The game's developer DICE, with the increased player support, will bring maps to Battlefield 2042 that are larger than all the maps we have seen so far in the Battlefield series.
Environmental Changes
Although the maps in Battlefield 2042 will be enormous, their sizes will change as the game goes on. This is because of the environmental effects that will occur in certain matchups. Since violent winds or sandstorms will occasionally appear and harm players, the size of the battlefields will not always stay the same.
Plus Menu
This interactive system, called the "Plus Menu", will let players change weapon attachments wherever they are on the map, swap scopes if they are moving to a tall building, and switch to another red dot for close range.
Grapple Gun
The weapon called the Grapple Gun will let players easily gain a height advantage over other players. This simple but powerful weapon will give players some quite odd moments and bring some new methods into the game.
