    В этой игре всё ужасно!
    -Плохие технические характеристики.
    -Плохая графика.
    -Плохой геймплей.
    -Плохая разрушаемость.
    - Очень мало оружия.
    - Плохой K / D.
    - Много читеров.
    P.S. Эта игра не имеет ничего общего с Battlefield.

    Great concept, poorly executed! Performance issues, server issues, and bugs are all over the place. Not fun to play before these issues are fixed.

    This is not Battlefield. It's a strange adaptation of BF mixed with Fortnite, Apex, and COD with a thick layer of woke political correctness layered on top. Portal is decent but lacking and there's not enough to save it. There's a recipe for success (take BF4, enhance the graphics, make the levels larger, and add a few quality of life improvements) and DICE disposed of it properly.This is not Battlefield.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I playing Battlefield Franchise from BF2 to BFV... i AM BATTLEFIELD Fan and i will be real.

    Gameplay : 4/10

    Gunplay : the assault rifles have more recoil than smg's and you wait to see more damage.
    They are not.. the smgs is better on all ranges , the bullet speed is to low and in ranges it feels unrealistic, the guns fire on random spots , they have spread on bullets and it looks and feel awfull.
    The weapons need re-edit to be some balance
    SMGS fast bullets ,less damage , short range less recoil
    Rifles big damage , bigger recoil , steady damage on all ranges

    Helis - Jets - land vechicles

    They need buff on all damages and the land vechicles need nerf on life.

    A lot of bags on the gunfight.

    Graphics : 6/10
    The battlefield V have better graphics and perfomance.. this is the true..

    UI MENUS HUD 4/10
    The Ui is an nightmare !
    I can talk about it all day..
    The customization is too complicated , there is NO SCOREBOARD , NO STATS , NO real proggression or milestones to unlock something bigger , No ranking system.

    Servers : 5/10
    A lot of lags.. no high pings but lagging a lot of time

    Bags gliches 3/10
    the game is full of bags. i can talk about 15-30 bags.
    at 50 meters and more the players are look like 2D pICTURES , they are moving and the legs and the whole animation is steady.
    bags everywhere. bags on the servers.. when you play breakaway , sometime it throws you on a server in overtime period and it havent time and you waiting there for ever. you can't even deploy.

    Maps : 3/10
    Way to big , no cover , no nice places to fight , just a open map for tanks and snipers.
    the battlefield V-BF4-BF3 have way better maps.

    Contest - Weapons - customization 3/10

    7 maps only , only 22 weapons (only 3 assault rifles , its like a joke) , limites weapons everywhere (and portal) , limited customization everywhere and the skins is nothing... if you play ww3 you will understand this is nothing.

    Perfomance : 6/10
    it needs a lot of optimazation

    Teamplay - Chat - Voip 3/10

    No teamplay no voip.

    No classes just specialist
    No teamplay just random fights
    No close quarters fight just open world chaotic fighting
    No Scoreboard , No Stats , no balance. no contest Only 2 modes , awfull menus and ui , filters and matchmaking on portal (the servers close after the a day and you can't find the again to play. The weapons take no xp on portal , there is no progression on portal. Hazard zone is a joke... you never take the feeling of ''Victory'' ... you just drop , you take 2-3 kills and you are out. no big winner or stats or competition or something... The game is full of bags. The wrost battlefield game ever. overall is a 3/10 ... This game is unfinished , it feels like a beta or alpha. limited , bags , no content , no stability on servers and game, no motivation to play it for more than a week.    … Expand

Media is calling this "review bombing" like we're to blame for not being paid as they are to like the game. I enjoy BF3, BF4, BF1, BF5 and even Hardline and some BFBC2 along with BF 1942 but this is absolutely terrible in all aspects and feels like a BR game that turned to big FPS in the last minute with a poorly stuck Battlefield sticker on its forehead.… Expand

I will say the hovercraft seemed a bit unbalanced but overall good. The only bad thing is the performance. On a mix of high medium and low settings i was getting are 45 FPS

