The insanity starts as soon as the round begins where you are running alongside 63 of your teammates. At first you might think, “Okay, neat? Lots of people on the map? Big deal.” That is until you actually join a game on these large maps with 128 players. On next gen hardware (PS5, Series S|X and PC), battles can take place versus 128 players. There are also the large maps and player counts in Battlefield 2042 that are quite impressive. Even with this jarring feeling at times, this is probably my favorite addition to Battlefield 2042 and an extremely fun time with friends. I found myself playing maps on Battlefield 1942 (using 2042 gameplay mechanics) and finding the experience to be a little jarring. The only main issue is that the Battlefield 2042 gameplay mechanics don’t always transition back to those original games very well. It’s amazing what people are able to create within the Portal, and it’s quite remarkable being able to go back to these classic maps and ultimately change everything about them. It’s ultimately both the coolest and strangest aspect of Battlefield 2042. In my time playing with Battlefield Portal, I’ve been able to play both re-creations of classic Battlefield 1942 maps (in 2042 graphics) to even an entirely new battle royale mode built within 2042‘s framework. What can you create? Essentially anything. This includes Battlefield 1942, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 content. You’re given the tools to select a timeframe set in the Battlefield universe. One of the best additions to Battlefield 2042 has to be the Battlefield Portal, which is basically a make your own “best of Battlefield” experience. While it doesn’t come out swinging extremely well, Battlefield 2042 does enough to keep you coming back wanting to play more…provided the right circumstances play out. This meant that Battlefield 2042 needed to come out of the gate swinging to really stand out. After getting delayed at (relatively) the last minute, Battlefield 2042went from being one of the shooters starting off the holiday season to being one sandwiched in between the very mediocre Call of Duty: Vanguard and the literal surprise release of Halo Infinite‘s multiplayer. The Battlefield franchise finds itself in a very unique position this time around with Battlefield 2042.
