“Battlefield 2042” is the latest work in the “Battlefield” FPS multiplayer series. After being released on November 19, 2019, this work had a number of bugs and performance issues. Player population and user review ratings are slow on Steam. The developer is working to improve the situation with regular updates and in June of this year Season 1 will begin and resume.

In the third season of this work, new specialists, new maps and “new hardware” will appear as new content. In addition, the “Manifest” and “Breakaway” maps have been reorganized. In addition, the “Soldier System” will be revived, reminiscent of the previous series.
First of all, as regards the relaunch of the troop system, in advanceinformIt is the centerpiece of season 3 that has been made. In the troop system of this work, each specialist is classified into four types: assault soldiers, engineers, support soldiers and reconnaissance soldiers. Shock Soldiers excel at gunfights, while Engineer Soldiers specialize in vehicle repair and destruction. The roles of specialists are more broadly and clearly delimited. And this time we will explain in more detail the “weapons proficiency” system, which is a mechanism that allows you to achieve more beneficial effects by combining military classes and types of weapons. Examples included:
- Assault Soldier – Assault Rifle Expert
- You can now fire your assault rifle faster after sprinting
- Engineer – Utility Expert
- Increased reload capacity of utility weapons
- Support Class – LMG Expert
- LMG is equipped with an additional magazine, which increases the power when the bipod is deployed
- Recon – Sniper Rifle Expert
- It takes less time to hold and stabilize your breath, and you can hold your breath longer
As for map adjustment, the “poster” seems to change first. It will improve map visibility, brighter lighting and easier aiming when searching for enemies. On the other hand, the ease of shielding has been improved and unnecessary play space has been eliminated by adjusting the distance of the flag. And at the beginning of 2023 the new “Breakaway” will appear. It looks like a “dramatic full improvement” will be made.
The new content includes a new Specialist for the Assault class. Weapons like the Battlefield 3 A-91 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2’s XM8 are set to return early in Season 3. Additionally, “completely new hardware developed for Season 3” will be implemented. Weapons and gadgets may appear that surprise players. Additionally, Season 3 will also feature the places the Battlefield series has always wanted to reach in its 20-year history.
And in December, this work will have a free play period for all platforms that are distributed. According to the update video, it looks like the free game will be available from 1st to 4th for Xbox, 1st to 5th for PC (Steam), and 16th to 23rd for PS.
