    I was stoked for battlefield 2042. Been playing bf4 with around 4k hours. Man was I really let down with this game though. Bugs, no voip, no score board. Literally spend more time running then actually playing the game. So many features missing. I was stoked for customizing guns and characters but Holy hell... literally a straight rip off of call of duty. I wanted military style equipment.I was stoked for battlefield 2042.

Not this turd. If this was an indy development charging $25 for this game, that would feel acceptable. I spent 120 on this garbage to get a unfinished untested game?

    i have played every single Battlefield game since BF 1942 and if you combine every single error and glitch from 1942 and until battlefield V it would still be short of the amount of glitches and bugs 2042 has and that is saying something, currently farming simulator 2022 has more players than 2042 heck even the parody game has more than twice the amount of players,

    All the options like the scoreboard making a squad private and kicking from your squad so you can actually play with your friends have been completely removed from this game, its like the lead developer was some kind of SJW that wanted to force everyone to play together and give out participation throphies for just installing the game

    i hate the call of duty series because it caters to the arcade game style and at this point i'm more interested in playing call of duty

    TLDR: you're better off burning the money they want for this game as it will give you more enjoyment than this landfill sized pile of ****    … Expand

    Cyberpunk is better there

    Amazing. Bought the game two months before the release. From the info EA was releasing, the expectancy was high.

    3 monts after the realease, the game is completly abandoned. It still has too much basic bugs and there are some features are absurd.

    The scam cost me 90€.

    As a long time Battlefield fan, all i can say is that I am incredibly disappointed in the product that DICE thought was suitable for release. The game runs like garbage on my powerful pc (i9-9900k, RTX 2080ti, 32GB DDR4-3200Mhz) but besides it running like trash, the game just seems like an early alpha build of a Battlefield/Call of Duty Warzone clone that takes all the bad aspects fromAs a long time Battlefield fan, all i can say is that I am incredibly disappointed in the product that DICE thought was suitable for release. The game runs like garbage on my powerful pc (i9-9900k, RTX 2080ti, 32GB DDR4-3200Mhz) but besides it running like trash, the game just seems like an early alpha build of a Battlefield/Call of Duty Warzone clone that takes all the bad aspects from both franchises and melds them into the abomination that we call Battlefield 2042.

    The maps are complete trash, they are huge so 90% of your time in the match is spent just running in giant open fields, not getting into any fights. But don't worry, you might get into a fight or two before you die and have to run for another 20 minutes to find another one - or you'll just get picked off by a sniper.

    Everything in this game is a severe downgrade from previous Battlefield titles. All first-person animations are downgraded in quality, with a severe lack of detail from the team at DICE (e.g., when unloading an empty magazine on the AK74u the magazine still has ammo in it) Throwing back grenades in Battlefield 2042 doesn't have ANY animation, the grenade just flies away because the specialists have telekinesis.

    All of these issues listed above, without even going into how awful the actual gameplay itself is. Hitting enemies is a roll of the dice more than anything - the server desync is so bad that there'll be times where you unload a whole magazine into someone point blank and don't even get a single hit marker. This desync is likely directly caused by DICE's ridiculous fixation on having to have 128 players in the lobby. Having 128 players in the game is incredibly taxing on cpus, and it leads to unstable client performance for users - the 128 players also impacts server stability, leading to increased amounts of desync experienced by the players. DICE had to also decrease the server tick rate to 45hz from 60hz in previous titles which leads to even worse hit detection.

    PLEASE do not buy this game.    … Expand

It is unbelievable! 4 months later and you still can't ADS after leaving a vehicle, the planes do barrel rolls from a distance, you "rubberband" due to lag, the hit registration is bad, the maps are bad, the vehicle spam is unbearable, and it doesn't feel like Battlefield at all. How can someone not rate this game a zero? It was a scam. They stole people's money. We paid over $100 for a season 1 that no one knows what is in it, and they have postponed this season 1 forever. It is a total embarrassment for any serious company.
    I mean, the game itself is not tok bad in terms of gameplay. But everything else is horrible. Maybe it could get 1 star, but due to their lies and deceptive marketing tactics, and the way they immediately put the game on sale for 50% off and now permanently 30% off, not to mention you can find it used for $5, THIS GAME DESERVES A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT instead of anything.

    The type of predatory marketing practices they engaged in, the lies about what it was supposed to be, and what it was and they knew it, and hid it, should be banned from the face of earth. Those practices should not be allowed anywhere and of they did not return people's money, their CEOs should be jailed. This is some WALL STREET FRAUD LEVEl right here, everyone!

    Why the **** would they remove the good old 4 classes to add these Fortnite-like SpECiaLIsTs? It was one of the main advantages of battlefield over other games; everything was balanced, you couldn't run a sniper with a rocket launcher and an automatic turret.

    As for optimization, I just won't talk about it. Out of 10 tries, the 6 it didnt even launch properly. Sometimes the gun models wouldn't load, sometimes the game itself wouldn't load.

    So, if you are thinking of buying this game, don't. Wait for it to go like 20€ (or even free, as the rumours suggest) and then you think again about it. Or you don't know, they may even release an UPDATE, something that for now belongs to science fiction.    … Expand

    Nicht funktionierendes Gaming, Glitches sowie miserables Balancing, Fahrzeuge welche Wolkenkratzer erklimmen können sowie viele andere Punkte. Wäre dies nicht schlimm genug, hat man auch noch sämtliche Statistiken aus dem Spiel entfernt und bei selbst den großen Spielmodis dafür gesorgt, dass man maximal mit 4 Spielern gleichzeitig spielen kann (nachjoinen oder ähnliches ist leider so gut wie unmöglich).

