    Trash... doesn't feel like any other battlefield. no more classes just loadouts they give you some premade loadouts names like the old classes but doesn't matter cause their is none. anyone can use any gun, grenade, support option so unlike before there's no point sticking with one class to get the best items cause cause you unlock them all as you play however.

Now we get these operators that all have some silly special which I admit some are kind of cool while other almost feel like cheating. The guns are very limited and most feel like your running around with a super soaker everyone has a rocket launcher cause again no classes just let everyone use everything.

    Theirs no teamwork cause the only way to communicate is typing in chat and most people only use chat to **** about how bad the game is and ask why is the game lagging? why cant I look around or move? You cant switch to different squad to play with people who actually PTFO.

    Portal was ok kinda cool to see old maps and play them again with "better" graphics.

    Hazard zone is horrid unless you have some friends who want to waste $80 to be unhappy at the same time. Most people who are giving good reviews are shills who don't want to say anything bad about Papa EA don't let them fool you at this moment game is broken from server connection issues to the worse hitboxes in any AAA game. hopefully this hot mess gets fixed.    … Expand

    Game crashes, server join errors, class interface glitches out can’t swap character or weapons.

    Hazard zone is terrible.

    Conquest feels like there is 0 team work and communications.

    The guns spray patterns are all over the place.

    They can fix this but it’s going to take a monumental effort.

    There’s a diamond hidden inside this hunk of ****

    Releasing unfinished games needs to stop. Also if you are expecting on par game with other battlefield games this isn't it. Its a lazy attempt to become like cod/apex.

    This has nothing to do with Battlefield.

    No scoreboards.
    No classes.
    No destruction.
    No servers.
    No stats.
    No chat.
    The weapons omg. There are literally only 4 ARs. Wtf is this?
    It tries to be a mix of Warzone, Fortnite, R6 Siege, Apex and so on.

    The cringe after game lines.

    This is an unfinished, unpolished and broken game.
    Do not buy this until everything is fixed!

    The worst Battlefield yet. I thought 5 was a let down, but this is beyond disappointing. Good luck getting any kills with the shot registration being the worst of any game I’ve ever played. Garbage lobby disbandment. Classes are trash. Customization is trash. Weapon choice is minimal. The specialists feel like I’m playing Apex. Just awful. I’d rather go outside and swing by my neck.

    I've been playing 2042 since the open.
    However, there are so many problems, and the promises made by the company are blocked right away, giving users a strange experience of taking back what they gave them.

    I don't understand.
    Why can't I just do this...
    I don't understand why you can't make it like this when you think it's really normal and you just have to reflect what users want.

    Worst launch I have ever experienced in 25 years of gaming. Missing 30+ staple features from the franchise and FPS genre itself. Bugs, glitches, server problems, poor performance, terrible optimisation. Everything you have read on the Reddit sub is correct and if anything is quite polite compared to the hot steaming pile of **** that is known as Bf2042.

I wouldn't recommend this game even to my enemy. It's terrible. I played every BF game since 1942, there were bad launches. But this, this is something else this is the end of BF franchise.… Expand

    This review has absolutely nothing to do with the plethora of bugs and server issues this game has. Bugs are easily fixed. Gameplay can be balanced. These things can be fixed over time. I don't even mind the bugs its whatever. The lack of content ok but it can be added. Scoreboard easy fix. Although disappointing all of these problems can be fixed. What can't be fixed is the game itself.

    This is what really pisses me off. It feels like corporate tried to push a game like apex or warzone or some other popular game. it has the feel of this other game that slips my mind but I'm sure lots of other feel the same way. The vibe is completely disconnected from previous battlefield titles.

    This game has completely lost all of its grit the one thing in my opinion that made battlefield so awesome. Without this grit its not exciting at all the other games it tries to mimic are just better.

    Audio - I have no idea what is going on with the audio, all of it. The music does not give you a sense of urgency like near the ends of the matches in BF1.

    Specialists - Again nobody asked for or wanted this junk. They all look like snowflakes. Not somebody you'd find in a warzone you can't sell that. The quips that these specialist say made me turn that audio off it kills the vibe. The most cringe I've ever heard. Its like some progressive liberal genz's got hired by EA and were in charge of character design.

