The world in Battlefield 2042 is quite different from today. Wild events lead to the conflict in BF2042. We saw some hints in the reveal trailer, but let's check out some of the lore behind the upcoming Battlefield game. While it doesn't have a single player campaign, devs are using multiplayer gameplay to write an interesting story and narrative.

It’s OK to get some sleep, flakfire.
Jokes on you I did all these in a day
@@Flakfire still that grind though! Lol we appreciate it man! Can't wait for gameplay to drop tomorrow!
@@Flakfire really appreciate these videos.
@@Flakfire you absolute lad
@@Flakfire how
Canada: falls
Pancake lovers: I’ll never financially recover from this…
SOS = Save Our Syrup
RIP: Poutine 😭
People who use lemon and sugar on crepes: I DON'T HAVE SUCH WEAKNESSES
Oh you'll recover just raid Quebec's fort Knox of maple syrup.... Don't believe me? Look it up and while you're at it look up the great maple syrup heist. Yes it's a real thing.
@@Flakfire I will forever use this now lol
It seems grounded and realistic enough to be a legitimate future but also wild enough to be excellent for the series
Great analisys.
Ngl this isn’t realistic at all. It’d take a lot longer than ten years for us to see the affects of climate change, at least 100 years, and space debris simply won’t happen. Space agencies map out the trajectory of the orbit and as such make sure it will never hit another satellite, and all satellites are built to deorbit eventually. It’s more of a misunderstanding of science more than anything.
@@iterationfackshet1990 hence the part where I say “wild enough to be excellent for the series,” it’s fiction dude, relax
@@JAWS same, its more exciting to speculate that this is a war that we could be fighintg than making it more ”realistic” and like this is a fight our grandchildren would fight.
Battlefield is the most realistic game on console, no cap
How did it come to this?
Well you know....
Shit happens
1:26 "Crap hits the proverbial fan"
Sadly I wish there was a campaign as this has such an interesting premise and storyline
bf campaigns always suck... this has been the best choice ever. vince zampelle might be able to fix it tho? who know
Same but if they're utilizing the budget they would normally use for a campaign, for the multiplayer well, I think it's worth it.
Battlefiled games never needed a campaign in the first place. Bf1942, 2, 2142 worked fine without campaign. There was smaller singleplyer maps against bots and the story was told throughout the loading screen texts. It creates more mystery and leaves things to your imagination instead of forcing some cliche storyline with cheesy plot twists. In the end its a BATTLEFIELD game. Makes sense they only have multiplayer and singleplayer against bots on the same MP maps.
@@SSaNNEE100 ikr, these people treat battlefield like it’s a cod game
I have no problem with this, honestly I want to see core battlefield focus on large scale multiplayer chaos and if we’re fortunate the next "bad company" game will have quite a few resources Poured into the single player campaign and also feature small more intimate multiplayer battles.
would love to see a map with a Tsunami
@@SPECIFICREGION hey it's my opinion, sure I would like a BC3 but for now I would like a map with a tsunami and not a little flood like Flood Zone on 4
@@SPECIFICREGION The bad company series is overated.
@@SPECIFICREGION whoa what's up with you captain buzzkill?
Someone can't get over Bad Company 🤣 move on dude, you're embarrassing yourself
@@gunmasterx1164 agreed, if they're putting in tornados I'd love to see tsunamis whilst they're at it
Imagine an earthquake 😳
That seems like an awesome and natural next step. Could defo see this coming with a map added during the games lifetime, with more naval focused vehicles coming with it as we haven't seen that yet.
Everything changed when the Penguin nation retaliated against the incursions into their homelands.
Just a note @Flakfire, you wrote “Battlefield 2942” in the description ;)
did he just reveal the next battlefield 😳😳😳😳
😳😳😳
Tbh a Battlefield that plays in the Battletech universe in the Third Succession war would have been really fucking awesome :-)
@C I A hi CIA
Battlefield 2914
It sucks that they take out the campaign, in a battlefield with such an interesting story.
a sequel bf4 last stand dlc, and a prequel to battlefield 2142 has so much potential
I guess that means they will focus more on the multiplayer. But seriously; this is such a good scenario. I hope they atleast make some baller cutscenes or short animated movies with heavy editing kinda like Black ops 1/2 but futuristic and blue and explain the lore that way.
