Report: Battlefield 2042 Battle Pass Confirmed, Beta Early Access and Perks Outlined for “Members”

There will be a Battlefield 2042 Battle Pass confirmed! Members of a subscription service will get perks like early beta access & more.

TheExecutioner1070d ago

battle pass, it means the multiplayer can be downloaded free separately?

excaliburps1070d ago

Nope. It just means there most likely won't be map packs or Season Passes.

JEECE1070d ago

Yeah, I think after BF1 they finally realized that selling maps splits the community too much.

Highrevz1070d ago

I’ll take battle pass over paid dlc anyday

Nothing worse the then going to play a multiplayer game to find out everyone’s playing on new maps which you don’t own. The only people who benefited from it was people that played the game frequently.

Teflon021070d ago

Nope, not only free games have battle passes. Paid ones do too.

Well yeah because it’s lazy not asking for 30/35 hours like last of us 2 but come on pure lazy EA. The online doesn’t change that much few maps etc and they’ll
Be charging full price for this revolutionary (still pretty much the same as BF5 online) it’s lazy and it’s 🐎 💩 I’ll wait for the free copies EA got enough 💰 😑🤣

EA really should be free to play at this point things like Fifa being £60-100 each year (then 10/20 within 3 months) utter joke for new kits new squads and a new number on the end. 🤷🏻‍♂️😑

Silly gameAr1070d ago

I don't like the way any of this sounds. Brings my excitement down a bit.

nommers1070d ago

A price increase and less content eh...I think they're trying to test the waters as much as they can. Hopefully people come to their senses this generation.

RosweeSon1070d ago

Hope so but doubtful people lap up EA each and every year. My advice take a year off get the previous years one after the new one gets announced much much cheaper

Another? ANOTHER?

Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.

Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.

''is building ‘another tremendous LIE service’''

just_looken6d ago

This is nothing too new
https://www.eurogamer.net/e...

They had plans of a universe of live service games

Also these studios made 2042 there is no new massive team its the same team
https://www.eurogamer.net/t...

Well same team minus the seattle boys that were canned
https://gamerant.com/ea-bat...

This is all again same news different year but it seems very few remember what happened before covid.

Walalon5d ago

At least they put car freshner trees up their asses to think smelling their own farts smells good at this point to be so out of touch.

RaidenBlack7d ago

Just make another Battlefield 2 ... or BadCompany 3 ... EA

XiNatsuDragnel7d ago

Bad company 3 instead of live service bs

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.

Streamer Claims DICE Paid Over 60 Content Creators for Battlefield 2042 Feedback, Then Ignored It

Streamer Shroud says that DICE paid 60 to a hundred content creators to help develop Battlefield 2042, but ignored every single advice.

GoodGuy0949d ago

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_48d 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.

Gamingsince198148d ago

I want them to do a new bad company instead

DustMan47d 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.

Kornholic48d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL48d ago

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

Kornholic48d 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?

jznrpg48d 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

badboyz0948d ago

who would've thought🤷‍♀️

Yi-Long48d ago (Edited 48d 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.