    Graphics / textures - This is the last nail in the coffin for me. Absolutely horrendous. Complete lack of detail. The game feels like a shell. In fact I think this is what gives the game a vibe that's not battlefield it looks nothing like the other games intricate level of details. The feel is completely off. Yes maybe previous titles look more dated but they had textures years ahead of this game. Battlefield 1 and 5 look so cinematic and I played those on my PS4 not a $4000 dollar gaming computer on 2k monitors. Inexcusable. Something else that felt off was the sizing of the guns or something. I don't know how to describe it. It looks almost comical the bullets hanging off my LMG are huge. Plus the weapon design is awful they look like planetside guns. Finally, again with the character design the look like cartoon players I don't get it. The uniforms the intricate details realism thrown out the window. This is really what BF was loved for.

    Map Design - Not really a big deal if the graphics/textures were like the OG games. HOWEVER, hourglass needs to be removed lol no more words needed.

    HUD/menus - Awful design but can be reworked.

    Attachments - Reticles look like crap

    Vehicles - The hovercraft needs to be removed easily the stupidest vehicle in the game and they have that stupid tuk-tuk in kaleidoscope which makes me feel like I'm playing fortnite again. The jet design completely I loved flying jets in earlier battlefield games because the cockpit looked awesome. I understand F35's have a screen instead of analog controls but my god the representation of this is awful. The driving/flying mechanics feel off as well.
    Destruction - They neutered destruction BAD move. Destruction was so much fun in other games especially blowing craters in the ground for cover in BF1.

    There's so much more to be said but I'm approaching the wordcount so you get the idea.

    Final remarks EA robbed early access players plain and simple. There should be refunds or a class action lawsuit. This game is an empty shell.

    I'm curious if they added portal after finishing the main game because they knew how trash the game was. Or maybe its corporate trying to push a different game while giving incentive to keep its loyal fanbase interested.    … Expand

    After Battlefield V, my expectations were not high to begin with but Battlefield 2042 managed to disappoint even more than I had anticipated. I have been a fan of the series since Battlefield 1942 but whatever this is, it is not Battlefield.

    There are no classes, they have been removed in order to make "specialists" for monetization purposes. For those who have been around for a while,    After Battlefield V, my expectations were not high to begin with but Battlefield 2042 managed to disappoint even more than I had anticipated. I have been a fan of the series since Battlefield 1942 but whatever this is, it is not Battlefield.

    There are no classes, they have been removed in order to make "specialists" for monetization purposes. For those who have been around for a while, it is not news that the suits at EA have for a long while craved for the success that Activision has had with CoD and now Warzone and want to ape it in order to make a quick buck.

    The specialists also ruin any resemblance of team play that the older games had. Even 1942 had the ability to heal your buddies and it has been a core part of the series. Now you have no idea who can heal you and who can not and because there is not a proper medic class anymore, it seems that the ones who could revive or heal you are nowhere and you will never get revived in this game. The same goes for ammo.

    The gadgets are very unintuitive and apparently so poorly balanced that some of the specialists or their gadgets are disabled, making them either literally or practically unusable. I am having trouble using the gadgets because there do not seem to be any tutorials or intuitive ways that the game lets you know how you are supposed to use them.

    There are very few guns and the progression is extremely confusing. There are no scoreboards or stats in game so it is hard to know what you get to unlock and when, or what you have already unlocked. The menus altogether seem to be missing things like server browser and character or loadout customization, at least ones that would actually work.

    There is no single-player either. Not that it has ever been a strong suit for the series, but still. The destruction is also very limited, especially when compared to Battlefield 1. I have not had the performance issues that many here seem to report, but I do find the game graphically unimpressive, especially compared to the history of the series being so magnificent to look at. However, there are plenty of bugs and issues. For example, I was not able to switch to my sidearm at all in one match, even if I died. It only started working in another match.

    Luckily, I didn't spend money on this because I got the 10 hour free trial via Game Pass on PC. If you have the opportunity to try it, please do and see for yourself how bad it is. If you can't test it for free, do yourself a favor and skip this for good or at least only buy it if you can get it for 10€/$. We need to show those suits that this is not acceptable and the only thing they listen to is money. If they had listened to what people actually wanted, we would have a good game in our hands.    … Expand

    This game seems like Call of Duty rather than Battlefield. The most fun can be found on Portal playing Battlefield 3 maps, the tanks, helis and guns have the right feeling. There are cool items in the main game but I don't find it much fun, there is no team play and full of people shooting you in the back.. It is hard to get an armoured vehicle and progress to get upgrades.

