@carsono311I think maybe I would have gone for gold if someone pointed out the difference. Tend to worry that I've not understood the battlepass/DLC deal . So worth being here I guess to clarify for some if they are not fussed about the additional content
@lzilchetl Yeah, I suspect many people, myself included, are really not sure what to expect with the “Year 1 Pass”. Like what are the “Battle Passes”? Are they worth the money? I think I can guess what they are, but you get my point…
I am fortunate to have the disposable income to spend on the Ultimate Edition, even if it ends up being a poor value, but it would be nice if the differences in editions were better explained / delineated.

- @carsono311 Agree exactly. I think I sort of assumed that the ultimate would have either an additional pass or some levelling up, or other content over the year, but didn't look too closely. Not sure I would have paid for cosmetics only. I've always gone for the top package. The battle pass thing... Hope you don't get a level reset each time like Warzone... Find that annoying.
- @lzilchetl quite sure the "midnight pack" could be exclusive to the Ultimate, like items in past games
not everyone would think it's worth the upgrade, but some do

not everyone would think it's worth the upgrade, but some do@m1k3ol I'm not complaining. My choice I know, and I'll stick by it. I know there was no premium edition for BFV but the pattern before was the top level package gave you access to content like maps, weapons or subscriptions to DLCs. The only description we had for the bundle with the 2042 Ultimate was this...
...if you are a newcomer to BF or someone who isn't paying attention (like me) its not clear if you are getting a weapon and a gadget (alongside the character skin) or cosmetics. If you have not been following the narrative you wont necessarily know that ranger is already accessible. Certainly not clear at the point of sale, unless you tell me I have missed something - which I usually do!
I suspect that the gold/ultimate edition "battle passes" will likely be an 'instant pass' to that season's chain of unlocks and cosmetic rewards ie
It would make sense that the "battle pass" is used instead of either grinding the requisite XP (hence everything is "Free" as EA keep alluding to) or spending (in this specific example) 3750 Boins (that could both be earned "Free" or topped-up as a dlc pack purchase.)
So all gold/ultimate owners will get those BF2042 perks soonest I expect, if not immediately. I feel that I played BFV a lot, yet often I was unable to spend enough time in-game that season to unlock the entire chaper's rewards... How exactly the year's "4x new Specialists" will unlock for each BF2042 edition is unclear to me.
Last time, the BFV 'Special Assignments' exclusive to 'deluxe' owners transpired to only be an additional means for earning a meagre few extra XP and i'm glad it's been dropped for BF2042 as it was a total disappointment and wasn't worth it... although it sounded great during the pre-release hype-train! In hindsight, I would have chosen the standard BFV edition and skipped that along with the "bonus skin bundles" of 5x paratrooper outfits and early play. Let's see...

Sorry but you are wrong about Battle Pass. 🙂
There will be Paid and Free section of Battle Pass. If you buy Battle Pass, you will get more items from it.
If you don't buy Battle Pass, you will get only certain number of items that will be Free to every player for earning XP's that specific Season. 🙂
