    Maps are way too small. And no one's is talking about it. The smallest map should be the size 10 hamada to accommodate for absolutely insane 128 players , crazy number indeed. Very good thing they got rid class system. Its always a good idea to get rid systems that are core to your somewhat successful franchise.

Also hit reg very good. Only takes me one clip to NOT kill an enemy because dumping 31 rounds into him, he turns around and kills me.

    Worst experience ever... This game is full of bugs and the optimization is null... Graphics bugs, gunfight feeling close to 0, no scoreboards, no chat, 0 realism. I bought this game 50 bucks, god...

    Also, the animation is poor, no revive animation (shame in 2021...)

    Come on more or less Specialist Fewer bugs will be fixed in month, two but I can't understand that there is no HARDCORE mode.

    Also horribly optimized (getting between 30-50fps, with it dropping randomly even if nothing is happening on screen. running a 3080ti on ultra and the game doesn't even look THAT great. This is the case even after the day 1 nvidia drivers). Theres maybe one great new map, the rest of them are uninspired and not that fun tbh.

You can tell why this game is just around 50GB on PC, as it barely has any assets to begin wtih. The DLC maps from BF4 such as Sunken Dragon have more details than any of the base game 2042 maps.

I'm a software developer; trust me if I say, that most of those bugs will still not be fixed in a year. In software development process, you would start from scratch if you messed it up like they did. No chance of reparing that. There must be some fundamental questionable architectural decision. I only wanted a Battlefield 3 or 4 with state of the art architecture. But they messed it up like they never did before. Even Vanguard is a better game...

    Sterile & boring graphics, being forced to use crappy DX12, too many BF features just missing, the mouse aim bug, overall performance... Did anyone do some serious playtesting before releasing this?

    Too many features missing from previous BF games while it feels more and more like a CoD game.

    Dice ain't the studio that gave us BF3/4 anymore. Too many of the good devs left. It's a heartless game.

    It is fun to play in a full squad, like all other BF before. but this fells like just a Beta. There are so many things that have to be changed. read all the other revievs and listen, i am just sad that they spit on their fanbase like that.

    Gunplay is just abysmal, time to kill is not what you would expect on a BF game. Maps are dead and lifeless. Classes are so badly thought out, why can pretty much anyone use an RPG? Where is the Balance in that?

    Feels nothing like a Battlefield game, its just cr**. Not sure how much longer this series can last with Devs that clearly do not listen to the community (Again)
    Genuinely a very sad state of affairs now. Should be pretty ashamed of themselves really.
    Should tell anyone looking in that Portal is the best part, why, because you can play the BF games that actually were good.
    I love Battlefield and was so hopeful for this. But alas, its just dismal. Actually makes me really quite sad.

    Everything is bad in this game. I don't even know where to start: from the technical part, from the game design/level design/sound design, balance, UI?.. everything is bad.

    An example from the technical part. I reinstalled the operating system and was unable to start the BF2042. I was getting an error related to visual studio. Even after manually installing the x64 and x86 packages,    Everything is bad in this game. I don't even know where to start: from the technical part, from the game design/level design/sound design, balance, UI?.. everything is bad.

    An example from the technical part.
    I reinstalled the operating system and was unable to start the BF2042. I was getting an error related to visual studio. Even after manually installing the x64 and x86 packages, the problem was not resolved. The problem was solved only after installing and running BFV.
    Several times after launching, I was getting the death screen. And no, I have no system or hardware problems. I have a brand new i9 12900K, 32GB 5200Mhz DDR5, RTX 2080ti, Windows 10 x64.
    In the middle of a match, the game crashed with a DirectX error. I reinstalled the video drivers, manually installed the latest DirectX package from the Microsoft site - it didn't help.

    I am using the "ADS Field of View" setting and when I use the sniper scope, the zoom stops working, and to fix this I have to change the scope and back on the fly.
    The animations of shooting, running, reloading BROKEN. At the moment of running, the animation breaks and the model simply slides over the surface.
    Hitboxes work oddly. In fact, there are only two hitboxes: head and body, and they are poorly made: the hitboxes are larger than the model itself. The damage in the arm and stomach/chest is almost the same.
    It often happens that these hitboxes do not work at all: you can shred your opponent with bullets, but the expected result will not be achieved.
    Vehicles can ride on walls. When jets crash into buildings (for example, on the hourglass map), nothing happens.
    Flight transport controls are broken. The controls are poorly configured, and if the behavior of ground vehicles is perceived as + - normal, then the behavior of the flight transport is simply disgusting.
    And if we have already started talking about tanks: why, for example, the speed of a tank turret when turning from the first and third person is different (mouse control)? it looks terrible.
    When I try to create my server in Portal, the ping is ~200. #TF?

