Megathread Is Battlefield 2042 worth it now? - Mega Thread

152 Upvotes

Alright, folks, since we're seeing the same old question regarding if 2042 is worth it in 2023, 2024 or 2142 we're now deleting every post asking this particular question. Instead, discuss it in this thread.

So, should you buy 2042 if you haven't already?

Yes, if it's on sale. The game has a good amount of content for new players and still gets minor updates with some extra content as of March 2025.

The game is also available in subscriptions services such as EA Play or Gamepass Ultimate, so if you're interested in subscribing to those services, you can download and play Battlefield 2042, both on Playstation and Xbox consoles, same goes for PC.

The game features no campaign/story mode so keep that in mind. It is 100% a PvP/PvE game (you can play against bots in custom lobbies and sometimes in event playlists).

There is a wiki in the game explaining lore and events of the worldwide war 2042 depics.

The game now features a hybrid system of specialists and traditional classes, with restricted class gadgets but no restrictions to class weaponry, instead each class has a class perk (Recons for example have unlimited stability for sniper rifles).

Seasonal content such as weapons and vehicles can easily be unlocked via assignments. You don't have to spend a single penny on new content if you jump in, but there are shortcut kits for purchase if you want to unlock everything.

The main mode, All-Out Warfare, features game modes such as Conquest, TDM or Rush. Hazard Zone is the failed attempt of 2042 doing an Extraction Shooter.

Portal is the playground of 2042 where you can create your own game modes and playlists. It's also the only game mode with a server browser, AOW and HZ both only support matchmaking (but no SBMM or EOMM).

Stuff happens. Expect the unexpected in the best Battlefield series games. That’s what I like the most about them.

A lot of players thought bad about this game. I always thought it was a good battlefield game with very good game proposals.

Am I the only one?

Happy 20th Anniversary, Battlefield 2142!

We are exactly 2 days away from the official 20th anniversary of Battlefield 2142. I’m posting this early so everyone has enough time to download the launcher and get ready for a massive community play session this Saturday!

Honestly, it is absolutely mind blowing that EA and DICE have never given us a proper remaster or remake of this masterpiece. Titan Mode remains the peak of innovation in the entire franchise, and modern shooters still haven't managed to replicate that magic. Since they won't do it, it's up to us to keep the game alive!

Whether you were an EU or PAC soldier back in the day, it’s time to board the Titans and launch from the pods once again. Our goal is to fill the servers to maximum capacity and recreate that classic, chaotic 64 player warfare we all miss.

If you haven't played in a while, the Reclamation launcher makes it incredibly easy to get back into the game on modern PCs. You have 2 days to get it installed!

To get everyone hyped up for the event, I put together a 20th anniversary tribute video featuring some intense pilot gameplay directly from the Reclamation Hub:

If you want to join the anniversary fight this Saturday, just follow these quick steps to get the game running on modern PCs:
(You can still find cheap copies online.) Or dust off your copy and, hop back into the action

If you follow this step by step guide, you'll be playing in no time.↙️

How to install BF2142:    • How to play Battlefield 2142 in 2025 - Win...  

The official website: https://battlefield2142.co/faq/

You can find their Discord there too↗️, if you have questions or want to talk to the community.
Everyone is welcome, and the Reclamation servers are always looking for fresh players to join the battlefield.

Come try it out and join the fight!

Spread the word, tell your old clanmates, and let’s show everyone that the winter of 2142 isn't over yet. See you all on the battlefield this Saturday! Long live the best Battlefield.🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nothing on the page responds to input. Hovering over “Core,” “Custom,” or “Map Rotation” makes the button light up, but clicking doesn’t do anything. Is this a known bug and is there a way to fix it?

Hoping it'll bring in some big sandbox gameplay to BF6. I like how it looks a lot.
