This is Diablo 4 at its best. I mean it this time. For real.

Get a fresh look at three other maps that aren't Orbital.
If you've been keeping up with any of the Battlefield 2042 media releases over the past several months, chances are you've seen a boatload of the game's "Orbital" map. It was the map featured in the recent beta and the earlier technical test.

Latest Battlefield 2042 Trailer is so 'Call of Duty' It Hurts
The world is on the brink of destruction as extreme weather ravages the lands and factions fight for resources, but what a time to be alive!
Hey, so... DICE and EA put out a new trailer for Battlefield 2042 today and, uh, it's kind of bad. It's almost as if the marketing teams saw what Activision does with Call of Duty trailers in terms of tone and audience, and went, "yes, this is brilliant."
It's not. It's really not. In fact, I'm going to say that this is...

Five Additional Specialists Revealed for Battlefield 2042
New Specialists bring new abilities to the Battlefield.
Love them or hate them, the Specialists are here to stay in Battlefield 2042. The recent beta for the game only featured four out of the ten Specialists that the game will launch with, which often made it seem like there was a lack of variety between players. Most people definitely gravitated towards the grapple hook after all.
The other five Specialists were revealed today by DICE and they include: Constantin "Angel"...

Stop me if you've heard this one before.

DICE to Take Hard Stance Against Battlefield 2042 Cheaters
Cheaters and toxic players beware.

Looking at the specs that they suggest, there are definitely...
DICE and EA finally lifted the lid on information concerning the upcoming open beta for Battlefield 2042. It has been a long time coming and it's great to finally get some news about this. I know the fanbase has been getting a little, let's just say antsy, with each day that passed by where we did not hear anything.

Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?
For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
