    This game is the most stinky pile of sh*t I've had the displeasure of playing. The devs should be ashamed and EA deserves all the hate it gets. They keep getting away with scamming people, charging 60$ or more for early access and don't care about the consumer's experience .Vote with your money, don't buy this game.

    This really doesn't feel like a Battlefield game, it feels like a hodgepodge of other games like Warzone, Fortnite and Apex. EA/DICE failed to include scoreboards, player stat profiles, server selections and chat. Also somewhat buggy, granted games at launch and bugs go hand and hand, but not being able to revive other player is a big issue.

    Season 1 is not even close to 1/10th content of what we got in BF3 ou BF4...

    I'm mad, after Command and Conquer we all can say : they killed another loved IP i have no hope for the future...

    PLEASE do not buy it, may be just try some old battelfields (3/4/5) they are infinitely better.

    Worst Battlefield ever made. Only 2 good point i see : crossplay/crossprogression and 128 players.
    The rest ? 10 steps back on all aspect on the game.

    Huge huge shame for Dice and EA. 5 teams on this game. 3 development years (or more) for this crap ?

    My specs: Nvidia Gefore 2060, 16GB Memory, M.2 SSD, 9th Gen Intel i7. Played on High and Low settings @ 1080P.

    Issues:
    - Constant rubber banding (similar to lag/latency) even with a ping of 4ms. Mostly happen on certain maps and when there is a lot going on. Due to this, you experience poor hit reg. For example, shooting someone 3 times in the chest with a shotgun from 5 meters and only the last shot counts. Other examples include teleporting through walls or on top of objects. Flying a Helicopter, teleporting through the air and into buildings.
    - Poorly optimized. Similar framerate on low and high settings. Maybe a 5-10fps difference.
    - No Squad management in-game, can't switch between squads for example. Can't even see members of other squads.
    - No scoreboard.
    - No classes (There will be "meta" loadout and specialist combinations that everyone will use).
    - Un-populated Portal, Breakthrough and Hazard Zone servers. This might be a region issue, as the matchmaking seems to only match on low latency.
    - Dice said if matchmaking fails to find a match, it will start a game with bots. I have yet to see this happen.
    - Can't host portal servers (Global quota reached error)
    - No dedicated / self-managed servers.
    - User interface can be counterintuitive and confusing in certain areas.
    - Numerous balancing issues. For example helicopter AA rocket lock-on jets, you need to be extremely close. Yet infantry AA seems to have a much further range.
    The PP-29 is the most powerful short to medium range weapon. The Assualt rifles don’t compete against it very well. The AK has extreme recoil to the point where it is very underpowered medium range.
    - Hovercraft is the most meta thing in the game. Oblivious to rocket fire and tank shells.
    - It feels like the maps don’t encourage tactical gameplay very much. In comparison to Battlefield 3 maps for example.
    - Most buggy and glitchy Battlefield I have ever played.

    Personal Background:
    Started playing competitively during the Bad Company 2 years and continued throughout Battlefield 3 until the launch of BF4. Took part in many tournaments and competitions. Was looking forward to a good comeback to those modern/future eras, with good tactical gameplay and map layouts.

    Conclusion:
    Overall the game can be fun to play at times (when it works as expected). There are some good innovations and some not so great/confusing. And I can imagine a much better experience on a high-end machine, running a 3080 or 2080 graphics card. There is a lot of potential with Portal, but that feels wasted without dedicated self-managed servers and the inability to host due to "Global quota reached" errors.

    Recommend waiting a while until the game is out of "early access" and also having a high enough spec-ed machine before buying.    … Expand

    Teams and squads. Sure you can join as a squad of 4 friends... but if you're the 5th, then you're **** outta luck! No guarantee you get on the same side in a match. Hell, not even sure you get on the same server! As there is no server browser. None at all...

    The weapon balance and weapons... Ohhh lord have mercy... Did they like take one shot with each gun and said, yeah, this will do? The SMGs will outdo any AR even in long range. Snipers are everywhere, and nowhere to hide in wast open areas. Vehicle guns take more shots to kill than a small SMG from 50 meters... Bullet trajectory and speed is complete bull****. Tracking and hitting feels completly wrong. And in many cases you wont even get to know if the dude you're shooting as is friend or foe...

    Do NOT buy this game... It is unfinished.
    The game balance is completly broken and the whole game is still in beta state.    … Expand

    Just utter trash. There are so many poor decisions that a 5 year old can comprehend. Check the subreddit r/battlefield2042 you will see the consensus. Only the fanboys really enjoy the game and I'm convinced that's due to the sunk cost fallacy. If you want to try it, get it through xbox game pass. You only get a 10 hour in game time access to 2042 but I doubt you will stick around past 5 hours.

