    Battlefield 2042 is a pretty good game. Yes, many people are not liking it due to bugs & performance issues, which I completely agree with, The game needs polishing and updates to make it better. Personally, I have played the game for quite a bit now & gave me an enjoyable time.

I have 30 hours into it and enjoy it yes the bugs and some gunplay can be a little aggravating I recommend trying the 10 hour trail and deciding for yourself as reviews are not the best place these days to see how games actually are as most reviews are just rage, trolling or a cesspool review bomb spewing from r/battlefield2042 and at present it can be pretty hard on your system and needs some optimization. For me it runs fairly well at 5120X1440 on a 3090 and a 5950x at 132fps others mileage will vary.

    I would also like to mention how rough Battlefield 3 and 4's launches were this has been pretty smooth with little crashes. Hazard zone is not bad but slower and portal is a good way to relive the glory days or make something new with the rules editor.

    Yes, there are a lot of bugs in this game, but this is **** early access, so what's the point of picking on them? On my system with an i5 10400f + RX6600XT it works fine at 1080p 60-120 fps depending on the level (map). Yes, there are problems with the load on the video card, but why bloat a game with such problems in Early Access?
    DICE guys, I gave you a 10, but promise me to add more

    After 5 days of playing the early access and over 45 hours of play time, all I can say is that the game is nothing short of amazing, everything about what makes the battlefield franchise so good got better:

    - having to pick a specific class and being locked to a set of weapon is no longer the case, instead the specialist system give more freedom to mix and match whatever you feel like
    After 5 days of playing the early access and over 45 hours of play time, all I can say is that the game is nothing short of amazing, everything about what makes the battlefield franchise so good got better:

    - having to pick a specific class and being locked to a set of weapon is no longer the case, instead the specialist system give more freedom to mix and match whatever you feel like playing.

    - The graphics are truly a showcase of what next gen is all about, the attention to details is outstanding, after finding the right settings and having a descent computer, the game is perfectly smooth. The world feels alive, the ray traced ambiant occlusion adds depth to the world, draw distance is just breathtaking considering the staggering amount of geometry.

    - the dynamic weather system drastically shift the tone of the game, you'd be fighting in bright daylight and a few minute later under a heavy storm or the rain. It set the scene for epic fights.

    - the game is more squad focused, instead of having a scoreboard, the highlight is now your overall squad position, you can see your squad it at any time and at the end of the game you see how well your squad did compared to others

    - there progression system is very well balanced, every weapon have its own mastery, you unlock new barrels, sight, ammo and grip with each new level. Vehicules also have the the same types of unlock, meaning each tanks or helicopter is different depending on what the player choses to equip.

    - the gun play managed to hit the perfect balance between too arcade without any recoil, such as abusing spraying, and too strict such as what some tactical shooters have with recoil patterns and player velocity influencing the accuracy. Each guns feels very unique and the sound effects really give them a heavy metallic/heavy impact feel.

    - 128 players all out conquest is stunning, starting a game and looking around gives you the impression of being part of something big about to happen, and to be honest, every game end up delivering on this promise: planes flying across the battlefield, rocket passing by, cars jumping from hills, buildings being destroyed, wing suit rushing through the sky and so on, literally everywhere you look, some trailer worthy action is happening

    - crossplay is finally here! the bf community is now unified. This was a long awaited feature, the days of browsing custom servers to find a proper game with enough players are gone, now the matchmaking is instead, in literally 10s of search, you are matched in a full game with 128 players.

    - DICE even threw in a freebie for those feeling nostalgic, you can now play older maps with older load out if you wanna take a break from regular conquest!

    This is just the tip of the iceberg and I could go on and on saying what amazes me about this new entry in the franchise, Dice really did an amazing job and managed to deliver a product up to my expectations while keeping the bf tradition alive. This is indeed a love letter to BF fans and you can tell by the amount of work that went into creating this masterpiece.
    Anyone who don't see it is probably too busy actively hating by looking for flaws, listening to rant opinion on YouTube or simply following a meta opinion given to them instead of spending time on the battlefield. If you want to spend countless hours having fun, do yourself a favor and buy this game!

    The best Battlefield of the series.
    People who don't like it, look for the scoreboard. and why she wants to feel satisfied in the game, because she probably isn't in real life.
    People who are used to playing COD, where the single score makes the difference.
    forget these clowns, it's the best Battllefield in the series, and I've been playing since Battlefield 1942.

    Battlefield 2042 brings the sandbox back to the series in bold and controversial ways. The new Specialist system might seem like sacrilege at first, but it opens up gameplay opportunities that weren’t possible in previous titles. The massive, well-designed maps offer plenty of room for experimentation and emergent stories, and the modes are a blast. And that’s just All-Out Warfare.

It’s a true evolution of the series, one that pushes back against a stagnation that threatened the series’ future.

    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.

The team behind this should be awarded for allowing graphics and gameplay this advanced work on any device with perfect performance.

Once i upgraded my cpu from i5 2500k to ryzen 5 5600g i went from 20-30 fps unplayable mess to 80+ fps, but im at 1366x768 but i have seen people get 60fps with my setup at 1080p.

