Vorige maand ging het eerste seizoen van Battlefield 2042 online en daarmee werd het nodige aan nieuwe content geïntroduceerd. Daarnaast werden er ook diverse issues aangepakt en daar doet DICE nu nog een schepje bovenop. De ontwikkelaar heeft namelijk update 1.1.0 uitgerold, die sinds vandaag live is.
Deze update richt zich op het toevoegen van zowel nieuwe functies en features, alsook het aanpakken van de balans en issues. Bij de aankondiging dat de update live is, heeft de ontwikkelaar tevens alle patch notes gedeeld en die kun je hieronder vinden.

Zolang er geen console-crossplay is, is deze game gewoon kut. Er is echt al enorm veel verbeterd, maar als console gamer keer op keer genaaid worden door PC boiiiis die elke keer instant headshots halen van de overkant van de map is de fun snel weg.
Totaal niet over nagedacht. Laten we muis en toetsenbord bij de consoles gooien…
Lol speelt iemand dit?
Ik had dit gekocht voor PS4 maar kan niet upgraden naar PS5 dus fuck dit spel
Wacht nog steeds of een metro map komt
@Anoniem-5797: ja best veel mensen. Behalve de zeikerds natuurlijk.
@Anoniem-8018: dan had je je iets meer moeten verdiepen daar in. Het was al vrij snel bekend dat ea vaag er over zou doen
@Anoniem-1087: Klopt en standaard staat crossplay ook gewoon aan. Zonder zijn er helaas te weinig spelers voor een match.
Ik haal ontzettend veel plezier uit de nieuwe map. Die voelt echt weer een beetje als de battlefield die we kenden
Ik wacht erop dat deze game in EA-access komt. De 10 trial uren heb ik grotendeels in de wacht gestaan om aan een online potje mee te doen. Dat was voor mij geen beste ervaring. Wellicht dat de game nu wat beter is, al hoor ik alleen maar slechte berichten!
Er is nog steets geen aim assist op console en je bent niks tegen over pc spelers. Heb hem gedownload en binnen 5min weer net zoo snel verwijderd.
