    Bad optimisation (one frame-rate on all settings), bad gunplay, and, also, there is very little content in the game. Because of the big maps, you run half a day to the desired point, die, and run again. If i want to play arma, i will play in arma. I very upset by the game, had high hopes for the people from dice, but got an unfinished game… refand

    Destructibility bad, sounds bad, but good graphics. This Battlefield is not Battlefield. This is CoD, and this is very bad. And also this game have censorship in chat. This is better than BF5, but worst than other parts

    2042 alienates part of Battlefields core player base. The inclusion of Portal doesn't go far enough to make up for their changes in fundamental gameplay. It's bad enough that it carries over into portal making it an unclean experience. Portal doesn't feel like battlefield either. It feels like I'm playing a different game that copied battlefields maps. The maps look great even though they2042 alienates part of Battlefields core player base.

Portal doesn't feel like battlefield either. It feels like I'm playing a different game that copied battlefields maps. The maps look great even though they aren't faithful recreations. It just doesn't play right.

    The battlefield series has always had this magical feeling of being a military sim and an arcade game in one making it easily accessible. You could jump on the game and act like a complete idiot and have a lot of fun or you could go sweaty, get your adrenaline pumped up, and compete for top spot while trying not to throw your keyboard through your monitor. Hell, you could even do both at the same time. However, the sim stuff was never **** with. It would draw you in and get your heart racing as you battled your way through the maps. Everything felt proper.

    As a competitive player the only thing that kept me playing was the need to get good enough to place in a decent position to be able to enjoy the game the way it was meant to be played because I was really bad at it when I started. While I don't mind people running around acting like idiots because I do it myself, I don't want to loose what has kept me drawn to battlefield for the last 15 years.

    With 2042 they threw the simulation and competition out the window. It's all play and little work. I can't take this factionless, classless, scoreboard less, stat less, XP exploitable, moon vehicle physics, 3rd person takedown piece of **** seriously. The realism is gone, The Competition is gone. It's 100% an arcade game with few military sim features now. They have changed the fundamentals of battlefield and screwed up features that have been in the ENTIRE battlefield series. The game is flat and extremely unrewarding for me and I feel like I was ripped off.    … Expand

    UI is clunky
    No all chat
    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??)
    No enemy footsteps
    Enemies look the same as friendlies
    Have to opt out of revive every death, no idea who can actually revive me anyway
    Have to re-select spawn location every spawn
    Poor hardware optimization
    Cutscenes all over the place
    Stupid ass 'look at me' after a match
    Bullet spread / weapon inaccuracy outside of rock throwing range
    Lack of game modes
    No hardcore
    Cannot join, create, or lock a squad
    No military ranks associated with numerical ranks
    No resizable minimap
    Audio is poorly mixed
    The maps, while stunning from both a scale and visuals perspective, lack any real flow for infantry combat.
    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.
    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.
    From what I can see, DLSS is not working properly or not making any difference
    Vehicle crosshairs are pixelated
    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
    Obnoxious voice overs, operators are incredibly vocal, every time you do an action they say a line.
    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.
    Unnecessary changes to the aircraft flight characteristics from BF4 models
    On the spawn screen screen tanks/helis use the same icon, you simply cannot tell if that's a transport or attack heli that you are spawning into.
    When in tank, you don't have this little tank outline which tells you where the driver and gunner are looking at.
    No maps with water and thusly no boats.. despite there being a big ass boat on the loading screen.
    No stats page
    No commander
    No squad points for issuing orders or following them
    No HOTAS support
    No marksman headshot bonus for long range snipes
    Melee takedown animations have been gutted. All enemies are brought to a standing position before one specific kill is performed.
    Revive is glitched when downed teammate's head is too close to something.
    Cannot tell if there is room to enter a friendly vehicle without trying to get in it.
    Cannot dive underwater 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. Non-removable profanity filter Repairing vehicles does not give XP Faction locked weapons and gadgets in Portal No rule editor support for objective based game modes Grappling Hook is afraid of smoke Bullets are afraid of power lines Zoom issues with sniper scopes Inability to switch teams Vehicle entry and exit animations have been removed 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. Lack of destruction/levelution ADS required to change weapon fire mode Cannot move while prone and ADS Crossplay issues on Xbox 'Assist Counts as Kill' has been removed No fixed heavy weapons No zeroing sniper scopes, starting scope (not sure about the others) has no hash marks on reticle for references AA rocket damage appears inconsistent BF5 movement mechanics removed And BF42 Portal is not like old BF42 at all. Weapons missing, wrong weapons, not the same medkit, vehicles are different, no healing/ammo stations, can't repair plane at the airfield, vehicles have infinity ammo and they now shoot in a straight line (Simplified).    … Expand

    Really disappointed. Doesn't feel or play like battlefield to me. Missing basic functions and destruction feels underwhelming. Specialists are also a backwards step with the effective removal of classes, purely trying to cash in and copy COD.

