    Hands down better than bfv! A few bugs but portal and hazard zone makes it worth the buy!

    I love the battlefield, and I hope they fix most of the problems they have at the moment. Maybe I'm a little naive, but we don't have normal alternative shooters

Il faut prendre le temps de s'habituer au jeu et ne de passe limiter à juger le jeu en 10min. Pour ma part j'ai eu quelques léger bug de clipping ou impossibilité de respawn durant l'early accès qui on été corrigé le 18. Depuis plus aucun bugs. Il reste des éléments manquants comme tableau des score. Voix IP d'escouade, gérer son escouade, harmoniser la puissance des armes et surtout, l'overboard qui pourri de nombreux game et qui va être patché sous peu ... Mais a part l'overboard, ce n'est dans les faits pas plus dérangeant que ça... Pour le moment je lui donnerai 14/20. Et si ils rajoute/corrige certains éléments il montera facilement a 18 voir plus. Mais cela n'est que mon avis Expand

    I like the new Battlefield a lot. Beautiful graphics and a very fitting story behind it. The game lacks content but you know how it is...

    + Beautiful
    + Innovative
    + I like the soundtrack

    - No destruction
    - Lack of urban areas
    - Lack of content
    - VERY MINOR bugs

    And no, for some reason the game has less bugs than BF5 for me.

    So people use metacritic to complain. But if you want an honest review:
    - Its a really fun battlefield game. The all-out warfare is impressive (64 vs 64) but choatic. You will end up dying alot because you really need to have eyes on your back. Breaktrough is fun mode, but being 'the attackers' is just tough love.
    - I played on PC with 5900x + 3090 at 1440p. I got smooth 140 fps on ultra

    - I played on PC with 5900x + 3090 at 1440p. I got smooth 140 fps on ultra settings.
    - Portal offers many choice. I love to go back to the WW2 era. The old but new maps like El-Alamein is reliving my childhood fantasy.
    - If you read that people are complaining about having only 4 assault rifles... Its just something to flame on. Why would 4 assault rifles be bad? Who says they won't add more later ? Like CoD does. People judge this game too quickly.
    - People complaining about PC performances; people think that their 2060/2070 is state of the art hardware and expect to have no problems running this game. What people forget is that having 128 players in a server, means it will ask more processing power from your system. You cannot compare this with a 12 man tdm server on call of duty. Like in World of Warcraft, I get 400 fps. But once there are 200 people in my screen and casting spells, i guarentee you, my fps will drop to 20 and everything will feel like a powerpoint slideshow. Its not only about hardware and optimalisation. Its a compromis you have to make if you want big all-out warfare. So stop comparing "But i get 200 fps on BF:V and i get only 70 fps on BF2042, this game is bad and badly optimized so i will leave a 1 star review").

    What could improve:
    - Few bugs (mostly on xbox) could be fixed like; UI bug which doesnt allow you to change gear, joining a crashed server (it shows the round has ended but a new map wont load) and when you die, you sometimes get bugged and cant respawn. Dice should give these bugs piority as it influences gameplay alot. Minor bugs like falling through the map after dieing... i consider this normal if you compare that there are 64 vs 64 people shooting at eachother which all kind of tanks and airplanes.
    - Remove bots. Really DICE, I truely stand behind many of your choices, but the bot thing... I understand but no.
    - Weapon handle; aiming is really difficult with for example assault rifle. Even shooting short bursts make it sometimes seem impossible to kill while on the other hand, i feel like dieing instantly when enemy shoots at me.

    What you should ignore:
    - People complaining about no scoreboard; BF2042 tends to motivate people to push objective. It doesn't matter how you contribute to it. If you are the sniper staying behind, the medic that attacks or the heli that brings down hell on your enemy. Scoreboards dont tribute anything to it. Having scoreboards in other BF always led to discussion and complaining about a person when he was really good with airplanes or tanks (you could easily get 40 kills - 0 deaths). I can remember the hate and crying you would get and people call you cheater etc.
    - It tried something new with specialist. I like'd the old class system better as well. It was much more clearer somehow. But after playing more than 20 hours you get the hang of it and you see the point they are trying to make. Yet people complain just because it is a change and they don't like change.
    - I am really happy about no voice option.

    The game is mostly good. Setting, weapons, gunplay is all pretty on point.

