Had so much fun playing BF4 on Sunday! Teamed up with a random and played gunner on the Attack Helicopter. Even though we didn't manage very high numbers, the experience was so one-of-a-kind! Can't wait to play 2042!

I installed it again. You can add me on Origin and we can play together. My IGN is eddy4823

Apparently they'll use bots to fill up empty slots. 

And that’s fun? 
I have experienced multiplayer on both platforms and the ping difference is quite something. Battlefield V on Xbox will put you in servers with ping around 140ms. PlayStation will hop you onto servers closer (50-75ms)

Yeah crossplay is mandatory. However kb+ mouse against the controller might make it a bit unfair.

Regarding latency, I am not sure what the numbers are on private matches, but when we play TitanFall2 within just the XSX IVG group, there is hardly anything noticeable. Public servers, of course, are another story. They are more difficult to find and ping at around 100-120, at least. Singapore and all are around 30, but they are all deserted.

 

Given that 2042 will have progression even if one is playing only with bots, this problem of finding a good server should "theoretically" only arise if one wants to play in public lobbies. If you have a group of friends to play with, you can just play with each other and still progress.

I don't have high hopes. They should've said something by now.

Nothin is concrete yet, but the devs did tease some form of crossplay, so something is definitely planned.

Assuming its cross platform but not cross generations.

 

They should take a page from Apexs book imo, your squad is all console players then console lobby, if one person on your squad is on PC then PC lobby.

Battlefield Briefing - Answering Your Reveal Questions

 

original?v=v2&px=-1

In Battlefield 2042 you will step into the boots of Specialists, an all-new type of playable soldier for the franchise. Inspired by the traditional Battlefield Classes, Specialists will be equipped with their own unique Specialist Trait and Specialty, and will have fully customizable Loadouts.

 

At launch there will be a total of 10 Specialists. So far, we’ve shown you 4 of them: Boris, Casper, Falck and Mackay. You can expect further details on the remaining 6 later this year.

 

How do customized Loadouts work?

 

Class no longer restricts which weapons you can bring onto the Battlefield thanks to a fully customizable Loadout. As a Specialist, you’ll be able to customize the following:

  • Primary Weapon
  • Equipment (items anyone can use such as a Medical Crate or Supply Crate)
  • Secondary Weapon 
  • Throwable (such as Frag or Incendiary Grenade)

Here is what a customized Loadout could look like:

  • Primary Weapon: M5A3 (Assault Rifle)
  • Equipment: Supply Crate
  • Secondary Weapon: G57 (Sidearm) 

Throwable: Frag Grenade

As with all Specialists, Mackay’s Specialty and Trait are unique to him and cannot be changed as part of his Loadout:

  • Specialty: Grappling Hook
  • Trait: Nimble

Can Squads use any combination of Specialists?

  • In Battlefield 2042, a Squad will consist of a maximum of 4 players. In Conquest and Breakthrough, squads can contain more than one unique Specialist. 

original?v=v2&px=-1

 

  • Multiplayer – AI soldiers are used for server-filling capabilities, making it easier for you to matchmake when you want to play. Players always have priority over AI when playing multiplayer.
  • Co-Op – Allows you to play together with friends, against AI soldiers.
  • Solo – If you wish to perfect your skills for multiplayer, you can even play alone against AI soldiers.

So how will AI Soldiers actually play on the Battlefield?

AI Soldiers are intended to play the game like how you would play it yourself. However they are not designed to be Specialists and cannot use Traits and Specialties. You will see them undergoing certain tasks such as using the vehicle call-in system and engaging with vehicles, or capturing objectives. Whilst they can’t use the Wingsuit, they do have the intelligence to decide between engaging with you via enemy fire, flanking, throwing grenades or even reviving a downed squad mate. 

 

Can you completely opt-out of using AI Soldiers?

In the All-Out Warfare set of experiences of Conquest and Breakthrough, AI Soldiers are used to backfill servers and you cannot opt-out of playing with them. However, there is a cap to how many of them you can encounter in a multiplayer match. In general, you will not experience more AI soldiers than players unless the match is still filling-up, or almost empty. Players will always have matchmaking priority over AI.   

 

As an example: if there are 120 players out of 128 players currently playing in a server, 8 AI Soldiers will join the match to help even out the teams. Should a player leave, another AI Soldier will temporarily replace them until a new player joins the game. We’re providing them as a helpful option to ensure you won’t have trouble matchmaking and can fully enjoy the all-out warfare chaos you can expect from a Battlefield match. 

 

Testing cross-play during the Technical Playtest

  • We’ll test a subset of cross-play functionality during the Technical Playtest. This means during this test, PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation® 5 consoles will be able to test playing together.

Cross-play in Battlefield 2042 beyond the Technical Playtest
We are still building cross-play functionality, and the first opportunity for us to test it with a wider, invite-only group will be within the Technical Playtest. Right now, we’d like to give you an understanding of what we’re looking to achieve as final functionality beyond the Technical Playtest, so here is an overview of what you can expect that to look like:
PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5® consoles (PC and console can opt-out from playing together)

  • Xbox One and PlayStation 4® consoles

Cross-progression and cross-commerce

  • Alongside cross-play we’re also building cross-progression and cross-commerce for Battlefield 2042, which will be shared across all platforms and travel with you wherever you go. For example, your unlocked progress and purchases in your PlayStation® copy of the game will carry over onto the Xbox or PC version, and vice versa*. 

Nice :thumbsup:

Anybody getting this Day 1 on PC/XSX|S/PS5? I'm still deciding based on how many people get it and actively play it. BF1/5 was such a boring experience as I mostly played solo. :/

 

PC, yes.
