big city vibe?

[hushed rain]

This looks pretty good

[dusty marten]

A modern version of the skyscraper coming down would be amazing. When you were close to it when it collapsed, it always felt a little lackluster because it was just a big puff of smoke and then the terrain warped. Maybe with modern PCs it could look way more impressive 👀

[inland pike]

question if possible to answer, is there any plans/talks about changes to manhattan bridge? as it stands now with conquest/escalation if they can little bird onto the roofs around A and E objectives they can literally spawn camp and cover almost 3/4 of the map objective wise or pushing into said objectives from the sides while we have 0 actual way to counter them infantry wise unless you're somehow lucky to have a scout heli up that isn't spawn camped or being blown to all hell on B roofs as its the only one possible to even hit the sightlines. just curious if there's any plans to add ziplines or maybe some building changes with stairs up to counter this from happening. the other reworks are definately needed too and the work and listening is appreciated

[coarse mantle]

I didn't know they were remaking Grand Bazaar. It's a shame that most of the maps they're doing are remakes instead of making new stuff.

VERY excited for Tsuru Reef, that looks MASSIVE and very fun.

[iron lance]

The two maps mentioned have commitments right now and are being tested internally, with the timeframe of the roadmap, meaning they will, if everything goes right, get their reworks/adjustments this year. That doesn't mean we won't look at other maps as well, but it might take a little longer, depending on how long it takes to get the first reworks done, tested and validated.

[inland pike]

i appreciate the response, i figured i would ask as the video had said other things were in the works too but nothing specifc, hope you have a wonderful day 😛

[coarse mantle]

Regarding Tsuru Reef, is the entire island part of the playable area off aerial vehicles?

[iron lance]

We'll have more info on the map when we're getting closer to the release. Won't be able to go into more details now.

[coarse mantle]

Understood!

[waxen hearth]

Any mention of reviewing the amount of vehicles or spawn timer for vehicles on current maps? It always feels like im playing Battletanx instead of Battlefield

[orchid jolt]

Question, will server browser still be hosted by you guys or will it also be hosted by 3rd party

[hoary cape]

I have a feeling the Season 5 map is either Dawnbreaker, Siege of Shanghai (at night), or Hourglass

[iron lance]

Same answer. Once we have more details to go into, we'll share them. We know the topic is high priority for the community, so we want to make sure it lands right. Once we have more to share, we will.

[orchid jolt]

Ok, but please tell me it wont be affected by global game quota just like Portal.

[iron lance]

Can't get into these details yet, sorry.

[crystal robin]

Proximity Chat about to turn every match into a COD BO2 Lobby

Any update on when you're fixing the stretched resolution error?

[merry slate]

Battlefield 6 will be so back!

[heavy grotto]

WE ARE SOOOO BACK!!
BATTLEFIELD IT WAS ABOUT TIME!I knew that they reorganize after the loss of our beloved Zampella (RIP)😔

[kind iron]

We really watched a Titan fall that day

Sorry. I truly do hope he rests in peace.

[lavish folio]

Content looks good so far.. hopefully we can actually stay on the track of "big" maps this time, where utilising vehicles makes more sense

[errant solar]

If Battlebit taught me anything, I look forward to having a lot of fun with it

I'm gonna have so much trouble playing the game from laughing with the LARPers who are asking for a revive

[edgy bone]

I’m really hyped
Do yall agree

[wintry drum]

They’re saying all the right things

[errant solar]

Yeah I just hope they're gonna actually deliver or they will lose everything

[terse plinth]

Eerst zien, dan geloven

[frozen yew]

stop locking guns behind bp, keep going with the milsim skins, and PLEASE work with more community map makers and make community featured playlists more accessible, also add more unique guns(visual, gameplay wise)

[hoary cape]

I will be blasting All Star by Smash mouth just like I did in Battlebit dw👍

[still trench]

So happy to see the direction everything is finally going. Really lost some hope. But additionally to Sobek and Oilfield Manhattan Bridge also needs some rework like i already mentioned in the forum:

“Please do something about the rooftop camping on Manhattan Bridge.

This camping on the A and E site as well as on top of D is really killing the map flow.

You have no ability as an infantry without the Helicopter to counter this cause you can‘t get there with ropes or ladders. I don‘t even get why u can‘t get on top of D from the first floor in this building. Everything is blocked.

Make it possible to get there via ropes like on B or make it out of bounce for everyone. Otherwise this is going out of hand every round.

good map, stupid exploits.”

[pseudo aurora]

A fellow Battlebit enjoyer 🫡🫡

[bleak zealot]

They are saying all the good things now can they actually deliver im happy that naval warfare is back but idk if carrier assault is coming back

[bleak zealot]

Me too mate

[glad jewel]

What map do we think is the 3rd one they are teasing in the roadmap picture?

[hushed stag]

seems like china/tokyo with the lights

possibly siege of shangai or so

[bleak zealot]

OH YEAH BABY

[glad jewel]

Ye. I think I see Chinese characters in the lights reflecting

Not sure tho

Looks like the Vegas sign as well

[azure mountain]

Ping me when we have a release date for the server browser and Wake, then I'll actually buy this game.

[green canyon]

As long as they drop operations, we are back, because that was utter shit

[azure mountain]

Gotta make sure if I get one of those email surveys again I make it very clear that I only bought the game because they added server browser and persistent servers back

Yes

Because I'm a Battlefield fan and I want Battlefield to be Battlefield kid

Clearly it worked

[burnt compass]

Una pregunta no saben cuando van a meter el nuevo mapa de battlefield

[grave musk]

This looks really really good. I hope the execution of all of it goes just as good

[azure mountain]

Yep. That's why I'm not buying today, but will if it comes out and isn't a trashfire.

Thinking that voting with your wallet is cringe is the real cringe

[haughty siren]

Amazing work Battlefield I’d suggest only 2 things.

1. Added Carrier battles as an operation? don’t have them just sitting in the map as a spawn allow operations to take the ships down.

2. Season 5 map if we can have something like Shanghai Tower from Battlefield 5 I see you will bring a lot of happy faces to the game.

Other than that amazing work.

[azure mountain]

Whats the point in voting with your wallet if you aren't making it visible and clear why you are doing so?

[inner karma]

Amiens

[analog bronze]

How many weapons total

[frank vortex]

I like what I'm hearing so far keep it up

[simple shale]

Bf6 is back baby!!!!!

[errant nexus]

I hope proximity chat isn’t a REDSEC only feature. Having that depth of communication in BF6 multiplayer could make team play more engaging and rewarding!!

[proper timber]

I want it in regular modes purely because I think it could be funny

[tranquil marsh]

really?