    Probably the biggest disappointment so far when it comes to BF-games. It's not just the bugs, but it's a bad game at the core which won't get fixed with any patches whatsoever. Save your money, DICE doesn't deserve it if they resort to making cheap chinese knock-off feeling games of their own franchise.

    The worst battlefield i have ever played.

    Completely stripped of all emotion and features to make room for a notyet implemented heavy monetization system.

This game is barebones to the maximum with only 22 guns in the main mode and 7 maps. The maps might be big, but they are empty as **** and not fun to fight on as infantry. Since all teamplay features have been removed anyways, even specialist follow the design philosophy of solo play. All of them are selfish as **** and there is little incentive to be a team player with the lack of rewards for actually helping other players.
    Vehicles are both **** to control and hilariously busted. Why does a ****ty hoverboat out of rubber take 5 antitank rounds to destroy, when it can move at mach 5 while ignoring gravity (see a video of it climbing buildings in hourglass). All vehicles regen health passively, there is pretty much no risk of dying if you have higher IQ than room temperature.

    Hazard zone is just a barebones spin on battle royale. Expect it to be dead quicker than BFV firestorm. Portal is cool, but the laggy ass movement of 2042 exists in portal aswell. The guns also suffer from the same random inaccuracy as the base version guns. With only 2 maps of each respective omage game. It's really not enough to save the package.

    The game runs like absolute dog**** even on a 3080 / r5 5600x setup. It's buggy, laggy and the hitreg is busted.

    SKIP THIS GAME. Maybe buy it in 2 years if it's playable, but so many core features are either missing or fundamentally ****ed up. I doubt Dice will ever be able to make this game actually decent, like they eventually managed with BFV. BFV might not be perfect, but it still miles ahead of this soulless ****heap of a game.    … Expand

    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

    After Jeff Grubb announced the postponement of the release of BF2042 to 2022, EA shares fell by 7%. In a desperation to recapture the shares, it marked the pre-mature launch of 2042. Result. A TRASH!

I can go on forever to list all missing features and content that EA and Dice like to call "legacy features." I can put all of the mentioned on one hand and the removal of the class system on another hand. The single defining feature of Battlefield is its class system. It doesn't make any sense. If the goal is to sell cosmetics, then that could've been achieved by selling different characters, similar to how Battlefield V did it. The abilities could've easily been incorporated within the class system. Hear me out on this one, if the idea is just to copy what is "popular," then people who want to play Call of Duty will play Call of Duty. People who want to play Apex will go and play Apex. People who want to play Fortnite will go and play Fortnite. All of the mentioned games are free to play BTW. So, why would anyone spend $70 to play Apex or Warzone in Battlefield? They could just download these games for free. People who want to play Battlefield are just simply left out. The core identity of the game is just gone. It's a shame that whatever they just put out has the name Battlefield attached to it. Oh did I forget to mention how horrible the performance is? My RTX 3080 and 5900X rig is struggling to keep constant FPS. The game is filled with bugs, glitches, and hit reg issues. I'm very sad that this game is just dead. In fact, the franchise as a whole is dead. EA and Dice killed them. I was patiently waiting for this "love letter to the fans" that they promised. The letter seemed to tell us that this series is dead and don't look for the light at the end of the tunnel. I keep hearing people saying give the game some time to be ironed out, just like Battlefield 4. However, Battlefield 4 didn't suffer from design issues. The core of Battlefield 4 was solid. It only suffered performance issues, which were fixed at later patches. Battlefield 2042 suffers from performance AND major core design issues. The foundation of the game is just rotten and no matter how much they can improve performance, they can't hide the rot in their core. Redesigning the game is not going to happen. This game will keep losing players and until it's dead in a matter of a few months. Nothing will redeem this game and this entire franchise. Just do me a favor, for the next "hero shooter" game you'll undoubtedly release, just drop the name "Battlefield" from it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Been waiting years to have a new modern battlefield game to succeed BF4. Been well and truly on the hype train for this and boy what a let down. Bugs and balancing issue you can excuse for a new game, but the way the game play experience has been gutted out and kidified is awful. No game chat
    No scoreboard
    Bullet spread after 30m is insane
    Pitiful selection of guns
    Hardly any unlocks for vehicles (no FLIR/NV, no gunner upgrades for choppers)
    No squad management features
    Terrible spawn selection

    I’d also like to add what a scummy, predatory company EA is as a whole. I purchased a year upfront of EA Play, and after an abysmal evening trying to play the game I specifically bought it for, I decided enough was enough and opened a support chat to get a refund. Two hours and two chats later, no refund. They flat out refuse stating it’s against policy. When they are done telling you they won’t refund you, they end the chat which wipes the chat log clean! No chat transcript emailed, no option to copy the conversation, it just vanished from the chat box. This is obviously a measure deliberately taken to ensure customers can’t easily publicly expose them. I have a dispute open with PayPal to get my money back, let’s see whether PayPal have been paid off to not refund unhappy customers.    … Expand

