    Really disappointing. The gunplay isn't good, the UI makes it so hard to tell what's going on. The bugs are also pretty horrendous too. Might be sorted in 6 months / a year but who knows.

    This feels like an alpha test for $60, runs like ass and purposely misses out features, such as leaderboards and an actual class system, to appeal to a non existent hyper-casual audience. Should have been delayed another year but EA said otherwise.

    They ruined it with all the new COD features. The majority of battlefield fans wanted something like Battlefield 3 or 4 and instead they got a COD/ Titanfall crossover. Absolutely horrible. This is no longer the war simulator we all loved. There's a old saying "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" remastered versions of 3 and 4 would be nice but EA is becoming too greedy.

    Basically this game is full of bugs, worse optimisation than beta, specialist discourages teamplay (Casper's drone) and countless broken promises to veteran players.

    Its hard to believe this came out after Battlefield 1 and V.
    I don't agree with some of the decision being made like removing the scoreboard, all chat and the four class system which is a staple of the series.

    To join a match, you enter a loading screen, followed by an animation, followed by a loading screen, followed by an animation and some cringey horrible one liner from some forgettable specialist, followed by a loading screen...

    Then if you're lucky and don't have an error at this point, you get a 30 second count down, followed by a movie intro to the map you're on.

    If you make it this far... then congratulations, you can now play the half finished buggy mess - unless it puts you in a match on the "Victory/Defeat" screen, which happens way to often - then... rinse and repeat.

    This is so bad - and that's the process you go through before you even get to the game breaking bugs.

    If there were ZERO bugs, and great performance - then this game would possibly be a 70% at best.

    Right now, if you have a 3090 and the top of the line CPU... your game is still going to be a buggy, low FPS mess.

    Any review site that put this at 60% or above, is absolutely not to be trusted - and if they're making money from these reviews, are straight up fraudulent.    … Expand

    It's sad to see my favorite franchise turning into whatever BF2042 is. So many gameplay changes that were obviously made just for cosmetic-selling reasons or to appeal to audiences other than the Battlefield community. I just hope that Dice will learn from this and go back to its roots. But I don't have much hope.

    - No hardcore
    - Cannot join, create, or lock a squad
    - No military ranks associated with numerical ranks
    - No resizable minimap
    - Cannot select loadout or operator before joining a server which, in certain situations, spawn you directly into the game with whatever you had last game. This happens when joining a fresh breakthrough game, mostly.
    - Obnoxious voice-overs, operators are incredibly vocal, every time you do an action they say a line and you cant turn it off.
    - Unnecessary changes to the aircraft flight characteristics from BF4 models
    - On the spawn screen tanks/helis use the same icon, you simply cannot tell if that's a transport or attack heli that you are spawning into.
    - No maps with water and thusly no boats.. despite there being a big-ass boat on the loading screen.
    - No stats page
    - No commander
    - No squad points for issuing orders or following them
    - No marksman head shot bonus for long range snipes
    - Melee take down animations have been turned to **** All enemies are brought to a standing position before one specific kill is performed.
    - Revive is glitched when downed teammate's head is too close to something.
    - Cannot tell if there is room to enter a friendly vehicle without trying to get in it.
    - Cannot dive underwater
    - Damage dealt numbers, e.g. "VEHICLE HIT 28" after hitting a tank with a rocket, have been removed. This applies to both infantry and vehicles.
    - Non-removable profanity filter
    - Repairing vehicles does not give XP
    - Faction locked weapons and gadgets in Portal
    - No rule editor support for objective based game modes
    - Grappling Hook is afraid of smoke
    - Zoom issues with sniper scopes
    - Inability to switch teams
    - Vehicle entry and exit animations have been removed

Currently as I write this review all the servers are bugged and stuck in a never ending overtime ( Joined 6 servers in a row , all bugged )

    The entire operator system is garbage and clearly only put into the game to sell skins, which is pathetic. Also the games story makes no sense, why are we all "no pats" when in multiplayer its RUSSIA VS AMERICA. Like are the countries powerful enough to attack other foreign nations but not powerful enough to have their own militaries, but apparently have enough money to hire an ARMY of personal mercenaries? Those mercenaries that get dropped off by ACTUAL soldiers? Also it looks REALLY stupid when you're fighting a team with the exact same operators as yours. *slow clap* And on a side note the AI soldiers all look way cooler than any of the operators, which is also pathetic on its own.

