  Battlefield 2042 to Utilize New EA Anticheat in Season 6

  A new anti-cheat has entered the battlefield.
  
  Electronic Arts just announced that they are working on implementing their own anti-cheat (or anticheat), into their current and upcoming multiplayer titles. Much like the simply named EA app, EA's new anticheat is called EA anticheat. Yes, that lack of capitalization is correct and slightly frustrating to look at.
  
  The Battlefield 2042 team at DICE says that come the launch of Season 6 in October, the game will switch over...

  Battlefield 2042: Redux is a Month of Returning Content Ahead of Season 6

  Season 6 delayed, so here is some old content you may like instead.
  
  DICE announced today that they have had to push Season 6 for Battlefield 2042 back by a month. That means Season 6 will now be out in October instead of September as initially planned. That also means that there is now a gap between the end of Season 5 and the start of Season 6.
  
  That's where Battlefield 2042: Redux comes into play. This interim season will bring back those limited-time modes from previous...

  Squads in Battlefield 2042 to Improve in Next Update

  Revolutionary new ideas still being added to Battlefield 2042.
  
  When DICE "improved" the squad system in Battlefield 2042, they left a lot to be desired. I cannot even remember what exactly they did to improve it, but those improvements still failed to give much of any control to how your squad functions in the game. You were unable to lock your squad. You also couldn't kick anybody from the squad if, for example, a vacant slot fills with a random after your friend's game...

  Double XP and more for everyone!

  Battlefield 2042 Season 6 Announced

  Surprise!
  
  It seems as though DICE and EA pulled a fast one on all of us. Battlefield 2042 Season 5: New Dawn was supposed to be the fifth and final season for the futuristic multiplayer FPS. I say supposed to be, because they just announced a sixth season earlier today.
  
  The announcement came via the official Battlefield social media channels like Instagram and Twitter.
  
  We know jack squat about what Season 6 will include. DICE said in their announcement that...

  Helicopters about to be a whole lot more annoying.
  
  If you thought taking down helicopters, especially the stealth choppers, were a pain in the ass before just you wait for Update 5.0.0 to drop for Battlefield 2042.

  Battlefield 2042 Season 5 - New Dawn - Trailer and New Content Details

  The fifth and final season is nearly here.

  Season 5: New Dawn will launch on June 7. This season will include a brand new map, new weapons, new gadgets, and various quality of life improvements. Some of those...

  Battlefield 2042 Season 5: New Dawn Teaser and Lore Dump

  Just a teaser for a bigger reveal.
  
  DICE released a little teaser today for Season 5 of Battlefield 2042. This teaser was dropped ahead of a planned larger reveal scheduled for May 26. First off, we learned that Season 5 is being called New Dawn.
  
  The teaser is just that, a teaser of the upcoming gameplay reveal on the 26th at 8AM (PT). It also seems to hold a little more than meets the eye at first glance. For instance, is that morse code I hear? Secondly, what does 1 11...

  Vehicle Reworks Coming in Battlefield 2042 Season 5

  Less explosives, category adjustments, and more.
  
  DICE just detailed the changes that are coming to vehicle loadouts for Battlefield 2042 in Season 5. While the general changes may not seem like a whole lot at a glance, they are rather big in the grand scheme of things. For instance, DICE is pulling explosives from several vehicles to have them be less of a "jack of all trades" sort of thing and to better fit the roles they were designed for. There is also a small shuffle to move the...

For those unacquainted with their hijinks, Battlefield Friends is an animated web series of three friends (Engineer, Medic, and Recon) and a Noob, who go on a series of adventures through the Battlefield franchise. Each episode mostly focused on various references or in-jokes to the multiplayer component for...