[mortal canopy]

the medics finally hearing me yelling to revive me

had a match today in operations where at one moment i had 5 people within 5m but not reviving. i:(

[trail haven]

If you guys actually deliver proximity chat persistent server browser and all this shit you saved the game

[green surge]

This is an exciting roadmap! And I'm ready for more larger maps! Let's go!

[gaunt smelt]

Will we ever get a new redsec map

[somber pecan]

W roadmap

[shut talon]

Is ranked going to be closed weapons?

[shrewd slate]

brilliant brilliant brilliant! sounding 👍 👌!

[misty cargo]

I don't know if they want a separate playlist for ranked, maybe do what delta force does and you can participate in ranked if you want, but play in the normal servers

[shut talon]

That would be too bad. I was hoping ranked would be a competitive mode with mics and communication haha

[brisk lynx]

Thank you for listening to the community and adding a lot of what we’ve been asking for!

[gritty arrow]

Roadmap looks insane cant wait

[spiral wave]

I hope the “soldier visibility” QoL is something related to 3d spotting

[brisk lynx]

I would love it if it is!

[gritty arrow]

Yes it is

[wind kernel]

Is ranked in redsec just solos or is it going to be duos/quads too?

[gritty arrow]

It would be quads first

Maybe then duos/solos

Only assumptions

[rain torrent]

Yes

[hollow marsh]

Redsec 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 players???

[vernal agate]

An entire channel for roadmap?

[gritty wigeon]

They need to show, not tell. PUBG sized maps, for example, would actually work with vehicles and moving frontlines.

[wide hound]

Just came here to say I couldn't be more happy with server browser/persistent servers comming back. HUGE W. Of course, this feature should've have been released alongside the game since we were asking for this since BF 2042, but, well, better later than never. 😉

Also -> bring Gulf of Oman back someday, my favorite map across all Battlefield games so far

[proud laurel]

And then GravityBFTV makes another Video about the map

[wide hound]

I dont even know who that is, but I used to play on some 24/7 gulf of oman servers back in BF3 era 😛

[brisk lynx]

Gulf of Oman was lit 🔥

[lucid thicket]

Ranked is a redsec thing

[brisk lynx]

I think they mentioned bringing ranked to multiplayer too. Or did I hear that wrong?

[wind kernel]

I don't think so, maybe it was the leaderboard stuff?

[civic urchin]

Roadmap looks amazing only thing I could ask for is more maps which hopefully they continue to deliver after s5

[lucid thicket]

I truly do not understand how or why people expected more than 2 per season

[civic urchin]

Because in bf3/4 we got like 4 per dlc

[lucid thicket]

so did the last 10 years of maps releasing more slowly simply slip out of everyone's mind?

[brisk lynx]

I just rewatched the video and yeah they mention something about expanding ranked play into multiplayer at around 2:26

[wind kernel]

Oh damn, ignore me then lol! That'll be interesting

[brisk lynx]

I wonder how ranked multiplayer will work. Definitely interesting 🤔

[pliant star]

I think it’s only for redsec

[civic urchin]

Well they did say they’re taking inspiration from bf3/4

[lucid thicket]

bruh

[pliant star]

Pay 15 euro per dlc pack with limited lobbies or wait 2 months for one free map that everyone can play

[civic urchin]

They also said that post launch we will be getting more content than ever

[lucid thicket]

with limited lobbies
Why do people keep peddling this meme? I was on BF4 dlc maps yesterday, its a 12 year old game. The limited lobbies was never an issue.

[lucid thicket]

bruh

[civic urchin]

Either way Im excited from this roadmap it’s looking great and I hope they deliver

[pliant star]

It’s more so an issue after the game dies down

Ofc anyone playing the game currently is gonna buy the dlc pack

[lucid thicket]

BF4 is 12 years old. It died down a decade ago. This is a made up issue.

[pliant star]

died down a decade ago
So what like 4 years after launch?

It’s not a made up issue

[lucid thicket]

?????????????

You can play BF4 dlc maps right now

They never actually died like people claim. Same with BF1.

[pliant star]

yeah like the one or two servers

[lucid thicket]

Most servers actually

Theres a lot more "all maps" servers than base game ones.

The only maps you truly cant find are the ones nobody wants to play. But pearl market, caspian border, guilin peaks, operation mortar, etc are pretty common. Propaganda is especially common.

Made. Up. Issue.

[stoic elk]

#MakeMortarsGreatAgain and bring back Strike at Karkand

If you will look on the picture of season 5 you will see a reflection on the floor. I assume it os either a flame or a tower.

[lucid thicket]

https://vegasfoodandfun.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/welcome-to-fabulous-las-vegas-sign-at-night.jpg

A lot of the colors line up here, and you can even see bits of the nearby fence reflected in the water.

[olive idol]

Does anyone know how to be apart of the test for the new maps?

[snow nova]

We’re back

[snow nova]

Sign up for BF labs

[north forge]

this looks extremely promising but I can't help but be cautious about it

i hope the glaive getting its due buff is one of the upcoming changes, it's drowning in the water face down

[unique kestrel]

Based on the roadmap, Seasons 3, 4, and 5 look like they're on the right track! One final suggestion to round it out: please remove the unrestricted arsenal and implement weapon restrictions for all game modes, returning to a strict Class-based weapon system.

[boreal vault]

Do you think there is any way we could get multiple custom weapon slots for the same gun, so we can make a close range vs long range or just have the ability to make multiple builds of the same weapon

[dusty marten]

We kind of have that with weapon packages

[raven crystal]

Interesting stuff! But I've been trying to be in BF Labs for months now, and I have it all connected, but I never see any playtests show up except for Apex Legends or the Sims. Is it in-person often?

[mighty quail]

DICE PLEASE, why are u artificialy delaying the Solo Mode?
Do you guys actually think that holding it back til S3 makes it look like u deliver more content?
What a joke 🙁

[humble dirge]

only emotes chat

🫡

[glacial haven]

Why is this not a read only channel?

[snow nova]

This channel is for ppl to chat about the 2026 roadmap

[humble dirge]

😂

[glacial haven]

How this isn’t banned yet? sends report

[remote wolf]

is labs going on right now?

90gb is kinda wack to find out

[glacial haven]

“Chat” = complain.

[limber ermine]

So uuuummmm any helldivers

[tulip pelican]

Prox chat is amazing because maybe game chat will finally be revived

[distant python]

Damn still no return of Defuse 😭

Strikpoint is not it. Defuse was where it was at in bf4 days

[autumn scarab]

YES

[autumn scarab]

yoyo

[limber ermine]

HELL YEAH

[crude crystal]

Is the proximity chat coming for regular multiplayer?

[mystic crypt]

I signed up for BF Labs and participated in Alpha. I havet received any invites since launch. Is anyone in the same boat? I want to partake in all this amazing stuff for 2026 roadmap 😭

[cloud mango]

add a clear all button plz

[gaunt smelt]

Give us a NEW REDSEC MAP!!!

