Why you can trust Pocket-lint
(Pocket-lint) – Battlefield 2042 has launched, and while it’s been met by a somewhat mixed reception thanks to its consistent bugginess and server issues, there’s still a heck of a lot of fun to be had in its modes and across its maps. Battlefield 2042 review: The ultimate playground needs some polish
This is a live service game in the modern sense, though, and Dice has made it clear that there will be a lot of post-launch content to support BF2042 – so find out what’s just arrived and what’s coming up, right here. What’s new to Battlefield 2042 in Season 1? The first full post-launch season of content is finally launching in Battlefield 2042 on 9 June, bringing a new map, Exposure, set in the Canadian Rockies, and a range of other additions showcased in the trailer below. A new specialist, Lis, joins the fray with a player-directed rocket launcher to inflict maximum damage on vehicles, while a new crossbow and marksman rifle give you some new weaponry to experiment with. There’s finally a 100-tier battle pass to work through, full of cosmetics and other unlocks (while every gameplay element will be in free tiers). It looks like a fun spread of content, although given it’s taken six months since launch to arrive, it might feel more than a little thin to the game’s fans. It’ll last for 12 weeks, which means we should see Season 2 in September 2022. You can find out more about the new season on the official Battlefield site here. What was new in Battlefield 2042 update #4.0? On 19 April 2022 Battlefield 2042 got a major update full of a massive amount of bug-fixing and tweaking, including one huge and widely-awaited addition in the form of VOIP – the ability to actually use voice-chat with your team in-game. Update #4.0 for #Battlefield2042 is now available across all platforms

There were also some adjustments to specialist traits, tweaks to vehicle power and hopefully more rewarding XP progression and ribbon awards to encourage more teamplay in online servers. There were so many changes that it would be impossible to list them all, so check the patch notes to peruse them in full. What was new in Battlefield 2042 update #3.3? A lot of people were waiting on BF2042’s 3.3 update, which brought the scoreboard that Dice promised some time ago, along with some other changes. Update 3.3 for #Battlefield2042 goes live across all platforms tomorrow, March 8, at 09:00 UTC
It’s a zero downtime update so you’ll be good to jump in and play once you have it downloaded

The scoreboard should be much clearer now, and you can also finally see how many times you’ve died, a key stat that was missing.