    1. Отвратительные карты, огромные, пустые, разрушаемость (она вообще есть?), особенно в контрасте со старыми картами, что представлены в Portal
    2. Очень странная по своим механикам техника... чего стоят катера на воздушной подушке (они ползают по стенам???)
    3. Система классов весьма сомнительна и ужасна по своей сути, мало того что в ней нет никакого смысла, так и скины - натуральное фрикшоу (я все понимаю, игроделам нынче стало сложно, уж очень много кому надо угодить, а обидеть так вообще опасно)
    4. Возвращаясь к скинам... очень странно смотрятся одинаковые человечки с обеих сторон, весьма неоднозначное, как по мне решение для такого формата игры
    5. Никого не хочу обидеть, но обилие женских голосов, воплей, стонов, абсолютно доминирующих в звуковом фоне игры немного странно
    6. Откровенно примитивная (убогая) система подбора игр, да и внутриигровой интерфейс тоже, в том числе отсутствие возможности играть в режиме хардкор (только на частных серверах, за которые не начисляется прогресс)
    7. Механики стрельбы из оружия, да и в целом оружие в игре оставляют желать лучшего
    Баги и прочие технические моменты минусами не считаю, все таки игра пока не в релизе
    В целом для игры такого потенциала (и такой ценовой категории) - все очень печально!!!
    Лучше бы сделали полноценные ремастеры Bad Company 2 и 3 части)

    I have been playing the Battlefield series since Bad Company 2 (as for me, this is the best part) and at the moment in 2042 I played 16 hours ... a very ambiguous impression, and frankly, despite a number of obvious positive aspects, the disadvantages of the game are very striking, for example:
    1. Disgusting maps, huge, empty, destructible (is there anyway?), Especially in contrast to the old maps that are presented in Portal
    2. A very strange technique in its mechanics ... what are the hovercraft (do they crawl on the walls ???)
    3. The class system is very dubious and terrible in its essence, not only does it make no sense, but also skins are a natural freakshow (I understand everything, game developers have become difficult nowadays, there are a lot of people who need to please, and it’s generally dangerous to offend)
    4. Returning to skins ... the same little people look very strange on both sides, very ambiguous, as for me the solution for this format of the game
    5. I don't want to offend anyone, but the abundance of female voices, screams, groans, absolutely dominating the sound background of the game is a little strange
    6. A frankly primitive (poor) matchmaking system, and the in-game interface too, including the lack of the ability to play in hardcore mode (only on private servers, for which progress is not credited)
    7. Mechanics of firing weapons, and in general, weapons in the game leave much to be desired
    Bugs and other technical issues are not minuses, all the same the game is not yet in release
    In general, for a game of such potential (and such a price category) - everything is very sad !!!

    In my opinion, people are definitely exaggerating how bad this game is. Sure, it has it's issues, but I really don't think issues like lackluster performance, no chat, and no scoreboard merit all the 0s I've been seeing. I wouldn't be surprised if people are just review bombing at this point, even those who've never even played the game and just want to jump on the bandwagon of hate. FirstIn my opinion, people are definitely exaggerating how bad this game is.

I wouldn't be surprised if people are just review bombing at this point, even those who've never even played the game and just want to jump on the bandwagon of hate. First of all, the specialists aren't all that bad. I know the class system is miles better, but some of the specialist abilities can lead to some pretty awesome moments and plays. Also, a specialist system will likely lead to more content being released over time, which will keep the player base more engaged.
    Second, the environments are actually decently destructible, it's just the maps people have been playing on don't have much to offer in terms of buildings and things like that. I've also seen a lot of people complaining about the lack of chat, but really, not many people talk to randoms in battlefield games, or at least that what I've noticed, and when you want to talk with your friends, just use something else like discord. The sound quality will likely better anyway. However, there are definitely
    some pretty glaring that are pretty impossible to ignore. The first is weapon variety. Only about 23 guns in the main game is pretty pathetic. I know most of the guns are in portal but I would have gladly waited another half year to at least have more than 4 ARs to choose from. Also, the servers suck pretty hard and the lack of scoreboard really annoys me. But overall, I think people are seriously over-hating a game that is actually really fun at it's core.    … Expand

