    Major disappointment! It doesn't feel like Battlefield at all. The portal mode is pointless, has been since launch. Once they let you earn xp again it might be the only redeeming feature of this game. Seems like every time I play, I get put in a game, run for 5 minutes then the game ends, so yeah, not enjoyable. Buss galore, do not see how this was a finished game.

    This is not a True Dice Battlefield. This game has been made by baby Boys. Stop watching Call Of Duty,Apex,Fortnite,etc and trust yourself & dont Forget What you have accomplished like BF3,4,5,etc. Like humankind lose knowledge to build Pyramids,Dice lose knowledge to create a true Battlefield experience. It s a sad day for all the community. RIP Battlefield

    It's just not very good... Just remake BF4 with nicer GFX, add a couple of the 2042 maps, without touching the gameplay and that's a winner. This is COD mixed with BF V, it's a carcrash, sadly!

    At this point, we have already lowered the bar enough that bugs are expected on a Battlefield launch. What is inexcusable, however, is the awful "Operator" system, the empty map design, the awful buggy gunplay, and the lack of destruction.

    I have cancelled my pre-order. I doubt this one will be good even after waiting a few months. The problems go right to the core game design.

    You have to fire all the game designers and recruit BF3 / BF4 fans, there your BF2042 is a rag.

    EA lives in some kind of parallel reality. Who is the game for?! For players or for effective managers ?! The spirit of Battlefield is distorted and turned into some kind of circus with goofy mechanics. The technical component is somewhere below the belt again. It's a complete failure!

    2042 is overwhelming. It throws so much information at you that it becomes incredibly challenging to make critical gameplay decisions (or any decisions) based on the information you have. It's like a visual and auditory sensory overload that tries it's best to let you know what the other 127 people on the server are up to at that moment in time. From the cluttered UI and HUD, to the2042 is overwhelming.

It's like a visual and auditory sensory overload that tries it's best to let you know what the other 127 people on the server are up to at that moment in time. From the cluttered UI and HUD, to the muffled audio and identity crisis, 2042 is confusing at best and downright overwhelming and frustrating at worst.

    The audio is overwhelming. There is something fundamentally broken and flat with the audio mix. There is no balance between critical gameplay information and immersion. It all blends together with no dynamics as if all sounds are played at the same volume. I cannot discern the sounds of my 30 teammates stomping around from the sound of a squad of enemies approaching. It's like trying to listen out for footsteps while wearing ear defenders, everything sounds muffled and dull. Trying to isolate the gameplay information from the white noise is an exercise in insanity.

    The HUD is overwhelming. With everything being this futuristic shade of neon teal, combined with tiny font, I feel as though I need to squint my eyes and scan read to figure out what information is being relayed to me. Why do I need to see an icon for every gadget I have equipped all the time? Wouldn't it be better suited to have a context overlay appear as I swap gadgets/weapons and use the space available to only show critical information like ammo, health and armour. Objective markers are so obtuse that I can't actually see the players hidden behind them. A1, A2, B1, B2 flood my screen and make no effort to reduce in transparency even if you are looking through gun optics.

    The maps are over overwhelming. The majority of the maps seem to have been designed without cover. I guess cover is not a thing in the future... I cannot possibly identify or count the angles I am open to being shot from and so I feel paralysed when trying to strategically push an objective. You are either completely swarmed by a death ball of enemies trying to find the action in an otherwise barren landscape or you are wishing you could call in a quad bike as you run a half marathon from your spawn point. There's no feeling of accomplishment as your team successfully pushes or defends a critical flag. It's just a red zerg and blue zerg moving around the map like a tornado made out of players.

    The minimap is overwhelming. There is so much information being crammed into such a tiny minimap that I don't know where to begin. With more players and more vehicles than ever before, the icons blend and merge into themselves. Every game prior has had the option to scale the minimap up and out of all the games that need this feature the most... this option is mysteriously absent. Pressing 'M' to bring up the overview map, can you quickly identify where you are and the direction you are facing using this feature? Or do you have to sift and scan through to find your tiny player triangle amongst a sea of other triangles and icons.

