    battlefield is no more.
    It used to be a team focused game where any individual could make a difference.
    Now it's just...a mess, with no scoreboard.

    What a pitiful pitiful at a video game. Say what you want about it not being battlefield when its not even a functioning video game. $120 AUD for this steaming hot pile of what my dog eats. Someone's child grew up, completed school and learnt hundreds of hours of programming to come out with this piece of work.

    Absolute joke of software that is no longer on my computer.

    Game is in a complete disarray and is embarrassingly bad A list of issues with Battlefield 2042 and what needs to be changed / fixed.

    **1) No Scoreboard** - No scoreboard means you can't tell who's hacking, can't tell if the teams are balanced, can't see how many bots there are in your lobby, can't see everyone's ranks/levels, can't see everyone's stats and comparing yourself and your    Game is in a complete disarray and is embarrassingly bad A list of issues with Battlefield 2042 and what needs to be changed / fixed.

    **1) No Scoreboard** - No scoreboard means you can't tell who's hacking, can't tell if the teams are balanced, can't see how many bots there are in your lobby, can't see everyone's ranks/levels, can't see everyone's stats and comparing yourself and your squad to everyone else, can't see latency of everyone in the match, can't see overall score, and can't see how many different classes are being played. The players have everything to lose when there is no scoreboard, yet EA/DICE have everything to gain. If you care about your community and respect us as dedicated fans of this series, you will bring back at least this one feature.

    **2) No scoring system** - We've had a scoring system in Battlefield for many years now, yet such a system does not exist in BF2042. Shooting at enemy players does not rack up any score points, throwing ammo/meds or doing repairs doesn't rack up score points. Capturing objectives, playing as a squad, marking objectives, spotting enemies, etc, all of these do not rack up any score. All we get now is a basic XP system that cannot be shown or displayed to anyone. You cannot compare your score with people on your own team, let alone the enemy team. The removal of the scoring system plus the removal of the scoreboard both contribute to the lack of competitiveness that the franchise has been known for. Remember the days where you were at the top of the scoreboard with 0 kills but the most revives/heals? Say goodbye to that.

    **3) No stats page** - So we have no scoreboard, no scoring system, and also...no stats page. We cannot even see our own progression and stats in the game. Remember the Battlelog days where we can see so many detailed stats and also compare with other users? Well we hit rock bottom.

    **4) No server browser** - When you thought it couldn't get even worse, it just did. BF2042 has no server browser, you matchmake like you do in Call of Duty. We cannot manually select/search for games, we have to just use the matchmaking system that does the search for us. This is taking power away from players for no good reason. This opens the door for SBMM/EOMM becoming a thing which is a major red flag. It gets worse.

    **5) Players do not carry over to next match, lobby disbands** - Out of all the things EA/DICE could take from Modern Warfare, they took one of the worst things ever introduced, which was lobby disbandment. When a match is over, everyone is thrown back to the main menu, you get no chance to rematch the players you just played with. The older CoD and BF games all kept the same players for the next map, meaning you could play with the same players match after match. You cannot do that anymore as the system now forces everyone to disband immediately after the post-match screen. Needless to say, but this kills what little sense of community this game had left. Well done.

    **6) No real class system** - People confuse this issue with the specialist system when these are two separate issues. You can have specialists while also having a class system. The issue with BF2042 is that every specialist can use every weapon, every grenade/gadget, and every tool, with the only difference being the skin of your specialist and their special gadget/ability. Having no class system means it will be much harder to balance out your weapons, because now every single AR has to compete with every SMG, which has to compete with every LMG, which has to compete with every Sniper/Shotgun, and so on. The lack of class system means that a stricter meta will form compared to previous BF games where you still had more diversity of weapon and gadget use because you had to sacrifice something if you wanted something else. For example, in BC2/BF3/BF4, if you are running an AR, you can't use an RPG, if you wanted one, you had to sacrifice the other. This is called balance because you are balancing out who gets what. All a class system is is a package of things you get. DICE could have easily made specialists be a part of a class or "package", so certain specialists within a certain class can only use certain weapons and gadgets/utility. This would have been the correct way to go for BF2042 and a fair compromise.

    Terrible, just terrible. This game has no soul. No fun. It is just a poor attempt to grab consumer money and provide nothing in return. What a shame for Battlefield franchise. I mean how is this even possible to release in such a sorry state? Nothing works. No concept. And this in turn creates disfunctional game experience.

    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?    … Expand

Not to mention the overwhelming number of glitches and bugs. I had to reset my game after every match to enter a new server! Terrible map design that makes it compulsory to use a vehicle or a sniper due to vast spaces. I end up running 70% of the game and then dying because I can't tell where I am being shot from. The concept of "all-out warfare" was executed poorly. I don't want a game where there are too many players concentrated around a few objectives. The only good thing I can mention is that I was blessed with the opportunity to try the game for 10 hours before buying through the Xbox Game Pass for PC.

