Since the very beginning of Battlefield, with the original Battlefield 1942 and its American assault troops armed with BARs, this class has always been about breaking through enemy lines. Their job is to create an opening so the team can advance and secure the area.
Season 2 has officially tipped off!
To celebrate the season, let’s revisit 15 of the most memorable episodes, beginning with the Halloween special that launched this tradition.
The film unfolds over a single day, beginning late at night when Rashid and his family are forced to stop at a roadside garage after accidentally hitting a dog. There, a mechanic named Vahid recognizes Rashid’s prosthetic leg and believes him to be Eqbal, the man who brutally tortured him in prison – a torturer known as “Peg Leg.” Suffering from ongoing health problems caused by the abuse, Vahid kidnaps Rashid, intending to bury him alive, but starts to question if he has the right man. He seeks help from another former prisoner, who leads him to Shiva, a photographer currently shooting a wedding for a fellow ex-detainee, Golrokh. Shiva then involves her ex-lover, Hamid, who may have suffered the most from Eqbal’s cruelty. Together, this group of traumatized former prisoners embarks on a journey to confirm the man’s identity as the infamous Peg Leg and decide what to do with him.
The main characters return, with the story picking up in 1982, a few years after the first film. Finney Blake (Mason Thames) and his sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw), are still living in north Denver. Though Finn is known as the boy who survived and defeated the Grabber, he hasn’t been celebrated for it. Instead, he’s struggling with his past and is shown aggressively confronting a classmate who mentions it, risking becoming the bully he once feared. Gwen, who possesses psychic abilities that helped her find her brother in the first movie, is now ostracized at school and labeled a witch. She’s also plagued by new, disturbing dreams. These dreams reveal her mother, Hope (Anna Lore), as a young girl in 1958 making a mysterious phone call near Alpine Lake, a Christian youth winter camp. In 1982, dream-Gwen answers the call.
So, as you can probably guess, some characters or builds are just way more powerful than others, no matter how you like to play the game. It’s just a fact that certain options are stronger, period.
Meghan Morgan Juinio, a former leader at Sony Santa Monica Studio and producer on the 2018 God of War game, recently voiced concerns about the direction of the gaming industry after the pandemic. Speaking at Gamescom Asia, she noted the recent wave of layoffs and studio closures. While big publishers may continue to focus on massive franchises like Call of Duty, she believes there’s a growing opportunity for smaller, independent games. Players are increasingly looking for experiences that aren’t defined by huge budgets, endless playtime, and overly complicated development – something AA and indie titles can deliver.

Whether to use controllers for first-person shooter games on PC is a hotly debated topic.