[astral maple]

Wonder what these haters will have for excuse when we actually got navy maps

[celest garden]

Or at least change some of the POIs...

[silver silo]

Pls bring navy battleships

And more navy seal skins from different countries or factions 🙂

[brisk lynx]

I like what they did with the Strix Raiders pack featuring real veterans like Prime Hall. I hope they do more stuff like that

[red oak]

this roadmap tickled me

[red oak]

Netcode and balance

[red oak]

think its gonna be for ranked play

[red oak]

so we can give feedback

[turbid tundra]

Only for redsec but I hope they add it for multiplayer too

[astral maple]

Ofc forgot

[glacial haven]

Everyone gives feedback and complains in the other channels. Should be a place to easily see the roadmap without scrolling through thousands of useless complaints 😂

[shell shard]

Does anyone else get the feeling like they made all those people in the roadmap video read ChatGPT output at gunpoint?

It was so obviously AI-written it made me feel sick

The roadmap itself is fire, though, if it all comes to fruition, especially the persistent servers part. This should have been in the game from day 1.

[harsh blade]

Feedback is feedback bad or good 😂 don't focus on it

[harsh blade]

It's always been like that even before ai was a thing

[glacial haven]

I see they pinned the roadmap so I can find it without scrolling through all the chat 👍

[harsh blade]

If you click on the # 2026 roadmap at the top it's also there

[shut zephyr]

finally Solos coming in season 3!

[steel crown]

Do you think they’ll bring back the Squad Requisition Points system so squad leaders can call in JB-1s and sector artillery like in BFV?

[ebon adder]

I'm just here to see if I dreamt about the roadmap yesterday or if it's real. No, it wasn't a dream. Thank you for the good work and for listening to us fans (even if there are still a few things that need fixing cough audio) 🫡 😘

[mortal canopy]

great, been forced to grief my duo so i could play duos as a solo

[shut zephyr]

Got my first duo win other day but ive always prefer solos

[eager sapphire]

yeah and marines skins

[silver silo]

Yes indeed they should always stick with that theme or make different variants on their own without being too flashy

[slate hill]

yep - hopefully other nations also join in with this style...

[edgy bone]

True

They’ll probably go back to ”why so few maps DICE”

[crude crystal]

Can anyone confirm that proximity chat is coming to regular multiplayer?

[sweet cargo]

Something I’d LOVE to see at some point in the roadmap is a Toronto map. Remember the concept art drop reveal before launch? One of them had coordinates in it and someone input them into a map and it dropped a pin on our city hall here in Toronto. Top on CN Tower capture point, then jump and parachute to somewhere else in the map. Or just go up to jump somewhere without an objective. 🔥🔥

[rose lodge]

ROAD MAP

[grizzled cradle]

hope we get more details on the server browser/an ETA on it soon :)

[wide hound]

I Wish I could configure soldiers and weapons skins for each map... it sucks to have to change pre-match everytime, game would feel more immersive and this would make them sell more skins , so everybody wins

[primal terrace]

Would love to see more powers for portal servers
Along with the spectate, being able to Whitelist, add moderators with the power to kick/switch map/reboot server would help improve the health of portal servers

[wide hound]

Or maybe more layouts but with the skins attached to it as well, not only the gear itself... like I could have one layuout for desert, one for urban and so on...

[fresh wolf]

Guys we need game modes to with all these maps that’s the 1 thing they didn’t talk about

???

[wide hound]

I only play conquest, only mode I like and also the new "operations" now, which I like the concept (juust need a few improvements)

[primal terrace]

Likelihood going forward is more operations. Cairo pairs well with Bazaar etc

The only handicap for pairing maps realistically is their writing team fitting it into the in-game lore tbh

[wide hound]

One variant of conquest I would like to see again is conquest assault that I used to play on Strike at Karkand map

[fresh wolf]

Operations is a one way road if your team starts losing there is no way back up

Gets boring fast

[primal terrace]

I can see how it can get like that, I’ve found when I get a communicating squad it changes battle tide though. The vc changes coming up map improve that

[fresh wolf]

We need fun game modes like night fall

Night fall I mean

[primal terrace]

I regularly play a hardcore server, we’re testing the portal addition for night vision tonight

[primal terrace]

If that’s what you meant

[wide hound]

with server browser feature and dedicated servers, maybe they will allow some people to create playlists with variants of the maps they already released, like the night map and the snow map

[fresh wolf]

are you like a dev or sum

[primal terrace]

No, just regularly play with a portal community. We’re doing it ourselves

[fresh wolf]

Oh

[wide hound]

I would like to see more maps with night variant too, I like it

[primal terrace]

We’re testing it for Bt

[spare roost]

CARRIER ASSAULT

[primal terrace]

Theoretically that’s supposed to be how the portal update works

[spare roost]

I WANT CARRIER ASSAULT

[wide hound]

for some reason portal is not being used very frequently . it has so many possibilities... for it to work properly, it should have some way to vote for community created maps and then make those maps appear on the regular server browsers/playlists/etc as offical experiences ....

[primal terrace]

Entirely agree, I originally wanted to get involved in map creation but decided it not worth the effort in the current iteration. I hope they streamline the process to awarding exp on good maps and allow portal mode creators to add community creations into verified exp gamemodes alongside existing ‘vanilla’ maps

[azure mountain]

I hope that I can set my server to only allow PS+XB players or controller only or something.

[meager rune]

That would be nice

[grim crow]

So we are keeping ranked comp just to Redsec right? Cause unless I'm blind not a single core player wants it in the base multiplayer with the exception of the streamers who only play ranked games who have been complaining about every core battlefield mechanic and identity since day one lol

[lunar bronze]

Message to BF Studios, I can tell you with yesterday's announcement, I offer my contribution by buying the Pro pass every season, I promise.

[shut zephyr]

What date is season 3 dropping in May?

[slow glen]

Any battlefield labs member here? Can you add a suggestion to add weapon and character camos tied to specific maps, e,g, auto set a desert camo on a desert map.

[lunar bronze]

@shut zephyr should be may 12th

[astral maple]

I'll not be satisfied until I get to play strike at karkand in bf6

[trail haven]

Not satisfied until we get Caspian border

[eager sinew]

Game is trash

[silent wave]

WHAT?!?!

NAH

[rocky grotto]

Your hands too

[lyric vapor]

Unsatisfied losers

[stiff valve]

Boat update gonna be awesome

[warped swift]

Or maybe u dont have skill for the game

I just got 10 kills 50 deaths in operation augar

Sure as hell aint gn blame the game for it

[snow nova]

As long as u had fun, that’s what matters

[snow nova]

I’m also hyped for naval warfare but the transport boats are already in redsec

[grizzled cradle]

they should bring back the community map program in the future, where we can vote for the map we want to see

[lunar bronze]

Has anyone confirmed the location of S5 new map?

