A recent Battlefield 6 update has adjusted the ticket count for Conquest mode to help matches finish without hitting the time limit. This change impacts all Conquest-supported maps.
Changes in Ticket Counts
The update reduces the starting ticket count on several Conquest maps. Notable reductions include Operation Firestorm and Mirak Valley, both decreased from 1,000 tickets to 700. Other maps like Siege of Cairo, Empire State, and Iberian Offensive have seen their counts drop to 900 tickets, while Liberation Peak and Manhattan Bridge have been adjusted to 800 tickets.
Developer’s Rationale and Community Feedback
According to the developer, the goal is to enable matches to conclude at a natural pace, addressing concerns that many rounds end due to a time limit rather than a team depleting their tickets. The team continues to monitor feedback to ensure a balanced game flow.
Community reaction has been mixed. Some players and commentators, like YouTuber MoiDawg, argue that removing the time limit instead of reducing tickets would better retain the excitement and strategic depth of Conquest matches. They feel this change might limit opportunities for large-scale action and comebacks.
