Hmm, good question. Let's see if you get an answer.

Sorry @TheTacticalBrit, but John Battlefield already got knifed... 🙏

Yeah, someone just wrote in another post that the timer in Escalation has always been 5 seconds. Very interesting.

I don't play Escalation myself. So, does that mean the "out of bounds" timer in Escalation has always been only 5 seconds? Since its release and it's never been changed? That's interesting. And yes. In Conquest, it was increased to 10 seconds after release.

Nah, the whole issue is likely just an update bug 😎 Firstly, because the change wasn't mentioned in the update's changelog. And secondly, because the developers themselves increased the time from 5 to 10 seconds after release, when they realized that 5 seconds was way too short.

When I first saw the Manhattan Bridge map at the TGS2025, I really thought it was the answer to Siege of Shanghai. How wrong I was. The bridge is purely cosmetic, and the airspace is so narrow... compared to that, Siege of Shanghai was heaven (also for pilots).

Yeah, there are some serious problems with the balancing

Good to know. Thx for info.

I understand your point, but that's not what this is about. The issue is that once the pilots fly out of bounds, they need enough time to return to the playable area. That's not possible with only 5 sec. 10 sec is normal, just like in the older Battlefield games.

Hehehe

Yeah, I always back up my config files now. They've been overwritten far too often in recent years.

Yeah, probably. Regarding keybinds, I've made it a habit to back up the config files.

Too many devs working on BF6 who don't possess the pure Battlefield DNA. David Sirland and his former DICE colleagues should be locked in a room with the other former colleagues from Embark Studios and let out again after 2-3 years. Then we would get a 100% Battlefield again! 😉

Yeah, I completely agree. And the use of AI makes everything worse.

Yeah, that's right. The first weekend of the open beta was the best experience for me. By the second open beta weekend, they had already made changes, and things weren't going so well for many people.

I've never been able to get into the whole "Battlefield Studios" thing. 4 different studios contribute components to Battlefield 6, and then a student has to put it all together? But all joking aside. One studio on its own (maybe with some help by another one) and that's it.

Yeah, the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Honestly, alarm bells start ringing for me as soon as I read anything about an upcoming patch.

Good that you brought up the IFV Lock Guides. I wasn't aware of that.

I don't understand that either. I really wonder how many employees at DICE are messing around with the server configuration.

Players reporting that the "Out of bounds" timer on Manhattan Bridge has reverted to 5 seconds since the update. Why the change back from 10 to 5? 5 seconds doesn't really give you enough time to fly back into the battlefield. @tiggr_ #Battlefield | #Battlefield6 | #RedSec 🔥
