    I got a great machine it runs well enough. But operators, and there is no such thing as classes now? I mean real classes, not operator gets perks, and its like pokemon you got collect them all, and they say they got support role. I can rock any weapon and item combo I want like its freaking Call of Duty, there is no classes no class levels.

    This shouldn't even be allowed to call itself a BF series game. I love BF since 1942 I been a support class user, and loved it in every single game. But this, not only is support not a thing, the LMG it lets me use in tutorial against really bad bots, is not available on launch, the weapons are super limited, the enviroment is not destructible.

    This should be a damn p2w game why did I pay top dollar for gold edition only to get a f2p quality game with BF name in the title? I mean I feel so damn ripped off, I knew it would have some **** I may not like, but I expected min class system I coudl even handle that stupid cash grab operator system if there was still classes, real ones with restrictions. But instead its freaking Call of Duty style I can rock any gun I want, with any items, I can go sniper with ammo box, I can go LMG with an "assaults" operator. And the gun selection is tiny, I am use to rocking shotguns and LMGs and now I can do anything which eliminates half the damn strategy of the game. Now I can get killed by a SMG on a freaking support avatar, or sniped by one. Its just infuriating I paid full price for this garbage.    … Expand

    Benim için baya bir hayal kırıklığı açıkçası... Ben yine aynı şeyleri söyleyeceğim. Bu oyun Battlefield gibi hissettirmiyor. Açıkçası Apex ile COD'un birleştirilmiş hali.

    Absolute horrible garbage. Save your money, don't buy this game. It's broken, bad performance, bad sound, bad UI, "specialists", few weapons, few gadgets, bad gunplay, bad maps, core mechanics removed from older battlefield titles and just horrendous in general. Graphics are ass. Just terrible.

    As a battlefield veteran who has owned every single game and played every game to the end this has been a complete loss of $60. Unbalanced, unpolished, unfinished. 2 years of waiting for a cash grab with no real value. Guns are imbalanced. Assault rifles at range are useless while 9mm weapons strike harder than ARs.

My bullet groupings are tightly packed yet half my shots dissappear into the ether when I fire at an enemy. Even at close range the gunplay is a pain and inconsistent. The PP29 needs a hard need and the AR needs some more love. The bugs and graphical glitches are worth another 2 pages. Even after witnessing the launch of BF3 and 4 this has been a complete disappointment. If they don't fix it by the 19th then I am afraid I'll go back to Modern Warfare which was a much better experience ( and it was my first COD game)… Expand

    The only saving grace of this dumpster fire of an installment to a once-cherished brand is the graphics, which I will admit are pretty damn impressive. However, an appropriate cliché to tie to Battlefield 2042 would be lipstick on a pig, and it's borderline insulting to even consider this a Battlefield title.

    Pros:
    Graphics
    Maps (to an extent)

    Cons:
    No factions
    No class system
    Complete disregard for past-available weapon customization/variety of guns
    Lackluster Levolution and Destruction
    No Scoreboard (Really, DICE?)
    No persistent lobbies
    No server browser at launch
    Terrible disregard for Infantry-style movement a la leaning or backwards prone which was in the previous installment
    No medals or dogtags
    SEVERE lack of in-game content (weapons, character customization, etc.)
    Lack of vehicle customization/variety
    No squads (WHY?)

    Honestly, many are attempting to counter our reviews by saying that the negative ones are "too similar" or that this MUST be a targeted attack on a notoriously disliked developer. However, maybe - just maybe - the similarities of our posts are reminiscent of what the community was sold on; that this game would be good.

    Cash cow, knock off, chase trending, lacking direction, lacking identity, unfinished, unpolished, live service, un cared for. Sigh... you can describe this joke of a Battlefield game in many ways, but none of them are "faithful to the Battlefield franchise" . You are better off buying any of the older titles.

    Same problems as battlefield V, the modes are focused on pile-on killfests, team work can be ignored, the character movement feels floaty and fast, and the weapon customization is simple and easy to understand. All of these criticisms could actually be seen as positives, depending on what you want out of an FPS game. But here’s the thing: They don’t belong in Battlefield.

    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.
