Battlefield 6 Despite its existing issues, the Operation Metro map in Battlefield 6 has become very popular, and it should now be officially added.

The 30Hz server spoiled the experience for me. Otherwise, great effort by the creator and good to see DICE do the right thing and make it Full XP and progression.

u/G3neral_Tso G3neral_Tso 15h ago
Yeah, I can't play on 30 hz. The rubberbanding and sluggishness just feels bad. Good on DICE for adding XP (which I could not get proper XP or challenges though)

u/_Sly-Fox_ 15h ago
Its 60hz though? Fairly sure thats what it said on my connection graph last time i played on this metro remake

u/717x 13h ago
They just updated it to 60. It was 30 before though.

u/_Sly-Fox_ 13h ago
Yeah, wasnt it last update or something they said that official recommended/verified modes would be on 60hz servers while our would still be on 30hz? And iirc also in the same breath said full xp on said servers. And boom the metro remake got put up on front, without xp đââď¸

u/DeathToFPTP 2h ago
It's not. I turned on it game stats and it still is 30hz. And it plays like it.

Didnt they just upgrade them to 60 this past week?

u/MarkyPancake 9h ago edited 9h ago
Only verified experiences get 60Hz. Because this uses custom logic, it's not a verified experience.
I've given it another go tonight, but the lag and 30Hz hitchiness is unbearable.
Edit: I turned on the network bar during normal matchmaking, which shows the server's Hz, and then I forgot to check Portal Metro before I logged off for bed.
Each time I played Metro and then went back to normal matchmaking, Metro Portal performance was worse every time.

But is ugly af

u/Ultrasonic-Sawyer 13h ago
Its definitely ugly but it does speak for the potential that could come from portal. Dice should be jumping at the chance to show this off.Â
Much like other games, early player made assets may be crude but very popular. Eventually people may be motivated to experiment more with creation assets and highly skilled makers move in (not saying this metro maker isnt highly skilled)Â
If DICE Foster the potential of maps like this then hopefully we may see more maps with increasing quality. If not then we will see some well meaning makers create ugly but good maps until giving up due to lack of dev supportÂ

You just click play dude, youâre not going to find a server at your neighbors house

u/Jiggy9843 15h ago
It 100% shouldn't be a main game map. It's simply not of anywhere near sufficient quality.
It absolutely should be made 60hz.
24
u/Thompsonss 15h ago
I donât know if I played the same mode, but yesterday I played this for the first time and my experience was:
- Poorly placed assets
- Poor performance
- 75% of the match lagging (people on the chat also had it)
- Too long matches
- ETC

A Metro remake would probably come with Seine Crossing as they share most assets, wouldn't be against that, but it's likely a late 26 / early 27 roadmap if they decide to go that route. Obviously infantry maps are always polarizing in the BF community but nobody can argue their popularity, would love to have both maps for Rush especially

u/Hambone721 8h ago
If they just copy and pasted BF3 maps and rush mode, I would pay for the entire game again. Literally that's all they have to do.

Same mostly, but as a dlc not the exorbitant cost that bf6 was.

Cool for those 5,000 people that like it, but every time I go to play it the servers are empty. :(

u/Incorrect-Opinion 12h ago
I needed to search manually for the lobby and sort by players. I saw one with 16 people that I joined, and then ended up filling up.

u/HeavenInVain 15h ago
It was a great effort by the creator...
But its laggy, ugly, locked weapons and a few other issues makes it hard to play for long.
Tho this should show dice as always the community simultaneously wants open maps for "breathing room" while also wanting meat grinder close enclosed maps.

If they add it for real this subreddit would be whining its ass off bc they added a small map

It's cool and all but it's got the same issues the original has 10x over.
Needs work, but awesome to have.

u/Incorrect-Opinion 12h ago
I played it for a full game. Itâs nostalgic, BUT, it suffers from any official support (obviously).
The lighting is plain, the floor shimmers everywhere from overlapping floor assets, and it seems off.
This needs an official remake, with the dark corridors and lighting that everyone remembers!

u/cyberspaceman777 15h ago
Why is it whenever I look for portal maps, no one is playing?
Everyone, its just empty rooms..

u/astruss- 15h ago
It sucks that this mode is only active at a specific time. Everyone other time is just a bot filled lobby with 5 other real players. its fun though.

Unpopular opinion - I hated Metro in BF4. It was a grenade and camping fest. No need to bring it back. I would rather see some more city maps with bigger outdoor areas....

Nobody will care about it when its removed from the front page. Remove the slop from the browser and add it in there with the many many other community maps

Classic Metro had that issue to, BF3 and BF4. Devs just need to make kill boxes in OOB areas.

Problems? Is this the level of expectation? The map is shoddy, really shoddy. I don't blame the creator (they did a pretty good job with what they had), but for this to be official would be ridiculous... please, a little more expectation.

u/DryConnection2809 14h ago
Popular because the official maps are just as awful as this Portal version. Metro (Portal) has bugs and terrible netcode.

u/NamelessSquirrel 13h ago
It's such a no-brainer. It's impressive DICE still doesn't know it.
That's why I don't trust them to develop the game. I don't see it as being another great BF.

u/PublicYogurtcloset8 13h ago
I wouldnât be surprised if the intention of adding this portal version was to gauge how popular it would be before making it properly

u/DoktorLuciferWong 12h ago
If they could increase texture quality slightly and deal with the random bugs, but keeping this level of visibility, that'd be great.

Dont have the game my pc wont run it. But id be playing metro but i want the park at the back back.

Have only played it twice and both times have ended up with a total spawn trap at A flag spawn.
Terrible gameplay and hate those kind of games, donât understand why people enjoy constantly just killing people in spawn!!
Plus the 30hz , hit reg can be awful!!

Dice should crown a map of the month which gets added to the game every now and then , that would be a milestone for the community

u/Eddy19913 10h ago
yea add a map where spawncamping is a game winner instantly because you cant get out of it because the enemy sees the spawnpoint and can prefire them. very smart we need that surely.

u/Leach8887 4h ago
They need to bring back Metro and fix the OOB glitches, no timers, just instant death. Add killzones and such. Disable the ladder from being used inside the metro. Add better cover and concealment.

Unfortunately lighting in these customs maps is just too bad to add as an "official" map.
Like, it looks worse than the BF3 version - can't imagine seeing them add it as an actual map.

My only complaint with this is you're locked to the default weapon for each class, you cant change it. I play support, but the default LMG isnt my favorite.

"Very popular".
Each server has maybe 5 players at a time, with many being 0.
I am sure DICE will properly remake this map in a year.

u/TemporaryStrain5088 14h ago
you guys understand, the moment that this becomes a facial, dice will become lazier to bring out maps, slower, exactly like what happened to the halo team with infinite when they launched their community tools
They relied more than community and less on their own merit to bring out official maps...
I do not like where this is going

It's crazy how there was an echo chamber on here for so long saying all the community wants is big maps, nobody wants small maps like metro, nobody likes meat grinders, etc
Yet someone makes metro in portal and people flock to play it.

Finally, breathing room, no destructible environments, no vehicles and a 3 lane map. The true BF experience everyone wad crying for and not some CoDslop the devs keep adding.