    The gunplay is overwhelming. Jesus christ I think this one makes me question my sanity the most. It feels like since the beta, everything has been given enough recoil and spread that hitting the broad side of a barn outside of 20m is just a pipe dream. Every fight is left up to unstable net code and random bullet deviation and I'm lucky if I can kill one person with a full magazine. As much as I don't like the implementation of spread, if it has to be in the game, look at how well it was done in BF1, you can still be incredibly accurate tap firing targets at longer distances. Across the BF titles, I am a 2.0 + k/d player. On this title, I am struggling just to go positive.

    The level of level of polish and fidelity makes this feel like it's a pre-alpha build with another year to go before release. Everything feels like it's placeholder, but they ran out of time and had to ship whatever was there. I cannot believe the game has launched in the state that it is in currently.

It is a major step back in destruction, ballistics, progression, customization, and gameplay mechanics. It had legs, but for some reason they cut them off at the knees. Large maps, high player count, and vehicle call ins are welcome additions. But those features do not carry a game that is fundamentally flawed. The lack of a server browser and hardcore mode are just the start. Add in the lack of weapon options (probably to sell you more later), redundant attachments that masquerade as progression unlocks, atrocious random bullet deviation, and discontinuation of the class system (the heart of the battlefield franchise). Portal mode is neat, but suffers many of the foundational mechanical issues as the base game. Additionally portal does not contain a complete catalog of assets from the games it represents, and the destruction is downgraded from the original to the reduced destruction of 2042.

    Hazard zone was supposed to be a shining light in this game. Its not. The gameplay is anemic, repetitive, and matches end quickly. The stakes are low, as well as the excitement. It honestly feels like the game was originally just going to be Hazard Zone and Portal, but at the last minute tried to make something analogous to a battlefield game. I do not recommend buying this game. It feels like it needs another couple years of development and a major overhaul.

    This review just covered the gameplay deficiencies. Keep in mind the bugs and server issues make it almost unplayable in the current state. It is reminiscent of fallout 72. The game in its current form, in my opinion, is an unethical sale in the sense it is a grossly unfinished game being sold under the misrepresentation it is a finished product. I refunded my purchase.

    I will just describe a typical breakthrough BF2042 game :

    You spawn on the map. You start moving towards the ennemy point. First you have to understand how the new deplacement mechanic works. It is called "the rollback movement". Your soldier will frequently be teleported due to servers. Not a great add imo. Then, after 3 minutes of walk in the infinite landscape, you will get ran
    I will just describe a typical breakthrough BF2042 game :

    You spawn on the map.
    You start moving towards the ennemy point.
    First you have to understand how the new deplacement mechanic works. It is called "the rollback movement". Your soldier will frequently be teleported due to servers. Not a great add imo.

    Then, after 3 minutes of walk in the infinite landscape, you will get ran over by a hovercraft.
    You spawn again, you go back to the place you died before and manage to dodge the same overcraft.
    "Hehe not two times buddy".
    You will immediatly get ran over by a second overcraft (the ennemy teams has 5 of them, not including Humvees and others vehicules ofc).

    After getting killed 2 more times by a chopper, and a gunner in a humvee you manage to see your first ennemy.
    You start aiming and realize it is really hard with 49 fps to shoot someone at this range. "Holy **** my gun has horrible recoil, i hope it will get better with attachm...".
    An ennemy sniper kills you before you finished your sentence.
    Go to settings ==> Put all graphics to low ==> 58 FPS.
    Nice.

    "F*** my squadmates are terrible, they are again so far away from the front that i cant spawn on them".
    You try to join an other squad hoping it will have better players.
    You cant select your squad.

    Few minutes of walk later (and an other death by the ennemy chopper) you see an ennemy not too far away.
    With your 55 FPS and the usual rollbacks you manage to control your insane recoil and kills the ennemy using 28 of the 31 bullets of your mag.
    "MY FIRST KILL LETS GOOO"
    Here comes a second ennemy on your map.
    You reload and wait for him. He didnt see you, it is an easy kills.
    You shoot him the same way with you did few seconds ago but HE IS NOT DYING WTF ??
    You have to swap to your handgun to finish him, but due to lags server you have to push your button 3 times so your soldier can actually swap his weapon. During this time the ennemy starts shooting you back.
    TRADE KILL.
    "F*** what happened ??". You realize the game has the worst gunplay mechanic a shooter can have : bloom. You can shoot the exact same way two times in a row it will never have the same result because the bullets are not going where you are aiming at. Nice.

