    This is a a distaster This game is not set in 2042
    It gets between 20-42 fps
    It has a total of 2042 bugs This is a disgrace to battlefield franchise
    Please dont buy this unless you are insane or an extremely blind battlefield fan with a 3090

    Плохая графика и физика. Нет вибрации по ПС5. Бф1 Бф5 лучше и интереснее, а тут играешь с ботами. За бесплатно даже не хочу играть

    Honestly, as a lifelong fan of the series, I knew it was going to be bad. You can just look at the specialist to figure that out. They want to make the Warzone money from selling skins, but here's the difference Warzone is a free game that makes money with microtransactions, BF2042 retails at $69.99. F**K EA!

    I did not care about the bugs in the beginning, as a veteran I know by experience every BF game need a few weeks to be fixed, but this release has many game reking bugs and should have been delay a few months.. Its an unfinished product. It is Just and empty shell of a Battlefield game, and Portal mode does not completely save it...because of the lack of core functionality I just listed..and much more

    The gaming industry needs regulation. There needs to be penalty for software developers who release stuff like this. This is not Battlefield. I don't know how this got past the first pass on design. How someone said hey lets not offer a different product anymore, let's mimic call of duty despite the fact people buy Battlefield to play....Battlefield.

    This game is a betrayal to gamers. This game removes the backbone of what makes Battlefield at an attempt to make a cash cow and please investors with the idea of a next-gen bigger and better game. The main game will improve slightly over time but the core of the game is just not Battlefield. Shame on you DICE and EA I feel bad for the devs who wanted to make this Battlefield bigger and better.

    No voice chat on launch. Vehicle warfare is the worst of any video game series. They should look to emulate squads vehicular realisitc experience. Maps are too big, dull and boring. The game just doesn't have any realism? It just feels fake. I hope it grows on me but i doubt i will even let it have the chance.

    Oh yeah, bugs. Countless bugs. Another game not ready for release being released..

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?

    BF3 remains the last good BF release. Since its part of the Portal mode, its also the best part of this game, together with Bad Company 2, but the bad hit detection and overall technical state even destroy this experience.

    Honestly this is such a shame. It is a terrible addition to the Battlefield franchise and I had such high hopes for the game. Sadly EA is clearly just out for money and has shoved specialists into the game in a clear attempt to raise revenue from skins instead of the classic class based gameplay that Battlefield is so well known for.

    - Portal mode is worst than the original games.
    - Conquest is empty due to the huge maps.
    - Downgraded destruction over it's predecessors.
    - Frame rate dips below 50fps on an RTX 3080 and an i9 10850k even on low settings.
    - The physics are non-existent.
    - Everyone looks the same in conquest since they decided to put operators in a battlefield game.
    - The graphics look worse than Battlefield 3 in most places.
    - Hit registry is garbage.
    - Hovercrafts are sh$t.
    - SMGs can shoot from longer range than sniper rifles.
    - Classes are meaningless.
    - I've had over 20 glitches in my first match, some of them are game breaking, you can't revive your teammates when they're even close to a wall or an object.
    - The two towers in breakthrough are a joke. People are camping near elevators and calling hovercrafts to barricade the entire tower.
    - The scopes design is the worst I've seen in any game.
    - No day 1 patch to fix any of the issues above...........................................

    This game is an insult to video games and to the Battlefield franchise. How can quality control allow this abomination to be released is beyond me. Don't buy it, doesn't deserve a 1/10.    … Expand

    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.

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.

    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 downloaded it genuinely hoping it'd be great despite the terrible beta and baffling design decisions, but I just couldn't bring myself to like it.… Expand

    I've played almost all of Battlefield, but this one doesn't feel anything like a BF. In Early Access it has the status of an alpha, missing several months of development.

    Other people have already written everything. I'll put my opinion quite simply: it's the worst BF in the series. Even this is not Battlefield already. Only the name remains. It is rather a mix of elements from CoD and other different games - this is not a Battlefield game anymore.

Obvious cons: a huge number of various bugs, terrible optimization, terrible map design and boring, extremely annoying gameplay. Another franchise is dead for me. I can write a lot more, but I'm not going to repeat the same things after other players.
    As a result: I do not recommend anyone to buy this **** It is worth waiting at least half a year. MAYBE it will get better (but I don't hope, especially after the failure of BFV). In this case, you can buy this game, but exclusively on sale. This game is not worth the recommended full price that Dice wants us to pay for it. Personally I'm gonna refund. And I’m unlikely to buy it again.    … 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.

    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.
