    The gunplay is just so soggy. Everything about the Aesthetic and marketing screams "arcade shooter" but then even by battlefield standards everything is slow and muddy. 2042 is like the damp potato chip of Battlefield games.

    This game offers absolutely nothing to core FPS players who played infantry only, objective-based tactical modes in the past, like Domination, Frontlines, or even a proper TDM mode.

    You are forced to play silly massive player count modes against overpowered vehicles to unlock anything in the game. Literally, there are no infantry modes that are part of the main game experience. In a game where the vast majority of players are infantry.

    The gameplay can summarised as a "run for 5 minutes trying to find an enemy and then get blown up by a helicopter" constantly looping subroutine.

    The game has a lot of bugs not relevant to the design. I like bloom gunplay in general when it's done right like BF3, but in this game it's sabotaged by hitbox and server hit registration issues. I wouldn't trust DICE to have the subtlety to understand the right feedback from the community regarding what are bugs and what are design issues.

    The worst-in-industry UI, huge gamut of missing features/modes and appalling performance of the game are all absolutely unforgivable.

    EA, please bin this franchise, and spend a minimum of 5 years dissolving DICE and rebuilding a new dev team sorting the wheat from the chaff internally to arrive at a level of quality we saw in titles like BF3 for their time in some new and exciting IP's. There are no shortcuts to this I'm afraid - you really are at the lowest all time low I have seen and I have been playing your games since the mid 80's.    … Expand

    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…

Game is nonfunctional at launch (sorry, I don’t care if the regular release is a week later when so many people had to pay $100 to play it early). 4 hours of my 10 hour trial were spent trying to get into a game. A few more were spent trying to find a Portal server that wasn’t an XP farm and then trying to host my own when DICE limited the number of Portal servers. When actually in a game, there are numerous game breaking bugs. I remember when our biggest launch day bug problems were giraffe necks...

    2. Specialists are every bit as bad as people feared, and clearly are there for monetization. I hate the idea of heroes in anything even trying to resemble a military shooter (and believe me, every specialist but Irish looks stupid and out of place in a warzone) but the Marvelesque quips they give after apparently just finishing a BATTLE in a WAR are some of the cringiest aspects. Love that DICE also brought the same exact specialist quips to portal games too lol. There’s no tonal consistency between the setting of climate-change exacerbated global conflict that has collapsed entire nations and fun colorful characters flying around on wing suits and grappling hooks having the time of their lives. Very cool that DICE didn’t playtest their game and has had to temporarily disable a Specialist’s ability as it was apparently too broken.

    3. Awful art direction. Okay, I’m a gun/vehicle/militaria nerd, I admit. But of the 22 weapons in 2042, how many really belong in a future setting? Many are already not in use in the 2020s, and slightly changing the name doesn’t change that. Of the guns and vehicles that do conceivably fit into a future setting, most have simply had ridiculous name changes (AK-24 that’s simply an AK-12, the Ka-52 being renamed Ka-520 lol). Special shout out to the ridiculous optics, which include a sniper scope with no BDC/ranging marks, the already discontinued Leupold HAMR, and an airsoft ACOG with the outdated chevron reticle. I remember when shooters used to hire military advisors lol.

    4. Extreme lack of content. 22 weapons. 10 maps that are entirely empty for the most part. Less destruction. Only three gamemodes in actual 2042 (Breakthrough, Conquest, Hazard Zone). Clearly this is in place to drip feed us content under the live service model.

    5. Portal is not the savior that was promised. It was the only thing that approached fun for me in the 10 hour trial, but really just represented worse versions of already beloved games. You’re only getting 2 maps per game and an incredibly limited pool of weapons. Funnily enough BC2 and BF3 even share weapons and vehicles, for instance the change of BF3’s US helicopters now just being the ones from BC2 (clearly saving time on recreating the actual assets from each game). I don’t know 1942 as well because I haven’t played it since grade school, but they even removed MCOM stations from Rush on Caspian Border and Valparaiso lol. Portal weapons and movement are considerably worse than the original games. And the editor (which is online and not usable from the actual game) is pretty limited, from vehicles/weapons being locked to their base game factions to not being able to separately enable/disable the minimap and the larger map for instance. There are even editor settings that are available for TDM/FFA but not Conquest/Rush for no apparent reason.

    This can hardly be called a Battlefield game. It can’t be called a good game either. So much for the “love letter” to the fans DICE promised.    … Expand

The specialists system is the worst part, it breaks the inmersion, it makes the game feel more like a hero shooter (overwatch) than a real war game.

    I normally don't write game reviews. I'm doing it this time so Dice hopefully gets the message.
    This game sucks.
    They tried to do a strange combination of COD and Battlefield and it just doesn't work. I HATE the specialists. After every game you get a cringy voiceline from them. Also, as is tradition this new Battlefield launched in a completely broken state. But what's new right?    I normally don't write game reviews.

    But Battlefield 2042 has so many core problems which are probably unfixable - I don't have high hopes for it.
    My recommendation? DO NOT BUY! Grab it when its 20 bucks in a few months if you want to.    … Expand

    Mas eu já acho que o fracasso do BF não vem disso, e sim da mal administração e uso do que tentaram aproveitar e não aproveitaram, a essencia do BF foi literalmente obliterada nesse jogo, não tem nada dos outros jogos da franquia nesse, e literalmente tem um downgrade na jogabilidade. O que é triste, pq o realismo era o que mais me prendia, agora se fosse pra ser um jogo viajado, eu vou pro COD que me divirtor mais mesmo kk.

