They fooled me with Battlefield 5, but not this time, EA. Apply for your refund while you still can! Do not give this huge corporation any money untill they get their heads straight.

    I do not recognize the game as battlefield at all. The UI is messy, cringy ''specialists'', 5 cutscenes to join a multiplayer game and the maps are too big for their own good.

    Dont even get me started on the bugs! You can read about them elsewhere and someone can put them into better words than me.

    I did not like the gameplay. The vehicles feels sticky and are obvious console-ported to PC. The amount of bullet spread is insane and you will constantly find yourself emptying an entire magazine per enemy.

    I will say that Battlefield Portal was interesting and it was pretty much the only gamemode where I had fun.

Without understand those moments were rare and hard to pull off and didnt define battlefield, but were fun moments within it. There is no infantry mode. No small maps. No Rush, breakthrough isn't the same, its cheap knockoff of my favorite Rush. This was clearly a BR game that they decided to change last minute and still published when they shouldn't have. They took a franchise many of us loved, battlefield is my favorite franchise ever, and they **** all over it. It's only battlefield in name. Expand

    The game feels extremely soulless and bland.

    Played it for 6 hours and i just cant find the battlefield vibes in it. Clearly EA wanted to hop on the trend by making the game more "codish". The guns feel like bb guns. The choppers controls are screwed. I could write a whole book about the problems. . .

    The only thing that saves the game from a zero is the Portal mode but just barely.

    I highly recommend to avoid the game for a few months until EA and DICE pull out their heads from their asses.

    Absolutely terrible game. EA said that portal was a love letter to fans but it feels more like a slap in the face. The entire game including portal is horrible. Absolute waste of money. Once again EA has released a bad game just in time for them to take in their Christmas money

I do not even know where to start - the best way to describe it is this: In every Battlefield except Battlefield 2042 you jumped into the game and had the typical Battlefield experience - action, gunfights, nice gunplay and a whole lot of fun mixed with satisfying gameplay and brilliant graphics and legendary maps. In BF 2042 you get nothing like that. The maps are just big empty spaces designed without any love. There are no urban areas, villages, cities or areas with some battlefield-flair in general. Just look at maps like Zavod, Dawnbreaker, Paracel, etc. or any of the BF1 or BFV maps. Vehicle balance just is not there. The weapon pool is just poor - it‘s even worse than poor - it‘s shameful. Battlefield in it‘s newest form with 4!!! assault rifles?! I do not even want to start with the UI - it is horrible - I have never seen such an unusable and non-intuitive UI in any game. Gunplay is **** Maps are **** Technical Aspect is **** No Battlefield feeling. Working parts of every Battlefield since 30 years have been removed. These devs are just **** clueless. THIS IS NOT BATTLEFIELD. THIS IS A VERY BAD CALL OF DUTY CLONE. Expand

    -Разрушений стало меньше, чем в прошлых частях БФ

    -Маленький выбор оружия. В БФ1 явно было больше арсенала
    -Графика - ноль отличий с БФ5
    -Цена 60 евро за этот недоработанный кусок - смешно, этой игре в текущем состоянии цена - 20 евро, если не меньше.

    Геймплейно эта игра теперь похожа на какой нибудь call of duty - от батлы одно название. Раннего доступа мне хватило, чтобы понять, что эта игра мне не нужна и уже удачно вернул за неё деньги. Читающим этот отзыв советую не тратить деньги на эту парашу. Эта игра повторяет сценарий с БФ5.

    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.

    The framework has potential but by God, does it have many flaws:

    It tries so hard to be a flavour of the month game that it forgets to be a Battlefield game. We live in the days of the "hero shooter" so, of course, they try to be a hero shooter. Gone are the classes, everyone can be a medic, an assault, an engineer. You have a total of 22 guns to chose from in the actual game of BF 2042

Gone are the classes, everyone can be a medic, an assault, an engineer. You have a total of 22 guns to chose from in the actual game of BF 2042 (averaging at around ~3 per category). The operators are all different forgettable stereotypes that toss around cringy one-liners when you select them and after the game ends.