    It needs some UI tweaks/optimization options. I have a pretty good machine with a 3060ti and haven’t experienced the FPS issues others are having. (Not running max settings obv) Map size will take some getting used to if people aren’t calling in vehicles. My biggest complaint especially at the lower levels is this

    Map size will take some getting used to if people aren’t calling in vehicles. My biggest complaint especially at the lower levels is this feels like an infantry farming simulator. Vehicles are crazy strong and at low levels you don’t have the tools to deal with them.

    Specialist system in its current iteration I would probably rate a 5. Most abilities are useless or barely noticeable where 1-2 are leaps and bounds better than everything else. (Looking at you walk hack and grappling hook)

    2.3, the current user score is far too low when I write this. This game is much better and is generally being undersold. For example, I would bet big money that those writing a poor review for this game have not spent over 24 hours playing it. At first glance, yes, the game looks terrible. However, after playing it past 24 hours, I enjoy this game. Why?
    1. Choices. This game offers a vast number of play styles and choices. Want to fly in the air or travel on the ground? Do you want to fight solo or support a team by being a medic? Want to fight up close or far in the distance using a sniper rifle?

    2. The maps are great. They are massive, with enough for 128 people having 5-6 mini battles throughout.

    3. Talking here only for the PC servers, since I have not checked out the cross-servers, this game's skill level is very high. Many highly talented players play this game, and you are sure to find competition at ALL levels. Think you are the best in the game? You will very likely find another player with your skill level or higher.

    4. I think the graphics are amazing. Battlefield 2042 has incredible artists making the clouds in the game - yes, the clouds. I think the mountains and all the nature bits of the game are fantastic and artistic. Running through the forests and mountain ranges alone is... actually fun.

    Take it from me - I have died probably more than anyone else in this game. However, it is STILL fun to play. The gaming community is underselling this game... and frankly makes it a rare gem. If you buy this game, try and play it long enough and be humble.

    UPDATE several months later: The flaws of this game:
    1. Scoreboard only includes your squad and not everyone in the game. It does compare your squad with other squads, but that is not accurate of individual performance.

    2. I found I have to play cross-platform in order to play. If I play only with PC users, there can be instances where there are not enough players to start a game.

    3. This game is riddled with bugs. Some bugs are easy to live with, but several bugs crash the game. I have heard of people getting stuck and having to redeploy. I have heard of people getting stuck in the sky or the earth. I have had it that all players and vehicles become invisible for a long time, and only their guns are seen. These bugs continue and, in some way, are getting worse in the game since its launch months ago.

    4. There is no way to play nonviolently. Every aspect leads to violence for anyone that wants to chill out in this game and relax - probably not the game for you.

    5. In the in-game chat, I have heard racist remarks. Swearing is consistent amongst users, but this is **** starred out.

    6. This game is competitive. If you are playing to have fun, get ready for abusive language about your performance in the chat.

    7. Overall, the community is low in this game. Either nobody is chatting, or there is some argument happening. Trolling is pretty consistent in this game's gaming community.

    The game is currently incredibly buggy and full of hackers (what multiplayer game isn't?) But overall. Battlefield 2042 when it gets a few patches into it has a lot of potential to be a really good game. All in all, the action is high and the combat is good. But if you can look past some bugs. It's a pretty fun shooter!

    A solid entry in the series.

    There are some bugs, but nothing that a few patches couldn’t fix. Specialists are a bit unnecessary, but they don’t make the game less enjoyable, just different.

The core gameplay is still really fun. The expanded scale and verticality of the maps allow for a really unique experience that no other games has to offer.

    While there is a server browser for Portal I would like to see one for the main 2042 gamemode as well. Would also like for the game wide scoreboard to make a comeback, as it’s nice to know how other players are doing even if the list would be huge for 128 player matches.

    Personally I have never enjoyed or finnished the campaigns of the previous games. They always felt a bit tacked on. So this time I appreciate that the resources that would otherwise have been spend on that have now been dedicated to make the Portal game mode which is almost like another game on its own!

    Right now I would give the whole package a 8/10, but over time I would expect it to rise to a 9/10 rating once updates start rolling out with fixes and new content.

