Nov 16, 2021They ruined BF franchise with destroying old class system. The game itself is not that bad, there are some things that are good, but the new direction that BF is heading is wrong. We don't need specialists, we don't need hazard zone, for which specialists were added in first place, we don't need 128 players if maps are THAT huge. 2 points for BF portal, but for now this game sucks.
-
Nov 16, 2021Could do with some work obviously but overall a great game. Got the usual battlefield experience and more I think.
-
Nov 16, 2021Battelfield 2042 is a mixed bag. The operatives are interesting, but the oversized maps do not allow you to feel the full power of the battle. The portal is very good, I think thanks to the portal this game will not die. Hazard zones are not fish, not meat.
It is very annoying to have a bad ttk, bugs, extremely mediocre optimization, as well as cheaters of which there are already a lot. -

Nov 16, 2021Ea play I played with incredibly bad I can last 1 hour a lousy game I do not recommend
-
Nov 16, 2021I could write an essay, but I'll keep this short...this isn't battlefield. This is some Call Of Duty Rainbow Apex BS. EA & DICE sold out and betrayed their true fanbase.

Nov 16, 2021Worst launch I have ever experienced in 25 years of gaming. Missing 30+ staple features from the franchise and FPS genre itself. Bugs, glitches, server problems, poor performance, terrible optimisation. Everything you have read on the Reddit sub is correct and if anything is quite polite compared to the hot steaming pile of **** that is known as Bf2042.
-
Nov 16, 2021terrible, shouldn't have been released.
- Hazard zone was boring DURING the first match
- Glitchy as hell
- Sound is awful
Avoid at all cost and get your money back they should know better than to release this hot mess -

Nov 16, 2021The game is just not finished, with a huge pile of bugs, balance problems and even characters design and appearance in the game. It also seems to be CoD based game. What did you smoke, dice?
-
Nov 16, 2021IF you DICES dont want vehicles and jets work well why not delete them directly?
I thought the real game designer who understand Battlefield well had already left DICE, the only left are all the fans of COD and APEX -
Nov 16, 2021Feel like OG battlefield for me and after 30h of gaming only rare Bugs like the Revive Bug
-
Nov 16, 2021Wtf, Dice, Wtf ???
This is NOT Battlefield anymore.
Total Degradation.
Max price 10$, and that's the price for the Console. -
Nov 16, 2021
-
Nov 16, 2021Bugfield, Glichfield, Freakfield, Freezyfield, Overpoweredjetsfield...etc, but not Battlefield 2042. Btw, that game could be named like Battlefield 2018 or 2021 - it's doesn't matter.

Nov 15, 2021Loved it a lot ..... It's something new get a little buggy at times but loved it
-
Nov 15, 2021Chaotic battlefield, with boring guns. Thank 10 hour trial i cancelled order.
-
Nov 15, 2021sb游戏,去你吗的!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nov 15, 2021Trash game.
IT shouldn't be realesed.
Optimalization suck.
Totalny worth 5$. -

Nov 15, 2021Unfinished game. Im aiming and try to shoot but ammos not going where im pointing at. They kill all the good mechanics from bfv. Even sniper can use a AA rocket. Think about 64 player against to you and they all have missle and you are a cobra heli. Nice work.
-
Nov 15, 2021Technical mess design by ignorant people who are so detached from BF community they forgot what this game is about. Absolute disgrace but sadly expected from today's AAA company.
-
Nov 15, 2021The worst Battlefield yet. I thought 5 was a let down, but this is beyond disappointing. Good luck getting any kills with the shot registration being the worst of any game I’ve ever played. Garbage lobby disbandment. Classes are trash. Customization is trash. Weapon choice is minimal. The specialists feel like I’m playing Apex. Just awful. I’d rather go outside and swing by my neck.

Nov 15, 2021Bug, bug and bug. Some details of the maps looks like a trash. The operator system is useless. Giant maps where the infantry is suffering. This is not a BF game....thats a joke!

