    Ok, this trash made me do an account here so.

    1. Do not call this Battlefield, because all fundamentals of BF franchise are GONE !!! 2. Its more over than a year and this game lacks much of a content. Its a sad downgrade. 3. Vehicles have terrible physics, game as well. HOW THE HELL can a jeep with 1-2tons push away from a road a TANK ???? You know, the **** TANK with weigh over
    Ok, this trash made me do an account here so.

    1. Do not call this Battlefield, because all fundamentals of BF franchise are GONE !!!

    2. Its more over than a year and this game lacks much of a content. Its a sad downgrade.

    3. Vehicles have terrible physics, game as well. HOW THE HELL can a jeep with 1-2tons push away from a road a TANK ???? You know, the **** TANK with weigh over 50 tons and more. Its a joke, here tanks ramming each other jumps around like they are built from a paper. World of tanks, a free games can teach you how to do it, play it and see how bad you are with doing this stuff. Other vehicles are terrible too, it has a feeling like a chinese ripoff game. AND YOU GOT THERE CRITERION signed as a part of a team, they done racing games, were they high or drunk?

    4. Weapons... WTH??? they shoot with almost no spread like some lazy dumb airsoft guns with a terrible sounds too. So few of them, so few options to customize. But at least we can have stupid flashy skins, right? Shove them up yours...

    5. Movement. Soldiers run around like on cocaine fast and chaotic spraying all over everywhere with their airsoft guns. It feels like they are rollerskating. BFV done movement excellent, why you butchered it ????

    6. Wall/cover leaning. Why its not present? Is this counterstrike 1.6 ??? It was there before in BF and now its gone. Stupid decision. And what I hate about this game most is players running through each other !!! Bumping in other players in a game was part of adrenaline when you are trying to run for cover in front of a grenade. Now its not feeling like you are a part of it. Adrenaline atmosphere is GONE !!!

    7. Cringe specialists at least are shutted up after a match. BUT THEY DESTROYED TEAMPLAY !!!! No one bothers to revive, really few others do. And ammo, oh god, NO ONE EVER drops ammo crates. On the other hand snipers on the end of the map are there camping with their ammo crates, because snipers with infinity ammo camping is a great idea. I played BF1 after uninstalling 2042 and it felt like its tactical heaven, everyone was working together.

    8. Sounds. Better than at a beginning. But that Music is something. Why it even exist? Farting in a toilet when I have diarrhea is more pleasing to my ears. Whoever done that **** should be fired.

    9. Graphics. Thats the only thing I can give credit for. Its nice. But somehow, its really demanding on your hardware. Still BF1 is much more better to look at and performs great.

    10. Maps. They got better. But they look dull. That desert map looks unfinished and oh boy, do not let me start about destruction in this game. Shooting into a scyscrapper with a tank leaves nothing. Not even a scratch. That is just lazy. And spawning is still broken. There is a good a chance that in 1 of 3 spawns you will face enemy who will empty his magazine into your face because you are doing magazine check animation. You know like in reality when someone shoots at you in open space. In a TDM I have been 4 time in a row thrown into this situation. Just lovely.

    This game is the worst what this franchise could encounter. Trailer looked like fun, then reality punched majority of fans into a face. Thats your loveletter to battlefield fans. Many of us went back to older titles and your servers in 2042 are mostly empty filled with AI. In a last two decades its now for the first time I will not buy a BF game. Its not worth even 5€. Price you ask is ridiculous. Experienced 40+ hours with gamepass and this day I uninstalled it for good. Everyone who is responsible for this game should punch himself in his face with a rock. Shame on you, you ignorant morons.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst FPS of the last 10 years. Being a long time BF player since BC2 and a competitive player of BFV, 2042 is sub par in every way possible to the previous installments. It lacks all the features of previous titles that made it great, wild only giving the fan base an half baked cake of every other fps title in the mix whilst missing out the main ingredient.. Battlefield itself. Dead is the glory of what made battlefield great with the release of 2042. Expand

    Wow this game sucks. I meet the recommened specs and still have 40fps, with the game stuttering every 10 seconds.

    It also doesn‘t feel like a real war. It glorifies violence. War in a collapsing world is portrayed as something cool.

    Refunded, might buy again in a sale in a few months. In it‘s current state it is just not worth it

    I intend this to be a honest review of the game:

    After 27 hours of playing this game , overall I think there is alot of fun to be had here.I will break down each component of the game and give my opinion:

    Specialists:
    While controversial, since they have replaced the core class system, the new specialists while are generic in terms of abilities, being similar to a lot of other games. The specialists work well with the environments provided , the non-linear map design allow for dynamic gameplay. While accomidating a variety of playstyles between players. No specialist feels overpowered with their abilities , there are some bugs with the wingsuit after playing with it the most with the specialist offering it.