    - No dedicated servers. Thanks to matchmaking you are always playing with random people.
    - No way to join specific squad, all you can do is leaving your squad and joining other _random_ squad mid game. You dont see other squads on map, so you can not tell if they play objective or just soloing.
    - There is no in game voice chat for squad coordination. Funny thing is that if you click the player on the player list there is an option to mute him, but... there is no voice chat.
    - You can not zoom the map so if there is some heavy fighting around some oint good luck selecting the right point (squad mate, point itself, spawn beacon etc)
    - No hardcore mode without 3rd person vehicle view, 3d spotting, kill cams etc.

    They did everything to kill the teamwork making BF2142 into large scale COD/Apex/Fortnite.

    BF2142 is like hymn for mediocracy - stats removed, low weapons variety (two types of launchers only, really?), overly simplified core game cycle.

    I wont tell you much about the operators. They are useless and could be like skins for normal classes.

    So people use metacritic to complain. But if you want an honest review:
    - Its a really fun battlefield game. The all-out warfare is impressive (64 vs 64) but choatic. You will end up dying alot because you really need to have eyes on your back. Breaktrough is fun mode, but being 'the attackers' is just tough love.

    - I played on PC with 5900x + 3090 at 1440p. I got smooth 140 fps on ultra settings.
    - Portal offers many choice. I love to go back to the WW2 era. The old but new maps like El-Alamein is reliving my childhood fantasy.
    - If you read that people are complaining about having only 4 assault rifles... Its just something to flame on. Why would 4 assault rifles be bad? Who says they won't add more later ? Like CoD does. People judge this game too quickly.
    - People complaining about PC performances; people think that their 2060/2070 is state of the art hardware and expect to have no problems running this game. What people forget is that having 128 players in a server, means it will ask more processing power from your system. You cannot compare this with a 12 man tdm server on call of duty. Like in World of Warcraft, I get 400 fps. But once there are 200 people in my screen and casting spells, i guarentee you, my fps will drop to 20 and everything will feel like a powerpoint slideshow. Its not only about hardware and optimalisation. Its a compromis you have to make if you want big all-out warfare. So stop comparing "But i get 200 fps on BF:V and i get only 70 fps on BF2042, this game is bad and badly optimized so i will leave a 1 star review").

    What could improve:
    - Few bugs (mostly on xbox) could be fixed like; UI bug which doesnt allow you to change gear, joining a crashed server (it shows the round has ended but a new map wont load) and when you die, you sometimes get bugged and cant respawn. Dice should give these bugs piority as it influences gameplay alot. Minor bugs like falling through the map after dieing... i consider this normal if you compare that there are 64 vs 64 people shooting at eachother which all kind of tanks and airplanes.
    - Remove bots. Really DICE, I truely stand behind many of your choices, but the bot thing... I understand but no.
    - Weapon handle; aiming is really difficult with for example assault rifle. Even shooting short bursts make it sometimes seem impossible to kill while on the other hand, i feel like dieing instantly when enemy shoots at me.

    What you should ignore:
    - People complaining about no scoreboard; BF2042 tends to motivate people to push objective. It doesn't matter how you contribute to it. If you are the sniper staying behind, the medic that attacks or the heli that brings down hell on your enemy. Scoreboards dont tribute anything to it. Having scoreboards in other BF always led to discussion and complaining about a person when he was really good with airplanes or tanks (you could easily get 40 kills - 0 deaths). I can remember the hate and crying you would get and people call you cheater etc.
    - It tried something new with specialist. I like'd the old class system better as well. It was much more clearer somehow. But after playing more than 20 hours you get the hang of it and you see the point they are trying to make. Yet people complain just because it is a change and they don't like change.