    - Huge drop in frame rate from beta. Early Access BF2042 only uses ~60% of GPU and less cores of CPU than beta.

    - Lag makes game unplayable. Even on wired Ethernet of ~23ms, rubberbanding happens every single match.

    - No server browser for Dice servers. Cannot find best ping or desired maps. Can only select lowest ping of community maps, where XP doesn’t count due to bot farming lobbies being rampant.

    - Gameplay feels less like Battlefield and more like CoD. Just grab the SMG (PP-29) that has no recoil and shoots across the map. Throw some tac sprint in for good measure.

    - Hovercraft farms entire 2042 lobbies, climbs buildings, flies through the air and flips tanks. Hop in and rack up those points.

    - Still hard to identify enemy over friendly. Have easily mistaken enemy Mackay for the friendly Mackay nearby.

    Hopefully things will improve. At this point, game is hard to enjoy.    … Expand

    This might have "battlefield" in the title, but don't get tricked. This game is a sheer mess, and it continues to show that DICE simply don't understand what People want battlefield to be.

This game is a sheer mess, and it continues to show that DICE simply don't understand what People want battlefield to be.

    For one example of this, there's the balance of the "rock, paper, scissor" part of the games balancing. In bf 1 we saw a overcommitment to this idea, meaning most shootouts were decided before anyone fired a shot, simply based of the classes/weapons chosen and the given engagement range. Here in 2042, DICE have apparently decided that this type of balancing should instead just be entirely removed, as this is more or less the result since now any "class" can have any weapon (or more accurately, classes simply aren't a thing anymore) and more so, any weapon can now be modified on the fly to fit any range just when you need it. Sure this means no more "predestined" firefights, but it also completely removes the possibility for many thrilling situations. No longer will you be caught in the midst of the battle as a sniper, and feel the huge disadvantage that entails, making you sneakily try to get away while making every kill 10 more satisfying knowing they had the upper hand. No more will you be pined down by a sniper, while you carry a shotgun, and have to sneak from cover to cover while closing the distance before finally taking out the sniper. And I could go on. While being at an disadvantage can feel dispowering if the disadvantage is too great (how many felt in bf1) it can also be hugely impowering if done right. This balance might not be easy to hit, but bf4 did a very good job. Sure the assault rifles were overall hands down the best weapons, being too tier at both close to medium range. This however was pretty balanced out by the fact that medics had no single tool against vehicles, and would still lose in long range to importingly both snipers and DMRs. This meant that fx an engineer could deside whether he wanted to be able to challenge a medic at medium to long range (if he chose a DMR), or at close range (PDW, carbine or shotgun). Meaning that an engineer had to decide a what range he can effectively fight. Now while it was true that the medic had the advantage of being as effective as PDWs at close range, and until some point as effective at medium ranges as an DMR. The medic had to really worry about vehicles. So all in all they both had a comparably amount of situations where they were at the disadvantage. The important part here is recognizing where this balance lies. It's important that any build has the advantage in certain situations, and the disadvantage in others. However as the engineer class in bf4, you had the freedom to change which situations where which, without being able to make an all-rounder which could do it all. In 2042 you can not only have a DMR or assault rifle which can be fitted on the go to be perfectly capable at any given range (the second DMR even outclasses the sniper rifles at the longest ranges (-_-)) you can even combo this with an rocket launcher for vehicles no matter what weapon you pick. This is just an example of how DICE have completely screwed up the very fundamental ideas of how the games have been balanced out beautifully in past games, and this is of course in addition to all the more obvious "hands on" screw ups they have made this time. Conclusion? DICE don't know why Battlefield used to be great, probably making it very unlikely that they will turn this ship around. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.    … Expand

It is a major step back in destruction, ballistics, progression, customization, and gameplay mechanics. It had legs, but for some reason they cut them off at the knees. Large maps, high player count, and vehicle call ins are welcome additions. But those features do not carry a game that is fundamentally flawed. The lack of a server browser and hardcore mode are just the start. Add in the lack of weapon options (probably to sell you more later), redundant attachments that masquerade as progression unlocks, atrocious random bullet deviation, and discontinuation of the class system (the heart of the battlefield franchise). Portal mode is neat, but suffers many of the foundational mechanical issues as the base game. Additionally portal does not contain a complete catalog of assets from the games it represents, and the destruction is downgraded from the original to the reduced destruction of 2042.

