Sorry I'm a newbie! I usually don't play games (like never) but my friend talks a lot about the new upcoming Battlefield game so I tried Battlefield V this weekend and I love the big battles So my question is: My PC have Ryzen 5 3600, DDR4 SDRAM, RTX 2060, 1x16 GB is this a good setup for Battlefield 2042 or do I need to upgrade? It works fine on Battlefield V but I don't know anything about computers and I really want the game to run on my PC. And also for a newbie like me which Battlefield game should I play for practice? I really want to dive in to Battlefield 2042 on release it looks amazing

V is a * step child. I'm happy you've joined us though. For a more familiar experience to prepare for 2042, I'd suggest downloading BF4 as the weapon play and vehicles will be better represented.
Cheers and welcome aboard

@Rhymst You do not have to apologize for being new. Everyone is at some point...
I sincerely doubt you will need to upgrade. Battlefield games have always been great at supporting a wide variety of hardware combinations.
As for practice, I would suggest Battlefield 4 during this short interim period we have right now. BF2042 seems to be pretty similar to BF4, not only in terms of setting, but gameplay as well so far. You could try out the EA Play subscription and I am pretty sure BF4 comes with it for $15 a month... or you could try Newegg. Pretty sure they have a sale for BF4 going until tonight

Hi Noobie
We were all noobs at one time, so, no worries.
I don't think you're fears have been dealt with, when it comes to 'IF YOUR MACHINE WILL RUN IT'...
Yes, it should, but as to what level of graphics, at the moment that is ANYONE outside of the DEVS and EA's guess.
The Ryzen won't be a problem
You have enough RAM. 16GB, I expect, might be the norm in the next 3-5 years, but at the moment, it should be more than enough.
The RTX 2060, which should handle NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) nicely.
Unless this is you in the video , this player has nealry the same set-up as yours and showing DLSS, ON and OFF, on BFV. This might help
Battlefield 5 | RTX 2060 Super + Ryzen 5 3600 | Low vs. Ultra (RTX On/Off) + DLSS | 1080p 1440p
The ONLY suggestion I can make to your current setup, is perhaps an SSD (1TB, 500GB is getting too small now). That said, if the bucks are there, and you can get stock,
I hope this helps you out a bit. It helped my general knowledge

I can't help you as far as PC specs, but as far as games are concerned I would definitely recommend Battlefield 4. The player count is crazy right now and its as close as you can get to the upcoming BF 2042 gane.

Thanks for all the supporting help guys! Great community As many suggested, I played BF4 yesterday but PunkBuster kicked me out! Read that other have the same problem suggesting reinstalling and updating PunkBuster but Im still kicked out! Maybe Im om servers where players have higher level? In that case how do I find noobs to play with? I was never kicked out in BF5. Any suggestions? .. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you on the battlefield in the near future
