I have never felt the need to make a meta critic review before, but this really pushed me to do so. I am only giving it a 3 due to the fact that Portal is a generally good idea, but it should of been the whole course. If Battlefield Portal would of been a standalone offering with all of the effort that was wasted on the soulless, painfully bad map design that is the BF2042 portion, this BF community would be incredibly excited.

    Unfortunately, what we get is two VERY half baked offerings. You can't launch a huge new shooter sandbox with this little toys in it. It's an incredibly bad look to spend 2-3 years and only have 4 primaries at the most per category of weapon. It's near future, where various nations military supplies are just flung out into various eco-warfare zones, you should of went NUTS with what was offered to players to grind and use!

    But honestly, what will truly damn this game is the map design. It is so regressive to what the series has felt like it was building on.

    BF 1 and V built on the incredible detail that the Frostbite engine can bring, with stunning optimization that made other development houses incredibly envious. And they pushed the series forward in what felt like the logical next progression: Allowing us to tailor how our "faceless" soldiers looked to more of our liking. Done correctly in BF2042 or portal, it could of been a huge money maker for DICE.

    Instead, on both of those faces we see a huge fork towards something no one really expected: Dedicated "hero" characters making out of place quips more suited for an Apex match then the literal break down of human society to all out warfare, on maps that are some of the more boring spaces designed by DICE in a very long time. Gone are the rich, nuanced spaces, and instead we just have this massive scale issue where DICE, hanging themselves with a rope of their own creation, have forced themselves to have to create every inch of map capable of possibly supporting 128 players all goofing about in it.

    And if this isn't the straw that breaks the camels back of trusting obvious puff piece gaming review houses, I don't know what is.

    It feels more like the weather effects were designed to cover up the blank, devoid maps then provide any sort of meaningful addition to the Battlefield equation

    3 years in development(1 Year longer then usual + no single player) and its worse than bfV in nearly every way and that game was also "bad". I hope dice can fix "everything" in the next 6 month or so and we can enjoy a proper BF game, if not i fear the bf francise will die. But atm its just not fun and too much is missing that should be in the game.

But atm its just not fun and too much is missing that should be in the game. I am glad i refunded the game in time because the bad performance + bugs + missing features + weird design decitions (Operators, map intro and ending scenes, weird music, Operators talk like they have fun on the battlefield/in a worldwide crisis - not fitting the story/lore of 2042 and the cinematic trailer they showed) 128 players, too big maps, weapons not functioning correct, bad menu design and the List goes on.
    One of the only things i like about the game are the visuals .... but if i am honest i dont need awesome visuals that much ..... i prefer high fps (100-144).
    I am sad i had to make this review but i am a Battlefield Veteran (playing since Bad company 2) and this release/state of the game is not acceptable. The game should have been delayed for atleast 6 Months .... but i guess EA and shareholders were sitting in the necks of dice to push the game so it can be released in the holiday season .... even if the game is **** they make a lot of money with the game .... sadly. I hope dice can fix Battlefield 2042 .... even i am angry and sad about the launch and state of the game i wish dice the best and hope they can fix the Game!

    The game doesn't even have a scoreboard. Can't chat with the enemy. No interesting unlocks for the vehicles. No Thermal, APS, TV Missile, ECM - all gone. We have downgraded from BF4. Tanks have input lag in first person but if you zoom in it goes away. Of course they will never fix that.

    Jets are useless. Sundance is overpowered and the only operator worth using because you can fly for a very long time. The map design is atrociously bad. Open, flat maps with barely any cover - a running simulator. Gunplay is very bad - the bullets don't go where you are aiming at and the hitreg is pathetic. The gunplay in the beta was enjoyable but now it's broken. The sound in this game is also not doing it for me, something is missing. The game looks very bad on low on some maps.

    Overall very disappointed. The game added nothing new that is worth mentioning but we lost a million features. The game is trying to be Apex Legends, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch and a bit of Battlefield - all at the same time. Jack of all trades - master of none.

    Would not recommend. Save your money and revisit in 6++++ months, but even then, don't expect anything because the core of this game is rotten and they'll never commit to fixing that or admit that they should've delayed the game for 1 more year.

    Its like they removed everything that was good from previous titles, made some ridiculus aircrafts and they removed all sorts of stats.

    performance is trash

    A sorry excuse for a BF game. Many beloved features like classes have been removed and on top of that it has a ton of bugs. Yet another AAA game disappointment. It's better than cyberpunk.. but not by much.

    Game released only for Yotuber who wins RTX 3090 for free.
    Happy to see EA sinking.
    After Jeff Grubb announced the postponement of the release of BF2042 to 2022, EA shares fell by 7%. In a desperation to recapture the shares, it marked the pre-mature launch of 2042. Result. A TRASH!
    Wait for more games from EA, these days it's just going to be a disappointment.

    - 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

Then enjoy having to buy MANY MORE glitchy, buggy, lacking $60 games for the rest of the generation. These raw, barely-cooked games will continue to come out, and all because you said "This is good enough, why are people complaining?" and continued to support game publishers even when they didn't deserve the praise.

