EA is delaying Battlefield 6 Season 2 by a month, and its causes for doing so are unnecessarily imprecise.
“Throughout our ongoing improvement, we have continued to evaluation neighborhood suggestions and, with a view to maintain our promise, decided that our greatest path ahead is to increase Season 1 and provides ourselves additional time to additional polish and refine Season 2,” reads a Battlefield Studios weblog put up printed at the moment.
To carry people over till Season 2’s new launch date of February 17, Battlefield 6 will get one other mini battle move freed from cost. It is known as the Frostfire Bonus Path and features a weapon bundle, a minimum of one soldier pores and skin, and a bunch of double XP tokens (the only option to pad out a battle move you did not plan on having to make).
I am all for devs taking additional time to complete updates as a substitute of slavishly adhering to an arbitrary three-month cycle, particularly as a result of Season 1 wasn’t precisely nice. We acquired one good map that in all probability ought to’ve been there at launch, one OK map, and a bunch of weapons as forgettable and samey as Name of Obligation’s wall of gray metallic. Oh yea, and Redsec, the battle royale that no one was significantly clamoring for and whose presence has solely made it extra annoying to navigate menus to the place I truly wish to go: common 64-player Conquest.
Take your time BF Studios! However simply so , there are solely 4 phrases that may get me excited for a brand new Battlefield 6 season proper now: Greater. Maps. Are. Coming.
Quick observe naval warfare. Increase the boundaries on maps that no one likes. “Maps too small” is the one loudest piece of suggestions now three months into Battlefield 6’s run, however DICE has been weirdly noncommittal about the entire thing. It acknowledged late final 12 months that larger areas are a factor they’re taking a look at, however as a fan, it comes off as out of contact to say something lower than “that is precedence primary.”
When you’re at it, cease bombarding people who paid $70 to play Battlefield 6 with pop-up advertisements and fullscreen billboards for $20 bundles on high of each day reminders that the $30 battle move exists. Simply since you made a greater Name of Obligation than Name of Obligation final 12 months, does not imply you have to make all the identical errors.
To recap: Battlefield 6 launch? Good. Season 1? A step again. Season 2? Might be a great one, if Conquest will get the maps it deserves.