    Bad design:

    Maps are too big resulting in a lot of no-mans-land.
    128 players don’t add much to gameplay.
    Not enough vehicles on the map.
    No scoreboard.
    Atrocious and barely usable UI/UX.


    Bugs:
    A LOT of gameplay breaking bugs:
    Players and enemies visually glitching out.
    Players unable to revive (gets stuck in death state) and having to leave the match and start another.
    Flying hovercrafts.
    Weapon scope zoom stops working.
    Fake reloads.
    Menu’s glitching out.

    This game could potentially be great, but everything listed isn’t even the full list of problems.
    Should it get better with a patch/update I will adjust my review!
    Until then: DO NOT BUY.    … Expand

    absolutely abysmal excuse for a battlefield game. I tried to keep a level of optimism going into the game because i've been playing past ones for year now but dice....wtf? The gunplay feels....off, my camera snaps to the ground or straight up during intense moments in game, i have a 2080ti gpu and textures are **** FIX THE GAME.

    Biggest Problem:
    Many bugs for too much money. Even if the day-one patch fixes a few things, I can't imagine that the performance will be that better. It's unoptimised, unfinished and unpolished in every aspect and I can't get it to run constant 60 fps. Frame drops all over the place and input lag way too high. Thereby my GPU runs just with 40-60% (5700XT) and my CPU Xeon E3-1231 v3 works    Biggest Problem:

    Also:
    - Graphics worse then in BFV
    - Maps way too big and steril, running is not worth in 99% of all situations
    - Worse destruction then in BFV
    - No Scorebord ?!
    - No Squad change, creation etc. in-game; ALSO no Teamchange possible
    - No server list
    - No global chat
    - No voice chat
    - No possibillity to change the minimap size
    - No stats page
    - No persistent community servers in portal (Why create servers anymore?)
    - UI is too intrusive and large and cannot be customized

How can a company scrap a campaign and grand operations 2 major things in the Battlefield franchise and somehow still not have this game finished with bugs everywhere, mass server issues they have scrapped 2 major things to focus on a multiplayer game which is still being charger full price for. They are paying streamers probably a lot of money to play the game and they are saying it is amazing with few flaws all because they are being paid good money hell if they paid me a big amount of money I'd probably give it a 10 just because I'm being paid a lot of money. Shame on the streamers who are saying this game is amazing even though it definitely is not amazing and far from what it could be. Potential anthem on the hands here another game that came out with potential and went down the gutter. How will EA respond easy here's a battle pass give us more money. Honestly I'm shocked at how bad this game is. Please avoid it you are better installing an older Battlefield.… Expand

    It’s a bit laggy and buggy in early access but the gameplay is very fun, the weapons, specialists, vehicles, and gadgets allow for so many play styles and you get that sandbox feel when playing, which is what battlefield is all about.

The gunplay and visceral feedback from the weapons are really great. It feels much more realistic from a gun point of view, (reminds me of “modern warfare 2019”). I think this game is worth $45 or if you’re a big fan of battlefield, your preorder. But I understand why people dislike the changes that it added, but that all can be subject to personal preference.

By doing that we set the bar too low to a point where developers and publishers simply release broken games expecting that we will buy them even though the quality is complete trash. And guess what, we do, we just can't help ourselves.
    Onto a more technical approach toward the game. As many here pointed out: This is not Battlefield as we know. It's an amalgamate of Apex, R6 Siege, Fortinite and Warzone.
    No classes,
    almost so called "levolution" introduced in BF4,
    no dedicated servers,
    no stat page,
    no scoreboards,
    no chat (voice nor typed),
    "specialists",
    they introduced these cringey voice lines while running around and doing stuff and at the end screen with those unnecessary animations of MVP. Like, why? Why did you think that's something Battlefield needed?
    I also do not appreciate that we can change our attachments in the middle of the gunfight. To me, it completely destroys immersion (among other things present in this game) because it feels that our "soldiers" (not soldiers, our characters seems like privately owned fighters from those security companies we see in movies and series) carry them in the pocket. Maybe that's a thing and I don't know.
    Also the wingsuit has "Just Cause" physics. Completely ridiculous. Ruins the immersion.
    Lastly, the lack of weapon is disappointing. Barely reaching 20 guns while BF4 had almost 80 or more. I bet they will add more as they release the surprise mechanic called season pass or battle pass.
    I regret playing more than 2 hours, because I really tried to enjoy but so many things are wrong. This is not a war game, it's just a bunch of people running around playing with expensive toys.

