Overview
- Battlefield Studios is running a two-hour Battlefield Labs session on December 2, with NA from 4–6 p.m. PT, EU from 7–9 p.m. CET, and APAC from 8–10 p.m. JST.
- The test targets footstep audio clarity—distance perception, surface definition, and enemy audibility—alongside networking and hit registration improvements for tighter close-quarters combat.
- Playtesting takes place on Eastwood and Operation Firestorm in the All-Out Warfare playlist, rotating through Conquest and Escalation modes.
- Access is limited to PC via the EA app or Steam, and participation requires Battlefield Labs registration under a non-disclosure agreement with developers cautioning against leaks.
- Studios outlined ongoing Labs formats with planned feature-focused sessions and quick short-notice tests, including experiments with map layouts, pacing, and alternative team compositions such as smaller player counts or vehicle-focused setups.
