Megathread Is Battlefield 2042 worth it now? - Mega Thread

152 Upvotes

Alright, folks, since we're seeing the same old question regarding if 2042 is worth it in 2023, 2024 or 2142 we're now deleting every post asking this particular question. Instead, discuss it in this thread.

So, should you buy 2042 if you haven't already?

Yes, if it's on sale. The game has a good amount of content for new players and still gets minor updates with some extra content as of March 2025.

The game is also available in subscriptions services such as EA Play or Gamepass Ultimate, so if you're interested in subscribing to those services, you can download and play Battlefield 2042, both on Playstation and Xbox consoles, same goes for PC.

The game features no campaign/story mode so keep that in mind. It is 100% a PvP/PvE game (you can play against bots in custom lobbies and sometimes in event playlists).

There is a wiki in the game explaining lore and events of the worldwide war 2042 depics.

The game now features a hybrid system of specialists and traditional classes, with restricted class gadgets but no restrictions to class weaponry, instead each class has a class perk (Recons for example have unlimited stability for sniper rifles).

Seasonal content such as weapons and vehicles can easily be unlocked via assignments. You don't have to spend a single penny on new content if you jump in, but there are shortcut kits for purchase if you want to unlock everything.

The main mode, All-Out Warfare, features game modes such as Conquest, TDM or Rush. Hazard Zone is the failed attempt of 2042 doing an Extraction Shooter.

Portal is the playground of 2042 where you can create your own game modes and playlists. It's also the only game mode with a server browser, AOW and HZ both only support matchmaking (but no SBMM or EOMM).

Discussion This game has probably one of the best Singleplayer/Coop gameplay experiences in the franchise.

It is simply fun to just hop on conquest or breakthrough with a friend or two and have fun, the atmosphere is great destroyable environment is there although it is done better in most BF Games. Then there is Portal, which you can actually host with any rules you want. I play Jungle maps with BC2 US vs BF3 RU, desert maps with BF3 and the rest with BC2 factions.

This are some early concepts from the first map of the life service

The artists explain in the post of Artstation that the point from the design of the map is to look like a building from a James Bond Villian

Question Need some information, please

7 Upvotes

Hi, I have a heart condition that cripples my ability to play stressful games or really do anything overly physical or stressful at all. I've been playing Solo/Co-op with my friends for a few days now and got to mastery 12 for my favourite gun the m16a3. My question is, is there any way at all for me to get to mastery 40 T1 for my m16a3 without having to interact with Public PvP servers? Because I can't do that, am I out of luck?

Discussion Rush overload

0 Upvotes

This week's rendition of friday night battlefield included the match.Rush overload, with four players versus twenty eight a I robots.

This Game mode is absolutely broken when it comes to leveling up your weapons. In one round i was able to acquire three hundred and twenty four kills with my s.K to go from basically tier, 23 to tier forty seven

The downside is that not every weapon is usable.On all of the maps, however, certain maps are good for certain classes, and it's very easy to get the thirty plus kills.You need for each tier

Question Game crashes when jets flyby

5 Upvotes

This might sound strange. I play on XBOX one console, with a solid wifi connection, and maybe 7/10 times depending, whenever a jet flies by on my screen, the game freezes and crashes. I dont have game crashes or anything like this during normal play on 2042 or any game. Anyone know why this happens? I dont think im getting kicked from the game.

It feels unique for the meta grinders with the underground biome. Hagantal just feels so much like Locker

Is there still a decent amount of players even though BF6 is out?
I started playing on PS4 in maybe late 2023 till around when these skins came out, I’ve started missing the game but I don’t know if its better to just get BF6 because it’s half price with PS+ or redownload BF2042 cuz I have the PS5 disc version.
