Datamine shows BF2042’s Hazard Zone is an Escape from Tarkov like experience using existing maps
- Thread starter SpottieO

All hail our BF datamining king Temporyal!
Still was kind of expecting some unique large map, that said I wonder if *all* of the All-Out Warfare maps will be used or just Hourglass, Orbital, Breakaway etc rather than Kaleidoscope or Discarded which are the two "smaller" of the 2042 maps.

Interesting. I knew the AAA space wouldn't ignore what EFT was doing after it blew up on Twitch but did not expect Battlefield to be the first implementation of mechanics from it. I am excited to see what comes of this.
I hope BF Portal maps also end up being used into this.
It's a great idea, DICE and co are going all in.

That sounds insanely awesome.
This is becoming quite the amazing package. And it will be a nice change of pace to have a Tarkov/Hunt Showdown style mode rather than the standard Battle Royale. I love it.
It could be huge too since Fortnite, Warzone/Blackout, and Apex gained success because they are more polished and less janky BRs compared to PUBG and H1Z1.

You didn't want to play through mediocre campaign and story that lasts 4 hours and costs the dev team an absurd amount of time to do?
This gamemode is meant to tell story of 2042 and forwards. There wont be going back in time to BF 2 Karkand etc.
This sounds like an amazing mode. Always wanted to get into Tarkov but its brutal nature toward new players has always turned me off.
I mean, so does Warzone, and it got recently invaded by zombies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They can do whatever they want, if they retexture the portal BF2 map to look like 50 years passed, no one will bat an eye, and they woldn't need to design anything new.
Warzone has become total clowncar with permanent clown show going on.
I hope DICE doesn't do that.
Finally someone giving Tarkov a run for it's money. EFT has way too many good ideas to only be in one game. I've been waiting for another team to make a less unforgiving version. This sounds great so far.
For real, we had people here claiming that a 4 hours SP mode was needed for them to buy the game because "a MP only game shouldn't cost $60" lol
I mean, DICE and Activision are the only studios capable of making big budget FPS titles and you can't come up with a quick Tarvok copy and expect the a success out of the gate. Ubisoft is a lost cause.
It's a risk/reward mode. The longer you spend in a zone by yourself or with a squad, pursuing goals/taking down enemies, the higher your rewards are. More stealth/creeping dread/tactical ambush.
This game has such a killer set of modes. The campaign will not be missed.
Yeah… one day :(
If you ever played the division it's basically as if the entire game took place in the dark zone.
If they can execute on this, BF2042 is going to be ridiculous. BFV's gameplay was actually stellar and it seems like they're thinking about all the right stuff around that.
