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.

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.

...

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 ...

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!

https://preview.redd.it/sihoooxtjboc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=de050e4275b95603da28fe83b5dbed35fb92827f

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...

As we get closer to the reveal of Season 7 for Battlefield 2042, we wanted to begin touching upon some key gameplay changes set to take place!

First up is Weapon Recoil, take a look below to see how Assault Rifles, SMGs and LMGs will be feeling different in the upcoming Season.

With Season 7, we wanted weapons to feel more unique and powerful when it comes to firing them, as such we have made changes to how visual recoil is handled within the game and tuned them to the vision for each weapon.

Similar to the work that had taken place with Season 5 and Camera Sprint Motion, these changes will be more subtle to some of you while being more apparent to others.

It's an effort to create a more vivid firing experience, which will provide more visual emphasis on the weight and power of a weapon as you fire whilst aiming down sights.

Going forward we hope these changes will now provide distinct character to each weapon's gameplay and visual ex...

Community Note

Additionally, we had hoped that Update 6.3 would include the "Improved Map Rotations" Quality of Life Change as listed on our Road to Season 7 Roadmap.

This change is still on its way and will reduce the likelihood of playing the same location multiple times in short succession for All-Our Warfare.

While this won't arrive for Update 6.3, please stay tuned for more details on when to expect this in a future update.
