    Only giving it a 2 because I'm still trying to like it, but it's so bad.... like I literally re-download bf4 so I could play a good battlefield game again. Changing the 2 to a 1 mid review because I'm just so severely disappointed with everything from game play to maps and graphics. They took everything away.

    Couple months later update, game still sucks.

    Broken, unfinished, an absolute disgrace to the battlefield series.

    Game developers such as DICE/EA need to be held legally accountable for the amount of money they charge for games that have not even been finished.

    Honestly, its ridiculous what they've tried to pass off as Battlefield.

    In a nutshell, we're missing so much, and we're having a bad experience; -lack of content in the base game, -maps that are too big, -weapon 'bloom' that makes weapons useless, -poor hitmarker registration, -OP vehicles, -weird crashes, -sparsely populated maps with no cover, -lack of destroyable buildings,    Honestly, its ridiculous what they've tried to pass off as Battlefield.

    In a nutshell, we're missing so much, and we're having a bad experience;

    -lack of content in the base game,
    -maps that are too big,
    -weapon 'bloom' that makes weapons useless,
    -poor hitmarker registration,
    -OP vehicles,
    -weird crashes,
    -sparsely populated maps with no cover,
    -lack of destroyable buildings,
    -no proper scoreboard,
    -terrible UI,
    -terrible voice acting (I thought this was supposed to be a brutal and gritty take on the near future and climate crisis?)
    -long, unskippable intro and outros to every game
    -no server browser for 2042
    -stupid specialist system (just give us classes!)
    -no squad settings or ability to create new squads
    -no team swapping
    -terrible spawn points near locations that put you out in the open ready to be slammed by a hovercraft or some other OP vehicle
    -etc. etc.

    Its just not good and not worth preordering/buying right now. Maybe it'll get better in 4-6 months. I hope it does. But they have a long road ahead of them, and they're not getting a dime out of me until they deliver on what they promised.

    I had 35+ hours on steam and managed to refund it anyway thanks to steams T&Cs on unreleased games. I didn't come to this conclusion lightly; I really tried to give it a chance. But like their 'day 1 patch' that they released today, its underwhelming and frankly disappointing. Avoid.    … Expand

    Missing a whole load of features from previous titles, this game has cemented the fact that dice and EA no longer care about their loyal fans. After toting the fact that dice was trying to return to what made battlefield great, what we actually got was a a game unlike any battlefield ever. I'm convinced this is not a battlefield game. Not even worth buying once the million bugs are fixed.

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.

    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.

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.

    In Battlefield Portal, the fps situation is better: low-medium settings on BF3 maps (64 players) - 70-85 FPS
    2. - Terrible shooting - this random scatter... You shoot at the enemy and observe such a picture: one bullet flies into a tree, another into the sky, but the tenth still wanted to hit the enemy, but in the end - you're lying dead... Bravo... dice ... (in bf5 and in bf4 I clamp perfectly, but bf2042 is not about that)
    3. - Bug after bug - then the tank is firmly stuck in the texture, then you shoot at an invulnerable sniper who hid in the bushes, and apparently the registration of a hit in the new bf decided to rest and not count the damage on it... bottom line - you're in a coffin ...
    4. - Servers are unstable, etc....
    What the ***, DICE and EA?
    I played this miracle for 32 hours, and since I can't get the money back, I will sometimes play only in BF Portal on the maps bf3, bc2 and 1942, the rest is slop from the developers who threw the players to eat... You can endlessly talk about the problem with this battle...
    And so the conclusion is: do not buy BF2042 until it has been repaired, and if there is a discount, it is only then we can think about buying this "masterpiece" and the reason for Battlefield Portal (portal plays well, fans experience the nostalgia - might stop by, but not true :))
    Perhaps only the portal will save Battlefield 2042 from a major failure, and then if it is supported by content, well, we'll see. Good luck to everyone.    … Expand

    This has nothing to do with Battlefield.

    No scoreboards.
    No classes.
    No destruction.
    No servers.
    No stats.
    No chat.
    The weapons omg. There are literally only 4 ARs. Wtf is this?
    It tries to be a mix of Warzone, Fortnite, R6 Siege, Apex and so on.

    The cringe after game lines.

    This is an unfinished, unpolished and broken game.
    Do not buy this until everything is fixed!

    I will focus on specific aspects that I have seen. Too many attack vehicles, especially in advance mode maps that are smaller, you are constantly killed by tank shots even from behind because they have surrounded you or helicopters with dispersal bombs that you do not even know why you have died. The MC5 goes too fast for a tank guy, it does better to kill by running over than to shoot. For example, zone A1 of the Renovation map with so many enemy exit vehicles is practically indefensible. Defensive material against vehicles is clearly lacking.
    On the other hand, there is a lack of quad-type vehicles to move through the great distances of the maps. Few to no starter weapon accessories, in some cases not a sad peephole. The one who already has a higher level is greatly favored compared to the new player who to which they fall everywhere. There are no statistics whatsoever, nor can you even see the data of the last game once it is finished. You do not see doctors nearby when you die when that functionality was already implemented in the last Battlefields. Armor equipment makes no sense, in the end everyone will equip it so as not to be at a disadvantage. Not to mention bugs ...    … Expand

The second category is more abstract, and it comprises of the new direction of the game, which steps away from the old BF formula and tries to be closer to Call of Duty (jerky weapon animation, absolutely terrible and out of place end of round lines for each specialist...etc.). When the game released into early access, people were defending it on the basis that "it hasnt released yet" and the bugs will surely be fixed at full release. They werent. What we got is a barebones game, with a portal mode that is just as barebones, no campaign, bad optimization and so on. And while the devs mustve known about these issues, EA said that that they are far ahead in development. Honestly, if you want a Caspian border experience just try the original one or the one in BF4, and if you want a second world war experience then IN NO WAY do I recommend the portal mode, since there are games that are so much better, much more immersive and less pricy. I got to play the ultimate edition since I subscribed to EA play Pro to try it out, and it feels like a standard edition at best. Definitely not worth 100 EUR or quid or bucks. The game got boring after 40 hours. Oh and the specialists? You might get used to them. However im done getting "used to" terrible launches or anything that hinders gameplay in a AAA game that feels like its been developed by an indie studio over a year.

