    This game is without a single doubt in my mind, the WORST BF.

    This game is clearly in actual Beta and should not have been released but they did it anyway. It is the most riddled with bugs AAA game i have ever played on top of servers not working.

    They completely stripped it of typical features, server browser, classes, voice chat, ability to change squads, low selection of weapons, inconsequential loadouts(you can equip any attachment at any time), and any other game modes besides Conquest and Breakthrough. Hope you didnt like smaller map playlists without vehicles cause thats completely gone. Have you ever heard of games taking away features for no good reason? No because most devs arent brainless.

    This is on top of awful game design, pacing is simply terrible because of the huge maps, you run for 5 minutes from point to point hoping you dont get sniped or vehicle killed before you even get a chance to engage anybody because the maps are huge swaths of open area. And you mostly do get sniped or killed by a vehicle so youre spending 10 min just to get to a point on Conquest and you trade kills and then you start the cycle over again. It is atrocious. They have learned nothing from other shooters on the market.

    The current DICE devs dont know how to design a good BF experience, and thats a fact. You know its a huge red flag when they stripped a bunch of features and dont QA their product properly.

    CoD releases games every year and while they may not be perfect, have never been as god awful as this BF. BF 2042 has been in development for over 3 years, and this is the best they can do with EA funding.    … Expand

    It's funny to watch people with 1050ti and i3 give the game 0 out of 10, are you guys serious? On my 2070 super and Ryzen 5 3600, 70-80 fps are stable at high settings in FullHD, those who complain about the maps, guys, learn to play, do not rush, but do not sit still like campers, and even more so, is it really so difficult to wait until November 19th and get the first day patch

    Lack of content, no solo, 23 guns, less vehicle and bots and only 2 modes for 2042 (with almost no balancing). I mean 3 years and 4 studios to have that kind of game is really laughable, dice from 2010 did better than this.

    No naval warfare, no boats is that The bugs , yea 10 thousands of bugs And the best removing all aspect of battlefield game, no scoreboard , no voice chat, no able to choose squad, no team play.

    Shockingly bad.
    Could this be the most embarrassing launch ever save for last years release of Cyberpunk?
    They made the consumers pay premium price for a build that is almost unplayable even on high end PC hardware. It doesn't feel like Battlefield anymore. It's shocking, really. Visually the game looks amazing, but that's about the only good thing here. So many bad design decisions were    Shockingly bad.

I usually don't take the time to write reviews like this, but I loved Battlefield 4 and was very excited about this game. I feel extremely sad that one of my favorite game series went down the drain. The bad influence from EA is as clear as day. In a better world, EA would keep their dirty, greedy fingers away from Dice and let them make whatever game they want to make.

    This whole thing is disgraceful.

    Poor addition to the franchise. As always a rocky start from DICE. Game seems gutless and trying too hard to push the serotonin inducing synthetic gameplay/voice lines etc. Gunplay is lacklustre and feels like a f2p game. Regression being the keyword for this iteration.

Currently as I write this review all the servers are bugged and stuck in a never ending overtime ( Joined 6 servers in a row , all bugged )

    The entire operator system is garbage and clearly only put into the game to sell skins, which is pathetic. Also the games story makes no sense, why are we all "no pats" when in multiplayer its RUSSIA VS AMERICA. Like are the countries powerful enough to attack other foreign nations but not powerful enough to have their own militaries, but apparently have enough money to hire an ARMY of personal mercenaries? Those mercenaries that get dropped off by ACTUAL soldiers? Also it looks REALLY stupid when you're fighting a team with the exact same operators as yours. *slow clap* And on a side note the AI soldiers all look way cooler than any of the operators, which is also pathetic on its own.

    Weapon variety is awful and for some reason DICE thought it was a good idea to give each weapon less attachments than their previous games, and this is clearly only because they have to work around their stupid switch attachments on the fly system which only allows you to have 4 different attachment types ( looking at vanguard you can have 8 to 10 on each gun, AND THEYRE WORLD WAR 2 GUNS FFS ), which that in its own makes literally zero sense. LIke yeah in the middle of a firefight I'm just going to swap out my optics, ammo type, and barrel in 2 seconds. yup.

