Ghost Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) There will be three different editions of the game. Standard, Gold, and Ultimate. There will be an early access to the Open Beta. “U.S.A. and Russia stand at the brink of war. Proxy wars have waged for decades, generating experienced but displaced combat veterans. These Specialists use their skills to shape the future — a future worth fighting for.” “Battlefield 2042 introduces 7 vast maps for up to 128* players. From Seoul’s cities to Egypt’s deserts, every map offers a unique experience based on the natural environment. “Customize weapons, gadgets and vehicles in-battle to tip the scales in your favor. Summon a robotic dog built for battle, employ a grappling hook or don your very own wingsuit. “Choose your role on the battlefield and form hand-tailored squads through the new Specialist system. Based on Battlefield’s four Classes, Specialists have one unique Specialty and Trait – but the rest of the loadout is fully customizable.” Perks: Open Beta early access, Baku ACB-90 melee takedown knife, “Mr. Chompy” Epic Weapon Charm, "Landfall" Player Card Background, "Old Guard" Tag 4 New Specialists (1 per Season of the Year 1 Pass), 4 Battle Passes (1 per Season of the Year 1 Pass), 3 Epic Skin Bundles (”Blistered Earth”, ”Tempest”, and ”Cold Blood”) "Shadow Stalker" Legendary Outfit, "Obsidian" Legendary Weapon Skin, "Onyx" Legendary Vehicle Skin" Official Digital Artbook and Exclusive Digital Soundtrack Images: Spoiler Edited June 9, 2021 by Ghost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastMinuteSavior Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Would love it if it played like Battlefield 3 or even 4. But it probably won't. They watered down the franchise to appease to casual players and it only got worse with each of DiCE's releases. I really desliked Battlefront 2, and couldn't get myself to play Battlefield V because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it gives them time to come up with a good single player campaign for the next Battlefield after (hopefully Bad Company 3). No free upgrade from PS4>PS5. Correction: The gold edition has a cross-gen bundle. After trying out the beta, I'll make a decision on purchasing it.

Mr_Marty84 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 You got a typo in the title. You have another battlefield. It is 2042, you have 2024 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Will be interesting how goes with bigger player limits, no SP is no shock 5's was awful. I would rather next BF SP be in Bad Company 3 if ever comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1c0live Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 It's crazy how they priced the PS5 Ultimate Edition for US$ 119.99, it seems a little too much for me for a digital version of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlindMango Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) When I first heard rumors of it being in the future I was kind of sad because I thought it was gonna have cheesy jetpacks and Halo spaceships everywhere, but this game actually looks pretty grounded with believable technology, I think it looks like it'll be quite fun! Really sad to see no single player though?? I bet this game could have such an awesome story mode Jackfrags has a great video talking about quite a lot more details than the trailer showed Edited June 9, 2021 by BlindMango 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshFromThaDeli Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I like what I saw in the trailer. Slowly working towards getting every Battlefield game complete on my profile (except 40k kills on Hardline). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This trailer literally screamed Only In Battlefield with key references from their previous games such as using a quad bike to take down a Little Bird, or shooting a Jett with a SMAW. This game is an Arcade shooter. Glad they went back this route instead of what COD has been doing. it’s supposed to be fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only played Hardline and enjoyed it quite a bit. I own 4, 1, and V after getting them all dirt cheap but BF 1 interests me the most. V would too but only got so-so reviews. I played the recent CoD Modern Warfare and loved the single player. So fun. Look forward to playing Cold War. Always hated Halo and futuristic shooters so at least this one is not going THAT over the top but the demo looked like a Michael Bay movie or a scene out of Just Cause, lol. There will obviously be over-the-top action moments but they should be halfway believable or you lose all immersion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangisuckatgamin Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) I think hyping a movie trailer is really really lame. Like, it almost killed the entire hype for me seeing it had zero gameplay. I will watch the gameplay trailer down the road and see. Definitely waiting til it drops in price. I’ve stated on their other post how I don’t even really like the campaigns in these kind of games so it doesn’t matter that much to me. (V’s campaign was one of the worst IMO.) If I decide to buy it, I will pick it up for around $30 or less. It won’t be worth more than that. Edited June 9, 2021 by Dangisuckatgamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offdutysuperhero Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I guess they werent paying attention to what happened to the sales of black ops 4 not having a singleplayer. But we will see when the sales numbers come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all about multiplayer with them. Which is good as this is easily another 100+gigs with how big these maps are. 1 minute ago, Redninja-222 said: Battlefield started out as a multiplayer only game so them making the choice to ditch singleplayer is no surprise.

woggly4 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I'm excited! What is the cross-gen bundle tho? I'd assume you'll also get the PS4 version when you buy the PS5 Gold/Ultimate edition. However, the store lists it as "only playable on PS5" but also "optimized for PS4 Pro". I mean, what?! Did someone already pre-order the Gold/Ultimate Edition and can verify you'll get both platforms? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
