    TBH I don't understand the negativity. I played the game now for a bit over 10 hours, never had any crashes and game runs smooth. Also with Portal and the main modes there is more than enough to play. There are some minor things to patch like Assault Rifles or the Hovercrafts, but no reason to rate this game below 8.

    I personally really like it :)

    I don't fully understand the negative reviews of this game. Yes there are some minor issues but these are being addressed and overall I am finding it a lot of fun to play and can't see it getting boring anytime soon. There's a lot of potential with it and I'm looking forward to seeing how it evolves over the next year.

    Battlefield 2042 is already a hit, truely addictive and with a great depth in content and strategies thanks to specialists among others.
    And yeah, I assume, specialists is one of the best design idea of this Battlefield: it doesn't replace classic classes but completes it by bringing a really interesting customization level (you can create and customize your classes in the game to play as you like).

    It's already good and it will be really great in the next few months after some patches.
    I can't wait to see how the game will evolve in the next two years.

    See you on the battlefield !    … Expand

    As a person who has played almost all Battlefield games from Bad Company 2, I must say that the game is amazing. I have lowered my rating because of the huge maps with lots of open areas, that is only thing i don't like about it.

BF2042 is fun. A real gameplay improvement over past Battlefields simply because of quality of life gameplay improvements such as vehicle drops and being able to change load outs on the fly. It’s a good game because it allows you to mix different eras of Battlefield bringing some of the best maps, vehicles and weapons from past games. Meta critic user ratings has lost its value because people use them just as a way to criticize specific companies and provide a completely emotional and biased review. Many didn’t even buy the game and played the final version. There are people giving reviews of the beta. What’s the value in that? I see people giving high praises to previous Battlefield titles that had a pretty low user score. So whenever a new Battlefiled title comes out it seems previous titles are great games while the latest release is the worst Battlefield ever. Let’s be clear about what is actually bad or needs improvement.
    - Some things are or feel unfinished in BF2042. There is no voice comm for starters that is so needed for squad gameplay and that was clearly left out in order to release the game on schedule.
    - There are no scoreboards as in previous games. I understand why but there should be an option to enable them. The reason not to use scoreboards to motivate players is indeed logical. Battlefield games are not like COD. They are focused on theaters of war where everyone big or small contributes to win or lose in countless ways. In past Battlefield games there were players that were constantly on the top of the scoreboard for some arbitrary logic. Either they were a medic healing everyone and getting lots of points. Or they are sniping killing everyone from a well protected position thus ending the match with a great K/D ratio. And so on and on. Meanwhile there is this guy that has been transporting troops from one point to the other. Or focusing in defending a couple of points that gets a low score. Like it or not that low score removes the fun and sense of achievement. So in BF2042 Dice decided to instead give more focus to how players contributed in the overall match than a typical scoreboard. Most heals, most covering fire and so on. It’s a good approach considering the type of game but choice is something that should always be a priority. Dice should focus on bringing scoreboards back and giving people the choice to enable it or not. A valid point of criticism is also that without a scoreboard or a team overview so to speak its hard to know if a server is balanced. Or if there are too many specialists of a certain kind. There is a small advantage for not having a scoreboard. In previous Battlefields once people noticed a team was losing and players were starting to quit the game, more people quit making it harder for the losing team to recover. Keeping players ignorant is sometimes the best choice.
    Some people are complaining about no classes. That I don’t understand. In each Battlefield and COD game people criticize in how it’s always the same and they need to evolve. Well they evolved. The new system does bring an additional flavor to the game. Does has advantages over past games. Specifically the fact that you can better tailor your character to how you want to play instead of the old class system that forced you to use a limited loadout depending on the class you chose. In BF2042 the loadout is fully customizable. Your not limited by a fixed class. Specialists give you specific gadgets and passive traits that suit different people play styles without overpowering you. It is clearly better than past games. People resist to change but also complain if a game doesn’t evolve. If you search online for actual comparisons between the classes and the new specialist system you will see that those that took the time to compare it always end up with the conclusion that the new system is better.
    Performance wise the game needs improvement. Graphics are really good but not to the point that for some reason a RTX 3080 struggles to get 60 FPS with RTX ON. Also the lack of Ray traced reflections makes no sense. It’s a step back from what people expect. In any case the game runs fine and looks amazing with some minor tweaks.
    Some last notes. Environmental hazards, changing weather and gameplay conditions. Map flow and so on are usually left out from player reviews. The fact that there are so many weapons because you have content from different eras is also left out. So keep that in mind. All these things are positive things that are only available in BF2042. A clear evolution over past games.
    So given all the pros and cons I’m giving BF2042 a solid 8. It’s a good game that could be better with some improvements as detailed above. It brings enough progress to the formula to be considered better than some competitor games and even past games in the series.    … Expand

