*** The Official Battlefield 2042 thread***

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.

What about PC then?

I wasn't really thinking about consoles.

It must be 128 players on PC right?

Has to be

that's what a meant a by zen2 8 core, so 3700+ but since PC are clocked higher so 3600+, just a guess

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

Can't decide between normal or gold edition

Hav

Can't decide between normal or gold edition

Havnt even looked at the editions yet

 

[Sp00n]

Yep, looked like Battlefield to me, happy days.

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...

Cdkeys have sold out of gold edition on pc, only standard left. I think I'll just wait till nearer time, either way I'll get it day one

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

I got the Gold Edition from here for £67 (code GTG10) https://2game.com/en-gb/battlefieldtm-2042-gold-edition

I do have another code for 20% off not sure it'll only work on my account but if anyone wants to give it a try drop me a email.

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

 

[DiZ88UK]

Has to be gold edition, I dont see the reason to be the base or next level up

 

[Xcept1]

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)

 

[RavenXXX2]

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.

Looks great. I've always hated the pricing model for BF games. Better than Bungies I guess but still...

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
