    Le potentiel pour un bon jeu était présent, il s'appelait BFV. Il suffisait de mettre des skins modernes à ce jeu, y ajouter quelques features et voila. Pas vouloir réinventer ce qui faisait Battlefield.

    After playing for 5 hours, I couldn't help but wonder if Battlefield was always this terrible. I went back to Battlefield 1, and the answer was clearly no.

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. Refrain from wasting your money on this piece of unfinished garbage.… Expand

    Not a real BF, is missing all the heart and soul, feels more like a monster of combined dead parts that no one asked for, and lacks any of the passion that previous iterations had poured into them. RIP Battlefield, from 1942/Desert Combat/BF2, to this mockery of a FPS that can’t do anything right, and won’t give the fans any of what they need.

    After the launch of BFV I was resolved not to buy another BF game at release. Instead I got a 10h trial with the Xbox Game Pass to check it out and boy am I glad I did.

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

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

    A lot of other user reviews hit the nail on the head for the list of features that are either missing or messed up so I don't even feel like I need to list them. Just know that they are accurate lol.

    I've had a few fun rounds if I stick to sniping or using vehicles to get kills so i'll give it a 2 but this game needs a TON of work.

    It's also insanely upsetting to see the critic reviews giving this game high marks. Companies paying reviewers for high marks just to get sales makes me want to throw up. I know its just the way things work these days but if they give up on this game and don't fix the issues I'll never buy another BF.    … Expand

    - Пуля летит чётко в голову модели противника. Трассер входит в голову – через 0,5 секунд – противник, как стоял, так и стоит, но ещё через ещё 0,5 секунд – противник уже в 10 метрах от трассера… и так очень часто (постоянно).

    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.

    Audio is poorly mixed

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

    I just finished up the 10 hour trial and my complaints are in line with what everyone is saying. The fact that they've released the game in this state just boggles my mind, and what's more is that the dev's are doubling down that nothing is wrong or the changes they've made is better for the game is idiotic.

    -No ability to pick your squad: staple for years and suddenly it's removed,    I just finished up the 10 hour trial and my complaints are in line with what everyone is saying. The fact that they've released the game in this state just boggles my mind, and what's more is that the dev's are doubling down that nothing is wrong or the changes they've made is better for the game is idiotic.

    -No ability to pick your squad: staple for years and suddenly it's removed, why what does it enhance about the experience?

    -No voice comm's: In a teamwork oriented game they removed the ability to talk to your teammates to coordinate. I had to type in chat to my tank driver that he had a hostile tank in front of him by the time I was able to finish we already had around into our vehicle.

    No scoreboard: why would you want to be able to see how you're doing in relation to everyone else, that's only been a feature of every FPS forever.

    Weapon bloom: I remember a reviewer once said that gunplay in an FPS is the central pillar of the game since that is how you interact with the media. DICE has completely dropped the ball on this, the spread is ridiculous and takes out any skill gap that should exist in the gunfights. Now getting into a fight with someone is just a random number generator.
    --Weapon bloom 2.0: in portal mode there is a bug with Bad Company 2 that when exiting sprint it retains your hipfire spread when you ADS. The Dev's continue to stubbornly hold their ground saying this existed in OG Bad Company 2 despite numerous videos to the contrary.

    -Portal server search: there is no way to filter out what game modes you want to play outside of a "keyword" search" , not that it matters because the custom game modes are overrun with bot farms or heavily skewed rules that restrict one side to bolt actions only while the opposing teams to whatever they want. DICE needs to find a way to let players narrow down the framework of their search results based on various criteria.

    -Portal Server part 2: There needs to be official servers for other game modes like TDM or Squad Deathmatch.

    -General lack of features. The weapons released for this first person SHOOTER are very few. Only a couple maps when they had upwards of 20 to choose (copy) from Battlefield 3 alone. The game experience is very shallow and not worth the price of admission at this time.

    That is just off the top of my head there is more when it comes to balance issues and the like and I'm sure others can articulate it better than me, but it boils down to this, skip this game for now. It is not worth your $60 (or up) in this current state. If you still are on the fence I implore you to get XBox live or a one month EA play subscription and try it for the 10 hour trial before you buy it so you don't waste your money.    … Expand

    Fan of the series, started playing BF1942 as a kid and sunk thousands of hours into every subsequent game until BF1. I still jump into BF4 from time to time but have moved on to play a lot more survival focused games like Dayz and Tarkov.

