    i usually never rate a game here but this time.....

    AVOID THIS GAME, everything is wrong with it. It will take so development to explain but this is not a battlefield.

    This game is if Battlefield, Fortnite and call of duty had a baby. This isn't battlefield. Battlefield 3 and 4 are peak battlefield that we will never see again. its a shame. It isn't even feature complete, riddled with bugs and with a complete disregard of what the community wanted. Battlefield wont see the end of the decade if it continues this path.

    Yet another botched release of a so called Triple-A game. Bugs, glitches, terrible perfomance despite good hardware.
    I just hope people will begin to push back against this trend of companies, treating their customers as beta testers.

    Absolutely bad.
    No server browser. No scoreboard.
    No classes.
    Weapons are bad, you just have like 2 guns that you use.
    I hate the new attachment system as well.
    The game is basically everything bad in one bundle.
    The time to kill is soooo bad.
    I pre-ordered the ultimate edition and I should've refunded it when I got the chance.
    0/10 would never recommend.

    As a fan of the series since the first game, with thousands of hours in bf4/bf1/bfv, I have to say this release is a bad joke.

    Listing all issues with this game is a bit pointless, you can google them or go to reddit/watch some videos. If you feel adventerous, play the game yourself although i do not recommend it. Main issues are:

    Performance on a high end PC is just abysmal, low average FPS with constant drops and stutters, so heavy on CPU usage it bottlenecks everything no matter what your specs are. Most of the video settings make no difference, DLSS doesnt really help.

    Map design for the most part is terrible, maps are large but empty so playing as 128 people is not really fun, there's little cover so infantry gameplay is next to non existent apart from the few buildings. And even these buildings feel empty and uninspiring. Also, shipping containers everywhere.

    Gunplay is just plain bad, artifically adding bloom to weapons make you shot people but not really hit them, even point blank. Vehicle controls and physics are clunky and pretty tilting. 22 weapons are only available to unlock, mod system is very flat and doesnt really allow for much. There's no teamplay cause everyone is a superhero specialist (looking exactly the same so it's hard to tell who's on your team and who isn't).

    UI and HUD has to be the worst I've seen in a long while, I'm sorry but whoever was the UI Designer either never played a game in his/her life (battlefield even more so) or its their first assignment in their career. In-game there's visual clutter everywhere.

    Server stability is a big issue, Portal has great potential but no dedicated servers or reasonable search/filter/favorites UI make it a terrible experience to use.

    Stay away from this game until its fixed, patched and improved. The price tag for it is just ridiculous in its current state.    … Expand

    Battlefield 2042 or in other words "Call of Apex: 2042".
    The lead multiplayer designer is a fan of Apex and MW2019, and it really shows in the game design and gameplay elements.
    Armor? Why is this even in the main multiplayer matches, yeah it makes sense for a squad based escape from battle royal game type but not in core multiplayer. The animation is almost exactly like MW2019 if you    Battlefield 2042 or in other words "Call of Apex: 2042".

    Armor? Why is this even in the main multiplayer matches, yeah it makes sense for a squad based escape from battle royal game type but not in core multiplayer. The animation is almost exactly like MW2019 if you choose to use that as you gadget slot.

    Medical pen, this is literally taken from CoD/Apex, it removes the focus of team play and relaying on team mates. Why carry a medical crate when you can self heal in a middle of a fire fight. This game completely incentives lone wolf behavior. Never in a game before have i felt so alone on the field even with 128 players.

    Classes: This is basically gone from the game besides portal. And portal is basically there so you can farm XP, not sure how DICE didnt see that coming but they didnt. (or they turned a blind eye towards QA like they usually do).