    I am gonna be straight forward, this game sucks.
    I have been a huge fan of Battlefield games and I have enjoyed it a lot and I put thousands of hours in previous games.
    You thought they messed up in V? Nope if you are gonna compare 2042 with 5, oh boy! 5 is million times better. What's bad with this? Class doesn't matter. Scoreboard gone, UI **** and low effort i have ever seen, maps?    I am gonna be straight forward, this game sucks.

Scoreboard gone, UI **** and low effort i have ever seen, maps? Worst...you ask why? Empty maps with 4-5 buildings thousand steps apart and that's the map design for all of the maps and you know what even they are optimised extremely poorly and this games shows that there was lowest effort put in the map design, i wouldn't even call it a design a kid draws better maps with his toys then this AAA title. Gun play is not so bad but it doesn't feel like I am playing a bf game. Even when it gives 60 fps and that i on a lowest settings possible on GTX 1070 it feels clunky, game is not smooth at all, optimization is of the biggest issue with the game even if you ignore everything and I have not even touched the bugs part. See the thing is this game is never going to be fixed and it wasn't even intended to be good in the first place, from time to time all these greedy AAA game companies have been pushing thier games as aservice thing and don't value you or care about quality etc. Just do yourself a favour and don't buy these games.

Bf4, bf1, and bfv are a much better option and take themselves seriously. This is for kids. As a fan since bf2, I'm extremely disappointed and let down. On a positive note.

    Issues:

    Maps are way too big with no detail, definitely rushed. There are vast tracts of land with zero detail, cover, anything. Just CLEARLY unfinished work.
    Destruction is a major downgrade, EA flat out lied on this one.

    The UI is an embarrassment.
    A college team of interns could have crafted a better UX.
    No VoIP
    No Scoreboard
    No "All" Chat
    The 2042 voice lines are so cringe I mute the game sometimes.
    Performance is mediocre on my high end PC
    The specialist system is disgusting and ruins the flow of the game. No need for teamwork/collaboration anymore. It's just a free for all where no one knows what to do, leading to horribly unbalanced matches.
    No squad switching. So if you're alone in a squad with no one to spawn on to, you're beat.
    Endless glitches and bugs that require restarting the game.
    The gameplay itself is average. Specialists really degrade the experience. Why wouldn't you just play COD at this point? (Which is a stable game on a great engine BTW)

    Portal is pretty fun if you happen to find a good server with settings/weapons/class system from the older games. No surprise, all of that still works really well, and is a breath of fresh air. Literally the only thing remotely redeeming about this game. Really hoping that this part of the game can thrive because there's truly nothing else like it on the market.

    Overall, just really sad to see how far this franchise has plummeted in the past few years. And we thought BFV was bad.

    Don't buy it. Wait.

    Update: Updating the score to a 2/10. The nostalgia wears off quick after a couple days of portal. The voice lines, aesthetic, and UI of this game are honestly unsalvageable. I'll just play cod and I can't believe I'd ever say that.    … Expand

    They removed stuff that was deemed great in previous installments, like the more realistic movement animations from BFV eg. wall vaulting, cover leaning, prone positions. An essential part of the entire identity of Battlefield called destruction (yeah, remember that?). Adding to this, the positional audio is completely cocked, the performance is less than ideal on a high-end system (5950X, 32GB, RTX 3080) and even all else aside, this game keeps crashing every single match I get to join if the servers are stable enough to let me connect.

    EDIT 17th November: I have a hypothesis that this game is somehow coded in a manner that it's very sensitive to hardware instabilities, and I think that my ram was a contributing factor because the cpu couldn't keep up at 1:1 ratio as ryzen likes it. Reduced memory speed and no crashes since. Mind you this hasn't happened in other games.

