That's pretty dope

 

[PS9]

Awesome! Was gonna buy it anyway but this makes it so much better. Can't wait for EA Play.

 

[Milennia]

This is the goat battlefield game for me and it's not even out lmao

 

[Neverx]

Looks real good, gonna add a lot of longevity. El Alamein is going to look crazy in the new engine.

 

[Theorry]

" Portal brings back six classic Battlefield maps, available to use in these custom matches. The list includes Caspian Border and Noshahr Canals from Battlefield 3, Battle of the Bulge and El Alamein from Battlefield 1942, and Arica Harbor and Valparaiso from Bad Company 2"

"Better yet, all assets from these maps have been rebuilt from the ground up in the Frostbite engine and reimagined for modern technology. The map layouts themselves remain as close as possible to how fans remember them, but for the older maps from Battlefield 1942, destruction physics have been added."

 

[PS9]

Where is Karkand

 

[Mass Effect]

Wow, this is unexpected, but awesome

 

[Deleted member 17990]

Dope hope they bring siege of shanghai eventually

 

[SpillYerBeans]

I was kind of lukewarm on 2042 but this is sick.

 

[Dest]

This sounds sick as hell. I'm in.

Arica harbor in 2042 and El Alamein with destruction? holy shit

 

[Jarrod38]

Yes on Canals best map in BF3.

 

[SweetNicole]

wow custom games w/ own logic sounds nutty

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

Next gen Caspian Border? Whew, lordy.

 

[Arn]

I hope you can play all of those old maps in a classic way, and not just in these custom matches.

 

[Lakitu]

Why no Battlefield 2 and 2142.... The best maps.

 

[PS9]

WW1 weapons, vehicles and gadgets in 2042 maps gonna be crazy

 

[Gero]

They going all in with this one damn.

 

[AndyD]

This is a perfect appraoch for them to build on over time. Add new maps one by one is a no brainer.

 

[Vommy]

They are going all out with this one. Good for Dice and good for the people who have waited to go back to Battlefield!

 

[BUNTING1243]

Wow, I really thought those rumors were too crazy to be true. That's neat as hell

 

[tapedeck]

This is kind of a big deal, I think I've moved from maybe to Day 1.

 

[horkrux]

pretty cool

 

[SpottieO]

This sounds fucking awesome

 

[Uzupedro]

That's really cool. I wonder if this is the F2P component that the game was rumored to have.

 

[Sargerus]

24/7 Metro 100000 tickets lets goooooooo

 

[OldMuffin]

God I hope this is supported well through its life span…

 

[Nateo]

No one is going to play the main game for long. You get XP anywhere here lmao. Also I assume they are straight porting the weapons so Balance is going to be fuckin hilarious. Also You don't pick BF2142???? But pick BF1942 instead what the hell why?

 

[Scousefury]

So your telling me i can bring back bolt action iron sights only mode from BF1? Pls

 

[AzorAhai]

I would bet some money on this game winning GOTY at the Game Awards.

 

[Schlorgan]

It just needs to be at least as solid at launch as BF1.

If it does that, this is one of the biggest games of the year.

 

[TheRed]

Very interesting. Can't wait to play the old maps again.
Arica Harbor and Valparaiso are gonna be big for me as I loved BC2 so much.
+7 new 2042 maps is pretty good.

 

[Lobster Roll]

This game is going to be fucking phenomenal, isn't it?

 

[captainmal01]

Bad Company 2 in 2021, God is real.

 

[Condwiramurs]

El Alamein and Battle of the Bulge, FUCK YEAAAHH

 

[Theorry]

Personally i think its cool for a while to try. But think many people will stick with regular BF2042 and a balanced experience.
WW2 planes vs BF2042 sounds fun for example. But after two matches getting your ass kicked as a WW2 player i think not many people will stick arround.

 

[BreakingARC]

Arica Harbor?? just please finally take my money EA.

Between this an Mass Effect Remastered they seem to be on a personal goodwill tour for me lol

 

[LycanXIII]

When are they revealing Hazard Zone?

 

[HaL64]

wow they rebuilt all the assets just for this mode?

 

[Theorry]

When are they revealing Hazard Zone?

[Lemrik]

I think servers with strictly BC2 weapons/vehicles will be up, i doubt everything will be randomized by default. You can set your own rules after all.

 

[SapientWolf]

Sounds insanely ambitious. Could be a complete game changer for the franchise if it works well.

 

[garion333]

Nice! Taking one from the Mario Kart playbook. :P

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Where the fuck is Fjell 652 DICE?
Pre-order canceled >:-(

 

[Belvedere]

El Alamein are you kidding?! Amazing.

 

[RoKKeR]

So fucking cool. BC2 RUSH PLEASE

 

[Alienous]

I guess this is a 'Far Cry Arcade' -type mode, without a map builder.

Eh. I expect if this was good it would be entirely seperate, like Battlefield 1943.

Should be good for Counter-Strike and Call of Duty rulesets I guess.

That would help yes. But hopefully new maps get added fast then.
