Despite all the flaws of Battlefield 2042 that many have been quick to point out, most players seem to agree that the new Portal mode is excellent. Now, one Battlefield 2042 player has used the feature to remake Squid Game’s most iconic scene.
Battlefield 2042 fans have done a lot of clever things with Portal thus far. While the purpose of the mode is to create custom playlists that mash certain parts of past Battlefield games together, gamers are already pushing the feature to its limits by crafting new game modes. While a training course for Battlefield 2042’s wingsuits is certainly awesome, one new creation could prove even more popular, as it brings Squid Game’s Redlight, Greenlight to the multiplayer-focused FPS.
For those unfamiliar with the massively popular show Squid Game, it is essentially a competition where players risk their lives in deadly versions of children’s games for money to pay off their debts. One such game is Redlight, Greenlight, which sees competitors needing to move when a deadly doll is turned around. If the doll spots them when it is scanning for movement, the players will be gunned down with a Sniper Rifle. While the game is certainly simple, it is not the easiest thing to recreate in Battlefield 2042, especially because Portal is not a proper map editor.
Still, YouTubers and Battlefield 2042 fans Two Angry Gamers TV managed to successfully rebuild this part of Squid Game. While it is not possible to add a giant doll to Battlefield 2042, the players compensated by giving all participants a Sniper Rifle. When the “Red Light” text appears on top of the screen, players need to freeze, or they will be gunned down by their opponents. When the “Green Light” appears, they are free to move around with a knife and get better positioning.
While the Battlefield 2042 video does feature funny moments and raw gameplay of the mode, Two Angry Gamers TV also goes over how it was made. The players created a timer that switches between a Redlight and Greenlight every eight seconds, while gamers would get a different Sniper Rifle with one bullet every single Red phase. With players needing to not miss, and be careful when moving to hit a shot since another player could he watching, the mode is challenging and should be a blast with friends. Those interested in playing Redlight, Greenlight can use the access code AADYBD.
While it remains to be seen if All-Out Warfare is improved and requested features for Battlefield 2042 make their way to the game, Portal could help it thrive for a long time to come. While it would be fun to see other Squid Game recreations like the glass bridge, this Redlight, Greenlight remake will be tough to top.
Battlefield 2042 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