I do feel like it launched early, and I've experienced the same bugs and crashes everyone else has, but the game is playable and has enough content to at least be a 4-6/10. Again, I know it's not perfect. Here's hoping they support the game instead of dropping it from the initial release stink.

    Update November 2022: The game is in a much better place now. I've easily put over 100 hours into the game since launch and believe 2042 is closer to what it should have been at launch. They've added tons of new items in game, new maps, season passes, new operatives, weapons, equipment, and rebalanced the classes for a more authentic Battlefield feeling. I'd highly recommend giving the game another go.

    Edit to the edit: 330 hours of gameplay and it's by far one of my favorites. Pick it up for $20 and enjoy a great game.    … Expand

    Map size will take some getting used to if people aren’t calling in vehicles. My biggest complaint especially at the lower levels is this feels like an infantry farming simulator. Vehicles are crazy strong and at low levels you don’t have the tools to deal with them.

    Specialist system in its current iteration I would probably rate a 5. Most abilities are useless or barely noticeable where 1-2 are leaps and bounds better than everything else. (Looking at you walk hack and grappling hook)    … Expand

    portal itself has been awesome, some of the bullet spread of weapons has been questionable but the maps remastered are great and the ability to create wild game modes is in full swing you just have to go and find them.

    hazard zone has been a surprising amount of fun, very difficult but very rewarding all the same, its pretty shallow and i have 1300 hours in escape from tarkov so this is very very shallow by comparison but its a side mode to complement portal and conquest and im ok with that, brings my boys together for some proper team work and its ok, i like it.

    the main conquest is as it has been for a few years now which is chaotic and crazy, the new maps i like, reminds me of the big maps in BF2 and that encourages sticking closer to your team mates and using transport, they all have their hot zones and filter points and as long as your pc can handle it the action stays smooth enough to have a good game.

    its far from a solid 10, but its in no way a 1/2/3, absolutely no way. its a bit of a mess but there is a good game in here with potential, the hate for EA is justified though, its quite clear its another game pushed out of the door when it needs another 6 months on the burner but im still having a good time with it, i realize that's rare and its in such a mess who knows what your experience may be like, for that reason it might be wise to wait on some patches and polish but i still think its a good game in general.    … Expand

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

    While there is a server browser for Portal I would like to see one for the main 2042 gamemode as well. Would also like for the game wide scoreboard to make a comeback, as it’s nice to know how other players are doing even if the list would be huge for 128 player matches.

    Personally I have never enjoyed or finnished the campaigns of the previous games. They always felt a bit tacked on. So this time I appreciate that the resources that would otherwise have been spend on that have now been dedicated to make the Portal game mode which is almost like another game on its own!

    Right now I would give the whole package a 8/10, but over time I would expect it to rise to a 9/10 rating once updates start rolling out with fixes and new content.    … Expand

    There is a histrionic hate bandwagon aimed at this game and it's not a fair representation of what it's like to play it. 13 maps in total including portal and a logic editor for creating custom game modes. There are only 22 guns in the main game for now but when you include the ones from portal that doubles. Ultimately a great BF experience that will improve to become a solid entry in the series' history.
    A common complaint is what people are calling “bloom” but should simply be called bullet spread. This is minimized but not eliminated by standing still. You cannot move and shoot in this game with accuracy, but people who are more used to BF 5 or Call of Duty tend to overlook this.

