Labs Tests Contaminated Map and AH-6 Little Bird
Battlefield Labs is testing Season 2's Contaminated map alongside vehicle gameplay, aerial presence, infantry combat interactions, and unique map mechanics. The new map sizes between Eastwood and Mirak Valley. Coming Labs tests: the AH-6 Little Bird, Aircraft Radar systems, rocket-to-vehicle tuning, and hit registration improvements. The team is also running internal BR Solos play tests and rebuilding the classic Golmud Railway map.
"These issues are rarely tied to a single change, but instead require careful iteration." — David Sirland, Lead Producer
