Battlefield 2042

 
Dev Notes - StadiumApr 25, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThe Stadium was once a secondary point of interest with sporadic combat within Hourglass. On April 30, it becomes the point of interest as Stadium returns as a standalone infantry-only map! Let’s venture back to last year, and how the team worked to bring it back. A PLACE OF TRIBUTE Released alongside Update 5.2, Hourglass represented the final rework of our launch map offering. It brought with it improvements to flow and cover, and included new locations and capture points. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/1302da051cc7a2ae28b6d9f888a32b2eda96919a.png As part of this rework process, and to meet our goal of increased pathing, cover, and flow throughout the map, we removed Stadium as a flag location within Hourglass. As a result, this allowed us to create new areas across the entirety of Hourglass to create a better overall gameplay experience. Once the reworked version of Hourglass launched, it was clear through feedback from many of you that we weren’t done with Stadium just yet. We soon decided to bring it back not only to say thank you for your patience as we underwent the rework process of some of our base locations on Battlefield 2042, but also to meet your request for more infantry-only maps. FAMILIAR SANDS. NEW OPPORTUNITY. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/a7f986357eb59c67e789eac030854faab1e40aed.jpg With Stadium also releasing during Season 7: Turning Point, we wanted to ensure it contrasted Haven, this Season’s brand new map, which focused on urban warfare and combined arms. That means we decided to make Stadium an infantry-only experience, which also fits well with its overall layout and already existing gameplay opportunities. Within the map itself there is also a contrast between open outdoor spaces, and further linear close-quarters combat scenarios. For you as a player this opens up the opportunity to use different weapon ranges, and utilize new routes and access points to your encounters with enemies. As a final contrast, this will also make Stadium stand out from Redacted, our other infantry-only focused map within our roster. EXPLORING THE STADIUM. Alongside its gameplay flow, we also improved lighting across the Stadium, and its flags have received improved visuals. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/bf5275611444ff21cbd5451ea673173a665680cb.jpg BEFORE {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/6b80b9ab40705bd6030bd21be0176dcf43b0ad4f.jpg AFTER We’ve also added cover and line-of-sight blockers that fit within the themes of each flag. For example, we expanded the Promenade’s exterior with more structures that match the architecture of the Stadium itself alongside a clear military presence buildup in the location. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/f74626c58a1b72d06d651a5a32049fbcd70dedda.jpg The new areas of cover we added across the different floors of the Stadium also offer many new opportunities for gameplay. In place of the elevators you’ll now see ziplines, which provide better pacing and navigation throughout the floors. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/209bc220caa549f...Last chance to play the Crimson Front eventApr 23, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsFight in a returning fan-favorite mode: Frontlines Push forward, destroy the objectives, and hold the line across 4 maps Secure time-limited event cosmetics Join double XP weekends {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/27cdebfde14ad666dd7057edede931447b6f92a1.jpg Play the Crimson Front event between April 16 - April 30.

With the Crimson Front Event unfolding in Battlefield™ 2042, get ready to experience the unprecedented global assault by the Ground Forces' 4th Battalion of the Thousand Petal Coalition. Known as The Red Hand, this experienced and lethal battalion is reputed for pushing the front lines and never falling back. Join us between April 16 and April 30, 2024* for our new time-limited event. An intense tug-of-war experience that will require everything you got to come out on top. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/248d44208a83af940a8a54433ec070c75d5526ff.jpg Push the Frontlines, destroy the M-COMs Frontlines was a fan-favorite mode in Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V, and we're excited for it to return as a new time-limited game mode within Season 7: Turning Point. As a mixture of Conquest and Rush, expect a strategic, intensive and fast-paced combat experience focused on relentless assault. You must secure each sector and advance into enemy territory to reach their ultimate defensive line. Upon reaching the enemy's final line of defense, your goal is to arm and eliminate the enemy's M-COMs to secure a win. However, reinforcements are limited! And if depleted, you will be forced to retreat to the previous sector. Frontlines is a 20v20 tug-of-war experience, playable on Haven, Reclaimed, Discarded, and Redacted. Dominate the Frontlines To ensure you have the upper hand, the team provides us with some tips to share with you: 1. Outflank the enemy: In all but the final sectors, Frontlines is played on one objective at a time. Capturing the objective is vital, but when your teammates are on the point, you can mount an aggressive offense by outflanking the enemy and blocking paths from their HQ to the flag, forcing them back and moving the frontline to your advantage. Adapt to your situation intelligently and respond to the actions of your teammates! 2. Capitalize on momentum: When you capture an objective and push the frontline, you can't afford to slow down. Push towards the next objective before the retreating enemy can set up a defense. 3. Staging a comeback: New to Battlefield 2042's iteration of Frontlines, the defending team in the final sector gets access to vehicles. Make the most of this vital opportunity and push the enemy back with your increased firepower. The longer the vehicle survives, the more damage you can do, even taking it with you into the next objectives if your M-COMs survive the enemy's final push. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/ab5d0787afe1b211b2d0354efcf019508707ce83.jpg Push Forward - In Frontlines, secure each sector and push into hostile territory to reach the enemy’s final defensive line. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/f932913419347c1895952731e1f1c61c44950d9c.jpg Destroy the M-COMs - When you reach the enemy’s final defensive line, arm and destroy their M-COMs to achieve victory. Be advised: your reinforcements are limited. If they’re depleted, you must fall back to the previous sector. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/...Frontlines Mode Returns - Time-Limited Event TrailerApr 11, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsPush forward.

Fixed some issues where the AK-24 had a misaligned Iron Sight on a range of weapon cosmetics.
