    Biggest disappointment in gaming. Huge fan of all the battlefield games, they absolutely butchered everything that made the battlefield franchise great. Wouldn’t be surprised if 2042 lost support and the game dies in a couple months.

I plaid now more than 50 hours to make a good review. Let's put all bugs, glitches and balance problems aside and see what remains:

    Negative:

    - The killed the whole teamplay. I am not able to know who is medic, ammo guy etc. Squads are useless and only good as a spawn point.
    - They killed all options we need for a good gaming experience: Squad switch/create/lock, Scoreboard
    - Who the hell had the idea to NOT integrate a server browser? I dont want to play random maps. I want to join my favorite servers with my favorite map, friends and settings.
    - No more ingame chat for the whole server? Who smoked too much pot before doing this decision? Its a multiplayer game, i want to laugh and talk with my enemy players about funny situations in the chat!
    - Dice/EA decided to delete ALL strong features from the past, which we loved and hoped that they will enhance them instead of deleting them:
    --- no proper damage to buildings / no falling of buildings and leave a mess and add a "new area" for playing
    --- no commander mode (would be amazing especially the player increased to 128)
    --- the levelution was great in the past, it created a new level inside the level. Dice decided to skip that and insert some Tornado which is just annoying after a while
    --- Battlefield V had a great system to build sandbags, road blocks etc. It gave the game more depth and something to support ur team even you are not shooting. Guess what, its not there anymore....
    --- Dice decided to delete what makes Battlefield special (the classes), instead we have specialists and everyone can pick all items. That some good decision? Not!
    - Battlefield 2042 doesnt have a character. Its a mix of marketing ideas, stacked together and thrown at the gaming audience.
    - Bots: we dont need bots in a multiplayer game. If people want to play against bots, they can play training mode or a singleplayer game.
    - Hazard Zone: tried it once. Will never play it again.
    - Battlefield Portal is a good idea but as i expected, it will not work out well: most servers are crap with settings you dont want to play. Then the second issue is, that if you find a good server, the chance is high that its not there anymore next time you want to play it. Cause the server are shutting down if nobody is playing on it. So you can not have a dedicaded server in ur favorite list where mostly the same people are playing together. Portal is for some fun modes for in-between. But nothing serious in the long run
    - Did i say that they killed the whole team- and squadplay ? ....

    -------

    Positive (reason i give 1 point for the score):

    - Awesome big maps. Gives you a great oldschool Battlefield atmosphere.
    - Graphics looks mostly amazing.
    - Good battle atmosphere. Thats what we love when it comes to Battlefield.    … Expand

    - Some attachments do the opposite of what the description gives.
    - XP disabled in custom portal games
    - Attachment progression disabled in AoW Solo / Squad matches.
    - Crashes and disconnects
    - Persistence data error that makes the game unplayable.
    - Only two modes on 7 maps for AoW that feels like you are playing wide open fields.
    - Control points in breakthrough mode on top of skyscrapers what can't be captured because there are 11 vehicles on top.
    - Hit registration, or lack there of. You will dump an entire clip into an enemies back to have them turn around and kill you.
    - You can get in a vehicle and shoot and kill yourself because the animation still has you outside of the vehicle.
    - Crap FPS on the highest end systems. Changing the settings makes virtually no difference.
    - No stats page
    - No server browser
    - Lobby disbands after every game, no carryover
    - No distinctions between factions except the glow stick colors. Soldiers around the world wear glow sticks to make themselves unseen to the enemy. Sometimes you see the Betty White specialist kill the other Betty White specialist who is then revived by the Betty White specialist.
    - When you spawn in you are forced into an animation of chambering a round that you can't avoid. If you spawn near an enemy, you are dead.
    - Not nearly enough destruction.
    - Can't change the scale of the UI, or the zoom of the minimap.
    - No all chat
    - No bullet damage on hit, this goes for vehicle hits too.
    - Finding yourself on the map or the mini-map can be... challenging.

