It actually feels better in 2042 and is more grounded compared to just running around and hitting thin air with your defibs to revive as many people as possible. Its just another change that makes the game overly fast paced and meatgrind-y compared to previous BF games.

Is this game really costing 400 million or is that bollocks

It probably includes the upcoming Battle Royal game that releases next year. As well as marketing too. 400mil seems very realistic. Every Call of Duty apparently costs in the 500mil range. Which doesnt make a ton of sense to me. So many assets they reuse

Javelin and mortar is back! And look at those skins!
Hopefully they put mortor on the recon class.
Never ending mortors from the support class would get old quick.

Did the 2042 challenges for the week... except the one for incendiary nade damage as it's a level 42 unlock, and what kind of a psychopath has gotten to level 42 in that game?

I don't know if it's been posted already but if you don't have a lot of time and want to get the skins for BF6 check this -
(I completed 90% in two games, just need the level 42 grenades now) Edit : forgot to add sometimes it says server error but just keep mashing the start.

For cod that sells a minimum of what 12 million copies that's absolutely fine.
Battlefield doesn't. If this thing costs 400million and I've barely seen any marketing it will be lucky if it breaks even.

Lol, the hype is crazy for Battlefield. It will e easily recoup. On Steam top selling charts Battlefield is number 9 vs BO7 at 85. BO7 Just went live with Pre-orders too

Assuming that any maps in BF6 will be as large as the ones in 2042... even after the leaks, I'm not convinced.
I wish they would do one more beta weekend with a large map so we can actually get a good idea of what large maps will be like in 6. I don't understand why they're playing it so close to the chest when large maps are Battlefield's bread and butter.

I mean they just released a big map for 2042 and it plays really well so im not too worried

It plays well because 2042 is a 128 player game and the maps are designed with that player count in mind.
BF6 is a 64 player game so it stands to reason that they probably won't be as large as the maps designed for 128 players, especially if we take into account their idea of a 32 player Conquest map in Brooklyn.
It's nice to have faith but this is EA we're talking about here.

This is a 64 player map. Dont think it has a 128 player option at all. Firestorm, mirak valley and the other egypt map looks big enough to feel like old big BF maps and hopefully post launch we'll get more big maps since they saw the feedback

They better work on the BF6 version of the map already lol. I miss the drag and revive, but there are a few things thats better in 2042. First off the positional and footsteps audio are way better than the BF6 beta was, also i like how spotting works in 2042, they really need to tone down the autospot nonsense in 6 and the vehicle handling is also better in 2042, especially the jeeps
I hope the radio music is coming back in 6, i saw an option in the menu, but it wasnt in the beta. I love blasting music and drive like a maniac on the map

Tinfoil hat theory:
EA found a fundamental criticism of Battlefield (from non BF players) was "I don't like getting shot from 200m away from out of nowhere."
EA introduces BF6 to everybody by giving them small, easy to understand maps where most players know where the frontline is.
This leads to players going "I don't know why, but I had more fun with BF6 than expected."

I heard that some of the dots later in the battle pass are like 30,000 xp.
They've clearly designed it to encourage you to come back every week to do the challenges. I'd recommend grinding now though because you want to save those challenge points for when it starts getting tedious. I'm level 24 and must be almost in the clear.
Edit: I just did the math. If you want to avoid grinding an insane amount in the later weeks then you want to be level 32.5 on the battle pass by the start of week 3. Then you can stop grinding and just come back each week to do the challenges.

42 is nothing. Are you calling people psychopaths for enjoying a game?
That's fucking weird, man.

After looking at some more of the recommendations on the "10IQGAMING" videos, and more of the StreamersCheating subreddit (after running across that Swagg clip).. just wow. I had no idea such a 'hackusation community' even existed. Like this JoeWo thread. Pure insanity.
That contrast is... partly where the humor comes from...?
Apparently aside from the one challenge on the right side of the screen for 10 points, the other ones will persist into later weeks. So based on the way you describe the system, with later dots costing more raw XP, wouldn't you want to save as many of the challenges as possible and knock them out at the very end once you're in striking distance?