    Weapon variety is awful and for some reason DICE thought it was a good idea to give each weapon less attachments than their previous games, and this is clearly only because they have to work around their stupid switch attachments on the fly system which only allows you to have 4 different attachment types ( looking at vanguard you can have 8 to 10 on each gun, AND THEYRE WORLD WAR 2 GUNS FFS ), which that in its own makes literally zero sense. LIke yeah in the middle of a firefight I'm just going to swap out my optics, ammo type, and barrel in 2 seconds. yup.

    There are only TWO game modes for the main game. Conquest, which is just a hot mess with the map size and player count, and breakthrough, which just divulges into a zerg in between the attacking points/ Why have such a HUGE map but focus all the fighting into a small area?

    There is NO voice chat, at all, which is a BIG LMAO. There is no actual scoreboard, because reasons?

    The gunplay is just terrible. Hit Reg is pretty much non existent, and you better hope you NEVER have to fire your gun while moving because apparently any sort of movement turns your gun barrel into a piece of limp spaghetti because your bullets just decide to go everywhere but where you're aiming. The gun spread in portal is its own disaster but to save a paragraph, just think 2042 but worse :)

    Hovercraft....I'm convinced they just didn't do any internal testing because if they did they would have realized that the hovercraft can literally climb the sides of skyscrapers and fly through the air.

    The game is clearly unfinished, clearly a cash grab, and clearly broken. I paid 158 Canadian ( after tax ) for the ultimate edition. This game is NOT worth even a quarter of that. Why did DICE decide this game was ready for release when it clearly isn't?

    On a side note, Hazard Zone clearly received little to no love and is probably just going to end up like firestorm ( received pretty much no marketing at all other than that AWFUL trailer, and the game is out in 4 days ) I'm quite confident its just going to end up being Firestorm 2.0, abandoned and forgotten as if it were never part of the game at all. Which is sad because it seems that any time DICE tries to do ANYTHING unique, they just fail. They couldn't even copy hunt showdown or Tarkov properly. Hazard Zone is what I was most excited for and seeing how bare bones and unfinished it is just hurts.

    Worst battlefield launch in the history of the franchise.

    I would give it a 1 just for the graphics. Main problems: 1. Insanely clunky UI - the social tab, the T menu - don't get me started. 2. Performance - playing with 5900x and 3080 GPU i have inconsistent frame rates, some hard drops during firing that make it really hard to hit. 3. Attack of the clones - everyone is the    Worst battlefield launch in the history of the franchise.

    I would give it a 1 just for the graphics.

    Main problems:

