  Battlefield 2042 Scoreboard Arrives March 8 with Update 3.3

  DICE has done the unthinkable and added a scoreboard to Battlefield.
  
  DICE just detailed the changes and content coming in Update 3.3 for Battlefield 2042. This update, set to drop on March 8, includes the long-awaited scoreboard. Yep, a scoreboard is a highlight of a patch releasing some four months after the game's initial release. What a time to be alive.
  
  Besides the scoreboard, this update also includes more bug fixes, some changes related to control and key bindings,...

  Battlefield 2042 Team Begins 'Core Feedback' System for Maps

  A new blogpost suggests DICE has some doubts about their 128-player count.
  
  Battlefield 2042 hasn't had what anybody would consider to be a "good" launch. Here we are, less than 4 months since release with a game that can't even get as many Steam players as Battlefield 4, a game that came out over eight years ago now. In terms of player count, Battlefield 2042's 24-hour peak Steam player count (2,090) sits behind Battlefield 4 (2,195), Battlefield 1 (7,498), and Battlefield...

  Battlefield 2042 Scoreboard Update is Delayed Until Next Week

  At least it's only a week this time?
  
  In February, DICE announced that the planned February update for Battlefield 2042 would be pushed until March. This was the update that was set to include things like a scoreboard. Well, guess what? Yep, that update has been delayed again.
  
  DICE just announced that they are pushing the update live next week, which is a week later than they previously said. This shouldn't be too surprising to anybody who has followed the recent news...

  EA Management Reportedly Blame COVID and Halo Infinite for Battlefield 2042 Issues

  Essentially, it's everyone else's fault but their own.
  
  A new report from Tom Henderson (writing for Xfire) claims that EA management held an internal meeting recently to talk about the problems with Battlefield 2042. At the meeting, EA says that they have "failed to meet the expectations of our players." They then went on to blame factors such as Halo Infinite's launch and COVID for the woes.
  
  At this company-wide meeting, EA management spent over 20 minutes trying...

  I wasn't going to write about this, but here we are.
  
  As you may have already heard, there is an online petition making the rounds that Battlefield 2042 fans are signing in earnest. The petition, found at Change.org, claims that those that purchased Battlefield 2042 should be issued refunds due to "false advertising" along with "millions of dollars in damages" and hurt feelings.
  
  No, seriously, they actually included the reason of "upset thousands...

  DICE Has Now Delayed the Battlefield 2042 Scoreboard

  I give up.
  
  DICE announced today that the planned February update for Battlefield 2042 has now been delayed until sometime in March. This update was set to include things like a scoreboard, voice communication, and a player profile. This update was first announced in mid-January. In fact, DICE just highlighted this update two days ago at the same time that they announced the first content wouldn't be arriving until Summer.

  Battlefield 2042 Season One Delayed Until Summer

  The developers need extra time to try to fix the literal everything that is wrong with the game first.
  
  Where do I even start with this one. Alright, first off, it was announced today that Season One for Battlefield 2042 has been delayed until at least Summer 2022. That means there will not be any new maps, weapons, gadgets, Specialists, or whatever until at least late June. While there wasn't really any official date previously announced, the running theory is that Season One would...

  DICE Disables Official XP Farm in Battlefield 2042

  How it was ever approved in the first place is beyond me.
  
  Alongside yesterday's update for Battlefield 2042 came the usual new rotation of official Battlefield Portal experiences. One of those officially created and promoted modes was called Zombie Survival. In this mode, you were facing off against hordes of A.I. controlled "zombies" that were equipped only with knives. Your goal was to survive for as long as possible.
  
  There was just one problem: This mode made...

  EA Considering Free-to-Play Option for Battlefield 2042

  EA is apparently disappointed with how poor Battlefield 2042 is performing.
  
  According to leaker Tom Henderson, EA is pretty disappointed with how Battlefield 2042 is performing. Henderson says that the publisher is now "looking at all the options" when it comes to the game. This includes the possibility that the game will go the route of a free-to-play title, at least in some capacity.
  
  Henderson failed to elaborate on these remarks and says he'll have "more...

  The technology just isn't there yet.
  
  As part of their information dump today, DICE provided a few details about what they're working on for Update 3.3 for Battlefield 2042. This update is scheduled to be released in late February. We already took a look at the first release of a scoreboard that they're adding with Update 3.3, but what else can we expect to see?

  DICE is Adding a Scoreboard to Battlefield 2042

  The basic "legacy" idea that is a "scoreboard" is finally being added to Battlefield 2042.
  
  DICE has finally broken their silence when it comes to just WTF is going on with Battlefield 2042. While there are a few things to talk about, this one is all about the fact that the development team is finally adding in a scoreboard, though it probably isn't quite what everyone wanted.
  
  The first iteration of a scoreboard will be added as part of a future Update...

  Battlefield 2042 Subreddit May Close Due to Toxic Fanbase

  Gamers and toxicity, name a more iconic duo.
  
  Battlefield 2042 is a broken mess of a game. We all know this. Nothing has changed since our review for Battlefield 2042 went up in December. This is largely due to the fact that the development teams at DICE went on holiday break for a couple of weeks, like most of us probably did for Christmas and New Years.
  
  After all, the developers did work for a long time on Battlefield 2042 regardless of the current state of the game or...

  DICE Removes Battlefield 2042 Rush Mode from Portal

  This comes as the player count begins to hit all-time lows.
  
  Prior to going on their holiday break, DICE added in a Battlefield 2042 Rush mode to Battlefield Portal. It proved to be a fairly popular mode, at least as far as Portal modes are concerned. It was the much enjoyed Rush mode but played out across the Battlefield 2042 maps, something that just isn't possible in the main game. DICE kept it up longer than most other modes and fans seemed to be pleased.
  
  Unfortunately,...

  This leak comes from well-known data miner temporyal.
  
  The bad news that is the literal everything surrounding Battlefield 2042 will continue to get that much worse if the latest leak is to be believed. To say that the launch of the anticipated latest release in the Battlefield franchise was a bit lacking would be an understatement. Unfortunately, it looks like the game will have to limp along until at least March 2022.
