    They ruined BF franchise with destroying old class system. The game itself is not that bad, there are some things that are good, but the new direction that BF is heading is wrong. We don't need specialists, we don't need hazard zone, for which specialists were added in first place, we don't need 128 players if maps are THAT huge. 2 points for BF portal, but for now this game sucks.

    Battelfield 2042 is a mixed bag. The operatives are interesting, but the oversized maps do not allow you to feel the full power of the battle. The portal is very good, I think thanks to the portal this game will not die. Hazard zones are not fish, not meat.
    It is very annoying to have a bad ttk, bugs, extremely mediocre optimization, as well as cheaters of which there are already a lot.

    After 27 hours of playing this game , overall I think there is alot of fun to be had here.I will break down each component of the game and give my opinion:

    Specialists:
    While controversial, since they have replaced the core class system, the new specialists while are generic in terms of abilities, being similar to a lot of other games. The specialists work well with the environments provided , the non-linear map design allow for dynamic gameplay. While accomidating a variety of playstyles between players. No specialist feels overpowered with their abilities , there are some bugs with the wingsuit after playing with it the most with the specialist offering it.

    Overall the specialist system is pretty decent.

    Guns:

    The guns are pretty wonky right now , gun progression unlockiing new guns is incredibly slow. The current meta being mostly based around the SMG's , specially the PP-28. Being the current best gun to use.

    Hit Registration is abit wonky too as of now , depending on server latency, it ranges from game to game however these decencies can hamper you experience.

    Attachments progression is great , while I can think of any improvements there probably are some.

    Maps:

    The maps are great , being non-linear , accomidating all playstyles and providing a range of environements to fight in.

    Portal:

    Portal is great too, if you enjoy traditional Battlefield with the twists provided by custom servers back in the day, I highly suggest playing this. While the content provided is lack lustre currently , the ability to create unique game modes I think surpasses the current in game content for portal.

    For people who dislike the specialist system , the game is definetly worth buying for portal.

    HardZone:

    Havent played , cant say.

    Bugs:

    Being recently launched, their are plethora of glitches that you can look up, the game is further pretty unoptimised, with frequent lack spikes on a variety of system specifications. If this would hamper your experience, i suggest not playing.

    Lack of content:

    There isnt much being UI provided content , the lack of stats and traditional scoreboards is pretty annoying.

    The lack of all chat I think is a good decision , since toxicity between both teams occurs. However for people saying there is no chat, are misunderstood for lack of VOIP , which is annoying and confusing to why it is not at launch.

    Overall:

    Overall, the game has a very good foundation to become something great , the bugs do hamper the experience , I would suggest buying if you want to play it after a couple of patches.    … Expand

It looks like an unfinished game and made on a hurry to look like fortnite or COD warzone. The game does not have the bf feeling and was made with the intention of making money on the core design.

    We hardcore fans of the franchise have to accept that EA killed BF and BF its not coming back

    List of Current Grievances

    Let me start by saying that I so desperately wanted to love this game. I have been playing Battlefield since 2142 and it is by far my favorite franchise. Below is a list (in no particular order) of broken promises and removed or stepped on features that, if any one of which on their own was missing, broken, or intentionally removed, I could live with. When taken in as a whole, however, it just... I don't know... this doesn't feel like Battlefield.
    **GENERAL**

    * Plus system is clunky dog ****
    * UI is clunky dog **** wrapped in cat **** Might be the least intuitive I've ever seen
    * No Campaign
    * Lack of game modes
    * No hardcore
    * No military ranks associated with numerical ranks
    * Audio is poorly mixed
    * The maps, while stunning from both a scale and visuals perspective, lack any real flow for infantry combat.
    * Non-removable profanity filter
    * Lack of promised destruction/levelution
    * Faction locked weapons and gadgets in Portal
    * No rule editor support for objective based game modes
    * No server browser outside of Portal
    * No private/rented servers
    * Doesn't just roll into the next map after a game in AoW, back to matchmaking peasant
    * Cannot join friends already in a match (pretty sure I could do this in beta??)
    * Cutscenes all over the place
    * Cringe 'look at me' after a match
    * Cannot customize loadouts before joining a game.
    * Cannot select loadout or operator before joining a server which, in certain situations, spawn you directly into the game with whatever you had last game. This happens when joining a fresh breakthrough game, mostly.
    * BFV and Battlefront 2 were gutted to make this **** lol
    * No mouse and keyboard support for console
    * Options and description for kill sounds changed from beta. During beta it showed you would be able to choose between BF2042 and BF1 kill sounds. This same option now only lets you choose between BF2042 sounds or no sounds.
    * No Practice/Test Range
    **IN GAME**