@@ShahjahanMasood better have a great season story, as much as I am getting tired of season passes
I think DICE work better with over arching settings and ideas - Battlefield 2 and 2142 all had descriptions and reasons for the battles happening, the when and where etc that made the world of the game feel alive.
Their actual ability to produce an interesting narrative tied to gameplay and what you encounter in singleplayer however was always pretty rough, except for Bad Company 2 really because it was more B-movie and about the squad themselves.
Which is a shame, but their strength is definitely in using these concepts to flesh out multiplayer and their own ideas than make a strong campaign, Battlefield 3,4, 1 and V were all just eh at best, and painfully obnoxious sneaking sections at worst.
@@ShahjahanMasood Blue? why not pink?
It's not a sequel to BF4 Last Stand.. Actually Last Stand was a big preview, for the conclusion of this game/war. Literally Russia's _""Final Stand""_ in this war of 2042-204X, before they launch their emergency nukes and plunge the earth into the ice age, which we fight in 2142. So the timeline follows: _BF4 war of 2020 with China > China collapses into civil war > war of 2042 with Russia > BF4 Final Stand, end of the war > thousands of nukes, nuclear ice age > 2142_
This game/war will start with the T14, and end some years later with the hover tank big boi. Also expect 2143 in several years 🧐
With all the lore they put behind these maps, i hope we get another "operations" type game mode.
Breakthrough is confirmed 👍
The Dice L.A game mode ought to be really good
@@pissyourselfandshitncoom2172 thank goodness actually, cause its literally the same lol
Imagine calling yourself a No-Pat instead of a Nomad, kind of rough. Also trust humans to be short sighted enough to let external interests manipulate a group into defeating itself (i.e. If the NoPats worked together they could gain control of both Russia and America, which would be favourable as the chances of the superpowers following through on their promises is higher if your in control).
Nomad lifestyle requires a lot of energy - for traveling around you need gas or food for horses and a lot of free at least semi-fertile land to sustain off the grid live. But as I can understand land is limited on the overpopulated earth of 2042 and due to the climate change a lot of places are almost uninhabitable, except few places that controlled by US, Russia and maybe other militarily strong countries that put soviet style wall around it and promise to let you in only in exchange for service. No-pat is really employment status, not nationality
NoPats should unionize
Are they able to work together when they have no resources though
Nomad sounds better, don't get me wrong, but it also comes with it the word's connotation of constantly moving. Of which, these said No-Pats don't necessarily do so.
...Also, the United States military is still very alive and well and just as capable - even more so - in this timeline... So... The idea of the No-Pats "taking over America" is a bit silly. Irish and the rest of his No-Pat *_somehow_* managed to get their hands on an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. Yes, a powerful piece of equipment. That, realistically, the United States government would not let them have. However... they're just a single destroyer. And they are constantly struggling to get fuel and have food and money. The United States has an entire logistics network alongside a FLEET of destroyers. No-Pats ain't gonna win that fight. Which is good, because they have no desire to fight it.
@Stealthy Pelican
"It makes sense for them being called no-pats because two remaining sovereign nations neglected them"
That's wrong twice over:
1.) In the backstory, some countries welcomed them back or allowed them to emigrate, but they gave them the finger and said no.
2.) America and Russia were not the "two remaining sovereign nations." They were merely the most unscathed and somehow Russia was considered a superpower.
"At least nomads were generally accepted into society in historical context."
Very antithesis of the definition of nomad. Nomads that aren't nomadic and setting down in a society *_are no longer nomads._* This is like saying, "I'm unemployed" while you're working 16 hours a day at a Fortune 500 company and making $5,000,000 a year before taxes. You no longer fit the definition.
Also, no, nomads were *_not_* historically welcome. They were nomadic *_because_* they were often discriminated against and forced to keep on the move.
It’s a great concept, offers a lot of flexibility and interesting options for future content, I love it
Would have made an amazing story mode too.🙃
@@shangothunder1055. For real. In a world where humanity is being destroyed by it's own home, there'd be some serious story potential. Why is the city in the map Hourglass mostly buried beneath a sea of sand? What was it like for the personnel on the rocket station map?
