    Black Screen start ups, hard crashes, poor maps, and the soul has been ripped out of this game. Save yourself, money and time. Go play BF4 for a year maybe they'll get this trash fire out to turn out dlc skins to buy.

    This is THE BattleField game that will KILL this legendary game series.

    Aside from crazy bugs, game stability, log-in issues, charging more money for less content.

If I want to have special moves I go play Overwatch, if I want to play Rambo I go play COD, if I want to play cringe characters I will go play Fortnite. BUT this is Battlefield! this is Battlefield!! THIS IS BATTLEFIELD!!!

    here is where it went wrong:
    1. the whole specialist setup ends up with everyone having the same setup in-game
    2. for an FPS game with only 22 weapons and everyone has a PP
    3. call down system ruin the game, walking around is suicide
    4. for a huge map there are lots of empty spaces
    5. cool trailers, but you cant destroy much inside the game
    6. no scoreboard, really? cant switch teams? really?
    7. cant play with more than 4 friends

    remember, these are design problems, not bugs!

    Please don't buy this game, this game is just trash. I am a BattleField fan and I will tell you to go play COD Vanguard, that's a much better game than this garbage, this game is littery GARBAGE.

    Also you all should go question those critics who gave this game more than 5/10. Where is their moral to lie through their teeth? Why do they have no shame? Is it credibility has no value these days?!!?
    Their names should be pinned on the totem of shame! They will lie to all of you right in the face!    … Expand

    Yes, 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.

    This game is unplayable, the game can't prepare more than 30-35 fps on Ryzen 2600 (graphics settings doesn't matter, GPU utilization of my RTX 3070 never goes above 60%), and it's even worse if you start start shooting to someone

    Pretty dissapointed on the game. I will start by saying that so many thing that have made the BF series great appeared to have been abandoned.

Additionally so few weapons 2 shotguns, 4 assault rifles, etc etc completely lame. One of the worst if not the worst battlefield released. If you are on the fence of buying it, please dont.

    A game clearly in an unfinished state that's been designed by management and forgetting what the Battlfield series is all about.
    Portal is the only saving grace with this mess and even then it's only fun for a while.

    As a BF fanboy, I tried. I tried to convince myself purchasing the game was worthy, to find any good point in this game. I can't. Everything is wrong in BF2042. Maps are wrong, removing classes is wrong, gunplay is wrong, servers are wrong, the customization in battle just makes strong weapons stronger, the details we saw in BF4 and 1 are gone, Portal is simply inferior to the classics.

Не буду писать про скудный арсенал - это тоже решаемо и не критично. Но упорото все остальное. Карты - это пустыни, по которым хаотично дрифтуют стритрейсеры, врезаясь в дома, друг в друга, тараня заборы и деревья, в попытке задавить хоть кого-то. Меньше всего это похоже на поле боя. Скорее больше напоминает Безумный Макс, только в постановке ментально покалеченных. В этих бескрайних пустынях разбросаны точки притяжения игроков, где творится безумие и хаос. Респауны сделаны просто гениально - вы обороняете одиноко стоящий небоскреб, выбираете точку возрождения на нем и появляетесь в 150 метрах от него - с произвольной стороны. Иногда вам везет, а иногда прямо с той стороны, где в данный момент небоскреб атакует команда противников - просто посреди них. Кстати, у вас нет какого-то определенного противника - ваш соперник это такие же вы, но под другим флагом. Меню просто плохое и неудобное. Нет счета, нет нормального браузера серверов, плохие индикаторы на поле боя, непонятно как вы сыграли относительно других, зато расскажут, кто больше всех поднял, а кто больше всех пометил врагов. Время между матчами забивают какие-то непонятные заставки и пролеты камеры, в этот момент вы не можете, например, заниматься своими делами, настраивая арсенал или приступить скорее к игре - сидите и смотрите одно и тоже в сотый раз. Конечно авторы попытались все эти недостатки чем-то компенсировать - им это удалось: после окончания раунда вас ждут роскошные стойки персонажей и смешные фразочки от них же. Если бы мне было лет 8-10 - я был бы в восторге. Режим портал игру никак не спасает, сколько бы хвалебных отзывов про него не рассказывали и не писали. Это неплохой фановый режим, не более. Карт там мало, играют в него тоже не особо. Про хазардзон вообще писать смысла не вижу. Играя в эту батлу возникают вопросы "зачем": зачем это выпустили под тайтлом баттлефилда, зачем из этого пытались сделать баттлефилд - непонятно. Эта игра не стоит ни 2300, ни 1600, за которые можно это купить в данный момент. Рублей 300-500 вполне достойная цена, чтобы вы могли бы задаться своими вопросами "зачем", но вот только зачем вам это делать. Единственное, на что мог бы сгодиться этот БФ - поднять рейтинг пятерке: ее за последние годы худо-бедно довели до ума, а на фоне этого недоразумения V теперь так вообще шикарна.… Expand

    Ghost 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.

