    A scrapped class system and hero style 'Specialist' spitting egotistic cringe lines of dialog at the end of every match as they pose for you. This is what Battlefield has devolved to. What happened to you DICE? Your studio used to be amazing!

    One specialist that has a gadget to change loadouts

    This has nothing to do with Battlefield.

    No scoreboards.
    No classes.
    No destruction.
    No servers.
    No stats.
    No chat.
    The weapons omg. There are literally only 4 ARs. Wtf is this?
    It tries to be a mix of Warzone, Fortnite, R6 Siege, Apex and so on.

    The cringe after game lines.

    This is an unfinished, unpolished and broken game.
    Do not buy this until everything is fixed!

    After the letdown from battlefield V and shutting down their live service (instead of fixing the game) they were so proud to announce 4 studios working on battlefield 2042.

    With a bittersweet taste in my mouth I left the game in hope to one day return to the beloved franchise I've recently discovered. Waited 3 years and Much to my surprise the very last chance they had to keep their fans went down the drain...

    Playing the beta, I did not feel that "battlefield" feeling with teamplay and the atmosphere that I felt with Battlefield 1 had. Even if I tried to like Battlefield V it also lacked the atmosphere, even if teamplay at least were there. I thought, maybe it's just in my head.
    Head back to Bf 1 and I felt the Battlefield feeling from the first game when I started the game.
    But then I thought I would give the full game chance.

    If I'm not even talking about the performance with max 60 fps with a Rtx 3080 and all the bugs, this is not battlefield.

    - No one has a certain role, that I think battlefield must have
    - Too large maps, too open or both, and what's up with all the containers?? Is containers the best copy paste this game could offer for every map?
    - No Scoreboard
    - Too many loading screens
    - Bullets don't hit after 30 meters
    - UI is **** needs a total remake from the ground up
    - TTK is waaaay to low and can't hit enemy's because of this and infinite tactical sprint.
    - No nearby medics, people bleed out and waste tickets.
    - No teamplay, every man for himself
    - Doesn't look better than previous titles graphical wise

    I am so tired of game companies rushing out completely unfinished products and then spending the following year fixing things.

    Where to start... I don't even know. I've been a fan of this franchise for 20 years, and this ain't it:

    The UI is horrible. No Campaign. Lack of game modes. No hardcore. No military ranks associated with numerical ranks. Audio is poorly mixed. The maps, while stunning from both a scale and visuals perspective, lack any real flow for infantry combat. Non-removable profanity filter. Lack of promised destruction/levelution. Faction locked weapons and gadgets in Portal. No rule editor support for objective based game modes. No server browser outside of Portal. No private/rented servers. Doesn't just roll into the next map after a game in AoW, back to matchmaking peasant. Cannot join friends already in a match (pretty sure I could do this in beta??). Cutscenes all over the place. Cringe 'look at me' after a match. Cannot customize loadouts before joining a game. Cannot select loadout or operator before joining a server which, in certain situations, spawn you directly into the game with whatever you had last game. This happens when joining a fresh breakthrough game, mostly. No mouse and keyboard support for console. Options and description for kill sounds changed from beta. During beta it showed you would be able to choose between BF2042 and BF1 kill sounds. This same option now only lets you choose between BF2042 sounds or no sounds.

    No VoIP. No real scoreboard. No stats page. No commander. Cannot join, create, or lock a squad. Cannot switch teams. Repairing vehicles does not give XP. No squad points for issuing orders or following them. No marksman headshot bonus for long range snipes. 'Assist Counts as Kill' has been removed. No vehicle kill assists.

    Zoom issues with sniper scopes. No zeroing sniper scopes, starting scope (not sure about the others) has no hash marks on reticle for references. Biggest maps we've ever seen, highest scope magnification is 10x. No holding shift/stick click to steady a sniper shot. No leaning. 22 guns total lol. No ‘All’ chat. Enemies look the same as friendlies. Bullet spread / weapon inaccuracy outside of rock throwing range. Have to opt out of revive every death, no idea who can actually revive me anyway. Have to re-select spawn location every spawn. No resizable minimap. Cannot move while prone and ADS. Damage dealt numbers, e.g. "VEHICLE HIT 28" after hitting a tank with a rocket, have been removed. This applies to both infantry and vehicles. Weapons can't have different sets of attachments in different loadout presets. Meaning if you want to have a suppressor on the one semi-auto pistol in the game for one preset, you can't have it without a suppressor in your other presets. No fixed heavy weapons. AA rocket damage appears inconsistent. BF5 movement mechanics removed. Obnoxious voice overs, operators are incredibly vocal, every time you do an action they say a line. Melee takedown animations have been gutted. All enemies are brought to a standing position before one specific kill is performed. Cannot dive underwater. UI elements do not have transparency element and distant 2D/3D map markers and UI elements do not fade out by distance and cannot be scaled up or down. Good luck finding your marker on the map.