    Hazard zone was supposed to be a shining light in this game. Its not. The gameplay is anemic, repetitive, and matches end quickly. The stakes are low, as well as the excitement. It honestly feels like the game was originally just going to be Hazard Zone and Portal, but at the last minute tried to make something analogous to a battlefield game. I do not recommend buying this game. It feels like it needs another couple years of development and a major overhaul.

    This review just covered the gameplay deficiencies. Keep in mind the bugs and server issues make it almost unplayable in the current state. It is reminiscent of fallout 72. The game in its current form, in my opinion, is an unethical sale in the sense it is a grossly unfinished game being sold under the misrepresentation it is a finished product.

    2042 is overwhelming. It throws so much information at you that it becomes incredibly challenging to make critical gameplay decisions (or any decisions) based on the information you have. It's like a visual and auditory sensory overload that tries it's best to let you know what the other 127 people on the server are up to at that moment in time. From the cluttered UI and HUD, to the2042 is overwhelming. It throws so much information at you that it becomes incredibly challenging to make critical gameplay decisions (or any decisions) based on the information you have. It's like a visual and auditory sensory overload that tries it's best to let you know what the other 127 people on the server are up to at that moment in time. From the cluttered UI and HUD, to the muffled audio and identity crisis, 2042 is confusing at best and downright overwhelming and frustrating at worst.

    The audio is overwhelming. There is something fundamentally broken and flat with the audio mix. There is no balance between critical gameplay information and immersion. It all blends together with no dynamics as if all sounds are played at the same volume. I cannot discern the sounds of my 30 teammates stomping around from the sound of a squad of enemies approaching. It's like trying to listen out for footsteps while wearing ear defenders, everything sounds muffled and dull. Trying to isolate the gameplay information from the white noise is an exercise in insanity.

    The HUD is overwhelming. With everything being this futuristic shade of neon teal, combined with tiny font, I feel as though I need to squint my eyes and scan read to figure out what information is being relayed to me. Why do I need to see an icon for every gadget I have equipped all the time? Wouldn't it be better suited to have a context overlay appear as I swap gadgets/weapons and use the space available to only show critical information like ammo, health and armour. Objective markers are so obtuse that I can't actually see the players hidden behind them. A1, A2, B1, B2 flood my screen and make no effort to reduce in transparency even if you are looking through gun optics.

    The maps are over overwhelming. The majority of the maps seem to have been designed without cover. I guess cover is not a thing in the future... I cannot possibly identify or count the angles I am open to being shot from and so I feel paralysed when trying to strategically push an objective. You are either completely swarmed by a death ball of enemies trying to find the action in an otherwise barren landscape or you are wishing you could call in a quad bike as you run a half marathon from your spawn point. There's no feeling of accomplishment as your team successfully pushes or defends a critical flag. It's just a red zerg and blue zerg moving around the map like a tornado made out of players.

    The minimap is overwhelming. There is so much information being crammed into such a tiny minimap that I don't know where to begin. With more players and more vehicles than ever before, the icons blend and merge into themselves. Every game prior has had the option to scale the minimap up and out of all the games that need this feature the most... this option is mysteriously absent. Pressing 'M' to bring up the overview map, can you quickly identify where you are and the direction you are facing using this feature? Or do you have to sift and scan through to find your tiny player triangle amongst a sea of other triangles and icons.

    The gunplay is overwhelming. Jesus christ I think this one makes me question my sanity the most. It feels like since the beta, everything has been given enough recoil and spread that hitting the broad side of a barn outside of 20m is just a pipe dream. Every fight is left up to unstable net code and random bullet deviation and I'm lucky if I can kill one person with a full magazine. As much as I don't like the implementation of spread, if it has to be in the game, look at how well it was done in BF1, you can still be incredibly accurate tap firing targets at longer distances. Across the BF titles, I am a 2.0 + k/d player. On this title, I am struggling just to go positive.

    The level of level of polish and fidelity makes this feel like it's a pre-alpha build with another year to go before release. Everything feels like it's placeholder, but they ran out of time and had to ship whatever was there. I cannot believe the game has launched in the state that it is in currently.    … Expand

No separate server browsers for regular game and portal mode. Also, I didn't find how to switch teams or squads. Don't even sure that it is possible.

