As always, thank you for your feedback,
We'll continue to monitor it!

The team will continue to monitor feedback,
Thanks!

Hello!

As we are well underway with our second day of Battlefield 2042 Season 7: Turning Point we wanted to touch upon a couple of Community Issues you're flagging to us!

Conquest 64 Matchmaking

We have resolved an issue that resulted in some of you being unable to matchmake into the Conquest 64 tile on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

We're seeing you engage on the Battlefield once more, and it should now be resolved.

Xbox Series X|S Freezing Issue on Haven

We have identified the cause of the issue and are in the process of releasing...

We're aware that some of you are currently unable to progress the Season 7 Battle Pass, and at times are unable to spawn in with either the AK5C or SCZ-3. The team is actively investigating the root cause of this and we'll update you once we have resolved the issue.

https://preview.redd.it/ei9adwywfapc1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a67b2ad176ee24b568ee3f73814eb6e9efe626af

Additionally, we are also investigating some reports of Xbox Series X players currently freezing midmatch whilst playing Haven. Please keep your reports coming, and we will relay any further updates as soon as possible.

...

There are over 140++ participants to choose from if you so please and the vast majority are Battlefield. Watch and support a creator for their personality and their community, and enjoy the moment while doing so.

Also, we've invited Squid G to the studio to stream live from DICE with the development team, for the fanbase 😉

RPG increase is not in this update and its something that we intend for within the next couple of updates. 

This initial balance/meta shift will be looked at before we then do those changes, including alterations to Irish' APS which we hope will resolve the instances of vehicles hiding behind an infantry protective gadget. 

Ultimately we're wanting to do right by our players in as many ways that we're able to do so. I think we've consistently tried to do that for two and a half years+ now. We're glad that it's connecting with some of you, enjoy this season when it launches next week!

Yes, less instances of dusting for some rockets. Not entirely eradicated, but hopefully less. Let us know how it feels!

Will fire the suggestion through!

Welcome to Season 7: Turning Point!

Season 7 brings the battle for Earth’s most valuable resource to the Atacama Desert in Chile. Aligned with a new enemy, the Thousand Petals Coalition, Eastern forces launch an assault on the desert mining town of El Alicanto, to seize control of a massive subterranean water reservoir vital to Western and US forces.

We truly cannot wait to see all of your clips and reactions to Haven when Season 7 arrives, and stay tuned in the future to learn more about what has changed with Stadium, arriving in a later season update.

See you on the Battlefield!

DEV NOTE: State of Vehicles for Season 7

Alongside the work that our Weapons Team is doing across weapons, we are also making changes to how Infantry and Vehicles interact with each other in Season 7: Turning Point!

We’re aware that Ground Vehicles currently face too many threats both from infantry and other vehicles, and due to this it automatically encourages defensive gameplay which takes place from a large distance.

It has always been our aim to encourage and empower vehicles so that they feel able to engage with objectives and be alongside their fellow infantry te...

DEV NOTE: State of Weapons for Season 7

Season 7 brings changes and improvements that will permeate across the whole weapon arsenal in different ways. Season 7 includes a shift in META balance between weapon categories and raising the lowest time-to-kill to a healthier level, to a revamp of the visual recoil system to liven up the shooting experience alongside many more balance improvements.

Visual Weapon Recoil Improvements

As mentioned on ...

Reading this has meant a lot to the team, thank you for that ;)
We're glad we can show even more love to Chile!

It's possible to ramp up the playercount via Portal, but it's 64 player focused and intended for that!

Hello there!

Season 7: Turning Point for Battlefield 2042 releases on March 19, and today we’re taking a look at this Season’s brand new map: Haven!

Defining the Culture of Haven

Today we’re starting with a small behind the scenes look into how our team brings new maps to life.

When designing a new Season and its map, one of the things we look for is contrast. What can we do that feels different, and how can we explore new areas, themes, and emotions to enrich our available experiences?

For our art direction this meant that with Season 6 y...
