Overview

  • The second open-beta weekend (August 14–17) introduces the infantry-only Empire State map, new Rush and Squad Deathmatch modes, and daily playlist rotations.
  • A Custom Search matchmaking feature lets players prioritize specific map-and-mode combinations but is not a full server browser and does not guarantee placement.
  • Players have reported the absence of DLSS and DLAA options on PC and ongoing matchmaking and party errors when joining playlists.
  • Battlefield Comms has acknowledged these technical issues and is advising users to apply the latest client update or use the EA App’s repair function.
  • DICE reaffirmed that larger-scale maps exist and will be revealed soon, and the limited closed-weapons playlist slots have heightened community concerns about balanced mode support.
