For me personally it took me a while to get back into BF2042. I hadn’t played any Battlefield game in 3 years and only started playing again since the BF6 beta. The first week or so it was a pain, but slowly I got back into it. Once you unlock more guns and attachments, get familiar with the maps, etc. it’s not that bad to be honest. You just need to get a feel for the game again.
If you’re playing for the season pass rewards, then just focus on the challenges. One thing that’s also really helpful is to just grind the Redacted map on breakthrough with AI. There’s tons of servers with that experience, just find one with a low player count and shoot as many as you can, play as support and do revives and re-supply’s, when you get the support ribbons filled up, then switch to recon to do spots, basically try to maximize the amount of ribbons without focusing too much on capturing objectives and killing.
It’s a bit grindy, but it works. I play about an hour or two a day and I’m at season pass tier 52 now. And I’m actually enjoying myself.
