    Секрет успеха был в них в руках, казалось бы просто сделать обновленную 4ку и все было бы здорово. Но не, они начали что-то то, что давно придумано. Дайсы захотели сделать КОД, но если я захочу поиграть в КОДу, я пойду туда. В итоге-это и не КОД и уже не батла, а кусок говна какой-то.Секрет успеха был в них в руках, казалось бы просто сделать обновленную 4ку и все было бы здорово.

It's just not Battlefield: no real team play, OP Helicopters that can just stand off out of range and kill you (almost impossible for infantry to shoot down), you can't change squads or teams, no scoreboard, the ridiculous cheesy cut scenes at the end " Yah, Angel does it again" (really). I thought I would give it a chance over a couple of days as there is the 'Great Game Guarantee' . Well I was wrong (my fault should have read it more closely), it has to be within 24 hours of launching - so by trying to give it a fair chance and hoping that the lag issues, being stuck on the ground with the revive timer expired (and having to exit the game to reset) and the many issues others have reported and yet no patch release. I have wasted my money on a game that is definitely not what it was marketed to be = lesson learnt! I will never again pre-order a game made by Dice or published by EA. As of writing, a user score of 2.3 from 3010 ratings! Dice and EA should hang their heads in shame for producing one of the worst rated games in recent times. RIP Battlefield.… Expand

I can put up with the bugs, lack of optimization on pc, cartoonish graphics, horrible ui, lack of guns and customization, the worst hit registration i have ever seen in a modern shooter, boring map design with mostly empty space, call of duty vanguard levels of destruction and just a general lack of attention to detail Battlefield is known for.
    However, these are the few things I cannot forgive:
    No persistent servers/match making - what the actual **** dice
    No scoreboard - easiest way to catch cheaters and of course to flex
    No way to switch squads - because being stuck on a squad full of snipers sitting on a hill is where it's at *sarcasm
    No classes - everyone is going to run "meta" specialists and team play has and will be non existent
    Not even a place to check your stats ffs...
    It's been clear Dice hasn't cared about its core fans for a while now but even BFV had a few things it did right. This just seems like a generic free to play game that wants to sell skins. As a proud battlefield fanboy, it's been a really sad day for me knowing that the franchise, as we know it, might be at an end. However, even after all these years, Battlefield 4 is still there to scratch my itch.
    Dice wishes it can make a game as good as that.    … Expand

    Simply horrible. Been playing BF for years now, and this is the worst ever. Has absolutely no redeeming factors. Like the developers wanted to create some other game for non BF players instead of a new experience for their existing customers. Hate it, hate that I wasted my money on this crap, and hate even more that they ruined the franchise.

I'm a software developer; trust me if I say, that most of those bugs will still not be fixed in a year. In software development process, you would start from scratch if you messed it up like they did. No chance of reparing that. There must be some fundamental questionable architectural decision. I only wanted a Battlefield 3 or 4 with state of the art architecture. But they messed it up like they never did before. Even Vanguard is a better game...

    This has nothing to do with Battlefield.

    No scoreboards.
    No classes.
    No destruction.
    No servers.
    No stats.
    No chat.
    The weapons omg. There are literally only 4 ARs. Wtf is this?
    It tries to be a mix of Warzone, Fortnite, R6 Siege, Apex and so on.

    The cringe after game lines.

    This is an unfinished, unpolished and broken game.
    Do not buy this until everything is fixed!

    Unlocking weapons is terrible and uninteresting. There are really 2 weapons that matter anyway. Was one of the most fun aspects of previous BF games. Getting drip fed progression.
    No scoreboard - Just feels really pathetic and pointless.
    Gameplay and weapons feel extremely unresponsive and unreally. The same is true of vehicles.
    The weird physics defying ways some vehicles move.
    Crashes
    Spamming vehicles.
    Awful maps. Lots of empty spaces. They made the maps bigger which should have been nice. But not when the maps are bad and looked empty.
    Which developers worked on this? BF1 was great if they had sorted out the massive hacking.
    BFV was ruined at launch because of the hacking. But it was better than this.
    This franchise is dead. EA seem incapable of launching a decent product.
    Connectivity is a joke.

    I created a Metacritic account for this title especially and it makes me sad to say this. I have been a fan of the Battlefield franchise since 3 and this is the worst launch and release of the franchise yet. I defended this franchise through thick and thin and I am done doing so. I played on the pc with a BEAST of a pc that has no problems running any game on the current market until II created a Metacritic account for this title especially and it makes me sad to say this.

I played on the pc with a BEAST of a pc that has no problems running any game on the current market until I installed this game. Between the constant crashes and bugs and game breaking glitches like killing someone and I am the one that dies even though I never got shot. Every "patch" that comes out breaks the game even more and even makes your hardware on your pc stop functioning properly. Here is my breakdown of this game.

    - Limited number of maps. There is only 6 or so maps on this title so playing multiplayer gets repetitive and boring.

    - Game randomly crashes or freezes for no reason. I am half way through a match and the game will randomly crash or freeze.

    -Limited operators. There are about 11 or so operators in the whole game and there is no difference between the US side and the RUS side on operators. Hell even COD has separation for their operators so you are not looking at 50 of the same people on the battlefield.

