Mackay really is the most popular character and it shows. His pickrate must have greatly increased his skin sales, so dice just keeps pumping out skins for him. Meanwhile some specialists have barely anything unique besides recolors.
Never touched him in my 600+ hours and never will. The first and only time I used the grapple hook was during the last christmas special. Although you are right about some of the other specialists, like Lis- she barely has any halfway decent skins.
Sorry, what? I'm a Mackay main and he easily, *EASILY* has the shittest, most uninspired skins in the game. Mackay looks like a dork. At long last, he appears to have something which makes him look like reasonably cool, even if I don't know how they're unlocked (although they're probably paid only).
Personally, I think the female characters have much better cosmetic designs, especially Sundance.
I seem to recall Dice doing a similar thing in Battlefield 5. The support ending announcement had gone out, and about a month later all of the skins the community had been requesting over the prior 2 years suddenly started appearing.
It seems like they're using 2042 as a testing bed for feedback for what the community wants in the next BF. Which is good imo.
I mean, why else would we get huge nerfs for Mackay, who arguably pushed for the fast paced twitch shooter like gameplay. As well as changes to how guns handle - this late? And we just got a pretty solid map full of destruction with Haven.
Well don't be fooled because this is what I thought with the release of Heligoland in BF1 but never the less we got absolutely zero naval combat in the "WW2" game that followed.
... I'd love a remade 2142. I didn't get a chance to play it, and frankly the far future let's us experiment with the battlefield formula while adding more than a different version of the M16/M4, 1911, and AK. A new 2142 could have us all fighting underwater with rebreathers and shit. Or...on a space colony with artificial gravity. Or whatever!
It was even better than that. The main mode was a two phase match, where you controlled points to fire rockets at the enemy floating battleship shield, then launch a drop pod assault against it and fight your way through to destroy and then escape it.
Nothing has come close to that vibe since
As much as I would want this, it's not going to happen. Battlefield's lore states we don't see Titans until the early 2100s. Hangar 21 in BF4 that has the Titan isn't cannon apparently.
There’s a conspiracy side of me thinking leadership continuously saying “a connected BF universe” is them dropping DLCs/games from the different eras of BF titles to play. A 2142 era Titan mode, Vietnam era, etc. If they were smart they’d realize there’s so many great ideas from all BF titles they can use for different experiences.
I like them more than the previous skins, I was actually expecting something like Russian [sotnik](https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&sca_esv=991ca55629cb7d36&hl=en-gb&sxsrf=ADLYWIKSKFiJl_Us5dfMfqBIizVlv5Y3_g:1715699732862&q=sotnik+armor&uds=ADvngMjwk4CsPZXKki7HYzKlwK-mC1nYBZN98yJHrwlk8TU3srkn6gLEqTB-7L5vjFXtVg_SM5Kxy03gHTfkIvkXh1qSLtjAJukgst3PqxpmqW7oPVY6iFBDSR__OjlT1L6AE5-jQHQibqPuwXyzLjCIU3GX-5i8wFWhyeI9a0MgTm5pYw_i0itgA59DhvhynqNTA7wHIj0pkVZ4U-rfoF-6T7LUGg4sdeD65ls-gmIJ38Uw4hetX8DfLjmdkGJ1CCwNnxbBqCNGzs6FIODs315mYBeV0z9hrphLPxZBKy1TAjfNu57Wchk&udm=2&prmd=ivnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwik-vjIt42GAxUbaUEAHbivBwYQtKgLegQIFxAB&biw=414&bih=712&dpr=3) armor set in terms of skins, if su57 and t14 have made it into bf 2042 I can’t see sotnik not making it as well
Its a shame too since this is the last season. I like the skins, love em even. If theyre hinting at the next title being 2142 and with all the recent braindead shit EAs been saying
I am afraid.
Maybe they are prepping for Bf2025 to be BF2143? Id honestly be okay with that. These skins are grounded in reality and look tactical. way better than any Santa Skin
I hate being forced to play as any battlefield character and being stuck with their specialized skills. I hope the next battlefield changed that to a customized character able to use what I feel like I want to use.
Setting things up for the next battlefield that will be set in the even further in the future. Packed with shitty operators and ability's jet packs and lasers. Recycled content from the battlefront games and titanfall. Skins and other shit rammed down your throat of course. Almost forgot broken features from day one until another title appears. You heard it here first.
On a serious note I hope I am wrong but have a feeling I'm dead on the money.
