Do not forget that this is a free-to-play proposition, not a free-to-own offer. The game will be free from these weekends. My guess is that EA and DICE want more players to experience the latest version that seems much better than the previous version of a game. As for Battlefield 2042s Update 3.0, it included over 150 fixes. DICE has released Update 3.1, which fixes new issues. The game still suffers from major issues and there still is no server-browser (or any of the earliest features, however, the BF fans have been requesting these past few weeks). I didn’t remember a game like that when Battlefield opened at a new site. Obviously, as I said, this seems to be a desperate move to increase the player base. Ironically, as with the case of BF 2042, there is an FPS game called Clownfield 2042. My guess is that this parody game BF 2042 is free to play. It will definitely be funny that this is a real game. That’s why you can download the game from here.
