In lawsuit you weren’t already aware, Battlefield 2042 is simply a crippled that was released successful the mediate of a pandemic without anyplace near enough plan enactment oregon investigating being done for specified a flagship release. Our latest reminder of this comes successful the signifier of an update which volition kinda undo 1 of its large selling points astatine launch.

2042 made a immense woody pre-release astir its caller “Specialists”, hero-type characters with flexible loadouts who would regenerate the bid tried-and-tested “Class” strategy (multiplayer FPS archetypes similar ‘Recon’ and ‘Assault’). Those Specialists were wildly unpopular with long-time fans, some for their gameplay implications arsenic good arsenic their design, and portion the second is already being addressed it looks similar developers DICE person been convinced to besides rework the former.

In a large update posted by the improvement team, it’s revealed that they person “started enactment connected a monolithic overhaul connected the mode that you’ll play with Specialists”, which fundamentally is going to divided the quality betwixt the accepted strategy and 2042's usage of Specialists. The leader characters are going to remain, but they’ll beryllium assigned into people tiers (see above), with immoderate gadget usage restricted betwixt classes to “ensure that Class Identity is much pronounced”. So lone recon players volition beryllium capable to usage a SOFLAM, for example, portion aesculapian crates volition lone beryllium disposable to enactment players. As idiosyncratic who mains Mackay (in the ‘Assault’ class) but uses the SOFLAM a batch that sucks, but I conjecture we’ll spot however it each shakes retired erstwhile the changes spell unrecorded (which won’t beryllium for a while, since DICE accidental it won’t beryllium until Season 3).

Other changes coming successful and astir Season 2 volition beryllium 3 caller weapons (two mains and a sidearm), as good arsenic refreshes to 2 of the game’s motorboat maps, Renewal and Orbital, which are coming alongside different marque caller map. DICE volition besides commencement adding immoderate “vault” weapons to the main game, which are guns from the time-travelling Portal game mode, arsenic good arsenic continuing the ocular refresh of each the Specialists, specifically ‘Voices, Body Posture, and Facial Expression changes”.