    The way the game makes it self feel like a hero shooter. You pick a specialist, you have one gadget and you run around aimlessly. You can choose a squad, you cant kick people from a squad but you can move to a random squad. Doesnt make sense. Now im so used to running a repair tool and rocket launcher that you cant even do that. Now i choose angel due to his ability to revive people with armor (which armor being very annoying to fight against), and the ability to call in supply drops. This right here, i can just sit in one spot with a sniper rifle get armor and be able to with stand a full mag dump from an enemy while using a stinger to take out air craft. This here is a huge issue. EVERYONE RUNS STINGERS because of the "no class" restrictions on weapons.

    You're constantly getting locked on by everything in the game from ground to air to nades. Frag nades damage tanks and armor (why? I dont know and its stupid). Half the time you dont know when a pilot pops flares and it takes longer to even re-lock onto them.

    Netcode is worse than BF4's launch, at least the hit reg in that game was miles ahead of this one.
    Bullet bloom, you cant hit **** and it comes down to RNG
    Mouse controls are inputted with controller so you have to change controller controls in order to get rid of mouse acceleration.

    UI is horrible, they said that was being addressed, they lied. World icons are at 100% opacity enemies can hide behind that. Mini map scale is small as hell on ultrawide and you cant change the size of it. Crosshair and hitmarker colors do not change and is bugged. You cant tell if a rocket is incoming or you're just being constantly locked. Half the time the kill cam doesnt work

    No scoreboards, no voice chat, no all chat.
    You go through 15 different type of visual's before getting into a actual match to play and thats with even getting off the transport which is bugged.

    Map design is horrible, you can take a jet and ram into an entire crowd of enemies on orbital.
    Hovercraft are tanks that can spiderman up a skyscrapper.
    DICE doesnt listen to QA

    The game is about monetization of skins and specialists. Season 1 is delayed and you're stuck with 22 weapons and cant mix and match from era's. (Season 1 is delayed prob due to the huge backlash of issues so they have to fix that).

    You go through 4 suppressors in order to unlock the muzzle brake.
    Half the time you dont know if a rocket is incoming in the air.
    The game itself is a toxic ceastpool of its own demise

    This needed a longer time despite being worked on by 4 DIFFERENT STUDIOS.
    TTK is a mess due to armor, you can take one full mag dump into someone without killing them and thats if you hit them due to bulletspread/bloom.

    Wait for it to be on sale as i can see the game getting a 50% off in a month or two.    … Expand

The whole thing is just really bad and really disappointing after the trailer. Oh, good luck getting frames over 70, regardless of rig. Vehicles are so scarce, if you don't get one at beginning of round, you'll wait around at the spawn screen hoping you can get 1 of the tanks throughout the game, completely frustrated.

    The animation is horrendous. Who bloody designed to running animation? The way my character wiggles the gun whilst running looks so unnatural and 'programmed'. For a moment I thought my character was trying to do the good old shuffling dance or something.

    The shooting mechanism is an absolute disaster. To describe it simply, imagine that instead of random boxes for loots, like those you would get from micro-transaction lunacy, there is an element of randomness in the bullets. Aiming hardly matters as the bullet spread is chaotic and absurd. This problem is exacerbated with the first problem mentioned: the map design. Such a massive but empty map design makes most of the gunfights to be long-ranged, nevertheless the chaotic bullet spread accompanied with crazy recoil makes these long-ranged gunfights to be an absolute nightmare.

    Moreover, I was surprised by the number of weapons available in the game. I thought I was playing a beta again.

    And the new specialist system....Right, this could be a personal preference, but I simply cannot comprehend why this system was implemented for a BF game. I thought this game was supposed to be the developers going back to the root, getting back the original identity of the BF franchise. However, what we have is a poor example of overwatch and apex wannabe. Furthermore, if you were going to use such system, at least make them feel special and fun. I really don't understand the point of this specialist system.

    I could go on for hours: scoreboard, servers, destruction and so on. In fact, it would be much easier to list the points this game did well. Which, I conjecture, would be a very short concise list.

