Battlefield 2042 will, after a few weeks delay, open its doors to fans this week for its open beta. With EA Play members and those that pre-ordered the game getting first dibs tomorrow, October 6, we’ll be able to finally see through our own eyes the guns, maps, and of course, the tornados.
However, alarm bells are already ringing as a number of leakers and insiders are reporting that the anti-cheat system used for Battlefield 2042, the well-established and relatively effective Easy-Anti Cheat, has already been breached by cheaters. It appears that with preloads for the Battlefield 2042 beta going live earlier today, cheat providers have been quick to dive into the game files and figure out workarounds. The likes of ModernWarzone and Tom Henderson are reporting that this is the case, with the latter claiming to have received convincing evidence.
Battlefield 2042's Rush Mode faces criticism due to passive playstyles that hinder objective-based gameplay.
Battlefield franchise boss thinks Battlefield "absolutely can" outsell Call of Duty, but says they're not targeting that with the next entry.
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.
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.
The best opportunity was with BC2 and BF3. BF4 dropped the ball with a short campaign and bugged multiplayer at launch
Release a decent game and let the mouth to eat do the rest.. you choose to release another BF4 then blame yourselves for it

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.
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.
In his defense, BF2042 did turn things around eventually though still falls short of franchise expectations if you based it on BF4, BF3, BF1.
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 .
We don't need more games ruined. It's like that company puts water on their bread before they eat it.
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.
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".

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.
Battlefield 2042 may no longer be receiving new seasons, but it's already been confirmed that a new Halloween event will hit the game later this year.
As long as I can block crossplay with PC, I am fine.
I doubt they'll let us cross console play so that Xbox and PS can play together.
I love seeing my old ship (real-word as the Essex LHD2) pop up in the Battlefield universe.
Figures cheats would be bypassed, but so? this really is not a wide-spread major issue or concern particularly knowing that they will pull out the ban-hammer and do the usual nip and tuck.
The effort people put into cheating is strange.
"Crossplay Off". On console that is the easy option.
