  Preview: The Anacrusis Early Access Release

  What to expect from this Early Access release of the latest four-player cooperative shooter.

While I'm sure they want to avoid those sorts of direct comparisons, it is a little difficult to avoid them given how much of the same DNA is shared between the two franchises.

  My plan was to restore a backup from earlier in the week. I decided,...

  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.
