Battlefield 6's second open beta weekend is off to a poor start, with players saying the return of Rush is so bad "it's like [EA] never played it"

Fans aren't feeling the Rush

My weekend plans are ruined. Battlefield 6 beta players are reporting the classic Rush game mode is utterly broken, with weapons locked to open, non-persistent servers leading to issues with what side and map you play on, and a lack of space between objectives.

Rush is my all-time favorite Battlefield game mode, so this news hits quite hard. I loved playing 24/7 Rush Metro on Battlefield 3, but according to Twitter and Reddit, Rush is dead before it arrived properly - until the devs fix it, anyway.

We were previously told that there would be options to choose between open and closed weapon classes – the former meaning a Recon could have an assault rifle or LMG and an Engineer could pack a sniper rifle – but Rush is locked to open. This decision isn't popular.