    Battlefield war schon immer als "Betafield" bekannt. Bei einem so umfangreichen Titel muss an aber auch davon ausgehen, dass früher oder später immer Bugs gefunden werden. Allerdings das Lobby-Limit auf 4 zu begrenzen als auch die zahlreichen fehlenden Features, Statistiken als dass es teils einfach nicht oder unspielbar war hat mich um ehrlich zu sein schockiert. Daher finde ich persönlich, dass es kein Wunder ist, dass die Spieler auf die funktionierenden älteren Titel zurückgewichen sind.

    Alles in allem fühlt es sich für mich so an, als wäre das Spiel ein paar Jahre zu früh auf den Markt gelassen zu worden oder als würde man dringend Geld brauchen - egal was es kostet. Denn für mich ist nun die Battlefield-Reihe erstmal "gestorben" wodurch ich mir keinen der Nachfolger mehr leisten werde.

    MICROTRANSACTIONS in this **** pretending to be a game are equal to say "pay or get the **** out" by developer.

    Whole stuff that's possible to unlock without paying is **** ugly. It hurts eyes so much so it's better to play without skin at all. Skins that can be unlocked only for battle points are - of course - really nice (mostly).

    Map design it's some misunderstanding. All maps seem to be projected by random group of summer interns. I have no **** idea what this game actually does in the background but I don't believe that this piece of **** I saw during gameplay should make my GPU and CPU working on 100% almost whole time. Better looking games don't stress hardware that much as bf (tfu) 2042 does. It happens also in main menu (which is parody of design too btw).    … Expand

    When they announced this game they called this "a love letter to the fans of the series".
    In reality this is the worst battlefield made YET, and I'd like to point out yet because the quality of the series has only been going downhill since BF4.
    This is what happens when you do diversity hire and let an ideology take over your business.

    EA are a bunch of wankers. This product is full of bugs, performance issues, missing features. All they had to do is keep the core gameplay from battlefield 3 and 4 and update the graphics. Even the sound sucks which is so wrong for a battlefield game. When its out of early access and on sale maybe it would be worth.

    1. Do not call this Battlefield, because all fundamentals of BF franchise are GONE !!!

    2. Its more over than a year and this game lacks much of a content. Its a sad downgrade.

    3. Vehicles have terrible physics, game as well. HOW THE HELL can a jeep with 1-2tons push away from a road a TANK ???? You know, the **** TANK with weigh over 50 tons and more. Its a joke, here tanks ramming each other jumps around like they are built from a paper. World of tanks, a free games can teach you how to do it, play it and see how bad you are with doing this stuff. Other vehicles are terrible too, it has a feeling like a chinese ripoff game. AND YOU GOT THERE CRITERION signed as a part of a team, they done racing games, were they high or drunk?

    4. Weapons... WTH??? they shoot with almost no spread like some lazy dumb airsoft guns with a terrible sounds too. So few of them, so few options to customize. But at least we can have stupid flashy skins, right? Shove them up yours...

    5. Movement. Soldiers run around like on cocaine fast and chaotic spraying all over everywhere with their airsoft guns. It feels like they are rollerskating. BFV done movement excellent, why you butchered it ????

    6. Wall/cover leaning. Why its not present? Is this counterstrike 1.6 ??? It was there before in BF and now its gone. Stupid decision. And what I hate about this game most is players running through each other !!! Bumping in other players in a game was part of adrenaline when you are trying to run for cover in front of a grenade. Now its not feeling like you are a part of it. Adrenaline atmosphere is GONE !!!

    7. Cringe specialists at least are shutted up after a match. BUT THEY DESTROYED TEAMPLAY !!!! No one bothers to revive, really few others do. And ammo, oh god, NO ONE EVER drops ammo crates. On the other hand snipers on the end of the map are there camping with their ammo crates, because snipers with infinity ammo camping is a great idea. I played BF1 after uninstalling 2042 and it felt like its tactical heaven, everyone was working together.

    8. Sounds. Better than at a beginning. But that Music is something. Why it even exist? Farting in a toilet when I have diarrhea is more pleasing to my ears. Whoever done that **** should be fired.

    9. Graphics. Thats the only thing I can give credit for. Its nice. But somehow, its really demanding on your hardware. Still BF1 is much more better to look at and performs great.

    10. Maps. They got better. But they look dull. That desert map looks unfinished and oh boy, do not let me start about destruction in this game. Shooting into a scyscrapper with a tank leaves nothing. Not even a scratch. That is just lazy. And spawning is still broken. There is a good a chance that in 1 of 3 spawns you will face enemy who will empty his magazine into your face because you are doing magazine check animation. You know like in reality when someone shoots at you in open space. In a TDM I have been 4 time in a row thrown into this situation. Just lovely.

    This game is the worst what this franchise could encounter. Trailer looked like fun, then reality punched majority of fans into a face. Thats your loveletter to battlefield fans. Many of us went back to older titles and your servers in 2042 are mostly empty filled with AI. In a last two decades its now for the first time I will not buy a BF game. Its not worth even 5€. Price you ask is ridiculous. Experienced 40+ hours with gamepass and this day I uninstalled it for good. Everyone who is responsible for this game should punch himself in his face with a rock. Shame on you, you ignorant morons.    … Expand

    This is a great example on an dead game. Nobody plays this on PC anymore. Why? Because DICE took a successful franchise and destroyed it with a mediocre unplayable game. Characters run much too fast. It's like they increased speed 4x which makes players ridiculously fast. Add to that laggy connections and delays on everything to shooting to getting instakilled while running behind cover.This is a great example on an dead game. Nobody plays this on PC anymore. Why?

    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.
