If you won't give us a server browser, maybe let players in the lobby vote on the map they want to play. Also, give breakthrough more love and add it to portal!
Terrible idea. I don't want to play on the same three popular maps over and over again. Playing bf1 only on Amiens already was a bad enough experience.
Thank you for the update. Things definitely seem to be improving. My biggest challenge is losing your squad after every match. It doesn't encourage team play, and never gives you a chance to get in a groove with the players you are paired with. All my BFV friends I made through playing multiple matches together and getting to know each other's styles. Once you found good chemistry with a squad, they would stick together, and "friend up" for future games. Since you are returned to the main menu after every match, there's no encouragement to improve as a squad. Personally, I think this is making a big difference on the social feel of the game.
@@cashx370 that's because the type of people that make these games seem to think that they can please everyone, which causes them to end up pleasing no one. They want to shield certain people from negativity and make it to where people will never get their feelings hurt, but they fail to realize that those types of people cannot be ever be happy or pleased, as they are eternally miserable.
There are some Easter eggs in the game currently, but not to the extent of old battlefields. Last season there was the box relaying a message, and now there are radios around different maps that you have to get in order, which will then give you a cool charm
Hell yea thank you. Someone has to say it. The destruction in this game ducking sucks to the core. It’s actually sad Af too. Only cool thing is the tornadoes and the rocket blowing up.

Your all working hard to bring this game back from the depths of hate and backlash it got and it has improved a lot since launch, keep up the good work, hope to see other problems being addressed and fixed, hope to see more content and good luck to you all, I know your all still a new team to battlefield and glad to see you learning and improving on the mistakes made, good luck, see you on the battlefield
It's great what they doing atm, there is some other success stories on game rising from depths to sunlight. However i just wish Battlefield launched in amazing shape and had that vision from the start, rather than playing catch up always.
More love to DICE please for the work they are doing. Sad that one always has to acknowledge the fact that DICE messed up with this game when trying to compliment them now, but they are on a strong path to redemption and the community should be very supportive of everything they are doing! Thrilled to see year two I’d happening 👌
Honestly the return of the classic class system is my biggest want and glad to see it returning. I wish it never left to begin with but im liking the new changes of it.
@@confucheese we should see the levels of all players. Is not the same a S233 is top leader with 50 - 8 than a level 12 doing that kind of score. In BFV I have seen a lot of these, and surprise, the low levels where hackers. Despite of that, I don't know why elements of the old scoreboards like that one are not present in this new game.
Glad to hear the updates won't stop after season 4. I just hope you keep adding NEW maps and guns/vehicles, instead of just focusing on cosmetics/reworks. That's what everyone wants.
I prefer that they polish the maps they already have instead of adding new ones. This update seems like a step in the right direction to me. Although I think that with 128 players they should abandon the specialist skins altogether. In battlefield 4 you were never going to find someone with the same face because in (I think) all the cases had their faces covered in some way. Something similar happened in battlefield 1, where either their faces were partially covered or their faces were so unrecognizable that if two snipers were the same you wouldn't notice. But in Battlefield 2042, Specialists have distinctive faces, distinctive voices, even ways of speaking. So when you see 5 identical soldiers you realize it, and it's unsettling. (english is not my main language)
Really solid looking changes, great job! A few thiings I would like to see considered: - Changing squads UX (its weird that it seems absent) - A little more destruction and emphasis on terrain deformabilitiy - Would be really cool, longer term, to see the return of commander mode, which I think really helps with coordination and could be an incredible experience on the new 128 player servers! - Some breakaway maps seem unbalanced for either offense/defense. It would be great to see these simply reworked by moving spawn areas around
Squad UX yes! And maybe add squad spawn vehicles instead of spawning on footmen. Also make the cap times WAY longer so it doesn't feel like whack-a-mole. The maps are so big and open that it's always better to sneak through to the backlines and cap before the enemy manage to react to defend. That's not a fun game flow. Noone wants to sit back there and wait for the inevitable solo harasser with squad spawn. Possibly add a lower limit for how many is needed to cap, proportitonal to distance from closest base so it feels like a team effort and not harrassment.
With the lack of story telling I think an operations mode would be stellar for this game. It was a lot of fun in battlefield one and five and would give us some more info on the world of 2042 and the battlefield universe
I'm pleasantly surprised ngl. Year 2 content, and the breakaway rework looks amazing! All we need now is a server browser so the game can stay active for longer. Matchmaking is the root cause of low player counts.
nothing surprising, dying player base and their gaas was not making money so that had to bend over for what us fans been wanting for years. Going back to class system is just one example.
