Destruction Events (Levolution) in Battlefield 2042 

Levolution refers to "level evolution". This encompasses anything, from raising car-barricades to destroying buildings. Levolution does not mean "the tower from Siege of Shanghai", nor does it mean "huge destruction event" in any way. Battlefield 2042 has a tornado that rips up the map. Players can blow up an entire rocket on Orbital. They can rip down huge pieces of a ship on Discarded or send the tower/signs tumbling down in Kaleidoscope. This is all happening on 128 player maps, bigger than anything we've seen in recent games. This is the same as Battlefield 4, even if it's not the one-single-event from the one-single-map, it is the same concept and execution. Please stop leaving comments about this "disappointment". We've heard enough here, thanks.

It's sad that the destruction in this game was so sub-par compared to BF4

I wonder if the reason they are not doing it is because of the server already getting stressed from 124 players. A falling tower would make everything buggy. I still hope they make the skyscrapers falls.

This is honestly sad it’s like as if dice don’t have that ambition they had coming up with Bf4

Playing BF1 where EVERY building could be destroyed, 2042 is just a shame

well, I would still play the game, but it's just not good enough.

Imagine how cool it would be on Kaleidoscope if you could take down like all 3 skyscrapers and the city was filled up with more stuff. Would be one of the coolest bf maps ever :\

Bf4 - *ENTIRE skyscraper collapses* EA - "Yea but have you seen the glorified explosive windows in 2042?!" Bf4- "but does the building fall after?" EA - "........ HEY! Have you seen the sign fall off the building yet?! Preeeetty cool huh???!!"

Bf4 had the best levolutions to all battlefields change my mind

What about the rocket?

The one on Hourglass looks terrible. First off the scripted explosions on the side of the building are the exact same, lazy copy and paste. Secondly there's no way a display would explode like that if it was shot at. Maybe at most a fire would break out.

Where is the real levolution such as massive buildings going down? It's 2021 and all we got are just explosion effects. So big fat F you DICE&EA.

thats it?...in BF4, the whole building comes down

Discarded is the only one that changes the level.

What a downgrade from bf4

The problem with all these events is that they have to happen under some very specific circumstances they really needed to be placed on objectives then some random places players don’t really fight in.

Not the best destruction, but not the worst either imo. I mostly like the weather effects more than anything

The antenna on kaleidoscope doesn't even exist on last gen

battefield 4: destruction of a building, which adds a new location to move and changes the map battefield 2042: a crane or building sign breaks down on a map where there are 100+ of the same skyscrapers

it's just... basic. Screen shaking make it feels wow, but nah.

I don't like that theres no massive destruction event but its still cool anyways. I like it

Delevolution… this really is super disappointing

This guy trying to get clips of destruction The whole lobby: not on my watch

LMAO I can’t 2:08 that guy is def mad

A good “excuse” for the skyscrapers not falling like in bf4 is because those were probably made in mind of the mega storms of 2042 and needed to be able to with stand them making them immune to the effects of war some what I’m the process. Or, they were lazy.

That’s it ? What a joke

The breakway oil tanks are actually very cool!

im sure they could've done better in terms of levolution nowadays, the fact I can't even blow a chunk off a skyscraper is just so disappointing.

Such a disappointment, Battlefield destruction peaked in 2013.

I just feel they could be bigger

Man people in the conversation will do anything just to put 8 on this game just wait six or seven years it'll be praised

It's weird that a South Korean building is a fortress compared to a building in Shanghai

it's horrid sad and a disgrace this games levolution

I kinda hoped you could make the big base in breakaway sink in the ice

The explosions are on point

Remember when dice said they won’t be adding battle royal because too many games have copied it, so they are gonna beef up the battle royal and set an example for every other company, and all we got was hard point or whatever it is that no one plays? And speaking of copying, that double tap sprint? The specialists? There more, but who’s that copying? The cliche “I’m a powerful woman” “it’s ok, maybe next time” cliche dialogue?

Problem with those storms is they show up way to little in multiplayer.

They're still adding to the game so we can hope to see more destructive events!

People in BF4: Stop destroying the towers it will ruin the game 😭 People in BF 2042: Why they are no building falling 😭 Note:Stop hating this game,if the building can fall it gonna broke the game and will become laggy

You forgot the best one Orbital

I guess battlefield 4 is still the game too go too for prominent combat altering environments.

These are incredible. Considering the maps are so huge and the servers are 128 this is truly incredible. People are like "In BF4 the whole skyscraper will fall"... Yeah but what does that do? It gets repetitive after 10 times and also makes the map worse. Great video!

BF4 worst levelution is better then all of these combined.

People confuse levoloution with interactions. BF4 had many interactions that are not necessarily levolution, like opening the gate on Hanger 21 or Caspian boarder, or the detonating the explosives on Golmud railway. Levolution is level evolution, meaning the map is permanently or temporarily changed. Like the tower on siege of shanghai or the storm on paracel storm or even the gate on sunken dragon which is not a permanent levolution.

