Spoilers for Battlefield entries preceding this one, namely Battlefield 4 will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Battlefield 2042 is a First-Person Shooter in the Battlefield series, and the 17th game in the series overall. It is developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts, and released on PC, Playstation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One on November 19, 2021.Set in the near-future following the events of Battlefield 4, the world is in turmoil after Global Warming brings destruction across the Earth, causing world economies and superpowers to collapse. In the wake of the disasters, millions that were displaced form together from all different types of backgrounds and are called the Non-Patriated, or No-Pats. No longer bound to any nationality, they grow into a major force as the United States and Russia remain as the last two superpowers vying for control.More disaster ensues in 2040 when a majority of Earth's orbital satellites suddenly malfunction and crash into the planet, sowing chaos into global communication systems and supply chains, and the U.S. and Russia soon blame each other. Two years later in the year 2042 and at the brink of war, the two countries recruit No-Pats to fight for them over the planet's remaining resources, and whatever else is left of a storm-ravaged world.Releasing alongside 2042 is Battlefield Portal, a custom game editor that allows players to mix and match factions and maps from previous Battlefield games as well as modify the game's logic to create custom gameplay modes.Previews: Reveal Trailer, Gameplay Trailer, Portal Trailer, Exodus Short Film, Specialist Reveal, Open Beta Trailer, New Specialists Reveal. | |

Cool Old Guy: Irish. By the time of the game, he's 54, which is a pretty advanced age to be running around as an active combatant, and yet, juding by the Exodus short, Oz trusted him enough to let him run solo operations. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Battlefield 2042 (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: As seen in Global Warming, the lore in "How We Got Here" lays out that world is not in a good place. By 2042, Earth has gone through hell due to global warming, a refugee crisis due to many nations collapsing, and various calamities. The United States and Russia are not just the only remaining superpowers left on Earth, but two of the few remaining countries. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Battlefield 2042 (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Battlefield Portal is basically this trope as a game mode, where you can pit WWII Wehrmacht soldiers against cutting edge specialists from 2042 in a map that is set in 2014 at the Iranian-Turkmen border, among many other things. Even if you accept the fig leaf justification for the 2042 weapons being 'new' versions of old guns, these designs are based on weapons designed ~30 years before the current timeframe, with the PP-29 Bizon and GVT 45-70 designs coming from 1993 (50 years) and 1948 (95 years!) respectively. | |

Mythology Gag: Singapore is again featured in the series, this time with the harbour island of Brani as the setting of the map "Manifest". Backstory reveals that Singapore is now a vital location for American supply lines, so it can be inferred that the US liberated the city-state since the previous outing. | |

Hostile Weather | |
| Battlefield 2042 (Video Game) / int_2ddddebf | comment |
Hostile Weather: Similar to 4's Levolution, maps have various weather hazards that appear in the middle of a match to force players to adapt to the sudden change, such as tornadoes. The Exodus short sees the eponymous No-Pat ship passing a Category 5 storm just as hostile No-Pat aircraft approach them. Knowing that what he's planning to do is just as dangerous for the Exodus and everybody on board, Irish orders the ship to head into the storm in order to hinder the enemy, referring to the Category 5 as their "home field advantage". | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Battlefield 2042 (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: As usual for a Battlefield launch the game can get broken in various ways, some like the "Persistence Data" or "Direct X Function" error will just prevent you from playing entirely, while others will break once in-game or prevent the player using certain equipment. Hit registration was brutally bad after launch, with horrendous penalties for moving, and just generally poor recoil & deviation mechanics. On top of this, there was a bug where a player could effectively get "disconnected" from receiving accurate information from the server which would result in players being able to stand next to a stationary enemy, plug them with an entire magazine of ammo and get no hits. The same "stuck in a downed state" bug from Battlefield V returns. Nothing fixes this except quitting the game, or having your fallen body gibbed by a vehicle or explosive. If you don't get exploded, then you can't be revived, you can't redeploy, you just sit there. Certain high magnification sniper scopes will glitch out and become non-magnified, making them pretty much useless. The loadout system will also glitch and stop working, forcing players to use the defaults for an entire round. Most commonly seen when a player attempts to lock in a vehicle in the pre-game, but misses out and none of the other vehicles are available. The way the vehicle huds work is that they are an 3D overlay on top of the camera. Occasionally these can bug out, and moving the aimpoint will cause the overlay to glitch, moving around at random, blocking vision making it impossible to properly use the guns. The Party System is very buggy, causing a split in groups when a map ends. The lack of a server browser makes getting back into a server with your party impossible (eg, you got hit by the unable to revive bug), forcing everyone to quit back to the main menu to join a new server together. Dice had to remove the Sensor Grenade from the game for a short period of time because it was causing severe, game destroying rubberbanding lag. They patched it and placed it back in the game within days. | |