    They did it, they've made THE BATTLEFIELD without the battlefield.

    This is the most disappointing game I have ever played, my beloved studio DICE, so proclaimed as player-oriented and community-driven (Even under the EA's influence), were always trying to deliver a good product even with forced revenue boosted elements: Premium Packs in Battlefield 4, loot boxes in Battlefront, skins and boosters In Battlefield V but never it was such a delusional and disconnected from the community...This is a general review and I will not go specifically on each missing or slaughtered feature/game element

    - Empty promises
    - No balance
    - Lying about the game concept and future plans
    - Uncooked and unfinished with hundreds of bugs and performance issues
    - Empty lifeless maps with 0 creativity and level design
    - Re-used assets and complete lack of content at the start because battle passes, of course, lets increase grind so players will stay longer in the game until we have a chance to rush our production team and release a whole new batch of untested and unbalanced weapons, attachments, characters and vehicles.

    And as a dessert, SPECIALISTS, of course since they like money and since creativity is now officially dead, they prefer to copy a popular concept that ruins the essence of the series without a reason! I am not against making money on the additional concept but give us the base game and then do whatever you want for a chashgrab from the new audience and current players, what we received is a spit in the face and that famous "South Park" We Are Sorry....
    P.S. There is no recovery, this game will improve most of the issues with gameplay and balance in the next couple of years but it will never become a BATTLEFIELD

    I lost my last hope in the gamedev, my hopes and dreams are dying with this game and the fall of the DICE.    … Expand

    Absolute and utter disappointed. Performance is very poor even with a 3080ti and an intel core i7. Feels very far from a Battlefield game. I would have much orefered a Bf4 remake.

    This is easily the worst game in the series. Most of the Battlefield series features have been stripped out of the game, and amazingly most basic FPS features have been stripped out the the game (no scoreboard!?). This is a soulless, empty mobile game designed for micro transactions. Do not buy this! Wait, or at least watch some reviews! No Man's Sky / Cyberpunk at release are about on par.

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

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

    Thanks again for nothing, EA.    … Expand

    Just want to share my thoughts/problems on BF2042 in a list.

    All weapons have the same attachments, nothing feels unique Many attachments do literally the same as the other ones Only 22 weapons (BF3 had nearly 60 weapons to unlock) Only 7 maps BF had 9 ( or with all DLC 25 maps) UI feels clunky and not intuitive No scoreboard (New anti-cheat lmao, if u can't see a 100 -    Just want to share my thoughts/problems on BF2042 in a list.

    All weapons have the same attachments, nothing feels unique

    Many attachments do literally the same as the other ones

    Only 22 weapons (BF3 had nearly 60 weapons to unlock)

    Only 7 maps BF had 9 ( or with all DLC 25 maps)

    UI feels clunky and not intuitive

    No scoreboard (New anti-cheat lmao, if u can't see a 100 - 0, then there are no cheater)

    Maps have a bad infantry flow structure

    Why classes if everyone can be everything (Everyone can equip medikits, repair boxes, and stuff)

    Operators are sometimes useless ( As example allow the doc to pick up people with the medic gun otherwise they have nothing special compared to someone with medikit)

    "Destruction" is not even really there or even "at the BF5 level"

    Scope bug where different item usages break your scope and you have to switch to iron sight to fix it

    No "Military Ranks" just numbers which feels like a cheap replacement to save work

    To many cutscenes before and after a match.

    Server laggs and rubberbanding

    No visible line between the operators. There should be operators for each site because atm its confusing

    Hit reg is broken and often does not work at all

    Bloom Random Recoil makes most assault rifles unplayable

    Performance, in general, is trash

    DLSS seems not to work

    No option in-game to activate DX12 (you can activate it in the config file)

    Hovercraft ... I don't even know how I should list all stuff that is broken with it