    Few moments later, you die again trying to shoot a guy who is in your sight and you realize that bloom and rollbacks and insane recoil and long ttk are not the only problem in the gunplay.
    You shoot someone.
    You see him bleeding
    You see his character react to your bullets.
    But there is NO hitmarkers.
    You understands the hit registration problem is still there. Just a superior version of what we had in BF4.
    An hovercraft crushes you.

    "Ok time to calm this kids , lets pick Engineer".
    There is no class system anymore.
    "Ok time to pick the rocket launcher for my medic hehe".
    You shoot the hovercraft with your rocket. And die.
    "How much damage did i inflict on him ?". Impossible to know.
    "Hey at least i damaged it right ? right ?". No because all vehicules including chopper and tanks have self repairs. No need to have an Engineer to repair you, you just have to wait.
    "What is happening i cant spawn ?? My character doesnt want to die, cmon ...". You will find that this glitch is among hundreds of others glitches in the game.

    "Ok, il will restart my game".
    The game crashes in the menu.
    **** it".
    I could add, - the 14 points to capture in Conquest mode which will force you to drive 3 minutes to find an ennemy - the UI that hides the ennemy - the absence of scoreboard - the absence of indicators so you cant know if there is a medic nearby when you die - the impossibility to select the spawn of your choice when your teamates are stacked on a point - the AR that are terrible - The insane travel time of every weapon - etc etc Just dont buy this game.

The decline of the gaming industry is just a regularity at this point.Seemingly nothing can break the current trend of a never ending downward spiral of mediocre, broken releases, fake and scripted trailers, aggressive marketing to promote hype and missing content... Where do i even start with this one????
    Game was evident to disappoint even with the scarce footage, media information and abysmal beta test, but somehow it managed to surpass it. Pretty pointless to list what has been said already, but I could possibly add some lines....
    - Game has abysmal physics, pretty much all the vehicles are unusable. Planes dont take damage when you ram them into buildings, some vehicles can scale entire skyscrapers 90 degrees up and even fly in the air??? Tanks and buggies are glitchy and spazzing beyond control on rough terrain...
    - The game introduced one of the most horrendous recoil mechanics i have seen in my 20 years of gaming. The guns seemingly just shoot the bullets in random directions around the targets and a attack on an unsuspecting enemy can take you between 1-3 clips of ammo.
    - The legendary Frostbite net code makes a dazzling comeback - Enemies have the hitboxes/polygons of a building, yet almost no shots get registered as hits most of the times, even if you are next to the target or bombard enemies with thousands of bullets from a jet....
    - There is no destruction, besides a few scripted walls and glass breaking. (not exaggerating)
    - Weapons missing from full game, but available in Portal? Obvious cut content for future season pass.
    - "Part Disabled - 10 XP" - no vehicle damage indicators. Weird damage balance like hovercraft taking 4-5 rockets to get destroyed? WTF?
    - Attachments are purely cosmetic.
    - No scoreboard, no squads, no server browser, no classes
    - Icon clutter on screen, impossible to see anything
    - Bad UI
    - Abysmal optimization

    Poor Performance (terrible optimization)
    Laggy non dedicated servers
    Limited guns and customization
    No main menu, it's very weird. The UI in general is just bad.

    When it comes to the USA vs. Russia, there should be different equipment and not that they all run with the same characters with same customization and skins. All BF game they had different nations with customization. Why is here USA vs Russia and both nations they have no different customization characters? Or different skins per Nations.

От игры в целом воняет колдой. Я бы мог назвать ещё десятки недостатков этого продукта, но самый главный - эмоции. Игра их почти не вызывала, а если и вызывала, то скорее раздражение. В итоге, полное равнодушие. Нет ни малейшего желания запускать игру заново. Возможно года через полтора игру допилят, тогда поиграю и поменяю мнение, но пока что больше единицы поставить не могу.

    I was expecting the best battlefield then released this trash.
    The worst graphics !!!!
    The whole game is recycled!!!
    DAMN YOU STOP WITH THIS METHOD OF RECYCLING.