Yes, there are problems with the load on the video card, but why bloat a game with such problems in Early Access?

    portal itself has been awesome, some of the bullet spread of weapons has been questionable but the maps remastered are great and the ability to create wild game modes is in full swing you just have to go and find them.

    hazard zone has been a surprising amount of fun, very difficult but very rewarding all the same, its pretty shallow and i have 1300 hours in escape from tarkov so this is very very shallow by comparison but its a side mode to complement portal and conquest and im ok with that, brings my boys together for some proper team work and its ok, i like it.

    the main conquest is as it has been for a few years now which is chaotic and crazy, the new maps i like, reminds me of the big maps in BF2 and that encourages sticking closer to your team mates and using transport, they all have their hot zones and filter points and as long as your pc can handle it the action stays smooth enough to have a good game.

    its far from a solid 10, but its in no way a 1/2/3, absolutely no way. its a bit of a mess but there is a good game in here with potential, the hate for EA is justified though, its quite clear its another game pushed out of the door when it needs another 6 months on the burner but im still having a good time with it, i realize that's rare and its in such a mess who knows what your experience may be like, for that reason it might be wise to wait on some patches and polish but i still think its a good game in general.

    Aside from the typical DICE launch/prelaunch buginess this game pushes the bar forward for Battlefield and the FPS scene in general.

If you're a longtime "veteran" of the franchise (talking refractor engine days, BF2 for example) you'll come to appreciate the massive sense of scale that was missing from the series is back. You can't just run to every single objective on the map and zerg, you're expected to use vehicles and actually defend captured points! The days of solocapping flags with no interference are gone! 128 players makes for some wild action movie gameplay moments that was simply not possible with 64 players. I thought the tornado was just another gimmick like Levolution in BF4 but it's dynamic in it's path and rare to see, adding to the visual presentation of the game. Destruction is on par with BFV and is visually superior in some cases. Smoke effects especially on the rocket launch are breathtaking. All the bar pushing visuals you'd expect from a frostbite Battlefield are present. Hazard Zone is a nice take on a tarkov like mode but it needs more meat, there is potential there. Portal is the love letter to fans that dice claimed it would be, I just hope it gets continued support and we get to see more refractor games in the mix. MEC remastered? DICE plz. There are gameplay concerns in this early stage, specialists don't seem as bad as people made it out to be but I'm unsure of where the meta will go as more are added. Will every specialist remain useful in time? The weapon count in the AOW mode is unfortunately low for my liking. Don't necessarily need BF4s reskined guns with the same stats but a few more weapons with actual variety would be helpful. The plus system is also a nice spin on customization but it's somewhat clunky at the moment. Then there's things like supposed sbmm, the lack of a scoreboard, weird weapon spread when moving, or no server browser on AOW etc. These are things that need to be addressed immediately for the long-term health of the game. I don't agree with many other reviews or opinions you may see where they think these things will plummet the game into oblivion, there's just too many positives weighing those issues down. This isn't a BF4 catastrophe, lawsuit filing level launch, not even close to that and anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or wasn't around back then. I truly believe when the dust settles and more meat is added this game will at the very least surpass BF4. Expand

    Have been away while they did WW1 and WW2 games so been some time since i played Battlefield.
    I think the game is kinda fun actually, it feels a bit more arcade with the weapons which i like.
    The graphics are good, its fast paced and overall a fun game.

    I have a high end PC with 3080 and 9900K, so I won't say anything about the lag or some bugs.
    Bugs I had on this PC: can't join the match, can't re spawn, but that's all. I'm a big fun of machine guns so by now I only used two LMGs and I'm level 34 now.

    To me this battlefield really remains me the good old days in BF4, C4(5) was so much fun! I was worried about no medic or ammo support due to the special system, but it turns out not that hard to get supply from teammates, my playstyle is kind of rush in and die hard, so I didn't experience too much walking like many folks saying. Anything else feels so good! special abilities, guns and graphic. Tanks are a bit too weak since people are carrying too much anti armor equipment. but as infantry main like me it's just so much fun!

