    This game is a scam.

    Visually it is very close to BFV, but requires a NASA graphics card. I wonder if they are paid by Nvidia. The maps are empty, no cover. Helicopters are op. Weapon sights are useless except x1, if you zoom the recoil is such that it's unmanageable, with x1, you have a laser in your hands. 60 euros for so little content. 6 months, just a new map and 2    This game is a scam.

    To believe that they are only 10 to work on this license.

    Ghost and Criterion, two developers that never handled a shooter game, had to try to (and fail to) salvage this title because DICE is a very incompetent studio.

    We lost a potentially amazing Need for Speed for this pile of crap.

    I like this game and a lot of bugs were fixed, BUT it has many problems, like a shortage of weapons, good maps, good gamemodes. It doesn't cost 50+ bucks.

    Battlefield 5 better yet this game fun too . They added some good things such as editing weapon in conflict . Making this game 64v64 so useless . Maps are unnecessarily large so lots of people just camping. There are many bugs but i didnt see a game crasher one . I still can say it s playable not a that bad game.

    Since the most recent update I’ve noticed that this game has definitely improved. The new map is fun and is well designed, My game doesn’t crash anymore, I haven’t seen any glitches since launch, and the new weapons are a nice edition. I see potential in this game and maybe if the next season really pushes some content out then this game can start getting better reviews.

    Look at the trailer and then look at a game. This is purely a SCAM. People should file law suit to DICE and EA. It is totally a deceiving act. I pray that God will punish those who are so greedy that make the world more wicked.

    As many people, I created this account just because of this game. I love Battlefield, I have known this series since Battlefield 2 but this, this is not Battlefield, this game should be free.

    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.

    Compared to older titles there is so much lacking in this game
    The amount of core features missing is absurd

    I pre-ordered the gold edition on 21' summer and my hopes were sky-high. When they run a beta test I wasn't able to play the game because I was out of my hometown for a couple of days.

    Zero hour is here, servers are back, new begining.. and nothing had changed.
    It's worst now. No fun: no destructions, a few vehicules, 128 players not in every mode, no classes, no first map remake and others things..
    I try to play a few hours but it's really bad. Worst game ever

    I actually changed my score from 1 to 9 because in the beginning was a tough start for DICE and EA but it seems like many changes were made after millions of updates and the game actually became more like than ugly.
    I think DICE and EA decide to go the right way with battle passes and seasons but for sure many things they need to accomplish for future success.

    Terrible game. The way they hyped the game with the trailers and seeing the actual game is just sad. What's even sadder is that I'm not really surprised. Don't buy the game, it's a waste of your money and time.

    Season 1 is not even close to 1/10th content of what we got in BF3 ou BF4...

    I'm mad, after Command and Conquer we all can say : they killed another loved IP i have no hope for the future...

    PLEASE do not buy it, may be just try some old battelfields (3/4/5) they are infinitely better.

    A game that never gets exciting, well played EA. It lacks fun, maps are boring and who cares about the weather? Avoid EA

    Almost 7 months after release. Still broken and cringe. Still lacking "legacy features". Still no content updates and barely populated.
    It is not worth at any price.Stay away from it.

    Everything that made Battlefield so charming is gone. Maps are empty, the new update dresses up the indoors a bit. Leaders it's time to replay Battlefield 2 2006 and learn what level design for teamplay.

    If it had a story and wasn't focused on online I think it would be worth buying this game Since multiplayer isn't worth ****

    Turned from a game I enjoyed to a game that I never want to open again. The lack of updates and a detailed road map give me absolutely no hope for the future of this game.

    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.