I hope they have a mini background movie when you start the game to create a much needed atmosphere and really make you feel like a part of this story and timeline
Battlefield Earth: **Dying from Natural Disaster** Please Help...
Ace Combat Earth: **Creating Underground City, Long Large Tunnels, Tallest Tower** excuse me, what?
Project Wingman Earth: "KABOOM?"
"Yes Rico Kaboom."
Both aren't that realistic anyway.

It's not a World War until Germany gets involved, and it's not an American Civil War until South Carolina gets involved. These are universal constants.
I love the lore of this game already
Same, it's interesting af
i love the lore, but im massively disappointed that were not getting a campaign, it really throws into question for me if this game is going to be worth full price
@@ClassMRule same bro
@@ClassMRule BF4 campaign = 8 hours? Multiplayer = 4000 hours? Multiplayer more important ;)
It’s interesting but makes me question what happened to countries like the UK, India, China and Japan.
The map in Egypt reminds me of Caspian border with that big wall splitting the land!
that would be so fun tp eee maps from bf3 and 4 in this game, like 20 years later
I'm definitely a sucker for the lore in any game, personally really like this setting. It feels really new and creative on Dice's part. The maps are also a nice breath of fresh air. Great video as always Flak, loving the return of consistent Battlefield coverage ;)
same lets hope the lore dosent suck
@@bluebelt6177 its a really realistic one so... Life sucks lol

I love your voice. Easy chill listening.
Where do the “No-Pats” reside? If they are all displaced refugees, is there a place where most of them live? Didn’t seem like any of the maps are locations where they would stay.
probably they're like nomads, constantly moving around, getting hired by US and RU assets, this however starts changing around 2040 where they are forced to pick a side.
@@supersenpai5920 greatly said.
Who cares where they from , this is made up anyway they from mars
They are probably simlar to middle eastern rebels, nomad and fighting for anything
@@Deeznutz581 some people that spend 60 bucks wanna know just a little about the characters wouldn't you think
I really want an explanation on how Germany falls. In a realistic climate crisis its highly likely that Africa and the middle east would collapse before Europe
It's just that Germany goes bankrupt. That's all that's given
@@neonbunnies9596 it's an idiotic story.
20 years from now somebody is going to say "battlefield 2042 called it"
IK LMAO
Hope not tho
@@deiongoldsmith515 its sure gonna happen
Duh it's called predictive programing
@@thevaltwo Extremely unlikely that's not how climate change or resources work. Maybe in 100 to 200 years.
seems a prequel to bf2142 which is the aftermath of all this. basically global war for land and resources
In Battlefield 2142 the European Union and Pan Asian coalition are the main powers but in this game the EU has collapsed.
@@shangothunder1055 the EU probably got reunited between that, alot can happen in a hundred years
@@tacoloco6080 Yeah and the pan Asian coalition was stated to be created a few years before 2142 but their logo appears in bf4. Maybe they reunited to invade the EU or something
@@allstate387 could be a possibility, and Russia was making prototype mechs and Titans in the Final stand dlc (on top of the PAC logos which indicates the PAC was formed initially in 2023/2024 but then disbanded possibly after nuclear war)
While I would've preferred a traditional nation v nation, I'm kinda digging the world of 2042.
With that said, this just makes me wish we could've created our own specialist rather than use premade ones. I'd rather be an unamed nobody cog on the wheel, than 1 of 7 (insert name here). Be able to pick our own *former* nationality and have a selection of faces similar to BFV.
Or an optional default soldier for the faction you're playing as.
I hope the current maps drive the narrative for future maps. Basically in season 2 they give us the story of which battles (ie maps) were won by each faction from the initial maps and that brings us to these new battles (maps). There's so much more story potential than previous bf games
I like the fictional war that takes place all over the globe. They have placed themselves in a great position to do whatever the hell they want. I just hope they bring back a DIALED IN Rush mode. Similar to BC2 and BF3. I can only hope.