    2042 has 22 weapons less than half of 2011's BF3 at launch and the least of any main title in franchise since prior to 2005.

    It lacks core features that have been rock solid for over a decade such as a Server Browser, Scoreboard, VOIP, Team Switching, Leaning, Persistent Lobbies, Spectator Mode, Naval Vehicles, Console Aim Assist, RDS customization... just to name a few.

    It suffers from constant crashing, errors, game breaking bugs, rubber banding, major FPS drops due to poor optimization.

    Maps are far too big and much too empty, few buildings, buildings are liminal spaces with next to no assets in them, just empty. Destruction has been toned way down, huge step back here, many buildings are either barely destructible or not at all.

    The new gimmick of a "tornado" is mostly just an annoyance that hinders gameplay as well as being a FPS killer and is a major down grade compared to Levelution.

    Only 2 gameplay modes with the Core 2042 game (Conquest and Breakthrough) is just not good enough from DICE and EA and get extremely stale given the excessive map sizes.

    The addition of Specialists have effectively ruined the pacing of the game, and seem to have been added more to increase profits than actually improving gameplay. They are confirmed to be added as a part of the Batlepass (Battlepass holders getting early access to them) and will have premium skins, takedowns, emblems and weapon charms. The Specialists remove what was previously a second gadget slot for a mandatory character ability which means players now have to choose between an offensive gadget, a support crate or the repair tool and because of this most of the time players choose the gadget supporting a solo playstyle. Because the Specialists are shared between both factions enemy recognition is non existent and conversely you cannot tell who has ammo or health nor can you barely tell who can revive you when you are downed. Also the end of game voice quips that are reminiscent of APEX Legends is cringe, and does not suit with the lore.

    Hazard Zone is a knock off Tarkov / Dark Zone (The Division) and has been marketed as a Warzone killer, but can't seem to decide what it wants to be and comes off as the worst of all of them. I do not suggest playing this mode it is just not worth it, nor is it "fun".

    Portal has the most going for it among the 3 modes offered by 2042. But each part of Portal only offers 2 maps bar Core 2042, and have no unlocks within them. They also only offer a select few weapons from previous BF games and thus the mode only comes off as "a taste of previous BF experiences" rather than truly reliving them again. Progression for Core 2042 now is only given in the EA setup servers and is no longer given in the Player created servers (RIP Populated Player Created Servers) The mode is amazing on paper and is fun but the novelty quickly wears off and the monotony of the same 2 maps quickly kills the enthusiasm.

    Game needs a ton of TLC to be acceptable.

The result is a mess of ideas that fail to capture the immersion and atmosphere of past Battlefield titles, while also missing the mark on the social aspect and competitive elements that make Apex and Fortnite enjoyable. Top that with a horde of bugs along with limited content and you have the conditions that make the game an extremely frustrating experience on all fronts. Expand

    Biggest disappointment in gaming. Huge fan of all the battlefield games, they absolutely butchered everything that made the battlefield franchise great. Wouldn’t be surprised if 2042 lost support and the game dies in a couple months.

    Why not buy BF2042
    1. - There is no normal optimization - 1070, Ryzen 5 3600, FPS: low-medium settings on BF2042 maps (128 players) - 40-65 frames (sometimes there are drawdowns up to 40)
    In Battlefield Portal, the fps situation is better: low-medium settings on BF3 maps (64 players) - 70-85 FPS 2. - Terrible shooting - this random scatter... You shoot at the enemy and observe such a

    In Battlefield Portal, the fps situation is better: low-medium settings on BF3 maps (64 players) - 70-85 FPS
    2. - Terrible shooting - this random scatter... You shoot at the enemy and observe such a picture: one bullet flies into a tree, another into the sky, but the tenth still wanted to hit the enemy, but in the end - you're lying dead... Bravo... dice ... (in bf5 and in bf4 I clamp perfectly, but bf2042 is not about that)
    3. - Bug after bug - then the tank is firmly stuck in the texture, then you shoot at an invulnerable sniper who hid in the bushes, and apparently the registration of a hit in the new bf decided to rest and not count the damage on it... bottom line - you're in a coffin ...
    4. - Servers are unstable, etc....
    What the ***, DICE and EA?
    I played this miracle for 32 hours, and since I can't get the money back, I will sometimes play only in BF Portal on the maps bf3, bc2 and 1942, the rest is slop from the developers who threw the players to eat... You can endlessly talk about the problem with this battle...
    And so the conclusion is: do not buy BF2042 until it has been repaired, and if there is a discount, it is only then we can think about buying this "masterpiece" and the reason for Battlefield Portal (portal plays well, fans experience the nostalgia - might stop by, but not true :))
    Perhaps only the portal will save Battlefield 2042 from a major failure, and then if it is supported by content, well, we'll see. Good luck to everyone.

    A game that sucks so badly that you want to go to the trouble of creating an metacritic account to neglect it.

    If it were at least lighter and didn't have fatal bugs, I'd give it a 5/10.

    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.
  3. 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.
