    Locked in about 10 hours of play in early access.
    Game is a broken mess with no clear identity, tries to play with new trends just to attract new people but leaves the veteran players to a "demo" of past games, with that said, Portal is a great addition but it's not enough to waste $60-$110 and just stick into one game mode.. It's just not worth it.
    Hazard Zone is hot trash, that is all.    Locked in about 10 hours of play in early access.

    Like I said before, the game lost all it's identity, it shouldn't even be called "Battlefield" anymore.
    Besides that the myriad of things EA DICE has decided to cut from the game it's just foolish and laziness at it's highest.
    I cannot and will not support this game anymore, not in the state it is right now.
    And for those who just say "Just wait 6-12 months and it'll be fine and dandy" it's not a good enough excuse, game should've been delayed 6-12 months if that would've made it better.

    This game was free for me and I feel ripped off.

    My friend gave me a code for this game that came with a part for his pc so I got this game completely for free.

    Wow this game is just horrible. Not even going to touch on the lack of features since that seems to be the #1 complaint. This game runs absolutely horrible on a 2070s and 3700x. Had to drop the settings hard to get a stable frame rate. Servers are terrible, hit detection is non existent, and lots of game breaking bugs.

    This just feels like another soul-less EA cash grab, I can't even say this game is fun or worth my time even if it were free. No amount of patches will save this awful mess. I am deleting this and going back to BF4/5 or Vanguard.    … 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

    Issues:

    Maps are way too big with no detail, definitely rushed. There are vast tracts of land with zero detail, cover, anything. Just CLEARLY unfinished work.
    Destruction is a major downgrade, EA flat out lied on this one.

    The UI is an embarrassment.
    A college team of interns could have crafted a better UX.
    No VoIP
    No Scoreboard
    No "All" Chat
    The 2042 voice lines are so cringe I mute the game sometimes.
    Performance is mediocre on my high end PC
    The specialist system is disgusting and ruins the flow of the game. No need for teamwork/collaboration anymore. It's just a free for all where no one knows what to do, leading to horribly unbalanced matches.
    No squad switching. So if you're alone in a squad with no one to spawn on to, you're beat.
    Endless glitches and bugs that require restarting the game.
    The gameplay itself is average. Specialists really degrade the experience. Why wouldn't you just play COD at this point? (Which is a stable game on a great engine BTW)

    Portal is pretty fun if you happen to find a good server with settings/weapons/class system from the older games. No surprise, all of that still works really well, and is a breath of fresh air. Literally the only thing remotely redeeming about this game. Really hoping that this part of the game can thrive because there's truly nothing else like it on the market.

    Overall, just really sad to see how far this franchise has plummeted in the past few years. And we thought BFV was bad.

    Don't buy it. Wait.

    Update: Updating the score to a 2/10. The nostalgia wears off quick after a couple days of portal. The voice lines, aesthetic, and UI of this game are honestly unsalvageable. I'll just play cod and I can't believe I'd ever say that.    … Expand

    This is no longer a squad based game, hell, you can't pick your squad. Here's an example of what I mean, the majority of games that show most resurrections has a person with something like 10-15. I don't think i have ever seen a game where someone had 20+.    … Expand

    Poor design choices. A publisher/developer that is just out of touch with what the player wants. Lost some respect for the franchise. Sad to see one of my old favorites get this kind of treatment. Really hope Halo puts out a good shooter this year so we at least have one.

    If we're being honest as the game is below average at the moment. As many people have stated already this game lacks what made it great in the first place. Dice has this knack that every release they would take a step forward but multiple steps backwards. Then get the game to a nice spot yet never carry the improvements over. This being the most egregious in terms of BF5 to 2042.If we're being honest as the game is below average at the moment.

    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.

    Your UI needs a revision too, it actually fights against the user. I'm not sure what your Day 1 patch will entail but you guys chose to showcase the game like this, I can't justify purchasing this game right now, I simply can't because so many illogical choices made I'd be awarding negligence.

    A lot of reviews touched on the issues and another thing, the hovercraft needs to be reworked as well. That's all I have to say, this is sad, because I'm not sure if changes will be made and this is the first BF that I opted not to buy(I tested open beta and 10 hr Early Access), smh.    … Expand

Ever heard the whistle in BF1 lots of people rushing an objective. Mortar explosions, a flamer guy burning through trenches. That game had soul. Nothing is there in 2042 we got some goofy, wacky characters, oversaturated maps and weak sound design. Scoreboard missing and dumped down XP system lowers motivation.

    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.

    BF games were never perfect when they released and a lot can be fixed like bugs, balancing, crashes or performance issues. But this game has some fundamental issues that i doubt they will ever be changed.    … Expand

    There is zero innovation or creativity in BF2042 and it shows - blatant copied elements from other games, lack of design focus and a complete backtrack from what a battlefield title should be.

