As mentioned within the preliminary delay message, BF Studios desires the neighborhood’s involvement earlier and extra constantly within the improvement of future content material. This consists of Season 2, in fact, and an enormous part of what it’s bringing to the sport is headed to Labs.
The primary Battlefield Labs session kicking off quickly will deal with Contaminated, one of many new maps coming to Battlefield 6 with Season 2. BF Studios says the map falls between Eastwood and Mirak Valley, by way of dimension.
The weblog submit even likened it to Battlefield 1’s St. Quentin Scar, and Battlefield 5’s Arras. Though we’ve but to really play it, the scale and outline do sound rather well, particularly in a recreation as starved of massive maps as Battlefield 6 presently is.
One other factor BF Studios desires to check is the way in which floor car gameplay and aerial presence work together with infantry fight, which is fairly normal for many Battlefield maps.
