Battlefield Portal Squad Spectator Modifier
-
You can now enable squad spectating in the Battleground portal customization experience. This allows you to spectate your squadmates after dying and then re-enter the deployment screen to redeploy, similar to the experience in the Danger Zone.
-
As part of this update we will also be introducing the ability to disable the button on this spectator screen, which will prevent you from redeploying, allowing for a custom experience with a “one-shot” or “tactical squad” mode while still allowing spectating of your immediate squad.
AI, Soldiers, and General Improvements
-
Players will now see a Cross-Play Status Indicator in the Main Menu if they currently have Cross-Play turned off.

We have expanded the individual player colors feature to include more HUD elements. You can set your own colors which will be visible to you in the Options > HUD section.

Battlefield 2042
Battlefield 2042 is a video game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It was released on November 19, 2021, for various gaming platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Unlike previous games in the series, this game is entirely focused on multiplayer gameplay and does not have a single-player campaign.
The game performed poorly with critics and players, being criticized for technical issues, missing features, and altered gameplay. Additionally, it failed to meet sales expectations set by Electronic Arts.
In terms of setting, Battlefield 2042 is set in the near future, providing players with futuristic weapons, equipment and vehicles. The game is centered around intense multiplayer combat, and includes elements such as Levolution from Battlefield 4, as well as extreme weather effects such as tornadoes and sandstorms.
Despite initial challenges and criticism, the game introduced new features such as the “Plus” system (which allows for on-the-fly customization of weapons) and a revised class system (where players control specialists with unique skills and gadgets).
Battlefield 2042 Gameplay
Battlefield 2042’s gameplay is centered around a fast-paced, multiplayer first-person shooter experience. Players are immersed in a near-future setting with advanced weaponry, equipment such as deployable turrets and drones, and controllable vehicles. A notable feature is that players can request a vehicle airdrop to any location, which adds strategic depth to the game.
A major change to the class system that sets Battlefield 2042 apart is that it replaces the traditional four classes with specialists for classic roles such as Assault, Engineer, Medic, and Scout. Each specialist can use any unlocked weapon or equipment, bringing flexibility to the player’s choices.
The game offers three main game modes. Total War includes familiar modes such as Conquest and Breakthrough, with up to 128 players on next-generation platforms and 64 players on previous-generation platforms. Battlefield Portals allows the community to create custom multiplayer game modes using maps from previous Battlefield games.
Finally, Danger Zone introduces cooperative multiplayer gameplay, with teams racing to extract data drives from a fallen satellite while battling AI-controlled enemies. Battlefield 2042 aims to deliver a diverse and dynamic multiplayer experience through a range of maps, modes and innovative gameplay elements.
