The second phase of the open beta of Battlefield 6 starts today, Thursday, August 14, and in addition to expanding the available content, it introduces one of the most requested features by players.

This feature, implemented as a result of community suggestions, will allow us to combine our favorite mode and map so that the system prioritizes matches with those conditions. For example, you can select Conquest on Cairo Conquest and more easily enter servers with that configuration. Although it doesn’t replace a traditional server browser, it’s a significant improvement for those seeking more tailored experiences.
