Battlefield 2042 Editions

@Doo-Doo-DrawsYou will not miss on maps when buying the base game.

We don't know if weapons are behind paid battle-passes at this point. In BFV all players got access to all guns and maps - the same goes for Apex legends which is another EA-title with the battle-pass-system.

"Year 1 Pass, and what are 4 Battle Passes", seems like a way to pay up front for battle-passes, almost like paying for premium in the old DLC-system.

For me it seems fine. If you think you will buy the battle-passes anyway, then you could as well buy the gold-edition (or ultimate edition if you so wish). If you are not sure about battle-passes and don't want early access, then just buy the standard edition.

Thanks for the info. I truly appreciate it.

@HawkeyeAM47 I hope everyone will be on the same level playing field with access to all weapons, gadgets and maps, regardless of what edition we purchase. I'm cool with them offering cosmetic upgrades and such. I like to customize my soldier and look of my weapons as well. We shall see. 

Agreed

I doubt they'd lock weapons behind a paywall. The outcry from the community wouldn't be worth it in my mind. Hopefully that's the case anyway.

what I have heard from game changers, on Twitter and Youtube.

the Year 1 Pass is, you get 4 new specialist.

that almost work the same way. they do in call of duty and rainbow six siege.

for example one specialist, can better use that weapon then the other can.

and they got different abilities, so they are not 100% the same.

but how or what we can customize them. I do not know.

the Battle Pass, is the same thing you see in many other games.

you level it up maybe from 1 - 100.

and for each level you get cosmetics stuff.

not something that makes you better in the game itself.

and only 15 - 20 % it free for all players.

so the Battle Pass, is just so you can get all the stuff in there.

before it's too late. and the next one starts again.

like a season thing.

We have only the roadmap for year one, but battle passes are definitely coming to Battlefield 2042, as EA and other game producers have utilized in recent years to support an evolving game platform and related commercial payment model.  DICE has confirmed that Battlefield 2042 will have its own version of a battle pass system, so not directly lifted/shifted from one of their other game franchises, but it will feature the free and paid tracks.  As we have started to see across this industry then the Battlefield 2042 battle pass model will allow non-owners of the pass to access all meaningful gameplay content. The model also insures that all future maps and modes will remain free for all players!

DICE appears much more organized and planned this time, and have already substantial details on the game’s post-launch support.  So we know that year one will unfold over four 'seasons'.

Each of these seasons will add a new chapter to the multiplayer’s evolving story, and we will see a new BF2042 Specialist added in each season as we proceed.

We will also see new locations being added in each year of the game's live service.  We only heard details about the Specialists for this, and not on the plans for the next maps/modes to be added later. So we should expect a new battle pass is required for every new season that we want to join/access.  It will merely contain a load of cosmetic content that you can use in the game.

We do not know for certain if the cosmetics for your customization options are all unilateral, aka applicable for all the characters/specialists in the game.  But expect that we soon will know more about this, as in July we will get demoed the in-game features, including soldier weapon loadout options, camos etc.

We not going to talk about how specialists are going to be behind a paywall for a paid game and they have special tools/equipment?
