Battlefield 2042 Early Access Begins [Nov 12, 2021, 10:34 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The first skirmishes of Battlefield 2042 are getting underway today, as
Early Access to the new installment in the shooter series has begun for
qualifying customers. This paves the way for the full official launch of the
game one week from today. So who gets in as of today? "Players who purchased the
game’s Gold or Ultimate Edition, as well as EA Play Pro subscribers will be able
to play starting today, and the Play First Trial for EA Play, Xbox Game Pass and
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will grant subscribers access for up to 10 hours."
Here's an Official
Gameplay Trailer from June, and here's a quick recruiting
pitch:
Battlefield 2042 pushes the capabilities of new hardware as the true next generation of Battlefield, featuring up to 128 player matches on the latest consoles and PCs** through the use of the latest Frostbite game engine. The game features a compelling multiplayer offering that caters to all types of players through three distinct experiences - All-Out Warfare, Hazard Zone and Battlefield Portal - delivering the next generation of multiplayer warfare.
I only had time for the forced bot match when you first launch the game before work. It's hard to judge from that, but frame rate is disappointing. It's not choppy or anything per se, but on a 5950x with a 3080 Ti I'm getting drops to less than 100fps and that's with DLSS ON and default settings.
I pwnz j00!