    Overall the specialist system is pretty decent.

    Guns:

    The guns are pretty wonky right now , gun progression unlockiing new guns is incredibly slow. The current meta being mostly based around the SMG's , specially the PP-28. Being the current best gun to use.

    Hit Registration is abit wonky too as of now , depending on server latency, it ranges from game to game however these decencies can hamper you experience.

    Attachments progression is great , while I can think of any improvements there probably are some.

    Maps:

    The maps are great , being non-linear , accomidating all playstyles and providing a range of environements to fight in.

    Portal:

    Portal is great too, if you enjoy traditional Battlefield with the twists provided by custom servers back in the day, I highly suggest playing this. While the content provided is lack lustre currently , the ability to create unique game modes I think surpasses the current in game content for portal.

    For people who dislike the specialist system , the game is definetly worth buying for portal.

    HardZone:

    Havent played , cant say.

    Bugs:

    Being recently launched, their are plethora of glitches that you can look up, the game is further pretty unoptimised, with frequent lack spikes on a variety of system specifications. If this would hamper your experience, i suggest not playing.

    Lack of content:

    There isnt much being UI provided content , the lack of stats and traditional scoreboards is pretty annoying.

    The lack of all chat I think is a good decision , since toxicity between both teams occurs. However for people saying there is no chat, are misunderstood for lack of VOIP , which is annoying and confusing to why it is not at launch.

    Overall:

    Overall, the game has a very good foundation to become something great , the bugs do hamper the experience , I would suggest buying if you want to play it after a couple of patches.

    Broken launch with lots of rubberbanding and hit reg issue. Vehicles have more junky physics, and the UI is one of the WORST of any battlefield.

    I’m just horribly disappointed by this game.

    Even after DICE and EA announced that this game was “months” ahead of schedule, to the surprise of no one, DICE has released yet another game in a broken state, but bugs and glitches aren’t the only issues with this game. This game is hardly Battlefield. The immersion is gone, the teamplay is gone, the map design is horrible, the player count

    There are no classes, there’s no scoreboard, no all chat, the controls are stiff, there’s a weird anti aliasing filter, lighting is off, you can’t tell who’s who, this whole game is just a mess. 2042 needs to take the Halo Infinite route and sit in the incubator for maybe another 6-8 months.

It's anything, but Battlefield. It's a bad mixture of Apex Legends, COD and a free-to-play Chinese fps for mobile phones. The gunplay - disgusting, DICE made the bullet spread completely random. They cut out all the game modes but conquest and breakthrough and made the maps HUGE. Which resulted in endless running from one objective to another only to get sniped in conquest and 64 vs 64 battles in one little sector in Breakthrough. This is not a BF game, this is garbage. And don't get me starting on the UI and the lack of scoreboard "to make new players feel comfortable" bs. Oh yeah, they copied the specialist system from cod, yeah, but they missed the fact that each faction in game had different specialists, because it's STUPID to kill operator named BORIS only to get revived by the Boris fighting on your side.
    PLUS. I can't mention the optimization of the game, even though it was the thing for DICE since BF3 I think. You can't get above 50 fps on 3700x and 2060 super on any settings in 1080p. I mean it's a not to notch pc but, why does the BF V runs WAY better while looking extremely better?

    Battelfield 2042 is a mixed bag. The operatives are interesting, but the oversized maps do not allow you to feel the full power of the battle. The portal is very good, I think thanks to the portal this game will not die. Hazard zones are not fish, not meat.

I love the ability to swap scopes and mids while in gameThe problem is while the core gameplay elements are good, there's no WOW factor. You would hope that the first BF game released for next gen would have it, and sadly it just doesn't. I want to love this game, I've tried playing it for the past few days hoping it would grow on me, but it just hasn't. My biggest complaints revolve around the general interface, menu system, navigation elements, controls, and the maps. For starters, there's really only 3 game modes. I know that's not all that different from previous years, but they need to bring back more centralized objective based game modes. Conquest is what it is, a playground for vehicular warfare. Personally that's not my my cup of tea. I love the vehicles, but the maps are so large and the objectives so spaced out that if you don't have a vehicle, your going to be running around for awhile before you see any action.

And not a shiny skin with a cringy voice line at the end of the match, for most spot assists with a drone.

Instead we got a completely new and revamped Battlefield that reminds me all the time of PUBG. Don't get me wrong but I like the fact that studios and developers creating something new and dare stepping out of their comfort zone. But we as veteran players know that Battlefield is a game that likes to set the standard for the next Battlefield title and so on.

