Anyway, for those of you are wanting to get your hands on the game soon, it seems that opportunity is going to be there next week. Battlefield 2042 open beta is starting on October 8, 2021.

Those of you who have played Battlefield games before would know what this is. For those of you who are unaware, Conquest is a game mode where large-scale maps are involved, and there are 128 players playing at the same time, with 64 on each side. The players will have to fight against the other team, and to control various objectives. In this beta, players will be able to play on maps set in Kourou, French Guiana. And, as for the specialists that are available in the open beta, it will be Boris, Casper, Falck, and Mackay. So, there are four choices in terms of the specialist you get to choose.