    No separate Heli & Jet controls. Horizontal pitch (or yaw) when set to mouse movement is inverted by design and cannot be inverted again like vertical pitch can. So your aircraft goes the other way than your mouse does. No HOTAS support. Vehicle crosshairs are pixelated as hell. Vehicle entry and exit animations have been removed. Option for 'Vehicle Aim Relative Control' missing. Unnecessary changes to the aircraft flight characteristics from BF4 models. No maps with water and thusly no boats.. despite there being a big ass boat on the loading screen. Cannot tell if there is room to enter a friendly vehicle without trying to get in it. To elaborate, you used to be able to see (from both a reasonable distance and, if memory serves, from the spawn in screen) that 'That APC over there' had [2/4] under the driver's name... so you instantly knew that the main gunner seat was most likely occupied and there was no reason to get in unless you wanted to hitch a ride. When in tank, you don't have the little tank outline which tells you where the driver and gunner are looking at. On the spawn screen tanks/helis use the same icon, you simply cannot tell if that's a transport or attack heli that you are spawning into.

    I don't even have room in this review to start talking about the bugs. I'm so tired of this. Do better DICE.

    This game missed the mark on nearly everything. DMR's have terrible accuracy and every gunfight is RNG since there is so much bloom on weapons. Vehicles are ridiculously overpowered in this game. Lag is very bad, performance is very bad, not a lot of weapons. Nothing to strive for really besides skins which no one cares about. Overall, the game feels uninspired.

    Terrible hit detection, game breaking bugs, bad maps, awful UI, cringe-inducing operator quips, no campaign, no real progression/rewards, etc etc. It feels seriously hollow with barely anything to do, hence why there's going to be a season pass with awful and probably extremely overpriced microtransactions (thanks Fortnite).

It's also pretty clear that they wanted this to be a battle royale entry too. Random operators, skins, obviously season pass, armor plates (these are criminally overpowered), absurdly large maps (Hourglass is run through the desert simulator), odd animations when you're downed, no scoreboard, no server browser, no map choosing, throwing you out of the lobby after every game, etc.

    Weapons also have bloom which is the strangest thing I think they could have chosen for an FPS. For a game like Fortnite or any third person entry, that is somewhat understandable, but an FPS like Battlefield should not have RNG gunfights.

    If you are considering buying this game, do not. It is soulless and hollow and I would imagine is going to be dead in about a month. The season pass is being added in 2022 and by then I don't think they'll be able to get the original player numbers back.

    If I could get a refund I would. Hats off to you DICE and EA, this game is barely even in a beta state.

Instead I got a 10h trial with the Xbox Game Pass to check it out and boy am I glad I did. I am pretty sure they were developing some battle royale monstrosity and changed their mind mid development, leaving 2042 with a confused design that feels crudely mashed together. There is a lack of harmony between practically every element of the game. Before you even get into a match you are left frustrated by the atrocious menus which feel like they were designed for mobile or consoles.