    Cons:
    -Devs saying that they were gonna keep most of the physics from BFV and yet released something far from the standard.
    -Devs and reviewers are being paid or told on how to review the game. The twitter accounts from the devs was such an organized attack on promoting "ThE BeSt BaTtLeFiElD gAmE wE hAvE eVeR cReAtEd"
    -Basic and poor destruction that feels like BF3-4
    -Performance issues while GPU & CPU are only utilized for 50-60%
    -128 players (I've noticed that when encountering more players the lag spikes starts to occur)
    -Map design (this is the worst map design I have ever seen in a BF title. Textures are sharp, every buidling and model looks squared, too many open space. The game throws you into a tutorials on the dessert map, at first I thought I downloaded BF2. My first reaction to this was: "I want the game from the trailer".
    -What's up with the bullet spread?
    -Long range shooting feels RNG-based
    -UI (It's improved comparing with the Beta but still has a long way to home. I see people on reddit making redesigns who should be hired immediately)
    -Options menu is a mess but this is the least of my concerns
    -The classes. Besides destruction, the classes are the kind of thing that makes Battlefield classic. I don't like the mixup with operators and classes. There is already so much to focus on and now I have to filter players of them cheating or having some kind of sketchy operators that can scan through walls. The players don't like it and it should be removed instantly.

    Mids - Pro's:
    -The scoreboard. Everyone is complaining about bringing the old scoreboard back. I honestly don't care at all. This Scoreboard is a step into the right direction and devs should make everything a bit more objective based to have a much better team experience.
    -The weapons. I don't mind having 22 guns to choose from. In the end I only play with the same kind of weapons and at this stage of the game with all the hitreg problems there is no gun that has my preference. People also seem to forget that this game has more weapons which you can find in the Portal mode.
    -Portal. This is the only spark the game has to offer but at this point I'm starting to think if it wasn't better for them to release remakes of the games with the BFV engine (Remakes, not remaster). That would've put them in a better spotlight then BF2042
    -No story mode. It's personal preference between 'Play a story once' or 'play a better multiplayer'. However we now have a full team concentrating on Multiplayer and still received a burning house.
    -No all chat. I leave this in the middle but I don't miss it at all. 90% of the time the chat is being used to flame.

    Once again they pulled the rug from beneath our feet. Took our money and run. They will come back in 6 months with a update that makes everyone happy just to take it away three months later. The lesson to be learned here is that if the beta doesn't satisfy you, you should not be preordering or buying the game at release.

    This whole thing looks like a mobil game that ported to PC. Weird movement and mouse lagg/jitter. The graphich and sound desing is the worst from the BF series, they didn't even bother to put some pumping/fast-paced music at the end of the rounds. The contetn is poor few unbalanced maps and weapons. The weapon models are too big and ugly and the UI is the worst I've ever seen in a game.This whole thing looks like a mobil game that ported to PC. Weird movement and mouse lagg/jitter.

    Viele Bugs, schlechtes Gamedesign und die fehlende Essenz früherer Battlefield-Spiele machen BF2042 zum womöglich schlechtesten Ableger der Serie. Eine Spiel ohne Seele, das den gleichen Weg wie Call of Duty einschlägt und dabei seine Ursprünge vergisst. Nie zuvor war ich derartig enttäuscht über den Release eines neuen Spiels und rate jedem eindringlich vom Kauf dieses Spiels ab.

    I've never been one to slam a game; developers spend a lot of time working on these projects and there's usually some features that are positive and I often have some hope that the developers can redeem themselves in the future.

    Nothing about this game is positive. It's a disgusting, abysmal insult to the franchise, and plays more like a cheap mobile knock-off of Battlefield than a next-gen AAA iteration. Frankly, it's easily the worst game of the entire franchise. I've never given a negative review for a game - usually I'll just leave it alone and move onto something else. But not this time. The sheer gall that EA has to create this utter tripe and then sell it for top dollar is the most insulting thing I've seen in this industry. This game needed a good 2 more years of development, if not a complete overhaul.

    The woeful part about all of this is they'll get away with it. Again and again they ruin games by forcing developers to rush to please investors. People will continue to pre-order ultimate editions and EA will continue to exploit this by increasing their speed at churning out awful, unfinished content for higher prices. They're a business first and foremost and care very little for the games that they produce or in fact the players.

    We'll never get everyone to stop pre-ordering and unifying against EA—that's a lost cause. Instead, sadly, the only people that can really do something about it are the developers who can choose to stop working with EA entirely.

