    Best shooter. I waited for him after the fourth part and finally waited. no part came out without technical problems. In a couple of years, she will be brought into an ideal state. I expected a much worse state of the game at the start. I played 24 hours in one weekend. And I can't stop.

    Still a decent and solid game though and i had so much fun. Although optimization is one of the biggest issue in Battlefield 2042 with frame rate drops, stuttering. But at least way better than the beta.

    Probably the best Battlefield since BF2, and that's saying something considering BF3 was phenomenal.
    Switching up the formula to specialists instead of classes makes the gameplay more interesting and dynamic. You'll never get bored.

    My favourite battlefield game, graphics are amazing runs well on ps5, no bugs, lots of only in battlefield moments. Amazing game. I have played every game from Bc2 to this. Only thing that could be improved in my opinion is the progression system and more weapons. When you get xp with a Ar you should unlock more Ar’s not get a new Lmg if you level up. Battlefield is back.

BF2042 is fun. A real gameplay improvement over past Battlefields simply because of quality of life gameplay improvements such as vehicle drops and being able to change load outs on the fly. It’s a good game because it allows you to mix different eras of Battlefield bringing some of the best maps, vehicles and weapons from past games. Meta critic user ratings has lost its value because people use them just as a way to criticize specific companies and provide a completely emotional and biased review. Many didn’t even buy the game and played the final version. There are people giving reviews of the beta. What’s the value in that? I see people giving high praises to previous Battlefield titles that had a pretty low user score. So whenever a new Battlefiled title comes out it seems previous titles are great games while the latest release is the worst Battlefield ever. Let’s be clear about what is actually bad or needs improvement.
    - Some things are or feel unfinished in BF2042. There is no voice comm for starters that is so needed for squad gameplay and that was clearly left out in order to release the game on schedule.
    - There are no scoreboards as in previous games. I understand why but there should be an option to enable them. The reason not to use scoreboards to motivate players is indeed logical. Battlefield games are not like COD. They are focused on theaters of war where everyone big or small contributes to win or lose in countless ways. In past Battlefield games there were players that were constantly on the top of the scoreboard for some arbitrary logic. Either they were a medic healing everyone and getting lots of points. Or they are sniping killing everyone from a well protected position thus ending the match with a great K/D ratio. And so on and on. Meanwhile there is this guy that has been transporting troops from one point to the other. Or focusing in defending a couple of points that gets a low score. Like it or not that low score removes the fun and sense of achievement. So in BF2042 Dice decided to instead give more focus to how players contributed in the overall match than a typical scoreboard. Most heals, most covering fire and so on. It’s a good approach considering the type of game but choice is something that should always be a priority. Dice should focus on bringing scoreboards back and giving people the choice to enable it or not. A valid point of criticism is also that without a scoreboard or a team overview so to speak its hard to know if a server is balanced. Or if there are too many specialists of a certain kind. There is a small advantage for not having a scoreboard. In previous Battlefields once people noticed a team was losing and players were starting to quit the game, more people quit making it harder for the losing team to recover. Keeping players ignorant is sometimes the best choice.
    Some people are complaining about no classes. That I don’t understand. In each Battlefield and COD game people criticize in how it’s always the same and they need to evolve. Well they evolved. The new system does bring an additional flavor to the game. Does has advantages over past games. Specifically the fact that you can better tailor your character to how you want to play instead of the old class system that forced you to use a limited loadout depending on the class you chose. In BF2042 the loadout is fully customizable. Your not limited by a fixed class. Specialists give you specific gadgets and passive traits that suit different people play styles without overpowering you. It is clearly better than past games. People resist to change but also complain if a game doesn’t evolve. If you search online for actual comparisons between the classes and the new specialist system you will see that those that took the time to compare it always end up with the conclusion that the new system is better.
    Performance wise the game needs improvement. Graphics are really good but not to the point that for some reason a RTX 3080 struggles to get 60 FPS with RTX ON. Also the lack of Ray traced reflections makes no sense. It’s a step back from what people expect. In any case the game runs fine and looks amazing with some minor tweaks.
    Some last notes. Environmental hazards, changing weather and gameplay conditions. Map flow and so on are usually left out from player reviews. The fact that there are so many weapons because you have content from different eras is also left out. So keep that in mind. All these things are positive things that are only available in BF2042. A clear evolution over past games.
    So given all the pros and cons I’m giving BF2042 a solid 8. It’s a good game that could be better with some improvements as detailed above. It brings enough progress to the formula to be considered better than some competitor games and even past games in the series.    … Expand

    - No scoreboard is retarded but if you hit tab a mini scoreboard comes up at least.
    - Voice chat with 64 other team mates would be dumb. With that being said, the kill-mic (when you can briefly communicate with your enemy after a death) is always a good time.

    I actually changed my score from 1 to 9 because in the beginning was a tough start for DICE and EA but it seems like many changes were made after millions of updates and the game actually became more like than ugly.
    I think DICE and EA decide to go the right way with battle passes and seasons but for sure many things they need to accomplish for future success.

    I don't get all the hate from people who can't stand a single change from previous titles. This game is ton of fun, visualy it can be very impressive as well. There is some annoying bugs here and there and the optimisation needs to be worked on, but really nothing terrible as some people would like to make it seems.

    In my opinion, people are definitely exaggerating how bad this game is. Sure, it has it's issues, but I really don't think issues like lackluster performance, no chat, and no scoreboard merit all the 0s I've been seeing. I wouldn't be surprised if people are just review bombing at this point, even those who've never even played the game and just want to jump on the bandwagon of hate. FirstIn my opinion, people are definitely exaggerating how bad this game is.

I wouldn't be surprised if people are just review bombing at this point, even those who've never even played the game and just want to jump on the bandwagon of hate. First of all, the specialists aren't all that bad. I know the class system is miles better, but some of the specialist abilities can lead to some pretty awesome moments and plays. Also, a specialist system will likely lead to more content being released over time, which will keep the player base more engaged.
    Second, the environments are actually decently destructible, it's just the maps people have been playing on don't have much to offer in terms of buildings and things like that. I've also seen a lot of people complaining about the lack of chat, but really, not many people talk to randoms in battlefield games, or at least that what I've noticed, and when you want to talk with your friends, just use something else like discord. The sound quality will likely better anyway. However, there are definitely
    some pretty glaring that are pretty impossible to ignore. The first is weapon variety. Only about 23 guns in the main game is pretty pathetic. I know most of the guns are in portal but I would have gladly waited another half year to at least have more than 4 ARs to choose from. Also, the servers suck pretty hard and the lack of scoreboard really annoys me. But overall, I think people are seriously over-hating a game that is actually really fun at it's core.    … Expand

This game however has a small annoying flaw. The game design of the game seemed very attractive to me and in my opinion it is a ver or too bad there wasn't a campaign that would have been spectacular.

I honestly prefer the new system of no classes as I can run the load-out I want with the operator that fits my play style. I think the only think holding this game back are more maps and weapons. If you're debating on whether or not to get the game do it. Great job DICE!… Expand

People wont like changes in a franchise, but once people get used to it the game will be beloved in the community, especially after some much needed bug fixed.

    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.
