    Worst Battlefield ever made. Only 2 good point i see : crossplay/crossprogression and 128 players.
    The rest ? 10 steps back on all aspect on the game.

    Huge huge shame for Dice and EA. 5 teams on this game. 3 development years (or more) for this crap ?

    The worst battlefield i have ever played.

    Completely stripped of all emotion and features to make room for a notyet implemented heavy monetization system. This game is barebones to the maximum with only 22 guns in the main mode and 7 maps. The maps might be big, but they are empty as **** and not fun to fight on as infantry. Since all teamplay features have been removed anyways, even    The worst battlefield i have ever played.

This game is barebones to the maximum with only 22 guns in the main mode and 7 maps. The maps might be big, but they are empty as **** and not fun to fight on as infantry. Since all teamplay features have been removed anyways, even specialist follow the design philosophy of solo play. All of them are selfish as **** and there is little incentive to be a team player with the lack of rewards for actually helping other players.
    Vehicles are both **** to control and hilariously busted. Why does a ****ty hoverboat out of rubber take 5 antitank rounds to destroy, when it can move at mach 5 while ignoring gravity (see a video of it climbing buildings in hourglass). All vehicles regen health passively, there is pretty much no risk of dying if you have higher IQ than room temperature.

    Hazard zone is just a barebones spin on battle royale. Expect it to be dead quicker than BFV firestorm. Portal is cool, but the laggy ass movement of 2042 exists in portal aswell. The guns also suffer from the same random inaccuracy as the base version guns. With only 2 maps of each respective omage game. It's really not enough to save the package.

    The game runs like absolute dog**** even on a 3080 / r5 5600x setup. It's buggy, laggy and the hitreg is busted.

    SKIP THIS GAME. Maybe buy it in 2 years if it's playable, but so many core features are either missing or fundamentally ****ed up. I doubt Dice will ever be able to make this game actually decent, like they eventually managed with BFV. BFV might not be perfect, but it still miles ahead of this soulless ****heap of a game.    … Expand

    - Bad optimisation
    - Gunplay is not fun (bug at hit reg)
    - Vecicles are to overpowerd (3 direct rocket lunches against hoverboat) - No sea
    - No ships
    - No diving
    - A lot of less weapon
    - Maps are too big

    After several updates, this game is good now. You should give it a try! Graphics are nice, new weapons and characters give more options to player. After playing mw2 for weeks and getting back to battlefield, I can say that I enjoy bf 2042 than mw2.

Me parece que todo está bien plantead, excepto cambiar el modo de monetización a uno basado en operadores y echar por tierra todo lo que la saga había avanzado anteriormente con las opciones tan variadas de personalización, pero la ejecución es pésima.… Expand

    I am gonna be straight forward, this game sucks.
    I have been a huge fan of Battlefield games and I have enjoyed it a lot and I put thousands of hours in previous games.
    You thought they messed up in V? Nope if you are gonna compare 2042 with 5, oh boy! 5 is million times better. What's bad with this? Class doesn't matter. Scoreboard gone, UI **** and low effort i have ever seen, maps?    I am gonna be straight forward, this game sucks.

Scoreboard gone, UI **** and low effort i have ever seen, maps? Worst...you ask why? Empty maps with 4-5 buildings thousand steps apart and that's the map design for all of the maps and you know what even they are optimised extremely poorly and this games shows that there was lowest effort put in the map design, i wouldn't even call it a design a kid draws better maps with his toys then this AAA title. Gun play is not so bad but it doesn't feel like I am playing a bf game. Even when it gives 60 fps and that i on a lowest settings possible on GTX 1070 it feels clunky, game is not smooth at all, optimization is of the biggest issue with the game even if you ignore everything and I have not even touched the bugs part. See the thing is this game is never going to be fixed and it wasn't even intended to be good in the first place, from time to time all these greedy AAA game companies have been pushing thier games as aservice thing and don't value you or care about quality etc. Just do yourself a favour and don't buy these games.

    A game with no core. All the maps of all out warfare feel empty and between every objective there is a long walk where you only have to run and nothing else. Hazard zone is boring and already dead after 1 month from the release of the game. Portal is the better than the other two modes but it is good only because it recycle maps and weapons from better battlefield games of the past.

    It's better than COD, that's all I can say.
    I am disappointed in the main game, it's not fun.
    Maps are too big, air vehicle are not fun their main gun are terrible and the visibility is none, guns are not pleasant to use, the game runs like ass on all but two main game maps (all Portal maps run great), orbital is fine, the beta seems to have given them the time to optimize it, but    It's better than COD, that's all I can say.

    Classic modes in portal are really good though, I give points to the game for it, but they just took the best maps on the best modes of the best games so that was expected, but to me, those old games should not be shelved like that when they are still great to play but have no official support, no moderation, no true vanilla experience, so we have to play on awful private servers to play there. It makes me tired of giving money to EA and Dice.

    It's maybe going to be good at some point, but I am tired of buying sh*te based on promises, I may buy when it's done, but right now, thanks EA Play trial for allowing me to experience 10 hours of this mess without paying 90 euros for that.