    Over the top gameplay. Every second something weird can happen. Its not special anymore.

    - Giving everybody cheats. - Bad gunplay. Just count the amount of bullets it takes for a content creator to kill someone. Then imagine your accuracy sucks big time comparing to them. - No scoreboard - No joining squad - No teamplay - No server browser - Not enough destruction - Specialist

    - No scoreboard

    - No teamplay
    - No server browser
    - Not enough destruction
    - Specialist suck. Classes could be deleted to make it even more easier.
    - Feels so clunky, fps, stuttering and so on
    - Portal looks like it has a lot of potential, but how will i find the matches with gameplay i like. Don't wanna jump 5 times to get a new rocket etc.
    - Cant communicate with eachother
    - No team switching. Its my time and if i like attacking. I wanna be able yo do so. And not get stuck in defending in the spare time that i have.
    - Rejoining server the whole time. Long wait times. Not the case in portals old classic gamemodes
    - Maps feel empty, long walks. Die and walk again
    - Customization feels / is buggy
    - Hide against a wall / rock and your char starts shaking. Really annoying. Alt+f4 sounds like a great solution to get rid of it. Better then move and get shot.
    - Both teams look the same, except for the colloured spot above the char
    - Feels like something else as battlefield.

    But maybe I"m getting old. And cant understand it anymore. Its not my type of game at the moment. And maybe they should give it another name then battlefield. Because it feels like i have been lied to. And seeing the other comments there are a lot more people that feel that way.
    Hopefully they can fix a lot of stuff and maybe i can sometimes enjoy this non-battlefield game so now and then. Its not all bad, but its not battlefield as i know it.

    We lose the campaign, okay, but with 3 years of development with 4 studios working on you would think the game would be good, WRONG!!! Battlefield 5 was considered the low point in the series, now Battlefield 2042 has set the bar even lower.

    Negative emotions. I have been playing BATTLEFIELD since Bad Company 2. I am actively playing BF4. I can say that a huge minus to the game is that there is no TV missile for the helicopter, there is no ATGM missile for the helicopter, there is no BMP (LAV, BTR) for the 2042 branch of the game.

    I'll be honest, I was so hyped for this game. This is what led to such disappointment..

    in between the game crashes, server errors, and gameplay bugs and glitches, i managed to get a few rounds in to get a feel for it. I don't know. to me, it doesn't feel like a battlefield should AT ALL. Nothing about it feels right. First off (and this is a major pet peeve) there's no campaign.

    First off (and this is a major pet peeve) there's no campaign.

    You bring IRISH back, a major character in the series, as a "specialist" and that's it? lame.

    BF has CLASSES, not specialists....This isn't COD.

    Where's all the shouting and talking amongst the players characters when they're getting shot or spotting an enemy?

    Where is the voice chat? i wanna talk to my squad!

    Why can't I chat to the enemy team?

    WHY IS THERE NO SCOREBOARD? if you're so worried about feelings being hurt, offer some commendation system at the end of each round.

    Don't even get me started on the customisation menu. like what is even that?

    my weapons don't even unlock 9 times out of 10 I have to physically exit the game and sign back in for them to appear... and even then.. there is so few weapons to choose from. I've kinda just stuck with one kit the whole time because none of the unlocks jump out at me as being worth it.

    There's nothing in your store, shouldn't that have been made ready prior to launch?

    The list goes on and on........

    DICE you should have looked at bf4, gone off everything that game has and just beefed it up and you would have had your self a perfect love child. what ever you think 2042 is.... it is not. All the promises you made and have fallen through with, your director should have run for president.

    In summary: All I can say is, I'm grateful for EA play PRO at this point. I spent $20 and 30+ hours of game time to give it a red hot go, but It saved me wasting $150 on an ultimate edition that would have given me instant buyers remorse and ULTIMATELY refunded :(

    I hope you can rectify all these issues in the future. Because you have a lot of frustrated fans.

    2/10 because it has so much potential, but sadly, as of this date. It is very much wasted.

    Disregarding all the bugs and performance issues. The game fails to deliver the Battlefield experience which we all know and love and instead gives us the feeling of a cheap chinese Free-To-Play knock-off based on Modern Warfare 2019.

