For the 46 players left playing, some news tomorrow.With S5 winding down, we should find out about S6 and if there are any other skins left to squeeze in a 7th season of some kind.Possible updates*:1. Adding spread to Sniper Rifles, DMRs, Pistols, and RPGs2. Map rework 2.0, a second round of map reworks to fix the things they broke with the original rework3. New scoreboard column for EOD Bot kills4. Solo/Coop get penalized for XP, so if you play it, you lose XP now5. Mouse Input only works with 2 mice, one for x-axis, one for y-axis* - ParodyThe video is a whole 2 minutes and 13 seconds long, so they clearly have a lot to put out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcGxQ_RR6aM

@BFB-Praetorian I just saw that. Recycle the events for the next 6 weeks, then launch S6 with a single map in October. They are really stretching this content thin. I guess it is cool for those that missed the seasonal events, but for those that didn't, a few weeks are going to be super boring.

@AdamonicThey're recycling everything they've done so far and calling it Battlefield Redux.1 new map in October.Utter fail.Edit: Forgot, they're throwing in a few free skins 🤦

@BFB-Praetorian My theory is they moved majority of the "content" devs off the program right after launch, then left the remaining crew to break up Season 1 content into 4 seasons. That is why Season 5 did not have a Specialist or new vehicle/aircraft, etc. Now Season 6 is only going to have one map, but they needed more time to create new skins, charms, and player cards to fill the BattlePass up with a lot of fluff.Either way, very disappointing news. I had reserved hopes, and they didn't even meet my low expectations. Sad day for Battlefield. This game is officially dead.

Either way it's funny how Portal was the "love letter to fans" and ended up largely being an abandoned waste of potential. Truly the love letter that the community expects from DICE/EA at this point.Ill agree with this. I was bummed portal never got anything new. So much potential wasted Yeah me too, I really enjoy the existing maps in Portal, just think how much better BF2042 would be now if they had added a couple more maps to Portal every season.

@Adamonic I kept my expectations low so I was expecting one new map. But I thought they'd make up for it by adding at least 2 new maps to portal.Even when I set the bar so low they find a way to disappoint. It's almost impressive 😅

Redux is more like reuse.

I can see doing this concurrently within a season that also had new content, but to do it "between" seasons is really just a delay tactic to stretch the same content out longer.

Yep, looks like S5 is it for me. Stringing us along.