(There are like 1/3 of guns that were in BF4) However, the game has plenty of potential, the gameplay loop is fun and invigorating. The gunplay and visceral feedback from the weapons are really great. It feels much more realistic from a gun point of view, (reminds me of “modern warfare 2019”). I think this game is worth $45 or if you’re a big fan of battlefield, your preorder. But I understand why people dislike the changes that it added, but that all can be subject to personal preference. I’m personally glad I picked up this game, and I’m excited to where the fun “only in battlefield” moments will take me. Expand

A real gameplay improvement over past Battlefields simply because of quality of life gameplay improvements such as vehicle drops and being able to change load outs on the fly. It’s a good game because it allows you to mix different eras of Battlefield bringing some of the best maps, vehicles and weapons from past games. Meta critic user ratings has lost itsFirst of all. BF2042 is fun. A real gameplay improvement over past Battlefields simply because of quality of life gameplay improvements such as vehicle drops and being able to change load outs on the fly. It’s a good game because it allows you to mix different eras of Battlefield bringing some of the best maps, vehicles and weapons from past games. Meta critic user ratings has lost its value because people use them just as a way to criticize specific companies and provide a completely emotional and biased review. Many didn’t even buy the game and played the final version. There are people giving reviews of the beta. What’s the value in that? I see people giving high praises to previous Battlefield titles that had a pretty low user score. So whenever a new Battlefiled title comes out it seems previous titles are great games while the latest release is the worst Battlefield ever. Let’s be clear about what is actually bad or needs improvement.
    - Some things are or feel unfinished in BF2042. There is no voice comm for starters that is so needed for squad gameplay and that was clearly left out in order to release the game on schedule.
    - There are no scoreboards as in previous games. I understand why but there should be an option to enable them. The reason not to use scoreboards to motivate players is indeed logical. Battlefield games are not like COD. They are focused on theaters of war where everyone big or small contributes to win or lose in countless ways. In past Battlefield games there were players that were constantly on the top of the scoreboard for some arbitrary logic. Either they were a medic healing everyone and getting lots of points. Or they are sniping killing everyone from a well protected position thus ending the match with a great K/D ratio. And so on and on. Meanwhile there is this guy that has been transporting troops from one point to the other. Or focusing in defending a couple of points that gets a low score. Like it or not that low score removes the fun and sense of achievement. So in BF2042 Dice decided to instead give more focus to how players contributed in the overall match than a typical scoreboard. Most heals, most covering fire and so on. It’s a good approach considering the type of game but choice is something that should always be a priority. Dice should focus on bringing scoreboards back and giving people the choice to enable it or not. A valid point of criticism is also that without a scoreboard or a team overview so to speak its hard to know if a server is balanced. Or if there are too many specialists of a certain kind. There is a small advantage for not having a scoreboard. In previous Battlefields once people noticed a team was losing and players were starting to quit the game, more people quit making it harder for the losing team to recover. Keeping players ignorant is sometimes the best choice.
    Some people are complaining about no classes. That I don’t understand. In each Battlefield and COD game people criticize in how it’s always the same and they need to evolve. Well they evolved. The new system does bring an additional flavor to the game. Does has advantages over past games. Specifically the fact that you can better tailor your character to how you want to play instead of the old class system that forced you to use a limited loadout depending on the class you chose. In BF2042 the loadout is fully customizable. Your not limited by a fixed class. Specialists give you specific gadgets and passive traits that suit different people play styles without overpowering you. It is clearly better than past games. People resist to change but also complain if a game doesn’t evolve. If you search online for actual comparisons between the classes and the new specialist system you will see that those that took the time to compare it always end up with the conclusion that the new system is better.
    Performance wise the game needs improvement. Graphics are really good but not to the point that for some reason a RTX 3080 struggles to get 60 FPS with RTX ON. Also the lack of Ray traced reflections makes no sense. It’s a step back from what people expect. In any case the game runs fine and looks amazing with some minor tweaks.
    Some last notes. Environmental hazards, changing weather and gameplay conditions. Map flow and so on are usually left out from player reviews. The fact that there are so many weapons because you have content from different eras is also left out. So keep that in mind. All these things are positive things that are only available in BF2042. A clear evolution over past games.
    So given all the pros and cons I’m giving BF2042 a solid 8. It’s a good game that could be better with some improvements as detailed above. It brings enough progress to the formula to be considered better than some competitor games and even past games in the series.

    - Core game-modes, horrible.
    - Portal, very fun.

    -----

    Campaign

    To state the obvious the game doesn't have a campaign and for a $60 title I don't understand how it doesn't have one.

    They created this [lore web-series around 2042](https://youtu.be/FJVCfhLEYdo) and it just ended there. No more videos. I personally would have loved a campaign around 'Irish' played by Michael Williams. Sadly he passed away in mid of this year (2021) and now we can never get it.

