Battlefield 6 fans haven’t been shy about giving their opinions on the game through its extended public testing period–and that hasn’t changed with the game’s wildly popular first open beta. Many players are echoing the same few criticisms on social media–that the BF6 maps are too small, and that Liberation Peak is an infuriating sniper’s heaven.
With a game as heavily anticipated as Battlefield 6–not to mention the record-breaking open beta numbers–it’s not surprising that social media has been flooded with feedback both good and back on the Battlefield beta. Many of the criticisms leveled at the game have been to do with its maps, with many players saying the three maps on the open beta rotation all feel too small.
Interestingly, Battlefield 2042 had the opposite problem, with players often complaining that the maps felt too big and often lifeless. In the BF6 beta, however, players are saying that the small map sizes mean they are pushed to engage far too often.
The criticism is far from universal, of course. Some players stand behind the smaller maps, pointing out that some fan-favorite Battlefield maps like Sienne Crossing and Grand Bazaar were also small. Other players counter that the issue with the new maps may not be their actual size, but how combat and movement flow through them.
The largest of the beta maps, Liberation Peak, suffers from a different design issue that has been annoying players–terrain that heavily favors snipers. The abundance of snipers has been parodied in memes showing an absurd number of sniper glints coming from Liberation Peak’s rocky terrain–though real screenshots posted in the replies show these edits aren’t really that far from the truth.
Of course the point of a beta is that elements that don’t work can be changed before the game’s launch, which is scheduled for October 10 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. BF6 devs have publicly addressed some feedback, while EA also has a full list of changes that will be implemented pre-launch. The developer has said it will be going over player feedback from the beta to identify what else needs to be modified before launch.
Players will have a chance to check out more Battlefield 6 maps and different modes when the open beta returns for a second weekend on August 14. For more, check out GameSpot’s Battlefield 6 open beta breakdown.
