Prepare for deployment, bois.

excaliburps942d ago

Woohoo! Here we go! Just a week out! Cannot wait. :D I can't wait to rambo revive and maybe kill snipers with drones (assuming we get that Specialist in the beta). :D

RaidenBlack942d ago

We are getting the 4 specialists in the Beta.

gamesftw250942d ago

Gotta get that early access on the 6th!

spwittbold942d ago

I'm confused. What's the difference between "Earl Access" and "Open Beta."
Early Access just saves your progress for final release?

RaidenBlack942d ago (Edited 942d ago )

Similar to CoD.
You pre-order the game ... you get "Early Access" ~ a chance to play the Beta, 2 days early.

Smok91942d ago

Open on 8th and 9th. Earlier if you preorder and gain early access.

porkChop942d ago

Open beta starts October 8th, meaning everyone can play. Early access for the beta starts October 6th, meaning people who preorder can play the beta 2 days early.

JEECE942d ago

Lol well I guess we're about to find out if this game really is broken or if that's just a bunch of "insiders" peddling clickbait.

ArchangelMike942d ago

From the Beta announcement dev speil, they said that the beta version of the game is launch ready. So at least they're being honest and letting us know that it is in fact just a demo. Basically what we get to play will be representative of what the game will be at launch.. broken or not.

An Update on Battlefield 2042 and Welcoming Motive Studio to the Team

EA:

While we’ve enjoyed and are proud of creating these seasons of additional content for Battlefield 2042, it is now necessary for us to turn from the present to the future. What this ultimately means is that Season 7 will serve as the final season for Battlefield 2042. After Season 7 concludes, we will continue to support the game with new in-game challenges, events, modes, and of course, ongoing maintenance, but we are moving away from delivering official seasons.

No wonder the game ended up the way it did
What they should've done was ask BF fans. Most general content creators typically go for the trend and the top creators stream games like LOL, fortnite, dota, gtaV, battle royale etc.

_SilverHawk_30d ago

A lot of times people want a game to be something else and I'd probably guess a lot of people wanted call of duty or a lot of it's features.

Bf2042 is amazing now but was not so much at launch. A lot of improvements made the game an amazing game with its own identity. I'm hoping the new battlefield game coming next year improves upon everything in bf2042 and is more akin to bf3 and bf4.

Gamingsince198130d ago

I want them to do a new bad company instead

DustMan30d ago

A ton of people have written the game off now. Which is unfortunate because I find it to be one of the best multiplayer shooters available now. I've been aware that a Battlefield game has not launched in a good condition since....I don't remember. So I never played at launch due to the horror stories, but it seems to have pulled a Battlefield 4 and really turned itself around. Good stuff. Love getting 4 kills on an apc with a well placed RPG, or Stinger to a loaded chopper lol. No other game has given me that kind of joy. lol.

Kornholic30d ago

To be fair, I would not listen to content creators/influencers either.

BISHOP-BRASIL30d ago

Look, I wouldn't pee on an influencer if they were on fire, but why pay for their feedback only to ignore it?

Kornholic30d ago

I don't know. Maybe they thought it was a good idea at first but eventually found out that it was best to ignore influencers' opinions?

jznrpg30d ago

I’ll give some advice and take money for it. You can use it or not use it just make sure to pay me

badboyz0930d ago

who would've thought🤷‍♀️

Yi-Long30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Battlefield fans just want Battlefield to be Battlefield. Which means a focus on Conquest-mode (5/6 flags), some gorgeous and fun maps to play on, 4 balanced classes, and that's it.

The suits keep wanting to turn Battlefield into everything else BUT Battlefield, so first they wanted BF to be more like Call of Duty, so they copied a bunch of stuff from CoD. Then they wanted to take advantage of the Battle Royale stuff, so they went after that crowd. Then they saw the heroes stuff in Overwatch and so they brought in specialists. Etc.

Guys, we just want Battlefield. Not every games has to be everything to all people. Specialize in what makes (made) your series great, which is large(r) maps (appropriate size for the amount of players, which IMO should be 24-32 max, so not just big for bragging brights), integrating vehicle-combat, and just allowing the freedom and flow which made those matches in older Battlefield games so special at times.