    -Lack of content. Not at all what was advertised and showcased, does not match the picture of what was promised.
    -This "early access" should be renamed to extended beta testing. It is a horrible release.
    -What multiplayer game doesn't have voice chat?.
    -What multiplayer FPS game doesn't have a scoreboard?
    -What battlefield game doesn't have a server browser for conquest?
    -Why cant i choose my squad?
    -Bugs..so many bugs
    -Hits not registering.
    -Dying while stationary
    -Kicked out of the game session with no error or explanation
    -Cant Join games due to "Unable to load persistence data" error which happened the whole week, unable to join games for days,
    -Falling out of the game map.
    -DLSS not working.
    -Server quality is awful

    I could go on and on and on. The game is not worth 110/90/60 euros, not even 30. They lied, like they did with Anthem, this is a pure cash grab. The game is unfinished. Nothing short of a joke.

I personaly think 2042 is boring, good graphics, gameplay feelds good, but there is nothing really new, like BF4 with new skins (well there are Hovercrafts and VTOLS now), the maps are not as iconic as the older ones, but well new content to come - I actually hope they track down the plenty of bugs first.
    Talking about "Battlefield Portal" I'm pretty impressed, playing old modes and maps from 1942, Bad Company 2 and BF3 is fun! And - fun fact - in that mode I don't experience any bugs.

    How ever, for now I wouldn't recommend to buy the game... wait and let DICE/EA sort out this mess, and buy it when it is stable and "playable"..

    The 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.

    The game itself is really good looking but also from the gameplay point of view it looks to me a little too much chaotic. Winning or losing looks absolutely casual, maybe because of the high number of players. The maps from my point of view have too wide spaces wit no place where to cover and for this reason I believe maps give an advantage to snipers.
    Also, I know that everyone buy a Battlefield for the online and not for the campaign but the lack of this from my point of view is part of the game that has been always present and now is missing without any extra addictions to the multiplayer.    … Expand

DICE and EA have launched a game that is borderline unplayable at best. Not only have the player count declined nearly ninety percent in the first two months post-launch. They have already removed my favorite game mode "Rush" due to their dwindling play count. Not only that, but the player count is so low I have difficulty finding servers of any game mode. Eventually, when you due they are filled with AI-controlled "bots" due to lack of real players.

    Now let's pretend you DO get into a server.. you're welcomed with server lag, fps drops, guns with horrendous hit registration, and bugs such as your character getting stuck in limbo after a death which is only fixed by closing and restarting the who game making you miss out on everything earned in that round of play.

    Quite simply it is so horrendous there should probably be a class-action lawsuit filed for false advertisement and/or fraud because there is no possibility a AAA developer the likes of DICE and EA should be able to sell a game that is fundamentally broken in every way imaginable. Refunds for this title should come as standard due to the sheer audacity of the developers to sell us an alleged AAA title in this state.

    My specs: Nvidia Gefore 2060, 16GB Memory, M.2 SSD, 9th Gen Intel i7. Played on High and Low settings @ 1080P.

    Issues:
    - Constant rubber banding (similar to lag/latency) even with a ping of 4ms. Mostly happen on certain maps and when there is a lot going on. Due to this, you experience poor hit reg. For example, shooting someone 3 times in the chest with a shotgun from 5 meters and only the last shot counts. Other examples include teleporting through walls or on top of objects. Flying a Helicopter, teleporting through the air and into buildings.
    - Poorly optimized. Similar framerate on low and high settings. Maybe a 5-10fps difference.
    - No Squad management in-game, can't switch between squads for example. Can't even see members of other squads.
    - No scoreboard.
    - No classes (There will be "meta" loadout and specialist combinations that everyone will use).
    - Un-populated Portal, Breakthrough and Hazard Zone servers. This might be a region issue, as the matchmaking seems to only match on low latency.
    - Dice said if matchmaking fails to find a match, it will start a game with bots. I have yet to see this happen.
    - Can't host portal servers (Global quota reached error)
    - No dedicated / self-managed servers.
    - User interface can be counterintuitive and confusing in certain areas.
    - Numerous balancing issues. For example helicopter AA rocket lock-on jets, you need to be extremely close. Yet infantry AA seems to have a much further range.
    The PP-29 is the most powerful short to medium range weapon. The Assualt rifles don’t compete against it very well. The AK has extreme recoil to the point where it is very underpowered medium range.
    - Hovercraft is the most meta thing in the game. Oblivious to rocket fire and tank shells.
    - It feels like the maps don’t encourage tactical gameplay very much. In comparison to Battlefield 3 maps for example.
    - Most buggy and glitchy Battlefield I have ever played.

    Personal Background:
    Started playing competitively during the Bad Company 2 years and continued throughout Battlefield 3 until the launch of BF4. Took part in many tournaments and competitions. Was looking forward to a good comeback to those modern/future eras, with good tactical gameplay and map layouts.