    I was looking forward to playing 2042 a great deal as I’d missed the previous two instalments as I wasn’t looking for a historical experience. I preferred the BF4 arsenal, weapon modifications and progression that came with it. I was also looking forward to having a more casual shooter to jump into.

    I pre-ordered the gold edition and played the open beta. Refunded now.

    2042 feels like multiple game studios were working on multiple games within the same engine and tried to cobble them together with very little time or thought about synergy. It feels like the starting point was “How can we make battlefield appeal to BR and survival trends” rather than “how can we improve and innovate the battlefield experience”. The game is riddled with technical and design issues as a result of trying to appeal to too many audiences. Some can be band aided but a lot of them are deep rooted into the game which would require an enormous amount of work and balls on EA/DICE’s part to fix which I just don’t think we will see. DICE used to set the trends with Battlefield and this is what I was hoping for. A Battlefield game that new its strengths and built on them further for the next generation of hardware.

    Ultimately the game lacks passion and soul, like it was built exclusively to try and compete for current trends but as always EA/DICE were late to the party and executed their strategy poorly leaving a lack luster product that is an okay experience at best.

    Highlights:

    1) Menu and UI is frustrating at best, infuriating at worst.
    2) Weapons and customisation is barebones. Step backwards from previous titles
    3) Weapons and customisation offer no real gameplay changes or value.
    4) Weapons feel terrible to shoot due to weapon spread
    5) Animations often feel cheap and whacky like a F2P BR game
    6) Specialists were clearly built for hazard zone and band aided into all out war creating a poor and unimmersive experience
    7) Specialists are goofy, cheesy and cheapen the whole experience with tacky one liners
    8) Graphics, especially the maps just feel like a step backwards
    9) Performance on a 3070 / i9900k was inconsistent, barely hitting around 60-70 fps
    10) Tons of UI elements missing like score boards, squad changing, server browser
    11) Spend more time in menus watching cheesy tacky animations whilst waiting to get in games
    12) Portal was sold as the saving grace but ultimately falls flat due to lack of customisation and bare content

    If you’re a fan of the battlefield formula then I cannot recommend this title at release. A huge disappointment.    … Expand

They cut out all the game modes but conquest and breakthrough and made the maps HUGE. Which resulted in endless running from one objective to another only to get sniped in conquest and 64 vs 64 battles in one little sector in Breakthrough. This is not a BF game, this is garbage. And don't get me starting on the UI and the lack of scoreboard "to make new players feel comfortable" bs. Oh yeah, they copied the specialist system from cod, yeah, but they missed the fact that each faction in game had different specialists, because it's STUPID to kill operator named BORIS only to get revived by the Boris fighting on your side.
    PLUS. I can't mention the optimization of the game, even though it was the thing for DICE since BF3 I think. You can't get above 50 fps on 3700x and 2060 super on any settings in 1080p.

    It's sad to see my favorite franchise turning into whatever BF2042 is. So many gameplay changes that were obviously made just for cosmetic-selling reasons or to appeal to audiences other than the Battlefield community.

    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

    Worst battlefield launch in the history of the franchise.

    I would give it a 1 just for the graphics. Main problems: 1. Insanely clunky UI - the social tab, the T menu - don't get me started. 2. Performance - playing with 5900x and 3080 GPU i have inconsistent frame rates, some hard drops during firing that make it really hard to hit. 3. Attack of the clones - everyone is the    Worst battlefield launch in the history of the franchise.

    I would give it a 1 just for the graphics.

