After the airstrike finishes, Bravo-One clears out any survivors and encounter the Legionnaire Mercenaries, a mercenary group said to be the strongest military organization in the world. They barely manage to escape, and are sent to destroy radar jammers to let an airstrike destroy the artillery. When the squad joins Juneau convoy, it is attacked by another artillery barrage. Bravo-One is then sent to clear a Russian-occupied farm before being extracted, but when their helicopter is shot down by anti-aircraft fire, they are then sent to destroy the anti-air emplacements and raid another Russian-occupied farm in Juneau Convoy's path. The squad is then sent to clear a Russian-occupied river crossing when the Russians destroy the bridge.

It's not hard to imagine other fan favourite maps making an appearance over the course of 2042's lifespan, as well as other factions, weapons and vehicles. It's fascinating, dizzying stuff.Īnd it's just the start, with Battlefield Portal due to enjoy support of the ongoing live service that's planned for Battlefield 2042. Without going hands-on ourselves it's hard to know exactly what is possible - and even then, this looks deep enough to reward a whole load of tinkering - but the example given had a player's health replenished every time they got a kill, with a team gun game mode then being built out with new weapons spawning in each team's hand once certain conditions have been met. The AI bots that now feature in All-Out-War also come handy in Portal - you can use them to test out modes and check balancing, or just sit back and see what fresh chaos you've conjured.ĭiving into the logic editor, it's possible to build entire new modes from scratch.
