Unleash the unexpected with Battlefield™ 2042 – Season 1: Zero Hour, launching on June 9th (05:00 PDT, 07:00 CDT, 14:00 CEST, 16:00 GST, 21:00 JST). Reach greater heights with high-tech stealth helicopters on a new mountainous map. Deploy as new Specialist Ewelina Lis and use her Rocket Launcher to clear the skies as you lead your squad to victory with new hi-tech gear. For more info: http://x.ea.com/73749 /Atic

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of vehicle mains suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

@EA_Atic So 1 map, 2 new "guns" (crossbow, lol), 2 vehicles, 1 specialist, just like leaks called.Anything for Portal, or is that getting abandoned as well? HZ abandoned, 128p BT outright removed...in 6 months I'm wondering if the game will just be 64p CQ left as the only supported mode.This is incredibly disappointing after suffering through the past 8 months of watching y'all finish core development on this game you sold us.Absolutely, 100% done with the BF franchise and DICE as a whole after this. Good work chums, you're turning BF fans into BF haters.

Seriously guys, why do you keep insulting your fan base? After 9 months you give us ONE new map? One. Where is the new mind blowing destruction you advertised earlier last year? Where are the cool events on the maps? Why is there still no Server browser, no global chat??Why does 2042 look last Gen? Everything in this game feels like 2 steps back. I just played some BF 1 again and holy * - the difference is really mind bending. From the raw sounds to the complete war chaos. I really wish 2042 would be like that. The content. I know ive said this a billion times but by this time, BF4 DLCs were all released with 4 new maps each. We're talking 16 new maps within a year. Content was King and its not anymore....

This game started off not only in a complete * state but the lightest on content in any battlefield game in around 15 years. So the first content drop, which was delayed by 6 months, and is meant to bring players back, is literally the bare minimum they could put out. They’ve literally just finished getting the game to a playable state, 8 months after launch, player base absolutely tanked. You’d think their first content drop would be enough to draw people back in? This little amount is insulting, to everyone that’s already, stupidly, bought the gold or premium version, or even to think that people will now want to pay for this? Are you losing the plot?

@SkyL4Ncer21 wrote:@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3RFor starters i don't play helis i play jets.Second helis require way more skill in fighting other helis and dodging stingers in the process than just using a broken gadget.You're happy because now you can shot down air vehicles with no effort with a BROKEN GADGET, NOW THAT IS THE TRUE DEFINITION OF SKILLESS.So if you suck to play vehicles or you don't want to, it's not my problem the whole idea is to BALANCE the game.how is a manually guided missile a skilless weapon?

@Psubond Thats it, helicopters are now completely useless.
The second a heli spawns on the map he is gonna be targeted by 10000 portable TV guided missiles from the new specialist.
It's not Zero hour, it's Zero air vehicles

Need to temper my hype but they sure know how to make a nice/fun trailer. Looking forward to testing out the crossbow and remote missile

@EA_Atic To balance the gameplay you're gonna have to nerf that portable TV missile to death.
1 shot kill to helis with no effort is disgusting.
Don't even let me get started on the fact that you have 1 shot and 1 spare missile to reload and try again.

Trailer was nice, always cool to see the land of beavers and maple syrup showcased. TV missiles might become the new meta - would be cool if they can be shot down via standard ammo
