Find out what we’ve been working on. We’ve got a new #Battlefield 2042 Development Update coming! Tune in on Monday, August 22! https://youtu.be/bXwQknbg64 Get a sneak peak of changes and new content coming to Battlefield 2042 from the development team, including our vision to reintroduce classes to 2042, map reworks, weapon additions to in All-Out Warfare, and more. /Atic

This is all good, positive change, and thanks for letting us know, BUT, what about the game crushing issues? ADS, no real map rotation, net code, weapon balance, vehicle balance, specialist balance, you know, the things that make the game frustrating to a lot of people? Are we addressing those issues with Season 2?

@EA_Atic Sigh. It's just not enough.

@EA_Atic I like what they did with Orbital. From what I can see. The tunnel part looks great but will that be used in BT? Renewal looks better but I wish they done better with the open areas of the desert. But hey I’ll take it. Wish hourglass was done before both of these tho but it is what it is. From what I seen looks good. Parts of the new map looked fun. And she said it’s more infantry favored so I really like that.

@andzian1920 was just about to type this myself, no news on Server Browsers..............

Did anyone noticed the last shot( the ship?) of the video, when she said "see you on the battlefield.

Did I just miss it or was there nothing revealed about the new content for Portal that we are all waiting for.
It's really about time that new (well, old) converted maps make their way into Portal (and also into the AoW game mode as you did with Valparaiso & Co.)

Not sure why my post got lost, but I guess it was for some innocent reason. 😉

What I (and most likely all others here) would like to know is why there was no mention of new content for the Portal mode. New weapons and vehicles would be fine, but most anticipated is the addition of new maps for Portal I guess. We still only have those 6 from launch and this would really, really needs some new additions. And to kill 2 birds with one stone you should of course also add those to AoW to make up for the addition of just one new map per season as it seems to be planned by now.

Props on the changes to the two maps (Renewal and Orbital).
Liking the new point on the mountain (Orbital) which was previously just a running zone.
The sooner they can be brought into play the better.
Yep...noticed the final wide shot....that appears to be the new season 2 map.
Looks nice and tight with a good infantry CQC area on the ship in the middle.
I does look like the ship will have wide and clear fields of view over the other points though....might be a good idea to add some elevated cover between the ship and the surrounding points (buildings, other smaller ships maybe...).
Good to see changes coming to the specialists.
Restrictions on secondary gadgets for each of the classes would go a long way towards bringing it back towards a "Battlefield" game (just like it currently is with Liz and the AA and M5 rockets).
It's a nice video, hoping it translates into good gameplay improvements.

Let's hope that the mouse input will be FINALLY working. No word about that one, but let's hope we will finally be able to aim as we could (and can) in all older titles (and other games).

Agreed....hopefully with all teams "on deck" for BF2042 there are a number of different development avenues being pursued.
Have to say the priority right now should still be more content.
Alongside that I would like to think there is a technical (rather than design) team who is working on tweaking the mouse input.
I'd also like to hope there is another team working on UI improvements such as squad management and improvements to in-game communication forms other than VOIP.
For example....a radial menu for the "ping" option to allow identification of infantry, tanks, move markers etc. would be nice.
