This map set in South Korea features plenty of opportunities for classic 'Battlefield' moments These 'No-Pats' fight on behalf of the United States and Russia as proxies in a global war and an opportunity to explore the nature of warfare or the moral grey areas of sending people to fight under a flag that isn't their own is missed. The premise is an interesting spin on the typical military shooter the world has become engulfed in climate and economic disaster, leading to a rise of 'No-Pats', soldiers left without a country after natural disasters.

The mode allows 128 players to play on old series maps from the likes of 'Bad Company 2' or 'Battlefield 3' and tearing up small maps with 2021 graphics and technology is in a word, an absolute joy. If there is one thing we would recommend picking up 'Battlefield 2042' for, it's Portal mode. The initial epic 64 player rush at the start of matches is rarely replicated in moment-to-moment gameplay. In the heat of battle, you don't have that extra half-second to tell one team from the other leading to needless countless death and the game becomes an exercise in frustration in the process. If you happen to pick Boris, your teammate picks Boris, and 3 other players on the other side pick Boris, the difference between friend and foe becomes wafer-thin. There are 10 specialists to choose from and are variations of the traditional Assault, Support, Recon and Medic classes, but thereupon lies the major problem with the game it's trying to be something it's not.ĮA and Dice certainly hope that players pick a favourite specialist for sweet revenue and word-of-mouth marketing purposes, but in the process, the game loses a major part of its identity. Brave players can use the weather effects to their advantage to traverse the maps Some players may decide to drive their vehicle directly into the storm to give them a boost and transport them to another area of the map, or other players may take advantage of the worsening weather conditions to disguise themselves. In the unscripted moments like that, where players do their best Tom Cruise impression to try outrun a force of nature, the game truly shines.
The most substantial change to the 'Battlefield' formula is the addition of unscripted weather events that change the map.Įvery so often, a massive tornado will spawn on the map - it usually gives players enough advance notice to get out of the way, but for unsavvy players, the map will darken and suddenly find themselves facing down a tornado that takes up the length of the screen. Previous games in the 'Battlefield' series can be characterised by its chaotic sweeping battles, and with modern console technology having 63 other teammates rush into the fray as the music swells is one of those great gaming moments designed to hit the endorphin receptors. It seems not even the riches of EA can answer this problem, and in their latest attempt to make their 'Battlefield' franchise the next smash hit shooter franchise it eroded the identity of its venerable FPS series for the sake of catching up to rivals.
Who would want to be a game developer in the wake of 'Fortnite'? It's not merely enough to release a FPS with a decent campaign and a selection of memorable maps, players now demand and expect more to be added to a game.
