    Don’t really know where to start. Everyone’s already said most of it. On console the aiming controls feel way off, the scaling of the game makes every one seem small and far away. Flight controls are clunky and slow. Guns and attachment variety leaves much to be desired.

    Been playing Battlefield since I was a little one back with BF1942. And this sure as heck is not a Battlefield game.

Whatever the case the Battlefield franchise is for the worse with BF2042.

    The maps are way, way too large for the player count. The increase in player count does not matter at all when the maps are absolutely enormous. There is little to no cover between objectives. Remember when you'd capture a point and head with your squad to another objective all stealthy like in the bushes or a trench? Yeah .. that does not exist in this game. At all. Due to the lack of any cover you pretty much spawn and die constantly.

    I could go on and on with a list like how there's currently no voice chat, the horrible specialist system, complete void of any squad based gameplay, the lack of weapons, vehicles being truly overpowered, etc., etc., but I will not as there are many other reviewers that have covered that. All I can say is, as I stated at the beginning, is this is not Battlefield. It may have the name, but it ain't the BF you know and love.    … Expand

    Does this game have issues? Yes. I’d like to see a normal scoreboard and I’m not a fan of the blooming I’m seeing with the guns at longer ranges. But, am I having a blast? Also yes. This game is tons of fun. The way I see it, they fix these issues (and others) and we will have a truly awesome game on our hands.

The devs said they cut the single player campaign to focus on the multiplayer and honestly this game feels so under developed. The most annoying issue so far is that the servers are constantly crashing and lag is in every game. I don't know why the devs decided to make their games this way. Everything that made Battlefield into the powerhouse that it was seems like it is missing.

    Wow this game sucks. I meet the recommened specs and still have 40fps, with the game stuttering every 10 seconds.

    It also doesn‘t feel like a real war. It glorifies violence. War in a collapsing world is portrayed as something cool.

    A massive disservice to the Battlefield franchise that was focused on cooperation. Certain new elements are cool and noteworthy, but as others on the internet have said, this reeks of a scrapped battle royale game.

    Flat boring maps.

    Control remapping does not work.

    Bullet spread does NOT follow gun aim during recoil, but rather it is random and comically extreme, with bullets going everywhere but where the gun is actually pointed. Note that this is not a player aiming skill issue, the issue is that bullets are randomly shot off in directions other than where the gun is actually pointing, irrespective of how good your aim is. Although it is true that some deviation is expected, even for perfect aim in real life shooting, the amount of deviation in BF2042 bullet spread is comically extreme. You've heard of gun accuracy being measured in MOA or sub-MOA? BF2042 gives you gun accuracy in the tens of degrees!!! It is unusably broken to the point where player aim doesn't even factor into the equation.

    Lobby disbands after each match and goes back into searching for a lobby, so you don't get to play with the same people. Is this because EA cheaped out on server capacities and thus this gives everyone a fairer share of play vs waiting to play? As opposed to letting everyone play, with little waiting time, if they'd had enough servers with enough capacity?

    Getting spawned into the death animation is so much fun!

    Vehicles are being used to spawn trap kill, because of poor map design.

    No campaign, to focus on multiplayer and THIS is what we get!?!?!?

    BF3 remains the last good BF release. Since its part of the Portal mode, its also the best part of this game, together with Bad Company 2, but the bad hit detection and overall technical state even destroy this experience. And not only is this a buggy mess, also the design choices are really bad. Specialist destroy the classic BF gameplay. DON'T BUY IT.

    Im going to make this a review without going on about how DICE, its support studios and EA are the worst. I have nothing against the people who have spent massive amounts of hours to make this game, I just want to give my opinion on the game.
    apologies if my sentences aren't perfect, English isn't my native language. :)
    first off, I've been a fan of this franchise since I was 7 years    Im going to make this a review without going on about how DICE, its support studios and EA are the worst. I have nothing against the people who have spent massive amounts of hours to make this game, I just want to give my opinion on the game.
    apologies if my sentences aren't perfect, English isn't my native language. :)

    first off, I've been a fan of this franchise since I was 7 years old, I'm 23 now. I've like nearly every single release, except for maybe V (except for movement) and now most recently, 2042.

    I've loved how the franchise that I love have moved forward and the movement being less and less static, gunplay being more responsive. learning vouzoiu and zouzou on bf4 was a fun challenge too.
    anyway, my thoughts on 2042 (so far)

    I spent a good amount of time in the beta, that was supposedly a few months old, and according to lots of fans in the community it was all going to be fixed for release. didn't work out great, huh?
    the official release is on the 19th but EA and DICE are selling access to the game already. If you're willing to take my money (even more than standard price if youre not using EA Play) to play your product im going to judge it as if it was fully released.

