What has changed in Battlefield 2042 in a year of development?

After a high-profile failure, the Ripple Effect team began working hard on Battlefield. It is impossible to answer definitively what happened as a result. The game has adjusted the network code, restored the hit registration, changed the interface and menus. Even updated maps – control points, where the battle takes place, filled with the environments and shelters.

Updated maps and modes

You will not be able to play Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 at any time. And all this because of the updated Portal system, which does not allow you to choose your favorite version of the game on the old maps. But, players who prefer to create servers for the experience, rather than play the old version – the update will come to mind.

Mostly users run from point to point and earn phrases. “Assault” and “Breakout” are now more tactical and all thanks to the updated maps. Players will have to defend vehicles and think through tactics. Using such modes is much more enjoyable.

But it’s not clear why such maps couldn’t be made at the release. Concrete fences and sandbags have been added to the battle points. They allow you to defend yourself from the enemy and vehicles. Battles are no longer limited to 10 minutes, and it makes sense to fight for victory. But friendly players are not immune to attack. Once in their own territory, they come under a barrage of fire.

Operatives

Broken operatives try to defend themselves. The enemy players step up their defences and quickly destroy the defenders. It is almost impossible to dodge such an onslaught of explosions. Those who manage to do so will have to defend against a barrage of weapons.

But newcomer Crawford, with his machine gun, is well done. The machine gun fires well, and the damage is low. The operative can be eliminated quite quickly.

Weapon balance

Machine guns and pistols do significant damage. Defending against a player armed with a CSW is impossible. You can only count on luck in this situation. Marksman rifles, on the other hand, are worth a boost. Few can shoot several times in the head at a moving player. Shooting at the body is useless.

Seasons and Combat Passes

Currency can be spent in the internal shop, some weapons have been upgraded and new ones have been added. But, there’s nothing to buy there only a few heroes’ guises, but they cost 1 thousand units. For pumping charge 1300 – enough for a rare or legendary guise.

Quests do not strain, performed in the course of the game. They are unlocked every week, 8 tasks for 12 weeks. This is enough to achieve a good combat level.

Diagnosis

Now the game is really not stressful and it’s all thanks to the updated maps and new weapons. All that remains is to wait for the class system. Sundance with grunts still leaves a lot to be desired, machine-guns quickly incapacitate the player, rifles are just useless weapons.

And that’s only part of the problem. In 1 year, Battlefield 2042 has really changed. What players will be offered in six months is the question. Maybe the creators will create an “ultramatic” game that will really surprise Battlefield fans.
