    Trash... doesn't feel like any other battlefield. no more classes just loadouts they give you some premade loadouts names like the old classes but doesn't matter cause their is none. anyone can use any gun, grenade, support option so unlike before there's no point sticking with one class to get the best items cause cause you unlock them all as you play however.

Now we get these operators that all have some silly special which I admit some are kind of cool while other almost feel like cheating. The guns are very limited and most feel like your running around with a super soaker everyone has a rocket launcher cause again no classes just let everyone use everything.

    Theirs no teamwork cause the only way to communicate is typing in chat and most people only use chat to **** about how bad the game is and ask why is the game lagging? why cant I look around or move? You cant switch to different squad to play with people who actually PTFO.

    Portal was ok kinda cool to see old maps and play them again with "better" graphics.

    Hazard zone is horrid unless you have some friends who want to waste $80 to be unhappy at the same time. Most people who are giving good reviews are shills who don't want to say anything bad about Papa EA don't let them fool you at this moment game is broken from server connection issues to the worse hitboxes in any AAA game. hopefully this hot mess gets fixed.    … Expand

    Game crashes, server join errors, class interface glitches out can’t swap character or weapons.

    Hazard zone is terrible.

    Conquest feels like there is 0 team work and communications.

    The guns spray patterns are all over the place.

    They can fix this but it’s going to take a monumental effort.

    There’s a diamond hidden inside this hunk of ****

    Releasing unfinished games needs to stop. Also if you are expecting on par game with other battlefield games this isn't it. Its a lazy attempt to become like cod/apex.

    Bug, bug and bug. Some details of the maps looks like a trash. The operator system is useless. Giant maps where the infantry is suffering. This is not a BF game....thats a joke!

    This has nothing to do with Battlefield.

    No scoreboards.
    No classes.
    No destruction.
    No servers.
    No stats.
    No chat.
    The weapons omg. There are literally only 4 ARs. Wtf is this?
    It tries to be a mix of Warzone, Fortnite, R6 Siege, Apex and so on.

    The cringe after game lines.

    This is an unfinished, unpolished and broken game.
    Do not buy this until everything is fixed!

    The worst Battlefield yet. I thought 5 was a let down, but this is beyond disappointing. Good luck getting any kills with the shot registration being the worst of any game I’ve ever played. Garbage lobby disbandment. Classes are trash. Customization is trash. Weapon choice is minimal. The specialists feel like I’m playing Apex. Just awful. I’d rather go outside and swing by my neck.

    I've been playing 2042 since the open.
    However, there are so many problems, and the promises made by the company are blocked right away, giving users a strange experience of taking back what they gave them.

    I don't understand.
    Why can't I just do this...
    I don't understand why you can't make it like this when you think it's really normal and you just have to reflect what users want.

    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. Everything you have read on the Reddit sub is correct and if anything is quite polite compared to the hot steaming pile of **** that is known as Bf2042.

    For me on a 1080 the base game is unplayable. Upon dying my character just goes prone instead of dying. I see characters jump left and right when i ADS. Sometimes the animations of my character play in slowmotion. And the list keeps on going. Weird thing is. On portal the gameplay and fps is good and i can play the game on high. The basecame i play on low and i still cannot shoot someone.For me on a 1080 the base game is unplayable. Upon dying my character just goes prone instead of dying.

    When sprinting and stopping my character shimmies a bit as if the player model is trying to settle into the position it is standing compared to the netcode position...

    If all of the above wasn't enough to convince you that this game isn't worth buying, there's also 9999999 bugs plaguing the game.

Also no scoreboard, no voice chat, no stats, UI is atrocious and the list goes on. I can understand bugs and some tech stuff, and that can be fixed. But my expectations are so low about core gameplay fixes. They will ditch this game like BFV, and move on. I subscribed to EA Play Pro for 15e so I can test it, and I feel bad for even giving them this amount of money. I can't imagine how people who pre ordered Gold and Unlimited edition feel right now. I wouldn't recommend this game even to my enemy. It's terrible. I played every BF game since 1942, there were bad launches. But this, this is something else this is the end of BF franchise.… Expand

This game deserves a 0 purely because it has so much potential, but it has been completely spoiled by operators, lack of classes and generally speaking is full of bugs that make it literally unplayable.

    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.
