Battlefield 6 has recently sparked a wave of criticism among players for a controversial update that resulted in much shorter matches for one of its most beloved gameplay modes. Fans spoke out on social media about the decision, voicing concerns that the update wasn’t necessary and defeated the point of Conquest games entirely.
In a surprise reversal (via X), Battlefield 6 face officially walked back the reduction in ticket counts for Conquest maps and reverted them back to the original 1000, while also resetting time limits to the original 45 minutes.
Battlefield 6 Conquest Update Reverts To Original Settings
Developers Have Listened To The Negative Feedback
In a move that took place just two days ago Battlefield 6developers updated the Conquest map settings in a move that completely baffled fans across the board. The decision decreased the total number of tickets across all Conquest maps to address supposed problems with matches ending due to time limits as opposed to a team running out of active tickets.
Shortly after announcing this Conquest ticket count rollback, Battlefield 6 also released a massive update (via X) to introduce changes to progression after player feedback.
Players saw that this would certainly result in shorter matches and would go against the spirit of Conquest maps, which many players argue do not need time limits at all. Longer matches in Conquest are to be expected based on the past Battlefield gamesand a longer time limit allows for the tide of battle to shift and gives players more time to come back from a major deficit.
The update has been officially reverted to its original state of 1000 tickets per match and a 45 minute time limit, with Battlefield 6 stating that they have “heard your feedback.” The move will come as well welcome news to players, especially those who believe it was completely unnecessary in the first place.
Battlefield 6 Listening To Fans Is A Good Thing
It’s A Strong Sign That BF6 Devs Admit To Mistakes & Listen To Players
Developers have done a pretty great job at remaining open and receptive to feedback from players since Battlefield 6’s launch earlier this month, and this reverse decision is evidence that they’re willing to admit when they make a mistake. Ultimately, the decision was originally made to give players a more balanced experience, but developers heard the feedback that it goes against what fans actually want out of Conquest gameplay.
The controversial choice to decrease ticket counts across all Conquest maps ended up being a failed idea, but Battlefield 6’s response to outcry is a positive signal that players’ voices are being heard and not ignored entirely. It’s a hopeful sign that future popular requests and suggested improvements from players will be taken seriously and that the Battlefield 6 community will be an active part of the game’s evolution.