Exactly
I didn't like rush or BC2. I hope they stick with the classic Battlefield experience that real OG players remember
No campaign? Seriously? That was a must have for me. I love campaign, and generally finish it or just about before I play multi
lol
How did we go from craving a bfbc2 type campaign to not having a single player
... tbh this game makes me afraid all this stuff will actually happen
I love it
Me too man
It’s definitely not gonna happen as quickly but it isn’t exactly out of the question something like this could happen far enough in the future
@@brianhong5070 plus they haven’t added China to the play
It’s definitely gonna happen, we have maybe another 100-200 years on this planet as a species. Nobody wants to admit it, but hey, enjoy it while you can.
And don’t feel bad, it’s too late to save this world.

Germany:
-set in a very moderate climate zone without extreme weather events and good freshwater supply
-4th largest GDP in the world
-has the best credit rating AAA (better than the US, the UK and France, much better than Japan and China, far better than Russia)
-most populated country in Europe (83.000.000)
-very high employment rate (higher than UK, France, China, US, Russia)
-very high standard of living (higher human development index than the UK, the US, France, China, Russia)
-45% of the energy comes from renewables, low dependence on fossil energy (More than UK 33%, France 17%, Russia 17%, US 14%)
-could go fully self sufficient in food production
-has superb foreign relations (most powerful passport with visa-free access to 134 countries) and many strong allies
Also Germany in 2035:
*Guess I'll die.* 🤷♂️
There is no way Europe would collapse before Russia. We (Italy) alone have a higher gdp than Russia and a very good military. The EU would have no problem beating Russia to be honest, we just need to sort out all the political bullshit that keeps dividing us
@@shadyyy7490
Yeah, Russia has some major problems.
Their economy is extremely weak relative to their size and super power status.
Russia's economy is also heavily based on the exporting fossil fuels (like oil and gas) which anyone is trying to replace with renewables.
Another interesting point is, that Russia by itself couldn't afford the development of new weapons systems. They rely on exporting weapons for financing.
Now that China, India and some middle Eastern countries develop their own weapons, Russia's arms industry will stall.
(Btw.: I am German. Russia wouldn't stand a chance against a united and dedicated Europe.)
@Central Based Agency
China is undoubtedly a super power and the US's biggest rival.
But China faces many serious problems.
The RUclipsr PolyMatter made a 4-parted series about them.
To sum it up:
- The infamous 1-child-policy created an imbalanced demographic. Within the next 20 years, China will have too many old people and too little people in the working force to pay for them.
- Chinas economy is fragile. China created an enormous real-estate-bubble. Their growth was financed with loans.
- China has problems with its fresh water supply. That could potentially lead to food shortages and migration.
- China is running out of allies. All their neighbors hate them: South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgystan, Kazakhstan (because of the Uighurs) and even Russia doesn't like China.
China might conduct its checkbook diplomany worldwide, but that doesn't mean that they are creating close ties with other nations.
The Europeans don't like them either.
Some more problems are:
- China's economic growth is based on cheap labor. Once automation erases jobs for unskilled workers, they will see mass unemployment.
- They are known for stealing and copying technology. Once they become a technology leader themselves, their growth would stall, since they wouldn't have anyone left to copy.
- China is the most populated country in the world. Their demand in energy, food and water is huge but most of their land is unusable. The north and west is too dry. The south-west is mountainous.
As of now, they are very reliant on imports of all kinds of goods.
@@shadyyy7490 this game's lore overall seems like its made by some yankee that still stereotypes germany as the big baddie and that thinks it is the only country that matters in EU.
Not impressed.
But , has anyone else noticed that : Battlefield 1 - World war 1
Battlefield V - World war 2
Battlefield 2042 - World war 3
Yes I have, and I love it
World War 4 next? We’ll be fighting with sticks
World war 69 - meme war
@@mazen6446 thats bf2142
@@kanedNunable this game itself contradicts 2142 considering the EU is gone
the lore is actually for me pretty interesting and unique hope the gameplay is good
Not for me, for now as we don't know much. But trailer feeld very empty and disappointing for me without back story. Bunch of soldiers running around without reason. Most scenes are soldiers scared and running away like some hunger games 😂. Hard to say who is who and why is there. Hated the trailer, I watched it for better idea what will come with next bf not to get more confused. Actual gameplay hopefully will brighten it up for me.
