[STEAM] Battlefield 6 Season 3 starts with biggest map yet | hands-on preview

[Steam 0]

Battlefield 6’s Season 3 kicks off on Tuesday May 12 with a reimagining of a classic Battlefield 4 map, now called Railway to Golmud, which will be the biggest map in Battlefield 6 yet.

The original map was based in China, but now EA’s Battlefield Studios changed the location to Tajikistan to align with the events of the Battlefield 6 campaign. While it is simply a new map in a live operations strategy, it’s also the kind of execution that could help fulfill the promise between Battlefield Studios and its fans. Golmud is a playground for things to happen that can happen only in Battlefield.

There’s more room in this game for aerial combat between jets and helicopters, which bring tremendous destructive for to the modern battlefield. But there’s also room for a mere soldier on the ground to bring down one of those goliaths with a single stone. I played the preview for a couple of hours and, while I’m not much of a Battlefield hero, I tasted some moments of victory that felt like the game was living up to its promise.

In Battlefield 6, you mostly feel like you’re a cog in the giant military machines that are chewing up bodies in a meat grinder battle, where you spawn and then get shot and have no idea where the shot came from until you see your deathcam video of who shot you.

But every once in a while, you can pull off something heroic and feel like you’ve made a great play in a sports game. I got this feeling while playing as a lowly infantry soldier with an assault rifle. I quickly remembered that I should just spawn into armored vehicles that are roaming around the battlefield wreaking havoc before anti-tank weapons, other tanks, helicopters or jets take you out.

It has new weapons like the PP-19 submachine gun and a new gadget, the RF Jammer, which causes nearby electronic devices to malfunction. This second part of the season runs through June 30.
