    It's absolutely terrible. A half-finished game riddled with bugs and awful design and gameplay decisions. There is so little left of what made earlier Battlefield games great. The devs are so out of touch with what the Battlefield community wants. DICE have totally lost their way.

    I like the fact that I can play Solo vs AI. MP is never been my forte. But taking out weapons progression is a bit much.

    And the specialists are fun but not Battlefield. It never was a "heroe" shooter. And if you want to do it make sure I can tell which player is on which team. I'm a little bit sorry for buying it. Should have waited a couple of months probably....    … Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    the game is really fun in its best moments, but its overshadowed from lack of important features, weird design decisions, horrible performance and bugs.

    -no squad settings or ability to create new squads

    The maps are all mostly open fields, making it hard to work on characters that require close-quarter combat, as the specialist with the shield. Trying to bash someone with it is like putting a thread through a needle, terrible. Collision is horrible as often when I attack someone with the shield, the enemy player just goes through me and shoots me. The most slight angle and the shield do not protect you. The game does not even treat it like you have the shield equipped when running with it, often getting shot through it.

    Vehicles, SMG, and Sniper/DMR's pretty much dominate the game. Constant rubberbanding, their netcode is bad. No bullet drop apparently. This game tries to be every other game and not Battlefield. Apparently, DICE took a page out of EPIC games and tried copying other studios, and did a poor job. Not even trying to be original. To me, this is a prime example of a game thinking of profit instead of quality.    … Expand

If I wanted specialists I would play Warzone or Siege or some **** Portal is good, only issue with it is the server lag/issues, and bugs that carry over from the 2042 engine it's built in sadly. But Portal needs more maps and guns to stay playable/replayability. If they sold Portal seperate from 2042 I would rather buy that than 2042. Lack of features are missing from 2042 that were in previous battlefields like scoreboard or proper score system for damaging vehicles or players. No assists on taking out vehicles, no extra points or distance listed for long range sniping. Also no diving under water to avoid detection to name a few out of hundreds of missing features lol. I definitely recommend saving your money, buy BFV, BF1, or BF4 that are on sale on Steam for cheap, play those that work waaaaay better. Wait for this game to be fixed, patched, and when it's heavily on sale to buy it, save your money. Show EA/Dice that this game is garbage compared to previous Battlefields. Definitely a step in the wrong direction, no where near next gen.… Expand

The game is just not finished, the bugs are so common they break any immersion in the game that you might have and cause matches to become a comedic laughing stock from all the glitches happening, I can constantly hear my friends laughing on my discord because none of us can take matches seriously when people are riding up the side of buildings with hovercrafts. sure its funny as hell the first few times but how are we supposed to get immersed in this world when the stuff thats happening is stuff of science fiction and straight out of a naked gun movie FFS.

    The vehicles in this game are literally broken. you have nearly all vehicles that can glide up buildings and some that can fly in the air if you run off the proper surface. its so broken I cant even fathom how this got released in this state, not only that but the guns seem to miss targets when shooting point blank at some enemies for no apparent reason.

    Im not going to sit here and waste your time, But just for the love of god DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!! They bastardized the series and shat on the Battlefield name. This is not even close to what us fans deserve, Also how the holy flying Fu** did this game get a 77 score from critics? did they even play the same version as we did? something is very fishy and its obvious alot of them were paid off.

    First of all, it is filled with all kinds of bugs and frequent crashes that make it very hard to even start a match.

    Furthermore, there are VERY few weapons, gadgets and vehicles, and the progression system to unlock them is awful. It feels like it was made in less than a week, just take all the 22 weapons and spread them as rewards over the player levels.

    For 90€, 3 years and 4 studios developing the game there are exactly: 2 LMG, 3 SR, 3 DMR, 4 AR, 4 SMG, 3 pistols and 3 shotguns, and that is at level 100 (70+ hours), so for a big part of the game you are limited to mostly 1 or (if you are lucky) 2 of any given weapon category.

    There are only 7 maps and 2 main gamemodes, and the only way to play is to queue in one of the 2 modes and hope the matchmaking doesn't bug out (which happens very frequently, I may add). That's right, you can't even choose which map you want to play because there is no server browser. And every time you finish a match, you have to go back to the main menu and queue up again. That means that it is very possible to play on the same map multiple times in a row, while you haven't played on other maps even once.

    I could keep going on things like how atrocious the flying physics are, the replacement of the traditional classes with specialists that no one asked for, the lack of an ingame scoreboard, how they removed the enemy chat and forced you to have a profanity filter always active, the terrible HUD and menus (seriously look at them and tell me how this resembles a AAA game that has had thousands of people working on it for 3 years and not a technical alpha for a random chinese copy of battlefield), etc... but I think this is more than enough to warrant a refund.    … Expand

    the game is also buggy to ridiculous extent, some bugs are expected for a new release but some make the game almost unplayable. Even if DICE quickly fixes them they won't fix the underlying flaws of the game design.

    The new specialist system is a very blatant attempt to imitate other popular shooters like Apex: Legends, CoD Warzone and Rainbow Six siege. Sacrificing the formula that made the franchise popular to begin with for a shameless cash grab attempt to sell skins. The result is a soulless mess with terrible voice acting and poorly implemented characters.

    DICE has blatantly disregarded player feedback and the wishes of it's existing player base in attempt to appeal to the player bases of other games.