[edgy bone]

Looks like the Welcome to Las Vegas sign at night I’ve heard

Which suggests Vegas

At Night

[lunar bronze]

I have found something interesting from my personal research! Little Tokyo in LA! Definitely in LA, though. What do you think?

[lunar bronze]

?

[harsh blade]

Don't click on the link in his bio

[lunar bronze]

@harsh blade Lol I wasn't going to... thanks though.

[lunar bronze]

those cylindrical towers with exterior elevators of the westin bonaventure hotel just next to little tokyo and the surroundings, combined to the japanese village, and so much stuff in this area would make a wonderful map. Can't wait for season 5 already!

[rugged latch]

Naval warfare looks fire 🔥

[alpine jetty]

Wait what, where, when?

[arctic oyster]

Kinda nervous that S3 won't be long enough. Only 2 months, or 8 weeks? I just finished week 9 challenges (100% so far btw) and I'm only 93/110 on the battle pass.

[subtle hedge]

May not be out of 110

[lunar bronze]

@alpine jetty Check on official battlefield youtube channel for the latest video. 2026 roadmap. You'll be amazed!

Also, chat working again for me!

[pseudo kiln]

I'm actually glad that will only be 2 months

[arctic oyster]

From a content drip pace standpoint, I agree of course. But for finishing the BP, not so sure.

[marble seal]

where are you

final stretch or prestige? this season gives you ample time to get the BP done

[arctic oyster]

93 or 94/110 now I believe. This season will be plenty, but an 8 week season I don't think will be.

[marble seal]

Im basically done with 3 or 4 weeks to spare

[marble seal]

yeah but what what part of the BP are you in

[arctic oyster]

I'm talking about next season which will apparently be several weeks shorter.

[marble seal]

Well as long as its not more than 2 weeks shorter there shouldnt be much to worry about

[eager badger]

Please hear me out devs love the game just need 128 players please

[frail thicket]

Hell no, next.

[eager badger]

😂😂

[ebon adder]

Something else....I hope you'll make the Twitch beta drops (Landslide skin, Mimic weapon, etc.) and the versatile skin available to everyone, since you said Twitch didn't transmit all the data and many never received them. The same goes for the 5.11 engineer skin, which not everyone can get either (you can't order in every country, and I hope that such collaborations won't happen in the future again). And it would be cool if you could buy weapon and soldier skins individually in the future instead of in these expensive packages with pictures and stickers etc.

[steel star]

Did I understand correctly that there are no new (non-legacy) maps planned until Season 4?

[harsh blade]

Yes

[steel star]

That's a shame. I was hoping they wouldn't continue the trend of rehashing old maps.

[rocky grotto]

Several vets who cry for old ones

[plush roost]

"Cry"... what a hallow response. The current map builds are incredibly lopsided. The "vets" of the game want balance restored.

[stiff valve]

"balance restored" ... what a hallow response. The current map builds are fun to play. The "playerbase" of the games want more.

[plush roost]

You speak for everyone?

[rocky grotto]

Just an example: Cairo >>> Golmud, they want to play maps which they played for 15 years, this is bf community...

[plush roost]

I provided context Joe. Maybe add something to the conversation instead of instigating.

Good response Joe. Still not adding anything to the conversation. You want a hive mind. Instead of having a dialog about what's good and bad. You vilify the players that want to have good balanced games instead of the mess we have now.

[plush roost]

That's a matter of opinion. I think Cairo still favors one side over the other. Where Golmud is nearly 50-50. New map doesn't mean good game. I can't think of a single map that is as balanced.

[hot cloud]

96 players would be better, more reasonable

[rocky grotto]

15 years old maps don't mean good game, it's the same

[plush roost]

It doesn’t even matter about new or not. Older maps focused on balance. Newer maps do not. Look at firestorm. They changed it from the old map to a worse version. In conquest, breakpoint, rush, every mode it’s imbalanced.

The aim for requesting older maps is to leave them untouched and port them over because it’s closer to what is has separated BF from other shooters.

There are reasons maps like Golmud are still played today.

[rain wharf]

Three things I would like to see added to the future updates of BF6.

First: In game, when in inspect mode, it would be very cool if the animations stayed put while firing the weapon instead of jumping to the center screen crosshair. I would like to watch the weapon fire into the air from the side animation left or right side without the animation cutting to the center of the screen; This while holding the inspection key. Of course, if there was a threat nearby, then letting go of the inspection key would allow the animation to snap to the center to fight a real threat in game.

Second: Give us a server recently played history for our own sanity. I played a server yesterday, and I cannot find it no matter what I try. It should be so easy.

Third: Swimming under water. It is already here as I discovered in the Map Marina. Thank you very much. I ask, in place of this request, to add back Hardware XP into the moderate XP given in custom portal experiences. Reason is, we PVE type players who really are just private server creators playing against multiplayer bots would love to unlock all the hardware attachments in game. I still cannot unlock the DP shotgun. Many sniper rifles will never have large scopes unlocked unless you give, Coop, private server players this ability to unlock the games potential.

Thank you for the continued work to make this Battlefield one for the ages and PVE lovers.

[jagged jay]

[rocky grotto]

Is golmud balanced man? In Golmud players with little bird will farm easy kills on infantry

[plush roost]

I feel like thats a get good situation. Both teams have little birds. Both teams have AA that actually works. Both teams can get C for the second little bird.

[shell shard]

Or just communicate with your team? All you have to do is type "can we get some anti-air on that littlebird" in chat and suddenly the pilot's life becomes hell

[quasi lance]

@frail thicket

[steel star]

I'm of the mind that a new BF game should have new BF maps. I understand that updating legacy maps isn't a simple task, but there's always a part of me that thinks "If I wanted to replay this map, I'd reinstall that game."

I worry that this game is eroding it's identity versus past entries by leaning too heavily on legacy maps - which is a pitfall 2042 fell into, imo.

[rocky grotto]

Agree

[harsh blade]

Too many nostalgia players

[steel star]

What I don't get is who those players are. I mean... I've been playing BF since 2002(ish) - arguably I should be the target of any nostalgia or legacy content.

But honestly, I don't want it. A couple maps are fine. Maybe a few older weapons (where my m16 at). But not entire seasons centered around it.

[inland peak]

Until you realise the legacy maps were fairly well balanced

Id rather have what I know than don't, in terms of maps

Then again I could play tf2 2fort only for days so perhaps

[steel star]

I don't disagree, entirely. But I'd question the sustainability of the practice if we're leaning on existing archetypes, instead of developing new ones. It feels like creative stagnation.