    The settings menus are disorganized and hard to read.
    The multiplayer menus are devoid of functionality.
    There is no server browser, only matchmaking. The ONLY option you get is the gamemode, and those are distinctly lacking compared to previous games.
    You can't choose what region to play in or an acceptable ping.
    You can't choose what map you want to play on—you get thrown into a random map and can end up playing the same map several times before you get what you want.
    There are only two main gamemodes.
    When the round ends you get booted to the main menu, but not before the game forces you to wait through multiple post-match filler screens and cheesy Overwatch "hero" style one liners.
    There is no classic scoreboard so you can't see ping, K/D, classes, number of players, etc.
    You can't change teams.
    You can't join, create, lock or kick from squads.
    You can't chat to the other team and the chat box is so tiny your messages get hidden.
    The specialist/class system is nonsensical and has no rock/paper/scissor style tradeoffs with their weapons/equipment.
    There are very few guns and hardly any equipment to choose from.
    Specialists have absurdly broken special abilities like the wingsuit that can cover huge distances or the gizmo for hacking aircraft.
    Despite the maps being gigantic the guns have absurd random spread that makes medium to long distance engagements a diceroll.
    There is no xp incentive given for teamwork as in previous games.
    Range of movement is a downgrade from BFV with multiple features like crouch-running missing.
    Despite the lacklustre graphics the performance is ABYSMAL, even on new high end hardware on low settings.
    Rough releases are common for BF games but this is something else—I don't believe it is salvageable with the effort Dice are likely to invest in it. It COULD be fixed, but it is not likely to be.
    Avoid like the plague.

    I've played just about every battlefield for some time now. I really want to like this game but I just don't think I can.

    Leaving bugs aside as I feel those are unavoidable with software this advanced. Guns don't do enough damage and/or time to kill (TTK) is just inconsistent. The sound effects, foot steps, and overall environment SFX is just lackluster and missing something.

    Limited immersion maps are too big even for 128, not enough game modes out of the box (yes I know portal..)
    No squad voice chat.
    The specialist just don't work, it's like large scale Apex legends without the stakes or impact. They load out system further pushes players to build for themselves and not team comp that changes as the match goes on.
    The gun play doesn't feel good at all and is completely inconsistent as well as there being an extremely limiting amount. I'm willing to bet that's so they can excite people with new weapon delivery releases similar to BFV etc..
    There's no scoreboard so there's no incentive to have top score or perform. I get toxicity avoidance but score board helps motivate squads to get those extra points as a squad to be the top not just kill farmers!

    Portal is just a watered down version of the previous games with a crap engine. I'd rather just go play them? I hope this helps I think it has alot of potential but right now underwhelming.

    What the heck happened to bullet drop in battlefield games since BF4?!?

    BF is notorious for needing work but I'm concerned even the extra work can not fix the poor design direction they took with this game.

    Fingers crossed to this hopefully making a rebound like BF4 did.

    This is the worst battlefield release in existence. The game is not finished at all. It feels like 90% of the features which have been included in every battlefield game in the past are completely gone. The only new 'feature' is the 128 player count. Which honestly makes the game even worse.

Whatever the case the Battlefield franchise is for the worse with BF2042.

    The maps are way, way too large for the player count. The increase in player count does not matter at all when the maps are absolutely enormous. There is little to no cover between objectives. Remember when you'd capture a point and head with your squad to another objective all stealthy like in the bushes or a trench? Yeah .. that does not exist in this game. At all. Due to the lack of any cover you pretty much spawn and die constantly.

    I could go on and on with a list like how there's currently no voice chat, the horrible specialist system, complete void of any squad based gameplay, the lack of weapons, vehicles being truly overpowered, etc., etc., but I will not as there are many other reviewers that have covered that. All I can say is, as I stated at the beginning, is this is not Battlefield. It may have the name, but it ain't the BF you know and love.

    Firstly - full disclosure - I'm on console - XBOX Series X. I get it - PC Master race and all that, so no need to bring that old chestnut into this.

    OK - so I was looking forward to this game like nothing else, and I'm a BF fan since BF3 (played 3, 4, 1 and 5 to death). I played the BETA and really enjoyed it, knowing that it was an older build, and happy in the fact that DICE had confirmed that near all the issues with the BETA had been resolved in the release version.

    Unfortunately, the release version is a massive step down from the BETA version for me, for a number of reasons:

    Scoreboard - there isn't one. DICE don't want you feeling bad if you have a poor k/d, therefore they're not going to show you a scoreboard where you can compare your stats to anyone elses. This also means you can't see if anyone has been cheating/hacking and has a 120 k/d ratio. You can't hack on console you say - well see the second dot point.
    Forced cross-play on xbox, with zero console aim assist to combat it. You can't turn cross-play off on Xbox. 90% of the people you come up against are on PC and you just can't compete against m&k when there's no aa to help. You could turn cross play off in the BETA, but they've disabled that in the actual release - now you can only turn it off in the xbox settings and it's buried (hidden) 5 layers deep in the settings, and it also means that you can't cross-play in any other games once you've disabled it.
    Loadout issues - so you play to level up your character and your guns, but the funny thing is 9 times out of 10 the loading screen is broken and you can't actually choose what guns you want to play with, so you load in with the basic first assault rife the game gives you, without any attachments that you've opened up and also no gadgets to use. You can't change this in-game. You're stuck with that gun and no gadgets unless you pick up someone elses gun off the ground.
    No server select - in the all out war (standard conquest) mode, you can only press play, and you have to trust the system to place you in a game. You don't know where that server is and based on the lag, the system doesn't care if it places you in an oceanic one, a US or European one etc. Once you're in a server, you don't know where it is located. You also don't know what map you're loading into, and how far along that game is. It also doesn't keep you in that server. Once a map is finished you're booted back to the main menu to find a new game, which could be the same map, and also another game that's close to finishing.
    Errors - tonnes of them. I couldn't play much at all on Saturday as the game just errored out trying to enter any game mode.
    The characters - although I'm not a fan of the specialists, I don't mind them so much, but some of them are just game breaking and 90% of people are using the broken ones, such as the one that gives out free armour plates. You're forced to use him also, due to the unfairness of having to constantly fight people with 20 more HP than you.
    Removed all aspects of team play.
    The gunplay - random at best. There's bloom on all guns and it's a flip of the coin as to whether your bullets hit their target or not. Gun fights aren't won by skill, they're won by chance to give those that aren't great a fighting chance.
    The maps - some are gorgeous and look incredible. But they are also lifeless as they are just too big. Some of them have next to zero cover and you just spawn in the middle of an open desert, then are forced to watch a gun chambering animation before moving - usually by that time you've been shot.
    Portal is amazing, although I wouldn't know it as about 80% of portal games error out for me. Also, DICE have made it so you can barely level up anything when playing portal (levelling is severely capped) to combat idiots that have filled the portal servers with farm xp game modes (AI with 10 health and no weapons).
    I could go on about the no chat, small amount of weapons available, and the general unfinished and broken aspects of the game, but that's plenty for now. Like I said - I'm a massive BF fan and I've been waiting for this game for years. Disappointed is an understatement - maybe in 6 months it might be worth playing. Until then, save your cash if you were on the fence.

    - Shooting system…clunky and horrible
    - Sniping. Absolutely horrible compared to BFV or BF1
    - Movement. Feels like an Indie title especially coming from the amazing system in BFV
    - Destruction. Sad to see but scripted and boring.
    - UI and HUD. Worst UI in history of gaming, horrible is in every possible way. Confusing, inefficient and doesn’t work on PC or Console. A shadow of the decent UI in the previous titles.
    - Maps. Lifeless, boring, thoughtless just a bunch of random areas chosen for maps.
    - Specialists. Completely ruined teamwork, balance.
    - Factionless. WHY this is not 6v6 tdm its 64vs64 u need factions…u need a story…u need a plot or the game feels pointless.
    - Portal…love story my ass. Fun for now, boring in a few weeks.
    - Weapons… a far cry from other games. Go look at Vanguard or MW 2019 and compare it to the basic, first draft of weapon animations in this game.
    - Audio…guns sound horrible. Overall ambiance sounds Flat and again lifeless. Footsteps either super quiet or u hear everything from 300 meters away.

    Legit DICE took everything they improved and developed with the community for the last 6 years and threw it all in the trash. This game is absolute ****

    This game feels nothing like a real battlefield we grew up with.

    No Classes.
    No Scoreboards.
    No reporting or vote kicking.
    No Leaderboards and stats.
    Terrible UI.
    No dedicated servers.
    SBMM..
    No server chat.
    3 official game modes.
    No server size selection.
    Max 4 men squad size.
    No platoons.

    and don't let me start on the bugs..

    Laggy servers
    Spawning as enemy.
    Poop performance with high end pc.
    Bugged friend parties.
    Cant revive bug.
    Terrible netcode.
    Soldiers running around in 2d animations in the distance
    and so on and so on

    You just cant justify paying 60$ and even pre-ordering and get this kind of product.

    Everything what made battlefield true battlefield just cut out. And we are left with this game, which doesnt even worthy to be named battlefield.

