What about story? This year, Battlefield is skipping a story campaign and focusing on multiplayer. However, that doesn’t mean there’s no story. It will just be told within the framework of multiplayer and in the Hazard mode.
The setting is quite interesting. According to DICE’s future version, the EU will no longer exist in 2042, and Germany will go bankrupt.
What about anti-cheat measures? In a statement, DICE has commented extensively on the topic. Battlefield 2042 will show no mercy to cheaters and will immediately ban every caught cheater without prior notice.