    Beta was broken, but I managed to put in around 10-15 hours even with the poor performance and almost drowning in bugs.

    around comes "early access" that we're playing now, and credit where credit is due, many bugs have been fixed. elevators work, the sound is better, explosions looks a lot better, the UI isn't as ugly, but its just not enough.

    * lets start with specialists, while it's a nice idea and something I actually would really like. I miss not being able to play as my gender in bf4 and only being able to play as a male for example. the problem for me is that it's not done right here, at all. I think that for most people BF have been about being a soldier among other soldiers, working together to overcome the enemy.

    that's not the case in 2042, specialists are made out to almost be like superheroes and not needing anyone but themselves. They have too much character, they're good at everything and aren't restricted by class. I can be a medic Specialist with a healing pistol but also bring an RPG into the fight. there are no classes left.
    by doing this, I cant tell who's going to be able to give me heals or ammo when running up to them, this was easy in the previous titles, I knew instantly who was a medic or support in BF3 for example, a game that was released in 2011.

    * Teamwork.
    I don't know what to say, it feels like DICE just wanted to rid BF of its identity. there's next to no teamwork here. reviving is clunky, I dont know who's a support or a medic because there are no classes, I don't know if anyone is coming to revive me, healing and helping your team doesnt give nearly enough xp, so you're not really motivated to risk your life to rush to the other side to heal your teammates.

    *UI/UX/settings
    where to begin? what happened here? the UI is surprisingly bad. how did we go from BF3/4/1/V, to this? I get F2P vibes when looking at it, doesnt feel finished at all. there's no indicator in the UI for what firemode I'm on, I cant resize my map, I cant change opacity of the objectives on the map, some settings do not work (crosshairs) and some are just missing (direct x12)

    * Maps
    We got 7 base game maps in total for release, who are all big and focus a lot on vehichles. not one map or mode for the people that enjoy infantry over large scale battles. disappointing.
    I feel like the maps are okay, at best. they're too big imo, even for 128 players and there's not nearly enough spots to hide. you're always getting shot at. the flow isn't there.

    * Performance
    Shockingly poor across most, if not all platforms. Im on PC so that's what ill be focusing since I cant speak for my friends on the console side.
    lowering the presets to low doesnt seem to do much, or anything at all. I dropped my settings from high, to everything low on 1080p on my mid-spec system, I messed around in the config file and gained around 15-20FPS total. going from 25FPS avg, to around 45-50avg. When its not chugging along at under 60, its stuttering, slowing down, or teleporting me back and forth. Other games doesnt teleport me, using fiber with 100/100 uncapped.

    * Misc/QoL
    Spread/bloom. - random bullet deviation.
    Mouse Input not consistent
    No server browser for main game
    lobby disbands after every match
    no squad management - cant join/create/leave/lock during games
    no scoreboard
    no all chat - let me choose if i want to see or hide the chat like in previous titles.
    gun customization UI messy
    Soundscape completely broken
    UI/UX customization severely lacking
    Spawns broken
    Specialists - theyre not faction specific.
    No Incentive for teamplay
    lackling destruction

    I had more to say but im at the limit. thank you for taking your time to read about my thoughts on the game. :) please dont harass devs :)    … Expand

    With a bittersweet taste in my mouth I left the game in hope to one day return to the beloved franchise I've recently discovered. Waited 3 years and Much to my surprise the very last chance they had to keep their fans went down the drain...

    Playing the beta, I did not feel that "battlefield" feeling with teamplay and the atmosphere that I felt with Battlefield 1 had. Even if I tried to like Battlefield V it also lacked the atmosphere, even if teamplay at least were there. I thought, maybe it's just in my head.
    Head back to Bf 1 and I felt the Battlefield feeling from the first game when I started the game.
    But then I thought I would give the full game chance.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A Battlefield game this is not.

    It feels like some F2P Chinese knock-off of COD and it plays just as bad.

    It has zero Battlefield "feel" and no soul whatsoever. The specialist system is a joke. You have 128 players running around aimlessly as 1 of 8 clones with their goofy gadgets.

    You have factionless mercenaries fighting for factions? LOL, ok. At least give them uniforms.

    Whomever thought it was a good idea to get rid of the class system needs to be fired.

