Megathread Is Battlefield 2042 worth it now? - Mega Thread

154 Upvotes

Alright, folks, since we're seeing the same old question regarding if 2042 is worth it in 2023, 2024 or 2142 we're now deleting every post asking this particular question. Instead, discuss it in this thread.

So, should you buy 2042 if you haven't already?

Yes, if it's on sale. The game has a good amount of content for new players and still gets minor updates with some extra content as of March 2025.

The game is also available in subscriptions services such as EA Play or Gamepass Ultimate, so if you're interested in subscribing to those services, you can download and play Battlefield 2042, both on Playstation and Xbox consoles, same goes for PC.

The game features no campaign/story mode so keep that in mind. It is 100% a PvP/PvE game (you can play against bots in custom lobbies and sometimes in event playlists).

There is a wiki in the game explaining lore and events of the worldwide war 2042 depics.

The game now features a hybrid system of specialists and traditional classes, with restricted class gadgets but no restrictions to class weaponry, instead each class has a class perk (Recons for example have unlimited stability for sniper rifles).

Seasonal content such as weapons and vehicles can easily be unlocked via assignments. You don't have to spend a single penny on new content if you jump in, but there are shortcut kits for purchase if you want to unlock everything.

The main mode, All-Out Warfare, features game modes such as Conquest, TDM or Rush. Hazard Zone is the failed attempt of 2042 doing an Extraction Shooter.

Portal is the playground of 2042 where you can create your own game modes and playlists. It's also the only game mode with a server browser, AOW and HZ both only support matchmaking (but no SBMM or EOMM).

It feels unique for the meta grinders with the underground biome. Hagantal just feels so much like Locker

Is there still a decent amount of players even though BF6 is out?
I started playing on PS4 in maybe late 2023 till around when these skins came out, I’ve started missing the game but I don’t know if its better to just get BF6 because it’s half price with PS+ or redownload BF2042 cuz I have the PS5 disc version.