    There are only TWO game modes for the main game. Conquest, which is just a hot mess with the map size and player count, and breakthrough, which just divulges into a zerg in between the attacking points/ Why have such a HUGE map but focus all the fighting into a small area?

    There is NO voice chat, at all, which is a BIG LMAO. There is no actual scoreboard, because reasons?

    The gunplay is just terrible. Hit Reg is pretty much non existent, and you better hope you NEVER have to fire your gun while moving because apparently any sort of movement turns your gun barrel into a piece of limp spaghetti because your bullets just decide to go everywhere but where you're aiming. The gun spread in portal is its own disaster but to save a paragraph, just think 2042 but worse :)

    Hovercraft....I'm convinced they just didn't do any internal testing because if they did they would have realized that the hovercraft can literally climb the sides of skyscrapers and fly through the air.

    The game is clearly unfinished, clearly a cash grab, and clearly broken. I paid 158 Canadian ( after tax ) for the ultimate edition. This game is NOT worth even a quarter of that. Why did DICE decide this game was ready for release when it clearly isn't?

    On a side note, Hazard Zone clearly received little to no love and is probably just going to end up like firestorm ( received pretty much no marketing at all other than that AWFUL trailer, and the game is out in 4 days ) I'm quite confident its just going to end up being Firestorm 2.0, abandoned and forgotten as if it were never part of the game at all. Which is sad because it seems that any time DICE tries to do ANYTHING unique, they just fail. They couldn't even copy hunt showdown or Tarkov properly. Hazard Zone is what I was most excited for and seeing how bare bones and unfinished it is just hurts.

    Per reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/qs5gh9/a_list_of_issues_with_battlefield_2042_and_what/

    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.    … Expand

Instead we got a completely new and revamped Battlefield that reminds me all the time of PUBG. Don't get me wrong but I like the fact that studios and developers creating something new and dare stepping out of their comfort zone. But we as veteran players know that Battlefield is a game that likes to set the standard for the next Battlefield title and so on.

    Cons:
    -Devs saying that they were gonna keep most of the physics from BFV and yet released something far from the standard.
    -Devs and reviewers are being paid or told on how to review the game. The twitter accounts from the devs was such an organized attack on promoting "ThE BeSt BaTtLeFiElD gAmE wE hAvE eVeR cReAtEd"
    -Basic and poor destruction that feels like BF3-4
    -Performance issues while GPU & CPU are only utilized for 50-60%
    -128 players (I've noticed that when encountering more players the lag spikes starts to occur)
    -Map design (this is the worst map design I have ever seen in a BF title. Textures are sharp, every buidling and model looks squared, too many open space. The game throws you into a tutorials on the dessert map, at first I thought I downloaded BF2. My first reaction to this was: "I want the game from the trailer".
    -What's up with the bullet spread?
    -Long range shooting feels RNG-based
    -UI (It's improved comparing with the Beta but still has a long way to home. I see people on reddit making redesigns who should be hired immediately)
    -Options menu is a mess but this is the least of my concerns
    -The classes. Besides destruction, the classes are the kind of thing that makes Battlefield classic. I don't like the mixup with operators and classes. There is already so much to focus on and now I have to filter players of them cheating or having some kind of sketchy operators that can scan through walls. The players don't like it and it should be removed instantly.

    Mids - Pro's:
    -The scoreboard. Everyone is complaining about bringing the old scoreboard back. I honestly don't care at all. This Scoreboard is a step into the right direction and devs should make everything a bit more objective based to have a much better team experience.
    -The weapons. I don't mind having 22 guns to choose from. In the end I only play with the same kind of weapons and at this stage of the game with all the hitreg problems there is no gun that has my preference. People also seem to forget that this game has more weapons which you can find in the Portal mode.
    -Portal. This is the only spark the game has to offer but at this point I'm starting to think if it wasn't better for them to release remakes of the games with the BFV engine (Remakes, not remaster). That would've put them in a better spotlight then BF2042
    -No story mode. It's personal preference between 'Play a story once' or 'play a better multiplayer'. However we now have a full team concentrating on Multiplayer and still received a burning house.
    -No all chat. I leave this in the middle but I don't miss it at all. 90% of the time the chat is being used to flame.