    1. Insanely clunky UI - the social tab, the T menu - don't get me started.
    2. Performance - playing with 5900x and 3080 GPU i have inconsistent frame rates, some hard drops during firing that make it really hard to hit.
    3. Attack of the clones - everyone is the same character and its hard to tell teams
    4. Portal - I was counting on this mode being the saving grace for this game but sadly, it inherits many bugs from the core game - such as weird bloom in gunplay, super clunky UI etc.
    5. Portal doesn't have any progression - so the very limited selection of guns is already unlocked at start with all their attachments.
    6. Portal progression seems to affect the main level - but it was immediately nerfed after launch since DICE can't be bothered to QA the game to find exploits pre launch.
    7. Impossible to join friends on the main game modes - i tried several times - the result is that I get queue for the server, when it finishes it says party leader selecting mode and goes back to main menu.
    8. Impossible to join more than 3 friends - currently its only possible to join 3 friends (even though it doesn't work for me at all), so if your clan has 5 or more tough luck - you will play on different servers.
    9. No scoreboard - kind of kills a lot of the gameplay satisfaction.
    10. Sound is terrible - something that for me was a staple of battlefield games is just horrible, its super silent although things are going on around you, and footsteps sound like they are on top of you even though they can be many meters away.
    11. Maps - there is much less detail in the new maps - very little unique stuff, usually large empty areas and some copy pasted empty buildings around objectives.
    None of the new objectives seem to create memorable or interesting combat loops, unlike most maps in BF4.
    Seems to me they were created in a hurry without passion or much thought.
    12. Specialists gameplay - once most people reached around level 25 you start seeing the asian chick with the scan wallhack ability all the time - this kills any tactical gameplay.
    Other operators are quite bland, most people below 25 will play Falck for self healing and nice XP farm for revives- can be bundled with ammo pack for maximum farm.
    13. No squad menu - cant swap squads in game - cant reassign leader etc. - kinda kills the experience as you get randomly assigned to a squad at the start of the map - add to that that after every match the previous squad gets replaced so it is always a coin toss.
    14. Guns - they seem really inconsistent - there is some weird bloom going on - sometimes the guns are laser accurate and sometimes they are not, can't say if its a bug or not, add to that the net code is quite crappy so its very hard to hit people at range.
    15. Snipers - since there isn't a real penalty for recon kit - as you can take any gun with any gadgets there are loads of snipers and marksman everywhere, consider that as I said most maps are large and empty aside from some buildings at objectives this makes it sniper heaven.
    16. No server browser or private servers - technically there is 1 for portal but not for the main game, this was a staple of battlefield because you would find a nice server you liked and keep returning to it everyday and get to know the admins and players - form a small community.
    17. No all chat - this game tries to cater to snowflakes, I suspect that the similarly to YouTube removing dislikes, DICE removed all chat and scoreboard to avoid people getting their feeling hurts.

    Almost everywhere I look there is a big issue or step backwards.

    As a fan of the franchise that owns all BF games I'm sorely disappointed and feel cheated for buying this game - especcially at a premium to get early access.

    If the rumors are true and there is indeed a day 1 patch that will release at the end of early access it would be doubly disappointing.

    I expect that EA DICE if they have any honor left for their customers - will offer some compensations for those that payed premiums for this Alpha/Beta build and can no longer refund it.    … Expand

    Overall, it does not feel like a battlefield at all and sound and recoil takes away all fun.

    This is not a Battlefield! The game strives to be a love letter to Call of Duty buf fails even in that account. There is nothing fun in it and it is many steps back in comaprison with previous Battlefield titles. Even BF1 from 2016 looks way better than this.

But the worst offense is lack ot team-play incentives that Battlefield was so good at before. There is simply no reason to try to help others... it is a game for lone wolf players who like heroic shoots and for reason don't want to play Call of Duty or Apex. It is obvious this game was all designed around milking players for money. That would be... let's say acceptable, if me as a player would have fun with the game. But they somehow forget, that when no one will play this pathetic excuse for a game no one will be all that precious cosmetics and Battle path. And you shouldn't either. Also this nicely shows ho skewed are the critic's reviews. Did we even play same game? I guess not. Or maybe I payed for it while you've been paid to praise it. Shame.… Expand

I get it - PC Master race and all that, so no need to bring that old chestnut into this.

    OK - so I was looking forward to this game like nothing else, and I'm a BF fan since BF3 (played 3, 4, 1 and 5 to death). I played the BETA and really enjoyed it, knowing that it was an older build, and happy in the fact that DICE had confirmed that near all the issues with the BETA had been resolved in the release version.

    Unfortunately, the release version is a massive step down from the BETA version for me, for a number of reasons:

