Battlefield 2042’s big map changes leave fans disappointed

Battlefield 2042 developer EA Dice has outlined the game’s first major changes, following the announcement last month that it will dedicate several updates to streamlining and improving the game’s multiplayer maps .

In a blog post , the developer said it's taking on community feedback to overhaul two maps first - Traversal and Kaleidoscope. The spawn and flag points on both will be moved close together to reduce the time players spend traveling, and the distribution of vehicles will be tweaked so you’re forced to spend less time on foot.

Extra cover has been added in open spaces to reduce the frequency of long-range firefights, and also added around Flags and Objectives. DICE says the additional cover and line of sight blockers should help resolve some of the issues that have been highlighted by the community.

Other changes include environmental tweaks, like changing areas of grass into mud to better immerse players in the battlefield, as well as reductions to the availability and cooldown of vehicles. Dice says those vehicle changes should make the objective areas of 128-player battles less chaotic, something fans have been asking for.

The first batch of map changes, which includes the alterations to vehicles, will release in the game's next update. The remaining changes – to spawn points, flag locations, and cover – will arrive sometime during Season 1, which is expected to launch this June or July.

However, the player response to the changes hasn’t been hugely enthusiastic. Over on the Battlefield 2042 subreddit , players have expressed disappointment at how few changes are being made and how late they’re to be implemented.

Dice has outlined changes to only two of Battlefield 2042’s seven original maps and suggested the biggest of those tweaks are months away.

With no mention of other, big updates dropping until the release of Season 1, this map rework has provided cold comfort to many players who are already disappointed with the game's bugs and low rate of content drops.

Regardless of how necessary these map changes are, much of the Battlefield community was expecting larger action from Dice. If it wants to revive the ailing game, it'll need to think bigger.

The OnePlus 10 Pro’s global launch date has finally been revealed, and it’s very soon

The OnePlus 10 Pro has seen a weird, drawn-out launch, as while it landed in China in January, and was re-launched at MWC 2022 in February, we’re still waiting for it in most parts of the world. But that wait is now almost over, as OnePlus has announced that the phone’s global launch event is on March 31.

The launch kicks off at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm BST, or at 1am Friday 1 AEDT, and the OnePlus 10 Pro will be coming to Europe, North America and India following this launch – so Australians are out of luck, as usual with OnePlus products.

If you’re interested in buying the phone, you’ll be able to pre-order it from March 31 on Amazon and OnePlus’s own website. As a pre-order bonus, you’ll also get a pair of OnePlus Buds Pro thrown in for free.

The company hasn’t announced how much the OnePlus 10 Pro will actually cost yet, but we’re sure to find out on March 31, so there’s not long to wait.

TechRadar will be covering the global OnePlus 10 Pro launch in full, so make sure to check back then for all the details.

Analysis: we know almost everything already

Given that the OnePlus 10 Pro is already available in China, we already know all of its specs and features, so the main things left to learn are simply the price and the actual release date (since March 31 is just when pre-orders open).

So what does the OnePlus 10 Pro offer? It has a 6.7-inch 1440 x 3216 AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and a 5,000mAh battery with 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

It also has a triple-lens rear camera, with a 48MP f/1.8 main sensor, a 50MP f/2.2 ultrawide one, and an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto one, with 3.3x optical zoom. There’s also a 32MP camera on the front, and the phone sports a high-end metal and glass build.

So this is a rival to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus or even the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra , and while we don’t know the price yet, it’s sure to be high.
