Sep 10, 2023EA Games - challenge everything... Sometimes I feel like this company has the Midas touch, but rather than turn every company into gold they ruin them

Aug 30, 2023I created this account just to give 2042 a zero. Dice is the laughing stock of the industry and 2042 was born from their obese employees playing too much warzone. I bought this game day 1 and 2 years later I am still waiting for my refund, the game is fundamentally BROKEN with zero redeeming qualities. Please do not ever buy another EA or DICE product again.
-
Aug 27, 2023Yes, compared to ALL other Battlefields, 2042 is the worst Battlefield in history!
Even in 2023 it feels like a beta.
I will never buy a Battlefield game again in my life unless they manage to release a decent Battlefield twice in a row. -

Jul 18, 2023The worst FPS game I ever played. Gunplay is terrible, maps are terrible, sound is garbage, hitreg is terrible, weapons customization is terrible, classes are terrible. All f*****g game is TERRIBLE.
Edit : In July 2023 gunplay is better and some technical problems are solved but game still is not very good and it is lacking off content. -
Jul 15, 2023After a year and a half of updates, I can say that the game, while somewhat lacking in content, is playable and has its moments. However, being playable is not worth $60, especially since predecessors in the series play better.
-
Jul 14, 2023Full of cheaters with hacks like aim bot or whatever they use, u can maybe think this guy is just crying because he has no hands, man, i spend some hours i btf 3,4,hardline and also 1, this game like btf V is just garbage, EA doenst want to do anything ,they deserve nothing.

Jul 6, 2023This Game is so incredibly **** designed. There isnt a single aspect of this game that is fun except for if you like being a **** **** camping in one corner or sitting on a hill sniping one player every two minutes or so. Its a huge piece of incompetence and the playerbase makes me lose every bit of hope i had in humankind
-
Jul 5, 20230-30; not fun
EA play from Steam is a crap
no balance; not novice friendly; do not like to play with 64 randoms
Techically good optimization, but if you wait 6 mins to load (18 core CPU + 128GB ram)
Need level to play with all weapons. Imagine Dota 2 you need to play for a week to unlock skills -
Jun 26, 2023Jogo ruim
Vários bugs
Problemas de balanceamento Faltam de servidores Modo normal (balanceamento do jogo é uma merda)
***joguem Battlefield 4 que muito melhor que essa porcaria. -
Jun 20, 2023The worst Battlefield game ever created and one of the worst games i have ever played in my life.

Jun 10, 2023All maps are worstotally **** The maps are terrible, the weapons are terrible, they said they will fix the gameplay but they ruined everything. The players is loser, they just play by camping. You can be very nervous and it will harm your health, so stay away from this game.e than each other, they made the gameplay messy with the new update.

May 30, 2023The decisions going into Battlefield 2042 are completely baffling. The game released in the most broken state imaginable, and now as of 2023 has only just reached the state it should have been in on release, at least. No hope for this game and barely any hope for the next Battlefield that they are supposedly cobbling together at EA.
-
May 19, 2023Absolute Garbage.
F*** you, EA!

May 6, 2023애미뒤진새끼랑 분대를 해야 되는 미친 게임
신고는 무용지물이다
참지 못하고 내가 트롤이 되기로 했다
EA는 사실 유저들이 다 트롤이 되는 걸 원하는 회사일지도? -
Feb 2, 2023Another devteam ruined by EA. A group of talented developers who made BF1 and BF4 making this disaster is baffling. BF2042 has gotten better over time thanks to the numerous patches and I have to admit that the gameplay is pretty fun now but it's still no where near BF1 and BF4 and it is absolutely not worth the price.
-

Apr 3, 2023Absolutely a disaster and a waste of money. Do not buy this crap game. It's disappointing on ever level. The only good thing I have to say is some of the sound effects are pretty cool.