    It is such a shame how 'selling unfinished mediocre product' is becoming a trend in the gaming industry.    … Expand

    -Performance is all over the place. Sometimes downright unplayable.
    -The ui is slow and clunky. I don't know if its because of the fps drops but sometime it freezes when i try to change my attachments in portal.
    -No scoreboard
    -Censoring of the chat (we arent infants) as an Australian i find this infuriating. Pop a blokes head off with a AR but don't you **** dare swear.
    -Sticking with chat, all chat and voice chat aren't there.
    -Flight mechanics are ****
    -Who asked for specialist?
    -I played a game of hazard zone extracted and was awarded no credits.
    -Hitboxes are broken.
    -Dice thought it was good idea to add spread and massive recoil together. I don't even know if
    spread was intentional.
    -Dice not listening, community have been asking for rent a server for years, where is it?
    -Hovercraft are snails that can traverse walls now?
    -Wall hack operators camping rooftops.
    -Some vehicles weapons are op while others are near useless.
    -Why only 4 in a squad.
    -Why can't you switch squads or teams
    -Where is the destruction you showed off at E3 2020?
    -Where is the campaign?
    -Where are classes?
    -Where is the cover? The maps are empty, vehicles dominate, youd think in a warzone people would have built cover to fight in.
    -Where is my KD?
    -Bug where i can't leave the vehicle sometimes.
    -Sometimes the parachute doesn't deploy.
    -Bug where i got stuck in crouch mode.
    -Bug where i couldn't look up or down.
    -Where is the classic battlefield teamwork? Does the request ammo/ medic in commrose even do
    anything?
    -Why can't i mute the childish cringy lines after every game.
    -I had it where all the obj icons would disappear when i ads on BF4, why isn't that in this game 7
    years later. Can't scale hud, can't hide individual Hud elements.
    -Why can't i switch the interact key to toggle?
    -You can't mark/ ping the map in hazard zone. Why?
    -Bug where you can't revive teammates if they are clipping or if they are in water.
    -Who thought calling in a Anti Air on a tablet was a good idea, now we have anti air camping
    rooftops.
    -Why isn't there more solely traversal vehicles on the call in tablet, such as quadbikes/ tuk tuk.
    Walking simulator 2042.
    -128 players and the map feels empty.
    -Some obj don't have cover, how are we meant to cap them?
    -The bots are........bots.
    -Where is the great movement mechanics from battlefield 5. One of the few things the community
    was asking to be kept.
    -Can't zoom on the spawn menu screen.
    -Bug where your primary weapon can't be accessed.
    -The movement feels clunky.
    -Where is the battle pass?
    -Audio is messed up.
    -Portal "a love letter to fans", uses the same flight model and ui of the AOW and so its ruined. -BFBC2 is riddle with bugs. -The same cringy line play at the end of portal games, but the mouths don't move. -Hitboxes in the level/map furniture is inconsistent. -Who keeps equipping the vehicles with slick tires, cant take a turn without spinning out.

    WAY too big (and open, barren) maps, negates the point of 128 players in Conquest. Conquest 64 in old games was far more intense. What moron thought this up? 128 could have been great, such wasted potential

    No classes, really? Classes, destruction, vehicles, that's the 3 key pillars of what makes Battlefield Battlefield. You can't just take one pillar out, and replace it with system that is designed to sell cosmetic MTX. Voice acting and design of Specialists is cringe AF. Actually BOTS have the best looking uniforms, you envy bots in this game.

    Even if they fix all the bugs and terrible hitreg, those will never be fixed.

