Battlefield Devs Love The Sniper Memes But Know They Have Work To Do

Between now and the launch of Battlefield 6 next month, Battlefield Studios and its developers will be working to refine the game based on what was learned during the recent beta test. Players have already shared their responses to the beta with some bitingly funny memes, including some about the game's sniper flare. The Battlefield 6 team has seen those pics, and they think they're hilarious.

Battlefield 6 technical director Christian Buhl and senior console combat designer Matthew Nickerson recently spoke with IGN about the upcoming release. When asked about the memes, Buhl admitted to laughing at them while also taking their points to heart.

"I saw those ... I thought it was hilarious," said Buhl. "Obviously, we needed to fix some things and tune some things, so it was funny to see players react in a humorous way to those things, but also great to get that feedback and say, 'We need to tune down snipers or we need to change the glints so it's not like…' you know? I saw those memes with the hillside just full of these giant glares."