    * Zoom issues with sniper scopes
    * No zeroing sniper scopes, starting scope (not sure about the others) has no hash marks on reticle for references
    * Biggest maps we've ever seen, highest scope magnification is 10x
    * No holding shift/stick click to steady a sniper shot
    * No leaning
    * 22 guns total lol
    * No ‘All’ chat
    * Enemies look the same as friendlies
    * Bullet spread / weapon inaccuracy outside of rock throwing range
    * Have to opt out of revive every death, no idea who can actually revive me anyway
    * Have to re-select spawn location every spawn
    * No resizable minimap
    * Cannot move while prone and ADS
    * Damage dealt numbers, e.g. "VEHICLE HIT 28" after hitting a tank with a rocket, have been removed. This applies to both infantry and vehicles.
    * Weapons can't have different sets of attachments in different loadout presets. Meaning if you want to have a suppressor on the **one** semi-auto pistol in the game for one preset, you can't have it *without* a suppressor in your other presets.
    * No fixed heavy weapons * AA rocket damage appears inconsistent * BF5 movement mechanics removed * Obnoxious voice overs, operators are incredibly vocal, every time you do an action they say a line. * Melee takedown animations have been gutted. All enemies are brought to a standing position before one specific kill is performed. * Cannot dive underwater * UI elements do not have transparency element and distant 2D/3D map markers and UI elements do not fade out by distance and cannot be scaled up or down * Good luck finding your marker on the map **TEAMPLAY/SCORING** * No VoIP * No real scoreboard * No stats page * No commander * Cannot join, create, or lock a squad * Cannot switch teams * Repairing vehicles does not give XP * No squad points for issuing orders or following them * No marksman headshot bonus for long range snipes * 'Assist Counts as Kill' has been removed * No vehicle kill assists * Spotting system is contextual and misses a lot of the time. For example, if you press Q over an enemy tank it doesn't always spot it, but places a go-to marker on that area. * The team/squad order menu (or whatever it's called) is a pile of garbage. back    … Expand

Its really sad this what we get after all the hype for destruction, teamwork, sandbox clusterfuk fights and the good feeling of the whole team is giving all they got to complete the objective. And PLEASE don't believe the people talking about the Portal, It's indeed fun and everything but there is no progress over there, No ranks, No XP, No unlocks, It's only good for some nostalgia of how this game was great one day.… Expand

    Worst launch I have ever experienced in 25 years of gaming. Missing 30+ staple features from the franchise and FPS genre itself. Bugs, glitches, server problems, poor performance, terrible optimisation.