    Conclusion:
    Overall the game can be fun to play at times (when it works as expected). There are some good innovations and some not so great/confusing. And I can imagine a much better experience on a high-end machine, running a 3080 or 2080 graphics card. There is a lot of potential with Portal, but that feels wasted without dedicated self-managed servers and the inability to host due to "Global quota reached" errors.

    Recommend waiting a while until the game is out of "early access" and also having a high enough spec-ed machine before buying.    … Expand

Apart from the glitches the 128 players thing is an expensive gimmick that isn't supported by the tech and gameplay design, and all the mishmash just not fun for some reason. Add to that a ton of lacking and absent essential features like server browsers, teamwork indicators and score tracking and movement variety and the list of downgrades would sound like we're talking about a mobile version of a PC game.

    I can't give a higher score for copying the older classics in the Portal feature. So there: All out War is pretty bad. Hazard Zone is okay. To continue treating the customer base like greedy bastards is way out of line.    … Expand

    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

Now that was a fukin lie.

    The missleading marketing was so good that so many people including myself ended up preordering the game.. This should be illegal and is similar worse like CP2077 when it released.

    - No scoreboard as we knew it
    - No Server Browser for AOW
    - No VOIP
    - Crossplay invite friends is buggy
    - U can only join a match with a maximum of 4 people (one squad)
    - 128 players are way to much
    - Way to huge maps that makes me feel playing a copy pasted far cry
    - Almost no cover and IF there is cover it can do electric dmg to you or even explode, like wtf?
    - No Squad play and almost no XP rewards for specific gameplay actions
    - No Content, no battlepass
    - Almost no destruction just scripted stuff like the rocket on orbital
    - No gritty atmosphere but fortnite style saturation

    - Hitreg is a mess
    - Aim assist for console players is a mess

    Portal with restricted XP to 300 a minute and NO ribbons. You can gain 6K XP in 20 minutes while making 25-35K XP in 20 Minutes in a standard AOW round if you are good at battlefield. This is a joke. Who made such bad calculations? No one even plays portal anymore because of the restrictions.

    Hazard Zone.. well I dont even want to start here. There is literally no value in this mode. You try to extract and obtain coins you then can spend to play your loadout you can play in AOW anyway. Just to do THE EXACT SAME THING you did before being able to buy your loadout with coins. No other rewards nothing. This game mode is already dead like Firestorm 2.0 back in BF5. Wasted. They hyped this mode into oblivion. Holy moly..

    Content got delayed to "early" summer. Scoreboard got delayed from february to march. This is a joke. What the heck happened to DICE? This is not battlefield and this is no live service. This is a bad aprils fool joke.

Less vehicle driver/pilot customization options No tank zoom customization options No tank gunner customization options No heli gunner secondary weapons No separate heli/fixed-wing controls No control input while looking behind/free looking in aircraft (BF1 and V pilots, this one is gonna absolutely suck for you guys) Scoring System No squad wipe scoring No player damage points No vehicle damage points No vehicle kill assist points No headshot bonus No long-range kill bonus No assist counts as kill bonus No squad objective play bonus Oversimplified teamplay scoring (i.e. healing a teammate always gives you +5xp rather than the amount of health you give) Squad and Teamwork No commander No special squad call-in abilities No squad field upgrades No in-game VOIP Fewer factions (with almost nothing to give the 2 factions any distinction) No cross-team chat No "create new squad" option No "promote to squad leader" option No clans No view of squadmates while in the spawn screen No "Medic incoming" indicator in downed state No rank names/icons, just a number. UI and Quality of Life Less control customization options Less UI customization options No HUD/icon opacity customization No HUD scaling customization options No gunsight reticle customization options No network performance graph No individual player scoreboard Less detail in the 'who killed you' screen No ultrawide monitor support Very poor friend joining system No console aim assist (big fat **** you to console players there, dice)    … Expand

    What a bad game EA, DICE. Pretty bad graphics it looks like a PS2 game. The multiplayer is broken. Battlefield 3 looks more better. I see a lot of bad Project Management here. I feel sorry for the developers.

    5800x + 6800xt = 30-60 fps lowest settings. Crashes all the time. Fastest refund in the west.

    This game is ridden with bugs. They sold us a beta for a full price. A piece of software that forces me to hard reset my PC every time it bugs the living hell out of the crouch key is not worth a penny.

    Trash, do not buy, Beta had better performance that full release, in beta on medium settings I had 50-60 FPS, in full game I have on low settings 20-30, Unplayable. And they cannot fix it. Bugs all over.

    What has happened? 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.

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

    Oh boy oh boy what can I say what hasn't been said about FortntieField 20-40 FPS. This game is garbage. Plain and simple. Don't give the incompetent losers at DICE a cent for this.

    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.