Mar 16, 2023Pile of trash please people don't support greedy companys like EA anymore as this **** is bad for gaming as a whole!
-
Feb 18, 2023EA, go work on Titanfall 3 instead of recycling garbage. It's now been 7 years since we are waiting.
-
Feb 15, 2023i just buy gamepass and download bf 2042 but this game is not launching ever never. just easy anticheat coming up then nothing happens
-
Feb 11, 2023Yet another garbage FPS from worst company in gaming. F**k EA. No I don’t care that game is „better, now after updates”. Releasing **** unfinished, broken, undercooked and buggy product is something I will never be okay with. F**k EA and Dice.
-
Feb 9, 2023109€ down the **** drain. THE most dissapointing title I have ever experienced.

-
Dec 2, 2022..............................I don't like it..............................
-
Nov 26, 2022I downloaded it on EAplay and my controller bindings don't even do what they should be doing. Game looks completely broken for controllers on pc? not really sure what's going on but if i cant even navigate your **** menu its a 0 from me dawgs. when i did load in the game looked like complete crap.
-
Nov 25, 2022Why is the game online only? I was really looking forward to playing an epic campaign. Couldn't afford to pay some voice actors?
-
Nov 18, 2021Only giving it a 2 because I'm still trying to like it, but it's so bad.... like I literally re-download bf4 so I could play a good battlefield game again. Changing the 2 to a 1 mid review because I'm just so severely disappointed with everything from game play to maps and graphics. They took everything away.
Couple months later update, game still sucks. -
Nov 22, 2022Wildly broken and predictable. I would not recommend playing this game at all.
-
Nov 19, 2022Parabéns para EA parabéns para estúdio porco Parabéns para todos envolvidos desse lixo mais conhecido como chorume da saga Battlefield. Essa empresa porca conseguiu estragar. parabéns parabéns

Oct 21, 2022I've already lost all hope for this game, it's very bugged, the games seem very repetitive, let's not even talk about matchmaking which is almost non-existent.
-

Oct 11, 2022Mix and match hot mess. Only the name is battlefield gameplay is terrible bugs and glitches. It's like usual battlefields clone done by indie Devs. certainly not and AAA game
-
Sep 15, 2022the worst game in battlefield series:a lot of bugs,bad optimization and garbage maps.But the worst its a little green man
-
Sep 5, 2022Budget got blasted on marketing and stupid hero like classes, and after one year the game still plays and looks like the beta.
-
Sep 4, 2022this is not battlefield, they took away all the essence, destroying a franchise for greed, they will bitterly regret it.
-
Sep 3, 2022When they announced this game they called this "a love letter to the fans of the series".
In reality this is the worst battlefield made YET, and I'd like to point out yet because the quality of the series has only been going downhill since BF4.
This is what happens when you do diversity hire and let an ideology take over your business. -
Aug 30, 2022The updates have made this game slightly better, but it still lacks content that other games had before.
It still should be a free to play entry. -
Aug 27, 2022Jogo mal renderizado, muitos bugs, quedas de quadros, servidor problemático, sem status, mapas ridículos. Poderia ficar horas comentando tudo o que há de ruim nesse jogo, agora posso dizer aos meus amigos que nada de tão ruim que não possa piorar com a EA.
-
Nov 19, 2021An absolute travesty of a game. Graphics look good, but this game plays like a half baked Chinese mobile knock off. This should be the death of the battlefield series, if you can even call it a battlefield game.
-

Aug 20, 2022This game is one big garbage which just shows an issue with PAID reviews by magazines:X how this could get even 68%?? Bad compatibility, boring, limited options, etc. No worth even 5 bugs:X

Aug 6, 2022What a terrible game. Do not buy this game at full price because it's definitely not worth it. Poor performance and terrible maps. The game just isn't good. Not to mention, after one year, season one finally comes out with a lackluster battle pass and an additional two weapons. After one year, we get two weapons. Really?

Jul 14, 2022Ghost and Criterion, two developers that never handled a shooter game, had to try to (and fail to) salvage this title because DICE is a very incompetent studio.
We lost a potentially amazing Need for Speed for this pile of crap. -

Jul 3, 2022Look at the trailer and then look at a game. This is purely a SCAM. People should file law suit to DICE and EA. It is totally a deceiving act. I pray that God will punish those who are so greedy that make the world more wicked.

