Fresh off a record-breaking debut, Battlefield 6 has players glued to their screens, as its battlefields appear to be pulled straight out of a textbook. ElAnalistaDeBits has broken down this illusion in a new video, juxtaposing in-game views with drone footage and street-level images of the real-life locations.
Let’s start with Gibraltar’s Iberian Offensive map, where the Mediterranean sun beats down on granite sides that resemble nature’s own fortification. ElAnalistaDeBits starts by comparing a wide view of the game’s cable car station to genuine photos from the same angle, taken on a clear afternoon. The stone outcrops are nearly identical, right down to how erosion has cut out uneven ledges from which soldiers can climb or snipe. In the game, the rocks cast shadows that move with the light, while a short pan to the harbor below reveals ships bobbing in pixelated waves that match the choppy real-world ocean footage.

Zoom in on a cluster of military bunkers on the hillside, which are World War II antiques that remain today. The video overlays bunker doors and rusting railings, and the resemblance is striking. The crumbling concrete in the game looks exactly like the images, with rebar poking through at the same angles. The developers even got the faded paint on the warning signs right, with the blocky text partially destroyed by decades of wind. Fire a few shots in-game, and debris scatters realistically, just as real shrapnel would chip away at the stone.
As you cross the Atlantic to New York’s Empire State Map, the mood shifts from rocky remoteness to metropolitan chaos. ElAnalistaDeBits presents the Empire State Building as the anchor, which towers over midtown in both universes. The video, shot from a rooftop in the game, contrasts the building’s setbacks and floodlit crown with nighttime drone footage. The in-game version shows a little distortion of heat haze rising from vents, simulating summer evenings when the city breathes.
The Manhattan Bridge deserves a closer look, with its Gothic arches spanning the East River like a steel ribbon. The comparison separates the screen at the bridge’s entry ramps, where suspension cables make exact parabolic arcs that correspond to engineering plans. Real-world photographs reveal the green patina on those cables, which has faded from years of fog and rain, and Battlefield 6 recreates it with a texture that shifts under bright light—rusty greens give way to metallic sheen. A notable sequence happens during a virtual foot chase over the span: the film syncs shaky cam footage to genuine shaky cam footage from a cyclist’s GoPro, and the deck swing feels identical, down to the vibration from rumbling trucks.