    What is ultimately going to happen is lots of people will hop on the hate bandwagon and pass on this game, only to pick it up on sale later and realize they have been missing out. If you’re still skeptical you can sign up for EA Play Pro and try it through that service. You will also gain access to the other BF games that way.

    I strongly recommend the game, especially if you prefer the gunplay from BF 1-4 over that of BF 5 or Call of Duty.

    Keep in mind that review bombs organized by people who have never played the game are a very real thing in the age of user reviews.    … Expand

The portal thing is uncompletlely done and Hazard Zona feels like a non-sense mode. I must say The great experiences comes in breakthough, conquest is too large even for 128 players, I would like to see 128 vs 128 for conquest maps because the maps are really bigs. The game has some things from battlefield 4 but as I didnt manage to play deep that game i couldnt understand what is different from it, but it has that feelling. For 60USD game I must say is a great game but I would expect for is half price because just Breakthrough is the great mod for playing here. As I said portal feels uncomplete, hazard zone meeh, and people create umbalance servers in portal. I just goes for breakthrough and, well, people complain about lack of global chat and voice chat. I mean, you don't have to chat global with people unless they are your friends right? and well, about the voice chat i had to use discord, this made me forced to meet new people to play as team. It was a really good experience when you adapt. Also some minor things like no scoreboard (uncomplete), you cannot create a squad, you cannot change from USA to RU, sometimes there are servers with infinite tickets and cannot start/end, and in some maps devs were to far when setting points in top towers making it impossible to reach it (even because attackers just have 2 air units to deploy and attack). Some flaws that make me think it deserver a 7.5/10 Maybe with feature content and some fixes game would reach a 10/10 Until that feel free of read, watch videos and avoid the game if some of this problems affects you the gameplay in ways that cannot let you enjoy it.… Expand

Scoreboard is bad. Even managing to join the squad of a friend is difficult.

    Therefore playing TDM, rush or small conquest on the new BF42 or even BF3 maps is awesome and really fun. TDM on Noshar Canals feels like back in the days when BF3 came out.

With time, given that EA does not cut funding due to all the negative press, the game can become fantastic. There is a lot of potential here, and with time I think DICE can deliver a spectacular experience, given the opportunity.

    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

    Не розумію чому відразу з оперативниками не залишили систему класів, це здавалось очевидне рішення, схрестити оперативників в стилі COD і стару систему яку фани полюбили ще з попередніх частин. Як на мене оперативники додали ще більше можливостей до цієї пісочниці. Наприклад там є оперативник який може короткочасно визначати противників через навіть через стіни. Я вирішив додати собі в комплект димову гранату, закидати її в приміщення з противниками і відразу отримувати кілька фрагів. Якщо більше пограти то думаю можна ще знайти багато комбінацій і можливостей для вбивств.
    Зброї тут здається менше ніж в попередніх частинах, це для декого буде мінусом. Але мій респект за систему модифікації прямо на полі бою, це прямо дуже крута штука і я надіюсь що вона на довго залишиться в серії.
    Режими мені фактично всі зайшли крім hazard zone. Режим портал б'є по ностальгіїі (і це круто). Побігати на картах з третьої частини було приємно. Хоч я й люблю сінгл але тут його відсутність це напевно скоріше плюс, відразу потрапляєш в зарубу без прелюдій.
    Баги все ще є але по суті це той сaмий battlefield в якому весело ганяти по полю і дивитись та самому брати участь у всьому тому незаскриптованому екшні який створюють самі гравці. Можна брати на знижках.

I miss the old style Battlefield used to have where you can pull up soldier stats and unlock progression. Gameplay is smooth and I have had no issues connecting to any servers.… Expand

    Yes, there is poor optimization, yes, there are not many little things inherent in the games of the series, and there is still very little content with a backlog for future battle passes, but the gameplay is still a great pleasure

Free dlcs I believe. I don't like that. We need TDM and DOM as part of the main gamemodes, not portal.