    Main problems:

    1. Insanely clunky UI - the social tab, the T menu - don't get me started.
    2. Performance - playing with 5900x and 3080 GPU i have inconsistent frame rates, some hard drops during firing that make it really hard to hit.
    3. Attack of the clones - everyone is the same character and its hard to tell teams
    4. Portal - I was counting on this mode being the saving grace for this game but sadly, it inherits many bugs from the core game - such as weird bloom in gunplay, super clunky UI etc.
    5. Portal doesn't have any progression - so the very limited selection of guns is already unlocked at start with all their attachments.
    6. Portal progression seems to affect the main level - but it was immediately nerfed after launch since DICE can't be bothered to QA the game to find exploits pre launch.
    7. Impossible to join friends on the main game modes - i tried several times - the result is that I get queue for the server, when it finishes it says party leader selecting mode and goes back to main menu.
    8. Impossible to join more than 3 friends - currently its only possible to join 3 friends (even though it doesn't work for me at all), so if your clan has 5 or more tough luck - you will play on different servers.
    9. No scoreboard - kind of kills a lot of the gameplay satisfaction.
    10. Sound is terrible - something that for me was a staple of battlefield games is just horrible, its super silent although things are going on around you, and footsteps sound like they are on top of you even though they can be many meters away.
    11. Maps - there is much less detail in the new maps - very little unique stuff, usually large empty areas and some copy pasted empty buildings around objectives.
    None of the new objectives seem to create memorable or interesting combat loops, unlike most maps in BF4.
    Seems to me they were created in a hurry without passion or much thought.
    12. Specialists gameplay - once most people reached around level 25 you start seeing the asian chick with the scan wallhack ability all the time - this kills any tactical gameplay.
    Other operators are quite bland, most people below 25 will play Falck for self healing and nice XP farm for revives- can be bundled with ammo pack for maximum farm.
    13. No squad menu - cant swap squads in game - cant reassign leader etc. - kinda kills the experience as you get randomly assigned to a squad at the start of the map - add to that that after every match the previous squad gets replaced so it is always a coin toss.
    14. Guns - they seem really inconsistent - there is some weird bloom going on - sometimes the guns are laser accurate and sometimes they are not, can't say if its a bug or not, add to that the net code is quite crappy so its very hard to hit people at range.
    15. Snipers - since there isn't a real penalty for recon kit - as you can take any gun with any gadgets there are loads of snipers and marksman everywhere, consider that as I said most maps are large and empty aside from some buildings at objectives this makes it sniper heaven.
    16. No server browser or private servers - technically there is 1 for portal but not for the main game, this was a staple of battlefield because you would find a nice server you liked and keep returning to it everyday and get to know the admins and players - form a small community.
    17. No all chat - this game tries to cater to snowflakes, I suspect that the similarly to YouTube removing dislikes, DICE removed all chat and scoreboard to avoid people getting their feeling hurts.

    Almost everywhere I look there is a big issue or step backwards.

    As a fan of the franchise that owns all BF games I'm sorely disappointed and feel cheated for buying this game - especcially at a premium to get early access.

    If the rumors are true and there is indeed a day 1 patch that will release at the end of early access it would be doubly disappointing.

    I expect that EA DICE if they have any honor left for their customers - will offer some compensations for those that payed premiums for this Alpha/Beta build and can no longer refund it.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

    1) Poor registration of hits, I didn't really understand how to shoot in this game, perhaps there is an element of randomness in the shooting.
    2) There is no server list, you are forced to play on the maps on which you were thrown. In portal you can join an almost finished game, and in the main all-out warfare mode you sometimes wait for the server to fill up.

    3) There is no table to view the kills / deaths / ping of other players, at best you can calculate your KD (you can see the kills / help / captures of the players of your squad, or the general statistics of another squad, i.e. competitiveness is removed).
    4) I am glad that in all modes there is a store tab, otherwise I was afraid not to find it (just kidding).
    5) Huge TTK, it is impossible to shoot two people, they overwhelm the mass.
    6) Too long pumping, you need to kill 360 people in order to open all the modules for weapons, moreover, it became more difficult to kill people due to the large mode, earlier it was possible to fill in the superiority and clash of teams. The task for the skill skin (red-black skin) is unrealistic, you need to kill 1200 people with grenades or treat 2400 people with a Falki pistol.
    7) Huge maps, you need to run 1 km to get to another point (in the next sector)
    8) There is no pumping on the servers in the portal, the level is pumped only in the recommended section.
    1) Плохая регистрация попаданий, не особо понял, как стрелять в этой игре, возможно в стрельбе присутствует элемент случайности.
    2) Нет списка серверов, ты вынужден играть на картах, на которые тебя закинули. В portal можешь присоединиться к почти законченной игре, а в основном режиме all-out warfare иногда ждешь, когда заполнится сервер.
    3) Нет таблицы чтобы посмотреть убийства/смерти/пинг других игроков, в лучшем случае можешь посчитать свое KD (можно посмотреть убийства/помощи/захваты игроков своего отряда, либо общую статистику другого отряда, т.е. убрана соревновательность).
    4) Радует, что во всех режимах есть вкладка магазин, а то боялся не найти (шутка).
    5) Огромный TTK, невозможно перестрелять двух человек, они перелавливают массой.
    6) Слишком долгая прокачка, нужно убить 360 человек, чтобы отрыть все модули на оружие, притом убивать людей стало сложнее из-за большого режима, раньше можно было набить в превосходстве и схватке команд. Задание на скин мастерства (красно-черный скин) выполнить нереально, нужно убить 1200 человек с гранат или полечить 2400 человек с пистолета Фальки.
    7) Огромные карты, нужно бежать 1 км, чтобы добраться до другой точки (в следующем секторе)