    No voice or global chat

    No server browser

    Let us be in a lobby after a match without re matchmake us

    Fix to join friends that are in around Planes not getting destroyed in most collisions because "noob-friendly" Mines disappear if you die Netcode seems worse than every other battlefield before Attachment unlock requirements follow no reason for stupid high kill counts No team swap No squad creation/management No commander No "Medic is x meters away from you" More normal bikes on the map for a bit of individual transport Allow ingame ui to be transparent in options ( it was possible in beta I think) No joystick support for piloting Only 2 game modes Only 5 XP for heal/revive WTF Dice? No XP for repair as a mechanic? WTF? Revive not possible if someone's head is just 1 cm near some object Breakthrough mode objectives on some maps are not balanced ( I saw never a game going behind specific areas) No damage dealt indicator for vehicles (it was there in alpha/beta) Audio / Footsteps feels really off Breakthrough games sometimes have no end because there is no new zone / the server does not check if the game is done Auto Deploy at start of round... Why? Remove it AA Misses seeming buggy at pathfinding Why do we have no mouse on Hazardzone Char selection? No private/rented servers Gunplay is not Battlefield but feels like f2p arcade shooter No hardcore No resizable minimap No separate Heli & Jet controls Obnoxious voice-overs, operators are incredibly vocal, every time you do an action they say a line. The 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. 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. When in the tank, you don't have this little tank outline that 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 squad points for issuing orders or following them No marksman headshot bonus for long-range snipes Cannot tell if there is room to enter a friendly vehicle without trying to get in it. Cannot dive underwater Non-removable profanity filter Grappling Hook is afraid of smoke Bullets are afraid of power lines Vehicle entry and exit animations have been removed ADS required to change weapon fire mode Cannot move while prone and ADS Crossplay issues on Xbox    … Expand

    The real battlefield is represented through heart racing gunfights, while enemy tank shells level 2 story structures around you, enemy helicopter blades and gunfire whistle in your direction. While your teammates are screaming for ammo, a medic, and F*CK THERE'S A GRENADE! You are the unknown soldier on the front lines fighting for your life, doing your job to revive, provide ammo, cover fire, and recon the Battlefield.

The audio, the atmosphere, the gunplay! The maps! It had it all. And team play! Was great. Even tho BFV had it set of problems. The game mechanics were on point! Ex. Crawling on your back! Rolling on the ground when jumping from heights! Medics distance (so you know how far one is) some examples. Heck! Even BF hardline had a feature that BFV implemented. The mechanic where you no longer had to wait for certain roles to provide you with ammo, health. Just simply approach them and take what you need. And this entry here (2042) for some odd reason took all that away. Don’t get me started on the 2042 bugs, glitches and hit boxes and much more. Just get triggered thinking about them. Portal was their saving grace. But as of now they took away the XP and ranking up system within this mode cause people abused the system ( Farming) So now there is no point to play portal after like 3 games. Honestly, if you are reading this and haven’t bought the game and are fan of the pervious BF entries. No need to rush to purchase this game. Until hopefully they fix it.

    It seems with every iteration of battlefield things that did well in the previous battlefields just gets forgotten about or replaced in an amateur and rudimentary way. When you look at how polished BF1 and compare it to 2042, it truly boggles the mind of how far DICE have fallen with their quality and standards.

    BF1 felt atmospheric, the map design beautiful, intense and wonderful flow between objectives and yet we are left with open maps devoid of detail or character, and when you play most of these maps you really cant be bothered to move 500m to the closest objective.

    The specialist system is counter to the essence of what made previous battlefields great, the idea I always believed was that we play as generic soldiers whose only stand out is our readiness in terms of equipment choice, map knowledge, team work and overall skill level. Teamwork is completely gone as you are left wondering what role to play or any role at all.

    gunplay and movement feel like a cheap battlefield knockoff, which is far from the heights of BF4/1, it doesn't feel comfortable to play and often feels very jarring.

    It is also terribly optimized, my system can do 120-210 fps on previous games with no rubber banding or hit register issues and here I have to take the graphics down to low to just get a stable-ish frame rate, in a world of GPU shortages - shouldn't DICE have optimized for many of us who cant get a new high end GPU? Also for essentially a game that feels, looks, behaves worse than previous gen titles, it leaves you wondering where is all this performance going? and what have the devs been doing for the entire dev cycle?

    Most people are saying play portal But we came for BF2042 standard multiplayer, if we wanted to play the previous games - we would just go and play the previous games which btw are still pretty active!

    No scoreboard, no chat, no classes, barely destruction, no teamwork, no style, no swapping squads, no real customization, no server browser. No fun.

    And for those who say come back in 6 months to 1 year? why waste the money now in the hope that DICE and EA fix this hollow experience...    … Expand

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.
