squad & heroes mechanic from Battlefront 2 (called 'professionals' in 2042)
can have a specialist (professional) per class in your squad,
they are not over-powered but they have a gadget or two that will make it worth playing as one
makes then unique.
medic professional has a healing dart, she can heal people from range.
every squad has the ability to call down (Spawn down) vehicles
the leaked logo is 100% real
maps are the biggest in Battlefield history
- playable map when early access drops, sectors have points inside of them.
In order to capture a sector you need to capture the points inside of it.
every sector can range from 3 - 4 points. Once you capture a sector you own it, it can not be taken back.
one sector is the size of one Battlefield map (medium-sized battlefield 3 maps specifically)
- a map takes place in antarctica, called SHELF.
large cliff alike damavand peak from Battlefield 3 but much, much bigger.
Sectors on top of the map, if you own a sector you get down-time to do whatever you want for a while in-game.
You can capture a sector on the top of the cliff, when you have that downtime you can capture the sector at the bottom of the cliff.
main goal in bf2042 is to be squad based, you pre-plan and execute on those plans. not literally, but within a group of friends.
rush returns, heavy focus on teamwork & not lonewolving.
two trailers that have not been leaked & not teased yet are finished and ready to go.
- 20 years after Battlefield 4 (2024)
- 64v64 seen and tested, will be announced on the 9th alongside everything else.
- crossplay not at launch, old-gen (xbox one & ps4 can't handle it.)
- Levolution returns, more akin to Battlefield Hardline,
looks gnarly but not as effective to the map as Siege of Shanghai tower.
- tornados & "Twisters" show up on the map, every map has a twister but not every map has a tornado.
twisters can pick up cars but can't throw them like the Tornado.
- floppy_ragdoll did not leak the images as people believe, they were posted in a private chat between insiders/game changers.
- a bunch of big name streamers and youtubers will be testing on the 15th privately