    Battlefield 2042 or in other words "Call of Apex: 2042".
    The lead multiplayer designer is a fan of Apex and MW2019, and it really shows in the game design and gameplay elements.
    Armor? Why is this even in the main multiplayer matches, yeah it makes sense for a squad based escape from battle royal game type but not in core multiplayer. The animation is almost exactly like MW2019 if you    Battlefield 2042 or in other words "Call of Apex: 2042".

    Armor? Why is this even in the main multiplayer matches, yeah it makes sense for a squad based escape from battle royal game type but not in core multiplayer. The animation is almost exactly like MW2019 if you choose to use that as you gadget slot.

    Medical pen, this is literally taken from CoD/Apex, it removes the focus of team play and relaying on team mates. Why carry a medical crate when you can self heal in a middle of a fire fight. This game completely incentives lone wolf behavior. Never in a game before have i felt so alone on the field even with 128 players.

    Classes: This is basically gone from the game besides portal. And portal is basically there so you can farm XP, not sure how DICE didnt see that coming but they didnt. (or they turned a blind eye towards QA like they usually do).

    The way the game makes it self feel like a hero shooter. You pick a specialist, you have one gadget and you run around aimlessly. You can choose a squad, you cant kick people from a squad but you can move to a random squad. Doesnt make sense. Now im so used to running a repair tool and rocket launcher that you cant even do that. Now i choose angel due to his ability to revive people with armor (which armor being very annoying to fight against), and the ability to call in supply drops. This right here, i can just sit in one spot with a sniper rifle get armor and be able to with stand a full mag dump from an enemy while using a stinger to take out air craft. This here is a huge issue. EVERYONE RUNS STINGERS because of the "no class" restrictions on weapons.

    You're constantly getting locked on by everything in the game from ground to air to nades. Frag nades damage tanks and armor (why? I dont know and its stupid). Half the time you dont know when a pilot pops flares and it takes longer to even re-lock onto them.

    Netcode is worse than BF4's launch, at least the hit reg in that game was miles ahead of this one.
    Bullet bloom, you cant hit **** and it comes down to RNG
    Mouse controls are inputted with controller so you have to change controller controls in order to get rid of mouse acceleration.

    UI is horrible, they said that was being addressed, they lied. World icons are at 100% opacity enemies can hide behind that. Mini map scale is small as hell on ultrawide and you cant change the size of it. Crosshair and hitmarker colors do not change and is bugged. You cant tell if a rocket is incoming or you're just being constantly locked. Half the time the kill cam doesnt work

    No scoreboards, no voice chat, no all chat.
    You go through 15 different type of visual's before getting into a actual match to play and thats with even getting off the transport which is bugged.

    Map design is horrible, you can take a jet and ram into an entire crowd of enemies on orbital.
    Hovercraft are tanks that can spiderman up a skyscrapper.
    DICE doesnt listen to QA

    The game is about monetization of skins and specialists. Season 1 is delayed and you're stuck with 22 weapons and cant mix and match from era's. (Season 1 is delayed prob due to the huge backlash of issues so they have to fix that).

    You go through 4 suppressors in order to unlock the muzzle brake.
    Half the time you dont know if a rocket is incoming in the air.
    The game itself is a toxic ceastpool of its own demise

    This needed a longer time despite being worked on by 4 DIFFERENT STUDIOS.
    TTK is a mess due to armor, you can take one full mag dump into someone without killing them and thats if you hit them due to bulletspread/bloom.

