    Like if Battlefield was a Steam early access game but with a huge player base and a high price tag. It’s missing a full half of what makes the game FEEL like Battlefield. It still manages to be a bit of fun, and the huge player count in matches is cool as hell, but overall it’s a steaming pile of “meh.” Makes me want to reinstall BF1. If it worked perfectly, it would be a 3 star game. AsLike if Battlefield was a Steam early access game but with a huge player base and a high price tag.

    What is it? Battlefield? It neither looks nor feels it. OK, they want to do something new, but were they candid or transparent about such major changes? No. However, given a lot more time it could become something special, like Mass Effect Andromeda a year after release was so much better.

    The game has potential but was definitely rushed. There are numerous bugs and there isn't any optimization. Save your money and wait a year.

    The game is fun, but it needs like 6 months to a year of more polish and updates to give it the standard experience. So many features missing and bugs experienced by everyone do not add any fun to the experience. Please fix this game EA!

    And since both teams share the same specialists well you end up seeing clones of yourself and teammates left and right. It's really bad.

    Lots of basic features missing like a scoreboard, squad voice chat, being able to switch squad/team, being able to tell downed teammates that you're coming to rez them. Weapon customization is barebones, BF4 was way better in that regard. And a crap ton more but you get the gist, they rushed the game and didn't learn anything from previous games.

    All that being said I'm still somewhat having fun when things go well, there's definitely something there but the game should've been delayed at least another 6 months. Don't buy it right now, wait at least a few months, but I don't really expect them to pull another BF4 where the game ends up being great after a bunch of updates. They abandoned BFV after only a year because it didn't sell well so that's not reassuring.    … Expand

    Gunplay feels wonky as well, the M5A3 jumps straight up in the air after the second shot like someone is trying to wrestle it out of your hands. The whole thing is just really bad and really disappointing after the trailer. Oh, good luck getting frames over 70, regardless of rig. Vehicles are so scarce, if you don't get one at beginning of round, you'll wait around at the spawn screen hoping you can get 1 of the tanks throughout the game, completely frustrated. This was released way too early and it will take months to have a properly functioning Battlefield. Shame on you for releasing in this state.

    The bugs are bad. Really bad, to the point that even if they all get fixed, this launch needs to factor into the score. But even without the bugs, I'll be REALLY surprised if I'm still being pulled to play this in a few weeks. Customization feels empty. Certain guns have glaring issues with aiming and bloom so you're railroaded into an even smaller selection if you want good results in gameplay. Frustrating lack of small and scattered vehicles means conquest railroads you into an even smaller selection of specialists in case you get stranded and need more mobility. Portal takes older more successful games, and slathers them in pretty visuals, but problematic design in gunplay and audio, and no progression so you're mostly running on nostalgia, which is smothered by, well, yeah, the new game mechanics.

    It has its moments. but 2 good moments for every 3 bad moments is a pretty accurate ratio, if not a little generous. Hope the issues get fixed so it can be passable, but even then, down the road, it'll be remembered as much and as confused as hardline. A weird experiment that ultimately fails.    … Expand

    A depressing "Return to Form."

    If this is the direction EA/DICE wants to take with their new games, they probably should have created a new IP for it.

I'm all for experimenting with gameplay elements, but if you slap the Battlefield name on the product, you should probably make sure the game plays like and builds off of previous titles in the series.

    Playing this game is a test of your patience. It's difficult to forget all the positive gameplay additions and features from past games that have just been discarded in this entry.

    Why does the movement feel floaty? DICE created amazing movement systems in both Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V.

    Why can't you create/change squads mid match? This has been present in all recent entries up to this point. I doubt DICE ever got player feedback that having the freedom to pick their squads in a game was a negative feature.

    Why remove the class system? Did players lament that having clear roles to promote teamwork was frustrating?

    Why remove the server browser? Did players despise being able to pick the maps they wanted to play with servers that had decent connection speeds? I really don't think so.

    It's just baffling how many beloved and popular gameplay systems and elements were removed in this title. It's even more confusing when EA/DICE promotes this game as a "love-letter" to fans.

    A main selling point of this game was the fact that servers can now have up to 128 players. Now, this sounds cool in practice: more players means more Battlefield fun, right? The thing is, after coming from previous titles, I really don't see a difference here in the battles that play out. I remember playing on the Arctic map with a friend recently when I was asked the question "Does this feel like there's 128 people playing with us right now?"