    - Only 22 weapons, of which 2 are actually good.
    - Attachments unlocked that are cosmetic only.
    - Some attachments do the opposite of what the description gives.
    - XP disabled in custom portal games
    - Attachment progression disabled in AoW Solo / Squad matches.
    - Crashes and disconnects
    - Persistence data error that makes the game unplayable.
    - Only two modes on 7 maps for AoW that feels like you are playing wide open fields.
    - Control points in breakthrough mode on top of skyscrapers what can't be captured because there are 11 vehicles on top.
    - Hit registration, or lack there of. You will dump an entire clip into an enemies back to have them turn around and kill you.
    - You can get in a vehicle and shoot and kill yourself because the animation still has you outside of the vehicle.
    - Crap FPS on the highest end systems. Changing the settings makes virtually no difference.
    - No stats page
    - No server browser
    - Lobby disbands after every game, no carryover
    - No distinctions between factions except the glow stick colors. Soldiers around the world wear glow sticks to make themselves unseen to the enemy. Sometimes you see the Betty White specialist kill the other Betty White specialist who is then revived by the Betty White specialist.
    - When you spawn in you are forced into an animation of chambering a round that you can't avoid. If you spawn near an enemy, you are dead.
    - Not nearly enough destruction.
    - Can't change the scale of the UI, or the zoom of the minimap.
    - No all chat

This game is half-baked, filled with bugs and missing features. Wait until they address these issues or the game goes 50-70% off - which like Battlefield 5 soon after release - it is likely to do. Among the many issues:

    1. No scoreboard, no stats, no k/d, nothing - this alone is absolutely ridiculous to be left out. WHY?
    2. No in-game voice chat. Sooo there's crossplay, but I can't talk with my console buddies in my squad? Limited in-game chat as well. This is extremely frustrating.
    3. No server browser - matchmaking only in AOW - I don't want to rely on an engine to pick my servers. I want to pick the matches I want to join based on player count, ping, maps, etc. This is ripe for a SBMM algorithm which will ruin the experience. But hey, EA/DICE don't care about that anymore
    4. Awfully inconsistent hit registration, weapon bloom, and other gameplay issues that really ruin the experience. I expect bugs, but this is more like a game that was released half-baked. Stop pre-ordering and gaming manufacturers will stop giving you such broken games.
    5. Specialists - oh how I hate them - not so much the idea, but more how they're implemented. There's no difference between teams - they both look the exact same. This leads to friendly fire and not being able to quickly tell friend from foe. I hate relying solely on blue vs red marking and highlights based on when the game thinks I'm looking at someone. Make the specialists unique to each team
    6. Specialists and classless customization eliminates team play and strategy. Everyone goes out as a lone wolf. You don't know who has ammo or who is a medic, nor does it really matter as nobody seems to play as a team/squad anymore. Completely contrary to Battlefield's identity.
    7. Poor optimization and performance even on beefy rigs - unless you have thousands of dollars available to spend on a rig, you're going to struggle to get playable framerates in its current state. I have a 3080 and 10700 11th gen processor with 32GB of RAM and I'm lucky to get more than 70-80 FPS on 1440P with serious lags and rubber banding at times.
    8. UI, while slightly improved vs the open beta, is still average.

    I could go on and on. Summary, DO NOT BUY IN CURRENT STATE. And for the love of gaming, STOP PREORDERING.

    Garbage. Total waste of time developed by hacks. No soul. Terrible ideas. Cash grab. Garbage garbage garbage. Death of a franchise. Unispired trash.

    What shame that such a great development studio is dragged down by greedy publishers, rushed game that is so far out of touch with its core fans.

    Horrible My mouse sense is wrong
    Maps are awful
    Gunplay is awful the crazy speard is everywhere.
    The hazard zone is already dead.
    I have a high-end PC but somehow I get 50 fps in the middle of gunfights
    Air physics is awful.
    Big is everywhere
    All guns feel the same.
    This is sad but I think it's the end of nf franchises

    No scoreboard, no levolution, no voice chat, no stats, no servers, no classes, no campaign, hit registration non existent etc. This game should NOT release at this state. People already spotted most of the issues in the beta and EA's response was that it was a previous build. Right, sure thing. Frostbite engine is so difficult to work with that im not surprised so much by this **** andNo scoreboard, no levolution, no voice chat, no stats, no servers, no classes, no campaign, hit registration non existent etc. This game should NOT release at this state.

Frostbite engine is so difficult to work with that im not surprised so much by this **** and developers have been saying that for years. I'm tired of companies releasing unfinished games just to make a quick buck and "gaming journalists" who've not played the game that they're reviewing and/or are giving a good review just to be in a company's good grace.… Expand

    Completely broken game. Feels about a year from being complete. Got a full refund after about an hour of playing. Avoid.

    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.
