    After several updates, this game is good now. You should give it a try! Graphics are nice, new weapons and characters give more options to player. After playing mw2 for weeks and getting back to battlefield, I can say that I enjoy bf 2042 than mw2.

    Don't go into 128 player mode and the game is great. I hope the game gets better, I even liked everything except 128 players. Specialists great idea and diversity, breathes new life into the battlefield. PLEASE DON'T QUIT 2042 FINISH IT, YOU HAVE A FUTURE.

    I honestly like the game, Sure it has his issues but its gonna be fixed, and in comparation with Bf3 and 4 launches, this Game is very good... i hate the Internet nowadays where a small thing is reason for a 0. Kids and frustrated people just come up with this... as a 38 years old man and long time BF Fan, trust me, this game is Good

    It's funny to watch people with 1050ti and i3 give the game 0 out of 10, are you guys serious? On my 2070 super and Ryzen 5 3600, 70-80 fps are stable at high settings in FullHD, those who complain about the maps, guys, learn to play, do not rush, but do not sit still like campers, and even more so, is it really so difficult to wait until November 19th and get the first day patch

    Очень добротный Battlefield?
    Да, именно так, несмотря на странную оценку пользователей.
    Хорошее развитие серии, в котором есть контент для любителей любого Battlefied, для вечно ноющих что раньше было лучше portal, hazard zon как напряженное и динамичное сессионное развлечение в силу низкого ттк и постоянного сражения с врагами, All-out-warfare как развитие идей battlefield. К    Очень добротный Battlefield?
    Да, именно так, несмотря на странную оценку пользователей.
    Хорошее развитие серии, в котором есть контент для любителей любого Battlefied, для вечно ноющих что раньше было лучше portal, hazard zon как напряженное и динамичное сессионное развлечение в силу низкого ттк и постоянного сражения с врагами, All-out-warfare как развитие идей battlefield.

    К стрельбе были претензии в бете, из за низкой отдачи, отдачу поправили теперь.

    Ощущение и передвижение персонажа очень походит на warzone(modern warfare(2019)), не думаю что это большая проблема, для современного милитари шутера это скорее плюс, ибо позаимствована она довольно хорошо.

    Войс-чата нет, хотя разработчики уже написали что он выйдет в ближайших обновлениях.

    Браузер серверов со всем контентом уехал в портал, он никуда не пропал как пишут некоторые пользователи.

    Баги так или иначе пофиксят, они слишком много денег ввалили в эту игру-сервис. Оптимизацию так же подвезут по той-же, на мой взгляд причине.

    Контент наверняка будет завезен с 1м сезоном.

    Как мне кажется это очень удачное продолжение battlefield, возможно в последствии hazard-zone станет бесплатным, добавят скины, батлпасы, контента накинут, ивенты завезут.
    Из этого Battlefield EA будут очень долго качать деньги, по модели проверенной warzone.

    Мои личные ощущения на 9 из 10, эта игра явно не хуже 6 из 10 все что ниже 6 это нытье ради нытья... как мне кажется.

    A very solid Battlefield?
    Yes, that's right, despite the strange user assessment.
    A good development of the series, in which there is content for fans of any Battlefied, for always whining what used to be better portal, hazard zon as a tense and dynamic session entertainment due to low ttk and constant battle with enemies, All-out-warfare as a development of battlefield ideas.

    There were complaints about shooting in beta, due to low recoil, recoil has now been corrected.

    The feeling and movement of the character is very similar to warzone (modern warfare (2019)), I don't think this is a big problem, for a modern military shooter it is rather a plus, because it is borrowed quite well.

    There is no voice chat, although the developers have already written that it will be released in the next updates.

    The server browser with all the content went to the portal, it did not disappear anywhere, as some users write.

    Bugs will be fixed one way or another, they have poured too much money into this game-service. Optimization will also be brought up for the same reason, in my opinion.

    The content will probably be delivered with the 1st season.

    It seems to me that this is a very successful continuation of the battlefield, perhaps later the hazard-zone will become free, they will add skins, battle passes, content will be thrown, events will be delivered.
    From this Battlefield EA will be pumping money for a very long time, according to the model of the proven warzone    … Expand

    Thoroughly enjoying this game. It reminds me of BF4, but with more action. Small fights throughout a hectic, chaotic 128 player massive Battle. Really enjoying the specialists and the different aspects they bring to the game. Tactical squad play with friends is fantastic. Needs some work on community servers, joining, squad grouping, scoreboards and some other stats.

    I seriously don't understand why people are crapping so much on BF 2042. Sure, the game is missing features and has bugs, but I wouldn't be too worried seeing as BF4 had an even WORSE launch, and it ended up being the best game in the series. Give this game a year, then decide your final rating.

    10/10 Review:

    Hear me out veterans. I was just as loud and as unhappy as most of you here.

    And then I started my trial. Was fuming by the end of my 3 hours.

