    I have played Battlefield games since the original 1942 twenty years ago. This is hands down the worst game of them all. Its shockingly bad. It's so far removed from the last few games. There's no fluidity in movement, the maps are just a marathon simulator. The Ttk is terrible. I am glad I just took a punt on EA Pro to try it for X14. 99simulator,

    Graphics.

    minuses:
    uninteresting obsessive - Hazard Zone.
    Bad blank cards in the base game, except for the Wreckage card.
    Bugs, optimization.
    there is no statistics, no more tokens can be ripped off.
    The main trouble is the operatives, it's all terrible.
    There is no more team play.
    No Server Browser.
    No chat voice.
    Few Weapons.
    You cannot dive, jump on containers, look around the corner.
    No knockback from explosion.
    no thermal optics, few weapon attachments.
    and other things that we loved Battlefield for.

To end off i want for people to stop crying that this game was released early, yes it was but the fact that it will be improves is 100% and if you want to buy BF 2042 i suggest buying it in 1-3 month later when this game will be fixed Expand

    Absolute garbage game. Bugged, no content, terrible and lifeless maps, no classes, no scoreboard, no servers, no stats, crappy "specialists" that are only there to milk people when they release P2W specialists.

    Anyone that had any hand in making this abomination should take a serious break and do some soul searching. Complete joke of a game. Nothing like battlefield. Nothing like a Triple A game. Just plain irresponsible. Shame on you DICE and EA. First time I didn’t purchase a battlefield game since buying ebery single one since 1942.

    How is a Battlefield at all? Why these stupid specialists with cringy lines and looks? Why destroy the last bits of teamplay on public servers by removing the whole idea of squad leads? Why this terrible UI (wtf happened with the vehicles optics in 2042?)?

    No scoreboard? No leveloution? No server browser? No team switching? No way to play with friends?

    How could you achieve that with all the hard work in BF5 (which was crap for a year), BF4 and other previous titles?

    And the best part ? They KNEW this game is a failure, and they plan "major patch" (lol) before mid december, so basically they could have delay the game release for 1 month and fix some of the most obvious fails but NO, why miss such an opportunity to spit on the players?

    Of course the graphics and sound are okay. But its 2021 so you cant really count that.
    The biggest issue for me beside all the bugs/technical stuff you read everywhere is that the lobbies are just filled with AI Enemies. Youre not playing against real humans, almost all lobbies i tried had AI in them - even the Custom Servers fill up with that. Absolutely terrible because the AI is beyond dense and just looks goofy. It really kills the spirit of the Match completely.

    i tried the game with the 10 hour trial game because i was close to buying it and good lord im almost proud i didnt buy it.

    Battlefield 2042 brings the sandbox back to the series in bold and controversial ways. The new Specialist system might seem like sacrilege at first, but it opens up gameplay opportunities that weren’t possible in previous titles. The massive, well-designed maps offer plenty of room for experimentation and emergent stories, and the modes are a blast. And that’s just All-Out Warfare.

I thought I would give it a chance over a couple of days as there is the 'Great Game Guarantee' . Well I was wrong (my fault should have read it more closely), it has to be within 24 hours of launching - so by trying to give it a fair chance and hoping that the lag issues, being stuck on the ground with the revive timer expired (and having to exit the game to reset) and the many issues others have reported and yet no patch release. I have wasted my money on a game that is definitely not what it was marketed to be = lesson learnt! I will never again pre-order a game made by Dice or published by EA. As of writing, a user score of 2.3 from 3010 ratings! Dice and EA should hang their heads in shame for producing one of the worst rated games in recent times. RIP Battlefield. Expand

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... I'm so sorry for the Battlefield franchise and my only hope now is a remaster of Battlefield BC2/3/4, and please, don't let Dice remaster it; they could even mess up a remaster. Expand

I have never felt the need to make a meta critic review before, but this really pushed me to do so. I am only giving it a 3 due to the fact that Portal is a generally good idea, but it should of been the whole course. If Battlefield Portal would of been a standalone offering with all of the effort that was wasted on the soulless, painfully bad map design that is the BF2042 portion, this BF community would be incredibly excited.

    Unfortunately, what we get is two VERY half baked offerings. You can't launch a huge new shooter sandbox with this little toys in it. It's an incredibly bad look to spend 2-3 years and only have 4 primaries at the most per category of weapon. It's near future, where various nations military supplies are just flung out into various eco-warfare zones, you should of went NUTS with what was offered to players to grind and use!

    But honestly, what will truly damn this game is the map design. It is so regressive to what the series has felt like it was building on.

    BF 1 and V built on the incredible detail that the Frostbite engine can bring, with stunning optimization that made other development houses incredibly envious. And they pushed the series forward in what felt like the logical next progression: Allowing us to tailor how our "faceless" soldiers looked to more of our liking. Done correctly in BF2042 or portal, it could of been a huge money maker for DICE.

    Instead, on both of those faces we see a huge fork towards something no one really expected: Dedicated "hero" characters making out of place quips more suited for an Apex match then the literal break down of human society to all out warfare, on maps that are some of the more boring spaces designed by DICE in a very long time. Gone are the rich, nuanced spaces, and instead we just have this massive scale issue where DICE, hanging themselves with a rope of their own creation, have forced themselves to have to create every inch of map capable of possibly supporting 128 players all goofing about in it.

    And if this isn't the straw that breaks the camels back of trusting obvious puff piece gaming review houses, I don't know what is.

    It feels more like the weather effects were designed to cover up the blank, devoid maps then provide any sort of meaningful addition to the Battlefield equation

    - the game content is really not enough - just some multiplayer maps and a protal mode? and they want for the ultimate version like 100 bucks?
    - the gameplay is very buggy (you can "drive" with hovercrafts on housewalls, you get stuck if you get killed in different variations besides being in a vehicle or by foot on the ground, the servers lag very often and the game crashes from time to time
    - i got a really hardcore hardware setup with 3090 and i9 11th gen and so on and get like 58fps (lol)

    pros:
    - the specialist system is pretty nice
    - the "T" system to change weapon addons on the fly is really nice
    - the graphics are "ok"

    Overall the game is not worth the money - i would maybe spend 5 to 10 bucks for that game if i get a promise that i get new content monthly for maybe the next 5 years...

    Happy to see EA sinking.
    After Jeff Grubb announced the postponement of the release of BF2042 to 2022, EA shares fell by 7%. In a desperation to recapture the shares, it marked the pre-mature launch of 2042. Result. A TRASH!

This however, does not make Bf2042 a bad game, it is simply a game that has been released too soon. With time, given that EA does not cut funding due to all the negative press, the game can become fantastic. There is a lot of potential here, and with time I think DICE can deliver a spectacular experience, given the opportunity.

    While BF2042 it is not great yet, just good, I still encourage you to buy the game. I love playing it, and I think you will too!

    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.
  3. 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.
