Battlefield 6 Needs Snow Maps Like BFV

The Battlefield franchise is one of the most realistic-feeling warfare series in the whole gaming space. The game takes immersion to a whole different level, where it will make you feel like you’re in an actual theatre of war, guns blazing and marching with your troops. One aspect that really emphasized this realism was the snowy maps from Battlefield 5.

Let’s delve deeper into how these arctic architectures can stand out in the franchise’s upcoming game, Battlefield 6, and find out how they offer a unique combat experience for the players.

Why snow maps were a highlight in Battlefield 5

Battlefield 5 was released back in 2018, and like the other BF games in the series, EA DICE also wanted to make this game as realistic as possible. While the title stumbled in delivering a consistently smooth experience to the BF playerbase, the developers did succeed in creating the most breathtaking, realistic-looking snowfields ever seen in gaming.

BF 5 has some of the best snowy terrains in the entire franchise; maps like Narvik and Fjell 652 don’t just look good, they feel alive. From the tense and winter-y atmosphere to the stunning graphics made sure that these snowy expanses weren’t just for show.

Although the white layer of ice looks phenomenal from a gamer’s perspective, during ongoing battles, the snow changed everything. Weather events like thick snowfall or sudden blizzards in Fjell made sure that you get blinded amidst a battle, forcing players to adapt and making firefights feel more cinematic.

Movement also gets affected when players walk through snow, and while the speed reduction is not that noticeable, it is significant enough to alter sprint paths and limit flanking options. The white landscape also made fire, explosions, and players pop on the screen, focusing on a striking visual contrast.

Snow did not just change how maps looked, it changed strategies and changed playstyles that are based on complete randomness, and more than anything, the snow enhanced the immersion of the game. With modern hardware now offering players enough power to run literally anything, Battlefield 6 could deliver snowy environments that are dynamic and lifelike than ever.

Imagine blizzards that evolve in real time, snow deforming under tank treads, or footprints giving away enemy positions, and all of this in high fidelity.

As Battlefield 6 looms on the horizon, there is a powerful opportunity to reintroduce and expand upon the icy innovations of BF 5. These snow terrains offer an atmosphere that turns the game from a simulation to a full-fledged experience. Players would have to think about the snow and the weather when engaging in combat, adding an extra layer of strategy in the game.

And if DICE truly wants to save the franchise and re-establish the relevance of the games, bringing back and building upon the snowy environment is not just a good idea, but an essential one.