    Also the game is great, balance is so much better than Battlefield 4, no JDAM Cancer (yes i used jdams in bf4, but **** that **** for overall gameplay) and patches are coming out to get better performance and improve game, alot of problems have allready been fixed. Also the graphics are nice, even on low it is the best graphics i have seen from any game. 128 players franctly is amazing, the amount of fire and action really makes you feel on the battlefield, some objectives need optimizing, but really its a step in the right direction. The class optimization is great, allowing you to change attachments in game.

    (the graphics looked terrible on my old system, for some reason when you have a higher end system the hardware allows the graphics to shine, dont ask me why, but im guessing its something to do with texture processing)

    -The balance in this game is great, with so many lock on weapons, mostly everything has the right amount of damage applied.

    -Helicopters arent near invincible like in previous titles, can be locked on using ground based weapons alot easier, . Such a good idea considering in bf4 the helicopters could survive a very long time and be quite hard to hit as a ground player.

    -Gunplay is fun.

    -No game breaking microtransactions to speak of as of writing this review. Or i may have missed it but i didnt notice it while customizing my loadouts, thier was like 5 skins available for each loadout with normal versions and like 10 with ultimate, so you have to buy ultimate to get better rewards and the likes, but compeletely optional.

    -Portal, what a great idea, and fun to play. I hope they bring more classic maps from all those games, exspecially 1942 for me.

    Cons:
    - Weapon aim at range can be somewhat hard to hit other players, but small iissue really
    - Didnt get rid of Jdams entirely, instead it takes alot longet to kill which is great, but just annoying for ground vehicles, why cant thier just be a anti armor secondary that is free aim then it solves the problem, but much better now than in battlefield 4.
    - The bugs at launch, but alot has been ironed out, for example turret glitchiing and elevators etc, all minor issues, and quite amusing at first, but they are better removed.

    Time will tell, all the initial bad reviews were down to the bugs, and performance, shame it wasnt released later because now all these people going to have a sour taste in their mouth. Anyway the player base is still healthy.

    Anyway thats just a basic summary, but id recommend it to any old players and new alike of the battlefield series and fps in general.

    Oh don't get me started on the awesome map cycle and disabling the ability to be able to see a full list of official servers so I'm not sitting in a lobby for half an hour waiting for a game to start. Oh thank goodness they disabled that because if not my blood pressure would go through the roof, the accessibility and user friendly experience would be just too much for someone with a heart condition to handle.

    Oh I almost forgot to mention, you can't actually repair in a nightbird did you know that? Oh thank goodness because we don't want to help our team in any way shape or form. Oh and still no communication ability!!! My god the ability to communicate with your squad and inform them of critical situations would be such a waste of coding talent. DICE has done such a fantastic job, if you like being frustrated 100% of the time you MUST BUY THIS GAME! Oh the next best part is no new content for a year! Love it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

It looks so much better, than previous BF titles. Another great thing is Portal mode, where you can set virtual servers (kinda like those paid ones before, but for free). You can choose maps (also many classical ones - fully redone), different modes and basically all variables. It's really great to play true hardcore mode once again. And EAC anti-cheat is working!

The gunplay is near perfect, the vehicles are amazing, the visuals are second to none, the levels are massive and entertaining. 0 rating is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
    - 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.
    - More destruction would be nice.
    - More weapons would be very welcomed.

    Most people nowadays complain for anything... The game is still in early access and patches are already in the way. Better leave the reviews for people that is their job. That's why games can't go forward, cuz people still going backward. If you don't want bugs and glitches, play old games that wasn't complicated to make, and with retro graphics

It has is a return to the dna that made BF2, BFBC, BF3, and BF4 such memorable and unique experiences. While not perfect, the game has launched in a better state than most of it’s predecessors and with nearly limitless replayability and gameplay customization through Battlefield Portal.

    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

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.

    Aside from the typical DICE launch/prelaunch buginess this game pushes the bar forward for Battlefield and the FPS scene in general.

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

    I'll start with the things that i dislike and the reason why they didn't receive 10/10. The hit reg of guns is currently in an appalling state
    Right, so a lot of people are talking about frame rate issues, stuttering, rubber banding. Firstly, I cannot say i'm experiencing the first two but rubber-banding is an issue that has been drastically reduced since the start of the pre-release.

    I'll start with the things that i dislike and the reason why they didn't receive 10/10. The hit reg of guns is currently in an appalling state for ARs and Marksman rifles. It is that bad that guns such as SMGs are winning gunfights from short to long-range against guns such as ARs. This however has been noticed by devs as they are working on a fix to a 'bloom' related issue.

    There are other bugs such as hovercrafts acting badly. But to me this is not a bug that i dislike as it makes the game more fun. Like how is a flying hovercraft causing anyone any problems? Battlefield to me is a sandbox war game so things like this make it more enjoyable. Like trying to get a hovercraft up the stairs to hold from inside a building.

    The rest of the gameplay feels fun and enjoyable. The maps are huge but the player can spawn in vehicles to get around easier. I personally found it more enjoyable to stay near one set of objectives and attack/defend these as this makes the game more exciting.

    Some people are finding the bugs unbearable.. but they don't really phase me at all. This could be due to the fact that I play Star Citizen, so I think i've managed to build up a patience for them...

    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.
