    The hazard zone is already dead.

    Thankfully I only played this game via EA game pass, and thus haven't funneled anything towards what is clearly a haphazard, lifeless, buggy, and broken alpha build that was released as early for premium preorders (and those with EA Play (game pass). 128 players is a needless increase that isn't functionally utilized.

The maps are way to big and bland. Vehicles are limited and yet critical due to the maps. The game isn't properly optimized for anyone. The physics are bad, hit registration is bad, bloom is bad, the limited weapon selection is bad, the lack of voip is bad, the lack of stat and scoreboard is bad, the spotting is weak, the UI/UX is horrid, Hazard Zone is NOT for solo players, and they are a number of regressions made.

    Portal is the only redeeming feature of this game, and that's just a shiny turd despite a lack of polish. It's plagued by balancing issues that were addressed in the originals and forgotten in this iteration. The only server browser in the game (which is exclusive to Portal for no good reason) is unsurprisingly flooded with xp farms.

    These plethora of positive reviews critics are clearly bought and paid for. They are dishonest and inaccurate. This game is objectively the worst addition to the franchise and could be what kills it. The community clearly is opposed to this mess. Need more reasons to refund or not to buy?

    - No hardcore
    - Cannot join, create, or lock a squad
    - No military ranks associated with numerical ranks
    - No resizable minimap
    - Cannot select loadout or operator before joining a server which, in certain situations, spawn you directly into the game with whatever you had last game. This happens when joining a fresh breakthrough game, mostly.
    - Obnoxious voice-overs, operators are incredibly vocal, every time you do an action they say a line and you cant turn it off.
    - Unnecessary changes to the aircraft flight characteristics from BF4 models
    - On the spawn screen tanks/helis use the same icon, you simply cannot tell if that's a transport or attack heli that you are spawning into.
    - No maps with water and thusly no boats.. despite there being a big-ass boat on the loading screen.
    - No stats page
    - No commander
    - No squad points for issuing orders or following them
    - No marksman head shot bonus for long range snipes
    - Melee take down animations have been turned to **** All enemies are brought to a standing position before one specific kill is performed.
    - Revive is glitched when downed teammate's head is too close to something.
    - Cannot tell if there is room to enter a friendly vehicle without trying to get in it.
    - Cannot dive underwater
    - Damage dealt numbers, e.g. "VEHICLE HIT 28" after hitting a tank with a rocket, have been removed. This applies to both infantry and vehicles.
    - Non-removable profanity filter
    - Repairing vehicles does not give XP
    - Faction locked weapons and gadgets in Portal
    - No rule editor support for objective based game modes
    - Grappling Hook is afraid of smoke
    - Zoom issues with sniper scopes
    - Inability to switch teams

    As a long time fan of battlefield games, I have to say this feels more like an APEX legends or other Hero Shooter than it does BF3.

Some of the design choices are painfully obvious influences of more recent games and it really feels like people who made those choices (I assume higher-ups) didn't understand what makes the BF franchise not just another good looking shooter. I could list a number of these design choices but others have said it more thoroughly than I could ever.

    I hope I can change this review if the Devs listen to the community and set aside their pride. Coming to terms with the sunk-cost of designing a bunch of systems no one asked for is going to be the big hurdle to being flexible and making this into a Battlefield game but I really hope they strip down a lot of the "innovation" and focus on just putting content in. 20 guns at launch is a joke and 4 maps (which are WAY too big) isn't a good consolation prize...Anyone who's played an earlier BF can feel this is just off. The engine looks great as always but the design of things if awful as it stands.

    If you're at all curious about the game, I WOULD NOT buy it. Paying $5 for a 1 month EA play account will get you 10 hours of play time to see for yourself. If it's your cup of tea, go get it!    … Expand

    -| Already flooded with cheaters

    -| A damn Hovercraft is stronger than a damn "jeep", ye RUBBER is very strong material guys....

    -| Rubberbanding is normal in this game

    -| Vehicle physics are pretty much on a prototype level at max.

