    I got a great machine it runs well enough. But operators, and there is no such thing as classes now? I mean real classes, not operator gets perks, and its like pokemon you got collect them all, and they say they got support role. I can rock any weapon and item combo I want like its freaking Call of Duty, there is no classes no class levels.

    This shouldn't even be allowed to call itself a BF series game. I love BF since 1942 I been a support class user, and loved it in every single game. But this, not only is support not a thing, the LMG it lets me use in tutorial against really bad bots, is not available on launch, the weapons are super limited, the enviroment is not destructible.

    This should be a damn p2w game why did I pay top dollar for gold edition only to get a f2p quality game with BF name in the title? I mean I feel so damn ripped off, I knew it would have some **** I may not like, but I expected min class system I coudl even handle that stupid cash grab operator system if there was still classes, real ones with restrictions. But instead its freaking Call of Duty style I can rock any gun I want, with any items, I can go sniper with ammo box, I can go LMG with an "assaults" operator. And the gun selection is tiny, I am use to rocking shotguns and LMGs and now I can do anything which eliminates half the damn strategy of the game. Now I can get killed by a SMG on a freaking support avatar, or sniped by one. Its just infuriating I paid full price for this garbage.    … Expand

The PP29 needs a hard need and the AR needs some more love. The bugs and graphical glitches are worth another 2 pages.

If they don't fix it by the 19th then I am afraid I'll go back to Modern Warfare which was a much better experience ( and it was my first COD game)… Expand

    The only saving grace of this dumpster fire of an installment to a once-cherished brand is the graphics, which I will admit are pretty damn impressive.

    Pros:

    Cons:
    No factions
    No class system
    Complete disregard for past-available weapon customization/variety of guns
    Lackluster Levolution and Destruction

    No persistent lobbies
    No server browser at launch
    Terrible disregard for Infantry-style movement a la leaning or backwards prone which was in the previous installment
    No medals or dogtags
    SEVERE lack of in-game content (weapons, character customization, etc.)
    Lack of vehicle customization/variety
    No squads (WHY?)

    Honestly, many are attempting to counter our reviews by saying that the negative ones are "too similar" or that this MUST be a targeted attack on a notoriously disliked developer. However, maybe - just maybe - the similarities of our posts are reminiscent of what the community was sold on; that this game would be good.

    Same problems as battlefield V, the modes are focused on pile-on killfests, team work can be ignored, the character movement feels floaty and fast, and the weapon customization is simple and easy to understand. All of these criticisms could actually be seen as positives, depending on what you want out of an FPS game. But here’s the thing: They don’t belong in Battlefield.

    But ultimately even so, IF performance was perfect, the maps are huge and 128 players is cool on paper but because of this design decision the maps are ALL completely empty, devoid of cover, there is practically NO destruction and there is no levelutions anymore.
    There are barely any guns, operators are happy go lucky but the lore is dark and gritty, barely any skins or unlockables. This makes me think they intend on charging us for it all in the near future since they want this to be a live service game.
    I don't expect DICE to fix these issues any time soon.
    I cannot recommend this to anyone in it's current state. Maybe in a year IF they actually fix the game's lack of content.
    And for good measure, here's a list of ALL missing features compared to previous Battlefield games. This is NOT a "Love letter to fans".

If I wanted specialists I would play Warzone or Siege or some **** Portal is good, only issue with it is the server lag/issues, and bugs that carry over from the 2042 engine it's built in sadly. But Portal needs more maps and guns to stay playable/replayability. If they sold Portal seperate from 2042 I would rather buy that than 2042. Lack of features are missing from 2042 that were in previous battlefields like scoreboard or proper score system for damaging vehicles or players. No assists on taking out vehicles, no extra points or distance listed for long range sniping. Also no diving under water to avoid detection to name a few out of hundreds of missing features lol. I definitely recommend saving your money, buy BFV, BF1, or BF4 that are on sale on Steam for cheap, play those that work waaaaay better. Wait for this game to be fixed, patched, and when it's heavily on sale to buy it, save your money. Show EA/Dice that this game is garbage compared to previous Battlefields.

I enjoyed BF1 somewhat. I tried my hardest to enjoy BFV but I just found myself getting more and more frustrated the more I played it, much like I am now with BF2042.

