    There are some very annoying things which make the game not that enjoyable like previous Battlefield V...

    1) Class system is totally broken. For example if I switch class to medic during the game I do not have ability to heal friendly players! In Battlefield V there were no problems with switching classes 2) In 80% of cases I am getting killed by tanks or other armored vehicles or    There are some very annoying things which make the game not that enjoyable like previous Battlefield V...

    1) Class system is totally broken. For example if I switch class to medic during the game I do not have ability to heal friendly players! In Battlefield V there were no problems with switching classes

    2) In 80% of cases I am getting killed by tanks or other armored vehicles or snipers.

    3) Every time I switch on the game I am experiencing massive stuttering during first minute of gameplay making the game unplayable. I have $4000 modern PC.

    4) Respawn is also **** up. When I respawn, the next second I often get killed by enemy which is nearby. The only thing I appreciate about respawn is that it's faster than in Battlefield V.

    5) When the game is over you cannot see any scoreboard. It just not there...

    6) There are characters and weapons from Battlefield 3, 1942 and bad company 2. Why?

    7) Overall the way how you want to edit your classes, join the games is stupid and not that nice. If there would be simple list of game modes, e.g. :Team Deathmatch, Rush, Breaktrough etc. it would be much more nicer instead of weird rectangles named all-out warfare, hazard zone and portal. It does not make any sense for players.

    8) No campaign!!!

    In conclusion, if DICE or whoever is responsible for this game will take care of it, remove the bugs and update the game - more maps, bug fixes, fix issues with classes, I will be considering to install this game, but it's such a garbage I had to uninstall it.    … Expand

Now I’m just rolling on the floor laughing, while returning it again! WTF were you guys at Dice AND EA thinking? You had an easy payday but you read the room wrong and f-d it all up.

    2.3, the current user score is far too low when I write this. This game is much better and is generally being undersold. For example, I would bet big money that those writing a poor review for this game have not spent over 24 hours playing it. At first glance, yes, the game looks terrible. However, after playing it past 24 hours, I enjoy this game. Why?
    1. Choices. This game offers a vast number of play styles and choices. Want to fly in the air or travel on the ground? Do you want to fight solo or support a team by being a medic? Want to fight up close or far in the distance using a sniper rifle?

    2. The maps are great. They are massive, with enough for 128 people having 5-6 mini battles throughout.

    3. Talking here only for the PC servers, since I have not checked out the cross-servers, this game's skill level is very high. Many highly talented players play this game, and you are sure to find competition at ALL levels. Think you are the best in the game? You will very likely find another player with your skill level or higher.

    4. I think the graphics are amazing. Battlefield 2042 has incredible artists making the clouds in the game - yes, the clouds. I think the mountains and all the nature bits of the game are fantastic and artistic. Running through the forests and mountain ranges alone is... actually fun.

    Take it from me - I have died probably more than anyone else in this game. However, it is STILL fun to play. The gaming community is underselling this game... and frankly makes it a rare gem. If you buy this game, try and play it long enough and be humble.

    UPDATE several months later: The flaws of this game:
    1. Scoreboard only includes your squad and not everyone in the game. It does compare your squad with other squads, but that is not accurate of individual performance.

    2. I found I have to play cross-platform in order to play. If I play only with PC users, there can be instances where there are not enough players to start a game.

    3. This game is riddled with bugs. Some bugs are easy to live with, but several bugs crash the game. I have heard of people getting stuck and having to redeploy. I have heard of people getting stuck in the sky or the earth. I have had it that all players and vehicles become invisible for a long time, and only their guns are seen. These bugs continue and, in some way, are getting worse in the game since its launch months ago.

    4. There is no way to play nonviolently. Every aspect leads to violence for anyone that wants to chill out in this game and relax - probably not the game for you.

    5. In the in-game chat, I have heard racist remarks. Swearing is consistent amongst users, but this is **** starred out.

    6. This game is competitive. If you are playing to have fun, get ready for abusive language about your performance in the chat.