    I've played every Battlefield game to date and enjoyed every one of them except Hardline. This will be the first Battlefield game I refuse to purchase.

    There are always issues with BF titles - netcode, hit reg, server stability, missing features and bumpy launches plagued by bugs. The difference here? Previous titles had solid gameplay, solid design from the ground up & really fun core game experience. It was literally worth waiting for a polished title.

    With BF2042? This game is not salvageable. It will take a year to polish and even then you will be left with a bland, soul-less design mess lacking any credible gun play or gameplay.

    The only saving grace this game could have had was the addition of Portal which I assume is the love letter to Battlefield fans. Unfortunately with it's lackluster launch features and general lack of options, configuration & content it merely gives you a glimpse into how bad "BF2042 all out war" actually is, that it can't even compete with a 10+ year old game. All the while fracturing the community between 3 game modes no one really asked for.

Assault rifles shoot plastic bbs and not actual bullets and considering how overpowered SMG's are it's not even worth picking up an assault rifle.

Assault rifles shoot plastic bbs and not actual bullets and considering how overpowered SMG's are it's not even worth picking up an assault rifle.
    Tanks- What can I say, they are way too powerful against infantry and considering that rocket launcher does only 20hp of damage to a tank you need 2 people to shoot it with 5 rockets for it to die which is ridiculous.
    Helicopters - Let's start with little bird and how overpowered it still is, 32mm gun is accurate but deals a ton of damage, rocket pods can destroy entire squads if shot accurately. In general they need to be nerfed in some way to make them not as powerful as they are now. Attack Helis are okay but 2nd pilot seat gun is way too OP for what it is, 3-5 well placed shots and players just die no matter what.
    There is a lot of issues I could name from rubber banding to ridiculous hit boxes, from shots not registering or me dying when I'm behind a corner.

    Conclusion - So far the game is honestly not worth buying and EA overhyped this game way too much for what it is, Lack of guns, classes, game modes/maps, vehicles makes this game kind of a biggest disappointment in Battlefield history. I would say stay away from this game for at least another few months until so called game developer named EA fix their issues and hopefully make this game how it was meant to be.    … Expand

    The games on-foot movement mechanics are actually a lot of fun. Movement, including jumping and mantling is fluid and consistent. Parachuting is more realistic than in a game like Warzone, but allows for some additional tactics. When you are parachuting you can either control your descent and move with greater speed and maneuverability, at the expense of being able to fire you weapon. Or you can release your chute controls and descend, but have your weapon up to fire. Zip lines also allow you to be able to shoot in any direction, which helps when moving into fortified areas.

    The graphics, when they aren’t hampered by bugs, are great as well.

    The Bad

    Content (what’s missing):

    This list is literally too long to do justice here, so I recommend checking out the subreddit for the game on this.

    But there are no classes. You’re stuck with specialists that are piecemeal in terms of gameplay and being able to respond to in-game situations. There’s also no lock-on anti-vehicle weapons (SMAW/Joker), which is a problem when dealing with the insanely OP and overly fast hovercraft. You also can’t dive to get away from enemies, making you a sitting duck in water. Weapons attachments are also extremely sparse and poorly implemented. There are no thermal/NVG scopes, and the items that are available essentially have identical duplicates in most cases meaning that a significant number of attachments are cosmetic in a sense. There is also no scoreboard, no VOIP, no squad switching, to setting a squad leader or battlefield commander, no persistent leaderboards, etc.

    Content (what’s there that shouldn’t be):

    Specialists... look, they aren't terrible, and apart from two of them who have excessively powerful anti-vehicle/air capabilities, they are relatively well balanced. But it’s clear that this game originally was meant to be some kind of Apex/Fortnite/Overwatch hell-spawn. And it seems that EA got cold feet about it and then tried to pivot back to an actual Battlefield title last year. And boy does it show. The character design reeks of the uncanny valley, and the end-round quips might be some of the worst cringe-inducing garbage I’ve ever seen in a video game. Against the backdrop of a literal climate apocalypse, you have these “No-Pats” (non-patriated mercenaries) working for either the US or the Russians because they have literally lost everything, quipping like a bunch of idiot Twitch streamers. It’s awful.

    Map design:

    Most maps are poorly implemented. Ground-unit conflict points are too far away from each other. You can spend a third of the match just trying to from waypoint to waypoint in this game. Levolution is sparse, and poorly implemented. There are random tornadoes, which don’t do anything other than suck up players and spit them back out to parachute back into play. I’d rather play BF4’s Siege of Shanghai on permanent repeat than any of these maps.

    The Ugly

    Gameplay:

    It’s a shooter with absolutely garbage hit-registration, further complicated by an insane amount of bloom, that was either included to reduce the skill gap or added as a quick fix to issues in the beta. It’s also incredibly imbalanced. It plays like a failed shooter from a decade ago.