    Such a missed opportunity to build lore around all of this technology. Sometimes I just want a getaway from the competitive'ness and just play a campaign. If you're searching for the same thing, you won't get it here.

    -----

    Content

    Content is barebones and bad decisions were made when making it.

    Upon playing Battlefield, if you didn't know this game is developed by EA so they do EA things. Do you know what that means, they introduced 'Cap XP' to the point where your XP is capped for that entire day for earning too much. You can still earn XP but it's capped to a specific amount each day.

    - 2042 has 7 maps (not including Portal maps), while Battlefield V has roughly 18 maps.
    - 2042 has 22 weapons, while Battlefield V has 60+ weapons.

    You see where I'm going with this? Yeah... The game just lacks content.

    -----

    Support Roles/Specialists

    First off, as someone who main's Medic... Support roles are meaningless in this game.

    Ammo? No big deal, you can now pickup ammo from the ground.

    Recon? No big deal, classes can now equip a sensor grenade.

    Medic? Pretty much pointless. It takes a whole minute just to revive a teammate compared to Battlefield 4 or Battlefield 1 where it's just instantaneous. You can play as the Medic Specialist and you have a heal gun, sadly you can't revive teammates with it. What's the point in a heal gun when you'll just re-gen the health 10 seconds later?

    The only perk for the Medic Specialist is the ability to revive a teammate for full health... And that's it. They literally brought a perk from the defibrillator once you fully charge it, but instead it's now a character perk. Why kill off a mechanic that wasn't broken?

    Specialists are more self-served rather than manually benefiting the team/squad, this mechanic is what sold millions of copies. Yet you got rid of it. Battlefield, this isn't Apple. You don't need to redo the charging port/headset jack EA. Please stop.

    -----

    Portal

    The Battlefield Portal game mode the ability to mismatch previous Battlefield titles with the current 2042 or older titles and make your own Custom Games or even play 'Hardcore' is what saves this game. This... This was the most fantastic feature DICE has done in 4 years. Without Portal, the game would have been dead at release. It even has a custom browser while the core game-modes don't even have one. Portal was the most fun I had in a long time. Just jumping into Battlefield 3 maps and just going on a rampage taking over flags, taking over a tank and getting the objective. You can't get anything like this from any other game... This is Battlefield, not that bland crap in core game-modes. It's truly remarkable what you can create and play with Portal. ----- Overview All the details from DICE not having a campaign, a scoreboard, the UI, vehicles, lack of weapons, lack of main maps, lack of Portal maps, re-design of the classes... This Creative Director needs to be fired. He still has a mind of a 5 year old that played too much Black Ops 3. He took steps in the right way like Portal but took huge steps backwards. [Here's a list of items](https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/qw8m3b/list_of_things_that_were_removed_in_bf_2042/) of how much got removed from previous titles to this game. DICE purposely stopped Battlefield V development in 2019 to help make 2042 better with more resource management and this is what EA DICE came up with? This is a disgrace to the series. Congratulations to the Portal team, I will buy you a beer. The core game-mode on the other hand... DICE, you failed the fan-base. I can easily spend 60+ hours in Portal, is it worth $60 though, sadly no and that's where I come in and say, I don't recommend it. Get it on a sale.

    I’m just now playing battlefield 2042. I’m playing Escalation and it’s incredible. On a personal note: My New LG C2 television with the RTX NVIDIA makes my former console look puny.

    I would love to love this game. I'd love to sit here and write up the ways in which it pushes the franchise forward and captures on my and others' joy for the series, but the fundamental truth is this: this is the worst Battlefield game there is outside of the phone games.

I'd love to sit here and write up the ways in which it pushes the franchise forward and captures on my and others' joy for the series, but the fundamental truth is this: this is the worst Battlefield game there is outside of the phone games. You can ignore the joke and rage reviews and even the user reviews entirely and still see that this game is getting torn apart by critics. And that is due to a few different things.

    The first thing you notice about the game is the completely different gameplay from previous games. No class system anymore, now you have operators. Each operator has a special ability but all operators can use the same equipment, weapons, secondaries, etc. What this does is it makes everyone run very similar loadouts. Worse, there are very few weapons in the game and the gunplay is fundamentally flawed. Not only does it not feel engaging or responsive, there is no weight to the guns and your shots rarely go where they are supposed to.