[inland peak]

Im use to wanting the same maps over and over

[inland peak]

But they have developed new maps for this game

Theres no additional harm adding the old ones ontop

Did it in 4.. btw

[steel star]

They have, but the new season throws off the balance of new vs. legacy. (imo)

Even BF4 only had 1 dlc out of 5 that reissued legacy maps.

[stiff valve]

💀

Ok swap that to Upward and I'd agree lol

[inland peak]

Im not entirely sure what you mean by that. What does seasons do for maps?

[steel star]

Season 3 is adding only legacy maps.

[inland peak]

Ok but

[steel star]

Though it sounds like season 4 might have some novel maps, hopefully.

[inland peak]

Have they added original maps? If so whats the harm

[pseudo kiln]

Can we have an option to disable auto mantle over obstacles when aiming down sights? Can't count how many fights I've lost cuz of that

[inland peak]

Its not going to loose its identity

Its battlefield at its core, different as it is

[steel star]

Again, for me, it's an issue of balance and perception. After 10+ years, I personally want to see new maps - not reissues of the same maps I've played for several years.

[inland peak]

But the old maps are probably

[steel star]

I don't expect everyone to agree, but that's my feeling.

[inland peak]

4 bar a couple are probably some of the most balanced

Do you mean in variety? Or gameplay?

[steel star]

Variety is probably the closest - but really this is more of a principle.

[inland peak]

I see

Well what ill say is, the legacy maps are getting new features

So you could argue they're new to some extent

Like the train on golmud isnt just 1 train

Its several with cover on them

[vital edge]

I've been thinking about it lately. you see it a bunch on reddit these days, people posting their own nato and pax, their own 'unit' so to speak. I'd love a feature where you could kind of merge that individualism and the more 'universal' vibe you got from bf3 or 4. if you could have your own skins for both sides apply to every other player in a match. of course client side only.

now of course this is mostly just a feature for vanity and personal preference but I think there is an actual merit for gameplay for a feature like this too. some have made the argument over the course of these past 6 months, maybe longer than that, that simply having a different accessory at any given soldier's back is not an ideal or clear enough indication of what class that soldier is. even more so as we move toward the future where evidently, future units will have no restriction and an engineer for the next new nato unit might actually be a recon instead. this kind of feature would also help mitigate this issue (full disclosure: I don't personally have this issue so I don't bring this up out of bias) by letting people enjoy the skins they want and still be able to, at a glance, recognize easily if that soldier is a support or engineer.

what a yapathon that was lmao, just wanted to bring it up since I haven't seen this said anywhere yet myself. it's something I would personally like to see going into the future.

[shrewd slate]

remake of grand bazaar is a dream come true.

next op underground/metro?

[subtle hound]

I don't remember if there was a specific date for it's release

[junior anvil]

we have hagental base

[calm mulch]

To be fair, metro still got added to BF4 in the second assault dlc even though locker was already in the game. I wouldn’t put in pass me for that to happen sometime in the future lmao

[junior anvil]

true but we already have an infantry only map on launch, empire state

id rather operation underground come back storming the building at the end was awesome

[shrewd slate]

good point. but metro/op. underground was another level of cqc.

[shrewd slate]

one hundred percent.
the whole map was a peach and that end was the cherry. perfect.

[silver silo]

I feel like Reddit has gone too far already Hahahh

I left that bf6 community after season 1

It’s just overwhelming

[sour raptor]

gun holding animation when mount laser or flashlight the girp stance looks so weird ,any change to that ?

[shell shard]

Having BF3 CQ maps back would be awesome

So much time spent there playing Gun Master

Actually, an official Gun Master mode would just make me forfeit my job, my friends, my hopes and dreams, I'll just be stuck all day every day playing Gun Master

[gray wind]

Submarines and Destroyers to sink Aircraft Carriers. That would be great

[vital edge]

yeah that's an entirely different beast lol

tho I imagine it would please them as well, not having to ever actually interact with skins they hate

[zealous surge]

Pro-Tip for RedSec: Expand the current map (North/East/Coastline with Islands/Aircraft Carrier, Warships) and add POIs instead of replacing it. Total map swaps are risky and have always fragmented the Playerbase in games like PUBG, Apex, and Warzone.

[lusty gate]

CQ maps are the last thing BF6 needs lmao

[shell shard]

It could use actually good cq maps :D

[red oak]

indeed we have enough of those

[quiet briar]

hello everyone

[willow current]

Highway Tampa, Zatar Wetlands, and/or Alborz Mountains would be nice

[cedar crescent]

2024

[midnight zealot]

Imagine Maps like FuShe Pas or Cubra Dam... That would be awesome 🙂

[harsh blade]

Nobody knows these maps 😂

[shell shard]

The young people don't know these maps :D

I'm going to venture a guess that a lot of people in this server were born after those maps were released

[harsh blade]

That's true

[vital edge]

zatar wetlands would be amazing honestly.

since reworking maps is on the table, I honestly would be hugely amiss if I didn't bring up eastwood in that context. people sure praised the map but as time goes on it seems more and more evident that the praise was out of naught but desperation. this map is not good. the way it's structured gives an absurd advantage to the pax side right now making it borderline impossible to win as nato.

[shrewd slate]

the great honey crisis in 1983 was also a true shock to the system.

[rose lodge]

🙏🏽

[quaint jasper]

Anyone know when the new labs will get to consoles?

[umbral ledge]

Is it possible that the server browser is coming next season?

[harsh blade]

No

[iron pendant]

when the ender secret room (ender solar pannels) is end ?

[red oak]

the what now ?

[pseudo kiln]

you mean the new poi under solar pannels in redsec?

[harsh blade]

The bunker is there to stay no?

[pseudo kiln]

i think so

[snow nova]

Unknown

So far it’s TBD

According to ganslinger

[distant python]

Can we plz bring back defuse plzz

[solar shadow]

hopefully by Se4, but it wont be in 3

[harsh blade]

As time limited

Also strikepoint is the same

[distant python]

It's a time limited when

[distant python]

Ehhh strike point is definitely not the same as defuse nowhere close

[azure mountain]

I hope the custom servers let us lock classes

[grizzled cradle]

What I think they're going to do with community servers in the browser is move current Portal Verified experiences (60hz, full xp) into community servers in the browser, and the Portal browser will be a separate thing only for custom experiences with custom logic/portal SDK edits.

at least that's what makes the most sense to me

Should still be able to lock classes, do HC rules, make gamemode tweaks and stuff with that system and still get full XP/60hz.