    Once again they pulled the rug from beneath our feet. Took our money and run. They will come back in 6 months with a update that makes everyone happy just to take it away three months later. The lesson to be learned here is that if the beta doesn't satisfy you, you should not be preordering or buying the game at release.    … Expand

    They ruined it with all the new COD features. The majority of battlefield fans wanted something like Battlefield 3 or 4 and instead they got a COD/ Titanfall crossover. Absolutely horrible. This is no longer the war simulator we all loved. There's a old saying "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" remastered versions of 3 and 4 would be nice but EA is becoming too greedy.

    Portal is a gimmick, no scoreboard, terrible sounds, terrible voices (the specialists) and the specialist system just doesn't fit Battlefield anyway. It's like they copied everything from every other game and hoped that it would work out for them. The game feels soulless, the immersion is completely gone (compared to every other BF game, especially BF1) - there's no ambient noise to make you feel like you're in a war. The music is also terrible. No idea what they were thinking with that one. No server browser, no enemy chat (can only type to your team) can't even create squads in-game. Can't swap squads. There's only like 4 viable weapons. The UI is terrible. Tanks have some sort of input lag that magically goes away if you use your zoom but if you remove zoom optics it's so unresponsive. Very bad air physics. Jets are useless. No TV missile for choppers (not even for Portal BF3), no ECM? No APS? No Reactive Armor? Smoke in AOW on tanks lasts like 4 sec and recharges in 30? What is this game?

    Anyone looking to buy this game - just don't. Maybe in a year it might be worth it but even if they fix the performance (doubt it), the bad decisions won't be fixed (massive core gameplay issues) and the terrible map design. A running simulator.

    See you on the next Battlefield.    … Expand

    Some of the most satisfying gun play in the series tainted by logistical errors.

    If Dice is able to fix bugs/ missing content, this will be a long term fan favorite.

    When they said if you don't like it don't play it with BFV; well I am doing the same with 2042. The only thing about this game is Portal. However, the lack of core gameplay mechanics such as leaning, scoreboard, classes and voicechat makes it hollow and wanting more. Dice if you are reading this, please never make a game again.

    The game came out completely undercooked and uninspired. A graphical improvement over Battlefield 3 & 4, but a step down from 5 & 1. Game could potentially be fun if it wasn’t rife with bugs that make the game unplayable. Gun variety is laughable for a modern FPS (especially with the Battlefield title), and the agents are lifeless and incredibly generic. Just go play one of the older titles.

The game is missing some features which seem to be integral to many multiplayer FPS games. The game has poor gunplay, bad audio, horrible servers, overly large maps, the worst UI I’ve ever experienced in my entire life, a lack of content and also a magnitude of bugs. As someone who was really excited by this game and really wanted to be positive about it, the user reviews that you are seeing across the board are not being deceptive. They are true.

    - Movement. Feels like an Indie title especially coming from the amazing system in BFV
    - Destruction. Sad to see but scripted and boring.
    - UI and HUD. Worst UI in history of gaming, horrible is in every possible way. Confusing, inefficient and doesn’t work on PC or Console. A shadow of the decent UI in the previous titles.
    - Maps. Lifeless, boring, thoughtless just a bunch of random areas chosen for maps.
    - Specialists. Completely ruined teamwork, balance.
    - Factionless. WHY this is not 6v6 tdm its 64vs64 u need factions…u need a story…u need a plot or the game feels pointless.
    - Portal…love story my ass. Fun for now, boring in a few weeks.
    - Weapons… a far cry from other games. Go look at Vanguard or MW 2019 and compare it to the basic, first draft of weapon animations in this game.
    - Audio…guns sound horrible. Overall ambiance sounds Flat and again lifeless. Footsteps either super quiet or u hear everything from 300 meters away.