    7. Overall, the community is low in this game. Either nobody is chatting, or there is some argument happening. Trolling is pretty consistent in this game's gaming community.    … Expand

    I love Battlefield, I've been playing Battlefield for 10 years, it gave me a lot of good memories. But this game sucks. it has a lot of bugs. Very poorly optimized for hardware. Unfinished at all, not worth anyone buying it. And now EA is going to drop the game. I only have bad memories of it. Bring my battlefield back, EA!

    A game that crashes even more after every patch, a shooter game where shooting still doesnt work after months from release, full of bugs, non intuitive UI, super bad performance, unbalanced gameplay, clown specialists that makes me feel like playing a comedy shooter when the exodus movie gave me the feeling this will be even more grittier than battlefield 1. Now that was a fukin lie.

    The missleading marketing was so good that so many people including myself ended up preordering the game.. This should be illegal and is similar worse like CP2077 when it released.

    - No scoreboard as we knew it
    - No Server Browser for AOW
    - No VOIP
    - Crossplay invite friends is buggy
    - U can only join a match with a maximum of 4 people (one squad)
    - 128 players are way to much
    - Way to huge maps that makes me feel playing a copy pasted far cry
    - Almost no cover and IF there is cover it can do electric dmg to you or even explode, like wtf?
    - No Squad play and almost no XP rewards for specific gameplay actions
    - No Content, no battlepass
    - Almost no destruction just scripted stuff like the rocket on orbital
    - No gritty atmosphere but fortnite style saturation
    - Most cringy voicelines ever with voice actors that doesnt even fit to the specialist
    - Netcode is a mess
    - Hitreg is a mess
    - Aim assist for console players is a mess
    - I could continue.. but I wont waste to much of my lifetime for this.

    Portal with restricted XP to 300 a minute and NO ribbons. You can gain 6K XP in 20 minutes while making 25-35K XP in 20 Minutes in a standard AOW round if you are good at battlefield. This is a joke. Who made such bad calculations? No one even plays portal anymore because of the restrictions.

    Hazard Zone.. well I dont even want to start here. There is literally no value in this mode. You try to extract and obtain coins you then can spend to play your loadout you can play in AOW anyway. Just to do THE EXACT SAME THING you did before being able to buy your loadout with coins. No other rewards nothing. This game mode is already dead like Firestorm 2.0 back in BF5. Wasted. They hyped this mode into oblivion. Holy moly..

    Content got delayed to "early" summer. Scoreboard got delayed from february to march. This is a joke. What the heck happened to DICE? This is not battlefield and this is no live service. This is a bad aprils fool joke.

    Mas eu já acho que o fracasso do BF não vem disso, e sim da mal administração e uso do que tentaram aproveitar e não aproveitaram, a essencia do BF foi literalmente obliterada nesse jogo, não tem nada dos outros jogos da franquia nesse, e literalmente tem um downgrade na jogabilidade. O que é triste, pq o realismo era o que mais me prendia, agora se fosse pra ser um jogo viajado, eu vou pro COD que me divirtor mais mesmo kk.

Forget about weapon recoil patterns and and fair recoil feel, just random spread after 3-4 bullets.

    i have played every single Battlefield game since BF 1942 and if you combine every single error and glitch from 1942 and until battlefield V it would still be short of the amount of glitches and bugs 2042 has and that is saying something, currently farming simulator 2022 has more players than 2042 heck even the parody game has more than twice the amount of players,

Balancing weapons and vehicles is completely out of proportion. Jets and helicopters are totally op, and tanks and other vehicles might just make it out of the spwan before being hit by Thousand Missiles, since of course everyone can carry a rocket launcher or C4. In addition, there are the maps that are simply a disaster. Everything is open you have no cover and after 2 minutes on a map you realize that there is absolutely no love in these maps. In general, the content that the game offers is a joke after about 30 hours you have unlocked everything there is and you have nothing left to do except farm up to XP up to level S999 and I don't have to tell anyone that this is not fun. The performance has also gotten worse with each patch, both for me with good hardware (3080ti and new Ryzen) and for my friends with slightly older hardware and with the last patch it only crashes non-stop after 5 minutes in one round.

