Other game modes like Rush and Breakthrough are great fun and help you approach maps from different perspectives, and make the combat feel a bit tighter and more squad-based. Hit and miss (See below), but when it works, it sings. Classic Conquest on this scale is exactly what I came for. I really like this approach, and the idea of having some variety really appeals to me.Īll-out Warfare is here, with nice massive new maps and 128 players in any match! Lovely. Gametypesīattlefield 2042 is made-up of three gameplay pillars. It’s time to look at the meat of the game. Suddenly very worried that the game was going to be like this terrible intro/tutorial mission, I decided it was time to just get on with it.
It’s a really hollow start, massive open map, crap AI on both sides, and if it’s supposed to help you feel the intensity and scope of Battlefield games, it falls flat on its face. Short clip over, you get put into a game of Conquest (Battlefield standard game type) with bots and you’re essentially left to it. It’s odd, but I was pleased to have a bit of context I suppose. More exposition to the world than I’d expected if I’m being honest! Usually, a Battlefield game is set in or around real conflicts, so this was a surprise, being set in the future, and being multiplayer only. Set in 2042, the world has basically fallen over and the last two remaining superpowers Russia and the US are left fighting for resources across the globe.
#BATTLEFIELD 2042 INITIAL RELEASE DATE PATCH#
Hopeful but cautious optimism, especially after seeing patch notes and plans to fix a lot of the initial release issues. So when I was offered the chance to review the newest game in the series, Battlefield 2042, I jumped at the chance.Įxcited, filled with nostalgia, marketing hype and post-release cynicism, I think I went in with just the right level of expectation. Playing all the Battlefield games from the Xbox 360 onwards, I’ve had plenty of exposure to some incredible games (let’s not talk about Battlefield V….).
This experience is something I have countless hours of fond memories of. A lot of online disappointment followed on from a pretty nice marketing campaign that led us up to the launch which focused on the classic “Battlefield experience”. Battlefield 2042 came out in November, and let’s be honest, it wasn’t a smooth start for DICE.