    Bugs:

    There is no way to sugar-coat this. People are having a myriad of issues, including, but not limited to:

    - Loadouts not working requiring leaving games altogether
    - Revives not working
    - The game crashing for no reason
    - Glitchy visuals that don't provide proper feedback about what is happening right in front of you
    - Getting stuck in a downed state and being unable to be revived or to respawn
    - Spawning on your team but with the opposing team’s colors and indicators

    UI:

    Aside from the new “plus” weapon attachment menu, which works well for in-game attachment switching, it’s an unmitigated disaster. There is so much having to move in and out of specific US pages just to accomplish a handful of things, particularly trying to switch your weapon attachments, that it makes you not want to do it at all. You can’t even see who’s in your party in the game menus without having to click on a tab to go to the “social” tab, instead of having persistent squad details section in one of the corners of the screen. Worse still is the Lead UI programmer going onto Twitter and commending their team for a job well done and then hiding behind complaints of harassment when the user-base came back with questions and ideas.

    Final thoughts: I cannot stress enough that you stay away from this game at launch. It’s not worth $60. It needs massive fixes just to make the game playable as a shooter.    … Expand

    There's no global chat, which takes away the social aspect of this game. No more gg's after a good match, no more acknowledging someone after a nice kill or a dogfight, no more issuing weird challenges to the other team, no more discussing a new map or whatever. Now it's like playing against bots, not humans.

    There's no classes. I want to play as a generic soldier on a Battlefield, against other generic soldiers. Not as some cartoon character against other (mostly same looking) characters. This is a truly idiotic change.

    You can't choose squads either. I mean... I don't even... what? Who in their right mind would even implement a "system" like this?

    On top of all this, movement, gunplay, vehicles all feel off and very unlike previous games. Heli's and jets don't feel like you're flying (why didn't they just copy the dynamics from BF4 which was perfect?), gunplay is terrible, movement feels ridiculous... the list goes on and on.

    I don't even care about bugs at launch because I know they can be patched. However, this whole game seems to have been built by people who have no idea what the fanbase wants, and no idea what Battlefield has always been about.

    That's why this will be the first Battlefield I'm not buying. I had such high hopes for the game, but I don't think the game could be salvaged with patches (even if they tried, which they obviously won't).    … Expand

    The amount of missing features and bugs are staggering. Map design is poor with no cover, no flow and little meaningful destruction. Do not buy.

    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. Conquest feels as lively as it ever did despite the Ayer increase and Breaththrough is a chaotic mess. Not a good look, DICE, but then again,    Not what it used to be

The end of game quotes (also in Portal) are so cringe that it seems like a kid wrote them. They removed classes and replaced them with specialists. Team work is replaced with a free-for-all chaos that felt more like knockoff of COD than a BF game. Very few weapons and most of the attachments have the same effects but just look different The maps (while looking nice at times) had awful flow and design.

    This was my experience with the game. I felt really ripped off as I paid $155 in order to play a week early and it turned out to be a complete disaster. I am really glad I got a refund. What happened Dice? All we wanted was a BF game. Not whatever this is    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are so many issues but the thing that is the biggest and most frustrating issue of all is the fact they put BLOOM into this game. That on top of all the other issues has turned into me playing a total of two hours, not having fun, and not touching it since. BF2 was phenomenal after a rocky start, BF3 was phenomenal after a rocky start, BF4 was phenomenal after a rocky start, BF1 was good but ultimately limited, and BF5 was horrid from the start. So with all that being said they have a good track record and I'm willing to give them a chance to correct this game and make it great but if they don't then I may just retire the franchise just like I have with COD.… Expand

In its current state, the game is quite a disappointment. The game has some game-breaking bugs, like being stuck on the revive screen or not being able to switch weapons, but I guess that is what to be expected from a Battlefield launch. More importantly, I feel like there is not a lot of content in the game, with there being very few weapons, maps, and game modes. The entire experience feels like a 90's retro game, where you press x to play, drop into a random server, play a round and then play another round at another random server. It feels very limiting and it greatly limits social interaction between players. The portal mode could be interesting, but what is available at launch is nothing but a heavily trimmed-down version of the older titles. I can't help but wonder if it was included to make up for what else would be the equivalent of a mediocre free-2-play title.… Expand

    There is nothing Battlefield about this title. It’s a failed attempt to jump on the CoD Warzone/Operator, Apex One, and Fortnite bandwagon. Do yourself a favor and read all the missing features on Reddit before deciding to buy. DICE is a joke now, instead of implementing core features we love about battlefield they decided to focus on cheesy specialists and out of place voice lines.There is nothing Battlefield about this title.

    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.