    Overall, they dropped the ball, but it doesn't mean the game is pure crap. bf2042 is about a 6 or 7 out of 10 for me... I believe with updates, it could be a 8 or 9. The problem is, we shouldn't have to wait for updates. BF3 was the best out of the gate.    … Expand

    I know many people will disagree with me, but I overall think that battlefield 2042 is a pretty solid game and a (somewhat) evolution of the core “all out warfare” formula that was present in previous games. There are way too many bugs for it to be incredible, and the customization with guns is certainly disappointing.

There are way too many bugs for it to be incredible, and the customization with guns is certainly disappointing. (There are like 1/3 of guns that were in BF4) However, the game has plenty of potential, the gameplay loop is fun and invigorating. 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. I’m personally glad I picked up this game, and I’m excited to where the fun “only in battlefield” moments will take me.… Expand

    Good 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.

    This chapter of Battlefield is close to BF3, as for me. There are some interesting levels. Unfortunately, BF2042 has strange moments with balance in some cases (only 1 air fighter for 64 players) and too many prospect spaces. Not the best, but definitely not a bad game.

    Not as terrible as many are saying, it has a rocky launch just like every other Battlefield game since 1942. The audio is terrible but DICE will likely fix that, FPS performance is inconsistent between maps, it's terrible on Kaleidoscope but not bad on others.

    Good points are that it's easy to kill players, the controls are smooth and flexible, wide weapon and gear customization,    Not as terrible as many are saying, it has a rocky launch just like every other Battlefield game since 1942.

    Good points are that it's easy to kill players, the controls are smooth and flexible, wide weapon and gear customization, beautiful graphics.

    Bad stuff are: menus and we talked about this with BF1 and BFV, cheaters running amuck right now, game sometimes won't launch, terrible muffled and quiet audio (was fine in beta), some maps are TOO big and too hard on graphics performance, some keybinds are hardcoded to certain keys if you're left handed or like to use different keys, FOV configuration takes some figuring out.

    If you're on the fence, try it through Steam and refund it if you don't like it, or wait a few months for fixes and price drop.    … Expand

    Finally a battlefield worth playing again. After several years they’re finally heading in the right direction again. Besides the main game, battlefield portal is amazing. It brings back some good old memories. Defiantly having fun with the boys and girls again. The one thing I really miss is content, especially from a game that was so long in development.

    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

    Since all the post launch improvements that game has gotten significantly better. If the developers continue to fix problems and make improvements at this rate, we may have a great game on our hands. In its current state the game is fun, but not at all perfect. The game at this point is definitely worth looking at.

    10 steps backwards. There is nothing here to compel fans of the series to invest their time or money, I guess it’s back to BF1 for me.

    Edit: After a longer play time, I can genuinely say that I was wrong. This game is fun, and it has a LOT of potential. I’m excited to see what it becomes 6 months from now, don’t let the hate machine keep you from at least giving it a try.

Ive ran into few bugs, biggest one for me was not being able to revive my downed teamate for whatever reason. All out warfare and hazard zone are great in my opinion. I do feel some of the maps are too huge in scale, requiring you to travel very large distances to find the action. Yet, something about the game feels off to me. The destructible enviroments are very lackluster, i mean my jet literally bounced off a skyscraper but when i run into a light pole it blows up. The reactive weather disasters are fine. Really wish they caused more carnage especially with buildings and cars. The bullet spread is abysmal sometimes, especially with AR's. Im not personally bothered by the "lack" of weapons, imo you dont need fifty guns cause they all end up feeling the same to me. The specialist system is ok. I feel like it would flow better with traditional classes at certain points, but it honestly really isnt that huge for me. I am just glad i am having fun, and this game is in no way a 0 out of 10. There was genuine effort put into this game, and I still am having the classic "only in battlefield" moments especially when im playing with my freinds. Its just fun to do dumb **** in battlefield. And thats why enjoy this game more than other people. Im able to look past the minor negatives(while their is A LOT of them) and just enjoythe base experience of Battlefield 2042.… Expand

    The game is currently incredibly buggy and full of hackers (what multiplayer game isn't?) But overall. Battlefield 2042 when it gets a few patches into it has a lot of potential to be a really good game. All in all, the action is high and the combat is good. But if you can look past some bugs. It's a pretty fun shooter!

    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.