    Jets are useless. Sundance is overpowered and the only operator worth using because you can fly for a very long time. The map design is atrociously bad. Open, flat maps with barely any cover - a running simulator. Gunplay is very bad - the bullets don't go where you are aiming at and the hitreg is pathetic. The gunplay in the beta was enjoyable but now it's broken. The sound in this game is also not doing it for me, something is missing. The game looks very bad on low on some maps.

    Overall very disappointed. The game added nothing new that is worth mentioning but we lost a million features. The game is trying to be Apex Legends, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch and a bit of Battlefield - all at the same time. Jack of all trades - master of none.

    Would not recommend. Save your money and revisit in 6++++ months, but even then, don't expect anything because the core of this game is rotten and they'll never commit to fixing that or admit that they should've delayed the game for 1 more year.    … Expand

    SI've put nearly 50 hours in already trying to love this game, but trying has made me downright depressed with the franchise I loved.
    Secondly and most importantly. The design decisions feel like some suits told a bunch of programmers to just include all the features of all the hot games right now.
    The specialist system is terrible. The removal of the ubiquitous class system is a travesty and removes one of the core ingredients of every battlefield game ingredients of every battlefield game. Making it so that anyone can equip any combination of weapons and equipment devalues squad planning and gameplay and promotes individual action over team action. The eight giddy happy-go-lucky personality characters removes from the epic feeling of a living breathing battlefield and turns everything you do into a silly joke. "I destroyed 16 vehicles that match? teehee dont be mad you just wish you were as good as me!"
    I miss the voice lines that sounded like actual war cries from a war zone. They also removed almost every feature that made battlefield an easy to navigate fun game that supported all types of people. Sure it has portal which is the only cool decision they made. But that doesn't account for how they've killed the actual feel of the franchise.
    This game has so many issues both in design and execution I could ramble on for hours.
    Move the specialist to hazard zone where they belong and make perfect sense but give us back our standard soldiers with minimal customization and light to moderate personality give us back classes so there are pros and cons to your decisions and you have to try to work with your team. We all had grown to love the rock paper scissors of different classes and different vehicles now everything just feels like a homogeneous hodgepodge of mediocrity.    … Expand

    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.

    Specialist System could have been fine, but it isn't implemented properly. Cringey voicelines. Comical characters that don't fit into the BF series.

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

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

    Anyone giving this game a rating for portal is being very disingenuous. Ratings for Portal belong on the games that 2042 copy and pasted from, not on 2042.

    As for 2042, at this point, don't buy this game. There are 5 major reasons, in my opinion, why a fan of Battlefield should not buy this game: 1) Hero characters instead of classes. Yes, Sundance's wingsuit is fun, and I'm glad    Anyone giving this game a rating for portal is being very disingenuous. Ratings for Portal belong on the games that 2042 copy and pasted from, not on 2042.

    As for 2042, at this point, don't buy this game. There are 5 major reasons, in my opinion, why a fan of Battlefield should not buy this game:

    1) Hero characters instead of classes.

    Yes, Sundance's wingsuit is fun, and I'm glad it's in the game. But the classes were what made Battlefield its own game, and not CoD. You play CoD for the mindless zerg-strat shoot em up matches, but Battlefield was always supposed to be about rewarding the strategy. Players who focused on a support role in the past would be amply rewarded, even though they didn't necessarily engage in much gunplay. That type of gameplay is what Battlefield has always been - until 2042.

    2) Gunplay issues.

    There have been tweets from devs about gunplay being fixed in the future, but we have absolutely no specifics as to what they plan on changing, or when they plan to make the changes. Some guns have virtually no bloom and virtually no recoil, while other guns are shooting all over the place. Gun fights right now are mostly about just getting lucky. A reticle on an enemy is no guarantee, even on the first shot.

    3) Maps are awkwardly large.

