DICE and EA have formally delayed the sport’s first season to early summer time, and can use the additional time to repair the core expertise. The subsequent BF2042 replace will convey a revamped, easier-to-digest scoreboard, whereas higher participant profiles and long-awaited voice chat performance are coming “as soon as possible.” There will probably be enhancements to squad mechanisms, the ping system, goal rewards and Portal mode, DICE added.

The studio equally promised a greater suggestions loop. The BF2042 workforce will publicly focus on main areas for deliberate enchancment, together with its current technique. Staff will take heed to the group’s response to these topics and roll the suggestions into the related updates. There will probably be conversations for smaller refinements, too. This open-book strategy definitely is not new for recreation creators, however it’s an acknowledgment this newest Battlefield did not match participant expectations.

As for season one? DICE is shy on particulars, nevertheless it did promise BF2042 Gold and Ultimate Edition patrons will get a “Steadfast” bundle in return for the wait. The pack will embody a melee weapon, participant imagery and skins for weapons, a Specialist and a automobile. While that is a far cry from what’s anticipated from the 4 supposed seasons (together with new Specialists), it may be a small consolation for many who spent additional.