It would be even more interesting if they tried to make an actual political statement on refugees, climate change, patriotism, etc.
@@lobaandrade7172 why would you want a video game to have political statement in it its a game you play to have fun

will there be other environmental disasters on the maps? so far there has only been talk of sandstorms and tornadoes
Earthquakes would be nice but too much disasters would just make it the 5th wave
Maybe floods ? Some small tsunamis ? Avalanche in snow maps ?
Maybe even huge earth quakes breaking the ground .

"how did it come to this?"
Climate change: imma tell you how
I hope we can create our own characters or nopats, so you don’t have to use the given ones. Obviously no bonuses or abilities but that’s fine with me
They can just make bonuses and abilities just be extra choosable weapons like any other weapon.
Refugees fighting for superpowers? Pretty interesting (and dark) concept
Reminds me of the story of the anime “86” where the whole premise is that some humans have developed more than others and the lesser developed ones are basically sent out to die in the battlefield.
Can’t wait for this to happen to us in our 40s
Your children will likely be dead of old age by the time anything like this happens. Climate change and resource drain is real but there speed is exaggerated. Maybe in 100 to 200 years.

What a great backstory you paint Flakfire 👍😀
Thanks dude! ...luvin it so far!
Does Al Gore work at Dice now?
Al Gore would be far-right compared to the people that work at DICE Sweden😅
Please make this a series as the story progresses
This world sounds the most interesting and it saddens me that there will be no coherent narrative
c'mon duude, don't you wanna play as *_gender fluid - nationless - borderless - sjw - refugee - badass - hollywood movie hero??_* Are you not inspired to fight in some inconsequential distant proxy war, without even the basic national identify or patriotic pride to motivate you to fight?? But you're at least excited to buy -Warzone Operator Bundles- *specialist packs™* yes?
Jokes aside, EA really dropped the ball on this one sadly. They literally could have made BF3 remastered and I would have immediately pre ordered. I was actually hoping they'd copy that ambitious World War 3 game, and do it better - chaotic ww3 of annihilation, levels of destruction previously unthinkable.
Instead we get more _"unseen locations"_ like BFV, more cheesy Elite characters like BFV {but we have only the option of elite characters, with pay to win abilities no less}, and almost as much progressive political pandering as BFV

Perfectly delivered narrative 👍🏼
And this setting pretty much fits the current (and near future) world's situation.
Usually, I don't play single player games or campaigns, like barely touched a game or two, unless the campaign results in multiplayer rewards then I'm forced to go through the story...
Would love to see a series on this!
Honestly why should I care about the characters, events and lore if I didn't experience it in a campaign where you can understand it way more easily.
Unlike Cod where they also did it but we already knew some of the characters and lore also nothing happened with the new characters added in MP like Wyatt.
Don't get me wrong the lore seems to be really interesting.
I find it kinda sad that they got through the trouble of making up all this lore but chickened out from creating a campaign
battlefield campaigns have for the most part been bad better of in my opinion i do wish they have some offline modes
@@christopherkb2432 There will be bots.
@@christopherkb2432 there’s a mode where you play against AI 64v64
Campaigns take an immense amount of money and developer time with no campaign they can put more money and development into multi player
@@casualspawnpeeking3680 That's not how it works. Money? Depends. Developer time? No. If you throw more devs on multiplayer, it doesn't make development faster, but maybe at a more steady pace. A steak won't cook faster if you put more chefs to cook it. Besides, the campaign devs are most likely put on the narrative team this time.
The one problem I have with what we know so far is with the specialists. For example; How many will there be at launch, and do they interact with other specialists VOCALLY? So what happens if you have a squad that is using only one specialist, do they think they're clones and act towards each other as such? Or will there be a Pick one system where if you pick your specialist nobody else in the squad can use them. I just don't like the idea of all that confusion, why not just have us create our own character like in the Division 2?
Are you serious or is this a joke?
@@Thebest-wc3ow Serious question, if you can clear things up please go on..
