Nov 19, 2021This game is half finished, performance is bad and its missing so many QoL features from previous titles. What an embarrassment.
-
Nov 19, 2021Unplayable mess.
Lag everywhere. Missing guns. Literally **** specialist with wacky abilities to attract the casuals . Huge maps with no cover to help all the tanks rack hundred of kills. We were lied to from ea. Sad day to us -
Nov 19, 2021EA delivers a broken game for full price and not satisfied still puts an overpriced season pass! Jesus EA! On mid-end PC the game performance sucks and that's what the biggest part of the users have.
-
Nov 19, 2021Never played a game that runs this bad. So many bugs. Soooo porly optimized. Dont support Dice on this one. They should not be allowed to release a game in this state.

Nov 19, 2021Failed attempt to take COD players and left the Battlefield fans on the sidelines still waiting for a true Battlefield game. We all hope for fresh modern Battlefield title true to the franchise, but we all really knew that they would let us down. I hope they make some serious changes, otherwise I am done supporting this nonsense.

Nov 19, 2021Shame for this franchise.
Very disappointed.
Do not buy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0/20 -
Nov 19, 2021You took away years of perfection from previous battlefield titles and gave us this garbage. DO NOT buy this game. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
-
Nov 19, 2021This game has nothing to do with Battlefield. The game feels like an unfinished battle royale with a UI designed for phones.
-
Nov 19, 2021Как всегда говно. Живём в эпоху, когда инди студии (а иногда и разработчик) выпускают игру быстрее, качественнее и дешевле! :D

Nov 19, 2021Not a real battlefield game. Lacks any direction, ambiance, or cohesion. Missing features, imbalanced, and the specialist system was a terrible choice. Buggy, terrible server tickrate, awful hit detection. Do not buy.

Nov 19, 2021An absolute travesty of a game. Graphics look good, but this game plays like a half baked Chinese mobile knock off. This should be the death of the battlefield series, if you can even call it a battlefield game.
-
Nov 19, 2021DICE could eat my **** and kiss my ass. A piece of **** I've ever seen before
-
Nov 19, 2021Bad Bad bad. Not stable. Bad graphic. Bad Sound. High PC GPU and CPU requirement. Glitches, soooo many glitches. The dev needs to fix this game, it is not a AAA game at the current stage!!! Not even a good and enjoyable game at this stage.

Nov 19, 2021Tone-deaf developers, this will be the last Battlefield game I ever purchase. At least Activision listens to their consumer base
-
Nov 19, 2021Horrible, the worst battlefield i've ever played... so much regretions
The sound, graphics, gameplay, battlefield identity, specialist... all is very bad. -
Nov 19, 2021沒看過這麼糟糕的優化
3080ti開2K還會掉FPS到6X
放棄了戰地5就為了做出這坨狗屎

Nov 19, 2021This game was not ready to be released and took away the core of battlefield which was the classes . This results in the game being a dysfunctional mess . The only good part about this game is portal
-
Nov 19, 2021Wtf Dice? You blew it last time by having an African American nazi with a prosetic arm beating a Japanese soldier with a cricket bat last, you even canned bf5 to work on this project and then you guys go and release this with over a year of development left to complete. This is worse than BF4 and I wonder if you guys will ever finish this junk or just can it like bf5.

Nov 20, 2021Lost a lot of features from bf 5. Try to stole a lot of features from other games. As result they give us Frankenshtein monster without any concept.
Gunplay - ****
Maps design - ****
Team play - ****
Your suggestions what they do ****ty here… -
Nov 20, 2021Total joke. I only paid 45€ for standard edition and still feel cheated. Anyone defending this practice is a soulless corporate lackey.
-
Nov 22, 2021BF2042 is dead on arrival, only fanboys and pre-order simps will like it. another EA screw up.

Nov 20, 2021Do not buy, waste of money. So many missing features, broken game. Unstable and unoptimised.
-
Nov 20, 2021A game that sucks so badly that you want to go to the trouble of creating an metacritic account to neglect it.
If it were at least lighter and didn't have fatal bugs, I'd give it a 5/10. -
Nov 20, 2021It's like the old BF3/4 days of infantry fighting is dead, the gun game is terrible and vehicles are overpowered to say the least. Any vehicle will easily take 3 or more rockets to destroy, and with a turret on basically everything, you get destroyed.
Generally unenjoyable unless you like sitting in a helicopter shooting ants. -

Nov 20, 2021Absolute garbage. Embarrassing that EA got DICE to release such an unfinished, rushed piece of **** game. It could have been good if it wasn't so buggy and broken and unpolished. I thought people were exaggerating about how bad it is but the bad reviews are warranted. Not worth the price. I've been playing BF since 1942 and this is by far the worst one ever made.
-
Nov 20, 2021everything we use to enjoy about BF games has been removed in an attempt for EA to cash in on the little kiddy money. expect the game to soon be flooded with skins