    The only reason I have given this game a 3/10, which I already think is quite generous is, because I love this franchise. After missing out on the previous two games by my own accord I'd like to be back, believe that they're gonna actually deliver on their promise that this game is made for the community, and not a lie.    … Expand

    Pretty much all concerns everyone had were true: the specialist system makes no sense and defeats any cohesion that may have existed, making every single soldier on the battlefield play and build their class solely for themselves.

The UI is absolutely atrocious and doesn't build on any UI customization from the previous games, from the awful tiny minimap to flag markers not disappearing while aiming and covering up enemies to the fact that the only way to identify enemies is by a color of a dot over their head, which leads to laughable situations where players run past their enemies thinking they're friends, and a remarkable amount of friendly fire. The gameplay is stiff and controls unresponsive, the gunplay is awful and the (admittedly, not all will agree) terrible weapon accuracy/bloom system is so much worse than in any game before. Graphically impressive, but ruined by vaseline TAA you can't turn off, and terrible framerate on a 9900k + 3080ti. The sound design is very good, but once again marred by some of the worst directional sound I've heard in a videogame, with a range of bugs from hearing footsteps of someone 300 meters away like they're directly behind you to not hearing tank cannon shots right next to you. Increase in player counts is a great idea in theory, but ruined by both the developers (completely unfitting map design) and the players themselves (the match turns into two blobs of 64 players running between capture points, with the only gunfights really happening when they meet or when helicopters come into play). Adding AI to multiplayer matches is an absolutely baffling idea, and the half-braindead artificial teammates make each match look even more like a bunch of headless chickens running around an open field. Map design, while absolutely gorgeous to look at, is atrocious for gameplay, with huge open areas where infantry is practically useless, while snipers and vehicles have a field day. Portal as it is is woefully lacking in content (much like the rest of the game), and the server browser won't even tell you the rules of any of the bazillion servers beyond tags like "custom points" or "changed movement". Protagonist specialists don't shut up, other specialists scream from both sides of the trenches in all kinds of languages throwing me off. The guns are laughably low quality, from attachments misaligned with the gun itself to 7.62 firearms using 5.56 suppressors to animations being incorrect for the specific firearm (see the bolt on the ACR during firing or the preparation/initial spawn animation on the AK74U), DESPITE BEING CORRECT IN THE PREVIOUS GAMES.

    I'm really disappointed by this game. I've bought every Battlefield game up until now, but this time they've completely missed the mark. This game has no identity. It feels like a mixture of several other games, and it just doesn't feel like a battlefield game at all. Why try to fix something that isn't broken? Sometimes it's better to stick with what works..

It feels like a mixture of several other games, and it just doesn't feel like a battlefield game at all. Why try to fix something that isn't broken? Sometimes it's better to stick with what works..
    It seems like they've tried to reinvent the wheel when it comes to every aspect of this game.
    There's not even a classic scoreboard in the game, so you can't see how you're doing compared to everyone else, which makes the game feel bland, boring, and not competitive at all.

    They have also removed the traditional class system and instead gone for more of a "hero shooter" approach, with different characters that you can upgrade using microtransactions. The problem with this is that now almost every character looks the same, and it's extremely different to tell the enemy apart from friendlies.
    They've also removed tons of other features that made battlefield unique as a franchise.

    The end result is a game that just feels empty and without identity. The maps are too big and empty, and often times it feels more like a walking simulator now, despite the fact that there are now 128 players.
    The graphics are not really much improved either. In some cases BF5 actually looks better, but yet the game is terribly optimized and runs poorly even on the RTX 3080 in some cases.

    There's not even in-game chat anymore. You can't join the squad you want to join etc. Every server is now also filled with bots, which are not very satisfying to kill. Because you can't see the scoreboard you can't even see how many bots are actually on the server.
    It's pretty clear that this game is not finished yet and should never have been released in this state.

    Seriously, there's not even a scoreboard! A competitive shooter with no scoreboard....

    What's even the point of playing when you can't compare your performance to everyone else? That competitive element is what makes playing games fun. Without such a basic feature it just feels pointless, more like a simulator, which quickly becomes boring, unfortunately.

    If you're looking for that classic "battlefield" experience then you'll be disappointed. It's so bad that I actually canceled my purchase for the first time ever.
    I recommend that you hold off buying this for several months until they've fixed the most critical issues.    … Expand

    Probably the best Battlefield since BF2, and that's saying something considering BF3 was phenomenal.
    Switching up the formula to specialists instead of classes makes the gameplay more interesting and dynamic. You'll never get bored.