    It didn't.

    It felt the same as before. What WAS noticeable was the performance issues that were no doubt present due to the increased player count.

    The reason for this game existing in this state is just really odd when you think about it. Battlefield fans are pretty vocal about what they like in a Battlefield game; it really shouldn't have been hard for EA/DICE to deliver a real fan-favorite game here. Instead, it seems like another case of trend-chasing lead by upper management.

    If you want to make a good Battlefield game, take what people like about Battlefield and refine it. It really should be just that simple.    … Expand

The Battlefield franchise is going through a serious mid life crisis with this one. Such a shame because they always had the ‘cool guys’ approach to FPS’s. But with this new game, all the traits of a good Battlefield experience have been lost.

    Too many standard features are missing, the game is nowhere near finished in terms of gameplay and it’s aesthetic glitches galore.

    The concept is great, but the execution is lacking in all areas. It’s not competitive because progression purely around unlocking guns. Even winning a match basically means nothing.

    There’s no team focus anymore because you can’t rely on anyone in your squad. Past Battlefields used the class system to balance the fact you may not be talking with anyone in your squad, you certainly depend on them. No, free for all.

    Because there’s no squad focus, you’re left traversing massive maps on your own, no incentive to mob up with a squad.

    The gunplay is inconsistent, guns used to feel powerful, and balances to a class, now, guns that have the same stats (literally) the same, feel vastly different. The sound design has flourishes of what we’ve come to expect. But for a 2021 game, it’s a massive step back. All the weapons have this low bass tone.

    The UI is one of the biggest let downs. All the tried and tested elements from previous games are gone. They’ve remastered it from the group up, problem is, they’ve not done a good job. The colour choice create accessibility problem, the control mapping is all off and lack of features you need to have a clear idea of focus and progression. Gone.

    _

    All they had to do was remaster BF4 with all the things they learnt on BF1 and 5 and package it up with the new No Pat lore, big maps and it would have been the best BF game ever.

    They tried something new and it’s opened up cracks I don’t think Dice or EA have the capability to close.    … Expand

    Battlefield 2042 is a game with potential, but that's just it. There are very big issues in its current state which is why I think the game definitely needs more time to fix.

    So what are some of the game's biggest issues? First, optimization for PC is bad. There are many moments where I would get massive FPS drops downwards to -48FPS in 1440p. I've lowered the settings to low, but even    Battlefield 2042 is a game with potential, but that's just it. There are very big issues in its current state which is why I think the game definitely needs more time to fix.

    So what are some of the game's biggest issues? First, optimization for PC is bad. There are many moments where I would get massive FPS drops downwards to -48FPS in 1440p. I've lowered the settings to low, but even then it still wasn't enough. The game is very CPU bound and unfortunately does not utilize it properly.

    Second, there are gameplay decisions that are questionable. Of course, I'm talking about the Specialists which replaces the classic Battlefield classes that many fans and veterans are used to. Unfortunately outside of Hazard Zone, it does not work. Specialists essentially promotes a more lone-wolf playstyle in Conquest or Breakthrough contributing to a more selfish playstyle. I would argue it severely underhanded a lot of the teamwork elements that Battlefield was known for.

    Third, the base game lacks content. Outside of Portal mode, vanilla BF2042 only has a few selection of weapons and customization. There are a total of 22 weapons currently. While I have no doubt that more weapons will get added over time, I just wished we would have more selection and variety right from the start. Hazard Zone is also VERY lackluster at the moment, there are very serious balancing issues within the game mode. However, I think Hazard Zone can be salvaged with a series of balancing passes and content updates to add more depth to the game mode.

    Fourth, the menus and UI is atrocious. Navigating the menus is very clunky and at times frustrating to use. There is too much clicking I need to do just to customize my weapons.

    Fifth, the game is missing features from previous Battlefield games. There is no stat tracking page which means no scoreboard or leaderboard systems. Mechanics from previous games are also missing such as the movement system from BFV (i.e. rolling, grabbing high ledges, etc). Also the removal of All Chat is just unnecessary.