Nov 15, 2021Very buggy game. private servers are a mess in setting up and joining. Lack of content and the game feels incomplete, definitely not worth full price and also not worth buying when it is so buggy like this.
-
Nov 15, 2021Really people? Yes it has bugs and need some work but still I am really enjoying it and its good game. I bet most people here rating is from battlefield reddit where people cry about everything, most toxic place I have ever been.
-
Nov 15, 2021Standard from EA/Dice, last good Battlefield was 1
I expected this trash. -
Nov 15, 2021Game crashes, server join errors, class interface glitches out can’t swap character or weapons.
Hazard zone is terrible.
Conquest feels like there is 0 team work and communications.
The guns spray patterns are all over the place.
They can fix this but it’s going to take a monumental effort.
There’s a diamond hidden inside this hunk of **** -
Nov 15, 2021What 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.
-
Nov 15, 2021
-
Nov 15, 2021Releasing unfinished games needs to stop. Also if you are expecting on par game with other battlefield games this isn't it. Its a lazy attempt to become like cod/apex.
-
Nov 15, 2021Игра идеальна для фанатов! Есть небольшие бага ну куда сейчас без них все исправят.
-
Nov 15, 2021Game is a disaster, wish it wasn't. Game needs another year at least. I hope the they realize this and publicly acknowledge it
-
Nov 15, 2021The game isn't immersive at all. The objectives and dots above players pull me right out of the game. I am shooting at just under dots instead of looking for character models to shoot at. Why. Cover up good graphics with HUD dots. What a waste. Also there aren't team fractions everyone is the same characters on both side of the game. This game has turned so weird.
-
Nov 15, 2021Honestly 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.

Nov 15, 2021Long time battlefield fan, this Isn't battlefield at all. I kept hyping it up like crazy all year only to see this disappointment. It's trying to be many things it can't be.
Refunded. Sadly. -
Nov 15, 2021Another day another broken buggy game from a billion dollar corperation...Maybe if they spent more time coding and bug testing than virtue signalling on Twitter and arguing politics they might are at least a functioning product.
-
Nov 15, 2021Nothing is available on the day of release, it was lagging very much and there were a lot of bugs, in vain I believed EA because I knew that there would be a similar situation as with BF5, I was very disappointed, another proof that modern games are nothing more than a business
-
Nov 15, 2021Not the battlefield we want We waited 3 years for this thing Call it apex call it cod But it's not battlefield
-
Nov 15, 2021Game at it's core is just not Battlefield, even if the massive amounts of technical issues at launch that are now the norm with DICE were to be fixed the game itself is just a shell of what Battlefield used to be. You can tell the people who created the franchise don't work on these games anymore

Nov 15, 2021Game has potential, lets give dev some time and be assured it will be fixed shortly.

-
Nov 15, 2021Don't buy this product. Its unfinished should have been delayed. It's missing so many features that make a battlefield game also it's so poorly optimized for PC it's sometimes unplayable
-
Nov 15, 2021Visually it’s great, but the game elements feel thrown together which results in a spotty experience. In addition, so many basic mechanics and game modes were not included. Portal is a fun excursion, but takes time away from leveling up my 2042 guns.

-
Nov 15, 2021Absolute trash game. Clunky, buggy and bare bones. What a joke. Its like I am playing an alpha game not even beta. SO many things missing. Runs like crap on a high end pc
-
Nov 15, 2021If you don´t have a high end PC don´t waste your time with this one, is the worst BF optimization ever. I give it a 3 because portal is a good idea.
-
Nov 15, 2021Incomplete game, abusive charges, total lack of respect for players and especially fans of the franchise...
-
Nov 15, 2021
-
Nov 15, 2021Battlefield has devolved into chasing after trends that don’t fit into its core gameplay. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
-
Nov 15, 2021Mad people in reviews, the game is not bad. People who reviewing it at 0 are just too dramatic. I rate it a 8 but I put a 10 to try to take out some rigged reviews
-
Nov 15, 2021EA hasn't learned anything. After the conflicted BFV which went woke and has crap TTK issues as well as hackers galore.
Now they take everything that is Battlefield away. Gone are they good old days. Now its a wannabe Apex Zipline simulator. Hard pass. -
Nov 15, 2021Not very well optimized, changes things for the worse, poor map design compared to previous entries in an attempt to make "le epic looking map scenario" completely undermining the idea that battlefield is user generated epic and chaotic moments.
-
Nov 15, 2021Wow, what to say. A hugely missed opportunity to finally overtake CoD. And EA-DICE just completely dropped the ball. This is just sad. Save your money
-
Nov 15, 2021This is a poor excuse of a Battlefield game. Sloppily put together, poorly optimized for pc, and full of game breaking bugs. Unfinished and unpolished. Just avoid this game at all cost. I'm so glad I could play this for free, because if I had to pay for this game I'd be livid.
-