As of now there is just so much wrong with the game. If you are playing on the older generation of consoles, the delay is so bad the game is nearly unplayable. For the newest generation of consoles, there are still problems with his registration. The decision to go with specialists instead of the traditional solider/class system was a big mistake. The specialists do have the traditional classes rolled into them to an extent, though it does not work very well. Gameplay is not enjoyable, as vehicles such as the Volte, Nightbird, and more are extremely overpowered, to the point where they are game breaking. There are certain guns as well such as the K30 among a few that are leagues above the rest, which puts newer players who do not have these guns at a disadvantage. In addition to all of this, when you are downed, there is a decent chance your character will be half inside a wall, which makes teammates unable to revive you. I'm honestly not sure this game can be salvaged. With other games recently released such as Halo Infinite that I am playing much more of now, and even returning to Battlefield 1 instead, I think this game might be in a doomed state. Player counts being higher in Battlefield 1 and 5 seem to suggest this as well. I do hope I am wrong though.… Expand

    The game is boring, the fortnite mode has low replay potential, Portal is fun but non-rewarding and doesn't really fit in (should've been a separate project maybe) , the few imbalanced guns and Overwatch characters are pathetic and out-of-place, while preventing the identification of enemies.

There is only one thing I wish for right now...I wish I could get a refund. This is the last time I ever buy an EA game and the last time I pre-order from any company. All these corporations are just out there lying to us in their promotional material and lying to us about how the game development is progressing. I'm such a fool! I have officially uninstalled the game. You win this round EA, you got my money, you thieves.

    Here is a list of **some of the things** this game messed up:
    -After 3 patches, for me anyways, it plays worse with constant hitching and rubber banding, even on the 64 player modes.
    -The UI is convoluted and annoying to navigate. Even simply things like editing your "classes" takes way too many clicks. What was wrong with how BF4 did it?
    -There are only 22 guns in the base game this is so boring, especially because there are only a few that are actually useful. Even worse, because there are only 22 guns progression is drawn out and slow. I know there are more guns in portal mode, but those are half baked implementations that have zero progress, barley any attachments and are only usable in portal mode which is not the reason people bought this game.
    -Portal feels like something they slapped into the game to make it feel like there is more content then there actually is. The main game is pathetic compared to past games, there are no smaller game modes like TDM, Domination, Rush (outside of limited time modes), conquest small. There is only 128 player conquest and 128 player breakthrough. Why?
    -The maps are universal in size. If ​you get stuck without a vehicle, which happens all the time because they FORCE you to spawn at the beginning of a match even if all the vehicles are full leaving you to walk a quarter mile over them hills to get to an objective. Yes there is a vehicle call in system but that is disabled at the beginning of the match, so do yourself a favor and redeploy to save time. There is just far too much down time between objectives, how this passed QA is beyond me. In my opinion, there isn't a single good map in this poop stain of a game they all feel way too large and have too little cover. So prepare for the ride of your life getting shot from ever direction imaginable and being struck down by helicopters, because its open season for foot soldiers.
    -The specialist are super lame, they should have just stuck with classes like always. The specialist's voice lines are completely contrary to the tone set by the initial trailers and cinematics. They tell jokes and brag, its odd. At the very least they could have put certain specialists into specific classes so you know what type of class any given specialist is. I would have preferred classes like always and sells skins for those, easy. You don't need lame looking, lame sounding, sorry excuse for a COD character specialists. Open up them wallets for an exciting future of $20 ridiculous looking skins and extreme class confusion.
    -The amount of missing features compared to past games is too long to list here, just look it up.
    -The most annoying thing out of all of this is people bought the expensive versions of the game to play early but got an absolute garbage can of a game and now a month later the game is close to %50 off LOL...F me, right??? No apology and no guarantee there will be future content (look at BF5 for how their promises turn out). EA hates you.

    I'm pretty confident in assuming there are no original developers left at Dice, they are either a failed studio or shackled by EA's corporate greed. This game makes a mockery of the franchise. I've had enough of this.    … Expand

    Lets be clear here. It has 90 % less content than BF3. BF3 was a blast, BF4 was a nice upgrade from BF3.
    -less weapons
    -less vehicles -less maps -no classes, why would add some race+gender lock on a person in a war game? -less atachments -less modules -no scoreboard -no changing squad/team or voicechat -poop graphics -more bugs -crashes,lags -progress system is terrible    Lets be clear here.

    -cringe phrases like it seems its fortnite game
    Its played by 99% male audience by adding black, asian woman, mexican man , but no asian man you dont clear your company name for following todays standarts. So the way its played is not a team representing a country, but 64 cringe characters with the same faces from fortnite. Btw did you know Russian and US military has like 50%+ of black and asian women on their side, source-this game.

    70 dollars for a very broken game with no campaign and not much to say for itself. feels like all they put work into was the maps and that's it because the rest of the game is severely undercooked with multiple bugs and glitches, also the leveling system is so broke how you have to grind like crazy to even get a good run, overall idk how this game ended up being able to release in this70 dollars for a very broken game with no campaign and not much to say for itself. feels like all they put work into was the maps and that's it because the rest of the game is severely undercooked with multiple bugs and glitches, also the leveling system is so broke how you have to grind like crazy to even get a good run, overall idk how this game ended up being able to release in this state is beyond me.… Expand

    Game is trash, worse BF ever and most likely lowest quality to budget ratio game of the past 10 years.

    Full of bugs, lack of content, quality is low and optimization is horrendous... Good luck playing it without a 3080.

    Shame on EA and Dice on doing something so bad.

    Game crashing, unable to join games. Graphics poorly optimized, with bad maps and reused textures. Poor hit detection, and overall class system makes no sense. Don’t buy.

    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.