I don't know if I really want a Year 2 to a game with a skeleton crew and 1 Map per Season though... maybe if they ramped up Contents for Seasons 5-8 as a Year 2, I would be fine. Say 2 New Maps, 1 Portal Map and 6 Guns per Season would be fine with me, but if they really think anyone is gonna play a Season 5 with no Reworks, no Portal Maps, just 1 Singular New Map, I have a feeling that they're mistaken lol
Breakaway seems incredible, but I can't help but wish that you made the other maps reworks more evolving, new covers and layout changes are fine, but what the maps really need are levelution, like a tsunami in manifest, a collapsible building in kaleidoscope, tornadoes that actually leave traces where they pass. Overall, I look forward for the breakaway rework because it looks stunning an I continue to have hope for this game, thanks for not having aving abandoned it yet.
they have mentioned it so many times that they really can't do that because of the 128 player matches. They had to choose between destruction and player capacity. What ever was the "right" decision doesn't matter because they picked theirs. 128 player server capacity was their game direction. Maybe the other BF project could have the long waited destruction.
They hyped up tornadoes and then they basically do nothing and have no effect on the battlefield at all. They should have done unique weather for each map that actually changed it. Tsunami for one, earthquake for one that knocks buildings over. Battlefield 4 wiped the floor with BF1, BF5 and BF2042 in terms of dynamic player instigated map changes. It was awesome.
I like how the maps used to be better for civilians and workers, and later there are downed vehicles, sandbags providing cover, as well as destroyed container piles, bringing the feel of a war in said area, that has grown and multiple battles fought there.
@Botardo87 I just found the image of a blue cube in Stockholm and... yeah, that's probably gonna be it. I hope there will be a new above ground area though, cuz vehicle players are getting completely shafted if it's 100% infantry only.
I’d like the ability to break off or make new squads in game and lock the squads like in other battlefield games so we can easily join on friends and be in there squads like every other battlefield squading system was
@@Dukestona Well, you might be in luck, it looks like Season 3's Map will be a a new Version of Operation Metro, set in Stockholm Sweden. Temporyal, a big BF Leaker showed a picture of a Blue Cube and DICE are confirming the Map will be set in Sweden, in Stockholm there is a very artful and beautiful display of art in their Metro Station, which has a Blue Cube. Probably not a coincidence at all, sooo... New Metro! But keep expectations tempered just in case.
These changes look really good, hyped for the breakaway changes the most! Def looks like hourglass is the last map to be changed, since it needs a lot of work lol
It's the biggest map in the game aint it? I'm sure they are going to bring everything closer to the city as they did with these map changes. Still disappointed by the lack of destruction...
Yeah, I thought we'd get Discarded for Season 3, but I guess Season 4 will have a big Rework of Discarded and then Hourglass, I hope that Map is similar to that Shop Bundle Image of it... I'd love to see toppled buildings in the sand featuring very CQC areas, as well as very open areas and overall, just a very different layout.
@@DeadSpacedOut I hope they keep the A sector stadium with the changes and just do some good work with tightening everything up and really adding to the dead open areas.
With BF2042 coming to Xbox Game Pass through EA Play I will finally give this game a try after a year of updates and content. First Battlefield I didn't play since Bad Company 2.
I would appreciate if some of the portal modes stayed around in the server browser, really enjoyed gun game a few weeks back! Also, the matchmaking is sometimes a bit of a nuissance, especially when a lot of players leave the lobby at the end of a round it can take ages to refill properly. Thanks for the updates, looking forward to the future of BF2042
This looks so much better! I wonder why we couldn't have this from the beginning, when the development was supposed to be "ahead of schedule". Excited to see the reworked Breakaway! Now we only need more destruction.
@@joelrobertson3130 I belive in the 64 player setting the answer is yes (just think how good we had it in BFV already), whereas the 128 player servers are what got us in this mess in the first place.
Honestly the return of the classic class system is my biggest want too. And for a future Battlefield game, maybe the soldiers could be fully customizable, without the specialists and those same skins for everyone. More closecombat on the maps and destruction!
Did you see customizable squads, with the ability to join or create one? How about joining a friend through the friends list? How about larger squad sizes for 128 player mode? What still only 4 random asses where you are the only one playing the obj while your team sits in spawn in AA or tanks or god forbid, prone sniping....