There are maybe two decent maps that offer infantry enough cover to run the miles it takes to get to an objective, and vehicles are wildly overpowered with infantry not having enough options to deal with them. The UI is possibly the most terrible thing I've seen in a while, and the spawn system on the overhead map is so cramped that it makes it difficult to spawn on the correct squad mate or spawn beacon if they are too close to an objective. PTFO and teamwork is a thing of the past thanks to the specialist system. The audio is so bad that you can't really hear which direction footsteps are coming from, or a hovercraft or rover sneaking up behind you.

My biggest complaints revolve around the general interface, menu system, navigation elements, controls, and the maps. For starters, there's really only 3 game modes. I know that's not all that different from previous years, but they need to bring back more centralized objective based game modes. Conquest is what it is, a playground for vehicular warfare.

Movement is slow, sliding doesn't seem to slide? and it's game of cardio with guns on the ground without feeling like you're doing anything. In a live multiplayer environment your character will load in - then do a non-cancelable weapons check/reload animation where you are completely exposed- and if in a high-populated area, not have any time to react to prone enemies and die/repeat the whole thing again. The Ui is a mess. it's confusing, disorganized, and trying to find even a loadout option is fumbling in the dark with no explanation.

    The worst feeling is being a medic. As opposed to tossing unlimited packs that still allowed you to have a gun handy- like every predecessor before it, you're left with a Dart gun of sorts, with terrible XP rewards on use (5? 5?!), on top of healing ammo restriction, and god help you if anyone shows up while you're trying to lend a support hand. Because you have to swap weapons to save yourself, you're guaranteed to die trying to heal teammates while fumbling back to a gun - all for almost zero XP to even show for it. This leads to everyone haphazardly running around firing as best they can, with no strategy, no support, and no point at the end of the match.

    Since classes or teamwork in squads don't seem to matter, it's sort of a "every man for themselves" mentality which- you may as well go to a Battle royale type for that, versus a 20+ minute conquest match where no one really seems to give a damn.

    I'm glad I got the game pass free 10hr run at this because if anything, after 5 hours it's made me appreciate BF5 all the more, and I'll return to that. Politely, I will hope some things can be tweaked because... Oof. Am I disappointed.    … Expand

They constantly get away with outright lying (false advertising), like promising that 2042 would have the most destruction of any BF only to have absolutely none whatsoever.

    Beyond what seems to essentially be criminal corporate activity (again false advertising is illegal in most countries, so wth?), the usual modern industry norms plagues every aspect of this cheap cash grab: reinvent every single game mechanic around monetization. Class system which used to be a pillar of this franchise scrapped for operator **** making it impossible to tell friend from foe. Just this kills the game completely for me. Then this means there are no factions. No scoreboards. No guns. Maps are by far the worst of any shooter ever. Etc etc etc etc etc etc.

    I won't waste more time typing, many other reviews here have everything in them already. Been playing BF passionately since BF 1942. Favorite entry is BFBC2. This is a travesty. I'll just finish on this:

    Portal is fun for about 30 minutes until you realize there's no meaningful progression system and have access to all the guns from the start. Nothing to unlock. I was SO hyped to play BFBC2 remastered, was bored after 30 minutes because of this. It's so detached, it poops you into a game with everything unlocked, making every game identical and devoid of any goals or meaning. Portal is there just to appease the anger they knew would emerge from their money **** they call 2042. Get Xbox Game Pass, play the free trial that comes with it, then once you've agreed with me come and give a 0 on Metascore and use your life in a smarter way than on this corporate-bonuses driven dystopian brain-melting horse manure.    … Expand

    -said specialists look the same on both teams
    {i know they added tiny red lights but it doesn't fix the issue)

