Fan Dataset Finds Battlefield 6 Maps Rank Smaller Across the Series

A community-built pixel-to-meter comparison of 87 Battlefield maps shows Battlefield 6’s launch arenas skew smaller than earlier entries.

Overview

  • Reddit users ClaraTheRed and PENGUINonPC compiled three datasets charting total and playable areas and an island-style top-down comparison for 87 maps.
  • Battlefield 6’s largest map, its remake of Operation Firestorm, places 32nd by playable space, while Battlefield 3’s original Firestorm ranks 7th.
  • Among BF6’s originals, Mirak Valley is the biggest at 35th overall, and Saints Quarter ranks as the second smallest map in series history.
  • Players commenting on the findings say several BF6 maps feel more claustrophobic due to layout and tight out-of-bounds limits.
  • Largest-map slots are dominated by Battlefield 3—often DLC entries—prompting notes that BF6 could shift in standings if larger post-launch maps arrive.
