After the recent, of course, positive news regarding the continued support of the game, one thing is interesting to me. Nothing is mentioned about Year 2 battlepass. So owners of the Ultimate edition and Year 1 battle pass edition purchased separately will need to purchase the Year 2 Pass to access battlepas in the future? I know it's still a distant thing, so far we still have seasons 3 and 4 ahead of us, but I'd just like to see. Thank you for your response!

i missed the year 2 pass. can someone point me to where they said there will be a year 2 pass? they just said they "are in pre production on content that will arrive after season 4". they never said anything about year 2 pass in the video. new content could just be skins or reworked maps.they said the end of season 2 marks the end of year 1. nothing about a year 2 pass

Seriously doubt i'd pay for another trinket pass, full of basic cosmetics and soldier skins, while all the good stuff is locked behind the pay wall ingame store! Also very skeptical about what content will be post season 4, they know this game is on the cliff of abandoment so will say anything imo to cling to the playerbase!

Once you get to a certain number of maps and weapons, does one more really matter?After season 4 we will only have 11 base maps.That's half the amount V ended up with which was also live service.We absolutely need more base maps than 11 to last us until at least the end of 2024.And its only 1/3 of the total maps we had in previous BF games like BF1 and BF4 !Very illustrative of the substantial length EA/DICE have gone to run this as absolutely cheap bare bones as possible. BF1 and BF4 charged you for those extra maps so you cannot compare paid to free.However V added 14 maps for free yet people still complain it wasn't enough.But 4 extra maps for 2042 is nowhere near enough and I hope that is addressed post season 4.I'm hoping Dice are planning another release in the same vein as Vs Pacific TheatreI bought the BF4 Premium, so yes I paid for those extra maps, weapons, gadgets, vehicles etc.Do I think I got value for money? Yes absolutely!Just as I also bought the BF2042 Ultimate, so yes I also paid for that. And I can then absolute compare the two as much as I want. And here, BF2042 is totally under delivering in all aspects! BF2042 is a total meltdown even from before launch day, the $ charge at launch is now questionable at best certainly now considering when no follow-up by EA/DICE to make it good after the fact. And a disgrace for the franchise that its deliberately left in such dire and incomplete state, essentially abandoned. This despite millions of customers/players prepaid for the 4 seasonal packages still to be delivered.That "new content" will come after Season 4, in a Year 2 pass is either a bad practical joke or an expression of to what extend then some believe they can go with scamming customers no matter. Kindly suggest BF2042 Year1 is brought into respectable and more complete state before fantasizing about a year 2 please...

@andzian1920I am glad to hear that there will be continued support after Season 4 ends, any purchase of the Year 2 Pass will very much depend on the quality of the content on offer.

There are no concrete rules on season passes, anything goes.Just like how AC: Valahala did not include the latest major expansion/DLC in its season pass.

New content that will come after Season 4, YEAR 2 PASS

So who is buying a new Battle Pass with 1 new map and Specialist per season?

@Adamonic
The people who will subjectively evaluate it to be worth buying as usual.
I will need some numbers before I can decide.
One would need to do the math about what they get with the BP vs what they do not get.
As the poster bellow me said, the good stuff is generally not part of the battle pass but separate purchases

@UP_Hawxxeye absolutely, and I don't blame people one way or the other. It's their money.

@AdamonicFor me the driving force in playing 2042 is that most of my platoon plays it. Otherwise things might had been very different

@UP_Hawxxeye just think if you had actual Platoon/Clan functionality and legacy Squad Management tools? Those little things can completely change how you interact and play the game.

Little things that would have a major impact and help transform BF2042. 👍