@@bodieleblanc2577 Exactly. You can NEVER force a player to perform a role on the Battlefield. Medics not reviving, supports not throwing ammo, recons sitting in spawn, etc. all nothing new to the series.
@@falconlewitteducation4941 *Hears female narrator and says “honest hearts”* loooooooool. It’s AMAZING what people can APPEAR to be doing when they can potentially be threatened with a lawsuit. This was nothing more than a cash grab gone wrong and a desperate attempt to avoid getting sued
Breakaway looks incredible, the changes are huge and it's honestly heart-warming to see them not even hesitating to completely change the map. Looking forward to the update. I still feel like we could use more maps, even Portal ones. Also, where's the love for 1942 weapons in the vault ? :( I love how Steam is the only PC platform mentioned for F2P btw. Quite funny that Origin/EA Desktop is not mentioned.
Awesome work battlefield team all us battlefield fans want is a battlefield that plays more like bf bad company 2 bf3-bf4 just in a more futuristic era that’s all we want tho. Hardcore and a server browser would be a great add to the game to imo and think community would agree
Better late than never, some fantastic updates coming by the looks of it. Excited to see how the Swedish map looks - so much potential for map locations spanning all over Europe and indeed the rest of the world, almost unlimited potential
@@Itsshaunbewarned i think they meant it will be in Sweden because it's something that's close to their hearts and they're a Swedish based studio, not that it will be right near their headquarters. Might be wrong though
I love that vault guns are being brought to the game and I know that must take a lot of effort, but I would really love to see some more original 'built for the game' type guns. More guns like the SFAR, the AC-42 and the NTW-50. Unique and original, but still fitting into the old battlefield formula.
Still when I see gameplay of 2042 I can't believe that's a game that costs money tbh :D That HUD, that feel, those gun models, that menu design, those empty maps,... Like a weekend project of a game dev student
@@chuy3840 Some BF games had a bad launch too and they always improve it and they did. BF4 had also a very bad launch with lots of bugs and unplayable on multiplayer for a long time and almost a year later, it plays very good. It's never too late.
Glad to see someone who can actually appreciate the efforts gone into improving the game...its usually just trolls saying the games dead even though they haven't played in 8 months and don't want to admit it's pretty decent...
I mean with smart marketing people you could sell the map reworks as war arrived to these regions :D Love the direction, keep up the good work. I miss 128 player Breakthrough but I know I am a minority with that, loved it at launch, now Conquest 128 is my only mode (and sometimes Portal).
Man oh man this game just keeps better, I'm so excited to see what's coming. When season 1 dropped, it got me playing more but as time went on, I've been enjoying this game a whole lot more and I actually think it's severely underrated now. We desperately also need performance improvements, it's one of the major issues with this game sadly. That breakaway rework is amazing. Another map I won't be skipping anymore from the looks of it. If only the game launched this way, with those reworked maps, I think 2042 would have had a different outcome
I wish people will give this a try. All these changes are worthwhile. People forget that people can make mistakes. Props for the devs still cracking at it, would hate to be on the receiving end of all this ✊ I'm glad to see some positive comments and the appreciation 🙏
People make mistakes, an almost 20 year BF developer team should not make mistakes. Especially ones that fans have clearly spoken about from game to game. They threw this game away for a quick buck and they won't be able to come back from this imo.
Imagine a map set in the likes of Brazil similar to mw2 were your battling on a mountain filled with streets and buildings with a dam that gets destroyed and floods the Map changing the atmosphere with cars now flipped and in different points of cover, some buildings now provide less cover from destruction, parts of the streets still flooded so you swim into new tactical advantages.
Appreciate the commitment to evolve the game, when ever I've played of late, I've enjoyed. Stranded is an excellent map. Never change the Battlefield blueprint again 😎👍
More bad company 2 , bf3 and bf4 maps , really like how this game is shaping up , zoom in the map like bf4 would be nice to select squad mates also 5 squad works better
@@itsjuztt.alightskin I criticized the bad enough. It's time to appreciate the good things and the fact, the devs are actively working on making it better.
Here's how you fix HAZARD ZONE. Put vault weapons in HZ . Use HZ currency to purchase vault weapons. Add a 3rd extraction. Game start with 8 players if no one joins lobby for 10 min then cut extractions to two. Option 2. HAZARD WAR. Same mode but add conquest to it. As match goes on when tickets for either side falls below 200 Trigger Hazard zone. Advanced AI troops drop in. data drives aquired and extracted add tickets back to you team. 5 ticket per drive. Extracted then choose to leave or return to game vs standard drop in start animation.
