The latest installment in the Battlefield series, Battlefield 6, has ignited discussions among its dedicated fan base. The subject at the heart of these conversations? The size of the game’s maps. With players expressing concerns over the perceived compact nature of these battlefields, a community-driven analysis has shed light on this issue.
Community Insights: Battlefield 6 Map Comparisons
On the Battlefield subreddit, user ClaraTheRed initiated a detailed comparison of the series’ 87 maps. This assessment highlighted the total and playable areas of each map, revealing some interesting findings. Notably, the largest map in Battlefield 6, Operation Firestorm, is a reimagined version of Battlefield 3’s map. It ranks only 32nd in terms of playable space, with the original ranking significantly higher at 7th.
Map Rankings and Player Reactions
The analysis indicates that other Battlefield 6 maps also fall short in size. Mirak Valley stands as the largest original map in the game, yet ranks 35th overall, while Saints Quarter is the second smallest in the entire series. Such findings validate the community’s perception that the game’s maps are smaller compared to previous entries, even without a comprehensive analysis.
While many of the series’ largest maps were introduced through DLCs post-launch, Battlefield 6’s maps seem to lack in playable space when compared to initial releases from past games. The community’s feedback on this matter could potentially influence future developments, as seen with other aspects of the game, such as the removal of the neon blue skin following community backlash.
Battlefield 6 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