    Очень добротный Battlefield?
    Да, именно так, несмотря на странную оценку пользователей.
    Хорошее развитие серии, в котором есть контент для любителей любого Battlefied, для вечно ноющих что раньше было лучше portal, hazard zon как напряженное и динамичное сессионное развлечение в силу низкого ттк и постоянного сражения с врагами, All-out-warfare как развитие идей battlefield. К    Очень добротный Battlefield?
    Да, именно так, несмотря на странную оценку пользователей.
    Хорошее развитие серии, в котором есть контент для любителей любого Battlefied, для вечно ноющих что раньше было лучше portal, hazard zon как напряженное и динамичное сессионное развлечение в силу низкого ттк и постоянного сражения с врагами, All-out-warfare как развитие идей battlefield.

    К стрельбе были претензии в бете, из за низкой отдачи, отдачу поправили теперь.

    Ощущение и передвижение персонажа очень походит на warzone(modern warfare(2019)), не думаю что это большая проблема, для современного милитари шутера это скорее плюс, ибо позаимствована она довольно хорошо.

    Войс-чата нет, хотя разработчики уже написали что он выйдет в ближайших обновлениях.

    Браузер серверов со всем контентом уехал в портал, он никуда не пропал как пишут некоторые пользователи.

    Баги так или иначе пофиксят, они слишком много денег ввалили в эту игру-сервис. Оптимизацию так же подвезут по той-же, на мой взгляд причине.

    Контент наверняка будет завезен с 1м сезоном.

    Как мне кажется это очень удачное продолжение battlefield, возможно в последствии hazard-zone станет бесплатным, добавят скины, батлпасы, контента накинут, ивенты завезут.
    Из этого Battlefield EA будут очень долго качать деньги, по модели проверенной warzone.

    Мои личные ощущения на 9 из 10, эта игра явно не хуже 6 из 10 все что ниже 6 это нытье ради нытья... как мне кажется.

    A very solid Battlefield?
    Yes, that's right, despite the strange user assessment.
    A good development of the series, in which there is content for fans of any Battlefied, for always whining what used to be better portal, hazard zon as a tense and dynamic session entertainment due to low ttk and constant battle with enemies, All-out-warfare as a development of battlefield ideas.

    There were complaints about shooting in beta, due to low recoil, recoil has now been corrected.

    The feeling and movement of the character is very similar to warzone (modern warfare (2019)), I don't think this is a big problem, for a modern military shooter it is rather a plus, because it is borrowed quite well.

    There is no voice chat, although the developers have already written that it will be released in the next updates.

    The server browser with all the content went to the portal, it did not disappear anywhere, as some users write.

    Bugs will be fixed one way or another, they have poured too much money into this game-service. Optimization will also be brought up for the same reason, in my opinion.

    The content will probably be delivered with the 1st season.

    It seems to me that this is a very successful continuation of the battlefield, perhaps later the hazard-zone will become free, they will add skins, battle passes, content will be thrown, events will be delivered.
    From this Battlefield EA will be pumping money for a very long time, according to the model of the proven warzone    … Expand

    If you make it this far... then congratulations, you can now play the half finished buggy mess - unless it puts you in a match on the "Victory/Defeat" screen, which happens way to often - then... rinse and repeat.

    This is so bad - and that's the process you go through before you even get to the game breaking bugs.

    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.
