    Per reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/qs5gh9/a_list_of_issues_with_battlefield_2042_and_what/

    1) No Scoreboard - No scoreboard means you can't tell who's hacking, can't tell if the teams are balanced, can't see how many bots there are in your lobby, can't see everyone's ranks/levels, can't see everyone's stats and comparing yourself and your squad to everyone else, can't see latency of everyone in the match, can't see overall score, and can't see how many different classes are being played. The players have everything to lose when there is no scoreboard, yet EA/DICE have everything to gain. If you care about your community and respect us as dedicated fans of this series, you will bring back at least this one feature.

    2) No scoring system - We've had a scoring system in Battlefield for many years now, yet such a system does not exist in BF2042. Shooting at enemy players does not rack up any score points, throwing ammo/meds or doing repairs doesn't rack up score points. Capturing objectives, playing as a squad, marking objectives, spotting enemies, etc, all of these do not rack up any score. All we get now is a basic XP system that cannot be shown or displayed to anyone. You cannot compare your score with people on your own team, let alone the enemy team. The removal of the scoring system plus the removal of the scoreboard both contribute to the lack of competitiveness that the franchise has been known for. Remember the days where you were at the top of the scoreboard with 0 kills but the most revives/heals? Say goodbye to that.

    3) No stats page - So we have no scoreboard, no scoring system, and also...no stats page. We cannot even see our own progression and stats in the game. Remember the Battlelog days where we can see so many detailed stats and also compare with other users? Well we hit rock bottom.

    4) No server browser - When you thought it couldn't get even worse, it just did. BF2042 has no server browser, you matchmake like you do in Call of Duty. We cannot manually select/search for games, we have to just use the matchmaking system that does the search for us. This is taking power away from players for no good reason. This opens the door for SBMM/EOMM becoming a thing which is a major red flag. It gets worse.

    5) Players do not carry over to next match, lobby disbands - Out of all the things EA/DICE could take from Modern Warfare, they took one of the worst things ever introduced, which was lobby disbandment. When a match is over, everyone is thrown back to the main menu, you get no chance to rematch the players you just played with. The older CoD and BF games all kept the same players for the next map, meaning you could play with the same players match after match. You cannot do that anymore as the system now forces everyone to disband immediately after the post-match screen. Needless to say, but this kills what little sense of community this game had left. Well done.    … Expand

    Lack of content, no solo, 23 guns, less vehicle and bots and only 2 modes for 2042 (with almost no balancing). I mean 3 years and 4 studios to have that kind of game is really laughable, dice from 2010 did better than this.

    No naval warfare, no boats is that The bugs , yea 10 thousands of bugs And the best removing all aspect of battlefield game, no scoreboard , no voice chat, no able to choose squad, no team play.

    major drop in quality. Has none of the soul or emotion usually associated with a BF game. This feels like a cartoon battle royal clone aimed at 7-12 year olds who want to spend mums cash on player skins.

    If you make it this far... then congratulations, you can now play the half finished buggy mess - unless it puts you in a match on the "Victory/Defeat" screen, which happens way to often - then... rinse and repeat.

    This is so bad - and that's the process you go through before you even get to the game breaking bugs.

    If there were ZERO bugs, and great performance - then this game would possibly be a 70% at best.

    Right now, if you have a 3090 and the top of the line CPU... your game is still going to be a buggy, low FPS mess.

    Any review site that put this at 60% or above, is absolutely not to be trusted - and if they're making money from these reviews, are straight up fraudulent.    … Expand

And guess what, we do, we just can't help ourselves.
    Onto a more technical approach toward the game. As many here pointed out: This is not Battlefield as we know. It's an amalgamate of Apex, R6 Siege, Fortinite and Warzone.
    No classes,
    almost so called "levolution" introduced in BF4,
    no dedicated servers,
    no stat page,
    no scoreboards,
    no chat (voice nor typed),
    "specialists",
    they introduced these cringey voice lines while running around and doing stuff and at the end screen with those unnecessary animations of MVP. Like, why? Why did you think that's something Battlefield needed?
    I also do not appreciate that we can change our attachments in the middle of the gunfight. To me, it completely destroys immersion (among other things present in this game) because it feels that our "soldiers" (not soldiers, our characters seems like privately owned fighters from those security companies we see in movies and series) carry them in the pocket. Maybe that's a thing and I don't know.
    Also the wingsuit has "Just Cause" physics. Completely ridiculous. Ruins the immersion.
    Lastly, the lack of weapon is disappointing. Barely reaching 20 guns while BF4 had almost 80 or more. I bet they will add more as they release the surprise mechanic called season pass or battle pass.
    I regret playing more than 2 hours, because I really tried to enjoy but so many things are wrong. This is not a war game, it's just a bunch of people running around playing with expensive toys.
    TL;DR
    Don't buy it, it's not Battlefield, it's a Frankenstein's monster.    … Expand

