    What an embarrassing mess. The developers had ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD to make a game without crazy glitches, graphical errors, good gameplay. What they delivered is on par with some third-rate game studio‘s debut effort in ALPHA stage. Utterly ridiculous, and no fun to play.

    This game is half finished, performance is bad and its missing so many QoL features from previous titles. What an embarrassment.

    Where to start? They took out a story mode to "focus on delivering a multiplayer experience" and what did we get?

    -No Scoreboard -No VC -No All Chat -No Squad Management -Max of 3 friends in a 128 player game -No server browser for 2042 -Minimum amount of weapons -Like 3/4 attachments for each gun that do the EXACT same thing. -ADDED BLOOM TO EVERY WEAPON SO EACH GUNFIGHT IS RANDOM    Where to start?

    -ADDED BLOOM TO EVERY WEAPON SO EACH GUNFIGHT IS RANDOM (SERIOUSLY GO LOOK UP A VIDEO IT MAKES FIREFIGHTS AWFUL)
    -Promised XP and Unlock for everything then disabled them in VS AI and Portal
    -Boring large open maps
    -Objective placement on maps is horrible. (One map the last objective is on top of a skyscraper that you can only get up 2 ways)
    -Downed bug is back AGAIN hope you like having to wait matches repeatedly
    -Servers disband after every match hope you like playing the same map back to back to back
    -Every single class has AA and AT so good luck being a pilot or driver.
    -OPERATORS ARE TERRIBLE THIS ISN'T A HERO SHOOTER DICE
    -Cringe endgame stat screen
    -UI is awful to navigate


    But really go look up the bloom in BF2042 and tell me if you want to waste your money on a shooter that you can't shoot in, how this ever made it through testing is beyond me.    … Expand

    worst battlefield of all time, No matter how good you are, the hit registry and variable weapon accuracy ruins any sense of this being a fun gain and makes every fight a coin toss. the game was not ready and honestly with all the bs thats broken and lack of features this game will never be ready. Litterally half the content of battlefield 4....

    The games on-foot movement mechanics are actually a lot of fun. Movement, including jumping and mantling is fluid and consistent. Parachuting is more realistic than in a game like Warzone, but allows for some additional tactics. When you are parachuting you can either control your descent and move with greater speed and maneuverability, at the expense of being able to fire you weapon. Or you can release your chute controls and descend, but have your weapon up to fire. Zip lines also allow you to be able to shoot in any direction, which helps when moving into fortified areas.

    The graphics, when they aren’t hampered by bugs, are great as well.

    The Bad

    Content (what’s missing):

    This list is literally too long to do justice here, so I recommend checking out the subreddit for the game on this.

    But there are no classes. You’re stuck with specialists that are piecemeal in terms of gameplay and being able to respond to in-game situations. There’s also no lock-on anti-vehicle weapons (SMAW/Joker), which is a problem when dealing with the insanely OP and overly fast hovercraft. You also can’t dive to get away from enemies, making you a sitting duck in water. Weapons attachments are also extremely sparse and poorly implemented. There are no thermal/NVG scopes, and the items that are available essentially have identical duplicates in most cases meaning that a significant number of attachments are cosmetic in a sense. There is also no scoreboard, no VOIP, no squad switching, to setting a squad leader or battlefield commander, no persistent leaderboards, etc.

    Content (what’s there that shouldn’t be):

    Specialists... look, they aren't terrible, and apart from two of them who have excessively powerful anti-vehicle/air capabilities, they are relatively well balanced. But it’s clear that this game originally was meant to be some kind of Apex/Fortnite/Overwatch hell-spawn. And it seems that EA got cold feet about it and then tried to pivot back to an actual Battlefield title last year. And boy does it show. The character design reeks of the uncanny valley, and the end-round quips might be some of the worst cringe-inducing garbage I’ve ever seen in a video game. Against the backdrop of a literal climate apocalypse, you have these “No-Pats” (non-patriated mercenaries) working for either the US or the Russians because they have literally lost everything, quipping like a bunch of idiot Twitch streamers. It’s awful.

