This Battlefield bundle is strongest for classic campaigns and older multiplayer maps, especially Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 4. Battlefield 1 stands out for single player, while Battlefield 4 gets praise for iconic maps and modes, and Battlefield V and 2042 still draw interest for their larger maps and Portal style throwbacks. The main drawbacks are EA app friction, anti cheat, and reports of dead or bot filled servers in 2042. Battlefield 2142 is also described as long defunct, so the best value here is for players chasing the older entries.
Campaign-focused Battlefield fans who want the strongest single-player entry, because Battlefield 1 is repeatedly called the best single-player option in this list.
Players who want to jump into Battlefield V on PC without launcher hassle, because it can require both Origin and Steam open and may crash with anti-cheat errors.
Yes. Battlefield 2042 includes bots, and they can fill matches when player counts are low. That makes it easier to find games, but it also means some sessions may not be full of human players.
Battlefield 1 is the strongest pick here for single-player. Its campaign uses an episodic World War I format with different stories, and it is repeatedly called the best single-player option in this list.
Yes. The Steam versions open the EA app to launch, so you still need EA's launcher installed. Buying on EA can avoid running two launchers if Steam integration is not important to you.
Battlefield 2142 is effectively defunct for normal online play because Gamespy shut down years ago. A community project called the 2142 Reclamation Project reportedly restores online access, but it is not the standard official experience.
Battlefield 4 is the only title in this list that works on Steam Deck. The other Battlefield games mentioned here are not reported as compatible in the same way.
4, 1 and V are all a no brainer at this price. And I honestly have more fun with 2042 than 6, but the servers are dead and no server browser.
Agreed, here are the hours I've invested. I just restarted playing BF 1 because I don't enjoy the multiplayer FPS games released over the past handful of years.
Battlefield 4: 455 hours
Battlefield 1: 62 hours
Battlefield V: 356 hours
Battlefield 2042: 2 hours. I picked it up cheap last year but only put 2 hours in due to finding empty dead servers like you said.
Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2: I'd guess over 2000+= hours.
Does these Steam versions open up EA app or it just loads into the game?
They open the EA app. EA app has the same exact sales going on, so unless you want steam integration I would suggest just buying on EA so you don't need 2 game launchers open to play.

That's steam only.
Which game are you referring to? Somehow I don't think it's BF 2142.