    With all this being said, I truly believe that a person CAN have fun playing this game. Yes, the game has major issues. YES, the game has bugs. Does the game deserve a score equal to that of Ride to Hell Retribution with 0-2 scores? No I don't think so, because there is potential for the game to be good. For example, Portal mode is where I spent the majority of hours into and it is incredibly amazing reliving the classic Battlefield moments. If DICE ever decides to fix many of the core issues of the game such as removing the Specialists (which I don't think they will) or reworking the Specialists to fit more into their designated class roles as well as fixing bugs and adding content. I believe the game CAN get better over time. I only wish that DICE would get things right from the beginning. It's clear the game needed more time in development.

    In conclusion, would I recommend someone to buy Battlefield 2042 now? Hell No.
    I think it is better to just wait and see if the game does indeed get better in the future. Only until then, can they make an informed decision as to whether to buy the game.    … Expand

Everything else is in place, just the stupid skins missing.

    it pains me to score it this low

    i know stuff will be fixed but this game is not ready to launch at all
    - constant bugs and glitches even though better then the beta make the game unplayable at time

    -inconsistent frame rates even with 3090s and 2080 it GPUs

    -lack of a consistent time to kill, some times and enemy will take 8-10 shots some times 4-5 not to mention the inconstancy in how damage received is felt, some time you die instantly other time you get shot 4-8 times and wonder how your not dead

    -lack of enough vehicles, the maps are so huge the fights so far away that these are the only way to have fun most of the time, instead you are getting shot running to A1 through miles no mans land

    -you have no idea who gives out or can do what do to specialists

    -said specialists look the same on both teams
    {i know they added tiny red lights but it doesn't fix the issue)

    -cannot host severs if you make one and leave is goes away

    -no server browser for AoW the freaking primary mode taking away player choice

    -and i'll repeat my self once again about specialists: NO CLASSES- why? why take away what makes battlefield different?

    -no scoreboard
    (people say its a big deal but i don't think so, it is inconvenient to not know my k/d though lol)

    etc.

    i could go on but we'd be here forever
    plus i don't want to bash a game i want to like

    for example portal is great! amazing even!

    the community could make really cool things with it and the remaster game modes are icing on top!

    but that's also a weakness

    for 1 it's all stuff we have played before, and there is only a fraction of those old games content (2 maps per game and about 15-20 weps per game)

    for 2 it's all stuff we have to make for the game we paid for for free to have fun in the first place (we are not DICE devs, nor are we getting payed to finish their game!)

    1. No content: small list of weapons, 22 primaries, 3 sidearms, only 2 launchers. Both feel like abilities, not stand alone polished weapons 2. Pathetic customization: ~10 skins for every weapon, only 4 slots for attachments, some of them have similar stats, ~customization of vehicles is EQUAL to the 8 y.o. game and EVEN WORSE, for example, there is no    "We ArE aHeAd Of ScHeDuLe" - DICE

    3. Poor performance on high-end PCs: my rig is 5800x and 6900xt 16gb of b-die ram and I'm getting 70-110fps on medium with huge drops)
    4. Specialists gadgets don't contribute to teamplay, just takes the slot, thats' why being an engineer means you can carry additionally only a torch or landmine or launcher. Also the design and voice lines of specialists are cringy.
    5. Absolutely disgusting UI/UX (really counter-intuitive management of customization, weapon tuning etc althought overall visual style is practical and minimalistic), unusable commo-rose, which fire mode am I using? Why Sundance's grenade is shown like the incoming flak rocket, although it damages 70% less. Why do I cant make objective markers and other UI elements more transparent?
    6. All the problems they had in bfV are repeated: tearing camera, collisions, disproportion inside buildings, insensibility of weapon impact, what's wrong with c4/c5/dynamite throwing in every bf game? Meanwhile they managed to lose all good things: smart UI, variety of vehicles, vehicles tuning, towing, classes, destruction, leaning. After every spawn your character inspects a weapon (in comparison in mw19 it inspects only at the begging of the match) that takes some time and if you spawned in front of enemy you dont have time to kill him due to this animation
    7. Lack of competitiveness and balls: no scoreboard, no KD/SPM stat tracking, no chat, no insults, can't switсh team, can't switch squad, can't speak with squadmates even in Haha-zone, no spectator's mode. But you had a lot of time to work on and announce a non-binary character to placate some, huh?
    8. Bloom aka bullet spread. I know DICE is not IW and nobody was waiting the best shooting experince but implementing mechanics from 8-10 y.o. games (that weren't the best idea even back in the days) is a complete misstep. Moreover this random spread is even worse than it was in beta and previous games
    9. Season one is already delayed
    10. Bugs and errors are the least important thing as Im sure they will be fixed someday but still: invisible teamtag (both sides share the same list of specialists, so you can't really distinguish a friendly player w/o it), omitting animations of nade throwing, infinite reinforcement points and impossibility to spawn, to die, to ADS, to revive a teammate that died near the wall, awful hitreg (seems like the bloom was increased form beta to hide this), bugged reload notification, octogonal sun glare on Caspian border, broken fov, broken zooming on snipers and many many more. And Im not talking about kernel things like BSODs, crashes, mouse input lag etc. There are also a lot of things you don't understand are they bugs or features, like this aforementioned bloom or inability to invite the fifth player to party. Accidentally I had noticed the review of this guy https://www.metacritic.com/user/rosstergut and he is surprised that there are no wall running. Well, there is actually a hovercar which is able to climb