[grizzled cradle]

I also would really like for them to add the ability for community servers to get matchmaking players who click on a certain playlist. That would help smaller community servers fill up and encourage the community aspect of the game

[grizzled cradle]

thank you for the transparency and communication!!

can't wait to hear about s3 and beyond

[peak flare]

Perfect

[rose lodge]

Hi

[native talon]

@daring locust communication is better than before, we need that🔥

[surreal nacelle]

What about Air-Vehicles? The Jets and Choppers Need much of work as well. The Balance for the vehicles is Bad at the moment

[iron lance]

We'll also have more information on other topics. These answers were selected based on the volume of conversation we saw after the roadmap. While I don't have any exact timing for air vehicles, or for example, more BR content, we will work on more coms for other topics as well.

[shrewd slate]

@iron lance superlative road map! eagerly looking forward. esp. the bazaar remake + server browsers.

many heartfelt thanks.

[green wing]

Keep operations and make Cairo an operation at the start of s3!!

[surreal nacelle]

Thanx@iron lance i am really on Fire again After u guys lauched the roadmap.

[tawdry fossil]

This^

[polar creek]

the updates look hype but they've been fuckin things up pretty harshly so far so I don't want to get too excited...

[queen forge]

Fix the matchmaking issues first. If I’m in a party it should bring us all in. No other game I play has this issue. Basic stuff guys

Come on the games been out for what 7 months. What are we doing

[native talon]

Also would be good more information on #redsec-info

[peak flare]

Us marines subfaction when🥹

[wind kernel]

Haven't we had those with the Strix Raiders or is this something different?

[peak flare]

US MARINES

not the marine raiders

[wind kernel]

Ohhh right mb

[brisk lynx]

Great roadmap and great communication! Really looking forward to Naval Warfare!

[soft trail]

The naval warfare has me hyped. Carrier assault coming back would be awesome. Loved that so much in bf4 expansion

[tired venture]

Might just be me but for season 4 if off the chance we get marines subfaction but also seals as a subfaction or something, I would like to see the 416D as a 5.56 version of the m417a2 but also as a counter/alternate of the m4a1. So it could have the same reload speed of the m4a1 but it also has a slightly higher fire rate than rifles that feel sluggish so it competes in a close to mid range

[grizzled cradle]

subfactions would be pretty cool

[inland pike]

i was literally talking about this with my squad last night, miss carrier assault haha

[zealous surge]

Please take notes for RedSec:
Expand the current map (North/East/Coastline with Islands/Aircraft Carrier, Warships) and add POIs instead of replacing it. Total map swaps are risky and have always fragmented the Playerbase in games like PUBG, Apex, and Warzone.

And TTK low -> High recoil, TTK high - low recoil. Fixed, no need to play with RPM. Generally we need more recoil across the board.

[sweet cargo]

Is anyone else noticing the rpg going higher than where you aimed lately?

[lucid thicket]

the rpg is zeroed to 100m

[ancient dome]

Linux support when?

[umbral ledge]

Linux wtf

Which bf support Linux?

[native talon]

what is linux lol

[red oak]

never

[red oak]

a complicated OS

[shell shard]

Really not that complicated

[harsh blade]

I don't think you can explain Linux os to casual pc laptop users

[wide iris]

isnt there versions of linux that are almost as straightforward as windows. think it was mint?

i know people who cant play because they need to run linux, they got windows installed as dualboot aswell but the security system doesnt allow that

[ebon hearth]

linux mint sucks

[smoky vine]

They say Linux is simple now. But as a power user I always end up spending waaaaaay too much time in the console entering random commands from strangers on the Internet to get things to work like I believe they should .
And Linux Mint is great for a lot of users.

As for Linux support for BF6, that would be great tbh. But getting the investment back from implementing the anti cheat, is probably a tough ask.

[shell shard]

Oh I'm dualbooting Linux and Windows

It's easy, just refer to the Arch wiki entry on sbctl on Linux, the utility can generate and enrol all the secure boot keys, including the Windows ones, in one swoop

(for clarity, the sbctl method applies to most linux distros, it's just that the Arch wiki has the best instructions)

[dusty marten]

starting a sentence like that with "it's easy" is diabolical

[shell shard]

Compared to my expectations, as a Linux user, of how hard that was going to be, it ended up being blindingly simple

The only mildly complicated step of the process is knowing the folder where the Linux boot entry resides

[fringe meadow]

I hope we get more machine guns soon

Though, we did just get this new one, so I might be waiting a while

How cool would it be if they brought back the Heavy guns concept from BFV?

If they ever gave us a .50 cal I could see it being implemented that way

[jagged mist]

More people would camp it would get far worse than it is already

Lets worry about key fundamentals that should be added, better visibility, better footsteps audio and decrease the velocity on most guns as it is honestly too much on most guns in the game

Like why can fully automatic guns have more than 1000 velocity

Thats just too much, because of that you can laser beam people across the map

[rapid raptor]

Hello, will the platoon setup and management system be the same as in the previous Battlefield series?

[rose lodge]

That’s the plan

[rapid raptor]

any source?

[red oak]

probably not its a different game but i do hope platoons will have some sort of progression system

[rapid raptor]

i doubt, a lot of works

[harsh blade]

Yes that's what's expected i hope

[shut zephyr]

What date is S3 dropping in May?

[native talon]

2 WEEK MAYBE

[wind kernel]

Likely 12th of May

[shut zephyr]

Alright, finally solos is gonna drop in may

[loud crystal]

Personally I didn't like that you couldn't ads unless you deployed it

[fringe meadow]

I personally don’t see very many campers

Outside of Sobek City, of course

[fringe meadow]

I was a little shocked when I found that out too, I thought that capability would be exclusive to the L85

[fringe meadow]

Well, It's a tradeoff right? You gain immense firepower in exchange for reduced mobility

Though, i do agree they should focus on more important things rn

[loud crystal]

I'd accept higher recoil to be able to ads

[spiral wave]

I've played BF4 yesterday and this game made me remember that tap firing is essential from mid distance with an ACW-R, while I don't need to think about it while playing BF6 with any weapon

[fringe meadow]

I would argue that tap firing is important in 6 too

[inland pike]

Conquest is getting really bad for it ngl. Iberian has turned into spawn mortars central, Manhattan 9 times out of 10 is heli dropped campers on A and E obj roofs because there's 0 counter to them for the most part, firestorm will forever be mountain and fire tower camping just to name a few

[fringe meadow]

but, what do I know I only play with machine guns

[fringe meadow]

Mortar spam is getting pretty bad, I will admit

[inland pike]

It's awful, it's ruined breakthrough and conquest both recently

[fringe meadow]

Didn’t they have it before where you couldn’t set up mortars in your HQ?

What happened to that?

