Battlefield 2042 update 1.2 is now available, and this is a list of all the additions and improvements.

Battlefield 2042 has been around for a long time, as the latter had a clear program by the developer team DICE, in order to support it with any contents.

However, the errors and problems that the latter faced in its final version, made the studio rearrange the cards again, as it made some sacrifices in order to improve the general experience in the game, which made it postpone the launch of most of the major updates in the game.

To this day, the latter has shared with us the new update program for game No. 1.2, which has been postponed on more than one occasion before its launch moments ago on all devices, and which carries many major additions and improvements to the game.

Including, for the first time, there is a modification to the design of some of the original maps released with the Battlefield 2042 game, in reference to the developers’ intentions to work radically to return the game strongly, which I leave you with its details as stated in the final report by the development studio via the official game website.

The most important new additions in update 1.2 for Battlefield 2042

Kaleidoscope map improvement

Earlier this year we had an open discussion with you about designing maps through the Basic Feedback Initiative - Maps. Through your feedback, we have identified several focus points related to our launch maps where our quality parameters can be improved through the berm, density, field of view, lane changes, and traversal. As a result, we've redesigned our launch maps to ensure gameplay is updated to these revised quality standards.

Redesigning maps takes some time, and the Kaleidoscope map is the first we've completed a redesign. You can play the enhanced version in this game update.

What has changed?

We've tweaked the playing area to give it more coverage, creating new flag locations and improving the flow across the entire map.

Coverage has been added not only with the placement of new assets but also with increased terrain to help obstruct lines of sight and allow pedestrians to move more purposefully across the map. Most importantly, these new assets offer more tactical destruction that helps ensure that the map evolves throughout the duration of each round, and provides both attackers and defenders with new options when playing in key areas.

We have also included new locations on the map, by adding a forward operating base in the park with a second command center near the tower. The data center has likewise received several passes from the teams to help ensure there are more points of coverage and include new manifestations of the horrors of war in certain areas, helping to make the map more suitable for the 2042 settings

. We hope you enjoy the new gameplay on this map, and we look forward to your feedback. About how to play this updated version once you try it.

And as a reminder, the "Regeneration" map is the next map we're working on redesigning. This is still a work in progress, and a remastered version will be available to play during Season 2. The

Specialists - Style and Sound Updates

In this update, we're adjusting our art direction to ensure the Specialists meet your expectations for the style and sound of our world for 2042. You'll notice updated Specialist character models to better reflect the violent situations they face. They witnessed it.

Below are several examples of these updated models. We'd love to hear your thoughts on new Specialist skins as soon as you see them in-game.

Player Profile

Another point of feedback from you is the ability to view in-game performance and stats. This feature will be available to you in Update 1.2 by entering a player profile.

Your profile displays your current in-game progress and performance stats since launch. View information such as your current rank, experience points needed to reach the next rank, associated edits, your best proficiency, and edits you are about to complete.

While viewing the stats screen, you can check information such as your kill/death ratio, kills, deaths, aids, revives, accuracy, shots fired, and much more.
