GAMEPLAY FEATURES:
A World Transformed by Disorder
In 2042, extreme weather events and resource conflicts have shifted the balance of global power. The United States and Russia stand at the brink of war, while a mix of Non-Patriated combat veterans form independent groups known as Task Forces. Fight to define the future in this never-before-seen theater of war.
Vast and Dynamic Environments
Get an even greater sense of spectacular, large-scale war on seven massive maps crafted through a revamped design philosophy. Each battlefield has multiple distinct combat areas housed in a single playspace and this extra space means more variety and more meaningful vehicle gameplay tanks have more space to roam, fighter jets have more airspace to maneuver. On these maps, you'll experience ever-changing battle conditions and gameplay challenges. Adapt on-the-fly to dynamic events and disasters, such as sandstorms in the deserts of Qatar, a rocket launching from French Guiana's Space Centre, and tornadoes threatening South Korea's concrete jungles.
Specialists
Choose your role on the battlefield and form hand-tailored squads through the new Specialist system. Based on Battlefield's four Classes, Specialists have one unique Specialty and Trait but the rest of the loadout is fully customizable. Choosing and equipping your Specialist allows you to build synergies within your squad and empower yourself to take on any battle situation.