    Wait for it to be on sale as i can see the game getting a 50% off in a month or two.    … Expand

    Well, I would like to start the analysis taking into account the immense amount of expectation and hype that this game generated, in the first trailers the hope had been created that BF would return to its classic origin where it was most successful (set in modern warfare), with elements of the new graphics engines and new mechanics, it had everything to go right, well, if only the basics were done, maybe it could have been the best game in the series, but DICE did absolutely everything wrong (or almost everything), for every 1 right, 9 mistakes.

    Starting with the main thing that completely escapes from what Battlefield is: System of classes that were TOTALLY removed from the game, "oh but it's still there only called experts", no, no, there's no class, you don't know who does what, no limitation, anyone can take a specialist, equip an ammo box and AFK on top of some high place with sniper and 12X scope, no medics in game, no support, no AT soldiers in short? Complete chaos, but not in the good sense, before when it was said that BF is a chaotic game, you imagined destruction (as it was in BF3/4/1/V), a lot of shooting and a vehicle falling, exploding, but in this one, it's a COMPLETE JOKE, the chaos here refers to DISASTER, I wonder, how is it POSSIBLE that in 10 years of evolution (BF3 to BF2042) many aspects have regressed so much? It was supposed to continue to evolve, not regress, destruction in the game simply doesn't exist, if before in BFV you took a tank, and went over everything destroying walls, fences and houses, in this game you have more chance to climb the wall of a house with the tank than destroying it has no destruction, and the destruction it has is freakish.
    There are dozens of points I could mention here, scoreboard (there is no scoreboard), animations (which are not that bad, but are extremely buggy), movement (this is among the main points, the movement of the game is simply one of the biggest setbacks of the series that have ever existed), graphics and performance (if the horrible performance was explained by the surreal graphics, that's fine, but at various times the game seems to have PS2 graphics and even so the performance remains horrible, it's not uncommon for cases of people with high-end setup running the game at less than 80FPS), drivability of aerial vehicles (seriously, if you get to play, don't touch a jet/plane, it's horrible and you'll give up right away and probably ask for a refund) , as I was saying at the beginning, there are SEVERAL negative points, but I won't mention all of them or would I end up creating a book here, but BF2042 doesn't have positive points? of course there is, but it doesn't pay to buy a R$300 game just for hurricanes and the Portal game mode.

    BF2042 deserves a 3/10 grade, I still think it's a generous grade, which should vary between 2/10 and 3/10, I don't recommend this game if you've been playing any titles before this one in the series, Battlefield 2042 is NOT Battlefield, it's a FAIL copy of Call of Duty Warzone.    … Expand

    I feel like BF2042 tried to do everything, and in its attempt, it failed at all of it.

    Here is last nights experience (playing on Xbox Series X) just to sum it up:

    -Playing online and getting wrecked by PC players.
    -Find out that turning off crossplay is annoyingly difficult, but figured it out anyway.
    -Find out that if you turn off crossplay, you can't find any matches. So I frustratingly turn it back on.
    -Load into a game, find that I can't spawn.
    -Finally mess around with stuff and then I can spawn, but find out that my loadouts are broken and I can't select a gadget.
    -Spend the whole match without access to a gadget
    -All of my customizations seem to disappear after every match
    -Get frustrated with how buggy main game is so I switch to Portal and play the official BF 1942 type.
    -BF 1942 in Portal is far worse. Buggier than that one dude in Men in Black.
    -My tank's zoom sights are far to the left of where I'm actually firing, and they continually move around.
    -Continually getting one-shot by assault rifles.
    -Weapons randomly won't fire for some reason, or when they do, no bullets actually leave the weapon.
    -Back in the tank, my tank shells keep getting blocked by invisible walls and the smallest of branches between tree's.
    -Quit in frustration.

    That's pretty much how this game goes.

    Let me reiterate, pushing CROSSPLAY on console players is just about the worst thing ever. Even if all of the myriad bugs were fixed, crossplay would still ruin the experience.    … 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.
