Based on all these testimonials, DICE and Electronic Arts have introduced a good amount of changes in the final game. Now, a new publication on the official page reveals all these changes in detail.

The first point of publication is the presentation of the 5 new operators. Despite complaints from many fans, DICE has indicated that operators are here to stay.

Here is a summary of the most important changes: Increase the number of tanks you will experience in Orbital from 4 to 8 on PC, Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5, It has been improved movement, allowing for example jumping over moving objects, and the indicator of a nearby grenade is added, which was not in Beta.
