Overview
- Multiplayer is widely hailed as a return to form and a credible rival to Call of Duty, especially on the larger, longer-range maps.
- Reviewers flag a limited launch pool of nine maps with several close-quarters arenas, prompting calls to prioritize more traditional large-scale battlefields.
- Classic classes return and matches cap at 64 players, changes seen as correcting Battlefield 2042’s missteps and improving pacing.
- The single-player campaign is consistently criticized as linear and forgettable, with commentators urging post-launch fixes or an expansion.
- Live-service plans move ahead with Season 1 slated for Oct. 28, with strong early engagement and reportedly seven million sales in five days, and the game available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
