You ever just wake up and think, “Let’s launch grenades for fun?” No? Well, maybe try the Battlefield 6 open beta anyway. EA’s tossing in some updates — you know, to make life easier in the game or whatever. They say these tweaks are shaping up for the full game release, while letting you fiddle around more for now.
But — and hang on, here’s a twist — there’s no server browser in this beta. Fans have been hollering for one, but no dice this time. Yet, there’s a breadcrumb trail of hope. EA’s blog says from Aug 14-17, there’ll be something called Custom Search. It basically lets you pick your favorite maps and modes, and then boom — it tries to match you up. Sounds promising? Maybe, maybe not. But the kicker? They specifically mention, “this isn’t a Server Browser (not tested this week).” Hmm. Feels like they’re hinting that it could pop up later, doesn’t it? Or maybe I’m reading into it too much. Who knows.
Anyway — wait, where was I going with this? Right, there’s more. New maps, challenges, and a mashup of modes are headed your way. That Empire State map? Sounds cool. EA put this on their list:
Day 1, Thursday 14th:
- Conquest
- Rush
- Attack & Defend (Breakthrough, Rush)
- Close Quarters; Fast-paced playlist (Domination, King of the Hill)
- Closed Weapons All-Out Warfare
Day 2, Friday 15th:
- Conquest
- Squad Deathmatch
- More Close Quarters
- All-Out Warfare; Huge battles
- Closed Weapons All-Out Warfare
Day 3-4, Saturday 16th – Sunday 17th:
- Conquest
- Close Quarters again
- All-Out Warfare, epic scale
- Closed Weapons All-Out Warfare
Looks like EA’s all ears right now, tuning into player vibes. They’re tweaking with player feedback, making sure everyone gets their favorite combos when the big day arrives. There’s chatter about adjusting how long it takes to make a kill — something about Call of Duty vibes. Whatever floats your gaming boat, I guess. Oh, and cheaters? EA’s onto them. They’re talking promises of a crackdown from what they’ll learn during the beta.
Mark your calendar, folks! The Battlefield 6 beta opens on Thursday, Aug 14, at the crack of dawn (1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST). Grab your caffeine!