    Now for game design.
    It seems to me that abandoning classes was a mistake. I think that the distribution of roles on the battlefield was (and is) one of the key elements of the Battlefield series, and it is also a hallmark of the Battlefield series. It was a deviation into tactics, and not into a senseless war of headless chickens, which BF2042 is now, unfortunately.
    The developers were even too lazy to assign specialists specifically to Russians and Americans. Russians and Americans have the same specialists. This is perceived, to put it mildly, strange.
    And in order to somehow navigate this madness, the developers were forced to attach red and green markers to the model. Imagine that the army of country N decided to attach markers to its soldiers to make it easier for the enemy to trace them on the battlefield. It's nonsense.
    Now specialists.
    These are not military specialists, they are clowns. They look awful and pretentious, talk and behave like 16-year-olds who have not known life, children!
    For example, a "Sundance". Even the name of this "military specialist" is already causing mixed feelings. What is this nose piercing? what are these pretentious hairstyles? where have you seen such a military specialist? She also has a tattoo on her face. Oh, God!
    She's a third-wave feminist! She is NOT a military specialist!

    The balance is terrible and completely broken.
    SMGs and marksman rifles are fully dominant. Vehicles, especially hovercraft, this is a legal cheat - very fast, very "fat", can ride on walls.

    Level design.
    All BF2042 maps are flat, empty fields, diluted in places with buildings. It's just horrible!
    If you've bought this **** and you've never played the previous Battlefield, compare the BF2042 and BF3 / Bad Company / 1942 maps in Portal mode, where the latest level designers didn't give a f##k.
    Sound design.
    The sound from the shooting is mediocre. The sound from indoor and outdoor shooting is NO different, only a small echo is added.
    The positioning of the sound is broken, it is difficult to understand exactly where the enemy is from the approaching steps. For example, if you are on the second floor and the enemy is on the floor below, you will hear him as if he is on your floor. The main soundtrack is disgusting! Just compare it to BF3/4 or others Battlefield games.

    UI.
    Acid, retinal-burning colors; no score table; You cannot scale the map to spawn correctly.

    Summing up.
    The EA looked at the success of Warzone and decided to make their own in order to bite off part of the audience from Kotick, thereby ### their own audience.
    Apparently, the Battlefield developers do not understand (or pretend not to understand) that if a player wants to play the Warzone, he will go to play the Warzone, not the pathetic copy of it, which is BF2042 today.
    Redo, DICE, or whatever is left of you.

    They have stripped everything that made battlefield, battlefield. And expanded out the maps into barren empty fields with no cover. You will spawn constantly and get shot from a kilometer away both because the spawn system sucks and because the maps are devoid of anything that can be considered cover. Unless you like to play vehicles prepared to be farmed harder than a losing team in MW2.

It is plagued by very poor map design, an unacceptable amount of bugs and glitches, as well as the lack of basic features many of which are considered a staple of the Battlefield franchise for good reason (e.g. proper scoreboard, diving in water, switching squads, destruction, all-chat, etc.).

It is plagued by very poor map design, an unacceptable amount of bugs and glitches, as well as the lack of basic features many of which are considered a staple of the Battlefield franchise for good reason (e.g. proper scoreboard, diving in water, switching squads, destruction, all-chat, etc.). While bugs will likely eventually be ironed out, very poor map design remains a significant issue: maps are so huge and offer so little cover that maps hardly flow well, making them an eternal running nightmare for infantry. Vehicles suffer too, as specialist abilities mean that there is little predictability about the movements/loadouts of enemies - there is no incentive to push with a tank or helicopter given how many people run rocket launchers/anti-vehicle grenades and how quickly one can subsequently be killed.

    Furthermore, 2042 doesn't know what it wants to be tonally with very clean maps and quirky specialists ("aNgEl dOeS iT aGaIn!!11"), as well as weird skins (Boris as Santa Claus) meant to emulate hero shooters, while the very premise of the game and its marketing prior to release try to paint a rather grim, gritty atmosphere. Optimization additionally remains rather poor.

    As it stands, 2042 hardly deserves being called a AAA game, or even a Battlefield game, for that matter. Strong recommendation not to buy and refund if you still can.    … Expand

    Even if they fix half of the issues with this game in the coming year, it will still be garbage. I won't buy the next game, and possibly, i see this game killing the franchise as a whole. It's a shooter, but the gunplay is so messed up that I can't shoot or hit enemies.

    It's a shooter, but the gunplay is so messed up that I can't shoot or hit enemies. There's very basic shooter functionalities missing like a score board.

    They left out so much functionality that each and every BF game before this one had. They eliminated the classes in favor for specialists, they didn't put in any stationary guns or AA, it only has 23 guns with no customization whatsoever because all the attachments just do the same, the maps are horrible flat open spaces with no cover, no levelution, no destruction.. the map design is broken where in 3 out of 7 maps, you can't win as attackers on Breakthrough.