    Long story short. Battlefield 2042 is a Battlefield game made by people who don't like Battlefield for people who also don't like Battlefield.    … Expand

    Portal is the only good thing (that's why I'm giving a 3, 23% of Portal and 10% for the maps except Hourglass that is complete crap)

    Portal is great we can at least have the option to remove freaking specialists, but it needs more content, more weapons, things to unlock. dedicated servers, the game is full of idiots farming XP (like that ever cared in a BF game) the few good servers are hard to get in cause the game just have a hard time letting you get inside a game.

    Other aspects:

    Sound is a sad disappointment, clear downgrade from previous titles.
    Playing with friends is almost impossible.
    Can't switch to an specific squad.
    No scoreboard
    No spectator mode
    Full screen map is pretty much useless at this point is missing so many information

This game however has a small annoying flaw. The game design of the game seemed very attractive to me and in my opinion it is a ver or too bad there wasn't a campaign that would have been spectacular.

    The game has tons of problems that have to be fixed as soon as possible before the players stop playing the game.

    To enumerate a few:
    1- Performance, even with a top tier machine, your fps is gonna be low.

    3- No classes.
    4- Level destruction is almost inexistence.
    5- No server browser.
    6- No global chat, not even a voice chat to talk with your squad.
    7- No UI info like damage done to infantry/vehicles
    8- Most of the time, allies cannot be revived.
    9- The sound is non-existent, a tank can touch your back and you did not hear it.
    10- The icons of the characters that have ammo or health to ask for are broken.
    11- The TTK of some weapons is rare. You literally hear 2 bullets and you can't react, mainly from the smgs, they outperform assault rifles even at long ranges.
    12- Ground vehicles can scale buildings and camp all the match just there.
    13- Only 22 guns.
    14- No way to join a specific squad, all you can do is leaving your squad and joining other random squad mid game. If your friend is in another squad, well, good luck.
    15- Unlike other battlefields, you cannot enlarge the map.
    16- You can not zoom the map so again, good luck selecting the right point to respawn (squad mate, point itself, spawn beacon etc)
    17- Many of the weapon attachments do nothing and you have 4 or 5 that are just there for decoration.
    18- Sometimes you can't aim down or up, just to the sides when you respawm.
    19- Hitbox ghost
    20- Player ghost, yep they can be invisible and even your teammates can spawn without the icon and looks like an enemy.

There are only 22 guns in the main game for now but when you include the ones from portal that doubles. Ultimately a great BF experience that will improve to become a solid entry in the series' history.
    A common complaint is what people are calling “bloom” but should simply be called bullet spread. This is minimized but not eliminated by standing still. You cannot move and shoot in this game with accuracy, but people who are more used to BF 5 or Call of Duty tend to overlook this.

    What is ultimately going to happen is lots of people will hop on the hate bandwagon and pass on this game, only to pick it up on sale later and realize they have been missing out. If you’re still skeptical you can sign up for EA Play Pro and try it through that service. You will also gain access to the other BF games that way.

    I strongly recommend the game, especially if you prefer the gunplay from BF 1-4 over that of BF 5 or Call of Duty.

    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 ...

    Really like it. Performance is good with a 1080 ti on medium. Better Scoreboards would be nice and here and there is some work to do but overall I'm happy with it. Would rate it a 8 but gave it a 10 to counter all those kid reviews counting fps, cpu util and other bs.

    The only thing this game needs is a remake its shocking. I could list the problems but I think most of the reviewers are listing them already.

    so utterly disappointed.

    Dice and EA need to apologise for allowing people to buy this game and to the battlefield community for letting us all down so hard.

    What an incredible piece of hot garbage, they took what made battlefield great and threw it in the dumpster. Battlefield 2042 is a Call Of Duty clone, There is no classes, no scoreboard, no voice chat, full of bugs...are you kidding me? Ive been playing BF since 1942, this is an utter disrespect to the fans and players of this franchise. 1/10 don't even think about buying...

    This isn't Battlefield game, this is some sort of Frankenstein monstrosity!

    Super bad:
    -sound positioning is crime against humanity, atrocity level nonsense. Why employ deaf ppl as sound engineers?
    -UI - why employ blind person to create UI . I'm sorry, blind person would do better job. UI looks like random sh@t put together by website building software operated by monkey.
    -guns or rather Nerfguns - why employ pacifist to program bullet spread?
    -no squad control - why employ antisocial person to design social features?
    -no leaderboard- why? simply why? social justice ? equality? hurt fillings ? Competitiveness=Bad white men?
    -Maps - I'm lost on flat plains of idiocy

If this doesn't get people's attention to how "get the game out as fast as possible and fix it later because we want money" EA has been doing this business model for years and it won't stop till all these saps stop giving them more money hoping they put out a better product all EA cares about is how much money are they making and till that changes all their games are going to suffer quality wise. If you say they are putting out quality games at launch the you are either and idiot or your blind or being paid off by EA themselves. Enough is enough its time to stop giving into EA'S money last and force them to make a better product don't buy this game!!!!!!!!!… Expand

    As someone who loves Battlefield and has been playing since 1942 I can say this years release has been a total letdown. Even when you try and enjoy the game you're constantly coming across scenarios that simply make the game unplayable such as enemies not loading, being unable to re spawn, being unable to aim vertically, weapons switching randomly, etc..

Les spécialistes c'est une blague, donné une identité à notre perso ça fait juste en sorte qu'on se rend compte qu'on joue la guerre des clones. Les skins sont pourris. Les serveurs c'est une blagues, à mon avis ce sont les vieux de BF1942 qu'on a dépoussiéré c'est pas possible. 75 balles pour jouer le jour de la sortie et c'est de la merde (oui le jour de la sortie le early access c'est juste une méthode de fdp pour nous faire cracher 15 balles en plus à nous les fans boys).

    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.

    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.
