I would love to see new armies/factions added to Battlefield 6. Having three different armies fighting each other in Conquest mode on large, crowded maps would add a new level of scale, chaos, and tactical depth to the Battlefield experience. This could make matches feel more dynamic and unique.
But Battlefield 6 needs to be updated again for a mode like this. For example, the game mechanics are too fast; they need to be slowed down a bit. The game mechanics should be the same speed as Battlefield 1. Otherwise, three different armies fighting each other on a very crowded server can become unplayable. The fast pace of Battlefield 6's mechanics already makes it unsuccessful and unplayable for Battlefield fans. Therefore, Battlefield 6 should avoid imitating Call of Duty and make the game worthy of Battlefield.
This is what I mentioned, for example 100-128 player servers, 3 fraction nations like NATO vs pax armata vs Russia or WW2 Germany. Put tanks planes and land forces on large map like for example WW2 city or modern city . Put 7 8 flags on middle. And every Team has their own bases for born. It will be chaos and perfect.
I gave my notes. Won't matter though unless our glorious overlords over at Battlefield studios don't add a third army with its own set of terrible skins 😜
I published a demo/proof-of-concept. It should be accepted and searchable/joinable in a couple of hours. ZP6HX
It's not a finished product, but is generally playable. The bots being limited to 12 per team makes it pretty underwhelming as a solo map, but maybe with 30 more humans it would be more enjoyable.
Take BR map.
Reduce size as needed.
Put flag in center of map.
Cut BR map into three pieces of pie so each team has its sector.
Put HQ in each sector.
Put 2 additional flags in each teams sector.
Adjust map size, player count and number of vehicles and team sector flag locations to find out what works for a 3 team conquest.
......

I confirmed that 3 teams conquest is currently possible, but there are caveats.
The game gets confused about what game mode you are trying to play, so it enforces the lower max bot limit of 36 bots total, instead of 64.
AI for team 3 behaves more like tdm than conquest, so you have to give it more goals to keep it focused on the game objective. The AI commander for team 1 and 2 still works properly and gives conquest-type gameplay commands, but team 3 doesn't get objective orders from the AI commander, so you have to do it manually. Even after creating the typescript variables and arrays for AI commander to interface with a team 3, I think the game's code just doesn't expect/try to interface that way.
There are only 2 team outfits and vehicles, so team 3 is going to look like an existing team. Not that most would really notice.
It works, but who would play it?
Im watching "what we do in the shadows."
Yes, the request is clear. I believe it is possible, except for the scoreboard being a bit harder to look at. There is no 3-team scoreboard available, so it would have to be represented in a free-for-all scoreboard. That wouldn't affect the gameplay.
But will people play it, made through Portal, in a community server? Because every time I try, people just complain that it isn't official. So, would it be played, if made, or would people rather hold their breath for 3 years?
Where's Horntho to bash this idea?
No, what I mean is there will be 3 different teams in Conquest mode, on a 100-player server and a large map. For example, one side will be Pax Armata, another Battlefield 4 China, and the other NATO or 1942 Germany. They will enter through a portal, and the one who gets their hands on the flags first will win.
This is possible in Portal custom, I believe. 4 teams, I am almost sure, so probably 3 teams is also an option. But the scoreboard would be screwed. You'd have to use the free-for-all scoreboard, I believe, and just scroll through the teams randomly populated based on score (or whatever sorting method chosen). You could sort them by team # (1, 2, or 3), not a team name, but then the players of each team would appear in a random order not ordered by a sub-order.
Someone could make it, but if no one plays it, it's not worth the effort. If it is made, will you play it? Or will you say you don't know how to use the server browser or too bad because Portal sucks?