    This is a far cry from previous games that felt so responsive and rewarding when you could set up a snipers nest in a building miles away and snipe an enemy. 2042 is about spray and pray. To make matters worse, the maps are terrible. 128 players adds nothing because the maps are so large and desolate you can still run for ten minutes around the map and encounter nobody. That is until a helicopter carpet bombs you into oblivion becuase there is no cover anywhere. The modes are uninspired. While conquest is a decent improvement on previous games the map and player count detract from it. The other main mode feels like a poorer version of Battlefront 2's co op gameplay. The Portal is honestly really good except it is still held back by core gameplay issues. While you have access to classic modes, maps, and weapons and can even use classes, you still have to play via 2042's terrible gunplay and movement. If it was truly a legacy experience this may have been different. Another issue is the terrible ui. Marking targets is worse than previous games, scoreboards are gone, the colors are atrocious, and there is just so much clutter. I have played Battlefield 1942, 2, 3, 4, Heroes, Hardline, and 1 and all of them without exception are better than this game. Even V in it's current state is better and offers more fun and better gameplay mechanics. 2042 is what happens when you throw everything about a franchise out the window to pursue elements of other games without being able to capture upon what makes those other games fun to play. As it stands, it's just a mishmash of a bunch of different fps games with no real identity. It doesn't play like a Battlefield game and it doesn't play like other shooters. It feel lifeless, dull, and boring. I truly hope this game can be improved but from what I've seen it would take a total rehaul from the ground up. Given EA's proclivities to support games to that extent I would not advise others to hold out hope or put your faith in the company to do so. I highly recommend waiting on this game. I know many want that Battlefield experience. I do too. But this game will not give it to you. Try it on Xbox with Gamepass or origin pro on PC before buying and see for yourself. Maybe this game is much better a year from now, but as it stands it falls short of the series and of modern fps standards.

    - No scoreboard is retarded but if you hit tab a mini scoreboard comes up at least.
    - Voice chat with 64 other team mates would be dumb. With that being said, the kill-mic (when you can briefly communicate with your enemy after a death) is always a good time.
    - More destruction would be nice.
    - More weapons would be very welcomed.

    Quite enjoying it so far, put a lot of hours into it so far.
    Laptop Specs are 3080 Mobile, i9-11900K, 64GB Ram, 2 2TB SSD Raid.
    My complains are as follows: *On ultra I get about 60-80 FPS, on the lowest setting seems to only get about 10-20 fps better. *Maps are way larger which is cool, but it can also lead to the player being in the middle of nowhere all by oneself. *Weapon

    *Servers sometimes take a while to get games started (maybe 5-10 minutes).

    +Runs well on higher end system (ssd, 5600x,3070ti)
    +When all is well the all out war mode can be spectacular
    -Sadly the game is full of bugs atm (im writing this on launch week)

    Hopefully dice will improve as time goes on but having no scoreboard is frustrating me atm!

    I am in love with this game. Battlefield is back! Game is beautiful, innovative and is up to date. I got average 62.8 FPS with Core i5 11 gen and RX 570 on Full HD and medium graphics. I am pretty satisfied!

    Most people nowadays complain for anything... The game is still in early access and patches are already in the way. Better leave the reviews for people that is their job. That's why games can't go forward, cuz people still going backward. If you don't want bugs and glitches, play old games that wasn't complicated to make, and with retro graphics

    = Battlefield 2042 that absolutely feels like students summer project/try to copy BF on Unity engine.

    "new" DICE cheap team failed miserably.
    - UI is horrible
    - "Heroes" / Specialists concept was absolutely not needed for BF. EA just copy-pasting CoD for nothing good.
    - Gunplay is a mess, hit- detection not working - "blood" splash on enemy character is clearly visible but damage not counted.
    - Maps are awful. No gameflow whatsoever. Flags are placed just randomly, with no concept in mind. Some maps are absolutely flat.
    - Jets and Heli are now having absolutely "new" controls and feels very sluggish, slow and underpowered.
    - just 22 guns overall.
    - NO SCOREBOARD!?!?? in game

    Every working part of prev. Battlefields starting from BF2, is missing in Battlefield 2042. Even little things like scaling minimap, or adjusting opacity of UI ingame. New DICE screwed up even switches in settings Enabled/Disabled frustrating and you can't say which is on or off now...
    Buy yourself EAplay basic, get 10hrs trial - and see yourself, you'll not want to buy this 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.
  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.
