EA hacked: Battlefield 2042 maker hit by huge data breach

Hackers breach EA corporate network, steal source code

www.techradar.com

Is it going to be full of cheats now then?

Looks like they only stole FIFA 21. Doubt it makes any difference whether the source code is out there or not for cheat makers.

Didn't they just recruit some high roller from cod?

🤔😳🤔😳🤔

Yeah.

And that's why there is now weapon charms in battlefield.

(Unless they were on the last games? Didn't notice though)

More the fact hacking got mentioned. Its an inside job i tell ya.

Been looking on PlayStation Store on the different Editions they got. What does the Year 1 Pass ensist off? I'm not bothered about cross gen but wondering if i should go for the Standard or Gold Edition

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

I imagine it'll be the same as MW stuff. Paid for guns, paid for skins etc.
I'm not sure if certain maps are paid for.

I went with the standard edition for £59.99 for the PS5 (price might have changed by now, it should have been £69.99)

 

[Geddes]

I’ll hang fire a little longer for more specific details on the editions. Got really lucky if you got it for £59.99. When I do get it I’ll just get it off PlayStation Store as it’s the normal price which is very surprising.

when does the Beta or Alpha come out normally?

The lack of a campaign is a shame - both BF1 and BFV I really only played for them - just couldn’t get into the online sections at all.

I’m sure I read that EA/DICE weighed up the cost of production for the campaigns compared to the percentage of gamers that actually played through them. It didn’t make much financial sense, apparently.

That said, I’m surprised at the lack of BR Mode? Surely that’s a given requirement on any FPS these days?

 

[Christopher]

F*cking weapon charms.

COD ruins everything.

 

[Jonnio]

😆

[imprezaworks]

Really hope it's not crap

 

[Greeny.]

The lack of BR is a good thing imo, its such a fad, im sure they only put it in BF5 to keep relevant with how big PUBG was at the time and it showed they didn’t care much for it as it was terrible. With Warzone now taking over the as the BR king, im glad Dice are keeping to what they know rather than trying to cover all bases 'just because'.

I'm hoping its as good as BF3, nothing has really come close to that for me, but that’s probably because frostbite was abit of a game changer, did also enjoy BF1 but BF4 & BF5 lost me almost completely after a couple of months despite looking amazing compared to COD.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

BF3 was incredible tbh. I enjoyed 4 but it didn't last long. 5 and 1 I think I played the war stories and a few hours of MP before I gave up.

Will be interesting to see if BR is a fad. I don’t think it can compete with more dynamic and progressive game modes like Rush and certainly not a patch on 2142’s Titan Mode.

 

[Jonnio]

Yes.

Can pre order this on PC for £33.99

Took the plunge and pre ordered the Gold Edition on PS Store

 

[Jonnio]

Fingers crossed it works during the "play test".

 

[Jonnio]

One of the new tanks confirmed. Looks insane!















😄

 

[Jonnio]

Errr...ok I guess 🤔

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Not sure about that.
Is that one of the new modes instead of Warzone?

F15 Vs a Messerschmitt..... Seems legit..

 

[Jonnio]

Basically sounds like a fully customisable sandbox type thing where you make your own game modes and stuff using stuff from past games.

"Hazardzone" still to be revealed as far as I know.

I like that they're trying something new, but if they could just fix the broken stuff first that'd be awesome.

Like how there were supposed to be custom game rotations in BFV, but that never worked so you were stuck with whatever map/game mode rotation they had going.

 

[Jonnio]

Did a pre-order on the Gold Edition just. Considered the Ultimate one but the soundtrack (which will surely come out on Spotify), artwork and some gimpy looking black skins don't interest me much.

Rumours that Hazard zone will be some sort of Hunt Showdown/Tarkov-esque experience with AI and other players are interesting.

The gameplay leaks that have come out look/sound very BF3/4, maybe even a bit too much like them?! We'll see lol.

 

[Jonnio]

Can a mod change the title to Battlefield 2042?

 

[imprezaworks]

Can't wait for this game. Fingers crossed its decent. Gonna make and uninstall vid of warzone if so 👍👍

“a mod”

And I thought I was worth more to you than a generic title.

Delayed. Ffs.

Only benefit is it gives me time to get my computer and get used to mouse / keyboard before the fun begins!!!

Alright show off.
I'm ready with my ps5 and new TV. Waiting happily, only for it to be snatched away for another shift at work.

I’m trying to be positive. Inside, I’m crushed. More WZ…..

Ive just been playing the other game mode in work. It's been a mixture of learning to snipe and watching my slow ass head get blown off from the other end of the map. Really hard to play WZ out at sea at the moment.

 

[Jonnio]

Had been niggling a bit that there'd been no beta or Hazardzone info. 😑

Back 4 Blood at least next month if you're into that.

After Vanguard? They’re fucked now.

 

[Geddes]

Haven’t they been saying all along their way ahead of schedule? Any news on the Beta this month?