    DICE have gone back multiple steps and removed everything good about the previous battlefield. Its clear this game was meant to be a BR cash grab game to try and get some of the WARZONE money. No longer feels like BF, its pretty much Call Of Duty but somehow worse.

I never pre order games though as it is pointless and played the free beta. I wanted to like it so much but it was so buggy on Xbox Series X that it was unplayable. With only a few guns to play with, 1 map and mode, and seeing the same two characters over 100 times got old real quick. I believe they built specialists around hazard mode and I think they work well with it but adding them to the core game was a big mistake. With there only being like 11 specialists at launch and not enough added later and mostly everyone playing the same 3-4 specialists, it won't feel like battlefield. Your meant to feel like a faceless solider that can die and not have massive importance. Not every single game needs to make you feel like the hero of the movie or game. Now on to the release or what they call early access  but is still the full game. Again I don't pre order AAA games nor buy day one, pointless. I have the game pass which includes EA Access and allowed me to play 2042 for 9 hours. Within those 9 hours I can paraphrase the rest of the review by saying it sucks and don't buy until a deep sale 6 months later. Now don't get me wrong there's a Very good foundation here. You have the good ole Battlefield engine, the movements of the character feels good along with core gunplay when it works. That's it though. First and foremost there's no campaign, which automatically should of lowered the price of the game not raised it 10 dollars on console  for "next gen", Which is a scam. With no campaign, there should have been more time to add more content to multiplayer and its just not there at all. The thing that worries me most is that BF5 was a "Woke Failure from the start and almost no content added later. Bf 2042 gives you 22 Weapons in total with a handful more dedicated to portal mode, worse then any recent battlefield or call of duty. The few guns you do get come with a very small handful of skins that are very simple bland ones. The vehicles in this game feel cheap and blocky too. You get a few Massive but empty maps without much detail although pretty graphics at times, Two main modes, conquest and Breakthrough. It seems like battlefield strips away more and more modes every game. The performance is not there on new consoles and even worse on pc. Personally I dip below 50fps on Series X all the time. Next you have hazard mode which is like Battle Royale and a very simple version of escape from Tarkov. I thinks there's only map, that's all I got and it gets boring quick. Now the bread and butter and our potential savior is portal. A mode that for now combines Bf 1942 with bad company 2 and bf3 allows you to play 2 maps from each game along with a couple weapons and vehicles from them and a dedicated mode in each game that has potential. Seeing this mode makes me think they should of just remastered some old bf games and put them together in a bundle instead. If they add a lot more maps and guns to these games and even more games to the mode, there is something here. Like I said before I am very worried about post launch content. Even with portal though, you still have a buggy ugly glitchy ui. No scoreboard along with other features missing and poor button mapping. A small but necessary annoyance, on xbox you cannot disable crossplay within the game. You must go to xbox settings and disable crossplay which turns it off for every game which is annoying because I play a lot of co op games and like crossplay. On fps games I do not though with pc players. To wrap it up, there are a lot of bugs in this game but can be ironed out, a good foundation, and a potentially very good portal mode thats worth paying $70 alone in the future. Other then that there are way too many issues and missing content in the game and not worth the money nor time. Absolutely wait for a sale and months for issues to be fixed.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Been playing BF since BF3, and I was hoping BF2042 would be similar in its creative direction, and bring back the nostalgia from the good old days. I couldn't have been more wrong. Instead of listening to the community, who pretty much all wanted a bf3 style game, EA went the "screw you we will do what we want" route and now everyone is looking at them the same way they did when Bfv came out. Imagine BF4 had a child with Titanfall and CoD MW2019 and thats BF2042. It is so obvious to me that EA and DICE have shifted their focus to money and marketing rather than the game itself. Cosmetic skins, specialists, a very similar movement systen to CoD, it doesnt feel like BF at all. Don't waste your money until EA and DICE sort this **** game out. Did I mention it runs like ass on anything reasonably priced? Unless you have the most recent generation graphics cards good luck getting anything over 40fps...and dont even get me started on consoles.