    Other cons:
    No scoreboard
    No chat
    Nauseating voice acting and cut scenes
    No Battlefield music
    Hit reg is terrible
    Lack of weapons
    Unstable servers
    Graphics not optimized No class system
    Aircraft fly like bricks
    No server browser
    Dumped to random lobby after every match
    Only 2 countries involved in a world conflict?
    No single player
    No practice range

    This game needs a lot of patches and a ton of polish but a Battlefield game it will never be.    … Expand

    This is the worst battlefield release in existence. The game is not finished at all. It feels like 90% of the features which have been included in every battlefield game in the past are completely gone. The only new 'feature' is the 128 player count. Which honestly makes the game even worse.

    I've played just about every battlefield for some time now. I really want to like this game but I just don't think I can.

The sound effects, foot steps, and overall environment SFX is just lackluster and missing something.    I've played just about every battlefield for some time now.

    Limited immersion maps are too big even for 128, not enough game modes out of the box (yes I know portal..)
    No squad voice chat.
    The specialist just don't work, it's like large scale Apex legends without the stakes or impact. They load out system further pushes players to build for themselves and not team comp that changes as the match goes on.
    The gun play doesn't feel good at all and is completely inconsistent as well as there being an extremely limiting amount. I'm willing to bet that's so they can excite people with new weapon delivery releases similar to BFV etc..
    There's no scoreboard so there's no incentive to have top score or perform. I get toxicity avoidance but score board helps motivate squads to get those extra points as a squad to be the top not just kill farmers!

    Portal is just a watered down version of the previous games with a crap engine. I'd rather just go play them? I hope this helps I think it has alot of potential but right now underwhelming.

    What the heck happened to bullet drop in battlefield games since BF4?!?

    Lots of problems with assigning keybindings to air vehicles and impossible to make it similar to older versions.

This feels like a last second thrown together mess that misses many key features from past games. Features like the improved movement mechanics from battlefield V have since been downgraded or outright removed for no explanation and have been replaced with floaty fast arcady movements that are blatantly trying to rip off call of duty. Guns handle poorly and gunfights past 25m are next to impossible. Given that the maps are incredibly giant, flat, boring open spaces with no cover, expect many boring pointless gunfights with inaccurate weapons. Speaking of maps, maps are hugs empty arenas with next to no cover so vehicles can decimate you with little to no effort…. That’s if you can get ahold of a vehicle given that there’s 64 players per team and maybe 6 vehicles if you’re lucky. Destruction, a major component to what makes battlefield great, is next to nothing on the new maps. You can blow out walls here or there but that basically it. If you were looking for destruction like past battlefield games prepare to be disappointed. The only decent destruction comes from the classic maps in the new portal mode. There’s a new mode called hazard zone but it’s a soulless copy of other games that do it better and was clearly just created to salvage what was left of the br game they were clearly making this game to be. The only redeeming mode is portal, which gives players the tools to create their own battlefield experiences with assets from previous games. It genuinely is a fantastic mode that brings back so classic favorites. Overall I’m disappointed with this game, it’s lacking feature list that’s been improved upon up until this point has been scrapped for a more arcady monetize-able experience. DICE has a long way to go in bringing features back to make this feel like a battlefield game again, but until then I recommend passing and waiting a few months to see how they support the game. But given their past record of giving up and moving on, I wouldn’t hold my breath for those required changes to actually come.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Basic features of the Battlefield Franchise have been stripped away or removed entirely. I won't list them, you can find that info all over. The game has been buggy and difficult to play. It performs poorly on even high-end PCs.

    Aside from the missing basic features and bugs, there is a general lack of content. Battlefield 3's DLC ALONE offered more content than all of Battlefield 2042 has.

    This feels like a game that was not developed to be a Battlefield game, but was switched back at the last minute. I am not sure the Dev's have played a past Battlefield game. Sure doesn't feel like it.

    The Portal mode is the only saving grace and is a cool concept, so that's why they still get 2 points from me here.

    Listing all issues with this game is a bit pointless, you can google them or go to reddit/watch some videos. If you feel adventerous, play the game yourself although i do not recommend it. Main issues are:

    Performance on a high end PC is just abysmal, low average FPS with constant drops and stutters, so heavy on CPU usage it bottlenecks everything no matter what your specs are. Most of the video settings make no difference, DLSS doesnt really help.

    Map design for the most part is terrible, maps are large but empty so playing as 128 people is not really fun, there's little cover so infantry gameplay is next to non existent apart from the few buildings. And even these buildings feel empty and uninspiring. Also, shipping containers everywhere.

    Gunplay is just plain bad, artifically adding bloom to weapons make you shot people but not really hit them, even point blank. Vehicle controls and physics are clunky and pretty tilting. 22 weapons are only available to unlock, mod system is very flat and doesnt really allow for much. There's no teamplay cause everyone is a superhero specialist (looking exactly the same so it's hard to tell who's on your team and who isn't).

