Visually it’s pretty cool right? Damn there’s the tornado I’mma stop and look at it quick.
That’s it. There’s nothing else it provides. I’ve never seen it alter gameplay.
Why did they spend all that time into developing it? They fought with it until release.
why didn’t they just throw it out?
It’s not even in Exposure and that’s the best base game map in the game.
@WedgeTornadoIt's for sure cool looking in game. I agree, it doesn't add to the gameplay though. It's kinda just there and annoying. Try not to get sucked up into for the most part avoiding it. If you do happen to get caught in it, there's no real consistency to getting out of it or being damaged by it. The only person that maybe benefits from it is Sundance.
Weather like fog, heavy rain, sandstorm, snow, etc gives concealment and a chance to move without running cover to cover. That makes sense. The tornado, not so much.

@WedgeTornadoI’ve seen it have an effect a few times, mostly on Breakthough. It’s saved defenders by blowing though at a goofed time near the end, and I’ve seen do the same and benefit the attackers.
Agreed. In games that were unbalanced and the defenders or attackers had a clear advantage, it can certainly help level the field a bit. Particularly on Renewal, if either side has air superiority it blasts through an objective and basically resets the area.
I like it *shrugs*
if this were bf3 or 4 these weather events would dynamically change the design of the map....flooding, downed skyscrapers/structures, crates being tossed around. but 2042? nope. I agree. anticlimactic.
Tornado does diver play. That being said, I think it is useless
Although, my favorite spawn death was spawning inside a tornado
According to former DICE General Manager Oskar Gabrielson, an entire team worked for 3 years building the tornado into BF2042. Personally, I think that time could have been better spent bringing back legacy features like a server browser and persistent lobbies.
The tornado is the only time that I feel anything worthy of using the dual sense controller in this game that is not an explosion.