    This game seems like Call of Duty rather than Battlefield. The most fun can be found on Portal playing Battlefield 3 maps, the tanks, helis and guns have the right feeling. There are cool items in the main game but I don't find it much fun, there is no team play and full of people shooting you in the back.. It is hard to get an armoured vehicle and progress to get upgrades.

    10 steps backwards. There is nothing here to compel fans of the series to invest their time or money, I guess it’s back to BF1 for me.

    Edit: After a longer play time, I can genuinely say that I was wrong. This game is fun, and it has a LOT of potential. I’m excited to see what it becomes 6 months from now, don’t let the hate machine keep you from at least giving it a try.

    WAY too big (and open, barren) maps, negates the point of 128 players in Conquest. Conquest 64 in old games was far more intense. What moron thought this up? 128 could have been great, such wasted potential

    No classes, really? Classes, destruction, vehicles, that's the 3 key pillars of what makes Battlefield Battlefield. You can't just take one pillar out, and replace it with system that is designed to sell cosmetic MTX. Voice acting and design of Specialists is cringe AF. Actually BOTS have the best looking uniforms, you envy bots in this game.

    Even if they fix all the bugs and terrible hitreg, those will never be fixed.

    KILLED FEATURES

    No scoreboard
    No stats
    No destruction (compared to any past BF game)
    No locked squads
    No voice chat
    No all chat (in M rated game... for your protection)
    No platoons
    No server browser (except Portal)
    No emblems
    No BFV movement system like promised, you can't even lean

    TERRIBLE GUNS

    Worst random spread in franchise history. It was fine in Beta, they made changes....
    22 guns, including pistols
    All guns feel the same
    Pathetic customization, the barrel attachments for example are mostly COSMETIC

    TERRIBLE FLIGHT MODEL AIR VEHICLES

    Flight model of air vehicles is a joke (just like Beta). Any noob can dominate in heli
    Skill it took to fly helis in Battlefield 4 is GONE.
    Jets on the other hand are useless. They did no changes from Beta, seriously
    Tanks, pretty much useless against a decent heli pilot
    Hovercraft, better than any tank (and can climb walls)
    Glitchy turrets

    HAZARD ZONE aka HAHA ZONE

    Boring and will be dead after 2 weeks. I can see why there wasn't much trailers. No stakes into the games

    PORTAL

    Portal could be great, but it has inherited crap from the main game, like the air vehicle physics. The air vehicles are not original, they are reskins of the 2042 vehicles! Same terrible 2042 flight model.

    People use Portal to farm 1HP bots for XP mainly... and DICE didn't see this coming?

    El Alamein map is just a flat desert... yeah it looks good, but 20 year old map design shows...
    PC PERFORMANCE Performance is abysmal. Not everyone can afford a RTX 3090, and even with that you will be lucky to hit 100 frames. OTHER PROBLEMS 2042 maps are filled with copypaste buildings and cargo containers. CONTAINERS everywhere. Sound design is a downgrade, directional audio is terrible. Graphics don't actually even look good. BF1 from 2016 looks far better. Portal is the only thing showing promise, but you can just go play the real BF3 right now? The experience of Portal is not pure, it's some sort of weird bastard child of 2042 and the old game. It inherits some of the bad mechanics from the main game, like air physics. Gunplay isn't original either. Three years of development, 4 studios working on it, no campaign, "ahead of schedule" and "love letter to fans" and this is what they come up with??? Battlefield is dead I'm sad to say. DO NOT BUY.    … Expand

    Played it to level 40 in the hope that unlocking other stuff might make it better for some reason but ofc it didnt.

    So much tweaking has to be done, the maps rubberband like crazy on certain events (like the oil tanks exploding) even on single player.
    Lobby emptying after a game, no server browser, try to get more than 4 friends into the same game. Good luck.

    No squad management whatsoever, cant see who has ammo packs, weird movement bugs.

    Gotta say it again, the specialists are still the worst thing to happen with battlefield
    The lock-on range for the rocket launchers are disappointingly short.
    Disappointing gamemodes, Portal is filled with terrible options as of yet aswell as xp servers. Might be good once someone makes a server that's actually good, didn't like that the feel of BF2042 carries over to the Old game servers. Kind of kills my memories of BF3 and BC2.