Ascended Meme: During the reveal trailer, a pilot ejects from his fighter jet to shoot a rocket launcher at an enemy jet before coming back to his plane, just barely grabbing the rim of the cockpit and climbing back inside. This scene is based on a Difficult, but Awesome tactic by Battlefield players called the "rendezook", where they eject from their planes flying straight upwards at high speed to shoot a rocket at an enemy plane before re-entering their plane as it coasts along in the air. | |

Cutting Off the Branches: As revealed in the Exodus trailer, Irish canonically survived the end of Battlefield 4's Sadistic Choice. Pac also makes a return, if only briefly, which implicitly rules out the story following the Valkyrie's destruction — and possibly cementing Hannah was the one who ultimately sacrificed herself to blow up Chang's warship. | |

Cosmetically Different Sides: Inverted. While there are faction-specific jets, helicopters, and tanks (that are functional clones as Battlefield tradition but have separate unlock trees), both sides can use many of the same vehicles and the same specialists, which in turn can use any weapon. In the open beta, only four characters and the lack of cosmetics means two armies of visually identical clones are shooting at each other, but each player may be using their character in a completely different way. | |

Conflict Killer | |
| Battlefield 2042 (Video Game) / int_9bff7822 | comment |
Conflict Killer: The trailer features a scene in which two factions are vying for control of Songdo, Incheon (the "Kaleidoscope" map)...only for soldiers from both sides to look up and see a massive tornado bearing down on them. At that point, everyone momentarily forgets their qualms to run for their lives. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Battlefield 2042 (Video Game) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The backstory of the game is a world collapsed by climate change, with bands of stateless refugees forced into conflict to survive, fighting a proxy war on behalf of the United States & Russia. The main trailers advertising the game and the way the characters interact in-game is cheerful and whimsical, on game maps that don't portray the dystopian, ruined future in the backstory. It's hard to take things seriously when your character hollers and hoots if you drive a vehicle off a sand dune to give it some air, or when the map ends and there's never ending smartass quips like "well well well, that was fun", "I think I pulled something back there", "that's it, I'm ready for round 2". | |

A.K.A.-47 | |
| Battlefield 2042 (Video Game) / int_c2b28f75 | comment |
A.K.A.-47: Unlike in the previous entries, many of the guns seen in the gameplay trailer have fictional names assigned to them. For examples, the MCX Spear is renamed the "M5A3" while the TDI Vector is the "K30". Averted with one of the Battlefield Portal weapons, the 93R burst-fire pistol, as it is the first time in franchise history that the weapon is modeled after a genuine Beretta 93R with its distinctive features, rather than simply taking a 92SB and sticking a folding foregrip on it, as it was done with the Battlefield 3 and 4 iterations of the "M93R". These name changes are mostly justified as the guns being "future" developments based upon the real weapons such the PP-29 Bizon being a "new" version of the PP-19 Bizon that was originally developed in 1993. | |

The Stateless | |

The Stateless: The Non-Patriated, or No-Pats, are a group of people that were displaced by the climate disasters explored in the "How We Got Here" page of the official website. Numbering more than a billion, they answer to no governments after being exiled by them and refuse to reassimilate. When tensions between the U.S. and Russia spark, the two recruits soldiers from the No-Pats to fight for resources. The Exodus short reveals that Irish defected from the USMC sometime after the events of Battlefield 4 and became a No-Pat. | |

Hero Shooter: In a departure from the regular class system, 2042 introduces named "Specialists" within each class with unique gadgets and passive traits such as a Syrette Pistol or a Grappling Hook, taking Battlefield in this direction. With the same characters available for both sides, it could lead to some odd situations like multiple clones of the same person shooting at each other. This was eventually changed so that classes were returned and the heroes becomes more akin to an extra equipment slot than a hero. Class now determines which equipment and which extra grenades you can choose as well as weapon profiency and the hero gives a unique equipment and passive. | |