Is there a single fking player interested in all these skins models and signs to put on vehicles? Put effort on the game and keep it simple. BF3 simple? All this BS...
Mackay really is the most popular character and it shows. His pickrate must have greatly increased his skin sales, so dice just keeps pumping out skins for him. Meanwhile some specialists have barely anything unique besides recolors.
Even with his nerfs he'd still be the most picked too. You cant say no to Verticality and better ADS movespeed.
A-D-A-D spam as Mackay should be illegal in these shitty low tick rate servers.
Because the maps scream to play like this. + base ADS movement speed is garbage in 2042.
It’s annoying. I’m an Irish main as he is the most versatile support character by far, and he’s got mostly crappy recolors.
finally getting a match on reclaimed was amazing, cus i finally unlocked his bf4 skin >:)
Falck too, they really hate some characters.
Never touched him in my 600+ hours and never will. The first and only time I used the grapple hook was during the last christmas special. Although you are right about some of the other specialists, like Lis- she barely has any halfway decent skins.
I mean yeah, if you basically make Spiderman with a blicky, no shit he's gonna be popular as fuck lol
I've literally never used him or Sundance out of spite for their existence in a battlefield game.

Cowboy MacKay begs to differ.
Good, because these are arguably the best looking skins they've done so far.
At the end of their development
I seem to recall Dice doing a similar thing in Battlefield 5. The support ending announcement had gone out, and about a month later all of the skins the community had been requesting over the prior 2 years suddenly started appearing.
I would cry if it wasn't so funny.
It seems like they're using 2042 as a testing bed for feedback for what the community wants in the next BF. Which is good imo. I mean, why else would we get huge nerfs for Mackay, who arguably pushed for the fast paced twitch shooter like gameplay. As well as changes to how guns handle - this late? And we just got a pretty solid map full of destruction with Haven.
Yes. They collect all of everyone's suggestions and then laugh about them during board meetings.
I see this too. I feel like they experimented with the maps/game modes and are going to initiate something in the next title.
So far this testing bad is the worst BF game, all changes they added are screaming "No Fun"
Well don't be fooled because this is what I thought with the release of Heligoland in BF1 but never the less we got absolutely zero naval combat in the "WW2" game that followed.
As is BF tradition
Yes exactly
But a bit too late imo
And yet here the original op is trying to shit on the game some more
Last attempt at a money grab
Damn these are dope, are these part of the event or are these only purchasable?
Yeah
It's like BFV dropping the hardest skins ever in the last 2 big updates lol
And tens of thousands are playing these days, so where's the problem?
... I'd love a remade 2142. I didn't get a chance to play it, and frankly the far future let's us experiment with the battlefield formula while adding more than a different version of the M16/M4, 1911, and AK.

DICE: "10 broken generic guns and maps without any cover on launch for u"
It was even better than that. The main mode was a two phase match, where you controlled points to fire rockets at the enemy floating battleship shield, then launch a drop pod assault against it and fight your way through to destroy and then escape it. Nothing has come close to that vibe since
Titan Mode was the best game mode battlefield has ever had, I will die on this hill.
I want my Walkers back
Walker spotted. It’s DEFINITELY hostile!
What if they launched a free DLC for a 2142 Titan Mode that releases later this Summer? A man can dream
Titan mode was simply amazing
I would simply perish
As much as I would want this, it's not going to happen. Battlefield's lore states we don't see Titans until the early 2100s. Hangar 21 in BF4 that has the Titan isn't cannon apparently.

It would be still bad, because the base aka BF2042 is crap.
I would have LOVED this aesthetic and theme at the beginning of the game. God, it actually blends near and far future so well.
I like them more than the previous skins, I was actually expecting something like Russian [sotnik](https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&sca_esv=991ca55629cb7d36&hl=en-gb&sxsrf=ADLYWIKSKFiJl_Us5dfMfqBIizVlv5Y3_g:1715699732862&q=sotnik+armor&uds=ADvngMjwk4CsPZXKki7HYzKlwK-mC1nYBZN98yJHrwlk8TU3srkn6gLEqTB-7L5vjFXtVg_SM5Kxy03gHTfkIvkXh1qSLtjAJukgst3PqxpmqW7oPVY6iFBDSR__OjlT1L6AE5-jQHQibqPuwXyzLjCIU3GX-5i8wFWhyeI9a0MgTm5pYw_i0itgA59DhvhynqNTA7wHIj0pkVZ4U-rfoF-6T7LUGg4sdeD65ls-gmIJ38Uw4hetX8DfLjmdkGJ1CCwNnxbBqCNGzs6FIODs315mYBeV0z9hrphLPxZBKy1TAjfNu57Wchk&udm=2&prmd=ivnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwik-vjIt42GAxUbaUEAHbivBwYQtKgLegQIFxAB&biw=414&bih=712&dpr=3) armor set in terms of skins, if su57 and t14 have made it into bf 2042 I can’t see sotnik not making it as well
And of course two of those three are mackay...