You’d think for a game that is set in the near future they’d have WAY more guns in selection then what they have now. How’d the weapon amount get so small compared to previous titles? Did the tornados of 2042 swipe all the guns away and blew them far off somewhere scattering them throughout the earth just to find two of them in each season and call them new? Or do we just time travel through the portal mode to steal the guns from players in Bc2, 1942, and Bf3?
One thing I know the Old Dice would have NEVER done is re-do the base game maps, so props to this team for actually taking feedback into account on that. The new Breakaway looks great. Probably means the Breakthrough layout will be reverting back to the east side!
the propeller on the helicopter is still not fixed. (if the enemy is hit by the propeller can kill the enemy or friend and damage the propeller if the propeller collides with the ground or building)
The game should have launched in this state, so a year later. However I'm very happy that they have more than 4 seasons of content coming, because the game right now for me is very enjoyable, just needs more weapons and maps.
This is awesome! The game is finally getting really good overall. Still missing that "war atmosphere" but it's getting there. Would love to see a dense fog map or other weather events. Would also like to see more portal maps from older games. Adding a couple BF1 and BFV maps would be amazing. Keep up the good work!
Some nice stuff here! Can’t wait for the proper class system to return. I still would like a larger weapon line up. More handguns, more older weapons, in the main game. It’s slowly getting there, but we are still so so far from what we had in past titles. Also, I want a huge map with WATER. Battlefield: Land, SEA and air.
DICE PLEASE, no more new maps with a big boat in the middle of it for my mental health sakes! Go all in with some Naval Strikes gameplay tho. I've been waiting for it.
This is very encouraging! Wrote the game off after playing for a week or so after launch. Picked it back up in October and I’m so glad I did. Keep up the good work! There is still a lot to be done, but it is getting better!
@@TheRabidRaccoon compared to how boring it was at launch, it is much better. I wouldn’t say it is boring now, I’m having a ton of fun, but I will say there is still room for improvement. In short there just aren’t enough vehicles imo to make it feel like a real BF game, also they need to bring back squad support items like mortar strikes. We need a bit more chaos and explosions. They’re too focused on infantry and for a BF game that’s the wrong focus, especially with large maps, that’s what makes it feel boring, but again, it’s much better and less boring than it was.
This is encouraging and I give DICE props for at least making the effort to turn things around. They should pull out all the stops now and move the game forward to the next level.
Now i know why campaigns in games are important. when we would play hourglass without the sand, we knew how the map would looks like and you can feel the maps better.... but without the singleplayer we cant know anything about this.... i wish me a battlefield with much more love and details in the maps and the gameplay.
The campaign would have been horrible. I do not want to see what else the team who made this game can do. Everyone who made the previous games is gone, I hope this is the last BF ever

Tsunami for one, earthquake for one that knocks buildings over. Battlefield 4 wiped the floor with BF1, BF5 and BF2042 in terms of dynamic player instigated map changes. It was awesome.
Exactly. Miss it.
Thank you for listening to the community, devs. We would like to see some destruction ! But all around great to see that you’re not jumping ship
I like how the Xm8 lmg even though old looks like it fits in the current time still
I like how the maps used to be better for civilians and workers, and later there are downed vehicles, sandbags providing cover, as well as destroyed container piles, bringing the feel of a war in said area, that has grown and multiple battles fought there.
The breakaway map update looks cool! A swedish map would also be great👌
I hope we get PARACEL STORM version
@Botardo87 I just found the image of a blue cube in Stockholm and... yeah, that's probably gonna be it. I hope there will be a new above ground area though, cuz vehicle players are getting completely shafted if it's 100% infantry only.
@@DeadSpacedOut It would be nice to get a CQB map too.
Are all of your playtests plays on the systems with the gamepads only?
I’d like the ability to break off or make new squads in game and lock the squads like in other battlefield games so we can easily join on friends and be in there squads like every other battlefield squading system was
Breakaway looks nuts. Hopefully after all the reworks are done we can get some CQB maps and more classics in portal.