    I never thought that I would have to give a Battlefield game any negativ feedback.

I do not even know where to start - the best way to describe it is this: In every Battlefield except Battlefield 2042 you jumped into the game and had the typical Battlefield experience - action, gunfights, nice gunplay and a whole lot of fun mixed with satisfying gameplay and brilliant graphics and legendary maps. In BF 2042 you get nothing like that. The maps are just big empty spaces designed without any love. There are no urban areas, villages, cities or areas with some battlefield-flair in general. Just look at maps like Zavod, Dawnbreaker, Paracel, etc. or any of the BF1 or BFV maps. Vehicle balance just is not there. The weapon pool is just poor - it‘s even worse than poor - it‘s shameful. Battlefield in it‘s newest form with 4!!! assault rifles?! I do not even want to start with the UI - it is horrible - I have never seen such an unusable and non-intuitive UI in any game. Gunplay is **** Maps are **** Technical Aspect is **** No Battlefield feeling. Working parts of every Battlefield since 30 years have been removed. These devs are just **** clueless. THIS IS NOT BATTLEFIELD. THIS IS A VERY BAD CALL OF DUTY CLONE.… Expand

    Battlefield 2042 is hands down the the worst FPS I've ever played. I put 15 hours in (I'm stubborn to have lasted that long!) and have uninstalled.

    I played and enjoyed Battlefield 1942, Bad Company, and BF IV. This is far and away the worst of the series so far. You're going to see some promoters of this game say "you people will tear anything down; you'll complain about anything". The problem is that it is very easy to complain about this deeply flawed game - there is very little it does right and I can't even think about anything it does better than any other FPS including earlier Battlefield games. Death by a thousand cuts.

    My list of grievances go on and on. Even the opening cinematic is a eyebrow-raising tease depicting a ship on the ocean (there are no actual ships in game). In my case I have to run medium settings on a brand new 3060ti GPU just for it to perform adequately (even with latest NVIDIA drivers from Nov 16). The maps are so big that many players spend their time running from place to place - only to die and start again. Vehicles in the hands of a skilled operator are ridiculously overpowered and nearly immortal unless multiple people are working on taking them down simultaneously (tanks take a good 3 hits with rockets). There is absolutely no joy to be had in taking down helicopters - 10 points for damage and he's still fine despite being hit by a surface to air missile. It is nearly impossible to even hit a jet. Being a medic stinks because people will just intentionally bleed out since they have no idea if you are around them, another mechanic dropped from this game that is necessary for medics to be functional. Hit detection (with a very limited selection of guns that don't feel all that different from each other) is incredibly inaccurate, I've strafed many folks with guns from a tank only to not do any damage at all. I've basically given up on trying to engage people in 1:1 combat because it feels like a random number generator. If I have the jump on somebody and shoot them in the back at point blank range several times they manage to spin around and kill me at least a third of the time….it is absolutely outrageous. I am not alone here. I mostly play Casper and have spent over 10 hours spotting enemies and then watching my teammates engage them in firefights from above the battlefield. I've watched many dozens of times as my teammates come in behind the spotted enemy - with what should be an incredible advantage - only to then see my teammate fire at them, the enemy turns, they exchange gunfire for a few seconds, and then my teammate goes down for the count. This is not battle. This is a random number generator.

    The only reason I'm even giving this game a rating of 1 out of 10 is because I sometimes feel like I'm contributing by playing Casper and helping my teammates to spot enemies with a drone but even there I believe the game is deeply flawed - the EMP dart requires you to get absurdly close to vehicles and then it doesn't work long enough/isn't effective enough for it to be worth using at all on tanks & ground vehicles. It is usually impossible to get close enough to helicopters to use the EMP dart because they are constantly zigging and zagging and are much faster than the drone - not that it would accomplish anything notable if you did hit them to begin with.