    Map design:

    Most maps are poorly implemented. Ground-unit conflict points are too far away from each other. You can spend a third of the match just trying to from waypoint to waypoint in this game. Levolution is sparse, and poorly implemented. There are random tornadoes, which don’t do anything other than suck up players and spit them back out to parachute back into play. I’d rather play BF4’s Siege of Shanghai on permanent repeat than any of these maps.

    The Ugly

    Gameplay:

    It’s a shooter with absolutely garbage hit-registration, further complicated by an insane amount of bloom, that was either included to reduce the skill gap or added as a quick fix to issues in the beta. It’s also incredibly imbalanced. It plays like a failed shooter from a decade ago.

    Bugs:

    There is no way to sugar-coat this. People are having a myriad of issues, including, but not limited to:

    - Loadouts not working requiring leaving games altogether
    - Revives not working
    - The game crashing for no reason
    - Glitchy visuals that don't provide proper feedback about what is happening right in front of you
    - Getting stuck in a downed state and being unable to be revived or to respawn
    - Spawning on your team but with the opposing team’s colors and indicators

    UI:

    Aside from the new “plus” weapon attachment menu, which works well for in-game attachment switching, it’s an unmitigated disaster. There is so much having to move in and out of specific US pages just to accomplish a handful of things, particularly trying to switch your weapon attachments, that it makes you not want to do it at all. You can’t even see who’s in your party in the game menus without having to click on a tab to go to the “social” tab, instead of having persistent squad details section in one of the corners of the screen. Worse still is the Lead UI programmer going onto Twitter and commending their team for a job well done and then hiding behind complaints of harassment when the user-base came back with questions and ideas.

    Final thoughts: I cannot stress enough that you stay away from this game at launch. It’s not worth $60. It needs massive fixes just to make the game playable as a shooter.    … Expand

But, I will say I've been a big fan of the franchise going back to BF1942. I have very fond memories and nostalgia for the series and it's always been one of my "go to" games. It filled a great niche between milsim games like ARMA and twitchy games like COD. Using class based objective gameplay, with a slightly faster pace but still utilizing teamwork, tactics including balanced and fun vehicle play. All that is gone now.

    BF2042 is not even a BF game to me, the specialists are hokey cringe worthy arena shooter stuff, and we can tell this was the supposed to be the semi-arena shooter Battlefield. Hazard Zone was really the only intended game mode, the Conquest and especially Portal modes are panic adds. But it all just falls so short.

    Then there is the myriad of technical issues that I won't document here, they are being talked about all over the place already.

    For all intents and purposes they have abandoned the entire franchise for this misguided redesign. The best I honestly think we can hope for is this release to fail miserably and the developers be forced to do some soul searching and come back with a legit, back to the roots BF "7"

    They've lost their soul on this one. :(    … Expand

And because of that ridiculous scale, they decided to throw in as many vehicle as possible without thinking of balancing them, Again to use the spectacle as a selling point.

    They swapped classes, a battlefield staple, for specialists because they would be easier to monetize. They got rid of so many great details and gameplay additions from old battlefields, so they could focus on making the game more sellable, not playable.

    They practically got rid of all sense of community by getting rid of voip, scoreboards, clans, and all chat.

    And not to mention how absolutely horrible the performance it. I am fortunate enough to have a pretty solid pc, (10900k, 3080) i get constant stutters ranging from 50 to 90 fps on settings meant for performance. I cant imagine how they expect people who have been getting screwed over by scalpers from getting components to play this game.

    The ONLY redeemable thing about this game is portal. It offers a great nostalgia trip and has a lot of potential. Unfortunately since people went straight to abusing it which i have no clue how dice didn't see that coming, its basically impossible to level up with right now.

    I could honestly go on but i think the part that is the most disappointing thing about all of this is that this game was labeled as "a love letter to fans" before it was even revealed, yet here they are ignoring feedback on what fans want.    … Expand

    There are enough reviews listing missing features that I don't think they need to be repeated here. The game feels like a late Alpha build in its current state. Hopefully things can be turned around, but after the issues with BFV I'm not confident.