Yeah i neeeeed metro and i will play the game forever
@@Dukestona Well, you might be in luck, it looks like Season 3's Map will be a a new Version of Operation Metro, set in Stockholm Sweden. Temporyal, a big BF Leaker showed a picture of a Blue Cube and DICE are confirming the Map will be set in Sweden, in Stockholm there is a very artful and beautiful display of art in their Metro Station, which has a Blue Cube. Probably not a coincidence at all, sooo... New Metro! But keep expectations tempered just in case.
@@DeadSpacedOut thanks for this nice info buddy
@@Dukestona no problem chief, hope Season 3 is a banger!
Ya'll see the trailer?! IT LOOKS SICK AF!!!!
These changes look really good, hyped for the breakaway changes the most! Def looks like hourglass is the last map to be changed, since it needs a lot of work lol
It's the biggest map in the game aint it? I'm sure they are going to bring everything closer to the city as they did with these map changes. Still disappointed by the lack of destruction...
Yeah, I thought we'd get Discarded for Season 3, but I guess Season 4 will have a big Rework of Discarded and then Hourglass, I hope that Map is similar to that Shop Bundle Image of it... I'd love to see toppled buildings in the sand featuring very CQC areas, as well as very open areas and overall, just a very different layout.
@@DeadSpacedOut I hope they keep the A sector stadium with the changes and just do some good work with tightening everything up and really adding to the dead open areas.
@@anthonyosorio212 yep! Hopefully they do a good job!
@@MurdaFPS I like the idea of the Stadium but idk that it could be made to be CQC enough, I guess we'll just have to see.
Breakaway looks like a brand new map. Looking forward to it.
With BF2042 coming to Xbox Game Pass through EA Play I will finally give this game a try after a year of updates and content. First Battlefield I didn't play since Bad Company 2.
I would appreciate if some of the portal modes stayed around in the server browser, really enjoyed gun game a few weeks back! Also, the matchmaking is sometimes a bit of a nuissance, especially when a lot of players leave the lobby at the end of a round it can take ages to refill properly. Thanks for the updates, looking forward to the future of BF2042
Yeah their idea from round to round is the worst
And standard TDM & FFA modes should always be available / easy to launch
@@csc-photo right
All of this is a lesson, stop
releasing games unfinished!!!!!!
For real I wanna play bad company 2 and bf3 I don't know why those were only in rotation when the game launched
3 New Maps, 4 New Portal Maps. I think the Janitor working between all those companies can handle that.
They confirmed only 1 map per season not sure if that includes re worked maps.
If that was the case, I would actually buy like 50 dollars of Boins, just to celebrate.
@@DeadSpacedOut If they did I would actually buy the game.
@@stormer9952 Yeah well I already owned the game.
Portal maps would be a huge win. So many good maps from the past. Don't have to reinvent the wheel.
This looks so much better! I wonder why we couldn't have this from the beginning, when the development was supposed to be "ahead of schedule". Excited to see the reworked Breakaway! Now we only need more destruction.
I agree! More destruction would be cool but could the servers handle and maintain that? 🤔
@@joelrobertson3130 I belive in the 64 player setting the answer is yes (just think how good we had it in BFV already), whereas the 128 player servers are what got us in this mess in the first place.
@@AlligatorArndt big facts
Because higher ups wanted to make money sooner, thats how it is with every game now a days.
Honestly the return of the classic class system is my biggest want too. And for a future Battlefield game, maybe the soldiers could be fully customizable, without the specialists and those same skins for everyone. More closecombat on the maps and destruction!
We don't need very customizable soldiers. The maps, classes and teams should set the uniforms.
How about being able to claim items from past battlepasses? I didn't get to play the season 1, though I got the ultimate edition.
Ok I like what I’m seeing so far, looks like it’s an improvement on the team play side, this makes me happy.
Did you see customizable squads, with the ability to join or create one? How about joining a friend through the friends list? How about larger squad sizes for 128 player mode? What still only 4 random asses where you are the only one playing the obj while your team sits in spawn in AA or tanks or god forbid, prone sniping....
@@adroxorz ???
@@adroxorz battlefield has always had people backline sniping and sitting in spawns with vehichles
@@bodieleblanc2577 Exactly. You can NEVER force a player to perform a role on the Battlefield. Medics not reviving, supports not throwing ammo, recons sitting in spawn, etc. all nothing new to the series.
@@pathlessbullet7557 so then what was the point of adding it? It doesn't just pertain to 2042
Thank you. Thank you for listening. Finally we are getting our normal classes back. It’s great to know the devs listen to us
hardly
well not, is the same soldiers, they just add a name to classify them.