    The high scores from "critics" has actually proven that these companies are paid by EA to provide good reviews. Someone actually gave it a perfect 100. How?

    An absolutely baffling situation.

    Score updated to reflect changes.

    I cannot and will not comment on the multiplayer aspects as that was not why I got BF2042. I simply wanted to screw around and have fun with my bro on co-op.

    Before the game even officially launched, the progression for solo and coop matches are stripped away, leaving us with near-stock weapons with basic attachments. No news regarding reimplementation or anything, just a broken promise of "shared progression".

    We really don't care if there are players out there who think getting everything via bot farming on BF Portal makes them feel cool or something. It only makes them look like skill-less fools. But we do care if someone at DICE/EA decides that the solution should be that ALL solo and co-op matches, including official modes, should have progression stopped. It's an utter disgrace of a decision and shows absolutely zero thought at all.

    Aside from that, I've had fun with coop - no lies. AI on highest difficulty is satisfying to play against. It's not perfect but good enough. At least with Portal I can play the other BF teams, fully unlocked so there's some fun to be had there. My verdict -- co-op is fun, but if you're getting it for just that, then don't get it until they reinstate progression for solo and co-op. Or on a massive discount. This is my only purchase of an EA game at full price in 10 years... Trust EA to manage to mess up something as simple as this.

    Очень добротный Battlefield?
    Да, именно так, несмотря на странную оценку пользователей.
    Хорошее развитие серии, в котором есть контент для любителей любого Battlefied, для вечно ноющих что раньше было лучше portal, hazard zon как напряженное и динамичное сессионное развлечение в силу низкого ттк и постоянного сражения с врагами, All-out-warfare как развитие идей battlefield.

    К стрельбе были претензии в бете, из за низкой отдачи, отдачу поправили теперь.

    Ощущение и передвижение персонажа очень походит на warzone(modern warfare(2019)), не думаю что это большая проблема, для современного милитари шутера это скорее плюс, ибо позаимствована она довольно хорошо.

    Войс-чата нет, хотя разработчики уже написали что он выйдет в ближайших обновлениях.

    Браузер серверов со всем контентом уехал в портал, он никуда не пропал как пишут некоторые пользователи.

    Баги так или иначе пофиксят, они слишком много денег ввалили в эту игру-сервис. Оптимизацию так же подвезут по той-же, на мой взгляд причине.

    Контент наверняка будет завезен с 1м сезоном.

    Как мне кажется это очень удачное продолжение battlefield, возможно в последствии hazard-zone станет бесплатным, добавят скины, батлпасы, контента накинут, ивенты завезут.
    Из этого Battlefield EA будут очень долго качать деньги, по модели проверенной warzone.

    Мои личные ощущения на 9 из 10, эта игра явно не хуже 6 из 10 все что ниже 6 это нытье ради нытья... как мне кажется.

    A very solid Battlefield?
    Yes, that's right, despite the strange user assessment.
    A good development of the series, in which there is content for fans of any Battlefied, for always whining what used to be better portal, hazard zon as a tense and dynamic session entertainment due to low ttk and constant battle with enemies, All-out-warfare as a development of battlefield ideas.

    There were complaints about shooting in beta, due to low recoil, recoil has now been corrected.

    The feeling and movement of the character is very similar to warzone (modern warfare (2019)), I don't think this is a big problem, for a modern military shooter it is rather a plus, because it is borrowed quite well.

    There is no voice chat, although the developers have already written that it will be released in the next updates.

    The server browser with all the content went to the portal, it did not disappear anywhere, as some users write.

    Bugs will be fixed one way or another, they have poured too much money into this game-service. Optimization will also be brought up for the same reason, in my opinion.

    The content will probably be delivered with the 1st season.

    It seems to me that this is a very successful continuation of the battlefield, perhaps later the hazard-zone will become free, they will add skins, battle passes, content will be thrown, events will be delivered.
    From this Battlefield EA will be pumping money for a very long time, according to the model of the proven warzone

    Thoroughly enjoying this game. It reminds me of BF4, but with more action. Small fights throughout a hectic, chaotic 128 player massive Battle. Really enjoying the specialists and the different aspects they bring to the game. Tactical squad play with friends is fantastic.

    I preordered the Gold Edition and have played the game since the beginning of the early access and to be honest: I was very disappointed in the beginning. I'm talking about heavy issues concerning the servers, connection, and the game itself. It was partly unplayable.
    I am also underwhelmed by the maps themselves, even though they are mostly working for what they want to be, they are just not as stunning as in previous parts (e.g. Arras). Furthermore, the buildings are a farce in comparison to what I expected.

