EA’s Battlefield 2042 has attracted its fair share of controversy since it launched last November, with players unhappy with the omission of key features at launch as well as some questionable design decisions which resulted in fan backlash.
There have been updates since release that have corrected the course of Battlefield 2042, with the belated launch of its first season earlier this month introducing a new map and features that have gone down well with the game’s community.
Despite these updates, however, Battlefield 2042 still has players fighting under a Russian flag as one of the two factions in the game – a decision that sits uncomfortably given the invasion of Ukraine from Russian forces, and in light of EA’s decision to remove Russian clubs and the Russian national football team from FIFA 22, FIFA Mobile and FIFA Online.