    Wait for a huge sale or try it through one of the many subscription services that provide access before spending your money directly. There's still some fun to be had in the chaos.    … Expand

    To those who bought this - ask for a refund.

    It`s so bad that it makes me want to play Battlefield 2 instead, a game 20years older.

    Even with a half-decent rig and 100mbps internet connection, the game lags, twitches and struggles.

    10 hours of freeplay? I already wasted 1.5hrs, will not waste any more.

    This game is just EA trying to copy Activision CoD and Apex Legends. They're goal is to get the money that young kids carelessly throw at games. It is absolutely rotten behaviour by EA.

    Yikes, where to begin…

    I have played all the Battlefields since BF2. It is my favorite franchise. Personally, I feel the series peaked with BF3/4. I have put many thousands of hours into those two. I enjoyed BF1 somewhat. I tried my hardest to enjoy BFV but I just found myself getting more and more frustrated the more I played it, much like I am now with BF2042.

    I have played all the Battlefields since BF2. It is my favorite franchise. Personally, I feel the series peaked with BF3/4. I have put many thousands of hours into those two. I enjoyed BF1 somewhat. I tried my hardest to enjoy BFV but I just found myself getting more and more frustrated the more I played it, much like I am now with BF2042. There are some things I do enjoy but there are some decisions that were made in the design of this game that are just baffling.

    Scoreboard/All Chat: Trying to encourage teamwork by obfuscating certain things seems a little ham-fisted to me. You don’t encourage teamwork by hiding things from the player. If I want to see how I am doing in relation to other players on my team I should be able to do it. I would also love to complement enemy players if they did some crazy play or if we had a nice duel with sniper rifles in the middle of the desert. But we can’t do that now because of the chance of people being toxic to one another?

    Specialists: In what was clearly a directive from corporate they decided to go down the hero soldier route in lieu of the traditional 4-class system in a blatant attempt to better sell the eventual onslaught of cosmetics. I was initially skeptical but willing to give them a chance. Each hero is given two unique traits that are exclusive to them. Some of these are great, like Mackay’s grapple hook and Rosier’s wing-suit. Others feel kind of lackluster in comparison, like Angel’s ability to revive someone with armor instead of health.

    You are given a lot of leeway in how you can customize your soldiers in terms of weapons and equipment but this creates a problem. Everything now feels homogenized. Everyone is a sort of jack of all trades. You can’t call these specialists. Does a specialist run around with a med-kit, sniper rifle and an RPG? Being able to throw together whatever random load-out you want means there is no longer a rock/paper/scissor element to encounters. That might sound like a good thing but hear me out. If I am playing as the Assault class, I know I will excel in infantry combat and be able to heal and revive but if I come across a tank or helicopter? You can bet your ass I’m going to be running. If I am playing as an engineer with an RPG and a PDW, I know I can handle myself in close quarters and be a deterrent to enemy armor but I can;t heal or resupply myself. Playing as a Recon I know I can spot enemies from a distance and be a general nuisance from afar or make a suicide dash towards a tank with some C4. This was a dynamic that I loved in previous Battlefield games. BF2042 has none of that.

    Squads: Removing the ability to create squads or leave a squad to join another has been removed. What? This basic feature has been in almost every battlefield game. Why remove it?

    When I am in a squad I have no idea what they are bringing to the table. Did someone bring an ammo crate? Does someone have a way to deal with tanks? Is this person using a shotgun or sniper rifle? Can this person spawning on me repair my tank? I have no idea. I guess I can ask in squad chat or voice chat. (Oh wait, there is no voice chat!) Previous games had a simple yet brilliant user interface explanation of what load-out your squad was using. Some of you might say that because of the customization options we now have that it would be impossible to do that now. Another reason the 4-class system never should have left.

    Weapons: BF2042 has a total of 22 weapons and ONE rocket launcher. ONE! BF4 has 84 weapons including the SMAW, SRAW, MBT-LAW, RPG and two anti air launchers. What the hell happened? I feel very limited in my options for dealing with armor and air in this game.