    After a few days in which I put LOTS of hours into the game, I have to change this impression. Sure, the overall graphics haven't improved. But first of all, the developers uphold a close communication with the community on their Twitter page and have fixed server issues quite quickly. They also adapted some changes (e.g. increase of tickets in breakthrough) which really helped improve the feeling of the entire game. There are still annoying bugs (e.g. revival or spawns), but that's nothing that cannot be fixed by patches, especially since they already announced a huge day one patch.

    The gameplay itself feels good for me, the guns mostly are what they are supposed to be, even though the ARs could use a little less bloom and the hovercrafts are way too strong. But the game works. At first, I was skeptical about the new specialist system since I know the "old" battlefield since 1942. But to my surprise, I got used to it really fast since everything the old system did is, even though in another way, still in the game.

    To sum it all up, I am not 100% convinced, but I see the potential and since BF4 also had a really rough start, I believe that the developers are eager to improve and fix the minor issues to create a better overall experience. I am definitely having more and more fun from day to day and hope that DICE continues listening to the criticism of the community.

    When it comes to the USA vs. Russia, there should be different equipment and not that they all run with the same characters with same customization and skins. All BF game they had different nations with customization. Why is here USA vs Russia and both nations they have no different customization characters? Or different skins per Nations.

    10/10 Review:

    Hear me out veterans. I was just as loud and as unhappy as most of you here.

    And then I started my trial. Was fuming by the end of my 3 hours.

    Fast forward to almost being done with the 10 hr trial and I realized I've had more (new) fun in 2042 recently than I can care to remember.

    I'll take no scoreboard to not being able to try out a chopper because of sweaty pilots hogging them.

    2042 is flawed and I'll only be playing Espinoza to spite EA and will not be spending a penny more than $53.99 because I really think this is a worthy experiment from DICE to (maybe) truly evolve the series.

    I'm in because 2042 still provides that adrenaline rush you get with vehicular combat.

    Won't be sad to see all those pledging to abandon the series go because I still see them sh*t talking in the game chat instead of you know, PTFO.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    3/10 Review:

    I might as well have been dropped into the middle of No Man's Land in Red Dead.

    Running simulator extraordinaire.

    So purdy and yet so empty. Just like the broads running around on Insta today.

    I know the series is supposed to evoke the sense of being on an actual battlefield, but this is still supposed to be a game, yes? Or, are we gonna start turning this into some survival/sim type game where I gotta stop and pull out an MRE and cook it too?

    The prettiest UI and none of it tells me what I want.

    Feeling lost, overwhelmed and bored is definitely groundbreaking for this series.

    Gonna finish out the remaining 7 hrs for lolz, unsubscribe from EA Play and wipe my SSD down with an alcohol wipe before setting it on fire. Just to be sure.

    Unfortunately it’s actually really good game with great potential the problem is the salty snowflake gamers who expect perfection and have this privileged mindset that it’s not exactly what they wanted they have to ruin it for everyone else they have without doubt crippled the gaming industry

    ppl are crybabies lol, the game is still incredibly fun despite a few performance issues and too much bloom. seriously aside from those two things its in really good shape. And it’s definitely one of the most bug-free launches in any battlefield games in the past decade or 2

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played battlefield games from the beginning when 1942 was released, I don't understand people why they are so angry on seeing new features and changes is not this the way to progress if they haved delivered the same game just with diffrent guns and skins all will start complain again, just like cyberpunk when it was relased well everybody have bad experience and complaining about the bugs well I have finished with no issues, and just like now Ok i see here and there some bugs yes they will be fixed I'm getting tired people talking like they all know how to program and make games and saying so many things well technology evolved and is not so simple to make games now days, the game is great and I love to see new changes, and diffrent mechanics, the game is worth it and I love it!

    The only thing I can think of that is probably problems is the optimization I have Ryzen 7 5800x and rtx 2080 super 32gb ram and getting around 50 to 80 fps

    I love this game so far, its not as good of bf4, but really good. I love how the specialist work, you can play with different abilities and change the pace of the match and how people push. The fact that I can play at the very start and have very little issues is proof that they needed that extra time. I can see myself playing this game for the next few years just because its so fun.

    Does this game have issues? Yes. I’d like to see a normal scoreboard and I’m not a fan of the blooming I’m seeing with the guns at longer ranges. But, am I having a blast? Also yes. This game is tons of fun. The way I see it, they fix these issues (and others) and we will have a truly awesome game on our hands.

    This game is not so bad to deserve such a low rating. Yes startup problems are bad, but not 2 points

    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.