10 specialists, all can look different due to customization, and no, not all squads are gonna filed with same specialists
@@HCoreSchnitzel Yes you are correct, but not only that but now any "specialist" can use any weapon which makes the classes virtually gone, which I sincerely hate
@@HCoreSchnitzel I dont get the part where you ask if they will act toward eachother and thinking they are clones. But it will still be 4 classes. In these classes you have 2-3 operators to choose from. The operators is not as big of a deal as people are making them imo. They will have 1 speciality each, and these special abilities will probably be earned from playing Well. All of them also has a direct counter. And I assume that everyone in the squad can use the same specialist
Please keep doing stuff like this!!
If paris is hit by a nuke
We will know its set in the bf3/4 universe 😎
I mean the whole world is blitzed by thousands of nukes at the end of this war, so in a way one of them will hit Paris
@@mrtrolly4184 you completely missed what I was saying.. I'm saying that this war will end by Russia launching their emergency nukes, maybe 3 years down the line, however long EA wants to keep the live service / storyline going.
It was a prediction, I don't know if you've maybe ever heard of those 🤪🥴
Thats really a interesting yet kinda scary scenario, since its while fictional still very believable if you take a look closer what is happening atm in the world around us! But tbh i hope that scenario never becomes truth in reality and stays fictional of corse 😅 However, im really looking forward to this BF and i hope it will be a success!

I love how all the battlefield creators clearly talk about this like they’ve known about it for months😂
I hope they will put in a “Titan Mode”.
By far my most favorite Battlefield (2142) mode ever. :)
How did titan mode play?
@@PotatoMaGobinus First half of the march it is mostly identical to Conquest with addition of huge Titan class vessel and automated rocket silos instead of flags. Every silo under team control automatically launches missiles into the enemy Titan every few minutes. Titan, this levitating ship - is a mix of carrier and battleship. It can be moved by Commander to every part of the map: far away to the corners or on the top of the uncapable base - to make easy to defend it, or to the frontline - to provide heavy fire support and fast reinforcement on the silos. Titans are unaccessible to the enemy team while their force shields is active, but after few dozens of rocket hits (only from silos, IRC) - shields are down and the second stage starts, that is more like objective based gamemodes (Rush etc). Now enemy infantry can airborne by different ways and entries inside the Titan with the target to destroy at first - 4 consoles, and after all 4 falls - to destroy the Power Core. Wins the team, that destroys enemy Titan first. But this not the end - even if enemy team will organise an excellent unreachable defence inside the Titan - they still can lose, as the captured missile silos under control will continue to damage the hull of Titan after the shileds went down. So team must perform smart split of the force between defence of the own Titan, assault on the enemy one AND controlling the ground and rocket silos. Damn this gamemode was fun and genuinely designed!
@@PotatoMaGobinus so, as you may know, bf 2142 is set in the future... obviously 😅
There were walkers/titans (pretty similar to those in the titanfall games), other futuristic vehicles and two Motherships.
There were also multiple capture points on the floor, just like in normal Bf games but with a twist. They were some sort of rocket silos. The goal was to capture them, hold them and destroy the shield of the Mothership with the previously mentioned rockets.
Remember, both teams had a morhership, which means that both teams had the same mission.
And this, my friend... was phase 1
After that, you had to make your way inside the enemy mothership and destroy its core with some explosives and then escape with your team.
This mode was basically the Death Star mission in a futuristic battlefield setting.
It was incredibly fun and you had a lot of action going on, pretty much all the time.

i just hope they slowly moves the storyline and re introduce Titans and connect the dots to 2142
I hope not
I don’t want a futuristic shooter smh
Awesome stuff, keep up the great work.
Hey FlakFire, I hope you are doing well. You are putting out EXCELLENT content and I appreciate it so much. This reveal and news of BF2042 has made June a much better than it was before June 9th.
From,
A Forever Subscriber :)
I love the idea I just hate the specialists.
So, this game just predicted the future.