    Maps: The maps are huge to better accommodate 128 people. I get it. However, what usually ends up happening are these pockets of chaos surrounded by vast nothingness. Usually when you are stranded in the middle of nowhere you can call in an air dropped vehicle but they are not always available. You’re almost better off suiciding and respawning than making the miles long trek to an objective.

    The tornadoes are also becoming a major nuisance rather than something to be feared. The distortion effect that it creates makes me wish I had the ability to just shut off the UI entirely.

    Bugs: The ragdolls on death are hilarious. The way your character rolls around on the ground like a turtle waiting for a revive looks silly. The end-game quips are cheesy and annoying. Persistence errors. Deathcam glitches out to show nothing. Rocket hits not registering. Revive bug where the only way out is to alt-f4. Aiming bug where cross-hair moves but your character doesn’t. The list goes on and on. This game was not ready for primetime.

    I was so looking forward to this game but BFV should’ve served as a warning of what’s to come. Battlefield has succumbed to **** aura which inevitably destroys everything EA touches.    … Expand

    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.

    **REFUNDED GOLD EDITION**

It's so disconnected from what a Battlefield game should be. Shallow, these **** specialists with no soul whatsoever, that satanic hovercraft, the maps, spawns.. I could go on forever it feels like!

    I have played every single Battlefield game that has come out extensively and this is by far the WORST game in the Battlefield franchise I've EVER played. It's so disconnected from what a Battlefield game should be. Shallow, these **** specialists with no soul whatsoever, that satanic hovercraft, the maps, spawns.. I could go on forever it feels like! And as unexpected as ever the game is also very poorly optimized!I ran between 50-100 fps on all settings with a 3070ti and i711000k with huge drops whenever there was a firefight close by. DICE games has always been so smooth, even on lower spec computers, but this is just baffling.

    Oh and by the way; here's a list of all things missing in the game as of today:

    Core Features:
    -No single-player story
    -No standard server browser
    -Fewer standardized game modes (Can't even play TDM or smaller scale modes without relying on community servers. Really?)
    -Fewer base game maps than any other title (even including portal the map count is only 13)
    -No persistent lobbies (seriously why do I have to matchmake after EVERY round?)
    -Fewer in-game assignments (none outside of cosmetic unlocks)
    -No class system
    -Less character customization options (than BF5)
    -No profile progress/stats page in the menu
    -No battle log/stats tracker for other players
    -No global leader boards
    -No end of round assignment progress screen
    -No dog tags (they still sort of exist I guess?)
    -No custom emblems
    -Fewer achievements
    -No medals
    -No swelling crescendo of dramatic music near the end of a match (obviously -this is the most egregious of the list)
    -Less destruction (only a small handful of destructible buildings on each map)-
    -No map altering levolution (There sort of is but the maps are so big, anything that changes doesn't really affect how you -play)
    -No cross-game profile screen (BF 4, HL, 1, and V were all linked by a menu if you owned them digitally, was a neat feature.)
    -No spectator mode
    -No permanent community servers (would be useful for clans and events)

    Infantry Gameplay:
    -Fewer guns (even including all the portal guns, BF4 still had more at launch)
    -Fewer infantry gadgets
    -No manual leaning
    -No diving while swimming
    -No high wall vaulting
    -No crouch sprinting
    -No backwards prone
    -No explosion knockback
    -No rolling after falling from heights
    -No ammo or health pickup off teammates
    -No scope zeroing
    -No thermal optics
    -No indirect fire gadgets
    -Less anti-tank launchers (Come on man only one?)
    -No AP mines/claymores
    -No static weapon emplacements
    -No fortification building
    -No resupply stations
    -No suppression mechanic (This one I don't mind but I'm including everything)
    Scoring System: -No squad wipe scoring -No player damage points -No vehicle damage points -No vehicle kill assist points -No headshot bonus -No long-range kill bonus -No assist counts as kill bonus -No squad objective play bonus -Oversimplified teamplay scoring (i.e. healing a teammate always gives you +5xp rather than the amount of health you give) Squad and Teamwork: -No commander -No special squad call-in abilities -No squad field upgrades -No in-game VOIP -Fewer factions (with almost nothing to give the 2 factions any distinction) -No cross-team chat -No "create new squad" option -No "promote to squad leader" option -No clans -No view of squadmates while in the spawn screen -No "Medic incoming" indicator in downed state -No rank names/icons, just a number. UI and Quality of Life: -Less control customization options -Less UI customization options -No HUD/icon opacity customization -No HUD scaling customization options -No gunsight reticle customization options -No network performance graph -No individual player scoreboard -Less detail in the 'who killed you' screen -No ultrawide monitor support -Very poor friend joining system TLDR; Dont waste your money on this cash-grab.    … Expand

