Battlefield 2042 is at its lowest price ever for the next few days. In the meantime, you can play for free.
That new class system is a big deal, too. Restricting gadget access to specific roles means squads once again have to work in tandem to get things done—engineers can no longer SOFLAM helicopters with one hand and bazooka them with the other, lone wolf assaults can't indefinitely heal themselves with medical crates, and recons are now your best bet for spotting enemy players.
It's still far from a perfect game. It still takes too many clicks to arrange your attachments for quick swapping, spawns can be wonky, helicopters can feel overly oppressive—stuff that's slightly annoying but would probably bother me more if it were a more serious shooter. While DICE has spent much of the last year and change making 2042 more like the older games, it's still definitely it's own thing. If you're a Battlefield purist, you probably still won't like 2042's emphasis on specialists: those are still intact, with bespoke personal gadgets and passive perks. It's now a slurry of new and old ideas in one live-service-shaped scramble. All the more reason to check in on Battlefield 2042 yourself while it's free.
