Battlefield Remaster Maps Are Difficult For A Reason You May Not Expect Dev Says

Battlefield 6 brings back the fan-favorite Battlefield 3 map Operation Firestorm, but the process of remastering and updating the map--and remastering maps in general--wasn't simple, Battlefield Studios says.

In an interview with PCGamesN, design director Shashank Uchil said, "You wouldn't believe how difficult it is," and not necessarily for the reason you may expect.

Uchil said one part of what makes remaster maps challenging is the expectations players have. Battlefield 3 was released 14 years ago in 2011, and people may be remembering that version and feeling a certain fondness and nostalgia for it.
