The newest Battlefield is here, and many all over the world who have been waiting quite some time for Battlefield 2042. Players are pulling off incredible kills in Battlefield 2042, are setting up strategies with friends to take down foes online, and enjoying the sandbox experience the game has to offer. The launch of the title can also be a time to celebrate outside of the game itself as well, and that is the case with one viral video involving a 360 camera and military tank.
A part of the magic of Battlefield has always been the creativity in gameplay that the series provides. For example, recently players found a way to put tanks on rooftops of Battlefield 2042 to dominate in inventive and hilarious ways. Tank gameplay has been a massive part of the series for quite some time, so it is only fitting that recently a video was shared that shows off the Battlefield-like tanks in real life.
Instagram user insta360 just uploaded a fascinating video titled Battlefield in real life. Using a real military tank and a camera with an invisible selfie stick, the camera positioning makes it look just like what a player sees when driving a tank in a game like Battlefield 2042. On top of that, some UI effects were also added, giving the impression of a reticle and the outline of the tank itself. As Battlefield 2042 looks to the future, the work done by insta360 appears to give an even better look at what the series could look like one day.
Right now, Battlefield 2042 has overwhelmingly negative user reviews, thanks to the game feeling unfinished with too many glitches. That being said, the bones of a fun experience are there. And fans are craving the Battlefield gameplay loop, which is partially why the Battlefield tank in real-life video has done big numbers online as well.
Fans have been communicating and even making a list of the features that are missing from Battlefield 2042 that they'd like to see added as soon as possible. It is totally possible that the game will be more fleshed out in the near future, as DICE and EA continue to support the game. That being said, there is a fear that Battlefield 2042 will be swallowed up by the likes of Call of Duty: Vanguard, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Halo Infinite before it can even get started. The hope is that players will be blasting opponents away with tanks in a well-crafted and highly supported version of Battlefield 2042 for years to come.
Battlefield 2042 releases November 19 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Players with EA Play or Xbox Game Pass gain one week early access.