    Everyone who are reviewing how good this game is probably never played old battlefields, where you were unnamed soldier, where picking class mattered,where teamwork, and leadership was a key to win a match. And not a shiny skin with a cringy voice line at the end of the match, for most spot assists with a drone.

Instead we got a completely new and revamped Battlefield that reminds me all the time of PUBG. Don't get me wrong but I like the fact that studios and developers creating something new and dare stepping out of their comfort zone. But we as veteran players know that Battlefield is a game that likes to set the standard for the next Battlefield title and so on.

    Cons:
    -Devs saying that they were gonna keep most of the physics from BFV and yet released something far from the standard.
    -Devs and reviewers are being paid or told on how to review the game. The twitter accounts from the devs was such an organized attack on promoting "ThE BeSt BaTtLeFiElD gAmE wE hAvE eVeR cReAtEd"
    -Basic and poor destruction that feels like BF3-4
    -Performance issues while GPU & CPU are only utilized for 50-60%
    -128 players (I've noticed that when encountering more players the lag spikes starts to occur)
    -Map design (this is the worst map design I have ever seen in a BF title. Textures are sharp, every buidling and model looks squared, too many open space. The game throws you into a tutorials on the dessert map, at first I thought I downloaded BF2. My first reaction to this was: "I want the game from the trailer".
    -What's up with the bullet spread?
    -Long range shooting feels RNG-based
    -UI (It's improved comparing with the Beta but still has a long way to home. I see people on reddit making redesigns who should be hired immediately)
    -Options menu is a mess but this is the least of my concerns
    -The classes. Besides destruction, the classes are the kind of thing that makes Battlefield classic. I don't like the mixup with operators and classes. There is already so much to focus on and now I have to filter players of them cheating or having some kind of sketchy operators that can scan through walls. The players don't like it and it should be removed instantly.

    Mids - Pro's:
    -The scoreboard. Everyone is complaining about bringing the old scoreboard back. I honestly don't care at all. This Scoreboard is a step into the right direction and devs should make everything a bit more objective based to have a much better team experience.
    -The weapons. I don't mind having 22 guns to choose from. In the end I only play with the same kind of weapons and at this stage of the game with all the hitreg problems there is no gun that has my preference. People also seem to forget that this game has more weapons which you can find in the Portal mode.
    -Portal. This is the only spark the game has to offer but at this point I'm starting to think if it wasn't better for them to release remakes of the games with the BFV engine (Remakes, not remaster). That would've put them in a better spotlight then BF2042
    -No story mode. It's personal preference between 'Play a story once' or 'play a better multiplayer'. However we now have a full team concentrating on Multiplayer and still received a burning house.
    -No all chat. I leave this in the middle but I don't miss it at all. 90% of the time the chat is being used to flame.

    Once again they pulled the rug from beneath our feet. Took our money and run. They will come back in 6 months with a update that makes everyone happy just to take it away three months later. The lesson to be learned here is that if the beta doesn't satisfy you, you should not be preordering or buying the game at release.

    This game is without a single doubt in my mind, the WORST BF.

    This game is clearly in actual Beta and should not have been released but they did it anyway. It is the most riddled with bugs AAA game i have ever played on top of servers not working.

    They completely stripped it of typical features, server browser, classes, voice chat, ability to change squads, low selection of weapons, inconsequential loadouts(you can equip any attachment at any time), and any other game modes besides Conquest and Breakthrough. Hope you didnt like smaller map playlists without vehicles cause thats completely gone. Have you ever heard of games taking away features for no good reason? No because most devs arent brainless.

    This is on top of awful game design, pacing is simply terrible because of the huge maps, you run for 5 minutes from point to point hoping you dont get sniped or vehicle killed before you even get a chance to engage anybody because the maps are huge swaths of open area. And you mostly do get sniped or killed by a vehicle so youre spending 10 min just to get to a point on Conquest and you trade kills and then you start the cycle over again. It is atrocious. They have learned nothing from other shooters on the market.

    The current DICE devs dont know how to design a good BF experience, and thats a fact. You know its a huge red flag when they stripped a bunch of features and dont QA their product properly.

    CoD releases games every year and while they may not be perfect, have never been as god awful as this BF. BF 2042 has been in development for over 3 years, and this is the best they can do with EA funding.

