Battlefield 2042 is all set to release worldwide next month after a month-long delay, and fans are extremely excited about the game. However. the poor open beta lowered the expectations people had for the full game. The open beta made it apparent that a range of amazing features from previous Battlefield games are missing in this upcoming game. On Reddit, a four-minute-long video has gone viral in just a few hours that highlights all the features that have been taken out. This includes rolling, throwing grenades, and crouch sprinting. BUNCH OF MISSING FEATURES Above all, according to some players, the viral video is not even complete. There are a variety of other features missing from Battlefield 2042, such as underwater diving, commander mode, ammo pouches, full display of scoreboard, weapon mounting, and more. For the most part, this is quite bad for EA/DICE and the upcoming brand new Battlefield game. WATCH THIS STORY: Best RPG Games on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in 2021 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/best-rpg-games-on-playstation-xbox-and-pc-in-2021-ps5-demon-souls-genshin-impact-news-esports/] [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Battlefield-2042-6.jpg] Of course, some of the key features, if not all, could be added back to the game before the big release, but unfortunately, it is very unlikely. Unless the game is going to be delayed again for months, it can be taken that the game is currently in its final stage. Neither Electronic Arts nor DICE has acknowledged the video yet. Nothing has been officially announced so far. PLAYERS ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE OPEN BETA VERSION OF BATTLEFIELD 2042 According to open beta players, Battlefield 2042 is quite buggy. There are also plenty of design complaints, visual issues, and there’s of course one returning bug from Battlefield 5. Former Battlefield Esports competitor, Xfactor [https://twitter.com/rivaLxfactor] said that there are player-position issues when someone tries to quickly change/turn the field of view. EA said that it is currently working on fixing all the bugs and that Battlefield 2042 is all prepped for the release. Hopefully, Battlefield 2042 is actually all prepped up, and it is free from all those annoying bugs and glitches. Have you played the open beta version of Battlefield 2042?

<h2>Battlefield 2042: Gameplay</h2>
Despite not featuring a single-player campaign, Battlefield 2042 will provide and progress its narrative through multiplayer gameplay. The game is set in the near future where the world is on the brink of all-out war in the aftermath of prolonged periods of extreme climate change events and resource conflicts.

Several governments around the world have collapsed, shifting the balance of authority. This led to the subsequent rise of a band of outcast combat veterans known as 'No-Pats'. They have formed independent armed factions, known as Task Forces, consisting of military Specialists.

Meanwhile, the devastation and global tensions caused by climate change rise to a peak in the year 2040 when a space debris storm generates a Kessler Effect, causing 70% of satellites in Earth's orbit to come crashing on the ground.

The resulting global blackout plummets the world into chaos, aggravating the enmity between the United States and the Russian Federation. By the year 2042, a massive war seems certain to break out and it's down to the No-Pats to pick sides to defend themselves and survive.
<h3>Specialists in BF 2042</h3>
In Battlefield 2042, players will choose their role on the battlefield using the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-jackfrags-explains-battlefield-2042-gameplay-details-previewed-behind-the-scenes/">new Specialist system</a>.

Specialists fall under the four established Battlefield classes of Assault, Engineer, Medic, and Recon. Each of the characters comes with a unique Speciality gadget and a passive Trait. Although, players can fully customize the rest of their loadout.

A total of 10 Specialist characters will become available at launch. Thus far, the developer has introduced us to four. Here are the Specialists in Battlefield 2042 we know of along with their gadgets and skills.
<ul>
 	<li>Webster Mackay (Speciality: Grappling Hook, Trait: Nimble)</li>
 	<li>Maria Falke (Speciality: Syrette Pistol, Trait: Combat Surgeon)</li>
 	<li>Pyotr "Boris" Guskovsky (Speciality: SG-36 Sentry System, Trait: Sentry Operator)</li>
 	<li>Wikus "Casper" Van Daele (Speciality: OV-P Recon Drone, Trait: Movement Sensor)</li>
</ul>
With the game set in the near future, the arsenal offered features an assortment of cutting-edge weapons, vehicles, fighter jets, helicopters, tanks, among other futuristic equipment. BF 2042 will also implement a new Plus system, which will facilitate the configuration and customization of guns on the go.
<h2>Battlefield 2042 Trailer</h2>
On June 13, 2021, DICE gave fans a glimpse at some of the latest upgrades in the Battlefield franchise. This includes a host of new vehicles, weapons and even a peek at the changing weather conditions amid battle.

The coolest moments in the trailer definitely have to be the high-octane inter-vehicular combat and the use of a new grappling gun.
<h2>Game modes in Battlefield 2042</h2>
BF 2042 will primarily feature 3 main gameplay modes. These include All-Out Warfare, Hazard Zone, and Battlefield Portal.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-677506" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Battlefield-2042-Tornado-in-Urban-Korea-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="960" />

All-Out Warfare comprises two iconic Battlefield multiplayer modes, Breakthrough and Conquest. The updated hardware on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC will allow players to experience a 128-player warzone while those on last-gen consoles will have to settle for a 64 player experience.

Hazard zone is a new, high-stakes, squad-based game mode. It is a new co-op multiplayer mode in which DICE promises a "<em>tense experience that combines edge-of-your-seat gameplay with the best of the Battlefield sandbox</em>".

Battlefield Portal essentially gives players a certain amount of control over what they want to play. It is a portal from which you can choose from a variety of battlefield game modes both past and present to create a customized experience. EA described the mode as a "<em>love letter to core fans</em>" and a "<em>new way to play Battlefield</em>".

Fans can expect to learn more details and a showcase of these modes at the upcoming EA Play Live on July 22.
<h2>Battlefield 2042 maps</h2>
The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-these-are-the-battlefield-2042-maps-available-at-launch/">maps in Battlefield 2042</a> are some of the biggest seen in the series' history and will allow for intense warfare at an unprecedented scale. The game also incorporates dynamic environments and level destruction.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-677504" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/bf-2042-full-res-map-vista-breakaway-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

This means players will have to quickly adapt to extreme weather conditions like tornadoes and sandstorms and other impactful changes to the level in the heat of battle.

The locales in BF 2042 are set in real-world locations around the globe, and each one is extensively and intricately designed with distinction.

The game will launch with seven primary maps including Kaleidoscope, Manifest, Orbital, Discarded, Renewal, Hourglass, and Breakaway.
<h2>Battlefield 2042 Crossplay</h2>
So far, EA has made it clear that they want to introduce cross-play features into the upcoming Battlefield title. However, it will be interesting to see if they can deliver on these plans.

In their blog post answering fan questions, DICE also mentioned that they are working on introducing a cross-progression feature. This way players will be able to pick up from where they last left off without missing a beat.