    The maps are clearly sized for a battle royale, where you can land, maybe engage in some combat, but then have some downtime before engaging with enemies who landed in other areas. This is where Sundance shines with the wingsuit. It's lots of running and lots of downtime. You could run for 5+ minutes in all of these maps and not even be close to another character. Some may see that as a positive, but I see that as a negative. In my opinion, shooters - whether strategy based or not - are still about conflicts. Having maps that are too large takes the conflict out of a game about war.

    4) Vehicles are way too heavily overturned.

    The hovercrafts are hilarious to drive, and guaranteed death if you run into one in the wild. Rockets are terrible, so infantry just have to hope their teammates are able to win aerial combat, which is a real struggle if the pilot is on PC due to the controls. So if you are a PC player who wants to play this game, make sure you remap to something more comfortable.

    5) Lack of transparency.

    The Day 1 patch was what many people looked to for some fixes to the gunplay, vehicles, or other random, gamebreaking bugs. A few bugs were fixed, but the gunplay, vehicles, and virtually every other random, gamebreaking bug remained in the game. There is no word as to what will be fixed in the next patch, or if any fixes may come sooner than expected, and we don't know what Dice is focused on fixing. Without knowing that they're focusing on the major issues in this game, there's no reason to actually buy this game.

    If you're going to remove dozens of features from your game franchise, and take out the single player to focus on multiplayer, you really have to hit a homerun. Falling back on the typical "Battlefield launches are always buggy!" doesn't work when a lot of the issues revolve around major game design decisions that cannot be patched out.

    With all of the negative parts out of the way, I'll end this with two ways to have fun in this game:

    1) Run with a full squad. The gunplay doesn't matter if it's 2v1, 3v1, or 4v1. You can overcome the horrible aiming systems, and terrible hit registration by multiplying the number of people shooting at the enemy.

    2) Use Sundance, and use SMGs. SMGs are currently broken, and the wingsuit is really fun. I wish it were a perk to use on a normal battlefield class instead of a hero character, but if EA just wants to make another version of CoD, at least they got one single thing working well.

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

    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.

    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

    This game needed 1 more year in development of simply fire the entire studio. Pandemic is never an excuse to deliver this garbage.

    What an incredibly bad game. I'm only giving it a 2 because of some interesting ideas like changing weapon attachments on the go and drones (controls barely work).

    Failed attempt to take COD players and left the Battlefield fans on the sidelines still waiting for a true Battlefield game. We all hope for fresh modern Battlefield title true to the franchise, but we all really knew that they would let us down.

Ive ran into few bugs, biggest one for me was not being able to revive my downed teamate for whatever reason. All out warfare and hazard zone are great in my opinion. I do feel some of the maps are too huge in scale, requiring you to travel very large distances to find the action. Yet, something about the game feels off to me. The destructible enviroments are very lackluster, i mean my jet literally bounced off a skyscraper but when i run into a light pole it blows up. The reactive weather disasters are fine. Really wish they caused more carnage especially with buildings and cars. The bullet spread is abysmal sometimes, especially with AR's. Im not personally bothered by the "lack" of weapons, imo you dont need fifty guns cause they all end up feeling the same to me. The specialist system is ok. I feel like it would flow better with traditional classes at certain points, but it honestly really isnt that huge for me. I am just glad i am having fun, and this game is in no way a 0 out of 10. There was genuine effort put into this game, and I still am having the classic "only in battlefield" moments especially when im playing with my freinds. Its just fun to do dumb **** in battlefield. And thats why enjoy this game more than other people. Im able to look past the minor negatives(while their is A LOT of them) and just enjoythe base experience of Battlefield 2042.… Expand

    - Core game-modes, horrible.
    - Portal, very fun.

    -----

    Campaign

    To state the obvious the game doesn't have a campaign and for a $60 title I don't understand how it doesn't have one.

    They created this [lore web-series around 2042](https://youtu.be/FJVCfhLEYdo) and it just ended there. No more videos. I personally would have loved a campaign around 'Irish' played by Michael Williams. Sadly he passed away in mid of this year (2021) and now we can never get it.

