Between the powerful vehicles and the large, destructible map, Battlefield Redsec truly imbues the battle royale formula with the militarized chaos the series is known for. One big change the free FPS brings is insta-death if you're caught in the encroaching circle of wildfire, something that was part of a particular MO for the developers. Something akin to a "Yes, and?" philosophy drove development forward. "We didn't want to shy away and say, 'Oh, maybe we shouldn't, it's too powerful,'" Wiebe explains. "We said, 'No, let's add combat vehicles, but then let's make sure teams are empowered against them,' that they can learn how to take them on, that they don't feel like victims." Battlefield 6 devs have a big button that blows up everything on a map, but it isn't just for fun – DICE uses it to make sure maps are fun in all "3 different states" of destruction Battlefield 6 devs abandoned the chaos of Battlefield 4's destruction mechanic because they thought "the game wouldn't be fun" if everything in it was dust: "We want it to serve a gameplay purpose" Battlefield Redsec holds Warzone to the fire by leaning into tactical chaos, and I'm quickly warming up to EA's devilishly dangerous battle royale There's definitely a more frenzied atmosphere when the numbers start dwindling in Redsec compared to Warzone, Fortnite, or PUBG. If you're caught in the ceaseless fire, you can't recover. Your round is simply over. It makes the final ten more ruthless and forces you to be that much more cunning as you navigate the map. "Battlefield is all about massive scale, just enormous maps and destruction," Wiebe adds. "There's nothing that glorifies that destruction better than a massive wall of fire, burning everything, and sending it crashing to the ground around you." Battlefield 6's bouncy terrain and class active abilities glitches are getting fixed next update, lead says, but aim assist and hit registration problems are still being worked on
