Battlefield Labs / New Battlefield
It's no surprise to anyone that several videos from Battlefield Labs have been leaked. There are plenty of positives—destruction, atmosphere, and gameplay all seem much improved.
However, in this thread, I want to highlight some negative aspects that have not only bothered me but also many other long-time Battlefield players.
Blue and red LEDs to mark flags?
This makes no sense, especially since the new Battlefield is supposed to be more minimalist and a departure from what Battlefield 2042 was. We already have the flags marked on the minimap—there’s no need for such an intrusive visual marker.
The more minimalist the game is, the more immersive it will be. Please avoid adding unnecessary visual clutter. Just like in Battlefield 2042, where dropping an ammo box would make a glowing LED appear to indicate the required distance to interact with it—that is absolutely ridiculous!
Get rid of that kind of thing!
Some mechanics seen in the leaks seem promising, but others feel, at best, questionable.
One of the leaks suggests the addition of tactical sprint—this absolutely needs to be removed. Any mechanic resembling Call of Duty’s dolphin dive should also be scrapped. We don’t want a "COD reskin"—we want Battlefield.
Or do you really want Battlefield to become a joke like this?:

The destruction and atmosphere are fantastic—now it’s just a matter of ensuring that the gameplay complements them seamlessly.