    And this doesn't even touch on the technical state of the game. Right now, when you join a match there is a 50% chance that the enemy team won't spawn and your team is stuck in spawn. Or the map loads infinitely. Characters still glitch out of their vehicles (especially air vehicles). Sometimes you cant exit a vehicle you are in. Framerates drop for no apparent reason...Absolutely do not buy this game in its current state. Maybe pick it up on sale in half a year once they have maybe fixed it.

Конечно скорее всего с выходом игры для всех(19 ноября) багов и неприятных моментов станет меньше, а через полгода будет вполне играбельной, однако только с технической части, все остальное останется на таком-же уровне, а именно-абсолютно дурацкая и непонятная система оперативников, топорная и убогая стрельба из "Battlefield V", так еще и с примесью колды, огромные неиграбельные карты(с ужасным мап-дизайном и кучей открытых мест), торнадо которое было добавлено ради рекламной компанией, но на деле надоедает через 5-10 игр и т.д.
    Самое забавное что игру рекламировали как продукт для старых фанатов, а по факту в игре нет ничего что могло бы порадовать любителя "классического баттлфилда" кроме режима "Portal" но за 3500 рублей этого мало!

    I loved the original BF2, BF3, and even BF4 was pretty decent (after a lot of post-release improvements), but BF2042 is complete crap (issues listed below), and from the comments of the developers online its like they are completely out of touch with what their players want. I played somewhere around 20+ hours already, and I just kept getting more and more irritated.

    If you decide to try it, you can look forward to:
    -The worst hit registration of any game I have ever played
    -Bullets simply refusing to go where your gun is pointed (the barrels must be made out of overcooked pasta)
    -Terrible vehicle controls
    -Gravity doesn't exist sometimes for no apparent reason
    -No ability to see match stats in game (no scoreboard)
    -Invisible players and friendly players appearing as enemy
    -No campaign
    -No ability to make or manage squads
    -Hard to team up with friends (and impossible if you have more than 3 friends)
    -Developers telling everyone how much you love their game even though you hate it
    -No refunds if you play more than a couple hours

    Despite what the brigading crew is doing to the User reading, this is the best BF game since BF4. It has is a return to the dna that made BF2, BFBC, BF3, and BF4 such memorable and unique experiences. While not perfect, the game has launched in a better state than most of it’s predecessors and with nearly limitless replayability and gameplay customization through Battlefield Portal.

    I know a 0 is harsh but I am completely fed up with broken unplayable games at launch, and stripped or missing features we expect as battlefield fans. If you want a different still a game make a different game and leave our battlefield alone.

    Others said it before, but this game is such a disappointment. Some things could probably be fixed by devs (no scoreboard, working chat, **** optimisation, hit registration, not enough vehicles to move around, cocking your weapon every time you spawn (which only gets you killed when you spawn into a fight)...), some will be fixed by the community in Portal, but some are here to stay.

Maps are too big for infantry combat and feel soulless most of the time, there is no meaningful destruction, specialists are a wrong move for the series...

    I don't mind the UI (except for the lack of scoreboard, and server browser) and I actually quite like the system for changing your attachments on the go (however the depth of the customisation is a sad joke).

    I give 2 points because running with SMGs is actually quite satisfying.

    This is the worst part of whole BF series.
    After couple of hours I don't want to play it anymore.

    A taunt from DICE - take ugly boring battle royal maps, make tons of bugs and release it as a AAA-shooter.

    If we're being honest as the game is below average at the moment. As many people have stated already this game lacks what made it great in the first place. Dice has this knack that every release they would take a step forward but multiple steps backwards. Then get the game to a nice spot yet never carry the improvements over. This being the most egregious in terms of BF5 to 2042.If we're being honest as the game is below average at the moment.

    EA/Dice you guys have to start taking actual notes on what people loved from past titles and stop aiming to reinvent the wheel all the time. BF5 movement is far superior for example, the medic distance, the bleed out system, fortifications would of made sense in 2042's wide open maps.

    Your UI needs a revision too, it actually fights against the user. I'm not sure what your Day 1 patch will entail but you guys chose to showcase the game like this, I can't justify purchasing this game right now, I simply can't because so many illogical choices made I'd be awarding negligence.

