After adding yet another tiny map, Battlefield 6 players are rightfully clowning on its definition of ‘all-out warfare’

As weekend two of the Battlefield 6 beta gets into swing, folks are increasingly skeptical of all these small to medium maps. The lack of a truly “big” Battlefield map was the loudest criticism coming out of last weekend’s playtest, and the only new map added this week isn’t squashing worries that Battlefield 6 is … Read more
