The most significant grievance from players during last weekend's open beta was the limited map size. Fans pointed out that it was difficult to feel the series' hallmark charm of engaging in large-scale warfare. In response, the development team explained that larger maps are also being prepared.

Battlefield 6 held an open beta from the 7th to the 10th, including early access. The game was praised for its improved infantry combat, fast TTK (Time-To-Kill), visceral modern warfare atmosphere with realistic sound effects, and stable optimization.

However, it was noted that the maps featured in the open beta were small and the variety of available hardware was limited. Players felt it was difficult to experience the large-scale combat unique to Battlefield, which typically involves tanks and fighter jets, as the focus was heavily on infantry skirmishes. It is interesting to note that this reaction is the exact opposite of its predecessor, Battlefield 2042, which was criticized for having maps that were too large and monotonous due to a lack of cover.

The Battlefield 6 development team addressed these concerns directly. David Sirland, Lead Producer at DICE, shared details regarding map size via X on the 12th. He stated that the maps chosen for the first open beta were selected to demonstrate that Battlefield 6 is capable of accommodating fast-paced combat. He added, "There are larger maps, and the combat tempo will be adjusted accordingly. You will see them soon." The key will be whether these larger maps offer a different experience from the tighter ones.

Other issues were also pointed out, such as the 'super bullet' phenomenon, where players are killed instantly by a single shot. Florian Le Bihan, Lead Gameplay Designer at DICE, stated that the studio is investigating the issue and asked players to send any relevant data, such as videos showing unexpectedly fast TTD (Time-To-Death), to him.