    Scoreboard - there isn't one. DICE don't want you feeling bad if you have a poor k/d, therefore they're not going to show you a scoreboard where you can compare your stats to anyone elses. This also means you can't see if anyone has been cheating/hacking and has a 120 k/d ratio. You can't hack on console you say - well see the second dot point.
    Forced cross-play on xbox, with zero console aim assist to combat it. You can't turn cross-play off on Xbox. 90% of the people you come up against are on PC and you just can't compete against m&k when there's no aa to help. You could turn cross play off in the BETA, but they've disabled that in the actual release - now you can only turn it off in the xbox settings and it's buried (hidden) 5 layers deep in the settings, and it also means that you can't cross-play in any other games once you've disabled it.
    Loadout issues - so you play to level up your character and your guns, but the funny thing is 9 times out of 10 the loading screen is broken and you can't actually choose what guns you want to play with, so you load in with the basic first assault rife the game gives you, without any attachments that you've opened up and also no gadgets to use. You can't change this in-game. You're stuck with that gun and no gadgets unless you pick up someone elses gun off the ground.
    No server select - in the all out war (standard conquest) mode, you can only press play, and you have to trust the system to place you in a game. You don't know where that server is and based on the lag, the system doesn't care if it places you in an oceanic one, a US or European one etc. Once you're in a server, you don't know where it is located. You also don't know what map you're loading into, and how far along that game is. It also doesn't keep you in that server. Once a map is finished you're booted back to the main menu to find a new game, which could be the same map, and also another game that's close to finishing.
    Errors - tonnes of them. I couldn't play much at all on Saturday as the game just errored out trying to enter any game mode.
    The characters - although I'm not a fan of the specialists, I don't mind them so much, but some of them are just game breaking and 90% of people are using the broken ones, such as the one that gives out free armour plates. You're forced to use him also, due to the unfairness of having to constantly fight people with 20 more HP than you.
    Removed all aspects of team play.
    The gunplay - random at best. There's bloom on all guns and it's a flip of the coin as to whether your bullets hit their target or not. Gun fights aren't won by skill, they're won by chance to give those that aren't great a fighting chance.
    The maps - some are gorgeous and look incredible. But they are also lifeless as they are just too big. Some of them have next to zero cover and you just spawn in the middle of an open desert, then are forced to watch a gun chambering animation before moving - usually by that time you've been shot.
    Portal is amazing, although I wouldn't know it as about 80% of portal games error out for me. Also, DICE have made it so you can barely level up anything when playing portal (levelling is severely capped) to combat idiots that have filled the portal servers with farm xp game modes (AI with 10 health and no weapons).
    I could go on about the no chat, small amount of weapons available, and the general unfinished and broken aspects of the game, but that's plenty for now. Like I said - I'm a massive BF fan and I've been waiting for this game for years. Disappointed is an understatement - maybe in 6 months it might be worth playing. Until then, save your cash if you were on the fence.    … Expand

    Per reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/qs5gh9/a_list_of_issues_with_battlefield_2042_and_what/

    1) No Scoreboard - No scoreboard means you can't tell who's hacking, can't tell if the teams are balanced, can't see how many bots there are in your lobby, can't see everyone's ranks/levels, can't see everyone's stats and comparing yourself and your squad to everyone else, can't see latency of everyone in the match, can't see overall score, and can't see how many different classes are being played. The players have everything to lose when there is no scoreboard, yet EA/DICE have everything to gain. If you care about your community and respect us as dedicated fans of this series, you will bring back at least this one feature.

    2) No scoring system - We've had a scoring system in Battlefield for many years now, yet such a system does not exist in BF2042. Shooting at enemy players does not rack up any score points, throwing ammo/meds or doing repairs doesn't rack up score points. Capturing objectives, playing as a squad, marking objectives, spotting enemies, etc, all of these do not rack up any score. All we get now is a basic XP system that cannot be shown or displayed to anyone. You cannot compare your score with people on your own team, let alone the enemy team. The removal of the scoring system plus the removal of the scoreboard both contribute to the lack of competitiveness that the franchise has been known for. Remember the days where you were at the top of the scoreboard with 0 kills but the most revives/heals? Say goodbye to that.

    3) No stats page - So we have no scoreboard, no scoring system, and also...no stats page. We cannot even see our own progression and stats in the game. Remember the Battlelog days where we can see so many detailed stats and also compare with other users? Well we hit rock bottom.

    4) No server browser - When you thought it couldn't get even worse, it just did. BF2042 has no server browser, you matchmake like you do in Call of Duty. We cannot manually select/search for games, we have to just use the matchmaking system that does the search for us. This is taking power away from players for no good reason. This opens the door for SBMM/EOMM becoming a thing which is a major red flag. It gets worse.