    -| You cannot revive most of your mates, because they will drop their weapon & weapon pickup interaction overlaps the revive interaction, so you can watch your mate dying while he can watch you swapping weapons like crazy instead of helping him

    -| No scoreboard, they want everyone to feel good -> But this makes just everyone feel like an idiot who has to be hidden everywhere possible

    -| German translation is cringe, you have to "reject" all information windows instead of confirm them or something. But even more cringe is the wrong gendering in the translation & the gendering in general

    -| They did not listened the last 10 years at least

    -| People will buy this crap anyway, which is sad and destroys how the videogame industry works

    -| Again -> Cheaters on mass

    -| And again, Cheaters on mass already in early access versions

    -| Really bad game design in general. Eg. you spawn in a damn heli which is about to crash already and you cannot do anything as the parachute has some buggy cooldown or it won't open at all in different situations.

    -| It's a total scam in my eyes, steam should just remove such scams from their platform, but instead they deal with them, makes valve look bad as well

Dropping down closer to 50 fps on some maps making it completly unplayable. Often its around 70-90 fps which is also horrible but some might still be able to play fps with that low fps. This is with 1440p. Changing graphics down to medium didn't help either. Graphics and cpu is only around 50-70% which shows the game is hugely unoptimized.

There is no war atmosphere at all, goofy voicelines from these specialists, the gunplay/movement is a step backwards compared to BFV and unfortunately the sound design is also trash.

    Missing half the features. Soulless game that lost the spirit of Battlefield, all for the sake of micro transactions and marketing bullet points. Terrible UI, barren maps, 1/4th the weapons BF4 had, no communications. but LOOK! WE HAVE COOL HERO CHARACTERS

I can write a lot more, but I'm not going to repeat the same things after other players.
    As a result: I do not recommend anyone to buy this **** It is worth waiting at least half a year. MAYBE it will get better (but I don't hope, especially after the failure of BFV). In this case, you can buy this game, but exclusively on sale. This game is not worth the recommended full price that Dice wants us to pay for it. Personally I'm gonna refund. And I’m unlikely to buy it again.    … Expand

    Specialist add nothing good to the game, they only make it worse. If they want to make fans happy they should completely remove them and all the gadgets that come with them. Absolutely all of it is garbage.

    EA, they just can't make a game without ruining it first.

    The only thing good about this game is portal. They messed up the core experience so bad that what's going to happen is everyone is just going to play portal and set the game type settings to basically fix the issue by removing specialists and letting you join via a server browser. The one thing they did right was give players the tools to fix their crappy gameplay experience.    … Expand

    portal itself has been awesome, some of the bullet spread of weapons has been questionable but the maps remastered are great and the ability to create wild game modes is in full swing you just have to go and find them.

    hazard zone has been a surprising amount of fun, very difficult but very rewarding all the same, its pretty shallow and i have 1300 hours in escape from tarkov so this is very very shallow by comparison but its a side mode to complement portal and conquest and im ok with that, brings my boys together for some proper team work and its ok, i like it.

    the main conquest is as it has been for a few years now which is chaotic and crazy, the new maps i like, reminds me of the big maps in BF2 and that encourages sticking closer to your team mates and using transport, they all have their hot zones and filter points and as long as your pc can handle it the action stays smooth enough to have a good game.

    its far from a solid 10, but its in no way a 1/2/3, absolutely no way. its a bit of a mess but there is a good game in here with potential, the hate for EA is justified though, its quite clear its another game pushed out of the door when it needs another 6 months on the burner but im still having a good time with it, i realize that's rare and its in such a mess who knows what your experience may be like, for that reason it might be wise to wait on some patches and polish but i still think its a good game in general.    … Expand

Maps are also way to big, empty and miss a lot of atmosphere i'm just running and running to get killed by a tank, a chopper or a sniper. Guns are also really bad and it almost seems impossible to hit an enemy, like as if the high ttk wasn't already annoying enough. I tried portal as it looked like it could be the best part of 2042 and the nostalgia is awesome but again it misses soul like the old ones. And Hazard Zone is just a wannabe warzone clone and i don't need any more of that. Battlefield 2042 is just a soulless, buggy mess and tries to be call of duty way too much. I think Portal is the only mode selling this game and they knew the nostalgia would "force" people into buying their abomination.