    A lot of reviews touched on the issues and another thing, the hovercraft needs to be reworked as well. That's all I have to say, this is sad, because I'm not sure if changes will be made and this is the first BF that I opted not to buy(I tested open beta and 10 hr Early Access), smh.

    What's wrong with Battlefield 2042?
    Why are people who have followed this game for 15+ years (Battlefield 2) so disappointed?

    Everything that gave BF it's niche in the 'Online FPS Gaming Arena', starting nearly 2 decades ago by a Swedish development studio named DICE, has been neutered and/or completely removed from the game:

    1) Squad Creation and Squad Interaction neutered
    - Starting in BF2, you would be able to create/join/leave/lock/rename and voice-comm with your in-game squad.
    > This was revolutionary as you only needed a mic and some gamers to coordinate what you wanted to do on the gigantic BF maps
    > BF2042 removed the ability to create/leave/lock/join/voice-comm with your own private squads. How have we regressed 15 years later?

    2)Skill expression from air vehicles (Jets/Choppers) by way of a complex Air Physics system
    > The Air Physics in BF2042 have been dumbed down -- speed control, precision aim, tactical maneuvers...all removed in favor of a hand-guided/rail system which raises the skill floor and drops the skill ceiling
    > Think of it like this: whose line is it anyway's greatest quote, "where everything's made up (air physics) and the points (speed control, precision, skill expression) doesnt matter

    3) No scoreboards in BF2042
    - Cmon? Really? Do I even need to say anything?

    4) Map/Lobby disbands in the 'AOW' (default, All out warfare/conquest) game mode
    - Again, self explanatory. Really? We have to go back to the title screen upon map change?

    5) No allchat on PC? You can't even OPT IN (defaulted OPT OUT, for example)??
    - Really? When an amazing 'ONLY IN BATTLEFIELD' moment happens (I.E. sniping a player driving a transport vehicle, who then runs over the sniper after he dies) can't even be talked about across teams anymore?
    > Who made this decision?

    6) VEHICLE Customization COMPLETELY neutered
    - How do we go from
    > deep customization trees, like in BF5 (google it),
    > 'relatively-robust' customization options in BF4
    >> (I.E. BF4 Jet weapon loadout customizations: Heatseekers, Passive/Active Radar missiles, Hydra rocket pods, Laser Guided Missiles, TV Guided Missiles,JDAMs)
    > BF2042 LITERALLY handful of choices
    >> (I.E. BF2042 Jet weapon loadout customizations: Heat Seekers, Air to Air. and Air to ground?)

    7) Commander mode removed
    - In BF2 you could work together with your squad in order to help takeover the Battlefield. Your commander could generate UAVs, Artillery Strikes, and send Supply crates/Vehicle drops for the ace squadrons
    > In BF2042, commander mode is REMOVED, and you can 'drop your own' vehicles. Nice. Really feels like a team here

    8)Server browsers removed from AoW (default, All out Warfare) mode
    - Again, Really? We regressed to online matchmaking?

    9) Destruction in the next gen feels like xbox 360 levels of basic
    - Enough said

    I could go on, but it really makes one wonder how a company, who has literally 15 years worth of successful titles, was able to put a game in the oven for ~4 years of development and fail this hard to maintain the formula.

    The worst part about this entire process was the ~6ish months of marketing after the reveal at 'EA Play' in the summer of 2021: 'This is a BATTLEFIELD FOR THE FANS' they said

    Imagine.

    A 'Battlefield for the fans', that strays so far from Battlefield, that without the name slapped across the title, you wouldn't even know it was created by a game studio with the prestige of DICE.

    Honestly, a disgrace. And no, the consumer is not responsible for the feelings of the people who produced the game. This is not how it works at restaurants when you are served bad food, nor how it works when Game of Thrones' final season is an abomination, nor how it works in any facet of life. Your game is a sorry excuse of a generation-defining franchise. Thankfully, we live in a world where infinitely redistributable, digital licenses of video games are refundable. Thanks Steam for my 100$ back.