BF2042 is fun. A real gameplay improvement over past Battlefields simply because of quality of life gameplay improvements such as vehicle drops and being able to change load outs on the fly. It’s a good game because it allows you to mix different eras of Battlefield bringing some of the best maps, vehicles and weapons from past games. Meta critic user ratings has lost its value because people use them just as a way to criticize specific companies and provide a completely emotional and biased review. Many didn’t even buy the game and played the final version. There are people giving reviews of the beta. What’s the value in that? I see people giving high praises to previous Battlefield titles that had a pretty low user score. So whenever a new Battlefiled title comes out it seems previous titles are great games while the latest release is the worst Battlefield ever. Let’s be clear about what is actually bad or needs improvement.
    - Some things are or feel unfinished in BF2042. There is no voice comm for starters that is so needed for squad gameplay and that was clearly left out in order to release the game on schedule.
    - There are no scoreboards as in previous games. I understand why but there should be an option to enable them. The reason not to use scoreboards to motivate players is indeed logical. Battlefield games are not like COD. They are focused on theaters of war where everyone big or small contributes to win or lose in countless ways. In past Battlefield games there were players that were constantly on the top of the scoreboard for some arbitrary logic. Either they were a medic healing everyone and getting lots of points. Or they are sniping killing everyone from a well protected position thus ending the match with a great K/D ratio. And so on and on. Meanwhile there is this guy that has been transporting troops from one point to the other. Or focusing in defending a couple of points that gets a low score. Like it or not that low score removes the fun and sense of achievement. So in BF2042 Dice decided to instead give more focus to how players contributed in the overall match than a typical scoreboard. Most heals, most covering fire and so on. It’s a good approach considering the type of game but choice is something that should always be a priority. Dice should focus on bringing scoreboards back and giving people the choice to enable it or not. A valid point of criticism is also that without a scoreboard or a team overview so to speak its hard to know if a server is balanced. Or if there are too many specialists of a certain kind. There is a small advantage for not having a scoreboard. In previous Battlefields once people noticed a team was losing and players were starting to quit the game, more people quit making it harder for the losing team to recover. Keeping players ignorant is sometimes the best choice.
    Some people are complaining about no classes. That I don’t understand. In each Battlefield and COD game people criticize in how it’s always the same and they need to evolve. Well they evolved. The new system does bring an additional flavor to the game. Does has advantages over past games. Specifically the fact that you can better tailor your character to how you want to play instead of the old class system that forced you to use a limited loadout depending on the class you chose. In BF2042 the loadout is fully customizable. Your not limited by a fixed class. Specialists give you specific gadgets and passive traits that suit different people play styles without overpowering you. It is clearly better than past games. People resist to change but also complain if a game doesn’t evolve. If you search online for actual comparisons between the classes and the new specialist system you will see that those that took the time to compare it always end up with the conclusion that the new system is better.
    Performance wise the game needs improvement. Graphics are really good but not to the point that for some reason a RTX 3080 struggles to get 60 FPS with RTX ON. Also the lack of Ray traced reflections makes no sense. It’s a step back from what people expect. In any case the game runs fine and looks amazing with some minor tweaks.
    Some last notes. Environmental hazards, changing weather and gameplay conditions. Map flow and so on are usually left out from player reviews. The fact that there are so many weapons because you have content from different eras is also left out. So keep that in mind. All these things are positive things that are only available in BF2042. A clear evolution over past games.
    So given all the pros and cons I’m giving BF2042 a solid 8. It’s a good game that could be better with some improvements as detailed above. It brings enough progress to the formula to be considered better than some competitor games and even past games in the series.    … Expand

    This game is simply frustrating.

    The absurd map design makes 'running around' to be most of your gameplay time. Most of the time I just 'redeployed'; I mean I killed myself and respawned as I didn't want to run for another several minutes hoping to find an enemy. The animation is horrendous.

    The absurd map design makes 'running around' to be most of your gameplay time. Most of the time I just 'redeployed'; I mean I killed myself and respawned as I didn't want to run for another several minutes hoping to find an enemy.

    The animation is horrendous. Who bloody designed to running animation? The way my character wiggles the gun whilst running looks so unnatural and 'programmed'. For a moment I thought my character was trying to do the good old shuffling dance or something.

    The shooting mechanism is an absolute disaster. To describe it simply, imagine that instead of random boxes for loots, like those you would get from micro-transaction lunacy, there is an element of randomness in the bullets. Aiming hardly matters as the bullet spread is chaotic and absurd. This problem is exacerbated with the first problem mentioned: the map design. Such a massive but empty map design makes most of the gunfights to be long-ranged, nevertheless the chaotic bullet spread accompanied with crazy recoil makes these long-ranged gunfights to be an absolute nightmare.

    Moreover, I was surprised by the number of weapons available in the game. I thought I was playing a beta again.

    And the new specialist system....Right, this could be a personal preference, but I simply cannot comprehend why this system was implemented for a BF game. I thought this game was supposed to be the developers going back to the root, getting back the original identity of the BF franchise. However, what we have is a poor example of overwatch and apex wannabe. Furthermore, if you were going to use such system, at least make them feel special and fun. I really don't understand the point of this specialist system.

    I could go on for hours: scoreboard, servers, destruction and so on. In fact, it would be much easier to list the points this game did well. Which, I conjecture, would be a very short concise list.

    It is such a shame how 'selling unfinished mediocre product' is becoming a trend in the gaming industry.    … 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.
