"Between now and the launch of Battlefield 6 next month, Battlefield Studios and its developers will be working to refine the game based on what was learned during the recent open beta test. Players have already shared their responses to the beta with some bitingly funny memes, including some commenting on the dominance of snipers and the brightness of the glint reflecting off their scopes. The Battlefield 6 team has seen those pics, and they think they're hilarious."
""I saw those ... I thought it was hilarious," said Buhl. "Obviously, we needed to fix some things and tune some things, so it was funny to see players react in a humorous way to those things, but also great to get that feedback and say, 'We need to tune down snipers or we need to change the glints so it's not like...' you know? I saw those memes with the hillside just full of these giant glares.""
""They're really, really funny, and they kind of magnify, 'Hey, we still have work to do,'" Nickerson said. "For example, with the sniper glint stuff, we knew it was too strong, so we stepped it back. We knew the bullet tracer effect was too strong, so we stepped it back ... At the end of the day, it keeps us honest. It keeps us, like, 'Hey, we still have work to do."
Battlefield Studios will refine Battlefield 6 between now and launch, applying lessons from the open beta. Players responded to the beta with memes highlighting issues such as sniper dominance and excessively bright scope glints. Studio leaders laughed at those memes while taking the feedback seriously. The team identified that sniper glints and bullet tracer effects were too strong and reduced their intensity. Developers will tune gameplay and visuals before release and use player reactions to prioritize remaining fixes. The design team shares community memes internally and values humor as a way to surface issues.
