EA and says they have thrown some light on their plans for the cross game in Battlefield 2042. While the characteristic is still under development, it is likely that there is no way for all players to join the same pressure groups.
During a new Invitation Technical Playuntest, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X / S and PC players can jump into games together. He says he is planning to divide the group of players among the players on those platforms and those of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. PC players and console can choose to go out of playing each other, which could calm concerns about the disparity between the Controllers and mouse and keyboard.
Dividing players between console generations could be a disappointment for some, especially for those with friends who do not have a decent game platform or have not been able to engage PS5 or Xbox Series X / S. However, it makes sense. The PS4 and Xbox One versions will have smaller pressure groups than in PC and current consoles, with 64 players instead of 128, as well as slightly condensed maps. Otherwise, the game will be the same on all platforms, including meteorological events such as tornadoes.
The cross progression is in the works as well. Your progress and articles (including those you buy) will be transferred from one platform to another, so if you jump between PC and PlayStation or Xbox, you will have access to all your equipment.
In other places, dice plan to use the bots to fill the lobbies when necessary to improve the pairing and perhaps you put it into play faster. It can not be excluded from using the bots, although the players will always have priority over the AI soldiers. If a player leaves half of the game, a bot will be responsible until someone else joins.
The bots must act in a similar way to human players, although they will not be able to use invertimes or class-based skills. The AI soldiers can carry out other tasks, such as reviving teammates, calling vehicles and capturing objectives. You can combat the bots in single and cooperative modes as well.
In a blog publication, covering these tidbits, dice and EA poured beans over some other characteristics, including vehicles, fully customizable reducers and how different modes are focused on certain areas of maps. Meanwhile, he says he said that you can not fight on each floor of a skyscraper, only the lobby and roof. More details about Battlefield 2042 will be revealed at the Live EA PLAY LIVE event on July 22.