    I can clearly see how much work was done by concept designers who were resposible for overall visual style, music, the idea of proxy wars during global ecologic crysis, and I understand what this game could be, how ambitious it was initially, but everything went wrong. I believe, after 6 years of ambiguous installments in questionable settings, this one is the last nail to coffin lid.

    EA/Dice you guys have to start taking actual notes on what people loved from past titles and stop aiming to reinvent the wheel all the time. BF5 movement is far superior for example, the medic distance, the bleed out system, fortifications would of made sense in 2042's wide open maps.

    Portal mode is better and is a blast from the past. But i doubt it will last very long. Very few maps. Even with the custom servers thats sadly not the way of gaming anymore.

    Not what it used to be
    22 guns? 8 maps? 3 game modes? No rush or TDM? They made the maps huge but forgot to give them any cover. 128 players feels like a nice, fancy number, until you realize they didn't consider how that actually effects gameplay.

    It is a game that has mountains of potential, but it still seems a pre-alpha, it is a game that is not ready, it seems to be done reluctantly and in a hurry, it is fun even if it is full of bugs wherever you look, if you want to buy it to have it in case in the future they put patches on everything, but now it is a game with a lot of potential to be a jewel.

    the game had numerous bugs and defects that need fixing. I still believed someday it would change for the better, loved the gameplay of vehicles and in general, for like 4 months I really enjoyed the game even when there was only 1000 or less players online. don't get me wrong I didn't think from the beginning it was worth 60 bucks but I was willing to play it anyway(because I couldn't refund). now here comes the part that I really hate, when this "season one" came I was exited because I knew it would bring lots of players back but the changes to the game were absolutely trash. and here are some for example; the bolte, a vehicle that can be unlocked at some point in the game was one of my personal favorite light vehicle. Dice changed its category for the same as the tank heavy vehicles. now, why tf would I use the bolte if i can just use the tank, its way better obviously, it has more health, more destructive power and more gadgets, and as I expected after the update I didn't see one bolte in the battlefield.
    The second reason, Dice reduced the amount of vehicles in each match and that makes the game pointless and really boring. its supposed to be an all out war action game, with tons of destruction, tanks shooting and jest flying by and bombing the area. now its call of duty game in a big boring map with some lame ass cars with little guns and each team of 64! can choose only one aircraft 2 tanks maybe an helicopter (same category that makes it less useable, and each map the amount of vehicles is a little different but still a really small amount).
    and as a result for like 4 games straight I didn't get to be neither in a tank or a helicopter, sometimes there are carriers that the pilot doesn't even shoot from only the passengers can, and some lame LVs .
    The third reason, why the hell did you guys bring down the most fun mode in this game.. the 64v64 breakthrough mode it was what the game was supposed to be. that was the reason I paid for this game!!! now its some boring 32v32 in a small map with one jeep for each team and maybe one tank. and the season map is boring as hell earthier. this game started ok but was trash because of bugs, it started to get better until you **** it up again and now with more bugs and unstable changes to the gameplay. Dice please, you have the resources already, make this game good, just listen to the ones that are actually playing it. add triple the vehicles in each match do more destructive buildings(idc if it means less players)

Gunplay simply doesn't feel good, the only thing really worth using is the sniper, so that's fun for nobody.