[inland pike]

They did but semi recently allowed them too, not sure why in all honesty. The added 60 second cooldown they added ontop of the 30 the supply bag for them already had hasn't done anything

[fringe meadow]

Damn, I knew they buffed the fire rate but why make them deployable in HQ too?? That’s just a recipe for camping

[inland pike]

Yeah BT players have been angry since the change happened with good reason, conquest is starting to get extremely bad too now

[spiral wave]

Isn't true

[fringe meadow]

Why not?

[spiral wave]

I don't need to tap fire with mostly weapons in the game

Like, one or another requires that, but mostly I can just beam another person in mid range

Long range requires specific weapons (like AK-205), which is also a weapon that shouldn't be that accurate

[shrewd slate]

game is hugely playable right now, except for mortar spam. ragequitting inducing.

[spiral wave]

mortar would be okay if it had ammunition (with a good CD to reload each ammo) and if recon drone could destroy from a huge distance

it would keep mortar to be used on HQ, but recon drones would be able to destroy even if they're too far from the flags

also, reducing the effectiveness distance for the mortar

mostly close to what BF4's mortar was

[grizzled cradle]

would love to see a server browser deep dive blog whenever that is ready so we can get some more details on what's coming and when

[red oak]

i think it will come when its ready to be revealed

[woven ravine]

when is new map releasing?

[rocky grotto]

12th may

[merry cargo]

Orange notification dots are permanently displayed across my loadouts, weapons, and class menus, but there are no unviewed items left anywhere.

Inventory is empty of new items, everything has been viewed, but the markers remain on multiple weapons and class loadouts.

This is not a one-time annoyance. The dots are visually intrusive, they make the loadout screen unreadable, and they defeat the purpose of a notification system because they no longer indicate anything new. Right now they are just visual noise that cannot be cleared.

PLEASE REMOVE THIS ANNOYING DOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im sick of this trash.

[red oak]

check camos

[merry cargo]

Already, everything checked

[shrewd slate]

it is annoying—most would agree. adding insult to injury is that in bfv there was an option to "mark all as seen".

i fail to understand why dice seemingly lost the ability to do the same for bf6?

[storm bear]

Howdy howdy

[ancient dome]

Linux support when

[red oak]

nevvah

[arctic oyster]

This is always baffling to me too. Simple features and mechanics that are added for player QoL, and yet aren't present in subsequent games made by the same people.

It's the same damn engine even lol And it's their engine.

The worst was always in CoD where it's yearly installments and they seem to completely forget everything they did every year, but it could be argued that they were completely different companies working on each year's game... Not so with BF.

Would it be so bad if they got the UI right once and for all, then just used the SAME UI for each subsequent game? I understand devs must change things for the sake of change, but even the UI?

[shrewd slate]

wholeheartedly agree. there were so many amazing things for instance from bf1 and bfv.

[arctic oyster]

I'd bet a month's salary that the next BF game will be a completely new UI lol

[shrewd slate]

"reinvent the wheel", as they say in the corporate world.

[lucid thicket]

I suspect that the UI is deeply f*cked in some way

[lucid thicket]

I understand devs must change things for the sake of change
Do they though?

[rough copper]

yeah i was wondering too my friend would buy it if it was compatible

[arctic oyster]

They shouldn’t, but it sure seems like they feel like they need to

[tawdry fossil]

Hey guys, I am not sure if I have fully understood what I have read with Season 3 so I am here, asking you good people, will Golmud be available to be put in map rotation with the servers that are up at the moment?

I mean player made servers, not official

[iron lance]

Railway to Golmud launches tomorrow, yep.

[tawdry fossil]

Thanks mate! But I was wondering about portal/server creators being able to add it in to their map rotation straight away 🙂

[iron lance]

Let me check that for you.

[open raft]

Lets gooooooooo i have my final exams so wont be able to play when it comes out sadly

Atleast i have good grades and playing 5 hours each saturday and sunday 😅 yesterday i couldnt play rho

But after my exams schools done so yeah

[iron lance]

It'll be available in verified, not custom at launch.

[tawdry fossil]

Damn, bummer! Thanks for checking though mate! 🙂

[snow nova]

I hope they add a badge that shows how many elite badges u have

I would love to show that off

[void dust]

Is a 128 player mode planned?

[ebon adder]

no plz no....That didn't work out even in 2042, and besides, the maps are far too small—so much so that even Breakthrough has already been scaled down on many maps and won't be increased back up to 64 players.

[red oak]

redsec has 100 players on 30hz don't think 128 will work on 60hz

[shell shard]

What they meant is it'll be available to Portal creators to use in player-made servers, but only for verified game modes available in the Portal Builder Tool, which at the moment include Breakthrough, Conquest, Escalation, and Rush. You can't alter the fundamentals of those game modes in the web tool, but you can still tweak parameters like the player count, map rotation, soldier and UI mutators, restrictions on weapons, vehicles and gadgets, etc.

So yeah, Golmud will be on Portal on day 1 and I'm sure there will be Golmud 24/7 Conquest servers immediately.

I sure as heck will be running mine

I think I'll just clone my normal conquest preset, bump the player count up to 64, and set it to Golmud only, as Golmud is the only map in BF6 actually big enough for 64 people

[tawdry fossil]

You're a legend mate, thank you!

[inland pike]

Didn't ganslinger tell you yesterday it's only available in verified playlists, not custom day 1 o.o

[shell shard]

They are asking about player made servers, not custom

[inland pike]

Ah idk, not super familiar with portals just saw that gan said golmund would only be available in verifieds, not customs day 1

[shell shard]

Portal has two types of experiences, one you make through the web tool, and one you make in the SDK on your computer. The web tool has an option for Verified presets where it's either battle royale or classic game modes, but you can tweak the settings and make a persistent server with them.

Verified modes can still be customised to differ wildly from official matchmaking. For example, on my verified conquest server, sniper rifles are turned off, you can't slide, the run speed is slower, and only medics can revive, among other tweaks

[inland pike]

Ah that makes sense

[royal forge]

now we just need 128 player lobbies to accomendate the larger maps

[shell shard]

WDYM

The new map is FINALLY large enough for 64 players

[royal forge]

I. Need. Chaos.

[shell shard]

There's CoD for that!

[royal forge]

i dont think sliding around quickshoting everyone is the all out combined warfare i want

[shell shard]

You just described BF6 though T_T

Quickshotting and sliding around is why I made my Portal server with sliding and oneshot weapons disabled

[peak flare]

is tsuru reef 2 times larger than golmud railway? Or more times bigger?

also is it meant to be bigger than golmud railway BF4 or railway to golmud BF6?

[iron lance]

We'll talk about Season 4 maps when we're closer to their release.

[peak flare]

I pray to god we get controllable aircraft carriers and destroyers and not small boats

[icy night]

Any news on Linux support?

[royal forge]

32 players but everyone is a sailor needing to do their part on a vessel

[white glen]

Game still shit?

