Battlefield 6 has received a map with Season 2, which is reportedly set in Bavaria. The Twitch streamer Mango has closely examined the map and found serious flaws in compliance with various German laws.
Which map is it about? Season 2 brought the map “Contaminated” into play. It is set in the south of Germany, presumably in Bavaria. Accordingly, the mountainous landscape and the houses remind one of it, even though the developers made some changes to facilitate destruction.
The Twitch streamer Mango is stricter in this regard. In a video, he examined the map painstakingly for small and large errors and checked whether the battlefield could really exist in Germany.
A Nightmare for DIN Fans
How did the test go? The streamer thoroughly examined the design of the map and found significant flaws.
While some elements, such as the height of signs and passages, may be correct – according to the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), they must be 4.50 meters high – the reflections on the signs are another story.
They are missing when illuminated with a lamp, which constitutes a major violation: “DIN 67520 is certainly not fulfilled with this road sign,” Mango concludes. What a pity.
According to Mango, the map also leaves much to be desired when it comes to securing a construction site. A corresponding warning sign stands far too close to the dangerous spot, which would also violate StVO and RSA traffic safety regulations.
When looking at the tunnel on the map, there is also only shaking of heads: Mango notes the absence of official tunnel markings, and a sign used would not exist in the StVO at all. Additionally, the handrails by the stairs in the tunnel have deficiencies and would not comply with the requirements of DIN 18040 and DIN 18065.
Of course, the TÜV is also involved and would have a lot to say about various plaques: On the map, there is a vehicle whose inspection would be due in 2007. However, Battlefield 6 is set in 2027/28. Oh dear …
What is the conclusion? The streamer finds numerous other errors in his video that make the existence of this place within Germany highly unlikely. He draws his conclusion: “I fear we are not in Bavaria here. I think we are in a Bavaria as imagined by an American.”
Some details did positively surprise Mango, but overall the map fails under the standards set. Will the Battlefield studios soon receive a complaint letter from German authorities? Well, we shall see. Season 3 has already begun and MeinMMO editor Dariusz was able to play a familiar map: I tested Golmud Railway in Battlefield 6 and then played the original again – One version is significantly better!