    Anyways, the actual game has some highs and some lows. The fundamental gameplay is very fun and screams Battlefield with big moments and chaotic warfare. The maps are big but as long as you actually use the tools at your disposal action is not hard to find. I love the verticality of some of the maps and they are all athestically pleasing. While I thought specialists would ruin the game they might actually be some of the best additions. In terms of abilities they are a mixed bag with some feeling out of place (wall hacks) and others feeling pretty useless but at the same time I've never had the freedom of flying or grappling around the map to get a positional advantage or planting makeshift cover for my squad. It really is fun and only those who refuse to accept change disagree here. But hey, if you don't like a certain aspect of the main MP you don't have to care, Portal solves all your issues. While I think it would benefit from paid hosted servers like older games and I hope that is added, it really does have everything you could ask for. Tons of maps, tons of guns, tons of options. The battle royale ish game mode is OK too. Now on to the negatives, as you can see this is a 6/10 which is just slightly above average so clearly there are issues. Performance is not great, this just needs to be better there is nothing else to say. There is a laundry list of small b7t noticeable features hat have been removed too. Full scoreboard? All chat? Squad changing? There is a whole lot more where that came from and it really does impact the overall experience when you expect a feature that isn't there. Next up is the fact that the base game only has 22 guns, not a whole lot when compared to past entries. With that said, the guns are at least varied and perform in their own niche with lots of attachment options. I guess it beats having 5 guns that do the same thing. Its clear portal is where the other guns went. People also seem to have a problem with the general gunplay. Personally I agree to an extent but not NEARLY as much as some are making it out to be. There is an accuracy penalty for moving and in some situations is extremely frustrating but for the most part is avoidable with smart play and good aim. I won't carry on this list forever but another issue stems from the lack of a class system. Well sort of. There are classes in the game and each specialist is a part of one of those classes but you are allowed to take whichever equipment you want. It means everyone can run around with a rocket launcher (and they do) and you never know who has what. It makes some equipment almost unseen such as ammo or health packs and generally contributes to less overall teamwork on a team wide level. No longer are there dedicated healers and revivers, but instead everyone can revive, which sort makes it so that less people take that job seriously. On the other hand it let's you run whichever gun you want which isn't a bad thing considering the lack of them.

    Overall, this game has amazing potential and I really think it can get there with support. We know more guns, more specialist and more maps will come for free. There is an nvidia driver releasing on the 19th which should help performance. I imagine a lot of bugs will be fixed by then too. We all know what AAA games are like now. Release first and fix later. And yet, I keep playing because well, it's just fun. Should you accept this is the way it is and buy it anyway? That's your call, I wouldn't blame you for not supporting this practice, especially not the early access overpriced gold edition. Give the trial on EAplay/gamepass a try with some friends and have an open mind. You might be surprised how enjoyable it is despite the issues.    … Expand

    Loadouts are fine everything there works, maps are not good, too big for the game I'd rather it be like battlefield 4 but with 128 players on the same maps. What happened to destruction? No clue since there's no taking down buildings or a giant battlefield scarred with craters like in BF1 or BFV it's just cod at this point where all you see is vehicles exploding and that's about it.

    The frame rate is around 30-40 with occasional drops to 20 I've seen people say they have a RTX 3090 and a Ryzen 5950x and it's at 40-50 so you know the optimization is absolutely trash.

    What a dumpster fire of a launch, at least the BFV beta was playable and the only issues in that was revives and the fact that you could see the grey floor underwater.

    If they're gonna fix all these issues in a week I'd say that's a death sentence and a very difficult task, though if by some miracle this game comes out okay at launch it'd be great.    … Expand

    Butchered features from previous games to cater to a wider audience, and ultimately released a game that is completely bug ridden, performs terribly on high-end PC's at any resolution above 1080p, netcode and servers are rubbish, doesn't have a campaign, and is blatantly moving in the direction of enticing cosmetic microtransactions.

    Firstly - full disclosure - I'm on console - XBOX Series X. I get it - PC Master race and all that, so no need to bring that old chestnut into this.