    KILLED FEATURES

    No scoreboard
    No stats
    No destruction (compared to any past BF game)
    No locked squads
    No voice chat
    No all chat (in M rated game... for your protection)
    No platoons
    No server browser (except Portal)
    No emblems
    No BFV movement system like promised, you can't even lean

    TERRIBLE GUNS

    Worst random spread in franchise history. It was fine in Beta, they made changes....
    22 guns, including pistols
    All guns feel the same
    Pathetic customization, the barrel attachments for example are mostly COSMETIC

    TERRIBLE FLIGHT MODEL AIR VEHICLES

    Flight model of air vehicles is a joke (just like Beta). Any noob can dominate in heli
    Skill it took to fly helis in Battlefield 4 is GONE.
    Jets on the other hand are useless. They did no changes from Beta, seriously
    Tanks, pretty much useless against a decent heli pilot
    Hovercraft, better than any tank (and can climb walls)
    Glitchy turrets

    HAZARD ZONE aka HAHA ZONE

    Boring and will be dead after 2 weeks. I can see why there wasn't much trailers. No stakes into the games

    PORTAL

    Portal could be great, but it has inherited crap from the main game, like the air vehicle physics. The air vehicles are not original, they are reskins of the 2042 vehicles! Same terrible 2042 flight model.

    People use Portal to farm 1HP bots for XP mainly... and DICE didn't see this coming?

    El Alamein map is just a flat desert... yeah it looks good, but 20 year old map design shows...
    PC PERFORMANCE Performance is abysmal. Not everyone can afford a RTX 3090, and even with that you will be lucky to hit 100 frames. OTHER PROBLEMS 2042 maps are filled with copypaste buildings and cargo containers. CONTAINERS everywhere. Sound design is a downgrade, directional audio is terrible. Graphics don't actually even look good. BF1 from 2016 looks far better. Portal is the only thing showing promise, but you can just go play the real BF3 right now? The experience of Portal is not pure, it's some sort of weird bastard child of 2042 and the old game. It inherits some of the bad mechanics from the main game, like air physics. Gunplay isn't original either. Three years of development, 4 studios working on it, no campaign, "ahead of schedule" and "love letter to fans" and this is what they come up with???

    The core game, All Out Warfare, is barely playable (when you can actually get into a server). It crashes a lot. There are only a handful of weapons per class.

The gun handling has been ruined by the introduction of random spread since the beta. For some reason the SMGs perform better at range than the ARs because of this.

    Portal would be the saving grace, but it suffers from many of the same bugs. Noshar Canals on Rush is broken - in the match I played, spawning on teammates didn't work so one team was just stuck on the carrier. My friend kept getting the stuck in downed state bug so we were having to constantly leave matches. I would crash to desktop and not be able to join back.

    This is really sad because I love Battlefield and want it to do well. There's nothing quite like it on the market. I worry about how many times can DICE f*ck it up before EA pulls the plug :(

    I bought the Gold Edition and ended up getting a refund because in its current state, the game is barely playable, and the lack of weapons or progression (even unlocking new attachments is bugged) meant I wasn't bothered to put up with all of the bugs to try to play.

    Seriously DICE, you ended support for Star Wars and BFV for this?? What have you been doing?

Usisng strongest available assault riffle you alwas loose vs PBX smg on any distance.

    Matchmaking is also bad, so GL if you plan on playing with more than 3 of your mates. You also get kicked out from server after each round to join a new one. After 10 games of conquest, I have only been put in 2 maps.

    Lots of problems with assigning keybindings to air vehicles and impossible to make it similar to older versions.
    Bugs that were present on earlier battlefields are still there, forcing you to alt-f4 and reconnect.

    Loadouts are fine everything there works, maps are not good, too big for the game I'd rather it be like battlefield 4 but with 128 players on the same maps. What happened to destruction? No clue since there's no taking down buildings or a giant battlefield scarred with craters like in BF1 or BFV it's just cod at this point where all you see is vehicles exploding and that's about it.

    The frame rate is around 30-40 with occasional drops to 20 I've seen people say they have a RTX 3090 and a Ryzen 5950x and it's at 40-50 so you know the optimization is absolutely trash.

    What a dumpster fire of a launch, at least the BFV beta was playable and the only issues in that was revives and the fact that you could see the grey floor underwater.

