Golmud is coming to BF6

[whitefish21]

Yes, you heard that correctly. Starting soon EA/Dice will be testing a new version of Golmud in Battlefield Labs.

From their official post:

"We also have plans to bring a fan-favorite map from Battlefield 4 into Battlefield Labs, prior to it going live in a future season: Golmud Railway.


Golmud Railway is being rebuilt for today’s Battlefield, not simply ported forward. Our goal is to preserve what made the map so memorable in Battlefield 4, particularly its combined arms gameplay, while improving how it plays and supports Battlefield 6 systems. Golmud is planned to be the largest Battlefield 6 map to date, giving us the opportunity to expand gameplay on a larger scale.


We’re bringing Golmud into Battlefield Labs early as this will be a multi-session project. Through Labs, we want to test changes such as larger flight space, increased cover for aircraft, and other adjustments as the map evolves over time."

What are everyones thoughts, must includes and things that need changing?

Do you have BF6 now or would this entice you to get it?

I will share my thoughts below. It would be cool if one of us BF4 24/7 Golmud players got an invite to the Labs for testing.

UCAVs?

Level Cap Gaming used footage from our server for this vid.

Find yourself. I saw lots of our platoon and regulars names flying across the kill log.

Does BF6 have directional/angular damage models for vehicles yet?

SexyGoat also got a mention.

That reviewer just does not get the beauty of Golmud and its very little hiding areas. Apparently he has never stayed the A/B Bruce Hotels.

Yes, Ghost Gaming did an extensive damage test with varying degrees of angle on the front, back and sides.

Agreed, A and B have so much nuance to them and 3 levels too. Add the middle village and C and there is plenty of places to hide and attack from.

I hope they do not add more cover like some have mentioned. I think it will be a disaster and allow infantry to push tanks and IFVs back even further into their spawn.

UCAVs?

I dont think they have UCAVs yet but they do have motars. I know there was talk about adding back UCAVs so maybe that will be one of the weapons introduced when Golmud debuts

Imagine trying to moderate the AA to stay around A, B, and C?
Won't be able to get them out of the now heavily sheltered G or E flag.

They have UCAV`s in single player, i remember in one mission you fly them into enemy. Not sure in MP.

i have seen LevelCap joining the server O,o didnt knew he was doing some video

The AA is BF6 is garbage. The helos arent much better. Maybe the more open space of Golmud will improve them. In BF4, capping with vehicles is common. In BF6, its a death wish. If they dont clutter up the terrain, it might make the vehicles more interesting.

Any chance Golmud is on BF labs tonight?

UCAVs?

Haven't seen any yet but tanks get the option for manually tracking rounds. Also the vehicles have radio channels the driver can control.

Still pending little birds too.

The only thing I don't like about the aa is it doesn't even try to lock on if the aircraft is too low.

Definitely agree larger maps are needed, with more vehicles

Loved seeing this.....I didn't pay much attention to him talking, I was too busy picking out the name of his kills... Animal.. he did you dirty, and Stryker and Sexygoat made an appearance. I may have actually killed him in the past and not realized it was him.

I think its a good thing they will bring it to Labs for a few months to test out. Vehicles and Air really need tweaking if they want it to play like it should.

I dont know anyone whos been invited to Labs. I did the stress test but that was all.

Hopefully some vids start popping up on the Chinese sites that dont give a fuck about US and European NDAs LOL

I wonder how our graphics cards hold up under the stress of the brighter images. I know that my FPS was in the 50's with the 64 player maps.