Also the expensive camos ppl buy sometimes do not show up properly especially on the lav 4 suv legendary camo on some maps
So will certain weapons be locked to certain classes?
Breakaway looks absolutely phenomenal.
Lol remembers the launch trailer. This game is embarrassing.
@@DNDaMD Not anymore
It is a big turnaround. They need to do more certainly but at least they are doing their work now with an honest heart
Just like your mom 😏
@@falconlewitteducation4941 *Hears female narrator and says “honest hearts”* loooooooool. It’s AMAZING what people can APPEAR to be doing when they can potentially be threatened with a lawsuit. This was nothing more than a cash grab gone wrong and a desperate attempt to avoid getting sued
@@AM-oj5xl EA not gonna be sued, lol
Breakaway looks incredible, the changes are huge and it's honestly heart-warming to see them not even hesitating to completely change the map. Looking forward to the update.
I still feel like we could use more maps, even Portal ones. Also, where's the love for 1942 weapons in the vault ? :(
I love how Steam is the only PC platform mentioned for F2P btw. Quite funny that Origin/EA Desktop is not mentioned.
@SlamScum Well if you play it on steam you'll need to install origin/ea desktop so it is kind of obvious that it's on origin/ea desktop as well
Awesome work battlefield team all us battlefield fans want is a battlefield that plays more like bf bad company 2 bf3-bf4 just in a more futuristic era that’s all we want tho. Hardcore and a server browser would be a great add to the game to imo and think community would agree
the end of the alpha? welcome open beta!
Better late than never, some fantastic updates coming by the looks of it. Excited to see how the Swedish map looks - so much potential for map locations spanning all over Europe and indeed the rest of the world, almost unlimited potential
dice studio is swedish
they told the map will be CLOSE TO THEIR HEARTS
next map is close to the dice studio?
@@Itsshaunbewarned i think they meant it will be in Sweden because it's something that's close to their hearts and they're a Swedish based studio, not that it will be right near their headquarters. Might be wrong though
@@conahscreations i mean the area around the dice HQ in sweden is very open so maybe its in a metro tunnel nearby?
More Maps pls 🥺 BF-3,4,5,1 Portal Maps
5,1? 🤡
@@fahrenheyt451x 🤡 white boy
ah yes Verdun in 2042
@@velaikka 🤡
I love that vault guns are being brought to the game and I know that must take a lot of effort, but I would really love to see some more original 'built for the game' type guns. More guns like the SFAR, the AC-42 and the NTW-50. Unique and original, but still fitting into the old battlefield formula.
2:00 - bro breakdanced back to life
Let’s hope there is something to look forward to like squad points/call ins, offical servers, battlefield 1 Remake/portal 🙏 😂
Lmao nope
i hope so... but no :D ...
Still too soon for a Battlefield 1 remake. It would be great but now the game still looks good xD
@@carlosdiazsanchez19 Looks better tbh 🤣
I never expected year 2 updates. Well Done DICE.
Except the first 12 months of post release were dedicated to fixing the game. 😡🤬😡
@@MajPickles At least they didn't give up 2042 just like Battlefield V
Yeah maybe after 4 years it might be a working game with the same amount of content we used to get within 12 months.
@@neilpearson26 yep! Pretty much. So Sonje. Please stop complimenting DICE like they've done us a favour. We spent alot of money to buy this game
@@sonje2121 true. That was so frustrating. The game started actually getting good! Then they called time on development to concentrate on BFV
Still when I see gameplay of 2042 I can't believe that's a game that costs money tbh :D That HUD, that feel, those gun models, that menu design, those empty maps,... Like a weekend project of a game dev student
did they add peaking at the end there ?
Looks good so far... I hope Season 3 and 4 brings more things
You'll get one map and a couple of guns. A quarter of a dlc is all Dice can mange every 3 months now apparently
One step further in the right direction. Keep up the good work!! Love it
enjoy the slow drip ,this game is dead ,just a bot scape now
@@chuy3840 it’s not too late, it’s never too late.
@@chuy3840 Some BF games had a bad launch too and they always improve it and they did. BF4 had also a very bad launch with lots of bugs and unplayable on multiplayer for a long time and almost a year later, it plays very good. It's never too late.
Glad to see someone who can actually appreciate the efforts gone into improving the game...its usually just trolls saying the games dead even though they haven't played in 8 months and don't want to admit it's pretty decent...