    Such a missed opportunity to build lore around all of this technology. Sometimes I just want a getaway from the competitive'ness and just play a campaign. If you're searching for the same thing, you won't get it here.

    -----

    Content

    Content is barebones and bad decisions were made when making it.

    Upon playing Battlefield, if you didn't know this game is developed by EA so they do EA things. Do you know what that means, they introduced 'Cap XP' to the point where your XP is capped for that entire day for earning too much. You can still earn XP but it's capped to a specific amount each day.

    - 2042 has 7 maps (not including Portal maps), while Battlefield V has roughly 18 maps.
    - 2042 has 22 weapons, while Battlefield V has 60+ weapons.

    You see where I'm going with this? Yeah... The game just lacks content.

    -----

    Support Roles/Specialists

    First off, as someone who main's Medic... Support roles are meaningless in this game.

    Ammo? No big deal, you can now pickup ammo from the ground.

    Recon? No big deal, classes can now equip a sensor grenade.

    Medic? Pretty much pointless. It takes a whole minute just to revive a teammate compared to Battlefield 4 or Battlefield 1 where it's just instantaneous. You can play as the Medic Specialist and you have a heal gun, sadly you can't revive teammates with it. What's the point in a heal gun when you'll just re-gen the health 10 seconds later?

    The only perk for the Medic Specialist is the ability to revive a teammate for full health... And that's it. They literally brought a perk from the defibrillator once you fully charge it, but instead it's now a character perk. Why kill off a mechanic that wasn't broken?

    Specialists are more self-served rather than manually benefiting the team/squad, this mechanic is what sold millions of copies. Yet you got rid of it. Battlefield, this isn't Apple. You don't need to redo the charging port/headset jack EA. Please stop.

    -----

    Portal

    The Battlefield Portal game mode the ability to mismatch previous Battlefield titles with the current 2042 or older titles and make your own Custom Games or even play 'Hardcore' is what saves this game. This... This was the most fantastic feature DICE has done in 4 years. Without Portal, the game would have been dead at release. It even has a custom browser while the core game-modes don't even have one. Portal was the most fun I had in a long time. Just jumping into Battlefield 3 maps and just going on a rampage taking over flags, taking over a tank and getting the objective. You can't get anything like this from any other game... This is Battlefield, not that bland crap in core game-modes. It's truly remarkable what you can create and play with Portal. ----- Overview All the details from DICE not having a campaign, a scoreboard, the UI, vehicles, lack of weapons, lack of main maps, lack of Portal maps, re-design of the classes... This Creative Director needs to be fired. He still has a mind of a 5 year old that played too much Black Ops 3. He took steps in the right way like Portal but took huge steps backwards. [Here's a list of items](https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/qw8m3b/list_of_things_that_were_removed_in_bf_2042/) of how much got removed from previous titles to this game. DICE purposely stopped Battlefield V development in 2019 to help make 2042 better with more resource management and this is what EA DICE came up with? This is a disgrace to the series. Congratulations to the Portal team, I will buy you a beer. The core game-mode on the other hand... DICE, you failed the fan-base. I can easily spend 60+ hours in Portal, is it worth $60 though, sadly no and that's where I come in and say, I don't recommend it. Get it on a sale.    … Expand

    - Hit registration, or lack there of. You will dump an entire clip into an enemies back to have them turn around and kill you.
    - You can get in a vehicle and shoot and kill yourself because the animation still has you outside of the vehicle.

    - No stats page
    - No server browser
    - Lobby disbands after every game, no carryover
    - No distinctions between factions except the glow stick colors. Soldiers around the world wear glow sticks to make themselves unseen to the enemy. Sometimes you see the Betty White specialist kill the other Betty White specialist who is then revived by the Betty White specialist.
    - When you spawn in you are forced into an animation of chambering a round that you can't avoid. If you spawn near an enemy, you are dead.

    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.
