    This game is half finished, performance is bad and its missing so many QoL features from previous titles. What an embarrassment.

    Unplayable mess.
    Lag everywhere. Missing guns. Literally **** specialist with wacky abilities to attract the casuals . Huge maps with no cover to help all the tanks rack hundred of kills. We were lied to from ea. Sad day to us

    EA delivers a broken game for full price and not satisfied still puts an overpriced season pass! Jesus EA! On mid-end PC the game performance sucks and that's what the biggest part of the users have.

    Never played a game that runs this bad. So many bugs. Soooo porly optimized. Dont support Dice on this one. They should not be allowed to release a game in this state.

    50+ hours into the pre-release. It's garbage. They don't even track stats.
    - No classes
    - Wide open maps with no cover - Maps are too big and turns the game into a running simulator - No scoreboard - No changing squads - No changing teams - Awful hit registration - Awful random bullet deviation - Broken hover tank that can scale walls and harder to blow up than a tank. - Bug    50+ hours into the pre-release.

    - Broken hover tank that can scale walls and harder to blow up than a tank.
    - Bug that won't allow you to re-deploy when you die. You have to leave the game.
    - Bug that will show your team mates as enemies and they can knife you to death
    - Only 22 weapons, of which 2 are actually good.
    - Attachments unlocked that are cosmetic only.
    - Some attachments do the opposite of what the description gives.
    - XP disabled in custom portal games
    - Attachment progression disabled in AoW Solo / Squad matches.
    - Crashes and disconnects
    - Persistence data error that makes the game unplayable.
    - Only two modes on 7 maps for AoW that feels like you are playing wide open fields.
    - Control points in breakthrough mode on top of skyscrapers what can't be captured because there are 11 vehicles on top.
    - Hit registration, or lack there of. You will dump an entire clip into an enemies back to have them turn around and kill you.
    - You can get in a vehicle and shoot and kill yourself because the animation still has you outside of the vehicle.
    - Crap FPS on the highest end systems. Changing the settings makes virtually no difference.
    - No stats page
    - No server browser
    - Lobby disbands after every game, no carryover
    - No distinctions between factions except the glow stick colors. Soldiers around the world wear glow sticks to make themselves unseen to the enemy. Sometimes you see the Betty White specialist kill the other Betty White specialist who is then revived by the Betty White specialist.
    - When you spawn in you are forced into an animation of chambering a round that you can't avoid. If you spawn near an enemy, you are dead.
    - Not nearly enough destruction.
    - Can't change the scale of the UI, or the zoom of the minimap.
    - No all chat
    - No bullet damage on hit, this goes for vehicle hits too.
    - Finding yourself on the map or the mini-map can be... challenging.
    - You can't dive under water but...
    - You can fall through the map
    - Portal
    - No single player campaign that was left out to focus on the multiplayer.
    - No spectator mode
    - No community servers
    - No test range
    - No 3d spotting
    - No contextual leaning
    - No crouch sprinting
    - No scope zeroing
    - No tiered or paused reloads
    - No melee weapon choices
    - No thermal optics in the future
    - No Claymores
    - No first person takedowns which are different based on positioning.
    - No naval vehicles - No gunner direction indicator - No TV missles - No vehicle kill assists. Do 95% of the damage... Well, too bad. - No in-game VOIP at launch - No static weapon emplacements - No infantry focus maps. You will get farmed by vehicles. - UI is...well...interesting - Impossible to play with more than 3 friends.    … Expand

The core game is a cheap soulless imitation of battlefield, designed to appeal to apex and call of duty players, and it fell flat on its face.

    It is a crime that they charged a premium price and released this mess in its current state.    … Expand

    Failed attempt to take COD players and left the Battlefield fans on the sidelines still waiting for a true Battlefield game. We all hope for fresh modern Battlefield title true to the franchise, but we all really knew that they would let us down. I hope they make some serious changes, otherwise I am done supporting this nonsense.

The end of game quotes (also in Portal) are so cringe that it seems like a kid wrote them. They removed classes and replaced them with specialists. Team work is replaced with a free-for-all chaos that felt more like knockoff of COD than a BF game. Very few weapons and most of the attachments have the same effects but just look different The maps (while looking nice at times) had awful flow and design.

    This was my experience with the game. I felt really ripped off as I paid $155 in order to play a week early and it turned out to be a complete disaster. I am really glad I got a refund. What happened Dice? All we wanted was a BF game. Not whatever this is    … Expand

    Bad performance on 3090 rtx

    Even Portal doesn't help as it contains mostly parts of BF3. What is the point to play it if I can join normal and fully functional BF3? Old BF3/BF4 are much better games.    … Expand

    Not a real battlefield game. Lacks any direction, ambiance, or cohesion. Missing features, imbalanced, and the specialist system was a terrible choice. Buggy, terrible server tickrate, awful hit detection. Do not buy.

    There is nothing Battlefield about this title. It’s a failed attempt to jump on the CoD Warzone/Operator, Apex One, and Fortnite bandwagon. Do yourself a favor and read all the missing features on Reddit before deciding to buy. DICE is a joke now, instead of implementing core features we love about battlefield they decided to focus on cheesy specialists and out of place voice lines.There is nothing Battlefield about this title.

    Wtf Dice? You blew it last time by having an African American nazi with a prosetic arm beating a Japanese soldier with a cricket bat last, you even canned bf5 to work on this project and then you guys go and release this with over a year of development left to complete. This is worse than BF4 and I wonder if you guys will ever finish this junk or just can it like bf5.

    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.
