Yes I watched the first bit where he played it straight and lamented the death of battlefield due to specialists and the lack of team play and all the other bullshit that people keep whining about.

Good! Don't pre order video games! There will be a boatload of streams and reactions starting on the 12th then another big patch on the 19th. If it looks like you'll have fun then buy it once you have seen the game in action.

EA Play and Game Pass subscribers who are not looking to shell out the money for a pre-order of Battlefield 2042 will get a chance to try out the game, thanks to an early access trial.

Subscribers to those two services will get to play a ten-hour, early access trial of Battlefield 2042 starting on Nov. 12, Electronic Arts and developer DICE said on Wednesday. Subscribers will get access to both the Open Beta and the 10-hour trial.

EA Play Pro subscribers, as well as anyone has has pre-ordered the Gold or Ultimate editions of Battlefield 2042, will get early access to the full game on Nov. 12.

Going to be playing this, mostly just to have some drop in/drop out multiplayer game instead of all the matchmaking stuff.

It's wild to see all the "influencers" just parroting the same few lines in the same order every time DICE releases a 30 second clip.

Also hilarious that the best argument that they can come up with for specialists is that you can play a game mode without specialists.

Yeah it's kind of bewildering that even the most ardent defenders of 2042 can only articulate a reason for specialists by just suggesting to play a mode where they do not exist.

It's just such a comically stupid change and no one can even really think of a reason it's a good one.

I'm worried that every map will be too large, even for 128 players. The arctic map is supposed to similar in size as Vikendi in PUBG, a map meant for 100 players in a BR. That's a bit excessive, like 3 or 4 Hamada's. I really don't think spending most of my time running between objectives is super engaging, the best maps in BF1 were smaller, like Amiens.

I really like big maps, but if I wanted to play walking simulator I'd play Hell Let Loose.

Specialists are cool, actually, because having a larger pool of cool things possible in game means more emergently cool stuff. It's fun to be able to play a medic with an LMG or a grapple shotgun guy, while still having a way to deal with vehicles or having recon balls or whatever.

The class system was fine, and this will be fine. The reason people are telling you to gently caress off to non-specialist modes is because after a while, trying to re justify the same points over and over to people who just want to be unhappy about something gets really grating!

Map size is a much more real issue, but we'll see with vehicle drops anywhere and such if it turns out to be good.

I don't think anyone expected it to be free. But not having a paid option at launch seems very short sighted.

If you don't go to market with a paid option for your service it indicates the business has a concerns with the quality of the service. Paying for a service from an end user perspective brings expectations regarding quality that DICE may not be able to meet at launch.

I think they're probably afraid of their servers being dumpster trash fires at launch and people are gunna be butt hurt enough without also having to deal with a paid services layer (persistent servers) that straight up doesn't work and putting that tire fire on their dev ops org to solve.

That's what I'm doing at first. It served me well for Far Cry 6 with Ubi's version. That said 2042 and that crazy rear end portal option and all the old maps...I'll be shocked if I'm not buying it.

It's hilarious, I've been playing B1 and B4 a lot recently and haven't paid much attention to 2042, so I had no clue about the Portal thing until I saw a random Jackfrags video on it yesterday. That said I was B1 maps were included, but eh that's game is still easy to find matches for. But with all of those maps I don't even care about no SP, as Battlefield has some cool missions here and there, but the overall stories...eh.

Is the EA Pro that comes with gamepass included in that Nov 12th early access launch? Even if for 10 hours that's plenty of time to figure out if it's improved at all since the beta.
