Battlefield 2042 Beta Codes Being Sent out by Amazon, Beta Client Gets Uploaded to Origin API

Amazon has started sending out Battlefield 2042 beta codes to gamers! The beta client has been uploaded to EA's Origin platform as well.

Father__Merrin1364d ago

I'm seriously thinking of getting this over COD but there's no free next gen upgrade and it's £69.99 same as COD

excaliburps1364d ago

Have you played the Vanguard beta? If you did, I don't think that even needs to be thought over.
PS: Love the username. LOL!

EvertonFC1364d ago

I tried the cod beta absolute awful, then I tried the hells let loose beta which was my number 1 choice yet that was ruined by no combat for 10mins running back to the battleground every time you die so that's a no no so I'm going with bf2042 this time round for shooter fix.

Father__Merrin1364d ago

I've had some time with vanguard it feels like cod Ww2 dlc there was just something about it that I don't want to spend 69.99 on if I do get it will be physical so I can sell on. Later

Timzster1364d ago

I agree with the Vanguard Beta - give that a try if you haven't. And yes on the Username - The Power of COD compels you!!!

Smok911364d ago

You’ll probably find yourself less tired of FPS by not reading articles about them. Just a thought 🤷

swifty11363d ago

I’m really really hoping this BF feels like BF3. Please. I needs.

bestofyou1363d ago

so did gamestop, but after entering the code it shows the beta but no option to download it. I searched and tried but after you select it with the code they send it just goes away. No way to download it. this is on PS5.

theHunter Call of the Wild is the best hunting game ever made. I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it can be really slow going. But the environments (they look phenomenal, especially for a 2017 game!), the satisfaction of finally landing a Gold or a Diamond keep you coming back for more. I have over 600 hours in it, my dad in his 70's has around 1,500 in it! The only game he plays, even bought a PS4 Pro for it back in 2019 lol We get on almost every week to catch up bc we live about 4,000 miles apart overseas. New Snowy Canadian map is coming out this next Tuesday. I highly recommend this one! 👍

**I'm really happy to see Eiyuden Chronicles on here. I was about to buy that one after replaying the Suikoden Remasters recently!

jznrpg5d ago

How’s the ballistics in the game? If it’s done well I may check it out.

OtterX5d ago

they've gotten better with some updates throughout the years, but I wouldn't say they are perfect. But they're good enough that it's still a lot of fun. If you hang around their discord a while, you'll see quite a number of avid real life hunters who are pleased enough.

andy856d ago

Yeesh. Pretty awful tbh and the PS premium support is shocking

repsahj5d ago

They should combine the premium and extra subscriptions and use the extra pricing for it.

OtterX5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Yea, that was my biggest complaint. If it weren't for my Portal, I would have cancelled my Premium. But it looks like they've leaned in on the streaming aspect as a selling point of Premium now, instead of the Classics. :\ I do like the streaming on Portal!

Npugz76d ago

Ps plus extra has been garbage this year

KwietStorm_BLM6d ago

Firebreak has been surprisingly fun. Can't wait for the full game. And Deus Ex!

Will be giving dues ex a crack

Wow, another site writing entire articles based off a single reddit comment.

pwnmaster3000254d ago

Just redownloaded the game. I wonder if it is still active

Steve_Gamer254d ago

Yeah it will be, the game just recently got a Update 1.59 Patch in September.

XiNatsuDragnel253d ago

Interesting and understandable lol

Vince Zampella: Battlefield "Absolutely Can" Outsell Call of Duty; BF2042 Was Not a "Failure"

Battlefield franchise boss thinks Battlefield "absolutely can" outsell Call of Duty, but says they're not targeting that with the next entry.

TheNamelessOne273d ago

Feel like if that were true, we would have seen it during the BF3/4 era. Just focus first on releasing a Battlefield that's actually feature complete, well put together, that people actually want to play right out of the gate. Hoping Zampella can make this happen.

JEECE273d ago

The best opportunity was BF1 vs. Infinite Warfare. I've never actually seen a worldwide sales comparison so I'm not convinced BF1 didn't eventually win, but I do know COD sold better in the US at launch, because it was the NPD #1 that year, while BF was #2.

SonyStyled273d ago

The best opportunity was with BC2 and BF3. BF4 dropped the ball with a short campaign and bugged multiplayer at launch

Cacabunga272d ago

Release a decent game and let the mouth to eat do the rest.. you choose to release another BF4 then blame yourselves for it

JEECE272d ago

@SonyStyled

Definitely not BC2. I love the Bad Company games (even though everyone always pretends the first one didn't exist), but even though BC2 has achieved great respect in hindsight, at the time it came out a lot of casuals who bought COD every year either didn't know of Battlefield's existence or saw it as a knockoff of COD. Plus coming out in spring 2010 it was competing against MW2 (the original one) which came out the prior fall.

ChronoJoe272d ago

I mean, the title of the game doesn't have a lot to do with how it sells. The next game is not going to change things but Zampella course change the course of the series towards something that's more on track with that those big player numbers.

With that said, battlefield fans might not want that. To acquire the wider audience they would probably need to betray a lot of the series design principles. Call of Duty is as popular as it is because it is as simple as it is.

"BF2042 Was Not a "Failure"

Suuuuuuure thing little buddy...

excaliburps273d ago

In his defense, BF2042 did turn things around eventually though still falls short of franchise expectations if you based it on BF4, BF3, BF1.

trez1082272d ago

Hated it at lunch, came back a two years after and it was an absolute blast. Not sure how it did sales wise to be called failure or success but BF2042 is a pretty good game .

ElaBosak272d ago

In what way was it a failure exactly?

Outside_ofthe_Box273d ago

Microsoft would just buy EA if that happens.

8bitAssassin272d ago (Edited 272d ago )

We don't need more games ruined. It's like that company puts water on their bread before they eat it.

Inverno273d ago

Here we go again with rubbing mouths. BF has been a flop consistently since BF4, and I mean flop as in disappointing to the fan base due to the technical issues each has had and the gameplay changes needlessly made. Shut up and make a good BF before hyping up another potential disappointment.

Fishy Fingers273d ago (Edited 273d ago )

Bro gave one pretty decent interview and answered the questions he was asked. Not really his fault if people want to cherry pick quotes for "content".

Stick to reading source https://www.ign.com/article...

X-23273d ago

I don't mind them claiming BF2042 wasn't a failure so long as they learned from it and use that experience moving forward into the new game, it was terrible at launch but towards the end it got a bit better. I don't want to see the same thing play out with the new BF though because the ones who are still interested in the franchise have been pretty vocal with what they want and don't want from Battlefield.

ElaBosak272d ago

Learn what exactly? The game was great.
