Much has been said about Battlefield 2042 and the numerous issues players have faced, but they’ll have fewer to deal with in the near future. Among them is Battlefield 2042’s scoreboard, which DICE has confirmed will be getting replaced next month.Ever since they first got their hands on the game, players have taken issue with various aspects of Battlefield 2042’s current scoreboard. One of the biggest complaints is that, while individual stats are tracked, the game currently doesn’t track how one’s kills, assists, revives, etc. compare to other players in a match, making it less of an actual scoreboard and less helpful for competitive-minded players overall. This won’t be the case for too much longer. DICE announced this week that it will be introducing a “refreshed” scoreboard with Update 3.3, slated to arrive in “mid to late” February. The main addition will be a new panel that will show players and their squadmates’ stats next to those of the top-performing players in any given match. What’s more, the panel will differentiate between real players and AI bots, so players will have a better idea of whether they’re competing with other people or the game itself.
Some players may have a few complaints about the new scoreboard, but DICE stressed that it’s still a work-in-progress. Once the refresh drops into the live game, the developer intends to continue iterating on the scoreboard based on feedback. As such, it remains to be seen how the scoreboard will evolve further in Battlefield 2042.
Before Update 3.3 arrives next month, DICE will release Update 3.2 tomorrow, January 20, bringing with it a number of small fixes and stability improvements. These include fixes to hit registration issues affecting the Specialist Sundance and rubberbanding when running behind allies, as well as improvements to the XP system in Battlefield 2042’s Portal mode. While relatively minor, these should help to ensure a smoother experience for players from here on.
Battlefield 2042 has had its share of game-breaking bugs throughout the last few months, and there are still plenty of issues that remain to be addressed. DICE acknowledged as much, stating that it is working on expanding matchmaking preference options in All-Out Warfare and All Platform VOIP. In closing, the developer assured players that it will continue to work towards improving Battlefield 2042 and its performance in ways both big and small.
Battlefield 2042 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
