Two thoughts from watching the trailer:

1. 128 players is going to mean the CPU requirements for this are going to be (I assume) quite high.

2. Again 128 players might bring more of a Planetside 2 vibe to the game. Especially as it's futuristic too.

It looks good. Reminds me a lot of BF3 and BF4. Especially that skyscraper.

128 is only on current-gen consoles, last-gen is limited to 64 so roughly the equivalent CPU to a Zen2 8 core.

Next gen consoles are basically using a Ryzen 3700x (clocked a tad lower than desktop version) - so expect games to take advantage of this. BF2042 features 128 players, larger maps and lots of particle effects, explosions, destruction and weather events.

I expect this game will make old CPU's cry for mercy

I've gone gold. Can't be ****** to care for pre orders anymore. I know all my mates will be playing it and I'm sick of Warzone and I will never install Valorant so I'm just excited to have a new game to play with them.

That and they are basic when it comes to a game impressing them...

It's for these exact reasons I'm going to get it!

DICE usually have good scaling options so you can adjust a bit based on your hardware.

Gold seems to be the good option.

Frostbite engine scales well with more cores and now with 128 players the cpu is a likely good upgrade.
I wait for the 12 core 3DV stacked edition early 2022 to upgrade my 5600x
 
I'll be waiting for some proper unscripted gameplay before I even think about jumping in. It does look like it could be onto a winner though.
 
What do you get with gold over the standard?

On CD keys, standard says "NOTE: This is a pre-order, please read our Pre Order information here before purchasing"
as does ultimate. Gold does not

It also doesnt show the differences between standard, gold and ultimate (that I can see anyway)
 
lol EA's rep and here we have people throwing money at them before even a beta has dropped.

Gold adds season pass.
1 specialist every season.
Then some gadgets ingame.
best value which is still a lot IMO.

So similar to COD with the battlepass.
If you just want to play the game, standard is fine i take it? By the sounds of it there are no weapons to level up / unlock anyway