    Speaking of working together - nobody works together because squads appear to be randomized without a way to exclude people or change squads. The specialists are annoying and do not translate well to a game where we have to see the same annoying characters over and over. Even faceless avatars with varying skins are more diverse than seeing the same characters spouting out the same lame taunt over and over at the end of each match. They've shoehorned in a bunch of different identities but still have failed to give us what really matters - variety. They call it Battlefield 2042 but all of this technology already exists except perhaps for the magical hacking ability the one specialist has. From a tech standpoint this is Battlefield 2024, not 2042.

    Although you can see a scoreboard while the game is being played (to some degree) by pressing tab while the match is going, there is no fulfilling summary at the end and apparently no way to see how you did afterward. Having 128 players sounds like a blast in the end it is just too much chaos and even more unfulfilling because you can never have the sense you really made much of a difference with so many people playing. It is all just throwaway effort.

    Battlefield 2042 is less a FPS game and more a "frustration simulator". If DICE's goal was to make a bad combat game in order to try and make young videogamers understand the pointlessness of war, I suppose I would say they have succeeded. Maybe making this wargame trash was their personal contribution toward world peace?    … Expand

    The only reason this game get's a 1 of 10 is the Fact it has functioning vehicles and solid DEMO-like modes for Old game templates in "Portal".
    In Portal, you can create a DEMO of the old games and the actual game. But in the old games, you only use a handful of weapons with no customizations. I played Demos in the 90' and early 2000 its the same but the developer is the player.

    Best you do with BF 2042 ... play Demos of old games find the ones you like and buy them. then DEINSTALL BF 2042 again.

    I don't know if I will reinstall BF 2042 after a year or when it's Dropped like BF V after Pacific and it final developed with fewer bugs and graphic hiccups.

    Only 2 main game modes Conquest ( Running and dieing simulator with casual kills) and Conquest ... at least you see more than 2 players in these empty desert maps for 64 enemy players. This game is not a 128 Player game if the only ones you play against are 64 players.

    In a Battleroyale where everyone plays against everyone ...that's a 128 Player vs game.
    "This is not what I want" of a Battlefield game.

    IT is sad I only have to mention Bad things but the minimalistic destruction is not worth mentioning.
    You can blow little holes with the rocket launcher and not blow a whole map away if you target specific places on some walls. That is nice but ... not what I feel good enough and will be forgotten in newBF Games to come like so much in this one.

    See you in the next Real Battlefield game ... this game should be jumped over like BF Hardline!

I have leveled to about 30 and found unsatisfying gameplay loops, nothing to grind for, horrifically embarrassing specialist design (end of round quips), worst gunplay in the franchise (and genre, due to bloom and highly random horizontal recoil), and generally garbage performance on a high end rig (5950x and 3090). While Portal is the highlight of the game, it’s mostly plagued by xp/badge farm servers. Hazard Zone is a joke, I don’t think anyone will ever play this mode without serious overhaul or addition of content. The map design on conquest/breakthrough favors vehicle play to the point where you have to cheese the two good guns in the game to have any fun or hop in a vehicle.

    There is an overwhelmingly negative response to this game on almost every media outlet — anything positive is likely due to a reviewer tied to EA/Dice. Sadly there are very few positives about this game other than generally it’s a battlefield game and yeah large-scale combat is generally fun, but overall the experience is bad.

    We hardcore fans of the franchise have to accept that EA killed BF and BF its not coming back

    List of Current Grievances

    Let me start by saying that I so desperately wanted to love this game. I have been playing Battlefield since 2142 and it is by far my favorite franchise. Below is a list (in no particular order) of broken promises and removed or stepped on features that, if any one of which on their own was missing, broken, or intentionally removed, I could live with. When taken in as a whole, however, it just... I don't know... this doesn't feel like Battlefield.
    **GENERAL**

