At E3 2021, Microsoft and DICE presented the first gameplay trailer for Battlefield 2042. This trailer features pre-alpha gameplay footage with up to 128 players. Since it’s pre-alpha footage, it does not represent the quality of the final product. Still, it will give you an idea of what you can expect from it.
Battlefield 2042 will introduce 7 vast maps for up to 128* players. From Seoul’s cities to Egypt’s deserts, every map promises to offer a unique experience based on the natural environment.
Players will be able to customize weapons, gadgets and vehicles in-battle to tip the scales in their favor. Additionally, they can summon a robotic dog built for battle, employ a grappling hook or don your very own wingsuit.
Moreover, players can choose their role on the battlefield and form hand-tailored squads through the new Specialist system. Based on Battlefield’s four Classes, Specialists have one unique Specialty and Trait – but the rest of the loadout is fully customizable.
Battlefield 2042 will be using the Frostbite Engine and will release on October 22nd.
Enjoy!

I see helicopters.. I pre-order.
Im just happy it feels like a more nervous and faster BF4 as for the visuals sure they are not a big jump but its understandable if they pushed the map and playercount size and demolition.
your experience will be nothing like that, especially with 128 players. it’s going to be a giant shet show.
Exactly as it should be
Looks fantastic. This is what i wanted from BF so im happy honestly.
what looks fantastic? Doesnt even look next gen, could be done on old consoles.
“so yeah how we make a new interesting bf game? I know we gonna put a grappling hook and a red tint effect, GENIUS”
MEH.
Sure thing buddy, see you in-game.

Hahahahaha here we go again.
The trailer and gameplay reveal turned out to be great and you’re still in your fake outrage mode.
Jesus fkin christ.
what is so great? Looks like a last gen game, the only new thing is the grapple hook.
There was a grapple hook in Hardline.
