    Bad grafiks, bad Performance, high price, too much players (128) and only 25 guns. The worst battlefield all time

    Really disappointed that so much of the game is missing. The game feel like it should be in early access as so many great battlefield features are missing. I am sure in a few years I will play this game but I really need to learn to never pre order a game.

    Позор

    Впервые решил приобрести игру до ее выхода за что и поплатился Был наслышан, что любая из последних battlefield может быть играбельна минимум через год после ее выхода Как же я надеялся (почему вдруг?) что в этот раз будет не так С полностью уверенностью заявляю, что лица, ответственные за выпуск игры в таком состоянии + получившие за неё деньги, должны понести уголовное наказание    Позор

    24 FPS.
    Call of duty clone.
    No class just hero with a banana gun.
    Bad performance than quality.
    The worst battlefield of all series.

    What an embarrassing mess. The developers had ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD to make a game without crazy glitches, graphical errors, good gameplay. What they delivered is on par with some third-rate game studio‘s debut effort in ALPHA stage. Utterly ridiculous, and no fun to play.

    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

    Battlefield 2042 is a disaster. As a former die-hard fan of the series, I have never been more disappointed by a game release. As much as I WANTED to like the game, I sincerely doubt this game can be salvaged.

You would be better off counting the good things about the game, because there are so few. 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 only positive note I can really share is that the games graphics are nice. Everything else is an absolutely half baked, poorly implemented experience that almost feels like a money grab, despite knowing seeing just how much money was wasted on development. The gun play is a horrific experience, that feels like an rng gamble for hit registration. User interface is disgusting and almost unreadable. The levels themselves are the largest we’ve seen yet, and even with twice the player count are barren masses of land with few points of action. The game is missing nearly all of the features that have classically made Battlefield what it is, destruction, class defined load out, TEAM PLAY!
    Vehicles absolutely dominate the game, with almost no meaningful way to defend or oppose them.
    I honestly cannot believe that this project was approved for publication. Do not listen to the YouTuber’s and game journalist’s who have clearly been paid to endorse this game. It’s not worth the purchase, and in its current state wouldn’t be worthy of a $30 price of admission.    … Expand

    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.