    I have played all the Battlefields since BF2. It is my favorite franchise. Personally, I feel the series peaked with BF3/4. I have put many thousands of hours into those two. I enjoyed BF1 somewhat. I tried my hardest to enjoy BFV but I just found myself getting more and more frustrated the more I played it, much like I am now with BF2042. There are some things I do enjoy but there are some decisions that were made in the design of this game that are just baffling.

    Scoreboard/All Chat: Trying to encourage teamwork by obfuscating certain things seems a little ham-fisted to me. You don’t encourage teamwork by hiding things from the player. If I want to see how I am doing in relation to other players on my team I should be able to do it. I would also love to complement enemy players if they did some crazy play or if we had a nice duel with sniper rifles in the middle of the desert. But we can’t do that now because of the chance of people being toxic to one another?

    Specialists: In what was clearly a directive from corporate they decided to go down the hero soldier route in lieu of the traditional 4-class system in a blatant attempt to better sell the eventual onslaught of cosmetics. I was initially skeptical but willing to give them a chance. Each hero is given two unique traits that are exclusive to them. Some of these are great, like Mackay’s grapple hook and Rosier’s wing-suit. Others feel kind of lackluster in comparison, like Angel’s ability to revive someone with armor instead of health.

    You are given a lot of leeway in how you can customize your soldiers in terms of weapons and equipment but this creates a problem. Everything now feels homogenized. Everyone is a sort of jack of all trades. You can’t call these specialists. Does a specialist run around with a med-kit, sniper rifle and an RPG? Being able to throw together whatever random load-out you want means there is no longer a rock/paper/scissor element to encounters. That might sound like a good thing but hear me out. If I am playing as the Assault class, I know I will excel in infantry combat and be able to heal and revive but if I come across a tank or helicopter? You can bet your ass I’m going to be running. If I am playing as an engineer with an RPG and a PDW, I know I can handle myself in close quarters and be a deterrent to enemy armor but I can;t heal or resupply myself. Playing as a Recon I know I can spot enemies from a distance and be a general nuisance from afar or make a suicide dash towards a tank with some C4. This was a dynamic that I loved in previous Battlefield games. BF2042 has none of that.

    Squads: Removing the ability to create squads or leave a squad to join another has been removed. What? This basic feature has been in almost every battlefield game. Why remove it?

    When I am in a squad I have no idea what they are bringing to the table. Did someone bring an ammo crate? Does someone have a way to deal with tanks? Is this person using a shotgun or sniper rifle? Can this person spawning on me repair my tank? I have no idea. I guess I can ask in squad chat or voice chat. (Oh wait, there is no voice chat!) Previous games had a simple yet brilliant user interface explanation of what load-out your squad was using. Some of you might say that because of the customization options we now have that it would be impossible to do that now. Another reason the 4-class system never should have left.

    Weapons: BF2042 has a total of 22 weapons and ONE rocket launcher. ONE! BF4 has 84 weapons including the SMAW, SRAW, MBT-LAW, RPG and two anti air launchers. What the hell happened? I feel very limited in my options for dealing with armor and air in this game.

    Maps: The maps are huge to better accommodate 128 people. I get it. However, what usually ends up happening are these pockets of chaos surrounded by vast nothingness. Usually when you are stranded in the middle of nowhere you can call in an air dropped vehicle but they are not always available. You’re almost better off suiciding and respawning than making the miles long trek to an objective.

    The tornadoes are also becoming a major nuisance rather than something to be feared. The distortion effect that it creates makes me wish I had the ability to just shut off the UI entirely.

    Bugs: The ragdolls on death are hilarious. The way your character rolls around on the ground like a turtle waiting for a revive looks silly. The end-game quips are cheesy and annoying. Persistence errors. Deathcam glitches out to show nothing. Rocket hits not registering. Revive bug where the only way out is to alt-f4. Aiming bug where cross-hair moves but your character doesn’t. The list goes on and on. This game was not ready for primetime.

    I was so looking forward to this game but BFV should’ve served as a warning of what’s to come. Battlefield has succumbed to **** aura which inevitably destroys everything EA touches.    … Expand

Oh no progression in portal either one of the biggest selling points gets boring quick because of this. Probably won't see any major changes for a year, maybe I'll give it another go in 2042.… Expand

    Absolute Trash.
    Ready to be put in the bin.

    This game wasn't supposed to be released in this condition, content is ZERO.
    Game modes? ZERO
    Infantry gameplay? ZERO
    OP Vehicles running all over the huge and empty maps? Too many.
    Portal game mode? Not giving any reward in XP or weapon advancement.

