    How could such a thing have been done? How could such a thing have been done? Terrible part in every sense. It's impossible to play this piece of code normally. It's a pity for the money spent. I hope those who had a hand in making this game will never do it again.

    I'm a huge fan of BF franchise, and I preordered the Ultimate Edition right when it was available. But I didn't think I would regret it. So huge disappointment.

    Something has shifted fundamentally in development, these games are completely under delivered on every time they release. The players are also partly to blame for the state of games. I don't know how many times I've seen people saying things like "of course the game is buggy and incomplete, it just released", or "in six months will be a good game".

    Dice has been doing this type of large scale games for years and for some reason instead of getting better they’re getting worse.

    This game doesn't have a scoreboard, no server list for all out warfare, no persistent lobbies, less game modes in comparison past games, no meaningful customization, no enjoyable progression, you can't select what squad you will join, you can't diving while swimming, no "medic nearby" indicator when you are downed, no spectator mode, no single-player campaign, very few weapons (Just 22 in total), the UI is absolutely horrible (We don't have any UI customization from the previous games), no voip or global chat, this game has one of the worst gunplay in modern gaming (terrible weapon accuracy/hit box isn't consistent and the bloom system is so much worse than in any bf that came before/uncontrollable), very few maps (Big maps with way too much space between points of interest and with no cover. Turns the game into a running simulator), downgraded destruction over it's predecessors, the physics are non-existent, and performance in general is trash (It’s so badly optimized that they couldn’t even create a trailer without frame drops).

    I could cite more things, but other people already have done it better than me.

    This game is an insult to video games and to the BF franchise. We deserve better. Don't buy It! Dont waste your money.    … Expand

    Just utter trash. There are so many poor decisions that a 5 year old can comprehend. Check the subreddit r/battlefield2042 you will see the consensus. Only the fanboys really enjoy the game and I'm convinced that's due to the sunk cost fallacy. If you want to try it, get it through xbox game pass. You only get a 10 hour in game time access to 2042 but I doubt you will stick around past 5 hours.

    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.

    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.

    There's no global chat, which takes away the social aspect of this game. No more gg's after a good match, no more acknowledging someone after a nice kill or a dogfight, no more issuing weird challenges to the other team, no more discussing a new map or whatever. Now it's like playing against bots, not humans.

    There's no classes. I want to play as a generic soldier on a Battlefield, against other generic soldiers. Not as some cartoon character against other (mostly same looking) characters. This is a truly idiotic change.

    You can't choose squads either. I mean... I don't even... what? Who in their right mind would even implement a "system" like this?

    On top of all this, movement, gunplay, vehicles all feel off and very unlike previous games. Heli's and jets don't feel like you're flying (why didn't they just copy the dynamics from BF4 which was perfect?), gunplay is terrible, movement feels ridiculous... the list goes on and on.

    I don't even care about bugs at launch because I know they can be patched. However, this whole game seems to have been built by people who have no idea what the fanbase wants, and no idea what Battlefield has always been about.

    That's why this will be the first Battlefield I'm not buying. I had such high hopes for the game, but I don't think the game could be salvaged with patches (even if they tried, which they obviously won't).    … Expand

You spawn in wide open areas as sniper bait, or in front of tanks or in front of enemies routinely. The UI makes it damn near impossible to select squad mates that are on objectives. They increased the player count to 128, which the servers clearly cannot handle consistently. This is a game with tons of potential buried under more tons of performance problems.

    The issues plaguing this game can be included into 2 categories.

The second category is more abstract, and it comprises of the new direction of the game, which steps away from the old BF formula and tries to be closer to Call of Duty (jerky weapon animation, absolutely terrible and out of place end of round lines for each specialist...etc.). When the game released into early access, people were defending it on the basis that "it hasnt released yet" and the bugs will surely be fixed at full release. They werent. What we got is a barebones game, with a portal mode that is just as barebones, no campaign, bad optimization and so on. And while the devs mustve known about these issues, EA said that that they are far ahead in development. Honestly, if you want a Caspian border experience just try the original one or the one in BF4, and if you want a second world war experience then IN NO WAY do I recommend the portal mode, since there are games that are so much better, much more immersive and less pricy. I got to play the ultimate edition since I subscribed to EA play Pro to try it out, and it feels like a standard edition at best. Definitely not worth 100 EUR or quid or bucks. The game got boring after 40 hours. Oh and the specialists? You might get used to them. However im done getting "used to" terrible launches or anything that hinders gameplay in a AAA game that feels like its been developed by an indie studio over a year.

    Overall, they dropped the ball, but it doesn't mean the game is pure crap. bf2042 is about a 6 or 7 out of 10 for me... I believe with updates, it could be a 8 or 9. The problem is, we shouldn't have to wait for updates. BF3 was the best out of the gate.    … Expand

    Now I will talk about 2042, and in my first days of play I already have an opinion, I will summarize it with this phrase: "It is clearly unbalanced in many aspects".

