    Секрет успеха был в них в руках, казалось бы просто сделать обновленную 4ку и все было бы здорово. Но не, они начали что-то то, что давно придумано. Дайсы захотели сделать КОД, но если я захочу поиграть в КОДу, я пойду туда. В итоге-это и не КОД и уже не батла, а кусок говна какой-то.Секрет успеха был в них в руках, казалось бы просто сделать обновленную 4ку и все было бы здорово.

It's just not Battlefield: no real team play, OP Helicopters that can just stand off out of range and kill you (almost impossible for infantry to shoot down), you can't change squads or teams, no scoreboard, the ridiculous cheesy cut scenes at the end " Yah, Angel does it again" (really). 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 can put up with the bugs, lack of optimization on pc, cartoonish graphics, horrible ui, lack of guns and customization, the worst hit registration i have ever seen in a modern shooter, boring map design with mostly empty space, call of duty vanguard levels of destruction and just a general lack of attention to detail Battlefield is known for.
    However, these are the few things I cannot forgive:
    No persistent servers/match making - what the actual **** dice
    No scoreboard - easiest way to catch cheaters and of course to flex
    No way to switch squads - because being stuck on a squad full of snipers sitting on a hill is where it's at *sarcasm
    No classes - everyone is going to run "meta" specialists and team play has and will be non existent
    Not even a place to check your stats ffs...
    It's been clear Dice hasn't cared about its core fans for a while now but even BFV had a few things it did right. This just seems like a generic free to play game that wants to sell skins. As a proud battlefield fanboy, it's been a really sad day for me knowing that the franchise, as we know it, might be at an end. However, even after all these years, Battlefield 4 is still there to scratch my itch.
    Dice wishes it can make a game as good as that.    … Expand

    REFUNDED and I will NOT buy a Battlefield game again until you sell the franchise to competent and talented people. Upper management at EA/DICE are a bunch of MILK DRINKING MORONS. Project managers' wives have BOYFRIENDS. EA stock currently in a WELL DESERVED PLUMMET.

    Simply horrible. Been playing BF for years now, and this is the worst ever. Has absolutely no redeeming factors. Like the developers wanted to create some other game for non BF players instead of a new experience for their existing customers. Hate it, hate that I wasted my money on this crap, and hate even more that they ruined the franchise.

    No single player campaign and a buggy mess.

    This game looks great, the trailer got me hyped but jumping into it, I felt extremely let down. To me, it lost all the fun that Battlefield was and tried to hard to be the next "viral / trending" online shooter.

    Very disappointed.

    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.
