BF 2042: Road to Battlefield 6 is one of the more interesting game updates fans have seen, using an older, despised entry to advertise the beloved new one. It seems to have worked, for the most part, as player counts have increased and gamers are playing 2042, whether they like the game or not.
One thing fans have admired about this free Battle Pass is how EA and DICE are self-aware about this game’s flaws. A fan on the game’s subreddit noticed one of the unlockable cards is called “Seeing Things,” which makes fun of this infamous BF 2042 bug that stretched the necks of these soldiers.
Fans who were there at launch will remember how horrifying it was to see soldiers with giraffe necks in the game, which was obviously a bug. This was only one of many glitches that broke the shooter for many, which is why seeing references to it in-game is shocking. If there’s one thing fans can appreciate about BF 2042: Road to Battlefield 6, it’s seeing these devs learn from their mistakes and poke fun at themselves.
To the credit of EA and DICE, Battlefield 2042 did start building a fanbase after some major patches were released. Maybe it was Stockholm syndrome or fans enjoying the gunplay, but these players did stay with the game, despite being a punching bag for the internet. At least, they’re getting one final reward for their loyalty with this huge content update, as fans wait for BF6.
Don’t be surprised if BF 2042: Road to Battlefield 6 is this game’s last major update, as it still doesn’t have a BF6-sized fanbase. Still, the shooter is getting plenty of traction now, and we think EA deserves a pat on the back for using this game as a bridge to advertise their more exciting new entry. Let’s just hope BF6 doesn’t have a similar launch to BF 2042, or this franchise will stay in hiding for another five years.