Awesome. Thanks for clarifying. I love the story
They really did follow up from the war shown in bf3 and 4 leading to 2142. The us retreats from Siberia taking some of that experimental Russia tech and starts working on it. There is a bit of peace until this stuff happens. Following this there is a peace between the forming two factions that wind up becoming those that fight starting in the war of 2140, during the third ice age (battlefield 2142)
My toaster from 2011 says hello
Well greetings
Nice meeting
I'm super excited for all this lore content and environmental storytelling within the maps; I'd definitely love to see you do more videos on this stuff in the future! :D
After seeing this, it's really depressing seeing how the 21st century is just a century of chaos, tensions, depression, and conflict
Nice Explanation 👌
When the home countries of all the specialists collapsed, how is it that there is a Russian specialist while Russia remains a super power?
because mercenary
Maybe there difference between "capital Russia" that consist of modern day north-western Russia, where elites and military people live in Moscow and Saint Petersburg that is superpower and other 3/4 of modern day Russia that is "badlands Russia free Republics", which in 2042 become wasteland due to climate change, conflict with China, etc, and this guy need to serve to become full core core Russian citizen
@@decavalerie6484 why can't I just play as a real Russian soldier and defend the homeland?
EA 🥺
One thing which still hurts me to this day is that Firestorm too had an interesting lore, but the devs never expanded on it. Wonder if that SULIS thing would return in this game
Wait really? What was it?
No
@@s1mplem4gic58 It was some backstory for like Firestorm, firestorm had ring of fire, and a german company called SULIS was apparently responsible for it
@@simulify8726 no
@@gamerdream7465 no? I replied to a completely different reply, I know it will not be in BF2042
That smooth jazz though. Made me think I was at a Battlefield themed story slam.
We need the rundown of the gameplay asap!!
I can’t wait for Battlefield 2042
i can tell lol
Lol i just saw u on the arma 4 joke video from operatordrewski.
@Good boi doge
It seems that the algorithm has brought us together once more
Real life or the game?
The EU collapses without Germany holding it together? What? 😂
Great summary and I didn’t know all that! Makes me even more excited. BF4 is my fav.
I hope once the games out they might add more lore of the different nations which may still be around or any new ones and how the old ones collapsed. Ps I reckon the'll add a future map which has some sort of sea wall or barrier which you can crack or something and flood the map.
People: lol imagine if this game was real
Global warming: hm interesting
Ok bot
@@nang7112 I mean global warming is a thing.
Can someone tell if bots are going to be in multiplayer mode with real players.
Apparently yes. Jackfrags said they will fill the server if its not populated enough.
@@garyhamilton2104 if the AI is actually good I don’t see why it would? You might not notice it
@@garyhamilton2104 im a little nervous about it as well, but if they are implemented well enough it may not be an issue. Really depends on how good the A.I. is and I'm guessing the region you live.
@@garyhamilton2104 Well if the bots are what they worked on before then i'm ok with it. The bots learn from other player's playstyles. In bf1 they first tried this and there's some footage of this. First they were very dumb and just walked around and shot aimlessly then after a while they realized the walking paths and where they can go and what to shoot. This was 5 years ago. I hope they made something about the bots in that 5 years. If they play like other players, capture points etc. I would rather play against and with them than just play on an empty server.
@@psychooefvet3580 I really hope that is not the case. I hate this way of artificially populating servers. Though thankfully at launch at least it shouldn't be a problem with lots of players.
Wonderful video
i hope theres some countryside maps, im not the biggest fan of city maps because theres so little cover or concealment
I really enjoy your videos on the new BF
The lore is so damn interesting that I now hope there will be a campaign at a later day. And I am one of the many who doesn't play BF Singleplayer at all. Last SP I played was BF3 and last I rlly enjoyed was BFBC2
Lore? this shit is already happening in the real world baby

@@kingsley3208 okey yes we have already climate refugees, but they still don't build a merc army yet. Also the Kessler effect isn't spiraled out of control "yet". At this point it is hard scifi. Well if I could choose, I hope EA makes a Command and conquer BF2042 Spinoff. That would be a rlly good stategic move imo
This just sounds like the future
It feel like they took idea from my head
A year later, Russia looks like the first country to collapse😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would love seeing a Scandinavian specialist, the lore behind him/her could be that as the EU collapse and as food shortages begin being a serious problem even in the developed world, Scandinavia unites under one government, this could go in both ways, Maybe this union collapses making the citizens “no pats” like in Germany, or more countries join making it a 3. Superpower 🤔 could be a fun concept 👌
Vikings 2: electric boogaloo
I would love see NO specialist.
