    This is a a distaster This game is not set in 2042
    It gets between 20-42 fps
    It has a total of 2042 bugs This is a disgrace to battlefield franchise
    Please dont buy this unless you are insane or an extremely blind battlefield fan with a 3090

    Плохая графика и физика. Нет вибрации по ПС5. Бф1 Бф5 лучше и интереснее, а тут играешь с ботами. За бесплатно даже не хочу играть

    Honestly, as a lifelong fan of the series, I knew it was going to be bad. You can just look at the specialist to figure that out. They want to make the Warzone money from selling skins, but here's the difference Warzone is a free game that makes money with microtransactions, BF2042 retails at $69.99. F**K EA!

If you say they are putting out quality games at launch the you are either and idiot or your blind or being paid off by EA themselves. Enough is enough its time to stop giving into EA'S money last and force them to make a better product don't buy this game!!!!!!!!!… Expand

    I did not care about the bugs in the beginning, as a veteran I know by experience every BF game need a few weeks to be fixed, but this release has many game reking bugs and should have been delay a few months.. Its an unfinished product. It is Just and empty shell of a Battlefield game, and Portal mode does not completely save it...because of the lack of core functionality I just listed..and much more

    This is hands down the worst battle field game ever released full stop period. Frankly it is a complete waste of your money and is a massive step backwards in every conceivable way for the franchise, devoid of content, lacking innumerable key features, with extremely poor performance on pc regardless of your rig and very buggy.

    DO NOT BUY BF2042 YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

    Unfinished game.
    Got a refund. Sad excuse for a battlefield game. Too much RNG. Bullets don’t hit what you aim at it’s up to RNG. No chat. No scoreboard. Specialist are awful. Weapon selection is awful. Awful awful overhyped game.

    Mais um game da franquia que é lançado incompleto em todos os aspectos.
    Tiros não acertam o alvo,
    Troca de equipamento com problema,
    FPS dropando a cada começo de partida consecutivamente,
    "300" modos de jogo dentro de um só e nenhum realmente acabado.

    The gaming industry needs regulation. There needs to be penalty for software developers who release stuff like this. This is not Battlefield. I don't know how this got past the first pass on design. How someone said hey lets not offer a different product anymore, let's mimic call of duty despite the fact people buy Battlefield to play....Battlefield.

    This game is a betrayal to gamers. This game removes the backbone of what makes Battlefield at an attempt to make a cash cow and please investors with the idea of a next-gen bigger and better game. The main game will improve slightly over time but the core of the game is just not Battlefield. Shame on you DICE and EA I feel bad for the devs who wanted to make this Battlefield bigger and better.

    No voice chat on launch. Vehicle warfare is the worst of any video game series. They should look to emulate squads vehicular realisitc experience. Maps are too big, dull and boring. The game just doesn't have any realism? It just feels fake. I hope it grows on me but i doubt i will even let it have the chance.

    Oh yeah, bugs. Countless bugs. Another game not ready for release being released..

Weapon choices are so low that it feels like us battlefield fans are just being punished. 2 sidearms? 1 rocket launcher? And you have to chose between the rpg or repair tool. WTH? Graphics look more cartooney then ever. I’m a 26 year old adult and I’d rather play fortnite than this. Even if I were to say okay but at least it isn’t buggy like previous launches! They figured that out right? WRONG! Save eyes the trouble and don’t look more than 25 feet ahead. Or else you’ll see blank character models running backwards with forward moving legs. Or vehicles and aircrafts scooting along the sky like skipping rocks on the river. I’ll try again after 6 months. But my expectations are low. Another cash grab after COVID crap game. I don’t know where they put all their time and effort into. Was it the color scheme that all EA sports games are doing now? Or was it all spent on making only 2 snipers and LMGs? Nothing angers me more in a war and shooter then lack of weapons. Disrespectful!    … Expand

    They said that this would be the come back of the bf sereis.
    They also said that the version that we played on the open beta was months old, so the version that I'm currently playing still months old? To be honest I'd give this not a 3, but since they promised so much and accomplished so little im giving a big 0.
    They just needed to make something similar to bad company2, bf3 or 4. But    They said that this would be the come back of the bf sereis.

    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.