    Conclusion: Do yourself a favor and stay away. Because even I, as a long-time Battlefield fan, have given up hope that the new content will get better. (Even Hardline was more fun....)    … Expand

    Fans and community again and again told EA/Dice in many and lengthy posts what they expect from a modern Battlefield. Then EA development deciders seem to have a meeting about it, realize what the community wants and then decide: Now we make it all it a different way, because the community cannot know what they want - only us godlike EA deciders are smart enough to know what the community wants. Well, the reactions on the released game now show how "smart" EA really is. The have launched another gigantic flop.

    So let's skip this abomination of a battlefield game and hope the best for the next try. Hopefully from Dice LA or whatever they call themselves now, they always seem to have a better feeling for what Battlefield is than the Swedish.

As of now there is just so much wrong with the game. If you are playing on the older generation of consoles, the delay is so bad the game is nearly unplayable. For the newest generation of consoles, there are still problems with his registration. The decision to go with specialists instead of the traditional solider/class system was a big mistake. The specialists do have the traditional classes rolled into them to an extent, though it does not work very well. Gameplay is not enjoyable, as vehicles such as the Volte, Nightbird, and more are extremely overpowered, to the point where they are game breaking. There are certain guns as well such as the K30 among a few that are leagues above the rest, which puts newer players who do not have these guns at a disadvantage. In addition to all of this, when you are downed, there is a decent chance your character will be half inside a wall, which makes teammates unable to revive you. I'm honestly not sure this game can be salvaged. With other games recently released such as Halo Infinite that I am playing much more of now, and even returning to Battlefield 1 instead, I think this game might be in a doomed state. Player counts being higher in Battlefield 1 and 5 seem to suggest this as well. I do hope I am wrong though.… Expand

Eventually, when you due they are filled with AI-controlled "bots" due to lack of real players.

    Now let's pretend you DO get into a server.. you're welcomed with server lag, fps drops, guns with horrendous hit registration, and bugs such as your character getting stuck in limbo after a death which is only fixed by closing and restarting the who game making you miss out on everything earned in that round of play.

    Quite simply it is so horrendous there should probably be a class-action lawsuit filed for false advertisement and/or fraud because there is no possibility a AAA developer the likes of DICE and EA should be able to sell a game that is fundamentally broken in every way imaginable. Refunds for this title should come as standard due to the sheer audacity of the developers to sell us an alleged AAA title in this state.

    Absolute mess of a game, lackluster in every single way possible, only giving it a rate higher than 2 because they added AI and COOP back to the franchise but thats about it.

    Ha, enfin un opus Battlefield dans la guerre moderne !
    Ce préambule me donne le sourire : on part déjà sur le bon pied. Ça faisait trop longtemps qu'on enchainait des épisodes première ou seconde guerre, pas du tout adaptés à la jouabilité d'un BF.

    Ce préambule me donne le sourire : on part déjà sur le bon pied. Ça faisait trop longtemps qu'on enchainait des épisodes première ou seconde guerre, pas du tout adaptés à la jouabilité d'un BF.
    On retrouve donc nos armes sur un fond de guerre moderne, avec beaucoup de changements au tableau (et ça aussi ça fait du bien, les épisodes qui s'enchainent sans grand changement, c'est sympa 5mn mais pour le côté ludique, on repassera).
    Au programme : les classes sont des prétextes interchangeables (un médecin peut s'équiper d'une trousse de munitions ou bien d'un lance roquette), ce qui est pratique et polyvalent pour toutes les situations (+ possibilité de changer en cours d'une vie selon conditions). On découvre un côté "héros" comme dans pleinnnns de jeux à la mode, mais il faut surtout y voir des presets d'équipements. Toujours des paliers avec des niveaux liés à de l'expérience engrangée lors des parties dans le but de débloquer des classes, des armes ou encore des véhicules.
    Enfin un rééquilibrage des véhicules, les deux derniers opus leur faisant beaucoup trop la part belle (avions destructeurs et intuables, chars beaucoup trop puissants, enfin surtout l'infanterie pas assez puissante contre les blindés, des anti aériens inutiles et inutilisés, etc etc....) = presque tout ça est fini ! Comme n'importe quelle classe peut s'équiper d'un lance roquette ou d'un anti-aérien, la suprématie des véhicules est limitée : ils sont puissants, mais destructibles sans requérir 20 soldats au lance roquette. Il reste toujours le Z11 (pardon, il s'appelle Nightbird maintenant) qui est toujours trop puissant contre l'infanterie, mais c'est nettement moins pire qu'avant !
    Côté technique, c'est bien mais pas exempt de défauts. Le jeu est beaucoup (trop) consommateur pour le processeur, tandis que la carte graphique se repose; graphismes au mini ou au maxi, pas de gain de FPS pour qui aurait une carte graphique digne de ce nom. C'est clairement un point à améliorer, même avec un I7 dernière génération ça ne sera pas Byzance.
    Egalement au programme, le côté "mod" (mot ici mal employé, il s'agit plutôt de serveurs avec des règles personnalisées). Il est possible de jouer à d'anciennes cartes (par ex. de Bad Compagny 2), avec les règles et armes de l'époque, ou tout bonnement avec les armes du jeu normal. C'est une excellente idée, qui apporte une liste de maps jouables plus importante (mais pourquoi ne pas les avoir intégrées au jeu de base, que diable !).