    Fast forward to almost being done with the 10 hr trial and I realized I've had more (new) fun in 2042 recently than I can care to remember.

    I'll take no scoreboard to not being able to try out a chopper because of sweaty pilots hogging them.

    2042 is flawed and I'll only be playing Espinoza to spite EA and will not be spending a penny more than $53.99 because I really think this is a worthy experiment from DICE to (maybe) truly evolve the series.

    I'm in because 2042 still provides that adrenaline rush you get with vehicular combat.

    Won't be sad to see all those pledging to abandon the series go because I still see them sh*t talking in the game chat instead of you know, PTFO.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    3/10 Review:

    I might as well have been dropped into the middle of No Man's Land in Red Dead.

    Running simulator extraordinaire.

    So purdy and yet so empty. Just like the broads running around on Insta today.

    I know the series is supposed to evoke the sense of being on an actual battlefield, but this is still supposed to be a game, yes? Or, are we gonna start turning this into some survival/sim type game where I gotta stop and pull out an MRE and cook it too?

    The prettiest UI and none of it tells me what I want.

    Feeling lost, overwhelmed and bored is definitely groundbreaking for this series.

    Gonna finish out the remaining 7 hrs for lolz, unsubscribe from EA Play and wipe my SSD down with an alcohol wipe before setting it on fire. Just to be sure.    … Expand

    So people use metacritic to complain. But if you want an honest review:
    - Its a really fun battlefield game. The all-out warfare is impressive (64 vs 64) but choatic. You will end up dying alot because you really need to have eyes on your back. Breaktrough is fun mode, but being 'the attackers' is just tough love.

    - Portal offers many choice. I love to go back to the WW2 era. The old but new maps like El-Alamein is reliving my childhood fantasy.
    - If you read that people are complaining about having only 4 assault rifles... Its just something to flame on. Why would 4 assault rifles be bad? Who says they won't add more later ? Like CoD does. People judge this game too quickly.
    - People complaining about PC performances; people think that their 2060/2070 is state of the art hardware and expect to have no problems running this game. What people forget is that having 128 players in a server, means it will ask more processing power from your system. You cannot compare this with a 12 man tdm server on call of duty. Like in World of Warcraft, I get 400 fps. But once there are 200 people in my screen and casting spells, i guarentee you, my fps will drop to 20 and everything will feel like a powerpoint slideshow. Its not only about hardware and optimalisation. Its a compromis you have to make if you want big all-out warfare. So stop comparing "But i get 200 fps on BF:V and i get only 70 fps on BF2042, this game is bad and badly optimized so i will leave a 1 star review").

    What could improve:
    - Few bugs (mostly on xbox) could be fixed like; UI bug which doesnt allow you to change gear, joining a crashed server (it shows the round has ended but a new map wont load) and when you die, you sometimes get bugged and cant respawn. Dice should give these bugs piority as it influences gameplay alot. Minor bugs like falling through the map after dieing... i consider this normal if you compare that there are 64 vs 64 people shooting at eachother which all kind of tanks and airplanes.
    - Remove bots. Really DICE, I truely stand behind many of your choices, but the bot thing... I understand but no.
    - Weapon handle; aiming is really difficult with for example assault rifle. Even shooting short bursts make it sometimes seem impossible to kill while on the other hand, i feel like dieing instantly when enemy shoots at me.

    What you should ignore:
    - People complaining about no scoreboard; BF2042 tends to motivate people to push objective. It doesn't matter how you contribute to it. If you are the sniper staying behind, the medic that attacks or the heli that brings down hell on your enemy. Scoreboards dont tribute anything to it. Having scoreboards in other BF always led to discussion and complaining about a person when he was really good with airplanes or tanks (you could easily get 40 kills - 0 deaths). I can remember the hate and crying you would get and people call you cheater etc.
    - It tried something new with specialist. I like'd the old class system better as well. It was much more clearer somehow. But after playing more than 20 hours you get the hang of it and you see the point they are trying to make. Yet people complain just because it is a change and they don't like change.
    - I am really happy about no voice option.     … Expand

    2.3, the current user score is far too low when I write this. This game is much better and is generally being undersold. For example, I would bet big money that those writing a poor review for this game have not spent over 24 hours playing it. At first glance, yes, the game looks terrible. However, after playing it past 24 hours, I enjoy this game. Why?
    1. Choices. This game offers a vast number of play styles and choices. Want to fly in the air or travel on the ground? Do you want to fight solo or support a team by being a medic? Want to fight up close or far in the distance using a sniper rifle?

    2. The maps are great. They are massive, with enough for 128 people having 5-6 mini battles throughout.

    3. Talking here only for the PC servers, since I have not checked out the cross-servers, this game's skill level is very high. Many highly talented players play this game, and you are sure to find competition at ALL levels. Think you are the best in the game? You will very likely find another player with your skill level or higher.

    4. I think the graphics are amazing. Battlefield 2042 has incredible artists making the clouds in the game - yes, the clouds. I think the mountains and all the nature bits of the game are fantastic and artistic. Running through the forests and mountain ranges alone is... actually fun.

