Open Beta of Battlefield 6 reveals no bot-filled servers: AI soldiers will be limited to training grounds playlist only.
Battlefield 6 Open Beta: A Closer Look at the Gameplay
Battlefield 6, the highly anticipated sequel to the popular multiplayer shooter series, is gearing up for its open beta. Here's a rundown of some key features and changes you can expect.
Firstly, the return of the portal system from Battlefield 2042 is confirmed, with the server browser taking a backseat. Some players have expressed concerns about the need for AI soldiers to backfill lobbies, stating that a server browser with persistent servers would be preferable. However, it's worth noting that Battlefield 6 will be scaling down lobby sizes to 64 players, a departure from the 128-player matches of Battlefield 2042.
In the open beta, AI soldiers are present only in the Training Grounds playlists, designed to introduce players to the core elements of Breakthrough and offer a smoother experience. These soldiers fill in matches after 15 human players join. Interestingly, the Training Grounds playlists are only accessible up to rank 15, after which they disappear.
For a bot-free experience, players can jump into Breakthrough from the featured playlist option. Regarding the full game after the open beta, developers have left open the possibility that bots might still be a factor within regular playlists once the game launches.
The recoil system in Battlefield 6 has become a topic of discussion, with some claiming that a "zero recoil" gun in the game is actually just realistic. In a humorous twist, the term "pew pew nerds" was used in a tweet to refer to players who discuss the game's recoil system.
Lastly, DICE plans to select popular classic builds or maps from previous Battlefield games based on fan and player requests, paying homage to classic games like Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 and 4, but not sticking strictly to the ideas found in the older entries.
Stay tuned for more details about Battlefield 6 as they are revealed ahead of the beta.