Nov 15, 2021This game is so much FUN, and is a great new take on the battlefield experience. From what I can tell, the people who have given the game a chance love it. People wont like changes in a franchise, but once people get used to it the game will be beloved in the community, especially after some much needed bug fixed. Overall a really fun game that just needs a bit more content and bug fixes!
-
Nov 15, 2021COD but with more players and crappier graphics. It’s a rushed game that feels nothing like battlefield. The game is completely broken and lacks fluidity.
-
Nov 15, 2021i dont get why peolpe dont like this game, sure there are some flaws but it is a genuenly fun game, if you not sure about it, get the EA pass it like 6NZD and try it out for yourself
also there is destruction -
Nov 15, 2021I've never been so disappointed. How every iteration you forget what you learnt and make a terrible game on release.
-
Nov 15, 2021Such a bummer that this unfinished unbalanced game cost me $70. Might delete it and return in a year after they finally fix it to the point where I don’t want to throw my controller through the television
-
Nov 15, 2021

Nov 15, 2021Big disappointment after purchase the game after 12+ hours !!! WTF with is classes systerm? no body here is playing like a team, people just run and gunning like a freak!!! Every kill feels unfair,I dont know if its cheater or its unbalance" Specialists"! BTW Net code issues are horrible! dont play this game unless you want some BAD TIME!!! THIS GAME ONLY WORTH 20$!!!
-
Nov 15, 2021
-
Nov 15, 2021The payed reviews from EA in metacritics list says "Battlfield 2042 is the most completed battlefield" ahahahah we dont even have leaderboards, 4 rifles, 3 handguns, CSGO have more.
-
Nov 15, 2021Very disappointed , Sadly I thought it will be better than the beta , u feel like the game is incomplete with some glitches , don't deserve 60 bucks at all , I am battlefield fanboy but this is my opinion
-
Nov 15, 2021O jogo tem tudo pra ser legal, mas esse lançamento, pior que o beta tá péssimo. Você agacha e não consegue levantar, morre e não consegue reposicionar. A mira pode estar em cima do inimigo que o tiro não conta o dano, mapas repetindo várias vezes sem fazer a rotação adequada, bugs insanos.
-
Nov 15, 2021Game is bad. Dont waste your money. Maybe in a year come back and see how it's been updated but games so awful. Couldnt imagine how hot to the touch the crack pipe over at EA is to release this. Reg wore than bf4. MW2042 is trash.
-
Nov 15, 2021
-
Nov 15, 2021This is not battlefield, this is call of duty. Gone are things like destruction, scoreboards, teamplay, a real chat function and classes. Swapped out for stupid operators with dumb voice acting, lone wolfs able to camp in places constantly now everyone can have anything. The lack of content for an expensive game this this is a complete insult. Stick with battlefield 4
-
Nov 15, 2021
-
Nov 15, 2021once again Ea Games and Dice lied, many bugs and many technical problems, take away the total lack of balance in the game and equipment totally weak or too strong
-
Nov 15, 2021it's not bad FPS... But this is not an good battlefield.
-no class
-no destruction (i prefer destruction in gun fight at tornad, tempest...)
-no teamplay
-skin skin skin and skin... where is army vs army?
-bug bug bug bug bug, game is not finished.
Again: next patch, this game can be good fps... But NEVER this **** can be a good battlefield. -
Nov 15, 2021
-
Nov 15, 2021Awesome, hazard zone is fun. 128 players make conquest unpredictable and engaging.
-
Nov 15, 2021Constant connection issues, squad system broken, users with invincibility hacks already abusing the game. Flying hover craft raming helicopters....
-
Nov 15, 2021This game is pure chaos it’s unfinished hot mess that they destroyed everything we love about the series shame on you
-
Nov 15, 2021Good shooter but needs to get rid of Apex specialist. Add scoreboard back, make minimap/main map zoomable. Maps have too much empty space. Absolutely no destruction except a few trees. Hazard zone is a joke and should've been a free standalone.
Awards & Rankings

Feb 15, 2022All 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.
-
Dec 23, 2021The 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.
-
Dec 16, 2021Despite 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.
