If you want to secure a legitimate copy of Battlefield 1943 or either of the two numbered Battlefield: Bad Company games, you only have a few weeks to purchase them from various online marketplaces. Electronic Arts announced Tuesday that it would remove the older titles from all online storefronts on April 28.

EA says the move comes as the company "shift[s] our focus towards our current and future Battlefield experiences." The announcement also cites "preparation for the retirement of the online services for these titles," currently set for December 8.

But the server shutdown argument doesn't fully explain the delisting of the Battlefield: Bad Company games, which both include single-player campaigns that don't require any server resources on EA's part. Our 2008 review of the original title specifically called out the "strong" single-player campaign and its "colorful characters with a high level of witty banter." Players that buy the Bad Company games before the April delisting will still be able to enjoy all offline features, EA said.

Battlefield 2042 review: The future of warfare is meaningless

Steve Haske · news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica · Tuesday, 23 November, 2021 - 20:22 · 1 minute

A sandstorm, one of the effects of climate change on Battlefield 2042 's (environmentally toothless) world.

There's a compelling game buried in the weather-ravaged wastes of Battlefield 2042 's grim, apocalyptic premise that has almost nothing to do with hectic firefights and chaotic vehicular blowouts the series is known for.

Instead, the setup—which is practically nowhere to be found within the game proper—reads like something out of Metal Gear Solid : in the near-future, extreme weather events and environmental disasters from climate change destabilize countries across the planet, causing more than a billion fleeing refugees to coalesce into a new class of nationless exiles called "No-Pats." Without homes to return to, they form private mercenary groups to protect themselves amid rising tensions over resources.

Already on the brink, civilization is struck another blow when an unknown event knocks out most satellites. That leaves America and Russia (the only two superpowers left standing) pointing fingers at each other over the ensuing blackout and global economic collapse. Each side responds via a proxy war, covertly deploying No-Pat task forces to safeguard its interests in climate conflict zones. You come in, boots on the ground, as one of several special-ops personnel, fighting meaningless battles ad nauseam in a ruined world for whichever side pays you.

Battlefield 2042 beta impressions: Strong ideas buried in a buggy mess

When DICE announced Battlefield 2042 would be delayed from this month to November , it joined a long line of other studios pushing back game launches due to pandemic-related development challenges. But after spending several hours recently with 2042 's open beta on PlayStation 5, I wonder if holding if this multiplayer-only sequel back by a matter of weeks will be enough time to fix the glaring issues present in its prerelease build.

Multiple developers at the studio have addressed this , claiming the beta is already outdated by three months and that a lot of the laundry list of technical hitches and bugs that players discovered have been fixed since. In a Reddit post , producer Ben Walke said DICE made the decision to "cap" progress on the beta early so the team could focus its resources on improving the game's launch build rather than pulling people away to polish up something only meant for a simpler prerelease representation of the real thing. But .