    This review has absolutely nothing to do with the plethora of bugs and server issues this game has. Bugs are easily fixed. Gameplay can be balanced. These things can be fixed over time. I don't even mind the bugs its whatever. The lack of content ok but it can be added. Scoreboard easy fix. Although disappointing all of these problems can be fixed. What can't be fixed is the game itself.

    This is what really pisses me off. It feels like corporate tried to push a game like apex or warzone or some other popular game. it has the feel of this other game that slips my mind but I'm sure lots of other feel the same way. The vibe is completely disconnected from previous battlefield titles.

    This game has completely lost all of its grit the one thing in my opinion that made battlefield so awesome. Without this grit its not exciting at all the other games it tries to mimic are just better.

    Audio - I have no idea what is going on with the audio, all of it. The music does not give you a sense of urgency like near the ends of the matches in BF1.

    Specialists - Again nobody asked for or wanted this junk. They all look like snowflakes. Not somebody you'd find in a warzone you can't sell that. The quips that these specialist say made me turn that audio off it kills the vibe. The most cringe I've ever heard. Its like some progressive liberal genz's got hired by EA and were in charge of character design.

    Graphics / textures - This is the last nail in the coffin for me. Absolutely horrendous. Complete lack of detail. The game feels like a shell. In fact I think this is what gives the game a vibe that's not battlefield it looks nothing like the other games intricate level of details. The feel is completely off. Yes maybe previous titles look more dated but they had textures years ahead of this game. Battlefield 1 and 5 look so cinematic and I played those on my PS4 not a $4000 dollar gaming computer on 2k monitors. Inexcusable. Something else that felt off was the sizing of the guns or something. I don't know how to describe it. It looks almost comical the bullets hanging off my LMG are huge. Plus the weapon design is awful they look like planetside guns. Finally, again with the character design the look like cartoon players I don't get it. The uniforms the intricate details realism thrown out the window. This is really what BF was loved for.

    Map Design - Not really a big deal if the graphics/textures were like the OG games. HOWEVER, hourglass needs to be removed lol no more words needed.

    HUD/menus - Awful design but can be reworked.

    Attachments - Reticles look like crap

    Vehicles - The hovercraft needs to be removed easily the stupidest vehicle in the game and they have that stupid tuk-tuk in kaleidoscope which makes me feel like I'm playing fortnite again. The jet design completely I loved flying jets in earlier battlefield games because the cockpit looked awesome. I understand F35's have a screen instead of analog controls but my god the representation of this is awful. The driving/flying mechanics feel off as well.
    Destruction - They neutered destruction BAD move. Destruction was so much fun in other games especially blowing craters in the ground for cover in BF1.

    There's so much more to be said but I'm approaching the wordcount so you get the idea.

    Final remarks EA robbed early access players plain and simple. There should be refunds or a class action lawsuit. This game is an empty shell.

    I'm curious if they added portal after finishing the main game because they knew how trash the game was. Or maybe its corporate trying to push a different game while giving incentive to keep its loyal fanbase interested.

Having all gear available to everyone is just a bad call. Everyone runs around with a rocket launcher and ammo. Because of this, team play is pretty much gone. For the guys that want to run and gun, they just rock ammo plates. They really need to make class load outs for specialists. 128v128 just feels like too much. The chaos of certain zones seems cool in theory, but it’s just a massive FPS loss where everyone is shooting from every corner. I’d really like a 64v64 option. The graphics are awesome? I guess that’s something? There’s very little destruction that we sorta expect out of BF games, but, okay, I’ll give it to them. The game looks good. They have a lot to work on.

    Cons:
    -10 Specialists for a 128 player game is ridiculous and has convinced me that the “No Pats” are just a clone army. Not to mention everyone being drawn to the few “Meta” specialists.
    -No Classes (sure, "classes" are there but are meaningless)
    -No Scoreboard.
    -Very little destruction in comparison to previous titles (a staple of the franchise since Bad Company 2).
    -No Server Browser.
    -The "back story" seems like a rushed justification for kicking classes to the curb.
    -No Spotting except for certain vehicle seats and Casper's drone which ends up lighting up the entire enemy team.
    -Lack of weapons (4 or less in each weapon class).
    -Sound design is awful
    -Map design makes it feel less of a battle and more of a skirmish, despite map size and 128 players (see Battlefield 1 for atmosphere).
    -Weapon recoil and slow time to kill makes it unsatisfying to play.

