Джефф Грабб: DICE "быстро, грязно и дешево" забросит поддержку Battlefield 2042

Официально: DICE отказалась от идеи боев на 128 человек в Battlefield 2042

В рамках рекламной кампании шутера Battlefield 2042 издательство EA и студия DICE пытались соблазнить игроков идеей масштабных сражений на гигантских картах, в которых смогут принять участие до 128 человек одновременно. Но спустя полгода разработчики признали полный провал концепции.

Нулевой час с мизером контента: Представлен релизный трейлер Battlefield 2042: Zero Hour

Battlefield 2042 Season 1 starts this week

Battlefield 2042 has had what can charitably be called a tough launch, but eight months later it's ready to turn the corner. Battlefield 2042 Season 1 starts June 9, and with it comes the multiplayer game's first battle pass, which adds a new specialist, new weapons and vehicles, and an awe-inspiring new map set in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Battlefield 2042 Season One is called Zero Hour, and its 100-tier battle pass provides the backbone for the new content it introduces to the game. Like other battle passes, there are free and premium tracks, and EA/DICE says that everything that impacts gameplay can be earned on the free track. The premium track includes cosmetics and in-game currency that can be used in the Battlefield shop. The takeaway is that you won't need to spend another dime in order to unlock the new gameplay content coming to Battlefield 2042 this season.

The trailer is a good showcase of the scenic new map, Exposure. Set high in the mountains, the map features wide open fields that fall away in sheer cliffs and rock slides into a ravine below that's opened up due to a major earthquake. It's extremely vertical, with plenty of space for air combat and wingsuiting. For players who prefer close quarters combat, there's a secret military facility carved into the mountain that features tunnels, server rooms, and bunker emplacements ripe for intense brawls. Exposure supports 64 players in Breakthrough and 128 players in Conquest mode.