    - poor performance
    - lack of destructibility
    - oddities with hit detection
    - crappy weapon balance (PP hits further and more accurately than assault rifles)
    - terrible map design with the need to run half a kilometer to the point every time after death
    - a small number of weapons (4 assault rifles, 3 sniper rifles and hi)
    - no voice chat
    - lack of custom servers
    - - MONSTROUS sound design (farting music at the beginning of the match and backing up at the final stage; it is impossible to focus on the sound, the game swallows many sounds of shots and footsteps)

    Did the developers even play what they did?
    TERRIBLE MENU.

    As for the advantages - here you can play remakes of maps from the old Battlefield with old weapons with old rules.

    Hazard Zone mode is such a thing.

    The amount of copium people be smoking in unreal. This game is a poor mans battlefield and how poorly opimised it is, is enough reason to give it a low score. Game feels like a step backwards in every way. At least bf5 ran well on launch despite other issues it had. Dont buy it simple as that.

    Unfinished game.
    Got a refund. Sad excuse for a battlefield game. Too much RNG. Bullets don’t hit what you aim at it’s up to RNG. No chat. No scoreboard. Specialist are awful. Weapon selection is awful. Awful awful overhyped game.

    This is unacceptable and has to stop! I just sign up for the Ea play for one month so I can try the game, but man, if you paid full price get your money back asap! This thing is a dumper fire.
    Oh, I forgot to mention server issues, so many server issues, unable to connect, unable to start a match. On top of that portal really looked promising, until EA and Dice decided to kill the xp in it, so now you don't get xp while playing portal and it is completely useless! You only have conquest and breakthrough, intel gathering whatever.... that's it! 7 naps and thrre modes. This should be $30 at best. Don't waste your time or money.

    Battlefield 2042 was revealed to the world in form of a bombastic trailer that got everybody and their loved ones hyped up to no end, until the absolute **** disaster that the Open Beta dropped.

    "Calm down dude, it's only a 3 month old build, the final release will be MUCH better and more polished", the people defending this inexcusable garbage said. So how did this excuse hold up? ABSOLUTE ****

    This game does NOT feel like Battlefield but rather a bastardized mutant stitched together out of Call of Duty, Apex and a few aspects of Battlefield. Let me remind you this game was supposed to copy MW 2019 and was not even intended to be a proper Battlefield from the get-go.

    Furthermore this abomination disguised as a final release lacks BASIC features in any FPS like a **** scoreboard (not a joke), voice chat, all chat (dice doesn't want your feelings hurt in a game made for adult didn't you know?) not to mention the UI/UX is downright atrocious, the movement is a straight downgrade feeling incredibly janky and floaty (BF5 had amazing movement in contrast), it launches with 22 (YES TWENTY TWO) guns total including FOUR assault rifles and the game also lacks a server browser for the sake of implementing SBMM to continuously sell the whales skins.

    Let me remind you that this game has had 3 years of development time, 4 studios working it, Battlefield 5 and Battlefront 2 died for this atrocity, looks worse than Battlefield 1 which released 5 years ago (which btw had less devs working on it than this) and a delay for the cherry on top. Not to mention the abomination that is the specialist system which throws the beloved and iconic class system straight out of the window in order to yet again sell more skins ($$$ is a constant here).

    Did I also mention this game is optimized like total **** to the point where people with 3090s cant even get more than 100fps at 1440p?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Been playing BF since BF3, and I was hoping BF2042 would be similar in its creative direction, and bring back the nostalgia from the good old days. I couldn't have been more wrong. Instead of listening to the community, who pretty much all wanted a bf3 style game, EA went the "screw you we will do what we want" route and now everyone is looking at them the same way they did when Bfv came out. Imagine BF4 had a child with Titanfall and CoD MW2019 and thats BF2042. It is so obvious to me that EA and DICE have shifted their focus to money and marketing rather than the game itself. Cosmetic skins, specialists, a very similar movement systen to CoD, it doesnt feel like BF at all. Don't waste your money until EA and DICE sort this **** game out. Did I mention it runs like ass on anything reasonably priced? Unless you have the most recent generation graphics cards good luck getting anything over 40fps...and dont even get me started on consoles. DO NOT BUY IT YOU ARE JUST FUELLING THEM TO KEEP MAKING BAD DECISIONS LIKE THIS. Expand

    No proper scoreboard and forcing me to see the most ambiguous player highlights at the end of a match (most assisted kills as a passenger? most hipfire kiils?? who cares about that stuff???) Then you got an always on profanity filter on chat whilst your "specialists" scream and swear every 2 seconds on the battlefield. Oh and you wanna play with more than 3 friends? Tough luck!