Nov 20, 2021Don't waste your money. They had their blindfolds on the 3 years they spent making this "game". Thanks for killing a franchise millions of us loved for two decades.
-
Nov 23, 2021This game does not deserve to live under the Battlefield umbrella..
Cringe operators and 0 feel, I would be happier if they closed it down for 6 months and made another game out of this without this **** **** they have covered the game in. -
Nov 20, 2021Literally unplayable due to performance issues on a **** 1070.
Next to all the missing and broken game stuff itself. -
Nov 20, 2021I've played BF since BF 1942 and this is a disgusting abortion of a game. Runs badly on a 3080ti, I can barley see who I'm supposed to be shooting at. Feels like I'm either just running or dyeing. Classes are crap and pointless, no team play. This game is made by morons that only play Fortnite or COD.
-
Nov 20, 2021On day one of the launch I cant even make it to the main menu of the game let alone play it. Another cash grab/ well fix the bugs and issues later from EA. Boooooooooo you're terrible at your jobs

Nov 20, 2021The WORST BF game ever made. They didn’t even try. I’ve been a huge BF fan since the beginning. This is a steaming pile of broken garbage
-
Nov 20, 2021This shouldn't even be considered a battlefield game. It does not resemble battlefield in any way, shape, or form. Stay far away from this, especially since they're charging people 100s of dollars for this unfinished bs.

Nov 20, 2021Oh boy! What a stinker. The new weapon setup system is the most unintuitive thing I've ever seen, the UI is terrible, the gameplay is so boring, the maps are bad, the controls are somehow terrible, the servers are a mess and there is no campaign or story line... What is this rushed pile of crap?

Its not a Battlefield series its a joke -

Nov 21, 2021This game is a bargain. 90 eur for the early gameplay which is unplayable because of bugs. Do not recommend
-
Nov 21, 2021There are so many core design flaws with this game that it can never be fixed with patches. The sheer lack of content for a 60$ game is disheartening. 7 maps,nothing, which vast flat lands of nothing, there is almost no environment destruction and only 22? Guns. Oh, and no scoreboard.

Nov 21, 2021Normaly i like battlefield but this you cn't kill anyone because you have a disperse bullets
-
Nov 21, 2021This isn't a BF game. It's like a poor Home Front clone and that had to be one of the most uninspiring FPS games ever. The graphics are PS2/3 era and the atmosphere is non-existent.
I've been a BF fan since the very first instalment but this game is so far departed it's not funny.
BF is dead! -

Nov 21, 2021Truly a sad development after BF1 and BFV. Don't spend your money on this game, just try one of the older titles instead.

Nov 21, 2021Básicamente no hay juego.
3 modos:
1 correr-matar-morir-repetir
2 Battleroyale pero no lo llamamos asi
3 modo personalizable, pero que cerramos para que no subas de nivel rápido...
Lo peor es que lo que vimos en la beta es básicamente lo que es el juego de 60€. Yo lo he devuelto y no recomiendo su compra. -

Nov 23, 2021Battlefield Chernobyl should've been the name of the game, this game has nothing that makes it feel like a Battlefield, simply nothing.

Nov 21, 2021Broken, buggy, hard crashes, this should NOT be the standard in 2021, not after disastrous lunches like Cyberpunk 2077. Selling a game and fixing it in within 12-18 months is not the way. Gamers should not tolerate this

Играю со времён bf1942, и это худшее что могло случиться с серией. Не тратьте своё время и деньги на это, эту часть могут спасти годы доработок, патчей, дополнений -
Nov 22, 2021It is alpha version in my opinion.
It has nothing to do with Battlefield.
Performance and optimization is awful. Game is unplayable. -

Nov 22, 202122 guns
no scoreboards
no stats
bugs
only team chat
f***ing specialist
cant switch teams
random spray
BulIshet unlocking system
music hurts your ears and the UI rape your eyes
constant crash with 3070 and latest driver
Fallout76 Cyberpunk2077 and now battlefield 2042 taught me one thing: never pre-order a game with big numbers in its name -
Nov 22, 2021Doesn’t know what it wants to be. At least BFV for how flawed it was had a functional core experience. There is essentially nothing redeemable about this game without redesigning it completely. Remove 128p modes, give us maps that are actually playable.

Nov 22, 2021Dice need to fix this game, I'm one of new Battlefield fan, Waiting for BF2042 so long and this game disappoint me so bad.
-
Nov 22, 2021There is no Metro 2042, besides all of the others complaints, hence easily 0/10.
-
Nov 22, 2021Worst game of the series, absolutely baffling.
- Awful and super quiet sound, a complete disrespect to it's predecessor Battlefield 3
- No UI scaling, looks like complete garbage on 4K systems
- No scoreboards
- No classes
- No destruction
- No servers
- No stats
- No chat -

Nov 22, 2021No graphic next Gen. Team change not possible on PS5. No team play. Balancing not good. Game not finish

Feb 15, 2022All 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.
-
Dec 23, 2021The 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.
-
Dec 16, 2021Despite 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.