    UI and HUD has to be the worst I've seen in a long while, I'm sorry but whoever was the UI Designer either never played a game in his/her life (battlefield even more so) or its their first assignment in their career. In-game there's visual clutter everywhere.

    Server stability is a big issue, Portal has great potential but no dedicated servers or reasonable search/filter/favorites UI make it a terrible experience to use.

The scoreboard is missing...Again, why? Specialists really do not belong to this game. 22 guns at launch? The only good thing I could say about this game, it is portal amazing, but its content is very limited. This is not a game you can play for years. I have been a bf fan since BF3, but I really can't defend this game. It is such a mess. It is like BF lost its identity.


    The thing I hate the most is those YouTubers hyping up this game. They are either in EA's payroll or playing a different game cuz this game is far away from the battlefield I grow with and love.    … Expand

    Just about everything feels like a downgrade compared BF1 or 5. It’s ****

    maps

    gunplay

    game audio

    movement

    specialists/classes

    soundtrack

    downed screen (seriously, why are there no revive distances)

    squad screen

    amount of guns

    amount of vehicles

    lobbies

    stats

    leaderboard

    vehicle/character/weapon customisation

    melee kills

    HUD

    server browser

    general ambiance and atmosphere

    Where to even begin.

    The core game, All Out Warfare, is barely playable (when you can actually get into a server). It crashes a lot. There are only a handful of weapons per class. Game-breaking bugs galore like getting stuck in a downed state and having to quit the match. There are many other game-ending bugs. The gun handling has been ruined by the introduction of random spread since    Where to even begin.

The gun handling has been ruined by the introduction of random spread since the beta. For some reason the SMGs perform better at range than the ARs because of this.

    Portal would be the saving grace, but it suffers from many of the same bugs. Noshar Canals on Rush is broken - in the match I played, spawning on teammates didn't work so one team was just stuck on the carrier. My friend kept getting the stuck in downed state bug so we were having to constantly leave matches. I would crash to desktop and not be able to join back.

    This is really sad because I love Battlefield and want it to do well. There's nothing quite like it on the market. I worry about how many times can DICE f*ck it up before EA pulls the plug :(

    I bought the Gold Edition and ended up getting a refund because in its current state, the game is barely playable, and the lack of weapons or progression (even unlocking new attachments is bugged) meant I wasn't bothered to put up with all of the bugs to try to play.

    Seriously DICE, you ended support for Star Wars and BFV for this?? What have you been doing?
    The Beta was incredibly buggy but at least loads of fun. SInce they f*cked the gunplay by adding all the random spread, it's not even fun anymore. Don't buy.    … Expand

    This game is hilariously unfinished.

    Terrible hit detection, game breaking bugs, bad maps, awful UI, cringe-inducing operator quips, no campaign, no real progression/rewards, etc etc. It feels seriously hollow with barely anything to do, hence why there's going to be a season pass with awful and probably extremely overpriced microtransactions (thanks Fortnite).

It's also pretty clear that they wanted this to be a battle royale entry too. Random operators, skins, obviously season pass, armor plates (these are criminally overpowered), absurdly large maps (Hourglass is run through the desert simulator), odd animations when you're downed, no scoreboard, no server browser, no map choosing, throwing you out of the lobby after every game, etc.

    Weapons also have bloom which is the strangest thing I think they could have chosen for an FPS. For a game like Fortnite or any third person entry, that is somewhat understandable, but an FPS like Battlefield should not have RNG gunfights.

    If you are considering buying this game, do not. It is soulless and hollow and I would imagine is going to be dead in about a month. The season pass is being added in 2022 and by then I don't think they'll be able to get the original player numbers back.

    This game missed the mark on nearly everything. DMR's have terrible accuracy and every gunfight is RNG since there is so much bloom on weapons. Vehicles are ridiculously overpowered in this game. Lag is very bad, performance is very bad, not a lot of weapons. Nothing to strive for really besides skins which no one cares about. Overall, the game feels uninspired.

    My concern are not the bugs & issues, Battlefield in the first couple of months always had those, my biggest concern and disappointment is how much they damaged the core mechanics & formula of Battlefield that made it always stand out among competition.

    Battlefield is about teamwork (and they did a great job with improving that to a great extent with BF5) but they decided to drop all of that, drop classes and turn it into mindless sandbox shooter and the mentality of lone-wolf rambos.