    If they're gonna fix all these issues in a week I'd say that's a death sentence and a very difficult task, though if by some miracle this game comes out okay at launch it'd be great.    … Expand

    Butchered features from previous games to cater to a wider audience, and ultimately released a game that is completely bug ridden, performs terribly on high-end PC's at any resolution above 1080p, netcode and servers are rubbish, doesn't have a campaign, and is blatantly moving in the direction of enticing cosmetic microtransactions.

And guess what, we do, we just can't help ourselves.
    Onto a more technical approach toward the game. As many here pointed out: This is not Battlefield as we know. It's an amalgamate of Apex, R6 Siege, Fortinite and Warzone.
    No classes,
    almost so called "levolution" introduced in BF4,
    no dedicated servers,
    no stat page,
    no scoreboards,
    no chat (voice nor typed),
    "specialists",
    they introduced these cringey voice lines while running around and doing stuff and at the end screen with those unnecessary animations of MVP. Like, why? Why did you think that's something Battlefield needed?
    I also do not appreciate that we can change our attachments in the middle of the gunfight. To me, it completely destroys immersion (among other things present in this game) because it feels that our "soldiers" (not soldiers, our characters seems like privately owned fighters from those security companies we see in movies and series) carry them in the pocket. Maybe that's a thing and I don't know.
    Also the wingsuit has "Just Cause" physics. Completely ridiculous. Ruins the immersion.
    Lastly, the lack of weapon is disappointing. Barely reaching 20 guns while BF4 had almost 80 or more. I bet they will add more as they release the surprise mechanic called season pass or battle pass.
    I regret playing more than 2 hours, because I really tried to enjoy but so many things are wrong. This is not a war game, it's just a bunch of people running around playing with expensive toys.
    TL;DR

    DICE have gone back multiple steps and removed everything good about the previous battlefield. Its clear this game was meant to be a BR cash grab game to try and get some of the WARZONE money. No longer feels like BF, its pretty much Call Of Duty but somehow worse.

    Game is in a complete disarray and is embarrassingly bad A list of issues with Battlefield 2042 and what needs to be changed / fixed.

    **1) No Scoreboard** - No scoreboard means you can't tell who's hacking, can't tell if the teams are balanced, can't see how many bots there are in your lobby, can't see everyone's ranks/levels, can't see everyone's stats and comparing yourself and your    Game is in a complete disarray and is embarrassingly bad A list of issues with Battlefield 2042 and what needs to be changed / fixed.

    **1) No Scoreboard** - No scoreboard means you can't tell who's hacking, can't tell if the teams are balanced, can't see how many bots there are in your lobby, can't see everyone's ranks/levels, can't see everyone's stats and comparing yourself and your squad to everyone else, can't see latency of everyone in the match, can't see overall score, and can't see how many different classes are being played. The players have everything to lose when there is no scoreboard, yet EA/DICE have everything to gain. If you care about your community and respect us as dedicated fans of this series, you will bring back at least this one feature.

    **2) No scoring system** - We've had a scoring system in Battlefield for many years now, yet such a system does not exist in BF2042. Shooting at enemy players does not rack up any score points, throwing ammo/meds or doing repairs doesn't rack up score points. Capturing objectives, playing as a squad, marking objectives, spotting enemies, etc, all of these do not rack up any score. All we get now is a basic XP system that cannot be shown or displayed to anyone. You cannot compare your score with people on your own team, let alone the enemy team. The removal of the scoring system plus the removal of the scoreboard both contribute to the lack of competitiveness that the franchise has been known for. Remember the days where you were at the top of the scoreboard with 0 kills but the most revives/heals? Say goodbye to that.

    **3) No stats page** - So we have no scoreboard, no scoring system, and also...no stats page. We cannot even see our own progression and stats in the game. Remember the Battlelog days where we can see so many detailed stats and also compare with other users? Well we hit rock bottom.

    **4) No server browser** - When you thought it couldn't get even worse, it just did. BF2042 has no server browser, you matchmake like you do in Call of Duty. We cannot manually select/search for games, we have to just use the matchmaking system that does the search for us. This is taking power away from players for no good reason. This opens the door for SBMM/EOMM becoming a thing which is a major red flag. It gets worse.