    Being a BF fan since 1942, and having played over 6000h on all of them combined, and even though my likeness towards the game started to decline since BF4, I wanted this game to be good, I was hoping to be good, that is why I pre-ordered it and got the Golden edition. However, I forgot the main point...

    EA, DICE and most companies, want to make money. There is a difference though from    Being a BF fan since 1942, and having played over 6000h on all of them combined, and even though my likeness towards the game started to decline since BF4, I wanted this game to be good, I was hoping to be good, that is why I pre-ordered it and got the Golden edition. However, I forgot the main point...

    EA, DICE and most companies, want to make money. There is a difference though from "making money" and being greedy. EA is the later.

    My son plays a BattleRoyale game in his iPad. That game has around 30 characters, with 3 weapons that get several upgrades, and also some capabilities per character that get upgrades too.

    Originally they give you 4-5 characters, but if you want more, obviously the more advanced, you need to unlock them (it could take 100s of hours of playing) or just buy them for $15 each. However, if you want to fully upgrade them, you can spend ~$200-300 for EACH character.

    EA has seen that model in most mobile games, and they want their cut. Old type of gaming, where we were giving $40-50-60 to buy the game and $40-50-60 more for all the DLCs, along with some $$ for them from private servers rent isn't by any means nearly profitable as the mobile model.

    So, they don't really care about the "old" community, their target group are children that are willing to spend $100s for unlocks, attachments, characters, animations, even emoticons! Along with them, they want to be inclusive, by adding transgender, gay, snowflakes, etc.

    All the above result in the game we have in our hands, and how it will change in the future. The game is not built to please the "soldiers", but the fans of skins, stupid jokes, egocentric behavior, that just want to compare their achievements with their friends. And by "achievements" I don't mean kills, revives, resupplies, captures, PTFO, but things they bought and show off anytime, not just in the endgame.

    On top of that, the game is a disaster, engine wise, as Reddit, Youtube and other popular places are full of "only in BF" moments, that are not funny, but bugs. The state of the game is not Beta, neither Alpha, is "Under Development". The Day-1 patch was more focused on skins and Specialists animations, than actual bugs, or balance. Maps are empty, there is minimal destruction (glass doors remain intact, while the wall next to it falls), graphics performance is bad (my 6900XT cannot get above 130fps with LOW settings). All the "battle" happens in certain points, and the rest of the maps are empty with almost no cover. If you do not have a vehicle, you are simply dead, cause there is a fraction of a chance to reach a flag, without dying in the process.

    Most of the "old community" will buy the game based on nostalgia and hope, that we are going to feel the same as in BF1942, BF2, BC2 or BF3, but we are getting disappointed, every time since. Personally I bought it cause I am playing PUBG* for 4 years, and I need something else, and no other games are visible in the horizon.

    Overall, DO NOT BUY this game. DO NOT make the same mistake as me (although I am refunding it). We need to show DICE, EA and others, that this model is not viable for PC/PS/XBOX gamers, and either they have to present proper products, or disappear.

    Apexfield of Duty! The pursuit of fashion trends has turned the game into an unfinished garbage dump. It's a mixture of **** with **** give it back to us BF!!!!

    RIP The king of FPS..

    ps2 era graphics
    more bugs than an ant farm
    clunky
    broken
    unplayable
    awful effects
    awful sound
    awful gunplay
    operators
    zeroooo content
    zero customisation

    the engine is like a cursed alpha version of previous games

    BF peaked with BF1 and this is just shocking and sad. This should not have been allowed to be released its as bad as cyberpunk

    I'm not going into huge detail as all has been covered.
    suffice to say I've been a gamer 30 yrs now this game is the worst Battlefield game I've ever owned it's worse than 5 ever was DICE and EA should be thoroughly disgusted with themselves releasing this game in this condition cannot even bind a flight sticks a FLIGHT STICKS!!!!
    its 6 months min away from being playable.