    On top of that you have to large maps which lacks content, an awful UI which makes no sense, the lack of QOL features like a FPS cap, eg. in the menu. Oh right, there is no voice chat, which shows how beta this game still is. Yes you read that right, there is no voice chat in a multiplayer shooter game, which has modes that requires team communication.

    Where is the scoreboard? Why can't you crawl when dead? Why doesn't revive works if a player is to close to an object? Why can't players see when a medic is nearby? Where are the destruction of buildings, like we had in the last 3-4 games? Where are the guns and where are the fun guns? The list goes on of features that are lacking, which were present in earlier BF games. The game is not ready for release, not even close.

    Pretty much the only positive addition is Hazard Zone, which could be fun, specially when you have unlocked a proper loadout, just a shame you have to grind in boring modes to really do that.

    At least we have a fun and great campaign like the earlier... oh wait there is no campaign. But at least it's cheaper, oh wait nope still full price.

How so? Immersion breaking. Every time there's a between match cut-scene, I notice that almost all the character models are women. Now, this would be fine if it were even close to a reflection of reality. But it's not. And to end insult to injury, there's literally a war going on in Europe as I type this where the soldiers that are dying are basically all men. So the people that made this game for some absolutely insane reason made the soldiers nearly all female for reasons that are known only to them. I'm not even close to being a soldier myself, so this doesn't in any way offend me on a personal level.

Remember Medal of Honor? EA basically deleted it after Warfighter's fiasco. I had really high hopes for this game, I've been playing Battlefield since BF3 came out, so it's 10 years now. I really loved 3 and 4 and Hardline to some extent. The problems began with Battlefield V - it was ruined by poor marketing and political correctness, and when one year after it's release it finally started to play well, EA decided to drop it's support. This time, EA deceived us with marketing referring to previous installments in the series (the trailer that was released in June had parts of Battlefield 3, BFBC2 and other community favorite moments/footages). The game that has been released is far from how it was being teased. Map design is poor - that's a result of bumping player count to 128. The maps lack details that were present in previous games. There is barely any destruction. As for the specialists, while I can live with them, cringy lines playing after every game are just too much to handle. There are just 22 weapons in the game, this is nothing when compared to Battlefield 4 which had over 70 of them. As others pointed out, we lost lots of basic features (which DICE now calls legacy features lmao). And finally, we come to the technical aspect. The game is far from being finished. Hitreg is terrible, UI is a joke - sometimes I don't even know whether a toggle is enabled or disabled. To me, this is an unfinished mess, which started as a battle royale game but then it was (poorly) remade into a Battlefield game.

    Can't hit **** in front of you, game is Stormtrooper Simulator 2024
    Infantry combat is grabage because everyone runs in howercraft with 40mm canon or the one with 30mm, vehicles unkillable with 3 C5/3 direct shots from launcher.

    LAGS, servers constantly showing high ping to the point animations are missing and you cannot move properly

    sprint, run and evertyhing else animations are clunky AF

    BREAKTHROUGH UNWINNABLE 85% of times because of points on top of buildings and the fact you can camp it with freaking TANKS. nothing breaks through the last skyscrapper on hourglass

    Portal is gimmick    … Expand

    The 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.

    Since I only rate Battlefield 2042 with 3 out of 10 I starts with the cons:

    - Poor sound design over all - not really immersive and really clonky, menu sounds are bad to worse and ingame sounds are really like a game from the 90´s - the game content is really not enough - just some multiplayer maps and a protal mode? and they want for the ultimate version like 100 bucks? - the    Since I only rate Battlefield 2042 with 3 out of 10 I starts with the cons:

    - the game content is really not enough - just some multiplayer maps and a protal mode? and they want for the ultimate version like 100 bucks?
    - the gameplay is very buggy (you can "drive" with hovercrafts on housewalls, you get stuck if you get killed in different variations besides being in a vehicle or by foot on the ground, the servers lag very often and the game crashes from time to time
    - i got a really hardcore hardware setup with 3090 and i9 11th gen and so on and get like 58fps (lol)

    pros:
    - the specialist system is pretty nice
    - the "T" system to change weapon addons on the fly is really nice
    - the graphics are "ok"

    Overall the game is not worth the money - i would maybe spend 5 to 10 bucks for that game if i get a promise that i get new content monthly for maybe the next 5 years...    … Expand

    All 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.

    The 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.

    Despite 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.