    Malheureusement, on n'échappe pas aux modes actuelles du jeu vidéo : serveurs accessibles uniquement en matchmaking (génial, comment attendre 30s pour rien !), et un genre de "play of the game" en fin de partie, avec les persos qui sortent leur phrase toute faite : pour ce que ça apporte (c.a.d rien), ils auraient pu s'en passer.

    En résumé, un bon épisode. Pas parfait, mais nettement plus plaisant à jouer que les derniers. Au moins on est sur une bonne progression :)    … Expand

    Worst game of 2021. Not even Cyberpunk 2077 was as bad as this has been. The people sating this game is not bad or are having fun with it have either not played a battlefield game prior to this one, are either younger than 20 and easily impressionable or come fromither games such as Apex, Fortnite or Vanguard.

    Easily the worst Battlefield title to date and a top contender for the worst Battlefield launch ever. The Battlefield series is having an identity crisis and it shows. Trying to cash in on modern games as service gimmicks and a complete disregard for what makes the series good. Incredibly disappointing. I was really looking forward to this game and was let down immensely.

    Garbage. Absolute garbage. Worst battlefield that have ever seen the light. Won't spend any words on it anymore. It doesn't deserve it. Stay away. Give money to poor or just throw it away instead. And live happily.

    This game offers absolutely nothing to core FPS players who played infantry only, objective-based tactical modes in the past, like Domination, Frontlines, or even a proper TDM mode.

    You are forced to play silly massive player count modes against overpowered vehicles to unlock anything in the game. Literally, there are no infantry modes that are part of the main game experience. In a game where the vast majority of players are infantry.

    The gameplay can summarised as a "run for 5 minutes trying to find an enemy and then get blown up by a helicopter" constantly looping subroutine.

    The game has a lot of bugs not relevant to the design. I like bloom gunplay in general when it's done right like BF3, but in this game it's sabotaged by hitbox and server hit registration issues. I wouldn't trust DICE to have the subtlety to understand the right feedback from the community regarding what are bugs and what are design issues.

    The worst-in-industry UI, huge gamut of missing features/modes and appalling performance of the game are all absolutely unforgivable.

    EA, please bin this franchise, and spend a minimum of 5 years dissolving DICE and rebuilding a new dev team sorting the wheat from the chaff internally to arrive at a level of quality we saw in titles like BF3 for their time in some new and exciting IP's. There are no shortcuts to this I'm afraid - you really are at the lowest all time low I have seen and I have been playing your games since the mid 80's.    … Expand

    I think the developers actually died early in the process of making this game and there are only a few left to """"""""""""""finish""""""""""" this game and deliver this BETA-EXPERIENCE as a full and complete game. It's disgusting to charge people for playing this BETA because it's more likely 1 year of development away from being a product, that is even worth to pay 5 bucks.

    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.
