Battlefield: RedSec impresses with its performance, but is heavily criticized on Steam. BF6 players are complaining about three things

by

EA DICE released RedSec on October 28th, a free-to-play battle royale experience built within the Battlefield 6 universe. It’s designed to challenge popular games like Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite, Apex Legends, and PUBG. Despite some initial issues, the game is running very smoothly.

RedSec surprises with its performance

RedSec is a game where 100 players compete on a large map called Fort Lyndon, featuring a constantly shrinking play area – a common feature in this type of game. Recently, players have been concerned about how well the game runs. When it was discovered the game’s servers update only 30 times per second, David Sirland, the lead producer of Battlefield, responded to the feedback.

Okay, so the final boss fight runs at a smooth 60 frames per second, which is awesome! Sirland mentioned on X that even our 30 FPS version looks better than a lot of other games out there, and I definitely agree – it feels really solid.

Okay, so I was a little skeptical at first, but this is actually really good! I remember when Apex Legends first came out, it was running at like, 20 frames per second. And Warzone 2.0 usually sits around 20-24. But to get a solid 30 frames per second right away with 100 people all playing together? That’s seriously impressive tech.

Pros are hard to find

Although the game works well technically, players don’t seem very excited about it. On Steam, RedSec has received over 1600 reviews, but the overall feedback is mostly negative – only 39% of reviewers have a positive opinion. The main issues players are raising are three key complaints:

  1. no solo mode – players complain that they cannot play alone or disable automatic partner matchmaking;
  2. unreadable interface – some users criticize the UI, claiming it resembles a microtransaction store straight out of Call of Duty;
  3. forced battle royale challenges in basic mode – Battlefield 6 fans are not happy that RedSec challenges are present in standard multiplayer.

On the bright side, many players really enjoy the Fort Lyndon map, describing it as large, with plenty of opportunities for flanking maneuvers and interesting locations to explore. Some fans even believe maps like this should be included in the main version of Battlefield 6.