    A good example on bad design, there's a gadget slot that let's you either choose a rocket launcher or repair torch, who would abandon rocket torch or ammo or health box in favor of repair torch?! So good luck finding anyone out there fixing your tank.
    That's one example and i can count tons more (tanks controls feel bad and inferior to BF5, you feel like you continuously struggle with movement and inferior to BF5, maps way too open with no flow and feel soulless, everyone gets every weapons which makes everyone running around with 2 - 3 OP guns and ignoring everything else and damaging balance, dropped many great features from BF5 ....etc).

    Everyone was hoping for modern warfare game built on the great elements brough in BF5 with the setting of BF4/BF5 and they promised that they will listen to the community and work with them yet we got a Frankenstein monster that feels too chaotic, flat without any tactical depth and all just about running as a lone-wolf and shooting anything that moves with no sense to overall progress of the battle.

    I, as a huge Battlefield fan since BF1942, am extremely disappointed with the outcome and it's obviously we veterans or longtime fans are no longer Dice's target audience and they're attempting to attract the audience of other games making the game feel like COD:MW Ground War 2.0.    … Expand

    And since both teams share the same specialists well you end up seeing clones of yourself and teammates left and right. It's really bad.

    Lots of basic features missing like a scoreboard, squad voice chat, being able to switch squad/team, being able to tell downed teammates that you're coming to rez them. Weapon customization is barebones, BF4 was way better in that regard. And a crap ton more but you get the gist, they rushed the game and didn't learn anything from previous games.

    All that being said I'm still somewhat having fun when things go well, there's definitely something there but the game should've been delayed at least another 6 months. Don't buy it right now, wait at least a few months, but I don't really expect them to pull another BF4 where the game ends up being great after a bunch of updates. They abandoned BFV after only a year because it didn't sell well so that's not reassuring.    … Expand

Gunplay simply doesn't feel good, the only thing really worth using is the sniper, so that's fun for nobody.

    On top of that you have to large maps which lacks content, an awful UI which makes no sense, the lack of QOL features like a FPS cap, eg. in the menu. Oh right, there is no voice chat, which shows how beta this game still is. Yes you read that right, there is no voice chat in a multiplayer shooter game, which has modes that requires team communication.

    Where is the scoreboard? Why can't you crawl when dead? Why doesn't revive works if a player is to close to an object? Why can't players see when a medic is nearby? Where are the destruction of buildings, like we had in the last 3-4 games? Where are the guns and where are the fun guns? The list goes on of features that are lacking, which were present in earlier BF games. The game is not ready for release, not even close.

    Pretty much the only positive addition is Hazard Zone, which could be fun, specially when you have unlocked a proper loadout, just a shame you have to grind in boring modes to really do that.

    At least we have a fun and great campaign like the earlier... oh wait there is no campaign. But at least it's cheaper, oh wait nope still full price.

Since all teamplay features have been removed anyways, even specialist follow the design philosophy of solo play. All of them are selfish as **** and there is little incentive to be a team player with the lack of rewards for actually helping other players.
    Vehicles are both **** to control and hilariously busted. Why does a ****ty hoverboat out of rubber take 5 antitank rounds to destroy, when it can move at mach 5 while ignoring gravity (see a video of it climbing buildings in hourglass). All vehicles regen health passively, there is pretty much no risk of dying if you have higher IQ than room temperature.

    Hazard zone is just a barebones spin on battle royale. Expect it to be dead quicker than BFV firestorm. Portal is cool, but the laggy ass movement of 2042 exists in portal aswell. The guns also suffer from the same random inaccuracy as the base version guns. With only 2 maps of each respective omage game. It's really not enough to save the package.

    The game runs like absolute dog**** even on a 3080 / r5 5600x setup. It's buggy, laggy and the hitreg is busted.

    SKIP THIS GAME. Maybe buy it in 2 years if it's playable, but so many core features are either missing or fundamentally ****ed up. I doubt Dice will ever be able to make this game actually decent, like they eventually managed with BFV. BFV might not be perfect, but it still miles ahead of this soulless ****heap of a game.    … Expand

    In-game, the game is great.
    There are loooots of bugs but it's playable and enjoyable overall.
    BUT there are REAL problem about UI/UX. The weapon customization is unnecessarily complicated, we can't see fire mode when not in ADS, , can't change opacity of HUD elements, no scoreboard, no stats, etc. There is also a huge lack of content for a battlefield. number of weapon and maps is    In-game, the game is great.

    PLEASE rework your UI/UX, add weapons and map (for free please, I bought this 80 bucks for 5 new maps and 20 weapons only) and everything will be good.    … 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.
