Battlefield 6 devs have been 'closely tracking player behaviour' to perfect maps and change objective layouts ahead of launch

It seems like everyone and their mum is getting ready for Battlefield 6's open beta, which is taking place later this week, and needless to say, there's been a shedload of preparation that's gone into it, including some scientific map reworks.

I say scientific in a relatively loose sense, as Battlefield Studios has taken data from what players have been doing in maps like Siege of Cairo and how they've navigated the location and made changes accordingly. They've even made a heat map overlay showing player movement, which looks very cool and is extremely impressive to someone like me who passed GCSE sciences and then never looked back.