    OK - so I was looking forward to this game like nothing else, and I'm a BF fan since BF3 (played 3, 4, 1 and 5 to death). I played the BETA and really enjoyed it, knowing that it was an older build, and happy in the fact that DICE had    Firstly - full disclosure - I'm on console - XBOX Series X. I get it - PC Master race and all that, so no need to bring that old chestnut into this.

    OK - so I was looking forward to this game like nothing else, and I'm a BF fan since BF3 (played 3, 4, 1 and 5 to death). I played the BETA and really enjoyed it, knowing that it was an older build, and happy in the fact that DICE had confirmed that near all the issues with the BETA had been resolved in the release version.

    Unfortunately, the release version is a massive step down from the BETA version for me, for a number of reasons:

    Scoreboard - there isn't one. DICE don't want you feeling bad if you have a poor k/d, therefore they're not going to show you a scoreboard where you can compare your stats to anyone elses. This also means you can't see if anyone has been cheating/hacking and has a 120 k/d ratio. You can't hack on console you say - well see the second dot point.
    Forced cross-play on xbox, with zero console aim assist to combat it. You can't turn cross-play off on Xbox. 90% of the people you come up against are on PC and you just can't compete against m&k when there's no aa to help. You could turn cross play off in the BETA, but they've disabled that in the actual release - now you can only turn it off in the xbox settings and it's buried (hidden) 5 layers deep in the settings, and it also means that you can't cross-play in any other games once you've disabled it.
    Loadout issues - so you play to level up your character and your guns, but the funny thing is 9 times out of 10 the loading screen is broken and you can't actually choose what guns you want to play with, so you load in with the basic first assault rife the game gives you, without any attachments that you've opened up and also no gadgets to use. You can't change this in-game. You're stuck with that gun and no gadgets unless you pick up someone elses gun off the ground.
    No server select - in the all out war (standard conquest) mode, you can only press play, and you have to trust the system to place you in a game. You don't know where that server is and based on the lag, the system doesn't care if it places you in an oceanic one, a US or European one etc. Once you're in a server, you don't know where it is located. You also don't know what map you're loading into, and how far along that game is. It also doesn't keep you in that server. Once a map is finished you're booted back to the main menu to find a new game, which could be the same map, and also another game that's close to finishing.
    Errors - tonnes of them. I couldn't play much at all on Saturday as the game just errored out trying to enter any game mode.
    The characters - although I'm not a fan of the specialists, I don't mind them so much, but some of them are just game breaking and 90% of people are using the broken ones, such as the one that gives out free armour plates. You're forced to use him also, due to the unfairness of having to constantly fight people with 20 more HP than you.
    Removed all aspects of team play.
    The gunplay - random at best. There's bloom on all guns and it's a flip of the coin as to whether your bullets hit their target or not. Gun fights aren't won by skill, they're won by chance to give those that aren't great a fighting chance.
    The maps - some are gorgeous and look incredible. But they are also lifeless as they are just too big. Some of them have next to zero cover and you just spawn in the middle of an open desert, then are forced to watch a gun chambering animation before moving - usually by that time you've been shot.
    Portal is amazing, although I wouldn't know it as about 80% of portal games error out for me. Also, DICE have made it so you can barely level up anything when playing portal (levelling is severely capped) to combat idiots that have filled the portal servers with farm xp game modes (AI with 10 health and no weapons).
    I could go on about the no chat, small amount of weapons available, and the general unfinished and broken aspects of the game, but that's plenty for now. Like I said - I'm a massive BF fan and I've been waiting for this game for years. Disappointed is an understatement - maybe in 6 months it might be worth playing. Until then, save your cash if you were on the fence.    … Expand

    Almost every critic review is shilling for EA making sure they are able to gain review copies for future titles. This game is absolutely terrible and should not even be considered a "Battlefield" game anymore.

    To think that DICE/EA thought this was okay to release in this state is beyond me...

    Besides the bugs, and lack of weapons at the moment, it's a pretty good game

    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.