    Depressing, just damn depressing...

    It's just not a Battlefield game as we know it (sorry Spock).

    It's possibly not even game by some definitions (no way to look at scores and compare to other's scores).

    Just depressing (shuffles away kicking the cat...).

    The game is a "solid 3 out of 10" but since critique reviewers have been giving this game 8/10 during pre-launch it's a bit of a scandal to not rate the bitterness of it all.

Apart from the glitches the 128 players thing is an expensive gimmick that isn't supported by the tech and gameplay design, and all the mishmash just not fun for some reason. Add to that a ton of lacking and absent essential features like server browsers, teamwork indicators and score tracking and movement variety and the list of downgrades would sound like we're talking about a mobile version of a PC game.

    I can't give a higher score for copying the older classics in the Portal feature. So there: All out War is pretty bad. Hazard Zone is okay. To continue treating the customer base like greedy bastards is way out of line.    … Expand

    This is like a rotten corpse of previous battlefields, that has been put on for display and got punched countless times.
    Countless missing features, HUGE maps where even 128 players doesnt make a dent as you have to traverse empty fields with no cover from point to point.
    Vehicle call in system has ruined the game - this is Vehicles with Infantry not Infantry with Vehicles. WHO asked    This is like a rotten corpse of previous battlefields, that has been put on for display and got punched countless times.

    WHO asked for specialists??? They belong to the hazard zone which is extremely poorly executed and has been done better in other, well known games.
    Portal - when its not full of XP farms, you can get a glimpses of previous, much better battlefield games like tease of how much better they were ''screw you, look what amazing BFs you played before'' as there are only 2 maps for previous games.
    22 WEAPONS???? What were Dice doing for 3 years? 3 total pistols, 2 LMGS - what is this?? Attachments are idiotic - multiple different attachments that do the same thing, gives the same stats with different unlock requirmenets?
    Bullet spread is broken - SMGS is the only viable weapon as they shoot like lasers 100+ meters where Rifles become close to useless ( due to random, yes random bullet spread ) as of 25+ meters.

    This is wannabe Overwatch, Call of Duty, Fortnite cashgrab that they put as little effort as possible to sell us crap via store.

    There are countless other missing features, issues that it takes a freaking excel sheet to count and describe and this game is not worth that..

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, trust me, you will regret it after couple hours. Wait until Christmas when this failure will on sale for 20 bucks as thats max i would give it.    … Expand

    Game is fun enough but they launched without the basics a video game needs. Where the f is the scoreboard?????? That's ridiculous that a shooter wouldnt have that. Gunplay is fun but the game is so obviously unfinished.

    Ready to be put in the bin.

    This game wasn't supposed to be released in this condition, content is ZERO.
    Game modes? ZERO
    Infantry gameplay? ZERO
    OP Vehicles running all over the huge and empty maps? Too many.
    Portal game mode? Not giving any reward in XP or weapon advancement.

    In it's current state the game definitely has bugs, missing features and poor performance. Despite all this I find the game to be very fun at it's core but different to the traditional Battlefield formula many will be used to (specialist system in particular). I imagine the game will improve and evolve as time goes on but right now it will be a hard sell.

    Absolute Low point in the Franchise. Feels like a beta, only 2 Game Modes in the Main Game, only 128 Player Games possible. Very few guns compared to previous titles. Removed Game Mechanics. Feels like a totally rushed release. They should have give it at least 6 Month more of development. Very disappointing…

    All they had to do was give us BF3/4 with better graphics.
    Yet this game is inferior in every category. Weapons, sound, class design, map design, destruction,....
    And it's bugged as hell. Doesn't bode well when I encounter a scope bug, hit registration bug, and collision issues within the first 5 minutes of playtime.
    Do yourself a favour and play BF4.

    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.
