New Community Analysis Shows Battlefield 6 Maps Are Smaller Compared to Previous Series Maps

Battlefield 6 Maps: A Community Perspective on Size Comparison

In the gaming community, a growing sentiment among fans of the renowned Battlefield series is that the maps in Battlefield 6 are noticeably smaller compared to previous iterations. A recent analysis conducted by a dedicated community member seems to confirm these suspicions.

User ClaraTheRed recently shared a compelling set of comparison images on the Battlefield subreddit. This analysis showcases all 87 maps from the series, detailing their total and playable areas, shapes, and how they rank concerning size.

Measured Insights: Battlefield 6’s Ranking

The findings reveal that Battlefield 6 is at a disadvantage regarding map size. For instance, the largest map in the game, Operation Firestorm—which is a reinterpretation of a classic Battlefield 3 map—only ranks 32nd in playable space, a stark contrast to its predecessor which holds the 7th position in this category. Remarkably, every other map in Battlefield 6 also falls relatively low in terms of size comparison.

The original maps of Battlefield 6, such as Mirak Valley, fares slightly better, being the largest among its peers, yet still only ranks 35th overall. On the other hand, the smallest map, Saints Quarter, is the second smallest in the entire series, lending further credence to the notion that players have valid concerns about the game’s spatial design.

Community Reaction and Developer Response

Historically, many of the larger maps in earlier Battlefield titles were added as downloadable content (DLC) post-launch. Nonetheless, the current maps in Battlefield 6 appear to fall short in playable area compared to launch maps from earlier games in the series. Given the vocal nature of the community feedback regarding this issue, it remains to be seen whether the developers will integrate this criticism into the planning of future maps. They have shown willingness to address community concerns by making adjustments to features within the game, such as removing a skin deemed inconsistent with the game’s thematic elements.

Battlefield 6 is currently available for players on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. For more insights and detailed critiques on the game, consider exploring David Carcasole’s extensive review.