    They did fix some stuff by the time the game launched but they are still like 2 years away from the game being remotely worth any money. Even a 1€ gamepass would make me want a refund.    … Expand

    No classes ?
    Wingsuits ? Grappling hooks ? Robots ? Deployable shields ?
    Tornadoes destroying everything ?
    BOTS ??

    This is a disgrace.
    The licence is officially dead and is now an APEX-like pile of mainstream garbage. Well done, after destroying FIFA you killed BF for good.

    This game does not feel like a BF game at all. Who knew that this game would make BFV look like a godsend. This game probably needed like another 6 months in development. It needs a massive overhauling and if they dont make some significant changes asap, this game will be dead in 3 months.

And using COD/R6/Apex mechanics on a battlefield map doesn't make it a battlefield game. We don't play this game for the aesthetics, we play it for the GAME. EA has somehow missed the reason why battlefield fans are battlefield fans and not COD fans. THEY'RE DIFFERENT GAMES. If I wanted to play COD, R6, Apex, etc. I would be playing those games instead. Specialists are the stupidest, most derivative, and most boring option they could have gone with. They ruin the game, as it's no longer a battlefield title without clear cut classes and class roles. The last thing battlefield needs is less team players. Gone are the days of squad synergy and team play. You want ammo, health, or reps? Too bad, you better bring your own damn kit. Because no one will be healing or resupplying you. They even removed quick chat options to request supplies, which I would be more sad about if the specialist system didn't already make it impossible to figure out who can actually supply you or heal you. Also now I can be a self reviving sniper with near unlimited ammo resupply, so screw balance I guess. Generally, the game is alright. Nothing special, and I would certainly rather play BF4 or 5. If they remove the specialists from conquest mode, the game would go up to a six or seven in my opinion. But right now I can't rate it any higher than a two since it absolutely and completely fails at even being something close to resembling a battlefield game.

    It's crazy to me how hard they marketed this game towards die-hard battlefield fans and community members, and then immediately turned around and released some weird Frankenstein of a game meant to appeal to everyone EXCEPT battlefield fans. The only kind of Battlefield players who would enjoy this game are the ones who don't help their team, and treat every game as if it was a solo deathmatch. Coincidentally these are the players that the community hates the most. Prior to the release of 2042, they just ran off to a different game. But EA has basically just given battlefield to them with this release. So, will you enjoy this game? Well. It depends. Do you like battlefield? If so this game probably isn't for you. Did you try battlefield years ago but just couldn't get into it? Then this is the one for you. EA has specifically made this game for people who were turned off by the Battlefield parts of battlefield.    … Expand

    Gun play is weak at best.
    Maps are large but empty and poorly designed making it almost impossible to advance on foot
    Sounds are base heavy and lack any treble, the sound of a rocket hitting a tank sound more like someone stamping on a wet sponge . (using steelseries arctis pro headset)
    Graphics are odd / not good. Somehow they manage to be both soft and have hard outlines on objects. Seems somewhat cartoonish.
    Performance is poor. DLSS somehow reduced fps for me and also resulted in an effect like a swarm of bees in the peripheral vision, had to turn it off. (RTX 3080 plus OC i7 8700K) 60 to 75 FPS aprox on Ultra.
    Almost impossible to get a tank, heli etc with call in system. (they need to spawn on captured points!
    No enough guns in general.
    Also due to lack of class system you rank up unlocking random weapons and not a specific weapon type, i.e. cant focus on Assault weapons or sniper rifles etc.

Even if it were to work properly the way they designed this game is absolutely embarrassing. Every map is terrible. They are all insanely open with nothing on them. Want to run to another area to fight people? Run 10 minutes. The guns don’t do anything at a range either so what’s the point of the maps being so open? And chances are, your not going to make it to that next area, because vehicles are more op then they’ve ever been in battlefield. Right as you spawn, chances are there’s a helicopter above you and 2 hovercrafts and a tank around you. You’ll spawn in the open and just die. You have no chance as a foot soldier. Even if you do carry a rocket it takes 5 to take anything down, more than you have. And you’ll just die in one shot by any vehicle so your going to die several times trying to take one down. And if you do, congrats, there’s still 3 more around you that you have no chance against. The games also lacking so much content compared to every other battlefield ever. Not very many guns and you unlock all of them by just simply leveling up instead of leveling up the class or anything interesting. There’s also specialists that should never be in games but are especially badly made in this. There’s so much more to say is bad including the graphics if you care about that. Basically the game is incredibly bad. And they won’t let me get a refund! It’s a joke.… 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.
