Battlefield 6 Beta’s Second Weekend Introduces New Playlists and a Custom Search Feature Lacking a Key Element

So, here I am, diving headfirst into the final weekend of the Battlefield 6 beta. It’s like, boom, we’re back in the madness — but this time, with a twist, right? New maps, Empire State, woohoo! And guess what? Some brand new modes! It’s like they heard us or something.

Predictable bits mixed with “who saw that coming?” moves. That’s DICE for you, always a bit of mystery wrapped in, well, more mystery. Or maybe, just their coffee kicking in. No idea.

New map, Empire State, swoops in, then the Rush and Squad Deathmatch appear, as if we weren’t already hooked. The game’s home screen now doubles as a DJ booth, rotating playlists every day. But hold on — don’t hold your breath expecting all your faves to play together daily. It’s a roulette game where you just might hit the jackpot. Or, maybe, a bummer.

Here’s something nifty: Custom Search! It’s not exactly your snooty server browser. DICE is whispering promises of one, in a cryptic kinda way. This is more like a “choose your adventure” but sometimes you end up in Narnia instead of the Wild West. Pick your faves and cross your fingers.

But there’s a catch! You can only shimmy around Open Weapon modes — don’t ask me why. No Closed Weapon shenanigans here.

Oh, and ever checked that playlist rotation schedule? It’s like a quirky little guidebook through Wonderland — unexpected at every turn. It tells you what adventure your day might take… and occasionally leaves you scratching your head.

Alright, playlist enthusiasts, here we go:

Day One – Thursday, August 14

• Conquest.
• Rush.
• Attack & Defend (a hodgepodge of Breakthrough, Rush).
• Close Quarters: speed-demon territory (Domination, King of the Hill).
• Closed Weapons (Conquest, Breakthrough).

Day Two – Friday, August 15

• Conquest.
• Squad Deathmatch.
• Close Quarters again with a twist (Domination, King of the Hill, Squad Deathmatch).
• All-Out Warfare: expansive craziness (Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush).
• More Closed Weapons (Conquest, Breakthrough).

Days Three & Four – Saturday, August 16 & Sunday, August 17

• Conquest.
• Close Quarters speeding by (Domination, King of the Hill, Squad Deathmatch).
• All-Out Warfare: total chaotic expanse (Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush).
• The infamous Closed Weapons returns again (Conquest, Breakthrough).

Anyway, there it is. Another weekend navigating the (not so) orderly chaos of Battlefield 6. Beta seems to be spicing things up, and, honestly, I’m all in — real talk.