    Take it from me - I have died probably more than anyone else in this game. However, it is STILL fun to play. The gaming community is underselling this game... and frankly makes it a rare gem. If you buy this game, try and play it long enough and be humble.

    UPDATE several months later: The flaws of this game:
    1. Scoreboard only includes your squad and not everyone in the game. It does compare your squad with other squads, but that is not accurate of individual performance.

    2. I found I have to play cross-platform in order to play. If I play only with PC users, there can be instances where there are not enough players to start a game.

    3. This game is riddled with bugs. Some bugs are easy to live with, but several bugs crash the game. I have heard of people getting stuck and having to redeploy. I have heard of people getting stuck in the sky or the earth. I have had it that all players and vehicles become invisible for a long time, and only their guns are seen. These bugs continue and, in some way, are getting worse in the game since its launch months ago.

    4. There is no way to play nonviolently. Every aspect leads to violence for anyone that wants to chill out in this game and relax - probably not the game for you.

    5. In the in-game chat, I have heard racist remarks. Swearing is consistent amongst users, but this is **** starred out.

    6. This game is competitive. If you are playing to have fun, get ready for abusive language about your performance in the chat.

    7. Overall, the community is low in this game. Either nobody is chatting, or there is some argument happening. Trolling is pretty consistent in this game's gaming community.    … Expand

    While there is a server browser for Portal I would like to see one for the main 2042 gamemode as well. Would also like for the game wide scoreboard to make a comeback, as it’s nice to know how other players are doing even if the list would be huge for 128 player matches.

    Personally I have never enjoyed or finnished the campaigns of the previous games. They always felt a bit tacked on. So this time I appreciate that the resources that would otherwise have been spend on that have now been dedicated to make the Portal game mode which is almost like another game on its own!

    Right now I would give the whole package a 8/10, but over time I would expect it to rise to a 9/10 rating once updates start rolling out with fixes and new content.    … Expand

    portal itself has been awesome, some of the bullet spread of weapons has been questionable but the maps remastered are great and the ability to create wild game modes is in full swing you just have to go and find them.

    hazard zone has been a surprising amount of fun, very difficult but very rewarding all the same, its pretty shallow and i have 1300 hours in escape from tarkov so this is very very shallow by comparison but its a side mode to complement portal and conquest and im ok with that, brings my boys together for some proper team work and its ok, i like it.

    the main conquest is as it has been for a few years now which is chaotic and crazy, the new maps i like, reminds me of the big maps in BF2 and that encourages sticking closer to your team mates and using transport, they all have their hot zones and filter points and as long as your pc can handle it the action stays smooth enough to have a good game.

    its far from a solid 10, but its in no way a 1/2/3, absolutely no way. its a bit of a mess but there is a good game in here with potential, the hate for EA is justified though, its quite clear its another game pushed out of the door when it needs another 6 months on the burner but im still having a good time with it, i realize that's rare and its in such a mess who knows what your experience may be like, for that reason it might be wise to wait on some patches and polish but i still think its a good game in general.    … Expand

If you're a longtime "veteran" of the franchise (talking refractor engine days, BF2 for example) you'll come to appreciate the massive sense of scale that was missing from the series is back. You can't just run to every single objective on the map and zerg, you're expected to use vehicles and actually defend captured points! The days of solocapping flags with no interference are gone! 128 players makes for some wild action movie gameplay moments that was simply not possible with 64 players. I thought the tornado was just another gimmick like Levolution in BF4 but it's dynamic in it's path and rare to see, adding to the visual presentation of the game. Destruction is on par with BFV and is visually superior in some cases. Smoke effects especially on the rocket launch are breathtaking. All the bar pushing visuals you'd expect from a frostbite Battlefield are present. Hazard Zone is a nice take on a tarkov like mode but it needs more meat, there is potential there. Portal is the love letter to fans that dice claimed it would be, I just hope it gets continued support and we get to see more refractor games in the mix. MEC remastered? DICE plz. There are gameplay concerns in this early stage, specialists don't seem as bad as people made it out to be but I'm unsure of where the meta will go as more are added. Will every specialist remain useful in time? The weapon count in the AOW mode is unfortunately low for my liking. Don't necessarily need BF4s reskined guns with the same stats but a few more weapons with actual variety would be helpful. The plus system is also a nice spin on customization but it's somewhat clunky at the moment. Then there's things like supposed sbmm, the lack of a scoreboard, weird weapon spread when moving, or no server browser on AOW etc. These are things that need to be addressed immediately for the long-term health of the game. I don't agree with many other reviews or opinions you may see where they think these things will plummet the game into oblivion, there's just too many positives weighing those issues down. This isn't a BF4 catastrophe, lawsuit filing level launch, not even close to that and anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or wasn't around back then. I truly believe when the dust settles and more meat is added this game will at the very least surpass BF4.… 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.
