Battlefield 2042 seems to encourage play rather than competition.

But even if we had been allowed to voice chat, which will be possible in the full release, I don’t think we would have been much more organized. Spoiler: mostly trying to blow up the rocket (which you can do after it initiates its launch sequence). While I could see my squadmates within the map, highlighted in green, I had no idea what they had planned. Without voice chat, this just didn’t happen. What’s more, due to the number of players, the teams are split into squads of about five, with each squad meant to play its own role in the overall victory. It meant that teams were mostly running around like headless chickens, which isn’t ideal for maps of this size. While I was running a Discord voice chat with one other journalist I knew, the feature was unavailable in-game (at least during the open beta we played), preventing us from sharing our thoughts and plans with our team members. Our venture into the tunnel probably would have been more successful had voice chat been working. Team work makes the dream work – tornados aside It made me feel like a very small cog in a much larger machine, but in the best possible way. At one point I was simply walking to a destination and overhead a vicious dogfight was taking place. The clusters are brilliant and they mean that, wherever you go, there is action happening.
The next time, we were more prepared, coming in with grenades to take out the troublesome turret before pushing the US out of the system and claiming victory. An evil Boris had set up his turret out of the line of sight within the tunnel, meaning we were down the stairs before we knew it was there – myself and fellow team members were quickly gunned down, while a few more fought valiantly on, the flash of their guns lighting up the darkness. There were plenty of us after all.Īs we moved through the darkness, I saw a glint of light and immediately knew it was all over. The tunnel system was dark and definitely filled with enemies but, as my team was losing control of the sector, we decided to push through the tunnel in an effort to clear it out. The best experience I had with a cluster was in a tunnel system in a northern sector of the map. Clusters are points within sectors that naturally encourage players to swarm, resulting in big ol’ firefights. Sure, the map has scaled with the player size, but I never struggled to find an enemy or a teammate when on foot, and there are so many players that the action never stops.īut it’s in Battlefield 2042’s “clusters,” as developer EA Dice calls them, that the real fun happens. While you won’t constantly run into a plethora of enemies constantly, you will nearly always come across someone wherever you are. That’s perhaps the biggest benefit from Battlefield 2042’s increased player size: there’s just no letting up. His turret provided me with the extra cover I so desperately needed as I got to grips with Battlefield 2042 and the swarming enemy soldiers that scurried around the map like aggressive ants at a picnic.
While I tried out each of the Specialists, Boris was my guy.