    * Plus system is clunky dog ****
    * UI is clunky dog **** wrapped in cat **** Might be the least intuitive I've ever seen
    * No Campaign
    * Lack of game modes
    * No hardcore
    * No military ranks associated with numerical ranks
    * Audio is poorly mixed
    * The maps, while stunning from both a scale and visuals perspective, lack any real flow for infantry combat.
    * Non-removable profanity filter
    * Lack of promised destruction/levelution
    * Faction locked weapons and gadgets in Portal
    * No rule editor support for objective based game modes
    * No server browser outside of Portal
    * No private/rented servers
    * Doesn't just roll into the next map after a game in AoW, back to matchmaking peasant
    * Cannot join friends already in a match (pretty sure I could do this in beta??)
    * Cutscenes all over the place
    * Cringe 'look at me' after a match
    * Cannot customize loadouts before joining a game.
    * Cannot select loadout or operator before joining a server which, in certain situations, spawn you directly into the game with whatever you had last game. This happens when joining a fresh breakthrough game, mostly.
    * BFV and Battlefront 2 were gutted to make this **** lol
    * No mouse and keyboard support for console
    * Options and description for kill sounds changed from beta. During beta it showed you would be able to choose between BF2042 and BF1 kill sounds. This same option now only lets you choose between BF2042 sounds or no sounds.
    * No Practice/Test Range
    **IN GAME**

    * Zoom issues with sniper scopes
    * No zeroing sniper scopes, starting scope (not sure about the others) has no hash marks on reticle for references
    * Biggest maps we've ever seen, highest scope magnification is 10x
    * No holding shift/stick click to steady a sniper shot
    * No leaning
    * 22 guns total lol
    * No ‘All’ chat
    * Enemies look the same as friendlies
    * Bullet spread / weapon inaccuracy outside of rock throwing range
    * Have to opt out of revive every death, no idea who can actually revive me anyway
    * Have to re-select spawn location every spawn
    * No resizable minimap
    * Cannot move while prone and ADS
    * Damage dealt numbers, e.g. "VEHICLE HIT 28" after hitting a tank with a rocket, have been removed. This applies to both infantry and vehicles.
    * Weapons can't have different sets of attachments in different loadout presets. Meaning if you want to have a suppressor on the **one** semi-auto pistol in the game for one preset, you can't have it *without* a suppressor in your other presets.
    * No fixed heavy weapons * AA rocket damage appears inconsistent * BF5 movement mechanics removed * Obnoxious voice overs, operators are incredibly vocal, every time you do an action they say a line. * Melee takedown animations have been gutted. All enemies are brought to a standing position before one specific kill is performed. * Cannot dive underwater * UI elements do not have transparency element and distant 2D/3D map markers and UI elements do not fade out by distance and cannot be scaled up or down * Good luck finding your marker on the map **TEAMPLAY/SCORING** * No VoIP * No real scoreboard * No stats page * No commander * Cannot join, create, or lock a squad * Cannot switch teams * Repairing vehicles does not give XP * No squad points for issuing orders or following them * No marksman headshot bonus for long range snipes * 'Assist Counts as Kill' has been removed * No vehicle kill assists * Spotting system is contextual and misses a lot of the time. For example, if you press Q over an enemy tank it doesn't always spot it, but places a go-to marker on that area. * The team/squad order menu (or whatever it's called) is a pile of garbage. back    … Expand

    -No Classes (sure, "classes" are there but are meaningless)
    -No Scoreboard.
    -Very little destruction in comparison to previous titles (a staple of the franchise since Bad Company 2).
    -No Server Browser.
    -The "back story" seems like a rushed justification for kicking classes to the curb.
    -No Spotting except for certain vehicle seats and Casper's drone which ends up lighting up the entire enemy team.
    -Lack of weapons (4 or less in each weapon class).
    -Sound design is awful
    -Map design makes it feel less of a battle and more of a skirmish, despite map size and 128 players (see Battlefield 1 for atmosphere).
    -Weapon recoil and slow time to kill makes it unsatisfying to play.

    Pros:
    -Vehicles feel powerful, albeit too numerous.
    -Can be fun at times with friends.
    -Available on EA Play Pro so I don’t have to pay full price for it.

В итоге, полное равнодушие. Нет ни малейшего желания запускать игру заново.

    DICE and EA have really lost the thread on this one. Everything that once made Battlefield a unique title is gone and washed away in a futile attempt to appeal to the Fortnight and CoD masses. Sadly even MW2019's Ground War felt more like a Battlefield game than 2042.

