Battlefield 2042 game information
The “Battlefield” series consists of first-person shooter games produced by Swedish EA DICE and published by Electronic Arts. The original version was Battlefield 1942, released in 2002, which ran on Microsoft Windows and OS X. As of August 2012, more than 50 million players around the world have played the “Battlefield” series.
Battlefield 2042 incorporates the series’ iconic features, including Left Evolution and destructible environments from Battlefield 4, as well as extreme weather phenomena such as tornadoes and sandstorms that impact gameplay. The initial release includes seven maps, with “Breakaway” being the largest map in the series’ history.
The game’s core modes include Total War, which includes the series’ staples Breakthrough and Conquest. In Conquest, teams compete for control points; when all points in an area are locked, the area belongs to the controlling team. A breakout is when one team captures another team’s control point while the other team defends.
“Battlefield 2042” was released on November 19, 2021. It is a first-person shooter developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. As the twelfth major entry in the Battlefield series, the game is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S platforms. Unlike previous works, “Battlefield 2042” exclusively provides multiplayer gameplay and omits a single-player campaign.
Notably, it introduced cross-platform play for the first time. Reviews from critics were mixed, with players expressing dissatisfaction with technical glitches, feature limitations, and changes to gameplay mechanics. Unfortunately, “Battlefield 2042” failed to meet Electronic Arts’ sales expectations.
Battlefield 2042 gameplay
Similar to its predecessor, Battlefield 2042 prioritizes multiplayer gameplay within the framework of a first-person shooter. The game is set in the near future, showcasing futuristic weapons, gadgets like deployable turrets and drones, and drivable vehicles. Players have the ability to summon vehicles to designated locations through airdrops.
The introduction of the “Plus” system allows for instant weapon customization. The career system has undergone a major overhaul, replacing the four established professions with specialists aligned with traditional battlefield roles (Assault, Engineer, Medic, and Reconnaissance). Each expert has access to any unlocked weapons and gadgets, and has unique skills and equipment. For example, Emma “Sundance” Rozier is equipped with a wingsuit, while Maria Falk has a healing pistol.
Both modes allow AI-controlled players to participate. Matches support up to 128 players on PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S, while PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can host up to 64 players. Cross-platform play, a first for the series, is available between PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S versions, but is limited to players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The second major mode, Battlefield Portal, enables the community to create a customized multiplayer experience. Utilizing maps from previous Battlefield games such as Battlefield 1942, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 3, players can modify core game elements through web-based scripting applications.
Finally, the cooperative “Danger Zone” mode requires teams to retrieve and extract data drives from fallen satellite debris while battling AI-controlled opponents. Successful extractions will earn players “Dark Market Points” that can be used to acquire weapons and upgrades unique to the mode.