If you're a longtime "veteran" of the franchise (talking refractor engine days, BF2 for example) you'll come to appreciate the massive sense of scale that was missing from the series is back. You can't just run to every single objective on the map and zerg, you're expected to use vehicles and actually defend captured points! The days of solocapping flags with no interference are gone! 128 players makes for some wild action movie gameplay moments that was simply not possible with 64 players. I thought the tornado was just another gimmick like Levolution in BF4 but it's dynamic in it's path and rare to see, adding to the visual presentation of the game. Destruction is on par with BFV and is visually superior in some cases. Smoke effects especially on the rocket launch are breathtaking. All the bar pushing visuals you'd expect from a frostbite Battlefield are present. Hazard Zone is a nice take on a tarkov like mode but it needs more meat, there is potential there. Portal is the love letter to fans that dice claimed it would be, I just hope it gets continued support and we get to see more refractor games in the mix. MEC remastered? DICE plz. There are gameplay concerns in this early stage, specialists don't seem as bad as people made it out to be but I'm unsure of where the meta will go as more are added. Will every specialist remain useful in time? The weapon count in the AOW mode is unfortunately low for my liking. Don't necessarily need BF4s reskined guns with the same stats but a few more weapons with actual variety would be helpful. The plus system is also a nice spin on customization but it's somewhat clunky at the moment. Then there's things like supposed sbmm, the lack of a scoreboard, weird weapon spread when moving, or no server browser on AOW etc. These are things that need to be addressed immediately for the long-term health of the game. I don't agree with many other reviews or opinions you may see where they think these things will plummet the game into oblivion, there's just too many positives weighing those issues down. This isn't a BF4 catastrophe, lawsuit filing level launch, not even close to that and anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or wasn't around back then. I truly believe when the dust settles and more meat is added this game will at the very least surpass BF4.… Expand

    Battlefield is officially dead. Probably the worst game launch I've ever seen. The problem is, even if there were no technical issues, the game is still a piece of garbage. I liked the satisfying gunplay in the beta and they took away basically the only thing that was good. The last hope is Portal. There is some potential but right now, it's not worth it.

The portal mode can be a fun experience but I dont like the idea of generation mixed combat. The new scoreboard is absolutly a huge letdown...just like hazard zone and the green/orange UI. Gonna be playing the halo infinite this holydays, becauseMy expectations where high for this one, but a big disappointment after all. I feel like I'm gonna be bored very quick with this BF release.

    This game needs another 9 months of development. The 2042 base game only has 22 weapons. Performance is terrible (i have a 5950x and a rtx 3080 paired with 64 gigs of ram) and was sticking around 40 -50 fps.

Hazard zone is like the developers took all of the trending things about battle royale and shoved it into a game mode. There are only two game modes in the base game (what happened to grand operations?) breakthrough and conquest. I understand that there is portal and hazard zone, but even with those extra game modes the game feels empty. The UI is terrible, and the plus system where you can change attachments on your weapon on the "fly" feels like they thought it looked cool and shoved it in the game. Personally, i think its trash. Specialists, lack of weapon customization, empty and boring maps, graphics that look slightly worse than battlefield V, this game is a mess.

    things that are broken
    -the new filler ai (running into walls, crashing into random things, aiming into the sky)
    -connection to servers (usual battlefield launch)
    -audio sounds like im in a fish bowl
    -the t menu in portal mode is completely broken (only way to customize your gun)
    -performance and frame rate issues, random crashes (i feel like the beta performed better)
    -hit reg
    -some sights on the guns are completely off
    -muzzle flash on guns is so bright i cannot see what im shooting at.
    -NO SCORE BOARD?????????????
    -cannot chat with other team, its just my team, squad and that is it.
    - tanks and vics are way too strong, and also have an issue with sights that are not lined up
    - netcode issues (using zip lines is a great way to test this)    … 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.