    Le mode Battlefield portal n'est pas une excuse, même dans se mode, on ressent tous les problème causé par le moteur de BF2042.

Причем в этой игре напрочь отсутствует какая-либо графика, все текстуры зданий глиняные и пустые, техника выглядит ужасно, модели персонажей смотрятся неправдоподобно они совсем не смогли в пропорции человека, персонажи выглядят как спички.
    Теперь про геймплей: В это просто невозможно играть, оружие стреляет куда угодно, но только не в точку в прицеле, ттк сломано полностью, все бегают с дмрками, просто потому что она убивает за 0.5 секунды, когда любая ar убивает за 2 секунды и это только в том случае если вы мастер аим. Танки и машинки - физика вождения в этой игре в миллион раз хуже чем в киберпанке 2077, в иной раз лучше бежать пешком, чем садиться за руль. Ах да, камера от 3 лица внутри техники, кто это делал - его надо уволить и запретить создавать игры, более неудобной камеры не было ни в 1 игре в которую я когда-либо играл.
    Оружие в этой игре создавал какой-то клоун, некоторые оружие настолько сломаны в плане геймлпея и ттк, что с остальным бегать даже не захочется (это я про дмр).
    Карты: Как можно было сделать настолько плохие карты, они полностью пустые, у тебя есть огромные опен-филды и точки захвата, по сути все, никаких объектов помогающие пехоте хоть как-то передвигаться ничего этого нет ни на одной из карт, ты просто бежишь по пустому полю до точки, потом снова от точки до точки через огромное пустое пространство. Это прям очень плохо, я играл в бф3, бф4, бф хардлайн, бф1 и таких плохих карт никогда не было, к тому же как я и сказал ранее все текстуры в игре просто ужасны.
    Регистрация попаданий - работает сама по себе, ты можешь убить выпустив 5 пуль, а можешь и не убить за все 30 стоячего человека.
    Режимы игры:
    Портал лично мне абсолютно не зашел, бф 1942 вообще не играбельный режим как по мне, бф bad company туда же и bf 3 с картой граница каспия, из-за плохой регистрации попаданий, из-за плохой физики игры, из-за ужасно сделаной физики броска чего-либо (гранат, патрон и т.д.)
    играть в эти режимы даже не хочется.
    Hazard zone - режим игры полностью копирующий игру The division 2, мы с друзьями сыграли 10 матчей сделали стрик из 6 побед и больше в него заходить не хотим. Он сделан очень плохо: во-первых количество реальных игроков удручает, 32 человека это оооооочень мало, если вам повезет то вы встретите 3 отряда людей за игру, но в большинстве случаев, вы находите 1-2 и на этом все, вы просто убиваете ботов десятками.
    Режим совсем не заставляет тебя искать данные, вы можете победить так и не подобрав ни 1 флешки, денег вы получите все равно много.
    Игра совершенно не стоит своих денег, все кто говорят обратное, наверное сами-то и не играли.

    This game would have been way better and original if 2042 was the focus and not a conglomerate heap of remasters, but still have Portal for its sandbox features. I'm sure a lot of precious polish time was thrown away for the sake of "remaster" content. The quality sacrifice for 128 players is possibly the most disastrous decision one could make--with how large the maps are, feels like 6v6 at current state.

    All of this isn't even mentioning operators, freakin' "scavenger hunt" UI, and janky ass animations. I am utterly stunned how my beloved franchise let this happen. Competitors will mop up the sales subsequently.    … Expand

Very open. You spend far too much time traveling to the action, often traversing dangerous open ground in the process. Gun balance is all over the place with SMGs outclassing ARs, snipers reigning king with the open map design and DMRs being the most situational of weapons. Game runs poorly on PC. So, there’s that. This could’ve been something to look over if the core gameplay was engaging, but its not. Its more frustrating than anything else. Bottom line: gun fights feel like they’re decided by the toss of a coin, and the maps don’t offer much by way or tactical depth. When you’re not running the length or Caspian Border to get into position, each experience really just feels like a mindless mosh pit. No doubt some may be enthralled about the this. But I missed the possibility for in-depth tactical squad play. That’s just gone now.… Expand

Movement is clunky, maps are way too big with minimal destruction, only 22 guns on launch? Are you kidding? Specialists are a joke, gunplay is below average, there is no ‘team’ aspect to this game. You do not get rewarded for taking objectives as a squad. They literally took everything good about battlefield and threw it in the bin. No idea how the critics could genuinely give this game anything over a 3/10. Also what is up with the game’s optimization on PC? People who are lucky enough to play on powerful systems are struggling to get anything over 50fps. I know DICE and EA aren’t unfamiliar with poor game launches but this one takes the cake.… Expand

Instead I got a 10h trial with the Xbox Game Pass to check it out and boy am I glad I did. I am pretty sure they were developing some battle royale monstrosity and changed their mind mid development, leaving 2042 with a confused design that feels crudely mashed together. There is a lack of harmony between practically every element of the game. Before you even get into a match you are left frustrated by the atrocious menus which feel like they were designed for mobile or consoles.