Dis succs.
@@elanlynn5973 specialists are just the new version of the old operators. They’ll still have ammo packs, medic packs, defibs, and repair Gadgets. People complaining about “specialists” are making a mountain out of a molehill.
@@j.vinton4039 When you get tired of seeing tons of Boris, believe me you will hate this Sp3c1alists more than you now think.
Thanks for the clarification 👍
Wonder if this is still in the 2142 timeline or not related. I'm assuming. Ot related like Bad Company.
Most of the ppl who dislike the trailer either cod fan or never played battlefield still gotta see the gameplay footage tho
Yeah. I liked the trailer but we gotta see gameplay first.
@@DLBBALL no cap
Why does it always have to be the US and Russia. Couldn't it have been the EU vs the African Union or something similar. I get that these games are mostly marketed to Americans but I think the Future Setting with Climate Change in mind could have been a chance for some new Faction Ideas
To me the reason is simple, what happened to China in BF4 leads to a decades long civil war in china
2) EA gets huge revenue from China, and they didn't got it from BF4 because it was banned in China.
When the EU can actual do that war themselves then they’ll have more say in American video games, until then they can keep crying
I’m an American and I honestly agree with you. Part of BF1’s appeal was the fact that there were battles that didn’t involve my country at all. It really helped the conflict feel like something global and not just America vs Everyone.
bf2142 was europe v russians but as usual the yanks pissed and moaned they were not in it. blame butt hurt americans who cant handle anything not about them
@@kanedNunable
Dude most Americans loved 2142. The idea that we can’t handle anything not being about us is just a stereotype that these companies buy into.
Honestly, a campaign would have been amazing. It would kick so much ass.
I seriously hope there will be maps that can have random floods sort of like that one map in BF4 (can't remember the name)
Damn, these are actually things that have a good chance of happening in the next 20 years....A real eye opener!
20? nah. 100-200 sure.
Why the switch from classes to specialists if the system was already functioning and iconic? And doesn't the introduction of a purchasable battle pass just sponsor more divide between original battlefield players and newer ones seeing is the game is becoming more and more similar to it's competition?
The battlepass won't divide anything, all the specialist, maps and weapons will be free
The Battle Pass is alright, this game will have basically the same live service as Call of Duty: everything is free, except the cosmetics in the Battle Pass (and they make a crap ton of money from the cosmetics so I guess that works wonders)
@@ronaldbenz_ The *Gold* preorder bonus marks itself as including 4 additional operators with one per season, this sorta implies that they'll be ) locked behind some type of purchase window seeing as the normal preorder doesn't include this information
@@deathwish-gg8wz The *Gold* preorder bonus claims it includes 4 additional operators with one per season for an additional payment compared to the regular preorder which doesn't have any indication that it includes these operators
"The digital Battlefield 2042 Gold Edition contains:
Early access to game launch
Year 1 Pass: *4 New Specialists (1 per Season)*" indicating that purchasable pass does indeed include operators while the regular edition does not, thus locking people who play without purchasing the pass behind a pay wall from characters and abilities they want to use
Will anything come of the PAC and the Prototype Titan and Battlewalker from Final Stand? In universe it's stated to take place in 2020
The thing i fear the most when comes to video games, most notably games under EA.
Is that they always predicted the future and upcoming real world events that will mostly occur.
Just think about it, Battlefield & Command And Conquer, (C&C Generals in particular), has real life factions, and politics based on big countries, like China, Russia, and etc.
Things like 3 big factions fighting each other in C&C Generals, and Arecibo Observatory collapse in Battlefield 4.
Now Ukraine
Lastn't
Battlefield 2077
I love the near-future/dystopia vibe. The slate is clean and DICE can go wherever they want with this story. Looking forward to it
Hope we get a lot of interesting unique gadgets. And some even just upgraded existing ones. They don't have to be crazy, just interesting enough to make a character out of, so we get a massive roster for playable characters, customisation and play style.