@@chuy3840
Always negative.
@LUKE77 - It's your clip at the end! 😃
I mean with smart marketing people you could sell the map reworks as war arrived to these regions :D
Love the direction, keep up the good work.
I miss 128 player Breakthrough but I know I am a minority with that, loved it at launch, now Conquest 128 is my only mode (and sometimes Portal).
Man oh man this game just keeps better, I'm so excited to see what's coming. When season 1 dropped, it got me playing more but as time went on, I've been enjoying this game a whole lot more and I actually think it's severely underrated now. We desperately also need performance improvements, it's one of the major issues with this game sadly. That breakaway rework is amazing. Another map I won't be skipping anymore from the looks of it. If only the game launched this way, with those reworked maps, I think 2042 would have had a different outcome
Players should give it a second try ,,, its amazing more and more
I wish people will give this a try. All these changes are worthwhile. People forget that people can make mistakes. Props for the devs still cracking at it, would hate to be on the receiving end of all this ✊ I'm glad to see some positive comments and the appreciation 🙏
Game is still in beta form. I will give it a try when its done.
People make mistakes, an almost 20 year BF developer team should not make mistakes. Especially ones that fans have clearly spoken about from game to game. They threw this game away for a quick buck and they won't be able to come back from this imo.
@@milkylopez9146 No it isn't, lmfao.
@@Agell What you laughing at? That you like a trash game?
@@milkylopez9146 I'm laughing at you, you clown.
Imagine a map set in the likes of Brazil similar to mw2 were your battling on a mountain filled with streets and buildings with a dam that gets destroyed and floods the Map changing the atmosphere with cars now flipped and in different points of cover, some buildings now provide less cover from destruction, parts of the streets still flooded so you swim into new tactical advantages.
The biggest thing I want is the ability to choose what maps will be possible when I match make. I want to leave certain maps out of the rotation.
Appreciate the commitment to evolve the game, when ever I've played of late, I've enjoyed. Stranded is an excellent map. Never change the Battlefield blueprint again 😎👍
Give me the goods DICE.
Pathetic you said
There are some goods on xbox website
hopefully they make squads great again, and leader could call out an ac-130
@@mandu0114 can you link me?
@@ECfuckingW22 i said i want goods, not bads :(
More bad company 2 , bf3 and bf4 maps , really like how this game is shaping up , zoom in the map like bf4 would be nice to select squad mates also 5 squad works better
A five man squad would be nice, but my hopes aren't high.
That year 2 confirmation caught me off guard
It’s crazy that battlefield is finally adding classes to the game after a year of its release, a staple of the game no less lmao
Still wont be CLASSES with those goofy specialists
Slowly but steady bringing back the good old Battlefield spirit we all love. I like it! Keep it on guys! 👍
Still is that bf a mess from the vehicle balance to the weapons
@@itsjuztt.alightskin many battlefields were a glitchy mess when they released
@@itsjuztt.alightskin I criticized the bad enough. It's time to appreciate the good things and the fact, the devs are actively working on making it better.
@@itsjuztt.alightskin both are being worked on
Please, all classic maps in the principal rotation
Here's how you fix HAZARD ZONE. Put vault weapons in HZ . Use HZ currency to purchase vault weapons. Add a 3rd extraction. Game start with 8 players if no one joins lobby for 10 min then cut extractions to two. Option 2. HAZARD WAR. Same mode but add conquest to it. As match goes on when tickets for either side falls below 200 Trigger Hazard zone. Advanced AI troops drop in. data drives aquired and extracted add tickets back to you team. 5 ticket per drive. Extracted then choose to leave or return to game vs standard drop in start animation.
I'm glad we finally got some confirmation for content past season 4. Looking good DICE
I like the changes about the existing maps.
But sadly again only one new map :(
I would like to see more vault maps on portal :)
Ooh vault weapons, where’d you get that idea from I wonder?
3:14 Is that the song for the New map? Sounds good...
You’d think for a game that is set in the near future they’d have WAY more guns in selection then what they have now. How’d the weapon amount get so small compared to previous titles? Did the tornados of 2042 swipe all the guns away and blew them far off somewhere scattering them throughout the earth just to find two of them in each season and call them new? Or do we just time travel through the portal mode to steal the guns from players in Bc2, 1942, and Bf3?
One thing I know the Old Dice would have NEVER done is re-do the base game maps, so props to this team for actually taking feedback into account on that. The new Breakaway looks great. Probably means the Breakthrough layout will be reverting back to the east side!
