I’m going to run at a tornado
Battlefield 2042’s open beta went live this morning, giving folks a chance to jump into some futuristic 128-player wars before the game launches in full next month. While there was a brief pre-order early access beta period this week, it’s free for everyone to try right now, and is open until Sunday morning. I’ll admit, I’ve never been big on Battlefield, but my pals are pretty excited about this one, so I expect I’ll see you in the trenches this weekend.

To try it for yourself, you can request accesson Steam, click the Try It First buttonon Origin, or hit the Join Now button onThe Epic Games Store. Each should give you access to the beta client in your respective libraries, which will be around a 19GB download.
Once you’re in, you’ll get to try out the Conquest game mode on the Orbital map. It’s essentially a 128-player battle amongst skyscrapers, trees, military facilities, the odd tornado - oh, and a rocket that can take off mid-fight.
The open beta kicked off today at 8am BST (12am PT), and will end at 8am BST on Sunday the 10th of October (midnight Pacific on Saturday 9th).
Seeing as the beta has already been live for a bit, have you had a chance to try it out? This will be my first Battlefield, so I’m eager to find out if it’s good. When I play tonight, my mission will be to run directly at a tornado. I hope the consequences of this are at least somewhat entertaining.