    The settings menus are disorganized and hard to read.
    The multiplayer menus are devoid of functionality.
    There is no server browser, only matchmaking. The ONLY option you get is the gamemode, and those are distinctly lacking compared to previous games.
    You can't choose what region to play in or an acceptable ping.
    You can't choose what map you want to play on—you get thrown into a random map and can end up playing the same map several times before you get what you want.
    There are only two main gamemodes.
    When the round ends you get booted to the main menu, but not before the game forces you to wait through multiple post-match filler screens and cheesy Overwatch "hero" style one liners.
    There is no classic scoreboard so you can't see ping, K/D, classes, number of players, etc.
    You can't change teams.
    You can't join, create, lock or kick from squads.
    You can't chat to the other team and the chat box is so tiny your messages get hidden.
    The specialist/class system is nonsensical and has no rock/paper/scissor style tradeoffs with their weapons/equipment.
    There are very few guns and hardly any equipment to choose from.
    Specialists have absurdly broken special abilities like the wingsuit that can cover huge distances or the gizmo for hacking aircraft.
    Despite the maps being gigantic the guns have absurd random spread that makes medium to long distance engagements a diceroll.
    There is no xp incentive given for teamwork as in previous games.
    Range of movement is a downgrade from BFV with multiple features like crouch-running missing.
    Despite the lacklustre graphics the performance is ABYSMAL, even on new high end hardware on low settings.
    Rough releases are common for BF games but this is something else—I don't believe it is salvageable with the effort Dice are likely to invest in it. It COULD be fixed, but it is not likely to be.

    Battlefield 2042 was revealed to the world in form of a bombastic trailer that got everybody and their loved ones hyped up to no end, until the absolute **** disaster that the Open Beta dropped.

    "Calm down dude, it's only a 3 month old build, the final release will be MUCH better and more polished", the people defending this inexcusable garbage said. So how did this excuse hold up? ABSOLUTE ****

    This game does NOT feel like Battlefield but rather a bastardized mutant stitched together out of Call of Duty, Apex and a few aspects of Battlefield. Let me remind you this game was supposed to copy MW 2019 and was not even intended to be a proper Battlefield from the get-go.

    Furthermore this abomination disguised as a final release lacks BASIC features in any FPS like a **** scoreboard (not a joke), voice chat, all chat (dice doesn't want your feelings hurt in a game made for adult didn't you know?) not to mention the UI/UX is downright atrocious, the movement is a straight downgrade feeling incredibly janky and floaty (BF5 had amazing movement in contrast), it launches with 22 (YES TWENTY TWO) guns total including FOUR assault rifles and the game also lacks a server browser for the sake of implementing SBMM to continuously sell the whales skins.

    Let me remind you that this game has had 3 years of development time, 4 studios working it, Battlefield 5 and Battlefront 2 died for this atrocity, looks worse than Battlefield 1 which released 5 years ago (which btw had less devs working on it than this) and a delay for the cherry on top. Not to mention the abomination that is the specialist system which throws the beloved and iconic class system straight out of the window in order to yet again sell more skins ($$$ is a constant here).

The concept of "all-out warfare" was executed poorly. I don't want a game where there are too many players concentrated around a few objectives.

I think the major reason to this is due to non-complex yet detailed graphics. Once again, even the buildings you enter are just obstacles rather than something you can use to your advantage. Guns are meh… everyone has talked about it already and therefore my points would be irrelevant. What I do truly miss from this game is the ability to be strategic about all gunfights.

    I have been playing battlefield since battlefield 3 and it's my most favorite game series. I love battlefield series and it makes me sad and I hope the game will change but I highly doubt it. Thanks to that I can't recommend it, not now.    … Expand

    A sanitized and stripped down version of the Battlefield franchise. The game has little soul and feels like a battle royale game that had a conquest mode shoehorned into it. The tone is wildly all over, hitting you with dystopian themes in the intro mission. These carry throughout until you hit the end of match screen, where 3 standout players and their specialists berate you with SaturdayA sanitized and stripped down version of the Battlefield franchise.

    There are enough reviews listing missing features that I don't think they need to be repeated here. The game feels like a late Alpha build in its current state. Hopefully things can be turned around, but after the issues with BFV I'm not confident.

    Wait for a huge sale or try it through one of the many subscription services that provide access before spending your money directly. There's still some fun to be had in the chaos.    … Expand

    I spent $100 to have my game crash 5 times in less than 6 hours. The maps are way too big and the weapons are completely unbalanced. Essentially is a play test beta that costs a minimum of $70 if you are on next gen. Wait until this one gets fixed!!

    The worst "Battlefield" ever. Bugs, horrible graphic, boring maps, characters... Don't buy it.

    There is no Metro 2042, besides all of the others complaints, hence easily 0/10.

    Don't go into 128 player mode and the game is great. I hope the game gets better, I even liked everything except 128 players. Specialists great idea and diversity, breathes new life into the battlefield. PLEASE DON'T QUIT 2042 FINISH IT, YOU HAVE A FUTURE.

    I even really like this game. Despite all these bugs, she is beautiful. I hope for DICE company that they will make the game even better. I'm giving them a chance.

    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.
