Operation REBIRTH: 21st Century Warfare Returns for Battlefield 6
Large-scale, organized Battlefield is back.
If you’ve been around Battlefield for a while, you probably know the name 21st Century Warfare (21CW) – one of the original, long-running tournament communities going back to the Desert Combat / BF1942 days.
Now we’re coming back for Battlefield 6 with a full-scale relaunch called Operation REBIRTH, and we’re excited to use TGN as our official home for news, AARs, and campaign coverage.
What is 21CW?
21CW is a persistent-war Battlefield tournament built around:
If you’ve ever wanted Battlefield to feel like a living war instead of just a lobby browser, that’s what 21CW is built for.
Custom Campaign Maps with LT D.A.L.E.
We’re not just playing stock rotations.
21CW has a strategic partnership with map maker LT D.A.L.E., who is building bespoke Battlefield 6 Portal maps for our campaigns:
Our goal is simple: if you’re tired of the same public server map loop, 21CW is where you come to fight over hand-crafted campaign battlefields.
How the Campaign Works
Each campaign is fought over a strategic map (think Ukraine-style front lines) broken into sectors. Divisions fight to:
At the end of each operation, the campaign map updates, territories change hands, and the story of the war moves forward.

Whether you’re a returning 21CW veteran or brand new to organized Battlefield, there’s a place for you—infantry, armor, air, logistics, and command.

We’re bringing back the old-school campaign feel—scheduled operations, rivalries, and long-form stories—on top of modern tools:

What is 21CW?
21CW is a persistent-war Battlefield tournament built around:
- Divisions vs Divisions – Two main factions battle over a strategic campaign map.
- Companies & Captains – Each division fields multiple companies led by Captains and overseen by a Battlefield CO (BFCO).
- Organized Operations – Weekly practice nights and a 12-hour Saturday operation window where the campaign actually moves.
- Full server play – 32v32 servers with dedicated officer slots and coordinated VOIP (in-game, TeamSpeak, and Discord).
- Teamwork over K/D – Logistics, armor, infantry, air, and commanders all working together for territory control.

Custom Campaign Maps with LT D.A.L.E.
We’re not just playing stock rotations.
21CW has a strategic partnership with map maker LT D.A.L.E., who is building bespoke Battlefield 6 Portal maps for our campaigns:
- Large-scale battlefields tuned for 21CW play
- Working team switch logic and tournament-friendly rules
- Air-heavy and armor-heavy layouts with room for combined arms
- Super-sized fights that still respect competitive balance
Our goal is simple: if you’re tired of the same public server map loop, 21CW is where you come to fight over hand-crafted campaign battlefields.
How the Campaign Works
Each campaign is fought over a strategic map (think Ukraine-style front lines) broken into sectors. Divisions fight to:
- Capture and hold territories during the Saturday operation window
- Coordinate across time zones to keep slots manned for the full op
- Use weekly practices to drill tactics, testing new map updates
At the end of each operation, the campaign map updates, territories change hands, and the story of the war moves forward.
