Battlefield 6's First Big Map Revealed, Alongside Debut Of Server Browser
"The server browser in Battlefield 6 is limited to the game's Portal mode, a decision that players have made their feelings known about. For the upcoming test, the developer said the main goal is "observe how it works in practice, with initial feedback focusing on accessibility and UI clarity." Battlefield Studios said people should know that what they are seeing only represents a non-final version of the feature. For the Labs test, it is "intentionally limited," the developer said."
"A server browser allows players to pick and choose the exact maps and modes they want to play, but there will not be a server browser for the main matchmaking servers. A producer asked fans why they would even want that, and players sent in a lot of feedback. In response, producer David Sirland said that the Portal server browser "is basically enabling" what fans are asking for."
"In terms of bigger maps, Battlefield Studios said it heard the feedback that the Battlefield 6 open beta maps were small. As it turns out, that was apparently by design, with Battlefield Studios saying the aim of the beta was to test the "fundamentals of gameplay," including movement, gunplay, and destruction."
The upcoming Battlefield Labs test will include a Portal-mode-only server browser presented as a non-final, intentionally limited feature to evaluate accessibility and UI clarity. Portal will provide player choice over maps and modes through user-created experiences and will serve many functions players request, though main matchmaking servers will not use the server browser. Future Labs tests may expand functionality to test player-owned server hosting, server descriptions, and joining. Earlier open beta maps were intentionally small to prioritize testing movement, gunplay, and destruction, with larger official maps planned for Labs testing.