[shell shard]

Yes

[white glen]

How is it that every update makes the game even worse? Hitreg netcode is still bad Footsteps are still shit

[iron lance]

You haven't even played yet, according to your question. Give it a try. 🙂

[white glen]

you don't need that, if you read what people write around, none of those things have gotten better😊

[iron lance]

But you don't play the game. You should form your own opinion. The only thing you seem to be doing is coming in here and posting negative things based on what others say. Try the game. If you don't like it, leave feedback. If you don't want to do that, also fine. But at the end of the day, you will either like the game or not. Not much I can do for you at this stage of your relationship with Battlefield 6.

[white glen]

What's the point of giving feedback when it doesn't change but only gets worse? e.g. netcode hitreg footstep grunplay etc. haven't experienced a single update that has made it better

[iron lance]

You can have that opinion. And as I said, if the game's not for you anymore because of that, I can't help you on that front.

[queen walrus]

I’ve heard footsteps are a bit better and from my understanding these netcode fixes were mostly for animations yeah? All battlefields have taken about a year to dial in. Obviously that’s not great, but I feel like we’re getting there. Progress is progress.

[scarlet sluice]

im really hoping its soon™

especially after this: came out a bit ago https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/ea-javelin-anticheat-job-listing-mentions-future-support-for-linux-and-proton/

[alpine vector]

Not that i actually care about Redsec but wasnt solos supposed to come out today? (Not home to launch the game) Have not seen anything on it and its not on the Season 3 posts in #game-news

I mean if its not coming thats fine i rather the resources go into the actual game anyway

[vivid saffron]

solos is s3 but later in the season, maybe with cairo bazaar map

[ancient dome]

about time ffs

[fiery granite]

Devs please can next operations mode be:
New sobek city>siege of Cairo>Cairo bazaar
Understand 3 maps will probably need 5 battalions

[red oak]

not sobek until is got reworked

[fiery granite]

I agree

[wintry nebula]

Should've made rank display in profile separate or replaceable with a 4th top badge as it used to be. Most of the people who like the little showoff, probably won't ever get a rank because BR is the minority fraction of this audience. So atp it just feels like another redsec intrusion to forcibly display something irrelevant over the removed badge slot.

[white glen]

Fix gunplay netcode hitreg ffs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[queen walrus]

Fr

[red oak]

i think its your internet cause for me its much better in MP but in this new ranked BR it isn't thats true

[ebon adder]

So, in light of the roadmap, there has already been a lot of speculation regarding Season 5—including the theory that it will be set in Las Vegas. Something else occurred to me: there was a Dog Tag titled "Forged in the Mojave Desert" that particular Dog Tag is no longer in the game. Since the Mojave Desert is situated between California and Las Vegas, could the speculation about Las Vegas actually be true?

[remote current]

Hi there, listen, you guys have a problem with cross-progression. I originally played on a console and reached Bronze 5, but then decided to switch to PC, and the rank I earned wasn’t carried over. Do you have an issue with transferring ranks? Also, please add the ability to invite players via a lobby code—it’s very convenient—and add a feature to mute the game audio with a button. I’d appreciate it if you could read this review.

[harsh blade]

Is your ea account linked to ps5?

[remote current]

Yes

[harsh blade]

And you play on pc through ea app?

[remote current]

steam

[harsh blade]

Well theres your problem

[remote current]

The fact that my PS5 rank didn't carry over to PC when I started in REDSEC

[harsh blade]

Yeah but steam is a problem child for cross stuff

[remote current]

Well, that's exactly why I'm reporting the issue; I haven't checked it through the EA app yet)

[cunning locust]

Idk if the problem
Is steam I did the same thing and I can play on my account fine on Steam, rank included

[ancient dome]

Linux support when?

[scarlet sluice]

i hope soon™

[lost shore]

I wish we had the gamemodes (conquest, breakthrough etc) and working bot maps in portal just like 2042
I just want to have a chill match for once

[tawdry fossil]

No, you MUST play like a sweaty little edgelord300 with a RedBull I.V. with some Cheetos and a golden shit bucket, this is how BF6 is supposed to be played.. dontchakno

[lost shore]

Run and die simulator 2026

[normal siren]

thats marathon lol

[stiff valve]

You sound like a very unpleasent person to be around

[tawdry fossil]

Whoosh 😂

[tall fractal]

You can simply ask google

[fiery granite]

Can we get a text channel to promote our platoons discord server? Like a recruitment post within this discord?

I'm already building one in prep for the official platoons in game. For now I'm building a community in our Gaming discord and will be putting these clan members straight into my platoon when it's uploaded.
I would like to be able to post in a recruitment channel in this discord.

[iron lance]

No, we don't want to increase the spam on the server. The LFG channels already struggle with this. While we encourage players to find regular groups to play with, it's better to discuss these things in DMs, instead of a text channel that gets the same messages from the same people over and over again. While we might change the approach once Platoons are live in the game, it'll be a decision made based on community reaction and feedback when the feature is live. Advertising platoons/guilds/clans is currently also against the #rules

[fiery granite]

Not currently -> we'll think about it

Yeah I can take that as a positive response.
So I assume we will be getting either in game platoons or website like battle log for the official feature?

[iron lance]

You are free to assume anything, yep.

We will have more info about the feature when we're closer to testing/release.

[fiery granite]

Obviously won't ask for an official date but is this a long term thing we should expect or short term future. (I understand short might be liberal use of the word)

[iron lance]

It's not planned to be time-limited, if that's what you're asking?

[fiery granite]

No. I mean how soon can we expect this feature?
(Definitely no hard press for date, just window)

[iron lance]

It's one of the features for later in the year. We have not announced any dates for the features mentioned in the 2026 Roadmap that didn't have any dates attached to them.

[fiery granite]

The platoon update I'm especially waiting to see.
So thank you for taking the time to answer 🫡

[turbid tundra]

Question will there be like a feature for optic reticle sights to decrease the opacity like bf4 had?

[tall fractal]

Hello !!!

[normal siren]

hello back

[prime flint]

When the ranked mode comes to multiplayer not just Redsec will you guys be taking sbmm/eomm out of the casual matchmaking and moving it to the ranked or will casual still have it? When proximity chat releases in Redsec is there estimation of how long it will take to be able to move to multiplayer as well or will you at least announce that you're working on it?

[harsh blade]

I don't think it will come to mp

[prime flint]

I legitimately think it's possible

[trail haven]

Imagine how amazing proximity chat would be with vehicle teamwork

[prime flint]

EXACTLY and it would be so nice for people to be able to actually scream 'medic I'm down' or 'we need a medic!' in the heat of battle.. oh my gosh you would be so cool!

[harsh blade]

Im turning that off