    Major disappointment! It doesn't feel like Battlefield at all. The portal mode is pointless, has been since launch. Once they let you earn xp again it might be the only redeeming feature of this game. Seems like every time I play, I get put in a game, run for 5 minutes then the game ends, so yeah, not enjoyable. Buss galore, do not see how this was a finished game.

    Gun play is weak at best.
    Maps are large but empty and poorly designed making it almost impossible to advance on foot
    Sounds are base heavy and lack any treble, the sound of a rocket hitting a tank sound more like someone stamping on a wet sponge . (using steelseries arctis pro headset)
    Graphics are odd / not good. Somehow they manage to be both soft and have hard outlines on objects. Seems somewhat cartoonish.
    Performance is poor. DLSS somehow reduced fps for me and also resulted in an effect like a swarm of bees in the peripheral vision, had to turn it off. (RTX 3080 plus OC i7 8700K) 60 to 75 FPS aprox on Ultra.
    Almost impossible to get a tank, heli etc with call in system. (they need to spawn on captured points!
    No enough guns in general.
    Also due to lack of class system you rank up unlocking random weapons and not a specific weapon type, i.e. cant focus on Assault weapons or sniper rifles etc.

Portal doesn't feel like battlefield either. It feels like I'm playing a different game that copied battlefields maps. The maps look great even though they aren't faithful recreations. It just doesn't play right.

    The battlefield series has always had this magical feeling of being a military sim and an arcade game in one making it easily accessible. You could jump on the game and act like a complete idiot and have a lot of fun or you could go sweaty, get your adrenaline pumped up, and compete for top spot while trying not to throw your keyboard through your monitor. Hell, you could even do both at the same time. However, the sim stuff was never **** with. It would draw you in and get your heart racing as you battled your way through the maps. Everything felt proper.

    As a competitive player the only thing that kept me playing was the need to get good enough to place in a decent position to be able to enjoy the game the way it was meant to be played because I was really bad at it when I started. While I don't mind people running around acting like idiots because I do it myself, I don't want to loose what has kept me drawn to battlefield for the last 15 years.

    With 2042 they threw the simulation and competition out the window. It's all play and little work. I can't take this factionless, classless, scoreboard less, stat less, XP exploitable, moon vehicle physics, 3rd person takedown piece of **** seriously. The realism is gone, The Competition is gone. It's 100% an arcade game with few military sim features now. They have changed the fundamentals of battlefield and screwed up features that have been in the ENTIRE battlefield series. The game is flat and extremely unrewarding for me and I feel like I was ripped off.    … Expand

    Battlefield has always been plagued with bad launches. Battlefield 4 caused me to abandon the game for a month after its initial launch, but Battlefield 2042 has problems that are more fundamental than just kinks that can be ironed out with a few patches. There are issues that are obviously design choices, and very cynical ones at that.

    Problems like bad optimisation, a lack of global chat, VOIP, bad server performance, lack of a scoreboard, or even the weapon balance issues (like there currently being only two viable weapon choices out of the entire roster) can be easily addressed. Though given Dice's track record, "easily" equates to several months.

    The biggest problem is that Battlefield 2042 does not feel like a Battlefield game. Dice have always been keen to introduce new elements into the series, but the games have always had a strong core gameplay element which is absent from this game. Its difficult to pin down, but there is definitely something off about Battlefield 2042.

    It could be the reliance on gadgets, the empty and sterile feeling to the maps, the poor sound design (extremely evident when you play the Bad Company 2 modes available on Portal), weak feel of the weapons, or abandoning the class system of previous games; something just doesn't sit right with the game as a whole.

    The specialist system is nothing more than an attempt to grab new players more familiar with the likes of Warzone and a cynical way to monetize the game going forward. While there are specialists that have been teased so far that aren't in the base game that are allegedly locked behind the season passes; I honestly don't think it will end there. Knowing EA's desperation to milk as much money as it can from its customer base, I can foresee specialists and skins that give a distinct tactical advantage being paywalled behind the store. How long until we see the Battlefield 2042 equivalent of the Rose skin from Warzone, that gave players an advantage in dark environments for months until it was addressed? Or how about an specialist with an unbalanced ability like ammo regeneration or an extra gadget slot? This is all hypothetical, but moving away from the existing class system is entirely about monetisation and not about adding to the game from a gameplay perspective.

