Latest update on Commander Mode in Battlefield 6 Portal! Expected release is sometime in July.

Hello everyone!

Thought you may be interested in an update to the BF6 Commander Mode development. This is in Portal, but is made to feel like the base game as much as possible. The code is optimized to reduce server load. I know Portal servers are not always stable and it is an ongoing concern, but it runs smoothly so far.

Importantly, balancing is still in progress. The footage is early gameplay and not final. The intent is to create something similar to Battlefield 2, where commander abilities could by disabled by a team destroying the opposing team’s commander assets. Achieving the right balance is high in the priorities!

My other main goals are to reward team plays and objective control, and to create more defined front lines near objectives.

Golmud Railway will be the first map released, in large scale Conquest-style. The footage you are seeing here is on a smaller test version.

Coming soon!