I've seen people make the point that "skill based matchmaking" has absolutely ruined the perspective of shit players. They don't play against good players any more and really have no idea just how bad they are in comparison.

Great video! I am honestly mixed about this.
On one hand, I do agree the maps..with the color grading removed, look great. I also like there being a 'style'. I am in the same boat for BF3. Yea several maps look so different without BF3 color grade..but i also feel that also made the game and gave it its 'feel'. I could also have that feeling cause the BF3 grading is what it was when i played it, and I dont like change.
I do agree that BFV is by far, the best looking/feeling of any BF game. They honestly nailed it.

No because 60 of the points are only available for the bonus challenges that expire each week. The best strategy is to get it done now whilst the points cost less xp.

There are AFK XP grind servers in BF2042 portal. You're in a conquest map and get teleported to different flags which you then automatically capture. It nets you around 20 points for the battlepass after every match. Perfect if you hate the game but still want some skins for BF6.

The bonus mission is the 20 revives (2x squad revive progression.) Implication being that all the other challenges for the week don't expire. Though I suppose I'll know once/if I get to level 42 and can try to progress the incendiary nade challenge.
Looks like Event Pass points earned from XP just escalate by another 500XP each time you earn one.
Ideal progression would be, assuming the normal weekly challenges don't expire, would to be to play each week just enough to complete the weekly bonus. Then do all the remaining non-expiring challenges the very last week as I'm sure many will complete synergistically.
Though you could/should probably get the bonus for first match of the day or first win of the day or whatever it is. I don't have a great feel for the regular XP gains in this game having not played it much and it being a 2XP weekend.

Unless there are extra points available in the later weeks, I'd say it's best to just rip the band aid off now and earn with xp whilst its cheap. Each tier once you get into the 50s is going to be around 3 million xp otherwise.

I don't think that's how it works:
That fills up to 7k, I get a point for the pass. Next one costs 7,500. But from the UI it appears that these points are independent of your current level or any points from the challenges. How does it get to 3 million at level 50?

You would need 3 milliion xp approx between level 50 and 60 without any bonus weekly points. You need much less xp to get between levels 1 and 10.
So if you do all the weekly challenges first then you're screwed. You need 600 to complete the battle pass and only 385 come from the challenges.

The 215 points you need from XP gains in the "did every mission" scenario will cost the same XP whether you do them before or after the missions. They have their own progression meter. The XP cost seems to be based on how many points you've gotten from XP, not how many total points towards the pass that you have gotten. I guess once I have fresh weekly challenges I can try to prove it, but every indication from the UI implies that is the case.

It doesn't state this anywhere on the battle pass, so I'm assuming it is worst case scenario.
Regardless, 70 of the bonus tokens are time limited. If you wait until the final week you will miss out on all but 10 of them.

The game is nowhere near as bad as some are making it out to be. It's not as satisfying as 6 by any stretch, but I didn't pay for it ( I think it was a PS Plus game at some point or something... either way). It's taken a bit of time to get used to it but i've been having fun.

BF fans don't quit after a few weeks.
BF homework is one of the worst things for the franchise.
Turns everyone into checklist zombies.
They are less interested in using tactics/strategy to combat threats before their eyes.
And just mindlessly go down thechecklist rather irregardless of the situation on the battlefield.
And then you get everyone wanting to be on a map that lets complete their home assignments fastest. And then they leave until the teacher assigns new homework.

Do they quit after a few months? Battlefield has always felt front loaded to me. Big launch, with big player numbers, and then after 3 - 6 months only the BF die hards are left playing the game.
Most games are front loaded.
And gotta do some hair splitting to figure out the difference between BF fans and BF diehards.

True.
I was just curious to hear from BF fans what would make them play the game for a year + over the typical 3 - 6 months. You know EA is thinking about this stuff.

I played 2042 for almost 300 hrs.
It is one of my most played games because it hit during the pandemic so I had more time to invest in games.
In general BF games get better as time passes so to me is worth it to see the progression but tbh I still had fun during the initial release. It's just the kind of emergent gameplay I don't seem to be able to find elsewhere. I play it with my brother and from time to time with a friend so that helps too.
We dropped it last year and focused on Helldivers and later on on Rivals.
