[BFComms] Eastwood Escalation Changes
Eastwood Escalation changes We are making a first pass of changes to Escalation on Eastwood by adjusting HQ and Capture Points to help balance the win rates between the two sides. The HQ on the west side of the map is moving north. Capture Point B will move closer to Capture Point A and have its Capture Zone adjusted. Capture Point C moves slightly south Capture Point D moves slightly south Capture Point F repositions north and has its Capture Zone increased. These changes are now live and may take a short moment to propagate across all servers. We look forward to your feedback on the new layout.[BFComms] Jet usage has been re-enabled on Railway to Golmud in Breakthrough.
Jet usage has been re-enabled on Railway to Golmud in Breakthrough. The issue affecting ticket count when using this vehicle type has now been resolved, and you can now use jets again as intended on this map and mode. Thank you for your patience while we solved this issue.Update on Incorrect Tier Skip issue.
We identified an issue where some Season 3 Battlefield Pro owners incorrectly received 25 tier skips for the Season 2 Battle Pass, rather than the 25 Tier Skips for the Season 3 Battle Pass. Affected players will receive a message to their in-game inbox which will resolve this. We appreciate everyone who flagged this issue and shared feedback. Gear up and get back into the action, we'll see you on the battlefield[BFComms] Jet Usage on Railway to Golmud, Breakthrough
Jet Usage on Railway to Golmud, Breakthrough We have temporarily disabled jet usage on Railway to Golmud in Breakthrough while we investigate an issue affecting ticket count when using this vehicle type. Once a resolution has been identified, we will provide an update on next steps and when jets will be re-enabled for this map and mode. Thank you for your understanding.[BF Comms] Operation Augur
With Season 3 launch on May 12, Operation Augur has rotated out as scheduled. We have seen your interest in Operations through your comments online and in our data internally, and we know you would like to see it return soon. With the additional content coming in Season 3, we’re dedicated to maintaining healthy matchmaking across all featured experiences, which means making tough calls on which modes stay active at any given time. Our current plan is to reactivate Operation Augur later in Season 3 while we continue to monitor activity across our experiences. We will share an update on the timing once it's been finalized. We are still in the early stages of reviewing the overall player experience of Operation Augur along with investigating some potential changes. Your feedback around areas like match pacing, map selection, Attack/Defense balance, sector layout, match length, and how different classes impacted the game flow is very helpful. We’ll review this feedback alongside the data we gathered during Season 2 as we continue shaping how Operations show up in Battlefield moving forward.[BF Comms] Ranked Battle Royale - Known Issues
Today, we are launching our Ranked experience for Battle Royale with the start of Season 3. Ranked Battle Royale will be a Battlefield Labs in Live experience, as we look to refine the competitive Battlefield vision before the eventual launch of the Elite Series. “In Live” means that this is a work-in-progress feature that we’re building in the live version of Battlefield 6 and REDSEC with our community. As we continue to work on this feature, there are a few known issues to be aware of when climbing the ranks. These are currently scheduled to be fixed with Phase 2 of Season 3 ("Blastpoint" on June 9). Known Issues: Placement RP information in the Rules & Points menu is incorrect. Rank 6 correctly shows 30 Placement RP, Ranks 7-10 incorrectly show 30 Placement RP, but will give 20 Placement RP instead. Rank 15 incorrectly shows 10 Placement RP, but will give 0 Placement RP instead. The "RP until next rank", which is displayed at the end of round screen, shows incorrect values after losing RP. You will be able to see the correct value in your profile screen. The "Your Kills" and "Squad Kills Confirmed" stats at the end of round screen will show incorrect numbers if your squad is wiped right after you wiped another squad. We’re very excited for you to jump into the ranked system we’ve been working on for Battle Royale Quads and Battlefield Labs in Live will help us improve the systems and experience. Your thoughts and feedback are very important for the team, and we'll be reading your comments across our social media channels and our official Discord server. This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.
