Access to the Open Beta for anyone who pre-orders Battlefield 2042. Interested parties may also get an early look at Battlefield 2042 when EA launches an Open Beta later in September. After seeing those Bad Company 2 medics murder opposing soldiers with shock paddles in the Battlefield Portal trailer, I couldn’t be more hyped myself. When Battlefield 2042 launches on October 22, there certainly won’t be a lack of content to work through if you have an affinity for the battlefield games of yore.
Since Battlefield Portal is a mode of 2042’s, you’ll be able to enjoy custom games alongside All-Out Warfare and Hazard Zone on launch.

The teams also mentioned that the classic maps included as part of Battlefield Portal also have new large-scale variants to accommodate 128-player matches on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC versions of the game. The Battlefield Portal release date is the same as Battlefield 2042’s release date October 22. Ripple Effect Studios have been working hard on the Battlefield Portal project alongside DICE in Sweden to get it ready for launch this holiday season. Fan-favorite map Valparaiso is available for use in Battlefield Portal as well. This freedom to mix and match various eras of Battlefield is sure to be a hit with longtime series fans. For example, you can load into a session on Capsian Border while playing as the Allies from Battlefield 1942 against the Russian Army from Bad Company 2. Additionally, armies from different games can be pitted against each other. Players will be able to jump into the action and experience these classic maps using time-to-kill (TTK), player movement parameters, and equipment as they were in the original games. In addition to the seven new maps built for Battlefield 2042’s All-Out Warfare, Battlefield Portal brings along enhanced versions of six classic maps from the previous games, including Battle of the Bulge and El Alamein from Battlefield 1942, Arica Harbor and Valparaiso from Bad Company 2, and Capsian Border and Noshahr Canals from Battlefield 3. Capsian Border, first seen in Battlefield 3, makes a return for Battlefield Portal. This content includes more than just the maps themselves but also brings over weapons, gadgets, vehicles, factions, and classes from each respective game - all reimagined at the visual standards of Battlefield 2042. Battlefield Portal offers players the chance to experience classic series gameplay, maps, weapons, and more. Alongside the creative suite, Battlefield Portal will also launch with reimagined content from 3 of Battlefield’s most popular entries. During today’s EA Play event, DICE and Ripple Effect Studio showed off the second of three main modes in Battlefield 2042. The previously revealed All-Out Warfare mode will offer intense gameplay across both Conquest and Breakthrough sessions. Granted, it’s not as if vanilla Battlefield 2042 is always perfectly balanced either.Battlefield 2042 sits firmly in the conversation for the most-anticipated games of the year thanks to its impressive scale and player counts. Karmakut specifically mentioned thinking about reducing the damage of both rifles the next time he edits the mode. While that may be realistic, it is not exactly fair in a multiplayer FPS. Headshots with both rifles killed the target pretty much 100% of the time. For example, he chose to enter the match using the game’s DM7 Marksman Rifle and concluded that it and the SVK might need a nerf. It’s also, as Karmakut discovered, not necessarily a balanced experience. Losing the HUD is also less user-friendly, as Players in tanks had some difficulty aiming based on statements in the in-game chat. One could also argue that tanks, planes, and similar vehicles probably should have a heads-up display, as they mostly rely on electronic targeting in real-life. Soldiers and vehicles have an uncanny ability to survive long drops, and Battlefield 2042’s healing is still quite videogamey. As Karmakut would be the first to point out, it’s not a perfectly accurate simulation.
