It’s similar to Conquest, then, but where Battlefield normally focuses on scale and bombast, Tactical Conquest shrinks everything down. For a start, teams are smaller, with the first week featuring 8vs8 and the second week 16vs16. Maps are smaller, too, with matches taking place on constrained versions of existing maps Arica Harbour,Breakaway, Caspian Border, Discarded, Renewal and Stranded.

There will also be new skins to unlock for completing missions. You can read about those and find more screnshotsover at the event’s site.

Battlefield 2042 initially had grand plans for its seasonal content, but much of itwas delayedwhile EA Dice focused on fixing bugs and adding missing features. Unfortunately they’ve also cut less popular 128-player modes,even though months later the Steam store page still advertises them.
