Introduction
Combat Grounds is a new Battlefield 2042 20v20 event series in which four factions compete in weekly matches to conquer and control regions on a strategic real-world map. Over six weeks, they battle to dominate the most regions and claim victory.
Compared to the hyper-competitive formats we usually build, this is a more accessible and less restrictive format that will be a perfect stepping stone for new players. We are incredibly hyped to see large-scale matches return to competitive Battlefield, and we hope seasoned veterans are as well.
Players can sign up alone or with a friend. This ensures that everyone gets to meet and play with new players.
Season 0 is our beta season ahead of the next game. It is an important test to help us perfect the format with your help and iron out any issues before we launch a much bigger event with the new Battlefield game.
We don’t want to give too much away in this article, as we want you to discover the format directly on the new website. We have created an in-depth “How it Works” page that explains how this new format works in detail, including how to sign up. We hope you enjoy!
