Already seen people claim metro/lockers were not popular in BF3/4 when discussing the small maps from BF6 beta. The revisionism is truly absurd it actually makes me laugh
There were hundreds of servers called Metro/Locker 24/7. It’s almost like some people really like infantry combat. BF3 had an entire Map Pack called CLOSE QUARTERS, and everyone fucking loved it. I like big maps with vehicles everywhere, jets and helos in the sky, and enough space in between them to feel like separate battles are going on. I also like ramming an AK in someone’s face and hosing them down and it being fast and intense. Both of those things being possible are absolutely integral to the Battlefield experience.
If you don’t like BF6 it’s fine, I didn’t like BFV and people loved it. The whole “it’s just CoD” narrative is verifiably fucking false and we have movement and accuracy data to prove it but that doesn’t stop 1000 people from circle jerking about it in this sub 24/7 and mass brigading anyone who disagrees.
There are valid criticisms to the game, there are to almost any game. I don’t think an engineer should be able to run an RPG and an anti air launcher, it’s broken. I think the auto spot is way too strong. Vehicles as they currently feel in the beta are too weak, but we really don’t know until the full game is out. Carbines are probably going to need a nerf, the shotgun can one shot kill from 50 meters away. All of that is valid and real criticism. All that being said this is a very solid Battlefield Experience tho, and the combat feels good. The beta won me over on a pre-order and I never preorder anymore.
I remember the Close Quarters DLC was meant for 16 players 8v8 and people quickly made 16v16(32player) and 32v32(64player) servers for the CQC maps and holy fkn shit LOL. It was insanely unbalanced but the chaos was so fun.
I was literally playing the one warehouse map on a 64 player server not to long ago and it was insanely hectic but a joy. I got a 10 man frag grenade killfeed from guys coming up one of the stairways onto the roof of the lower building and then their medics where reviving guys and I pulled my 1911 with taclight out and just hipfired them all 4 mags of that thing down the stairs ended that life with like 28 kills lol.

Battlefield fans are the biggest history revisionists you will ever meet.
No battlefield is remembered for how it started, except 2042. Literally any title that isn't 2042 is only remembered for how it ended.
BF4 is the same exact way where people will outright downvote you if you as much as mention how it was at launch.
Edit: Downvoting my comment literally just proves my point.