    **5) Players do not carry over to next match, lobby disbands** - Out of all the things EA/DICE could take from Modern Warfare, they took one of the worst things ever introduced, which was lobby disbandment. When a match is over, everyone is thrown back to the main menu, you get no chance to rematch the players you just played with. The older CoD and BF games all kept the same players for the next map, meaning you could play with the same players match after match. You cannot do that anymore as the system now forces everyone to disband immediately after the post-match screen. Needless to say, but this kills what little sense of community this game had left. Well done.

    **6) No real class system** - People confuse this issue with the specialist system when these are two separate issues. You can have specialists while also having a class system. The issue with BF2042 is that every specialist can use every weapon, every grenade/gadget, and every tool, with the only difference being the skin of your specialist and their special gadget/ability. Having no class system means it will be much harder to balance out your weapons, because now every single AR has to compete with every SMG, which has to compete with every LMG, which has to compete with every Sniper/Shotgun, and so on. The lack of class system means that a stricter meta will form compared to previous BF games where you still had more diversity of weapon and gadget use because you had to sacrifice something if you wanted something else. For example, in BC2/BF3/BF4, if you are running an AR, you can't use an RPG, if you wanted one, you had to sacrifice the other. This is called balance because you are balancing out who gets what. All a class system is is a package of things you get. DICE could have easily made specialists be a part of a class or "package", so certain specialists within a certain class can only use certain weapons and gadgets/utility. This would have been the correct way to go for BF2042 and a fair compromise.

I never pre order games though as it is pointless and played the free beta. I wanted to like it so much but it was so buggy on Xbox Series X that it was unplayable. With only a few guns to play with, 1 map and mode, and seeing the same two characters over 100 times got old real quick. I believe they built specialists around hazard mode and I think they work well with it but adding them to the core game was a big mistake. With there only being like 11 specialists at launch and not enough added later and mostly everyone playing the same 3-4 specialists, it won't feel like battlefield. Your meant to feel like a faceless solider that can die and not have massive importance. Not every single game needs to make you feel like the hero of the movie or game. Now on to the release or what they call early access  but is still the full game. Again I don't pre order AAA games nor buy day one, pointless. I have the game pass which includes EA Access and allowed me to play 2042 for 9 hours. Within those 9 hours I can paraphrase the rest of the review by saying it sucks and don't buy until a deep sale 6 months later. Now don't get me wrong there's a Very good foundation here. You have the good ole Battlefield engine, the movements of the character feels good along with core gunplay when it works. That's it though. First and foremost there's no campaign, which automatically should of lowered the price of the game not raised it 10 dollars on console  for "next gen", Which is a scam. With no campaign, there should have been more time to add more content to multiplayer and its just not there at all. The thing that worries me most is that BF5 was a "Woke Failure from the start and almost no content added later. Bf 2042 gives you 22 Weapons in total with a handful more dedicated to portal mode, worse then any recent battlefield or call of duty. The few guns you do get come with a very small handful of skins that are very simple bland ones. The vehicles in this game feel cheap and blocky too. You get a few Massive but empty maps without much detail although pretty graphics at times, Two main modes, conquest and Breakthrough. It seems like battlefield strips away more and more modes every game. The performance is not there on new consoles and even worse on pc. Personally I dip below 50fps on Series X all the time. Next you have hazard mode which is like Battle Royale and a very simple version of escape from Tarkov. I thinks there's only map, that's all I got and it gets boring quick. Now the bread and butter and our potential savior is portal. A mode that for now combines Bf 1942 with bad company 2 and bf3 allows you to play 2 maps from each game along with a couple weapons and vehicles from them and a dedicated mode in each game that has potential. Seeing this mode makes me think they should of just remastered some old bf games and put them together in a bundle instead. If they add a lot more maps and guns to these games and even more games to the mode, there is something here. Like I said before I am very worried about post launch content. Even with portal though, you still have a buggy ugly glitchy ui. No scoreboard along with other features missing and poor button mapping. A small but necessary annoyance, on xbox you cannot disable crossplay within the game. You must go to xbox settings and disable crossplay which turns it off for every game which is annoying because I play a lot of co op games and like crossplay. On fps games I do not though with pc players. To wrap it up, there are a lot of bugs in this game but can be ironed out, a good foundation, and a potentially very good portal mode thats worth paying $70 alone in the future. Other then that there are way too many issues and missing content in the game and not worth the money nor time. Absolutely wait for a sale and months for issues to be fixed.… Expand