    Enemies look the same as friendlies

    Have to opt out of revive every death, no idea who can actually revive me anyway

    Lack of game modes

    No hardcore

    Cannot join, create, or lock a squad

    No military ranks associated with numerical ranks

    No resizable minimap

    Audio is poorly mixed

    The maps, while stunning from both a scale and visuals perspective, lack any real flow for infantry combat. No separate Heli & Jet controls. Horizontal pitch (or yaw) when set to mouse movement is inverted by design and cannot be inverted again like vertical pitch can. So your aircraft goes the other way than your mouse does. Cannot customize loadouts before joining a game. Cannot select loadout or operator before joining a server which, in certain situations, spawn you directly into the game with whatever you had last game. This happens when joining a fresh breakthrough game, mostly. From what I can see, DLSS is not working properly or not making any difference Vehicle crosshairs are pixelated as ♥♥♥♥ UI elements do not have transparency element and distant 2D/3D map markers and UI elements do not fade out by distance and cannot be scaled up or down Obnoxious voice overs, operators are incredibly vocal, every time you do an action they say a line. Spotting system is contextual and misses a lot of the time. For example if you press Q over an enemy tank it doesn't always spot it, but places a go-to marker on that area. The team/squad order menu (or whatever it's called) is a pile of garbage. It covers the entire screen, it requires using the mouse to select the options, but not clicking on them for some reason, you have to depress Q. This needs to be redesigned into a friendlier and smaller semi-transparent wheel. Plus, it's not contextual at all and it doesn't seem to have an impact to other players, I requested ammo constantly and nobody even saw my request. Unnecessary changes to the aircraft flight characteristics from BF4 models On the spawn screen screen tanks/helis use the same icon, you simply cannot tell if that's a transport or attack heli that you are spawning into. When in tank, you don't have this little tank outline which tells you where the driver and gunner are looking at. No maps with water and thusly no boats.. despite there being a big ass boat on the loading screen. No stats page No commander No squad points for issuing orders or following them No HOTAS support No marksman headshot bonus for long range snipes Melee takedown animations have been gutted. All enemies are brought to a standing position before one specific kill is performed. Revive is glitched when downed teammate's head is too close to something. Cannot tell if there is room to enter a friendly vehicle without trying to get in it. Cannot dive underwater Damage dealt numbers, e.g. "VEHICLE HIT 28" after hitting a tank with a rocket, have been removed. This applies to both infantry and vehicles. Non-removable profanity filter Repairing vehicles does not give XP Faction locked weapons and gadgets in Portal No rule editor support for objective based game modes Grappling Hook is afraid of smoke Bullets are afraid of power lines Zoom issues with sniper scopes Inability to switch teams Vehicle entry and exit animations have been removed Weapons can't have different sets of attachments in different loadout presets. Meaning if you want to have a suppressor on the one semi-auto pistol in the game for one preset, you can't have it without a suppressor in your other presets. Lack of destruction/levelution ADS required to change weapon fire mode Cannot move while prone and ADS Crossplay issues on Xbox 'Assist Counts as Kill' has been removed No fixed heavy weapons No zeroing sniper scopes, starting scope (not sure about the others) has no hash marks on reticle for references AA rocket damage appears inconsistent BF5 movement mechanics removed This game is unfinished.

    Nothing about this game is positive. It's a disgusting, abysmal insult to the franchise, and plays more like a cheap mobile knock-off of Battlefield than a next-gen AAA iteration. Frankly, it's easily the worst game of the entire franchise. I've never given a negative review for a game - usually I'll just leave it alone and move onto something else. But not this time. The sheer gall that EA has to create this utter tripe and then sell it for top dollar is the most insulting thing I've seen in this industry. This game needed a good 2 more years of development, if not a complete overhaul.

    The woeful part about all of this is they'll get away with it. Again and again they ruin games by forcing developers to rush to please investors. People will continue to pre-order ultimate editions and EA will continue to exploit this by increasing their speed at churning out awful, unfinished content for higher prices. They're a business first and foremost and care very little for the games that they produce or in fact the players.

    We'll never get everyone to stop pre-ordering and unifying against EA—that's a lost cause. Instead, sadly, the only people that can really do something about it are the developers who can choose to stop working with EA entirely.

    The high scores from "critics" has actually proven that these companies are paid by EA to provide good reviews. Someone actually gave it a perfect 100. How?

    An absolutely baffling situation.

    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.