Cheaper to move stuff around in an existing map. Costs alot more to make a new map and it might suck also.
3:56
Okay, I see what you did there.
the propeller on the helicopter is still not fixed. (if the enemy is hit by the propeller can kill the enemy or friend and damage the propeller if the propeller collides with the ground or building)
The game should have launched in this state, so a year later. However I'm very happy that they have more than 4 seasons of content coming, because the game right now for me is very enjoyable, just needs more weapons and maps.
At 5:39, they showcased the helicopters propellers going through the player. Do helicopter propellers no longer damage the player?
They have never donde damage, you can do what’s shown in the video since the beginning
the propellers never did any damge
@@Famo8610 I could have sworn they did damage in Battlefield 4, if so, did they remove that feature?
Free to Play for Battlefield 2042 is going to be HUGE
Is there a way we can sneak in the default classes (the AI soldiers) as playable characters?
Looking good, hope to see strong support past season 4... would love to see CQC make a return as a game mode
This is awesome! The game is finally getting really good overall. Still missing that "war atmosphere" but it's getting there. Would love to see a dense fog map or other weather events. Would also like to see more portal maps from older games. Adding a couple BF1 and BFV maps would be amazing. Keep up the good work!
Also i hope they add a map similar to paracel storm map from bf4
I'd rather a light fog than dense, only because we want good visibility.
Yup, not gonna lie, is almost making me come back again from BF4.
Just waiting for a discount offer lol
@@FcoEnriquePerez I'm sure there will be sales in the future! It will be on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in December. Come join the fun! Lol
As a longtime fan of battlefield I appreciate these updates
Any performance uplifts tho?
Some nice stuff here! Can’t wait for the proper class system to return. I still would like a larger weapon line up. More handguns, more older weapons, in the main game. It’s slowly getting there, but we are still so so far from what we had in past titles.
Also, I want a huge map with WATER. Battlefield: Land, SEA and air.
Hopefully and there’s good content the last update I actually very much enjoyed
need many maps. its good u make more cover around the maps.
So year 1 was 2 seasons? Or is seasons 3 and 4 part of year one?
Year 1 4 Seasons as described by the Year 1 Pass.
Year 2 will probably be another 4.
DICE PLEASE, no more new maps with a big boat in the middle of it for my mental health sakes! Go all in with some Naval Strikes gameplay tho. I've been waiting for it.
This is very encouraging! Wrote the game off after playing for a week or so after launch. Picked it back up in October and I’m so glad I did. Keep up the good work! There is still a lot to be done, but it is getting better!
Same here, Im impressed with what they are doing to the game going forward now.
Don't lie. The game still lacks atmosphere and still boring.
@@TheRabidRaccoon yeah this is trash compared to the og bf games like bf 3 and 4
@@TheRabidRaccoon for you and stop saying that he is lying even do he giving his opinion
@@TheRabidRaccoon compared to how boring it was at launch, it is much better. I wouldn’t say it is boring now, I’m having a ton of fun, but I will say there is still room for improvement. In short there just aren’t enough vehicles imo to make it feel like a real BF game, also they need to bring back squad support items like mortar strikes. We need a bit more chaos and explosions. They’re too focused on infantry and for a BF game that’s the wrong focus, especially with large maps, that’s what makes it feel boring, but again, it’s much better and less boring than it was.
Just imagin there were a map called "SHANGHAI" implemented from BF4. 👍👍👍
You could also make the soldiers a little bit bigger. They're a lot smaller than previous BF's.
This is encouraging and I give DICE props for at least making the effort to turn things around.
They should pull out all the stops now and move the game forward to the next level.
Now i know why campaigns in games are important. when we would play hourglass without the sand, we knew how the map would looks like and you can feel the maps better.... but without the singleplayer we cant know anything about this.... i wish me a battlefield with much more love and details in the maps and the gameplay.
The campaign would have been horrible. I do not want to see what else the team who made this game can do. Everyone who made the previous games is gone, I hope this is the last BF ever
Games can be online only.
But the bar has to be high on initial launch.
not even the sand can hide all the empty buildings: playing in a map without anything but a few white walls would be awesome for a campaign
Updates are great but I will still never forgive how the game launched. I appreciate the people working behind the scenes though.
all these updates are definetly improving the game, its just unfortunate that they werent already present at launch as they should have been
