With the larger number of players per map (sometimes with AI bots) there always seems to be a fight no matter where you go. Controlling the most sectors drains the enemy teams tickets faster in addition to kills. On these new 128-player maps the chaos becomes two-fold with some sectors having multiple capture points. A look at the game’s main menu.Ĭonquest has always been my favourite mode in the series, and Battlefield 2042 is no different. Astray from previous renditions of the Battlefield series, Battlefield 2042 features no single-player campaign mode of any kind. It features full cross-play capability which can be enabled or disabled from the options menu. There is also a squad-based “Hazard Zone” as well as the new Battlefield Portal. It boasts an ambitious 128-player “All-Out Warfare” on current-gen platforms with the familiar conquest and breakthrough modes. Unlike focusing on epic battles of the past as in Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V, it is set in a near-future scenario that locks the forces of Russia and the US in conflict. Gameplayīattlefield 2042 turns the series back toward the modern era. What is the go-to series that you’ve spent many long days and nights on? Let me know below after you take a few minutes to see how this latest rendition is shaping up. I expect that my time in BF2042 will be up there as well. Especially on Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 with 690 and 756 hours respectively with less in Battlefield V (303 hours). Between then and now I put in a great number of hours in the series. When I first heard that Battlefield 2042 was going to be coming out this year I couldn’t be more stoked to add it to my library. Battlefield 2 came out shortly after that and I was in for the long haul. I have been a fan of the Battlefield series since I built my first PC in college and picked up Battlefield 1942 to try. Much like my bullets, Battlefield 2042 misses the mark Regardless, Battlefield 2042 is currently available for purchase on PC via Steam, Origin, and Epic as well as Xbox Series X/S/One and PlayStation 5/4. Others believe that DICE took Battlefield 2042 out of the oven too soon due to deadlines set by publisher Electronic Arts. Some feel that DICE has made poor development decisions with some of its changes to the game. Despite the new venue for vehicular and infantry combat, the Battlefield games are known for, it has been met with some harsh criticism from long-time fans of the series. The latest instalment of the Battlefield series has come to life with Battlefield 2042.