    Nothing else to say, just stay away.

    This is like a rotten corpse of previous battlefields, that has been put on for display and got punched countless times.
    Countless missing features, HUGE maps where even 128 players doesnt make a dent as you have to traverse empty fields with no cover from point to point.

    WHO asked for specialists??? They belong to the hazard zone which is extremely poorly executed and has been done better in other, well known games.
    Portal - when its not full of XP farms, you can get a glimpses of previous, much better battlefield games like tease of how much better they were ''screw you, look what amazing BFs you played before'' as there are only 2 maps for previous games.
    22 WEAPONS???? What were Dice doing for 3 years? 3 total pistols, 2 LMGS - what is this?? Attachments are idiotic - multiple different attachments that do the same thing, gives the same stats with different unlock requirmenets?
    Bullet spread is broken - SMGS is the only viable weapon as they shoot like lasers 100+ meters where Rifles become close to useless ( due to random, yes random bullet spread ) as of 25+ meters.

    This is wannabe Overwatch, Call of Duty, Fortnite cashgrab that they put as little effort as possible to sell us crap via store.

    There are countless other missing features, issues that it takes a freaking excel sheet to count and describe and this game is not worth that..

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, trust me, you will regret it after couple hours. Wait until Christmas when this failure will on sale for 20 bucks as thats max i would give it.    … Expand

    Depressing, just damn depressing...

    It's just not a Battlefield game as we know it (sorry Spock).

    It's possibly not even game by some definitions (no way to look at scores and compare to other's scores).

    Just depressing (shuffles away kicking the cat...).

    By far one of the worst shooters that I have played:

    Cons:
    - The only thing that matters in a FPS multiplayer game, the HIT REG, is atrocious sometimes bullets hit, sometimes u are 10cm near the enemy and nothing goes in them;
    - Rocket Launchers have the wild factor, being that they have moments when they decide not to explode on impact;
    - Respawn bugs, a ton of respawn bugs;
    - The Interface is trash;
    - The menus are, surprise, BUGGED;
    - The recoil patterns on weapons are garbage;
    - The Bullet trajectory looks broken as hell;
    - If I put a hamster on a wheel to power up my server, he would probably do a better job than their servers;
    - The animations are horrendous, on EVERYTHING;
    - The optimization is not there at all, the settings don't carry any weight in term of making your experience better (graphically or performance wise);
    - The 128 player idea, good on paper, really bad executed;
    - The progression is terrible.

    PROS:
    - None, like i really haven't found 1 good thing to keep me in the game.

    Do yourself a favor and don't buy this game, I haven't played a more broken game than this.
    This game needed at least 1 more year, guess the investors needed more money. I have no clue how it passed the QA and QC, being a multiplayer mode only and it being so broken makes me nervously laugh on how bad it actually is.    … Expand

    There's no proper scoreboard and no stats, which completely takes away the fun and competitive nature of the game.

    There's no global chat, which takes away the social aspect of this game. No more gg's after a good match, no more acknowledging someone after a nice kill or a dogfight, no more issuing weird challenges to the other team, no more discussing a new map or whatever. Now it's like playing against bots, not humans.

    There's no classes. I want to play as a generic soldier on a Battlefield, against other generic soldiers. Not as some cartoon character against other (mostly same looking) characters. This is a truly idiotic change.

    You can't choose squads either. I mean... I don't even... what? Who in their right mind would even implement a "system" like this?

    On top of all this, movement, gunplay, vehicles all feel off and very unlike previous games. Heli's and jets don't feel like you're flying (why didn't they just copy the dynamics from BF4 which was perfect?), gunplay is terrible, movement feels ridiculous... the list goes on and on.

    I don't even care about bugs at launch because I know they can be patched. However, this whole game seems to have been built by people who have no idea what the fanbase wants, and no idea what Battlefield has always been about.

    That's why this will be the first Battlefield I'm not buying. I had such high hopes for the game, but I don't think the game could be salvaged with patches (even if they tried, which they obviously won't).    … Expand

    **REFUNDED GOLD EDITION**

    I have played every single Battlefield game that has come out extensively and this is by far the WORST game in the Battlefield franchise I've EVER played. It's so disconnected from what a Battlefield game should be. Shallow, these **** specialists with no soul whatsoever, that satanic hovercraft, the maps, spawns.. I could go on forever it feels like! And as    **REFUNDED GOLD EDITION**

    I have played every single Battlefield game that has come out extensively and this is by far the WORST game in the Battlefield franchise I've EVER played. It's so disconnected from what a Battlefield game should be. Shallow, these **** specialists with no soul whatsoever, that satanic hovercraft, the maps, spawns.. I could go on forever it feels like! And as unexpected as ever the game is also very poorly optimized!I ran between 50-100 fps on all settings with a 3070ti and i711000k with huge drops whenever there was a firefight close by. DICE games has always been so smooth, even on lower spec computers, but this is just baffling.