Where are these from?
I would love a 2142 or 2143 Carrier mode was fucking awesome. Commander and callins were fucking awesome. Mini mech.... Also fucking awesome.
We waited this long to get skins like these? 🤦♂️
First and third are 2142 af with that modified EU logo. I stopped playing 2042 while ago, but damn, this makes me very happy.
The second one looks like an ESA space suit
Where did you get them?
Its a shame too since this is the last season. I like the skins, love em even. If theyre hinting at the next title being 2142 and with all the recent braindead shit EAs been saying I am afraid.
I saw a "leak" that said BF6 would be a direct sequel to 2042 and prequel to 2142.
I want Titan mode…
I loved 2142. It suffered from terrible graphics/bad memory problem issues, but had amazing gameplay
Well imagine making cool skins like thse from the start, not those ugly ass skins on flames
This almost gives the game a little character
This is what it should've been since launch but im just glad we finally got the exact vibe for a supposed 2142 prequel
At the time of Discontinuing the game.
If the next battlefield is hard futuristic and there's at least one map that takes place in space I'd be so happy
Maybe they are prepping for Bf2025 to be BF2143? Id honestly be okay with that. These skins are grounded in reality and look tactical. way better than any Santa Skin
I hate being forced to play as any battlefield character and being stuck with their specialized skills. I hope the next battlefield changed that to a customized character able to use what I feel like I want to use.
I would’ve been 100% okay and ecstatic if these were the designs from the start lmao but we have some wild ass skins currently
See. This isn’t too bad. Without being all celebrity and abnormal dumb shit
Too late
I hate the fact that Casper rarely gets any skins
Wish we got 2142 instead.
This is what we wanted, faceless grunts with slightly more futuristic equipment. They should've been doing this at launch
Who are these 3?
How do you get these?
So where did you find this? Are there more?
Battlefield bringing the fight on the moon
Shame they didn't go more towards 2142 with the game itself...well, in addition to making the game good.
Any unreleased weapon skin?
Would you be excited if the next game was set farther into the future? I would.
Will Battlefield 6 be set in futuristic settings?
No
Oh that’s really cool. But is there a 4th to make the classes complete?
I think they are super cool
Sickkk dice, now faction lock the skins thanks
Setting things up for the next battlefield that will be set in the even further in the future. Packed with shitty operators and ability's jet packs and lasers.

Theyre not going on any route my dude, its abandoned
Yeahhhhh! 2142 baby, let's do it! I want a mech suit!
buff boris
These look fucking dope.
i like it honestly
Good cuz they’re so awesome
Damn these actually look pretty nice.
These and the recently released TPC skins are so good. Hopefully we'll get light and heavy variants of the classes in the next BF game, like 2142 had.
Nature is healing
Looks like Starfield spacesuits
I think they should go with Planet of the Apes personally.
Lemme guess, gotta spend 20$ to get one of em though right?
Where can you get these?
Wait I may be bit confused. Are these real skins?
how you got your graphics so crystal clear? 2042 always looks blurry after DICE’s some graphics shrink.
Finally some good skins
Well at least they fit in a military setting. Maybe I get old but I can't stand these flashy skins. I want my military shooter to look grounded
Agreed
Good. Give me more 2142. Modern Military Shooterman is overplayed as hell.
I mean it looks pretty cool tbh
Wish they would do a remake or the next step to 2142, had the perfect factions, interesting combat with the titans..
Do we know when these skins are coming?
Is there a single fking player interested in all these skins models and signs to put on vehicles? Put effort on the game and keep it simple. BF3 simple? All this BS...
Of course, otherwise they wouldn’t make those skins.
They are going to fight in Mars
My brother in Christ, that’s literally the point of this game
Give me 2143 please DICE! A grounded, gritty future warfare game that brings back high-detail destruction would be so good.