    Pros:
    -Vehicles feel powerful, albeit too numerous.
    -Can be fun at times with friends.
    -Available on EA Play Pro so I don’t have to pay full price for it.

    - The mouse controls are horrible and don't even work for me at all. - 50 FPS with a RTX 3090 on 4k resolution WITH DLSS turned to ultra. - DLSS does not work. - Very small amount of weapons - Very few customization options. - Portal is okay-ish when it works. - No classes only specialists - No scoreboard - No chat - Very little to no

    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

    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.

    Incredibly buggy, soulless cash grab by EA, again. This game deserves a 0 purely because it has so much potential, but it has been completely spoiled by operators, lack of classes and generally speaking is full of bugs that make it literally unplayable.

No score board, like 4 guns per class, lackluster specialist who remove the sense of true customization, bad servers, unresponsive controls, sometimes can't revive teammates for no reason at all, some of the worst gunplay in modern gaming. Very Disappointing, Why is AAA games so terrible these days.

    If Call of Duty and Battlefield had a baby, this would not their game.

    - The Maps are terrible, in any ways! There open fielded but there is like 2 buildings on it.
    Loved Metro of Battlefield 3? Well, nope! Only open fielded Maps with like nothing, even no cover.
    - Trees can not be destoryed, most of the time.
    - No Weapon Damage against Helicopters
    - Tons of bugs, and yes every battlefield has bugs, but this bugs are insane, sometimes you can not move, sometimes you can not shoot, sometimes you can not change your stance anymore.
    - weapon handling feels like from the 90s, weird spread, weird feeling, just nope.
    - Weapons are so weird, for example there are only 2 LMGs, yes you read right, this 60/70$ game with no singleplayer campain, has only 2 Heavy MGs and you have to unlock them, but the best part is comming, no matter how many times you hit the enemy, you can not kill them as fast as a SMG, Rifle or Sniper Rifle can do.
    +/- movement is a bit clunky, but it is ok.
    +/- graphics are good enough
    +/- in portal mode you can play a very very very very light version of BF3, this is nice to have but with same bugs as main game.

    All my hopes for a good BF are gone, RIP Battlefield Franchise, DICE again destroyed all hopes.
    But whats the problem about a Bad Company 3 or Battlefield 3-like game?!

    No server browser either so you join games half way through or with high ping.
    No point counter, you cant see the damage you are inflicting especially worse on vehicles!
    No scoreboard, can't tell when and with what I'm doing well. Makes me feel useless out there.
    Zero cohesion between squad mates and team. This is a result of zero communication and no class system.
    Weapon bloom, random bullet vectors so you don't always hit your target...
    Huge player count with almost zero understanding on how this effects gameplay of their modes and maps. Too few capture points especially on Breakthrough. Yet to see an attacking team win this mode.
    22 guns in total with attachments that make little difference. Lucky to find 1 gun that suits your play style, unfortunately I didn't.
    Maps look amazing, only reason this isn't a 0 from me.
    Specialists are cringe worthy.

The basecame i play on low and i still cannot shoot someone.For me on a 1080 the base game is unplayable. Upon dying my character just goes prone instead of dying.

Graphics look more cartooney then ever. I’m a 26 year old adult and I’d rather play fortnite than this. Even if I were to say okay but at least it isn’t buggy like previous launches! They figured that out right? WRONG! Save eyes the trouble and don’t look more than 25 feet ahead. Or else you’ll see blank character models running backwards with forward moving legs. Or vehicles and aircrafts scooting along the sky like skipping rocks on the river. I’ll try again after 6 months. But my expectations are low. Another cash grab after COVID crap game. I don’t know where they put all their time and effort into. Was it the color scheme that all EA sports games are doing now? Or was it all spent on making only 2 snipers and LMGs? Nothing angers me more in a war and shooter then lack of weapons. Disrespectful!

It has a quarter of the weapons battlefield 4 had (probably locked more guns behind the season pass), the gunplay is soooo bad. The speed of the players is ridiculous, any shred of realism is long gone. I've already made the mistake and bought this game.

    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.
  3. 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.
