Objective Ace and Winter Warning concerns close the year of Battlefield 6
While Battlefield 6 While enjoying much success, it hasn't all been smooth sailing. In December 2025, players started noticing problems with the aforementioned cosmetics and took their complaints online. A winter warning means a Battlefield 6 A player card sticker that raised eyebrows because it looks like it's AI-generated. Keen-eyed players are quick to point out how the M4A1 has two barrels, while the real gun and its Battlefield 6 There is only one version. The wielder's hand placement and overall style also raised doubts.
On the other hand, the objective is Ace Battlefield 6 A mask skin for which players noticed due to its strong resemblance to the logo Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Others thought that AI was also used in the creation of Objective Ace.
These concerns have been noted by developers, who are now taking steps to modify them. Changes to the two items are considered enough by players to be visible when the update lands in February. However, the changes may not be enough to satisfy all players. Battlefield 6 AI was reportedly used in the “preparatory stages” of its development, but according to DICE's VP general manager Rebecca Koutaj, players won't see AI on any assets or maps. The sticker in particular seems to indicate this has changed, although the studio hasn't officially said that the Winter Warning sticker uses AI-generated art.
Despite the concerns of gamers and developers, many game studios are moving forward with the use of AI in development at one stage or another. This has led to a lot of backlash from some players, a notable recent example being the response to Larian Studios announcing plans to use AI in future games. That ended when Larian decided to completely scrap the production of concept art using generative AI. It remains to be seen what the future holds for technology in game development, but for now, the negative feedback from players seems to be enough for studios to consider making changes.
