But unfortunately, I have to admit that Battlefield 2042 didn’t hold my attention for very long. As a result of the game’s lackluster critical and commercial success, the team at Battlefield Studios decided to return to a more modern and traditional setting, which, while not perfect, was a much better experience overall. With the simple addition of a campaign mode, new multiplayer features, and the return of Battlefield Portal, there’s plenty to love no matter what era…