No way. It runs very very poorly on PCs that ran the previous title just fine and it looks objectively worse. The hit reg has been broken for weeks. The AoW mode is just unbalanced and boring running simulator if you're playing infantry, which you will be... quite a lot. The spawn system is a complete mess. You spawn in wide open areas as sniper bait, or in front of tanks or in front of enemies routinely. The UI makes it damn near impossible to select squad mates that are on objectives. They increased the player count to 128, which the servers clearly cannot handle consistently. This is a game with tons of potential buried under more tons of performance problems. I actually feel kind of bad for the artists that worked on this title. You can see the love and hard work put into that aspect of the game, but the balance and performance issues are glaring.… Expand

    This has nothing to do with BF3, BF4 and so on.
    The maps are huge, and they are awfully designed. You have a desert, some more desert, two buildings and some more desert. Same goes for almost every map, but change desert for planes of grass. Out of that, we can have a nice vehichles rekting you all over the place cuz there is nowhere to hide from them. My memories from BF3 are special ones, as the maps here was 10 out of 10 in comparison with that one.
    The guns - there is no guns. Forget about grinding 100 years in BF3 to try everything out, there is just about freaking 20 guns for a whole game for EVERY class (sorry, operator).
    128 people not fun at all. You have one place where everyone just shoot each other for about 3 to 5 minutes, then you should run 5 kilometers marathone to be killed in the middle of the desert by a heli.
    Cringe voicelines, absolutely cringe and awful. BF3, once again, was a masterpiece at that.
    Destruction is good, but still laughable, as there is one or two buildings you can destroy, the rest is desert.
    Even tho i have an old videocard and i understand it, but boy, 40 fps with THAT graphics on low's - laughable, there is no optimization. Hell, even people with rtx 3000 series are getting some problems.
    Bugs are one hundred percent to show up in every game you play, in general, that feels still like beta, still scuffed.
    Im heartbroken, as BF3 was once a game, that i've DREAMT of getting. I've build a completely new PC just to play that game, just to enjoy every piece of it, it was mind-blowing. Right now, do i want to build a new PC to run that 150 fps on Ultras? Hell no, i don't and i won't. 10 years later, that is not what i expected out of gaming industry, constantly selling us a raw, unpolished, bad and just soullles project. Literally everything in that game is bad, i have nothing else to add.
    I wish i could say every little piece of that battlefield making it that bad, but i believe that everyone, who actually played this game, will understand everything i've said and alot more.
    Sad, that we live in such a time, when we can't just have a mind blowing game, as we used to get before.

I have been a fan of the Battlefield franchise since 3 and this is the worst launch and release of the franchise yet. I defended this franchise through thick and thin and I am done doing so. I played on the pc with a BEAST of a pc that has no problems running any game on the current market until II created a Metacritic account for this title especially and it makes me sad to say this. I have been a fan of the Battlefield franchise since 3 and this is the worst launch and release of the franchise yet. I defended this franchise through thick and thin and I am done doing so. I played on the pc with a BEAST of a pc that has no problems running any game on the current market until I installed this game. Between the constant crashes and bugs and game breaking glitches like killing someone and I am the one that dies even though I never got shot. Every "patch" that comes out breaks the game even more and even makes your hardware on your pc stop functioning properly. Here is my breakdown of this game.

    - Limited number of maps. There is only 6 or so maps on this title so playing multiplayer gets repetitive and boring.

    - Game randomly crashes or freezes for no reason. I am half way through a match and the game will randomly crash or freeze.

    -Limited operators. There are about 11 or so operators in the whole game and there is no difference between the US side and the RUS side on operators. Hell even COD has separation for their operators so you are not looking at 50 of the same people on the battlefield.

    -The game refuses to launch at times. I didn't get the Steam version of the game but the Origin version of the game and my game would fail to launch time to time. I just wanted to play the damn game.

    - Inconsistent recoil and feedback from shots. I love sniper class on Battlefield and at times I would hit someone with my scope set to proper distance. Then another person will stand in the EXACT spot and the same settings on my scope would miss the target with no change in weather pattern.

    -No story campaign at all. Listen I am tired of the same ole military shooter COD story that you can predict the whole thing once you start the game, but this title is missing a campaign badly. If you make a multiplayer only game, you better bring the whole kitchen sink for content and entertainment. Modern gamers do not have the attention span to give them this limited amount of content.

    -Graphics are weird and unrendered at times. I have a 3060 in my rig and a powerful processor in my rig and man do the graphics look terrible. It looks like Dice rushed this game totally in the 15 months they had to build this title.

    -Modern gaming problems that I overall hate. Battle passes, monetization methods, Super duper deluxe edition that isn't worth $200, broken buggy releases with "promises" to fix in the future, etc. This title falls in line with most games out in the last 10 years or so and I am tired of seeing the same **** all the time. I am in my late 30's and have been playing games since the NES and I miss the days where a game came out in stores, ****ty or not, at least the game was complete.

    Overall I would say skip on this title. This is a HUGE disappointment in the franchise and I would heavily recommend not playing this game. Do NOT give EA and Dice the time or day.    … 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.
