    Maps are way too small. And no one's is talking about it. The smallest map should be the size 10 hamada to accommodate for absolutely insane 128 players , crazy number indeed. Very good thing they got rid class system. Its always a good idea to get rid systems that are core to your somewhat successful franchise. And optimization is so good my RTX 3060ti fe is struggling to maintain 80 90Maps are way too small. And no one's is talking about it.

Also hit reg very good. Only takes me one clip to NOT kill an enemy because dumping 31 rounds into him, he turns around and kills me.

    Would have been better if DICE/EA simply re-released BF4 with nothing new but improved graphics.

    Worst experience ever... This game is full of bugs and the optimization is null... Graphics bugs, gunfight feeling close to 0, no scoreboards, no chat, 0 realism. I bought this game 50 bucks, god...

    Also, the animation is poor, no revive animation (shame in 2021...)

    Come on more or less Specialist Fewer bugs will be fixed in month, two but I can't understand that there is no HARDCORE mode. Many people who play HARDCORE expected more from this game same like Massive Destruction they promised us but there is none! Same no Scoreboards,Chat,Stats,Server, and the first no HARDCORE mode!!!!!!!!

    O jogo é definitivamente um teste, está cheio de bugs e o maior problema de todos, é que não consegue usar todo o desempenho de nossas placas de vídeo, nos entregando baixíssimas taxas de quadros. Este jogo não deveria ter sido lançado agora e muito menos pelo valor de 60 dólares!

    Also horribly optimized (getting between 30-50fps, with it dropping randomly even if nothing is happening on screen. running a 3080ti on ultra and the game doesn't even look THAT great. This is the case even after the day 1 nvidia drivers). Theres maybe one great new map, the rest of them are uninspired and not that fun tbh.

    Game is unbalanced. Everyone run with one weapon. A lot of bugs. I feel like playing beta not full game. Maybe in few months it will be better for now it's just a mess.

    it is beta for 70$. balance is **** optimization is dead, net code is dead, LOOOTS of bugs and some of them are softlocks. Maps are huge, so conquest is just boring to play. There is ADS Bloom in this game aka the worst idea possible to kill the fun part of the game - shooting. DO NOT BUT IT! It is still unfinished!!!

    Honestly dont care about bugs and glitches (those will be fixed one day anyways). Problem is the lackluster base game map design. You can tell why this game is just around 50GB on PC, as it barely has any assets to begin wtih. The DLC maps from BF4 such as Sunken Dragon have more details than any of the base game 2042 maps.

It's just one game after another without progress. What's the idea behind that? You get stuck in most games, so that you can't even join. I'm a software developer; trust me if I say, that most of those bugs will still not be fixed in a year. In software development process, you would start from scratch if you messed it up like they did. No chance of reparing that. There must be some fundamental questionable architectural decision. I only wanted a Battlefield 3 or 4 with state of the art architecture. But they messed it up like they never did before. Even Vanguard is a better game...

    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.
