"Battlefield 2042" has no traditional singleplayer campaign. The multiplayer mode is the focus of the ego shooter. But is that enough? Apparently not, because with EA Play Live developer Dice and Electronic Arts follow.
Ripple Effect Studios, formerly Dice Los Angeles, works feverishly on the completion of "Battlefield 2042 Portal". No, that's not a mobile game and has nothing to do with Valves Science Fiction Cudders. Instead, this is the long-tempered modular mode that helps create your own types of play and playlists.
The Clou: For "Battlefield 2042 Portal" you do not need a full version of "Battlefield 2042". It is an independent game client that you can conveniently control by PC, mobile phone or console - a website. The only thing you need is an active, free EA account.
DICE or Ripple Effect Studios would like to give the community maximum liberties. So if you come a brilliant idea on the way, you can conveniently implement these by smartphone. Since the editor also has some advanced features in Petto despite vivid menu navigation, the team promises to launch extended tutorials and a guide that explains all the functions.
In a presentation in advance of EA Play Live, Ripple Effect Studios led us through "Battlefield 2042 Portal". So what is behind the battlefield construction box?
Classic meeting modern!
"Battlefield 2042 Portal" does not offer "Battlefield 2042" a new home. Dice brings maps, fractions, weapons, vehicles and battlefield 1942, "Battlefield 3" and "Battlefield Bad Company 2".
These cards can be found in addition to the seven confirmed maps from "Battlefield 2042" in the "Battlefield 2042 Portal":
- Caspian border and noshahr channels from "Battlefield 3"
- Ardennes Offensive and El Alamein from "Battlefield 1942"
- Arica Harbor and Valparaiso from "Battlefield Bad Company 2"
The Clou: Dice fits the maps to the new technology. On PlayStation5 you therefore run the second on the basis of the current version of the Frostbite Engine at a resolution of 4K and 60 images. In addition, it was confirmed that the cards of "Battlefield 1942" were extended to destroy effects. In addition, you can forget the once given game numbers. Thanks to "Battlefield 2042 Portal" go to PlayStation 4 up to 64 players, and on PlayStation 5 up to 128 players online.
Practical editor
As mentioned above, "Battlefield 2042 Portal" is an external editor, which is connected via EA account with your game. In addition to the content created by Player, there will also be official content. Of course you do not have to work yourself. Who wants to consume and try passively foreign content. On the other hand, you are a master builder, you decide how your created content shares: You can leave it private and even protect it with a password or make you public. Everyone can use them then, but only they may adapt them. Very practical: For easy "sharing" "Battlefield 2042 Portal" generates a code that you can post via social media and then have other access to your creation.
In the presentation, Justin Wiebe, Senior Design Director at Ripple Effect Studios, introduced the current status of "Battlefield 2042 Portal" and explained the procedure by way of example. He is currently crafting on a mode in which a team is only with sniper rifles and the other with shotgun.
In the editor you will find an overview of subcategories on the left side, where your settings can make. First, you determine the desired game mode - such as Conquest or Rush. After that you look at the maps on which your game is to be drawn. If desired, you put together a whole playlist here. Here you also determine how many participants should come into every team and can even produce asymmetric lots.
"Battlefield" construction box for detailed loving
Afterwards you take care of fractions, classes, equipment and vehicles. How about a lot Conquest between the units of "Battlefield 1942" and "Battlefield 2042"? No problem! With simple ticks, your available classes or specialists, weapons, essays and vehicles choose.
Extreme settings are also possible here: In the trailer we observe how an army of knife fighters against a troop armed with defibrillators. Of course you can also forbid certain weapons or vehicles completely. And if we are already there, just adjust the damage caused to body or head hits, the speed of the projectiles regulates up and prohibits the laying for snipers. Incidentally, DICE or Ripple Effect does not fit the game balance of weapons and political groups. This task is leaving the community: what's fun should be played and what does not make fun is sorted out by itself.

You can also regulate the properties of computer soldiers. So you certainly determine whether they should fill up the armies or even take over completely. But it is really complicated with the logic or rule editor. Here you make your own "if ... then" elements and other factors together. In the presentation, Wiebe couples a successful shooting to the refilling of health. Here, the handling is more complicated because you want to use different parameters to assemble them to "rules". This feature is aimed at experienced master builder.
Some with the revelation of "Battlefield 2042 Portal" went the announcement of the Open Beta. This takes place in September. However, there was no information about content or a precisely date.