    "Disappointment" is the best one word description of Battlefield 2042.

    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 -    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.

This game is battlefield in name only. It won’t be long before the micro transactions arrive, that’s the only reason specialists have been introduced. All the other reviews have basically summed up the technical issues wrong with the game, but by far the most egregious is stripping it to the bones to sell to us later. The core elements of the gameplay have been so horribly designed I don’t think this is fixable via patches, Do Not Buy this garbage. Maybe DICE will get it together on the next one.… Expand

    **** game, honestly. Sure there are a ton bugs and features are missing right, that's horrible, but I am literally unable to play the game. if i get the bug where your teammates see you as an enemy, and then you die, you just lie there on the ground for whole game- no one can revive you, you cant respawn. Horrible and unplayable at that.

    -Разрушений стало меньше, чем в прошлых частях БФ
    -Стрельба стала слишком сложной для казуального шутера (которым и является БФ), сравнима с побегом из Таркова. А огромные и пустые карты только услажняют её.
    -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.

If anyone says the game is good to you don't believe them they probably sit in either a tank or helicopter is there any point in an rpg or anti craft rpg they deal next to no damage. I loved the Battlefield franchise until this game came out very buggy and unfinished. There is only a few maps which are just utter chaos people show up from everywhere and with broken footsteps you will never know where they are and are heavily relying on the hit markers on yours screen. I'm glad I am not purchasing this. How can a company scrap a campaign and grand operations 2 major things in the Battlefield franchise and somehow still not have this game finished with bugs everywhere, mass server issues they have scrapped 2 major things to focus on a multiplayer game which is still being charger full price for. They are paying streamers probably a lot of money to play the game and they are saying it is amazing with few flaws all because they are being paid good money hell if they paid me a big amount of money I'd probably give it a 10 just because I'm being paid a lot of money. Shame on the streamers who are saying this game is amazing even though it definitely is not amazing and far from what it could be.

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

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

    By far the worst game I've ever played in my life. Instead of 2 steps forward this game takes 200 steps backwards.
    The UI/UX makes me wanna kms,
    No descrution.
    No classes.
    Everyone and there mom carries rocket launchers
    No stats
    No server browser.
    Need a refund

    We just needed BFV in a modern warfare setting. Not this mess. Doesn't feel like battlefield at all, they were far too heavily influenced by CoD. It's a silly, cartoonish, buggy mess. The specialists are the worst idea they have ever had. They have no soul, no charisma and are super cringe.   Just add the specialist's abilities as traits like in Bf4... Wost of all at the maps though.We just needed BFV in a modern warfare setting. Not this mess. Doesn't feel like battlefield at all, they were far too heavily influenced by CoD.

    They could have just rehashed BC2 or BF4 with 2042 tech/vehicles/ui, and added new modes (akin to a Warzone, or Team tactical). At least go back to the Kits (Recon, Medic, etc) to make it more squad based than BF5 was, and stop trying to copy weaker games. They had the secret sauce, all they needed to do was improve on what the community loved and it would have been a masterpiece. Nobody asked for flashy weather effects that don't add a sense of danger or impact. The soundtrack is a train wreck. The final moments of a game, when the audio would intensify with the BF Theme? It's been replaced by a static garbled sounding cat in a washing machine sound. It's like we're being trolled.

    The lack of destruction is staggering, and it especially stands out when you go back to the older games in Portal. It's just a sad state of game. I'm happy I'm playing the 10hr trial via EA and didn't pay for it, because I'd be livid. It's disheartening to see another AAA series try to change with the times, only to fall flat. You already had what we wanted, and you tossed it in the trash.    … Expand

    The first, first person shooter I've played where the actual shooting is nearly impossible. Sniper bullet drop feels like you're throwing a baseball. Bullets don't go where you shoot.
    I thought maybe I was just bad at the game and then played Halo Infinite and was actually having bullets connect.

    Portal is the only sort of relevant thing. It BARELY has any content though.

    This is the last company that needs your money. Some of the developers would rather sweep your criticism under the rug or just have it lost under the EA forums that they don’t even actively participate in.

    The UI is horrible. It’s very unintuitive, it’s not user friendly and sometimes you can’t even tell what you enabled or disabled. Attachments are also locked behind 10 different clicks of the ugly UI

    Gunplay feels wrong and sloppy
    It gives no confidence when shooting
    Sometimes it feels like RNG gunfighting

    Very gimmicky outplayed ‘Hero’ system.
    No one asked for this. DICE/EA are wanting to throw a lot on their audience while simultaneously taking away basic things from previous games. They do not deserve your money.
    Even Warzone plays better. Get Squad, Insurgency, Zero Hour, CoD, **** you’ll have a better time in Minecraft guaranteed. At least with Minecraft you know it’ll actually launch    … 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.

    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.