    They left out the campaign, so you would think.. with more time spent developing, more studios than ever, no campaign, the actual multiplayer would be better, more content, more functionality, better balanced, less glitches, great gunplay??? big NOPE.

    Then they added some extraction game mode which I refuse to even start, never played it, never will. I don't want to be in EA's or Dice's stats to be a player who started this game mode to even give them the slightest idea of something this is what the community wants to play, because it's not.

    Then, the only GOOD thing about Battlefield 2042, is Portal. It was added by an additional studio in just 14 months development, to make up for all the lack of content in the main game, and it's actually the only good thing about this whole package deal, BUT.... they are killing it by eliminating XP and progression so there's actually no players or servers to be found.

    I asked for a refund but it got declined because I already put in too many hours because I still tried to give this game a serious chance and I tried to like it, but now it's just $120 down the drain, I hate it, I don't even have the urge to play it anymore (only if they re-enable XP and progression in Portal I will play just that).

Barely any maps for the different games in portal and makes the old titles not feel the way they were. As a veteran of the series and having played BC2, BF3, Hardline and BF4 to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. No campaign for a 70 dollar game riddled with bugs. Server issues constantly in my experience. Almost every game I encountered a loadout glitch where all of my loadouts for every vehicle and gun had to be recustomized. The maps are walking simulators when you're not constantly dying to vehicles. No scoreboard in a first person shooter was a big no-no. Only 6 maps on launch. The worst part is that it doesn't feel like battlefield. The gunplay feels shoddy and unresponsive. Specialists we're the worst thing ever introduced in the series. Classes made it simple but now you can run a medic with a sniper and ammo basically being a one man army. With specialists it ruins the immersion and roleplaying that has always been in battlefield. It's something that doesn't belong in battlefield but maybe COD. Speaking of the two medic specialist. If you play one of them in my experience you cannot revive people in walls. The game is riddled with game breaking bugs. The map objectives are terrible. In Orbital, Kaleidoscope, and Hourglass all have roof objectives in Breakthrough that make it impossible for attackers to win. Most of the maps are filler space with no cover. You will experience infantry burnout.The lack of guns in this game was something I didn't expect in battlefield. In BF4 and other previous titles a standout of the series was the variety of guns. In this game there are only a few weapon types per class. There are too many people in 64v64. It causes massive frame lag and freezes on my series x where I had to pull the plug on my Xbox. Not to forget if you shoot one person you will be lit up by 5 other dudes. I could mention more issues and problems I have with the game but this was to just name a few. Worst battlefield title ever released.… Expand

    I'm so sad. What has happened to my beloved BF? There is no going back from this. BF is now no better than COD except COD probably runs better.

    I have few words to describe how awfull this game is, call in system adds too many vehicles to a match with nearly no way to effectifly counter them, the maps are empty shells with no cover and no sort of descructive Environment, only 22 weapons, the sound design is awfull and the sound track sounds like a two year old made it with a rusted pan and a spoon, you cant create your own squadsI have few words to describe how awfull this game is, call in system adds too many vehicles to a match with nearly no way to effectifly counter them, the maps are empty shells with no cover and no sort of descructive Environment, only 22 weapons, the sound design is awfull and the sound track sounds like a two year old made it with a rusted pan and a spoon, you cant create your own squads with friends and lock them, no scoreboard and there isnt any all chat. This is a prime example that you cant just copy everything from other succesfull games and leave your fanbase in the dirt, you dissapointed once again dice.… Expand

    This is the worst game i've ever paid for (not played, paid for), period. EA and DICE should be ashamed. This makes Cyberpunk look like GTA V as a comparison.

    For reference, for nearly 20 years I've been playing the franchise starting from 1942, to Vietnam, to 2142, to Bad Company, BF3, BF4, BF1, and BF5. This game didn't even work for me.

This game should not have been released. I literally made an account on metacritic to warn people against this game. BF1 was a top 10 game of all time for me. This is a disgusting money grab. I'm hopeful them pulling Vince over from Respawn can help with future releases and/or the franchise, but this game moved away from all the core reasons to play the game and (when or if it worked - it didnt actually work for me). Please do yourself a favor and go buy a game from a Publisher that cares about their fan base. EA clearly does not.    … Expand

    Call of Fortnitefield 2042.

    The games is made to sell skins, with these god awful specialists. - Destruction is gone - Scoreboard is gone to protect snowflakes feelings. - Can't make a squad, or when the game is full you can't even change squad or kick players from your squad. - Awful maps! Big, empty, made without any love. (NOT ONE ENJOYABLE MAP!) - Can't see the distance on    Call of Fortnitefield 2042.

    - Can't see the distance on kills
    - So much more, but can't be asked to write more about this ****

    I really REALLY hate this game!
    This ain't Battlefield, not even close!

    And don't think this can be repaired, cause the specialists will be there no matter what.    … 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.
