Battlefield 2042 Are FINALLY Bringing Classes Back​

DICE has officially given fans more details about how Battlefield 2042's pivot to a class-based system in the game's upcoming 3.2 update will work, including information about its new Weapon Proficiency system.

At launch, Battlefield 2042 featured Specialists, unique characters who each had a special ability or gadget but all weapons were available to all characters meaning they didn’t really have roles like in past BF games. DICE stated that many players found them to be polarizing, for example it was hard to tell at a glance what an enemy player could do, and the dev quickly began putting together a team to analyze what could be changed based on fan feedback.

The result is not that Specialists are going away entirely, but that they will instead be categorized into the four classes Battlefield fans know and love--Assault, Support, Engineer, and Recon.

EA Sports has been producing officially licensed PGA Tour video games since 1990, with stars like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy lending their names to the product over the years. However, the company has not released a PGA Tour video game since 2015, meaning other franchises have had time to slide into the space once occupied by EA Sports’ mainstay series.

However, EA Sports is ready to make up for lost time with its newest title. The emphasis this time around is on realism, not only with how the players and courses look but also in how players must approach every hole. For starters, each of the 30 launch courses was created with the help of the course superintendents, state-of-the-art technology (including helicopters equipped with lasers), and even geologists to ensure the most true-to-life experience for...

After nearly five years since its stunning announcement trailer, we’re now just one month away from the launch of Atomic Heart, the strictly single-player first-person shooter that thrusts you into an alternate history Soviet setting and tasks you with taking on an army of angry androids. The good news is that after going hands-on with the first couple of hours of a near final build of the game, this bolshevik BioShock seems as though it could well be worth the wait – its superpowered combat, fascinating story and spectacular setting all appear to be clicking seamlessly into place to form a cohesive whole, blinking into vibrant life like one of its many deadly assembly line creations.

The opening moments of Atomic Heart’s reportedly 25-hour campaign takes you from the sun-kissed streets of Chelomey City floating high among the clouds, all the way down to the shadowy subterranean depths of the ruined Vavilov facility, where a violent robot uprising has wiped out almost all human...
