    As a BF fanboy, I tried. I tried to convince myself purchasing the game was worthy, to find any good point in this game. I can't. Everything is wrong in BF2042. Maps are wrong, removing classes is wrong, gunplay is wrong, servers are wrong, the customization in battle just makes strong weapons stronger, the details we saw in BF4 and 1 are gone, Portal is simply inferior to the classics.

    in gaming industry, the customers pay $60 to do the job that someone failed miserably at.

    This time around, DICE have skipped the campaign mode and dedicated an additional year to the development of BF 2042. Before any of the playtests, it seemed like DICE finally understood what makes a Battlefield game. They paid homage to the older titles, as well as legendary "only in Battlefield" moments, most notably rendezook, and at this point it looked like we're finally getting the one game that will dethrone BF4

    Then the beta arrived, which was unfortunately a very accurate portrayal of the final release.
    Personally, I hated the Orbital map, and at least had hopes the other maps won't be as empty.

    Maps: The size and design of the maps remind me of BF3: Armored Kill DLC which, as veteran players might remember, are designed for vehicle combat. The maps were amazing back in BF3, because they were an option in the huge roster that the game had.
    2042 however doesn't have any other style of maps, with the common theme being a lack of cover, which makes infantry combat absolutely boring.
    Destruction-wise, this game seems to take a step over 10 years back, providing an absolutely underwhelming damage model with very few walls being destructible.

    Class system: Replaced by a lackluster operator system. Out of the entire roster, the only operator which currently feels fun to play is Mackay, who has a zipline that can be used to traverse the massive maps quicker.

    Gunplay: Absolutely awful, currently standing with 22 weapons, and 1 meta gun that everyone uses. Don't have it unlocked? tough luck.
    If you're using an SMG, LMG or AR, your bullets fly absolutely everywhere except where you aim.

    Matchmaking: Awful, with complete lack of basic features as - switching teams, joining squad with friends, server browser
    Progression: Slow and boring
    Soundtrack and sound design: Awful
    UI: Awful

    Verdict: If you're hoping that this game will be eventually saved by someone as was the case of BF4 back in the day.. don't get your hopes too high.
    This is not a good game, which just has a few technical issues that need to be polished,
    if this title ever wants to be successful it needs a complete ground-up overhaul.    … Expand

    -| Already flooded with cheaters

    -| A damn Hovercraft is stronger than a damn "jeep", ye RUBBER is very strong material guys....

    -| Rubberbanding is normal in this game

    -| Vehicle physics are pretty much on a prototype level at max.

    -| You cannot revive most of your mates, because they will drop their weapon & weapon pickup interaction overlaps the revive interaction, so you can watch your mate dying while he can watch you swapping weapons like crazy instead of helping him

    -| No scoreboard, they want everyone to feel good -> But this makes just everyone feel like an idiot who has to be hidden everywhere possible

    -| German translation is cringe, you have to "reject" all information windows instead of confirm them or something. But even more cringe is the wrong gendering in the translation & the gendering in general

    -| They did not listened the last 10 years at least

    -| People will buy this crap anyway, which is sad and destroys how the videogame industry works

    -| Again -> Cheaters on mass

    -| And again, Cheaters on mass already in early access versions

    -| Really bad game design in general. Eg. you spawn in a damn heli which is about to crash already and you cannot do anything as the parachute has some buggy cooldown or it won't open at all in different situations.

    Bullet spread does NOT follow gun aim during recoil, but rather it is random and comically extreme, with bullets going everywhere but where the gun is actually pointed. Note that this is not a player aiming skill issue, the issue is that bullets are randomly shot off in directions other than where the gun is actually pointing, irrespective of how good your aim is. Although it is true that some deviation is expected, even for perfect aim in real life shooting, the amount of deviation in BF2042 bullet spread is comically extreme. You've heard of gun accuracy being measured in MOA or sub-MOA? BF2042 gives you gun accuracy in the tens of degrees!!! It is unusably broken to the point where player aim doesn't even factor into the equation.

    Lobby disbands after each match and goes back into searching for a lobby, so you don't get to play with the same people. Is this because EA cheaped out on server capacities and thus this gives everyone a fairer share of play vs waiting to play? As opposed to letting everyone play, with little waiting time, if they'd had enough servers with enough capacity?

    Getting spawned into the death animation is so much fun!

    Vehicles are being used to spawn trap kill, because of poor map design.

    No campaign, to focus on multiplayer and THIS is what we get!?!?!?

    Absolutely a disaster and a waste of money. Do not buy this crap game. It's disappointing on ever level. The only good thing I have to say is some of the sound effects are pretty cool.

    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. It covers the entire screen, it requires using the mouse to select the options, but not clicking on them for some reason, you have to depress Q. This needs to be redesigned into a friendlier and smaller semi-transparent wheel. Plus, it's not contextual at all and it doesn't seem to have an impact to other players, I requested ammo constantly and nobody even saw my request. VEHICLES No separate Heli & Jet controls. Horizontal pitch (or yaw) when set to mouse movement is inverted by design and cannot be inverted again like vertical pitch can. So your aircraft goes the other way than your mouse does. No HOTAS support Vehicle crosshairs are pixelated as **** Vehicle entry and exit animations have been removed Option for 'Vehicle Aim Relative Control' missing Unnecessary changes to the aircraft flight characteristics from BF4 models No maps with water and thusly no boats.. despite there being a big ass boat on the loading screen. Cannot tell if there is room to enter a friendly vehicle without trying to get in it.    … 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.

    A terrible breakaway from the core of Battlefield that violates parts of it's core player base.

    The best part of battlefield was the realism aspect. It was a dirty gritty war game that was bound by the laws of physics. The arcade aspects and Simulation aspects were all balanced. This time they took that idea and threw it out the window making a lot of the game un immersive. It now feels cartoony and bland with the arcade aspects overwhelming the simulation aspects of the game.

    Next they took stats and threw anything negative out the window. No more scoreboard. No more competition. You have no way to see how you performed compared to anyone else other than seeing how you rank among the squads. The current setup is unrewarding and XP is just a way to unlock the paltry selection of items for your loadouts.

    Between these two problems they have fundamentally altered design of Battlefield moving it from a mature audience to a general audience.

    The inclusion of Portal mode is lackluster and cheap with many assets and physics being recycled from 2042 and is a terrible apology for what they are doing.

    In addition the game is launching with several severe game breaking bugs that will take time to fix. These bug are so terrible that the game cannot even be played as intended. Id just list some but there's sooooo many, it's even worse than the beta test.

    The game is also overall extremely unbalanced, with guns and vehicles getting a ton of complaints (the main selling point btw). Maps are pretty sparse with wide open spaces and little to no cover making infantry play all but worthless. Daily XP limits are limiting the amount of time I even want to play. And many other strange and bizarre issues that I just don't understand.

    As a lover of the entire battlefield series as bumpy as it's been this is by far the worst title ever created and I have to insist for the first time ever not to buy a Battlefield title.
    Please DO NOT buy this game

Eventually, when you due they are filled with AI-controlled "bots" due to lack of real players.

    Now let's pretend you DO get into a server.. you're welcomed with server lag, fps drops, guns with horrendous hit registration, and bugs such as your character getting stuck in limbo after a death which is only fixed by closing and restarting the who game making you miss out on everything earned in that round of play.

    Quite simply it is so horrendous there should probably be a class-action lawsuit filed for false advertisement and/or fraud because there is no possibility a AAA developer the likes of DICE and EA should be able to sell a game that is fundamentally broken in every way imaginable.

    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.
