Battlefield 2042 Update 0.3.3 Patch Notes Today (March 8)
A brand new update for Battlefield 2042 is set to be deployed later today (March 8), bringing the game to version 3.3 with some important changes and fixes.
Battlefield 2042 will, unfortunately, go down as one of the biggest dissapointments in gaming for 2021, as the massive FPS title currently has a ‘Mostly Negative’ score on Steam with almost 100,000 player reviews.
However, the developers are still commited to listening to the feedback from the community and implementing as many changes as possible. After delaying the release of Season One until Summer 2022, EA said that they are “committed to, and focused on, ensuring Battlefield 2042 lives up to our ambitions and your expectations”.
Today’s update is another step in the right direction for Battlefield 2042 as new scoreboard changes are implemented, courtesy of community feedback. Check out the official March 8 patch notes for Battlefield 2042 to find out exactly what’s new in today’s update.

Battlefield 2042 Update 0.3.3 Patch Notes (March 8)
Below you will find the official patch notes for the latest Battlefield 2042 update, which will be deployed at 9AM UTC on Tuesday, March 8:
Scoreboard
Back in January we revealed our plans for a Scoreboard UI refresh based on community input. Through your feedback, it was clear that more work and time was required to ensure that the first iteration of the refreshed Scoreboard lined up with your expectations. We’ve since collected and listened to your feedback and are now ready to deploy this refresh alongside this update.

Match Overview has been improved and placed on the left of the screen; this still retains information about the match, objective progression and ticket counters as well as personal stats such as Kills, Assists and Deaths, alongside your current in-game ping.
The Scoreboard now features a team vs team split look for certain team-based modes such as Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush and Team Deathmatch, alongside the inclusion of the deaths stat to the Scoreboard.
While these changes were two of your most-requested missing pieces, this is the first version of the Scoreboard, and further improvements will be made to this in subsequent updates, based upon your continued feedback such as the Scoreboard being available during the End of Round screens.
