Last time, and then I'll shut up, can anyone either link me or tell me where the option to download gamepasss trial on Xbox is? Need help before work
The only way to pre-load the trial is by searching for the game on the Xbox app and pressing download to console. Once the trial is live you should be able to access directly from your console.

Graphically, this game looks really nice from the vids coming out


Good to know, thanks

I would expect AOW to be the most taxing, it is doing a lot more than any other BF game prior to it has. Conquest on BF1/V would bring my fps down to 80-100 depending on what was happening on screen (with a 3080/3700x) so I guess it shouldn't be too surprising in fairness. Still not ideal tho
If you are at 1080p low settings you should be getting a lot more than that. These games are very RAM dependant some good ram with good timings can give you upto 50FPS increases in Battlefield games.

portal looks like the real deal, I'm shocked at what they did. They are basically including a bunch of remasters plus a new game, for the price one. Good job EA

^^ ha that first clip is a bloodbath!

You get Hazard Zone and Portal, two new core pillars that weren`t there in previous BF games. I wouldn`t call that "giving you less"...

like they weren't going to include a Battle Royale mode either way.

You think the resources and hours that would have been used to create the single player campaign, weren't instead used to develop elements of what we see in 2042?

you think BF multi suffered in the past because they had a campaign?

and hey, maybe this is the right way to go. BF games have been on the decline for a while imo. if cutting out SP is what they needed to do to get the game back on track, then great. seems far fetched to me to think that that was the issue, but we'll see in a month or so how the game is holding up. if im still playing, then i wont be complaining.

Wait...the game doesn't have voice chat?!

"Here's the thing, though: Battlefield 2042 doesn't have its own voice chat — at least, not yet. During the event, EA and DICE divided players into pre-made squads and offered them Discord channels. According to DICE, there are plans to add voice chat after launch, but as of this writing, no one has confirmed to me when this might happen."

Battlefield 2042 is a reminder of how good the series can be

Albeit with a few glaring problems
Well, that is silly.

I guess there will be a lot of silent squads going around.

nah all that Portal stuff sounds too good to be true. Valparaiso? Arica Harbor? I don't trust you EA, there's got to be a catch. Absolutely cannot wait.

Small improvement i already want. Selecting the smart grenades with the wingsuit specialist. Doesnt really say what every grenades does. One is for vehicles. But kinda hard to judge from a icon wich one it is.

All out Warfare looks soooooooooo good oh my god, I can't wait

Yeah, that's true.

4:55, you can see a little bit of perf numbers on a 3080, numbers look similar to what you described

First match and i went 5 levels up. So that is fast as usual in the beginning
Also the new killfeed with the little BF3 icon is a nice touch

Is it just me or does this BF look surgical clean and not in a good way? like the textures or something just doesn't seem right with me I can't really explain it.

Ooof I know it's trivial, but that screen looks garbage compared to the map screens in BFV. Hopefully gets updated

Can I use a VPN for early access through PC game pass? Or is that just for folks that bought the ultimate edition

This wait is killing me lmao

Portal is the only thing why I'm still excited about this game, I just wonder how much longevity it has? Playing old content again is fun, but for how long.

That's not what I said. I said the resources that would have been spent on a largely redundant single player campaign have instead been put to work delivering content for the multiplayer. Levelcap in his video said he "feels comfortable in saying that the stuff to do in this game far exceeds that of any past Battlefield by a significant margin" so I'm pretty confident in saying cutting the SP had a bearing on achieving that.

Hyped for some new BF now. Really cannot wait to see those classic maps redone. Also interested to see what other maps they plan to launch.

Gamepass by itself only gives access to the 10 hour trial version. That unlocks on consoles at 4 p.m. UTC today (in 3.5 hours). I cant remember off the top of my head when the PC trial version unlocks. PC game pass basically unlocks EA Play in the EA desktop client so as soon as the trial appears in that client you should have access to it.

What the shit? How do they play early? I have a Gold Edition and says 8 Hours to go.

On Xbox consoles (and a bit differently on PC for genuine Xbox store games), if you own the game, you can change your location to NZ and it will use that as the basis of the unlock. So premium/ultimate people on Xbox could start playing around 90 minutes ago.

7.5 - 8 is what I expected. Don't know how you can review a game like this and have it ready for launch. I get they all went to a review event but that's not indicative to the experience once it's out for everyone. Also that bit from the GameSpot 😬

Caved. Gold edition. I feel dirty paying for early access. Oh well it's a treat.
Anyway to actually download it through the PS app? Only giving me the option to download the beta.