I found the maps to be a simple open box with a lack of interesting terrain that they have over-hyped. It feels empty despite the introduction of weather changing the map and such. I think the major reason to this is due to non-complex yet detailed graphics. Once again, even the buildings you enter are just obstacles rather than something you can use to your advantage. Guns are meh… everyone has talked about it already and therefore my points would be irrelevant. What I do truly miss from this game is the ability to be strategic about all gunfights. This just seems like everyone is going in guns blazing. It feels so reckless in gameplay and operators also have a competitive advantage over others too. Expand

I never pre order games though as it is pointless and played the free beta. I wanted to like it so much but it was so buggy on Xbox Series X that it was unplayable. With only a few guns to play with, 1 map and mode, and seeing the same two characters over 100 times got old real quick. I believe they built specialists around hazard mode and I think they work well with it but adding them to the core game was a big mistake. With there only being like 11 specialists at launch and not enough added later and mostly everyone playing the same 3-4 specialists, it won't feel like battlefield. Your meant to feel like a faceless solider that can die and not have massive importance. Not every single game needs to make you feel like the hero of the movie or game. Now on to the release or what they call early access  but is still the full game. Again I don't pre order AAA games nor buy day one, pointless. I have the game pass which includes EA Access and allowed me to play 2042 for 9 hours. Within those 9 hours I can paraphrase the rest of the review by saying it sucks and don't buy until a deep sale 6 months later. Now don't get me wrong there's a Very good foundation here. You have the good ole Battlefield engine, the movements of the character feels good along with core gunplay when it works. That's it though. First and foremost there's no campaign, which automatically should of lowered the price of the game not raised it 10 dollars on console  for "next gen", Which is a scam. With no campaign, there should have been more time to add more content to multiplayer and its just not there at all. The thing that worries me most is that BF5 was a "Woke Failure from the start and almost no content added later. Bf 2042 gives you 22 Weapons in total with a handful more dedicated to portal mode, worse then any recent battlefield or call of duty. The few guns you do get come with a very small handful of skins that are very simple bland ones. The vehicles in this game feel cheap and blocky too. You get a few Massive but empty maps without much detail although pretty graphics at times, Two main modes, conquest and Breakthrough. It seems like battlefield strips away more and more modes every game. The performance is not there on new consoles and even worse on pc. Personally I dip below 50fps on Series X all the time. Next you have hazard mode which is like Battle Royale and a very simple version of escape from Tarkov. I thinks there's only map, that's all I got and it gets boring quick. Now the bread and butter and our potential savior is portal. A mode that for now combines Bf 1942 with bad company 2 and bf3 allows you to play 2 maps from each game along with a couple weapons and vehicles from them and a dedicated mode in each game that has potential. Seeing this mode makes me think they should of just remastered some old bf games and put them together in a bundle instead. If they add a lot more maps and guns to these games and even more games to the mode, there is something here. Like I said before I am very worried about post launch content. Even with portal though, you still have a buggy ugly glitchy ui. No scoreboard along with other features missing and poor button mapping. A small but necessary annoyance, on xbox you cannot disable crossplay within the game. You must go to xbox settings and disable crossplay which turns it off for every game which is annoying because I play a lot of co op games and like crossplay. On fps games I do not though with pc players. To wrap it up, there are a lot of bugs in this game but can be ironed out, a good foundation, and a potentially very good portal mode thats worth paying $70 alone in the future. Other then that there are way too many issues and missing content in the game and not worth the money nor time. Absolutely wait for a sale and months for issues to be fixed. 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.

    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.
