Battlefield 2042

Battlefield 2042 includes all the features that have contributed to making Battlefield one of the most popular first-person shooting video game series. It offers you massive battles where you can put your tactical skills, aim, and reaction times to the test against many players, with realistic scenarios that you can destroy as you please and a unique approach to the action.

Battlefield 2042 marks the return to the iconic all-out warfare of the Battlefield franchise. It is set in 2042 during a major conflict between the USA and Russia. This first-person shooter features futuristic weapons, gadgets like deployable turrets and drones, and vehicles usable by the players. The game includes a new "Plus" system, which allows players to customize their weapons on the spot. Battlefield 2042 includes a wide variety of scenarios, all of them featuring destructible environments and dynamic weather with effects like sandstorms and tornadoes that will affect visibility or lift players, for instance. 

The game features several gameplay modes and has doubled the player count from previous games in the series. Conquest and Breakthrough offer massive battles and a unique experience for up to 128 players on PC and next-gen consoles, and 64 players on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. At the same time, those that want to enjoy a new type of gameplay will find themselves at home with Hazard Zone, a modern take on squad-based multiplayer.

Conquest features all-out battles in huge maps that have been specifically designed for this. The action is divided into "clusters" of various kinds where two factions combat against each other to capture control points; once the control points in a sector are captured, the faction will control said sector.

Breakthrough sees the return of two teams, Attackers and Defenders in maps where one team must try to capture another team's control points. The defending team must prevent that at all costs. A vast battlefield allows for more tactical choices through each game.

Both modes will be playable across seven different maps that will take players to a variety of locations all over the world, including South Korea, Singapore, French Guiana, India, Egypt, and Antarctica. Each of them will feature different objectives and scenarios, ranging from controlling an important network hub or a technology center to recovering stolen nuclear assets.

Battlefield Portal adds even more possibilities to the game with community-created game modes and endless options to customize weapons, gear, rules, and more in this creative sandbox mode. Replay classic experiences with select content from Battlefield 1942 (Battle of the Bulge and El Alamein), Battlefield 3 (Caspian Border and Noshahr Canals), and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (Africa Harbor and Valparaiso), or leverage the modern content from the world of Battlefield 2042 to discover, create, and share something completely new.

Battlefield 2042 overhauls the class system by adding ten different "specialists" at launch, with a new one released each season and four seasons per year. They will use various gadgets in combat to perform specific roles and add another layer of strategic complexity to the game.

Some good examples of these include the following:

Kimble "Irish" Graves uses the DCS Deployable Cover to protect his allies, and his APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel can take down enemy explosive projectiles before they can cause any harm.

Wikus "Casper" Van Daele. This South African operator specializes in reconnaissance with an OV-P Recon Drone and is able to detect people sneaking nearby with a movement sensor.

Webster Mackay is a nimble Canadian operator specialized in assaults and able to break in from unexpected positions thanks to his grappling hook.

Maria Falck is a German operator whose S21 Syrette Pistol allows her to treat injured allies and revive them to full health from a distance.

Pyotr "Boris" Guskovsky is a Russian engineer that can deploy an SG-36 Sentry Gun and boost its performance when he is close.

Players can also take part in seasonal events with each season introducing new content such as maps, weapons, gadgets, vehicles, and more. Battlefield 2042 offers an exciting experience for both veteran Battlefield fans as well as newcomers alike with its expansive maps, intense battles, cutting-edge arsenal of weapons and vehicles, seasonal updates, and much more!
