🗣️ MainEvent.News | Backstage Take:

EA knows it’s got to win back trust after Battlefield 2042’s rocky launch—and this open beta is its first major shot. Giving players control over class restrictions is a clear nod to fan feedback. But can the gameplay live up to the hype before Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 steals the spotlight in November? We’ll find out soon.
