Battlefield 6 Fan Pitch Proposes Bold New Twist for Conquest Mode

A Battlefield 6 player has sparked discussion across the community with a fresh idea to add more map variety to Conquest—suggesting that the iconic mode should be playable on the game’s REDSEC battle royale map, Fort Lyndon. While the concept has gained traction online, it has also sparked debate about whether DICE could—or should—bring it to life.

A Fresh Spin on Conquest: Bringing Fort Lyndon Into the Mix

Reddit user the_shortbus_ shared the proposal, imagining how Conquest could integrate select portions of the massive REDSEC map. While not advocating for the entire battle royale space to be played in a single match, they instead suggested dividing Fort Lyndon into smaller, self-contained Conquest arenas.

For players who enjoy Fort Lyndon but aren’t fans of the BR format, this approach could offer the best of both worlds. The user noted that the open areas could also “give aircraft room to breathe,” addressing long-standing community requests for more dynamic air combat zones.

The post quickly drew attention, climbing in upvotes and sparking creative replies—including mockups of how Fort Lyndon might be cleanly sectioned into three unique Conquest maps.

Battlefield Fans Split on the Feasibility

While many loved the idea, not everyone was convinced it could work.

Critics highlighted several hurdles:

• Current Conquest maps still need fixes, and adding new ones built from REDSEC might stretch the developers thin.

• Fort Lyndon wasn’t designed for traditional multiplayer, meaning key areas might not be optimized for Conquest flow.

• Some fear the mode could inherit REDSEC’s issues—such as reports of lag, sparse lobbies, and uneven pacing.

It’s worth noting that parts of the REDSEC map already appear in Battlefield 6’s Portal mode, though fans have voiced similar concerns about performance and population there.

Others pitched alternative uses, suggesting Fort Lyndon could support a mode similar to Battlefield 1’s Operations, where the massive map layout would shine.

What’s Next for Battlefield 6?

Despite various launch and post-launch issues, Battlefield 6 continues to maintain strong player numbers, especially on Steam. As the Winter Offensive update arrives on December 9, players can look forward to the new Ice Lock Empire State map—while the fate of the fan-suggested Conquest redesign remains uncertain.

Whether or not REDSEC ever joins Conquest, one thing is clear: the Battlefield community is eager for bold, creative additions to keep the action evolving.
