Classic guns like the M4, Ak, Scar all make a return. And they have camo’s as well for those who are in it for the long haul. From optics, to lasers and muzzle devices there’s a fair bit here for customization. And each gun has an assortment of attachments that can be unlocked after killing X number of enemies.

The progression in the game is something to hail as well it feels just like a Battlefield game with a large variety of weapons at your disposal that you unlock as you progress and level up. We’re all just running around shooting each other and trying to get revived by medics so we can play more and don’t have to make the run of shame back from the furthest respawn point. In general, people have fun with it and don’t take it too seriously which is refreshing. And the funniest part is that everyone by default is hot miced on death, so you can sometimes hear people call out to their teammates or say something silly. There’s a general emphasis on squads and playing around them just like BF, and it encourages you to play a little more methodically instead of so recklessly like COD because your teammates can spawn on you for quick reinforcements if you’re pushing an objective. They even have night versions of the maps with full NVG’s which I haven’t played but witnessed and it looks like an incredible experience to have at least once. The maps are very interesting and diverse, with a ton of different types of scenery and landscapes for you to explore which is a boon considering they have that Battlefield complexity with buildings that can be destroyed and a large variety of ways to navigate for potential flanking opportunities.

I don’t know how they managed to make them look so crips and sharp, but each one from the footage I’ve seen look so sick to use. The guns however, look super clean, and the optics are SO amazing in this game.

Your eyes will get used to the super blocky character and hand models. Yes, it looks like a cross between Minecraft and Roblox, but it doesn’t really matter in the long term. Now I KNOW the first thing that popped into your head looking at the game is the graphics. But there is a game in Beta currently that gives me nothing but the best feeling from the BF series, and it’s Battlebit Remastered. I’m not a diehard BF fan, but they are great games and I enjoy them casually from time to time. However, when Battlefield 2042 was initially teased I like most people was excited! It looked better than COD at the time, and was hopefully going to be a good supplement to Tarkov as a game I can relax and just enjoy with some friends messing around in. BF 4 is second but it doesn’t even come close. I genuinely enjoyed the heck out of that game and put the most amount of time into it than any other BF game. I’ve never really gotten super into the Battlefield series, with the exception of Bad Company 2.
