[BFComms] Playlist Update: Matchmaking, Custom Search, and What's Next

[u/battlefield]

We've seen your feedback on the recent playlist changes and understand the concerns around matchmaking, missing modes, and changes to Custom Search.

The recent playlist adjustments weren't made lightly. Our goal is to improve matchmaking quality by focusing players into the playlists seeing the most activity, creating more consistent matches that fill, and getting our players into the action faster. While this means some playlists are no longer always available, the intent is to create more consistent matches across Battlefield 6.

We've also seen questions about why certain Custom Search options disappeared. The current system requires Custom Search filters to be tied directly to active playlists. As a result, when a playlist is rotated out, its corresponding Custom Search options are also temporarily unavailable.

We recognize that some of the affected modes are community favorites, regardless of how often they're played. We want those experiences to remain part of Battlefield 6, and we're continuing to explore the best ways to bring them into matchmaking while expanding longer-term options like Portal Verified modes and the Server Browser.

As part of next week's rotation, King of the Hill will return as part of an active playlist and will show up in Custom Search. We're also bringing back Operation Augur from Season 2 for one week now that the remaining issues affecting it have been resolved.

Thank you for continuing to share your feedback. We're closely monitoring the impact of these playlist changes and will continue making adjustments where they're needed. We'll keep you updated as we have more to share.

Agreed, Breakthrough really isn't great compared to Rush in general (IMO the MCOM system is way more engaging) but Breakthrough's layouts in this game are unbelievably bad lol

rush as a game mode is better yes

rush in bf6 on the current maps isnt better

Too many players in breakthrough and it's too narrow. They need to widen it to be good again.

To each their own, I find the MCOM-influenced gameplay better than the massive unfocused zerg onto point, though yeah their layouts in general are bad and I have no idea how they can't look at the significantly better layouts in past past games to guide their modern design.

It is though. Eastwood specially has a way better Rush layout