Just look at maps like Zavod, Dawnbreaker, Paracel, etc. or any of the BF1 or BFV maps. Vehicle balance just is not there. The weapon pool is just poor - it‘s even worse than poor - it‘s shameful.

    - No way to join specific squad, all you can do is leaving your squad and joining other _random_ squad mid game. You dont see other squads on map, so you can not tell if they play objective or just soloing.
    - There is no in game voice chat for squad coordination. Funny thing is that if you click the player on the player list there is an option to mute him, but... there is no voice chat.
    - You can not zoom the map so if there is some heavy fighting around some oint good luck selecting the right point (squad mate, point itself, spawn beacon etc)
    - No hardcore mode without 3rd person vehicle view, 3d spotting, kill cams etc.

    They did everything to kill the teamwork making BF2142 into large scale COD/Apex/Fortnite.

    BF2142 is like hymn for mediocracy - stats removed, low weapons variety (two types of launchers only, really?), overly simplified core game cycle.

    I wont tell you much about the operators. They are useless and could be like skins for normal classes.

    Voiceover is irritating, and i bet that there is NOT A SINGLE person not swearing on those opening non-skippable cinematics at the beginning of EVERY FREAKING round.

    There are A LOT of bugs/glitches even in the interface (menus) here and there, it looks unpolished, like its somewhere between alpha and beta.    … Expand

    Ставлю 3.

    Игра сырая, а ее выпускают и тестируют на пользователях подписки ea pro. Игра, которая стоит 5 тысяч рублей совсем не оправдывает свою стоимость. Игра про будущее, а вы бегаете по карте пешком от точки А до точки В. Техники в игре очень мало, оружия по пальцам пересчитать, какие-то оперативники в которых путаешься. Это уже давно не батла, которую мы помнили и любили.    Ставлю 3.

    I’ve being waiting for this game for long time, but I’m really, really disappointed by it.
    The game is truly unpolished and has so many problems and, really little positive things so far.
    The Bad: - poorly optimised - bloom effect while aiming - exaggerate recoil which makes shooting a nightmare - Maps are HUGE but empty and with no repairs - Too many vehicles spamming everywhere    I’ve being waiting for this game for long time, but I’m really, really disappointed by it.

    - no leader boar and not stats
    - unable to choose the server where to play
    - unable to join different squads
    - really poor team play, almost no one reviving teammates
    - many bugs
    - Snipers EVERYWHERE and too much verticality and mobility
    - Spawning time is too quick and enemies are keep spamming nearby
    - Spawn system is **** up, I got spawn killed countless time in few matches
    - horrible sound for a BF game

    They completely gave up on the game's identity and instead of making a game for people who love the series tried to make a game for apex and cod fans but released it half-finished. They also seem to have completely misunderstood what people loved about the series.

    -Bad gunplay

    This can be a great game but instead they rushed it, left out core features and systems out. Mix that with **** balance and bugs plus UI designer that is 5 years old....

    Stop trying to be COD, your not just be battlefield FFS.

    Lets hope in a year its fixed so that no-one can play it. Frist impressions man how hard is that to understand.

    Extremely buggy, unsatisfying gameplay, barebones content. Portal will not save this game even if many believe it will. Overall, it may be fun in a years time, but for now it is a terrible excuse for a 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.
