I’m not completely happy that I’ve to jot down about Battlefield 6‘s new map, Eastwood. I’d slightly be enjoying it. I’ve already put round 5 hours into the map in a single night time, and I’m right here to say: It good. On November 18, Battlefield 6‘s newest main season one replace landed on all platforms. It added a brand new recreation mode, Sabotage, which is simply too small and never superb. However extra importantly, it added an entire new map. And in contrast to the final map added earlier this month, the dreadful Blackwell Fields, this massive new warzone set in a wealthy California suburb is superb, offering the right mix of open warfare and close-quarters chaos that makes good Battlefield maps so rattling satisfying. First off, Eastwood is massive. Or not less than it feels massive. I’m certain should you have been to take it and examine it immediately with different maps from previous Battlefield video games, it wouldn’t seem large. Heck, I’m not even certain it’s the most important map in Battlefield 6. However uncooked acreage isn’t the important thing to creating a map really feel massive.
As an alternative, what Eastwood does is present a number of areas to mess around in and quite a lot of locales to destroy. Whereas enjoying on Eastwood you’ll run into a number of homes with totally explorable interiors, swimming pools, and garages; a big golf course full with a flowery clubhouse; undeveloped sections of nature; and extra. Crossing Eastwood on foot or in a automobile simply looks like such a journey since you’ll cross by so many alternative places and landmarks. That helps it really feel massive.
That selection additionally makes the map a blast to play. The primary night time it was within the recreation, my friends and I performed it continuous for almost 5 hours. And I by no means acquired bored as a result of matches typically felt like smaller battles unfold throughout completely different tiny maps. Maybe, at first, we’d battle onerous within the dense suburbs, going home to accommodate and dodging tanks. Later, we’d be assaulting the clubhouse in drivable golf carts and avoiding snipers. And we’d finish the match in a tank battle up close to the hills as our allies flank through the golf course. Eastwood has shortly turn out to be one in all my favourite Battlefield 6 maps and already looks like a basic map that individuals will discuss years from now. This new degree additionally makes me excited for Battlefield 6‘s future. It exhibits that the groups engaged on the sport could make maps that really feel massive and dense, and provide a great deal of thrilling locales by which to battle. Extra of this, please.