Jul 2, 2022As many people, I created this account just because of this game. I love Battlefield, I have known this series since Battlefield 2 but this, this is not Battlefield, this game should be free.
-
Jun 24, 2022I'll put about as much effort into my review, as the devs put into this game.
-
Jun 23, 2022EA are a bunch of wankers. This product is full of bugs, performance issues, missing features. All they had to do is keep the core gameplay from battlefield 3 and 4 and update the graphics. Even the sound sucks which is so wrong for a battlefield game. When its out of early access and on sale maybe it would be worth.
-
Jun 22, 2022Compared to older titles there is so much lacking in this game
The amount of core features missing is absurd

Jun 13, 2022Zero hour is here, servers are back, new begining.. and nothing had changed.
It's worst now. No fun: no destructions, a few vehicules, 128 players not in every mode, no classes, no first map remake and others things..
I try to play a few hours but it's really bad. Worst game ever -
Jun 12, 2022this game is a scam, dont buy this unfinshed and buggy game

Jun 8, 2022Terrible game. The way they hyped the game with the trailers and seeing the actual game is just sad. What's even sadder is that I'm not really surprised. Don't buy the game, it's a waste of your money and time.
-
Jun 7, 2022Season 1 is not even close to 1/10th content of what we got in BF3 ou BF4...
I'm mad, after Command and Conquer we all can say : they killed another loved IP i have no hope for the future...
PLEASE do not buy it, may be just try some old battelfields (3/4/5) they are infinitely better. -
Jun 6, 2022A game that never gets exciting, well played EA. It lacks fun, maps are boring and who cares about the weather? Avoid EA
-
Jun 6, 2022Almost 7 months after release. Still broken and cringe. Still lacking "legacy features". Still no content updates and barely populated.
It is not worth at any price.Stay away from it. -
Jun 6, 2022Everything that made Battlefield so charming is gone. Maps are empty, the new update dresses up the indoors a bit. Leaders it's time to replay Battlefield 2 2006 and learn what level design for teamplay.
-
Jun 5, 2022If it had a story and wasn't focused on online I think it would be worth buying this game Since multiplayer isn't worth ****
-
Jun 4, 2022Turned from a game I enjoyed to a game that I never want to open again. The lack of updates and a detailed road map give me absolutely no hope for the future of this game.

Jun 1, 2022This game is the most stinky pile of sh*t I've had the displeasure of playing. The devs should be ashamed and EA deserves all the hate it gets. They keep getting away with scamming people, charging 60$ or more for early access and don't care about the consumer's experience .Vote with your money, don't buy this game.
-
May 6, 2022The game has some nice new additions which are overshadowed by the huge amount of negatives BF2042 has,
Buggy, runs poorly, looks ugly, removing a lot of positives that were in the past games, feels like too much of a messy **** and just isn't fun most of the time.
Wait a few months and hopefully then it will be closer to the game we want to play :) -
May 6, 2022This game is pure garbage, a total waste of money. Unplayable, buggy, crashy.
-
May 3, 2022Only good thing is its better then COD Vanguard.
But That's like comparing horse crap to dog crap -
Apr 30, 2022It's a Battlefield, without 98% of the Battlefield features.
And after a year there is still no "first season" season pass, which a lot of people payed for.
It's almost a scam, worth no more than 5€

Feb 15, 2022All in all, Battlefield 2042 has been a real labour of love for me. The initial launch was remarkably underbaked, but I can’t deny the enjoyment that comes from firing a rocket launcher into a tornado. This may not be the best FPS multiplayer game available, and there are still plenty of issues that need ironing out, but there are occasionally some thrilling moments that you won’t be able to experience in the likes of Call of Duty or Fortinte. It remains frustrating having to pay full price for a multiplayer game, but if you’re already a fan of the franchise and don’t mind missing out on the campaign, you’ll likely enjoy yourself here. The nostalgic aspect of Portal mode will also draw fans in, and of course, the 4K graphics make it very pretty game, even if it has its cracks.
-
Dec 23, 2021The weakest first-person shooter in the history of DICE. Even, by some miracle, the studio manages to fix the most glaring mistakes and reanimate the abysmal netcode, this game will not become Battlefield at its core.
-
Dec 16, 2021Despite the promising Portal mode, Battlefield 2042, which uses players as a tester, still gives the impression of an incomplete game with its errors and important problems.
