As a hardcore gamer, I can’t contain my excitement after wrapping up the first beta for Battlefield 6! Details about EA’s grand plans for this game are starting to surface, and it looks like we’re in for a treat.
In a flurry of social media posts, our fearless leader, David Sirland – the man behind Battlefield – shed some light on one of the community’s most desired features: a server browser for the game. He explained that this baby will be integrated into the Battlefield 6 Portal browser, making multiplayer sessions even more seamless and exciting.
David also gave us a sneak peek behind the curtains, revealing some fascinating insights about how the title’s multiplayer servers operate. So, buckle up gamers, it seems like we’re in for an unforgettable ride with Battlefield 6!
Sirland mentioned that by using the server browser via Portal, larger groups of players (more than 4) can locate active matches more swiftly, making it easier for them to join a game together.
Sirland’s statement implies that we’ve been emphasizing this point: the portal browser essentially provides map playlists and does so persistently. It’s not like the ‘I accidentally found a fun server in my city’ server browser, but for structured play, it certainly meets its purpose.
Regarding the functioning of its server browser, Sirland points out that Battlefield 6 will offer a customizable gaming experience, with some options being officially endorsed. This implies that players can accrue full progression XP while engaging in these tailored experiences. He further explains that integrating this feature with dynamic matchmaking servers allows for swift server startup and shutdown based on player numbers, thereby providing Battlefield 6 with “the best aspects of both scenarios.
This tool is called a server browser. It holds various servers, some of which are customized experiences and others that have been verified (which is what most people are interested in regarding this topic). However, the mix of constantly running servers and those temporarily created doesn’t seem very helpful. Temporary servers, also known as matchmaking servers, can fill up with players within seconds and shut down after a game has ended. This means that you can only join when they are being created or if there’s a significant drop in players during the game, which makes for a tricky combination and often leads to long wait times.
According to Sirland, using this method of servers accessible via Portal offers the most versatility when it comes to playing Battlefield 6. He explained, “We believe this setup provides us with the best of both worlds – allowing players to either join a server through regular matchmaking, find an already running server, or even create their own.” He further mentioned that players will soon have the opportunity to try out the server browser during testing.
Alexia Christofi, a producer at DICE, previously verified that the server browser for Battlefield 6, accessible via Portal, will provide players with multiple options to customize the servers they can view. Moreover, she highlighted that the server browser in Battlefield 6 will boast improvements over the one in Battlefield 2042, such as awarding full XP to players through legitimate servers and offering DICE a means to weed out servers intentionally designed to manipulate the game’s progression systems.
To learn more about the multiplayer aspect of Battlefield 6, take a look at how well the Javelin Anticheat system functioned during its initial beta testing over the weekend. Battlefield 6 will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on October 10th.
Essentially, we’ve been emphasizing this point: The portal browser serves as a platform that facilitates map playlists and persistently too. It’s not like the “I found an interesting server in my town” server browser; instead, it’s designed specifically for structured gameplay.