    Oh and by the way; here's a list of all things missing in the game as of today:

    Core Features:
    -No single-player story
    -No standard server browser
    -Fewer standardized game modes (Can't even play TDM or smaller scale modes without relying on community servers. Really?)
    -Fewer base game maps than any other title (even including portal the map count is only 13)
    -No persistent lobbies (seriously why do I have to matchmake after EVERY round?)
    -Fewer in-game assignments (none outside of cosmetic unlocks)
    -No class system
    -Less character customization options (than BF5)
    -No profile progress/stats page in the menu
    -No battle log/stats tracker for other players
    -No global leader boards
    -No end of round assignment progress screen
    -No dog tags (they still sort of exist I guess?)
    -No custom emblems
    -Fewer achievements
    -No medals
    -No swelling crescendo of dramatic music near the end of a match (obviously -this is the most egregious of the list)
    -Less destruction (only a small handful of destructible buildings on each map)-
    -No map altering levolution (There sort of is but the maps are so big, anything that changes doesn't really affect how you -play)
    -No cross-game profile screen (BF 4, HL, 1, and V were all linked by a menu if you owned them digitally, was a neat feature.)
    -No spectator mode
    -No permanent community servers (would be useful for clans and events)

    Infantry Gameplay:
    -Fewer guns (even including all the portal guns, BF4 still had more at launch)
    -Fewer infantry gadgets
    -No manual leaning
    -No diving while swimming
    -No high wall vaulting
    -No crouch sprinting
    -No backwards prone
    -No explosion knockback
    -No rolling after falling from heights
    -No ammo or health pickup off teammates
    -No scope zeroing
    -No thermal optics
    -No indirect fire gadgets
    -Less anti-tank launchers (Come on man only one?)
    -No AP mines/claymores
    -No static weapon emplacements
    -No fortification building
    -No resupply stations
    -No suppression mechanic (This one I don't mind but I'm including everything)
    Scoring System: -No squad wipe scoring -No player damage points -No vehicle damage points -No vehicle kill assist points -No headshot bonus -No long-range kill bonus -No assist counts as kill bonus -No squad objective play bonus -Oversimplified teamplay scoring (i.e. healing a teammate always gives you +5xp rather than the amount of health you give) Squad and Teamwork: -No commander -No special squad call-in abilities -No squad field upgrades -No in-game VOIP -Fewer factions (with almost nothing to give the 2 factions any distinction) -No cross-team chat -No "create new squad" option -No "promote to squad leader" option -No clans -No view of squadmates while in the spawn screen -No "Medic incoming" indicator in downed state -No rank names/icons, just a number. UI and Quality of Life: -Less control customization options -Less UI customization options -No HUD/icon opacity customization -No HUD scaling customization options -No gunsight reticle customization options -No network performance graph -No individual player scoreboard -Less detail in the 'who killed you' screen -No ultrawide monitor support -Very poor friend joining system TLDR; Dont waste your money on this cash-grab.    … Expand

    All in all, Battlefield 2042 has been a real labour of love for me. The initial launch was remarkably underbaked, but I can’t deny the enjoyment that comes from firing a rocket launcher into a tornado. This may not be the best FPS multiplayer game available, and there are still plenty of issues that need ironing out, but there are occasionally some thrilling moments that you won’t be able to experience in the likes of Call of Duty or Fortinte. It remains frustrating having to pay full price for a multiplayer game, but if you’re already a fan of the franchise and don’t mind missing out on the campaign, you’ll likely enjoy yourself here. The nostalgic aspect of Portal mode will also draw fans in, and of course, the 4K graphics make it very pretty game, even if it has its cracks.

    The weakest first-person shooter in the history of DICE. Even, by some miracle, the studio manages to fix the most glaring mistakes and reanimate the abysmal netcode, this game will not become Battlefield at its core.

    Despite the promising Portal mode, Battlefield 2042, which uses players as a tester, still gives the impression of an incomplete game with its errors and important problems.
