Our community is very excited for this title, and we are always very happy to see these chats take place.
The gameplay, subsequent changes, and included elements will always unfold and be tested, debated, tested, and grow with that process. It is obviously important and we are happy to be a part of those discussions (and we will). What we are most interested in is the Community Tools aspect for Battlefield 2042. You build games for us to play together as communities - we need you to tell us specifically how that will be possible.
Will there be persistent, nameable, admin-able homes for our communities to manage as consistent homes for gamers to play on? Will these be purchasable from EA as with Battlefield 1? Will we maintain the same platoon system or institute new mechanisms for cohorts to group together under common banners? To what extent will micro-communities matter going forward in the franchise, knowing that since Battlefield 4, through Battlefield V, the community tool sets have consistent waned to its least impactful suite to date.
We are Battlefielders, and we want to play this game with our communities. Please help us understand what that looks like in the coming title.

- 4 years ago@Deity I really hope so! This is such an important part of the gaming experience for my friends and I. It was sorely missing from BFv.
- 4 years ago@Deity I echo Deity's questions here @Straatford87.
EA continues to boast Battlefield community being this amazing thing, but without these tools it will continue to stagnate and people will continue to jump off to other gaming experiences. The "sandbox" experience, with choice to play the game the way that it suits you has been mentioned already. I think it's vitally important to remember the choice we should be able to have in not just gameplay itself, but how we choose to choose to interact and spend time in the game.
