Battlefield 2042 rolls out its first map change, with more still on the way

After promising that there would be big changes to the maps of Battlefield 2042, DICE have released the 1.2 update that does just that, at least for one map, with a few other changes along for the ride.

The map Kaleidoscope has seen some big changes with this update, now offering an improved gameplay flow through new cover assets, flag positions, terrain elevations and visual updates to several locations on the map. Check out one example how of the map has evolved.

Here are the other highlights that the update is including, as provided by DICE:

  • We are introducing the first Style and Tone change for our Specialists, which includes several updated character models

  • The power of the RAH-68 Huron and YG-99 Hannibal 30mm Cannon has been reduced by making it overheat at a much faster rate. This will help to limit their impact on infantry and bring it more inline with our balance

  • A Player Profile and Statistics page is now available in-game. It provides an overview of your performance and progression since launch

  • Aim Assist on Controllers has been adjusted to ensure it feels smoother and more consistent while tracking moving targets

  • The BSV-M Full Auto mode now receives an accuracy penalty, and High Power rounds now lose damage faster over distance

The full change log and it is a big one, can be found here on the games official site.