    5) Players do not carry over to next match, lobby disbands - Out of all the things EA/DICE could take from Modern Warfare, they took one of the worst things ever introduced, which was lobby disbandment. When a match is over, everyone is thrown back to the main menu, you get no chance to rematch the players you just played with. The older CoD and BF games all kept the same players for the next map, meaning you could play with the same players match after match. You cannot do that anymore as the system now forces everyone to disband immediately after the post-match screen. Needless to say, but this kills what little sense of community this game had left. Well done.    … Expand

Portal doesn't feel like battlefield either. It feels like I'm playing a different game that copied battlefields maps. The maps look great even though they aren't faithful recreations.

    The battlefield series has always had this magical feeling of being a military sim and an arcade game in one making it easily accessible. You could jump on the game and act like a complete idiot and have a lot of fun or you could go sweaty, get your adrenaline pumped up, and compete for top spot while trying not to throw your keyboard through your monitor. Hell, you could even do both at the same time. However, the sim stuff was never **** with. It would draw you in and get your heart racing as you battled your way through the maps. Everything felt proper.

    As a competitive player the only thing that kept me playing was the need to get good enough to place in a decent position to be able to enjoy the game the way it was meant to be played because I was really bad at it when I started. While I don't mind people running around acting like idiots because I do it myself, I don't want to loose what has kept me drawn to battlefield for the last 15 years.

    With 2042 they threw the simulation and competition out the window. It's all play and little work. I can't take this factionless, classless, scoreboard less, stat less, XP exploitable, moon vehicle physics, 3rd person takedown piece of **** seriously. The realism is gone, The Competition is gone. It's 100% an arcade game with few military sim features now. They have changed the fundamentals of battlefield and screwed up features that have been in the ENTIRE battlefield series.

    Fans and community again and again told EA/Dice in many and lengthy posts what they expect from a modern Battlefield. Then EA development deciders seem to have a meeting about it, realize what the community wants and then decide: Now we make it all it a different way, because the community cannot know what they want - only us godlike EA deciders are smart enough to know what the community wants. Well, the reactions on the released game now show how "smart" EA really is. The have launched another gigantic flop.

    So let's skip this abomination of a battlefield game and hope the best for the next try. Hopefully from Dice LA or whatever they call themselves now, they always seem to have a better feeling for what Battlefield is than the Swedish.

    They are trying to market a new audience - not successfully in my opinion. I don't hate the devs and I'm sure they worked hard. Ultimately, though, it is not a game I see myself playing in what little free time I have.    … Expand

    worst battlefield of all time, No matter how good you are, the hit registry and variable weapon accuracy ruins any sense of this being a fun gain and makes every fight a coin toss. the game was not ready and honestly with all the bs thats broken and lack of features this game will never be ready.

    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

    The worst battlefield i have ever played.

    Completely stripped of all emotion and features to make room for a notyet implemented heavy monetization system. This game is barebones to the maximum with only 22 guns in the main mode and 7 maps. The maps might be big, but they are empty as **** and not fun to fight on as infantry.

This game is barebones to the maximum with only 22 guns in the main mode and 7 maps. The maps might be big, but they are empty as **** and not fun to fight on as infantry. Since all teamplay features have been removed anyways, even specialist follow the design philosophy of solo play. All of them are selfish as **** and there is little incentive to be a team player with the lack of rewards for actually helping other players.
    Vehicles are both **** to control and hilariously busted. Why does a ****ty hoverboat out of rubber take 5 antitank rounds to destroy, when it can move at mach 5 while ignoring gravity (see a video of it climbing buildings in hourglass). All vehicles regen health passively, there is pretty much no risk of dying if you have higher IQ than room temperature.

    Hazard zone is just a barebones spin on battle royale. Expect it to be dead quicker than BFV firestorm. Portal is cool, but the laggy ass movement of 2042 exists in portal aswell. The guns also suffer from the same random inaccuracy as the base version guns. With only 2 maps of each respective omage game. It's really not enough to save the package.

    The game runs like absolute dog**** even on a 3080 / r5 5600x setup. It's buggy, laggy and the hitreg is busted.

    SKIP THIS GAME. Maybe buy it in 2 years if it's playable, but so many core features are either missing or fundamentally ****ed up. I doubt Dice will ever be able to make this game actually decent, like they eventually managed with BFV. BFV might not be perfect, but it still miles ahead of this soulless ****heap of a game.    … 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.