    The specialist concept also removes the reliance on team play. There are glimmers of hope there where you can kind of see what they were aiming for, ie Rao hacking aerial vehicles so his team mates can lock onto them with impunity, but the reality is that most players will tailor the specialist to give them a solo advantage. There are too many specialists that have been created from the ground up for solo players too. Sundance and Angel are prime examples. What does Sundance bring to the party other than anti-armour grenades? A good Sundance player could use the wingsuit ability to put a spawn beacon in an area not easily accessible to the enemy, but will they when they can just throw anti-armour grenades at will? Angel could easily keep an entire squad alive and well stocked while they move from position to position, but why bother with that when you can just take him to the top of a building with your sniper rifle and medpack, and sit there for the entire round? And could someone please explain the point of Boris to me?

    At the time of writing this, Dice have removed the proximity sensors from the game. This was done in the name of them causing server issues, but the reality is that people were using them for easy XP. Personally, I don't have an issue with them. People may be farming them for experience, but at least in doing so they were contributing to the team. It highlights a bigger problem though, most of the abilities or gadgets in the game revolve around revealing the enemy on the minimap. Obviously this is a valid tactical advantage and a much needed one, but there is no counter to it. And speaking of visibility, in a game that does its best to hamper you visually, whether thats ground clutter, smoke or ECM, would it hurt to have at least one thermal or NVG option?

    Time to wrap this up as typing this is getting too depressing to talk about. If you're a Battlefield fan, avoid this until it goes on sale. Give it at the very least six months. Though I honestly I don't think the fundamental issues will have been addressed. I think these are core changes that are intentional in an attempt to try and bring in a new playerbase.

    EA touted this game as a "love letter to the fans". The reality its more of a breakup letter. Written in crayon. And you had to pay for the postage.    … Expand

If I didn't know better I'd have thought this was a cheap chinese knock off of the Battlefield series. I'm severely disappointed by the decisions that were made and the state this game is on release. Maps are also pretty boring and bland, it's mostly open fields of grass, dirt or sand with some containers somewhere. There are barely any weapons despite them having implemented the old ones for Portal. I will not review Portal because that's just old content ported to the new engine. Specialists imo are ok, but the cringe voice lines and forcing you to hear out the top 3 players voice lines ruins the actual dark feel of this game's scenario. I thought Cyberpunk would be a wake up call but apparently it acts as the leading example now. The contrast to a game like Forza Horizon 5 which is full of improvements, passion and good optimization is as high as on an OLED screen, infinite!

I played other FPS games like insurgency COD and R6S, BF was always my favorite but after BFV things started to change they added elites to BF V and started copying other games like R6 and COD, this new battlefield is mixture of Apex and R6 with some COD.

    If you ask a real BF player who played the previous games they will definitely tell you this game is not battlefield, EA is just hungry for money.    … Expand

    Complete Garbage.

    Premium price for something that you wouldnt play for free. No one wants Battlefield to be Call of Duty. No scoreboard.. no scores. Just experience points. This is the worst battlefield to date. The only even slight redemption is Portal Mode so you can play the games they used to make.. That is a sad indictment of a franchise. Do not give any money to this    Complete Garbage.

    The game has nothing to do with the Battlefield feel and franchise. It is clear that it was intended for the modern battle/extraction royal gamer circles and lets forget about the past. Sadly, this game is a mix of both world, which results in a monster.

    All the interesting things about BF1 and BF5 no longer exist. The maps are too big and the fights are messy it makes no sense ... It's a Battlefront without the 3rd person ...

    This game is like Windows 8 - trying to force what is "good" to players, but no one wants it.

    no one wants no scoreboard
    no one wants no team switch
    no one wants no all chat
    no one want no destruction
    no one wants run form point to point for 5 mins
    no one wants SO MANY BUGS (cant attach accessories, cant spawn!, crashes, crashes...)

    1 point for BC2 in portal, but is also bugged.

    Disregarding all the usual 2042 critical points, EA and DICE are more than capable of putting out a finished and working game. The fact that they are trying to pass this off as a AAA title and charging $60+ for it is a slap in the face to past Battlefield fans.

    In a year this game will either be finally good and less than $40, or it will still be garbage. Just wait until then.    … 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.

    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.