The levelution sucks in BF4 almost everything you were able to destroy buildings bridges towers even the landscape would get huge craters in it. This just has little things. You shot a building enough in BF4 the building would completely come down and that was like that with almost every building

so..even with that, this game is poor? :/

I expected more

This game is EXTREMELY underrated. I personally enjoy the game and its experience. The destruction may NOT be bf4 or 1 but at least we got destruction as the devs easily could've gave us NO destruction.

It's not Seige of Shanghai but these are pretty cool for what they are

The oil tanks in Breakaway is such a let down. Why blow up only one oil tank per explosion? If the devs made it where if you blow up one and the others simultaneously (with 1-3 sec delay) blow up as well, it wouldn't beat BF4 but it still would've been great.

Honestly, even though its no where near battlefield 4's levelutions in terms of pure destruction and map changing effects, its still WAAAAAAY better than anything we got in the last two battlefields

I am sad from this...

Although i don't hate bf 2042. Levolution here sucks!!!!!2!1

Bro where do you put the c5 on the sign one pls tell me

This is the worst levolution I've ever seen. It’s absolutely downgrade

Thing's that kinda logically.. Battlefield 2042 Features Debris and small destruction details.. there's some destructible thing that will last forever on the map ( even for the smallest one ) On Battlefield 4.. the debris won't last forever to keep stabilize the server from being lagged bcuz of the massive amount of these small debris.. Lot of destruction on Battlefield 4.. the things that are totally observable is on Shanghai Siege map.. that featured the Collapsing Skyscraper.. but the thing is.. most of the small destruction details on the map are will be quickly gone after being destroyed.. So yea.. Levolution is still possible on the Next-Gen Battlefield.. but yea.. we've already know that it won't be featured in this battlefield It's just need more stronger specs to do it.. ( prolly the next gen console & PC can handle it )

BF Bad Company 2 was much better then this Bullshit!

Man, it's so underwhelming. Such a shame.

The levolution looks awesome, BESIDES the explosion on that one map, and the rocket falling down on the other map, there really aren’t much levolution affecting gameplay. And on some of the levolutions, I think the sound is a bit exaggerated. But, I still think levolution is awesome, no matter how much it affects the gameplay. As long as it looks cool, it’s fine for me IMO.

I’d say 2042 has just enough destruction.

We wouldn't mind the rooftop objectives if we can blow down the building but that's to much work for the programmers and what happen to. Blowing up the rocket in the map orbital?

"weeoooooooowwwwww......leeeevoluuuuussssions... yeeeeeeeee..." -Martincitopants

Bf 2042:they are in the building,go in there and bring them down. BF4:they are in the building, *BRING IT DOWN* .

BF4: you can destroy a skyscraper 2042: you can destroy a antenna tower on the top of a skyscraper

Nothing compared to BF 3 and 4 where entire building and a skyscraper comes down changing the map itself lol…I really hope they can make that into the next game with this magnitude of players in 1 lobby…like map changing events which can be triggered by the warfare on the game map..like large building destruction or derailing a long train so part of the battlefield is just a train pileup lol…or that awesome BF5 building mechanics to create foxholes and sandbag cover and antitank roadblocks…imagine that it would be the perfect BF game with all those elements

though the oil tanks on breakaway do hit hard eh

I can't believe dice showed off their new engine with destruction and ai system before 2042 came out and this is what they came up with a unfinished mess of a game

Bf4 has better levolutions just how could the devs not get some big levolutions to at least not be worse than bf4 just like bf5 geez

Well...that's disappointing

booooooo!! Implement BF4 tower crumble.

theres something wrong with the way your hands/gun look in first person. everything about this game looks unpleasant it's just weird how much worse it looks than all previous battlefields

0:48

How do you activate the tower levolution on kaleidoscope it won’t allow me to the tower it’s a no zone do I have to play a game mode for that or what

I just put 6 c5 on the signs on kaleidoscope and the signs didn’t break off 😒😒😒

This isn't levolution! All they had to do was build upon what had come previously with BF4, but they went for some other rubbish and failed hard.

I miss when we brought entire buildings/skyscrapers down

Sad how bf4 is still better than this🤦🏻‍♂️

That no more a battlefield

Tbh it is not that bad, but it's definetely not game changing. I'm sure they'll work on it.

Battlefield 4 *Hold my beer, Imma take down this building*

I’m still angry that they removed the point on top of the kolidescope buildings…

Ok, now im disappointed

Wait... you didn't mention the rocket in orbital.

Dice/ea/RippleEffect Neglected this huge potential , battlefield could be the vest game for severals years if they had took enough time to make it perfect and as we want it to be

Battlefield 4 was probably the best my fav levolutio events are.the boat crash falling hotel and the Shanghai whatever tower those are insane

In witch mode can you destroy the broadcast tower and how? Pls

I want to be able to access every floor of the skyscraper. I want to helicopter to be able to topple the skyscraper across the map.

thats sad man

Jesus. Can’t believe there’s no levolutuon on the scale of siege of Shanghai

so terrible

so lame

Mediocre

all lame

2:07 lol

Lame

that's not even come closer to BF4 shingai tower fallen

aint no way they called a ship hull a levolution

battlefield 4 was the best bf made

Holy shit everyone forgot orbital

That it? Just that?