    I will focus on specific aspects that I have seen. Too many attack vehicles, especially in advance mode maps that are smaller, you are constantly killed by tank shots even from behind because they have surrounded you or helicopters with dispersal bombs that you do not even know why you have died. The MC5 goes too fast for a tank guy, it does better to kill by running over than to shoot. For example, zone A1 of the Renovation map with so many enemy exit vehicles is practically indefensible. Defensive material against vehicles is clearly lacking.
    On the other hand, there is a lack of quad-type vehicles to move through the great distances of the maps. Few to no starter weapon accessories, in some cases not a sad peephole. The one who already has a higher level is greatly favored compared to the new player who to which they fall everywhere. There are no statistics whatsoever, nor can you even see the data of the last game once it is finished. You do not see doctors nearby when you die when that functionality was already implemented in the last Battlefields. Armor equipment makes no sense, in the end everyone will equip it so as not to be at a disadvantage. Not to mention bugs ...    … Expand

    No classes. No scoreboard. Bugs. Game created for future cash grab.
    -AND REMEMBER WHEN DICE/EA SAID THIS:
    "...you have two choices: either accept it or don’t buy the game."
    -"Ok sure, challenge accepted."

    Just re-release BF4 with updated graphics.

    Not sure about other people, but I am having a lot of fun with the game. There are some bugs here and there, but with my system, I am not affected by the performance issues and they release bug fixes often.

    Maps feel so empty between the points, no tdm in fps game is very very bad, vechicles are overpowered a lot matched to that big big flat empty spaces where infantry have absolute zero chance to defend is very wrong. Shooting On controller feels like hammering down the nail using a screwdriver ,one of the worst controlls i have ever experienced in the games .. 3out of 10 skipping the bugs

    3 years in development(1 Year longer then usual + no single player) and its worse than bfV in nearly every way and that game was also "bad". I hope dice can fix "everything" in the next 6 month or so and we can enjoy a proper BF game, if not i fear the bf francise will die. But atm its just not fun and too much is missing that should be in the game. I am glad i refunded the game in time3 years in development(1 Year longer then usual + no single player) and its worse than bfV in nearly every way and that game was also "bad".

But atm its just not fun and too much is missing that should be in the game. I am glad i refunded the game in time because the bad performance + bugs + missing features + weird design decitions (Operators, map intro and ending scenes, weird music, Operators talk like they have fun on the battlefield/in a worldwide crisis - not fitting the story/lore of 2042 and the cinematic trailer they showed) 128 players, too big maps, weapons not functioning correct, bad menu design and the List goes on.
    One of the only things i like about the game are the visuals .... but if i am honest i dont need awesome visuals that much ..... i prefer high fps (100-144).
    I am sad i had to make this review but i am a Battlefield Veteran (playing since Bad company 2) and this release/state of the game is not acceptable. The game should have been delayed for atleast 6 Months .... but i guess EA and shareholders were sitting in the necks of dice to push the game so it can be released in the holiday season .... even if the game is **** they make a lot of money with the game .... sadly. I hope dice can fix Battlefield 2042 .... even i am angry and sad about the launch and state of the game i wish dice the best and hope they can fix the Game!    … Expand

    Angry Joe said it all, I'd say also a completely random and unbalanced matchmaking.

    1. Poor arsenal. Realy 22 guns, 3 pistols, 4 smg, 4 AR, 2 LMG, 3 dmr, 3 shotguns and 3 sniper rifles. I guess they just wanna sell the full arsenal to you. Yes, you already pay at least 60$ but if you wanna more guns just pay for it.
    2. Technique upgrades. if you unlock upgrade for tank/helicopter/attack heli/jet it will be unlocked just for one fraction, so when in the next match when    1. Poor arsenal.

    2. Technique upgrades. if you unlock upgrade for tank/helicopter/attack heli/jet it will be unlocked just for one fraction, so when in the next match when you will be playing for other fraction you will find that you don't have those upgrades. So just grind a little bit more.
    Maps. First of all, they almost completely remove destruction from the game, you aren't able to destroy any building. Maximum you can destroy SOME walls. Now we have 128 players with a large map, only 128 players mode. In this case, we need more technique but we have only 2 slots for attack heli/jet, 2 slots for little bird/transports and 3 slots for heavy armor (tank/AA) this means that usually, you will run through the map.
    3. **** UI. Too many levels of the menu for upgrading your loadout. If we talk about portal you just can't select attachment by right click, you must click by LMB and move to the first slot. No separate server browsers for regular game and portal mode. Also, I didn't find how to switch teams or squads. Don't even sure that it is possible.
    4. Other issues like servers, **** net code, random fire spreading for weapons, VERY poor optimization and tons tons TONS of bugs and glitches they will fix...I hope.    … 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.
