Battlefield 6's Top Gun collaboration is more involved than I expected, and it convinced me that Carrier Strike should be a permanent mode

Battlefield 6's fourth season has been a highlight. From introducing naval combat to the game to adding its largest map yet - there's a lot for older Battlefield fans to enjoy. That same cohort, I wager - counting myself among them - will naturally be very excited for Top Gun to cross over with Battlefield 6.

There's been one thought I haven't been able to shake during my time with Battlefield 6's upcoming Tsuru Reef map - the game's biggest yet, which arrives tomorrow with Season 4.