    -The game refuses to launch at times. I didn't get the Steam version of the game but the Origin version of the game and my game would fail to launch time to time. I just wanted to play the damn game.

    - Inconsistent recoil and feedback from shots. I love sniper class on Battlefield and at times I would hit someone with my scope set to proper distance. Then another person will stand in the EXACT spot and the same settings on my scope would miss the target with no change in weather pattern.

    -No story campaign at all. Listen I am tired of the same ole military shooter COD story that you can predict the whole thing once you start the game, but this title is missing a campaign badly. If you make a multiplayer only game, you better bring the whole kitchen sink for content and entertainment. Modern gamers do not have the attention span to give them this limited amount of content.

    -Graphics are weird and unrendered at times. I have a 3060 in my rig and a powerful processor in my rig and man do the graphics look terrible. It looks like Dice rushed this game totally in the 15 months they had to build this title.

    -Modern gaming problems that I overall hate. Battle passes, monetization methods, Super duper deluxe edition that isn't worth $200, broken buggy releases with "promises" to fix in the future, etc. This title falls in line with most games out in the last 10 years or so and I am tired of seeing the same **** all the time. I am in my late 30's and have been playing games since the NES and I miss the days where a game came out in stores, ****ty or not, at least the game was complete.

    Overall I would say skip on this title. This is a HUGE disappointment in the franchise and I would heavily recommend not playing this game. Do NOT give EA and Dice the time or day.    … Expand

    It's a Battlefield game, so if you've been playing them since the inception, you already know the routine: (1) spawn (and if you spawn on a squad member, instadeath); (2) wander around aimlessly and get shot in the back; or (3) see an enemy, and they instantly one-shot you from one hundred meters away with a handgun.

That's been my experience with the game since 2002, which is to say it sucks. It's a bad game. It has always been a bad game. I'm now realizing that this game has ALWAYS. BEEN. A. BAD. GAME. But this particular iteration does everything that it possibly can to make sure that YOU - if its suckiness isn't already obvious to you - will absolutely be cognizant of it within just a few minutes of play. How so? Immersion breaking. Every time there's a between match cut-scene, I notice that almost all the character models are women. Now, this would be fine if it were even close to a reflection of reality. But it's not. And to end insult to injury, there's literally a war going on in Europe as I type this where the soldiers that are dying are basically all men. So the people that made this game for some absolutely insane reason made the soldiers nearly all female for reasons that are known only to them. I'm not even close to being a soldier myself, so this doesn't in any way offend me on a personal level. It's just dumb, it's unnecessary, it's weird, it's nonsensical, and it reminds me that I'm playing an already frustrating game made by idiots.

It still manages to be a bit of fun, and the huge player count in matches is cool as hell, but overall it’s a steaming pile of “meh.” Makes me want to reinstall BF1.

    - Developer said they are working on it and will include the feature some time after the launch, which means they've launched the game unfinished IMO.

    2. No Scoreboard
    - No proper stacking score indicator.
    - No squad play bonus score.
    - No long range bonus score.
    - No indicator for how much damage dealt.
    - No repair bonus score.
    - The game doesn't encourage you to PTFO.

    3. No Leaning mechanism

    4. 22 Guns
    - 4 ARs? seriously? 4 ARs?

    5. Sh*t UI
    - Can't change minimap size
    - Controls for chopper/jet smushed together
    - Blurry crosshair for vehicles
    - Bold In game 3D icon wherever the objective is
    - Inconsistent spot system. (Random marker or a vehicle spot)
    - Interrupting and useless commo rose
    - Unorganized clusterf*ck respawn map
    - Every tank shares same icon and every chopper shares same icon on the respawn map.
    - No indicator for where the gunner is aiming at.
    and the list goes on.

    6. No chat for all

    7. Server browser only supports Portal.

    8. Can't rent a server

    9. Kick back to lobby after one game.

    10. Hard to identify friend or foe. (Set aside the bugs)

    11. 20-42 FPS

    12. Pointless cutscenes. (You can move your vehicle during cutscene and accidentally dead)

    13. Pointless individual award screen after match.
    14. No squad options. - No private options on lobby / in game. - No squad change option. - No team change option. 15. Levels that nothing to do with military ranks. 16. Even lesser infantry flow considered within the level design. 17. Bad sound mixing. (which has been downhill after BF3) - Pointless voice over in game. (They should have revisit their previous games for this) 18. Can't choose loadout or operator on some situations. 19. DLSS not working 21. No personal stat page 22. No commander mode (This is debatable) 23. No naval map. (Aircraft carrier only on loading screen haha) 24. No boat 25. No underwater swimming 26. Takedown motion is cheap. Every enemy stands up before they get killed even thought they are crouching. 27. No options for chat filter. 28. Deleted vehicle getting in and off motion I've skipped the bug and the gunplay part because it is pointless to name out the bugs since the core gameplay is not polished. As you know, the list goes on.    … Expand

    I was waiting for battlefield, but they sold me a s****y CoD. I waited and was inspired, but now a complete disappointment in EA.

    A horrifically downsized, disgraceful excuse for a Battlefield game. Terrible lag, no sense of class identity whatsoever, and innumerable bugs that break the experience. Awful.

    Avoid this game for now and check back if they change and fix it in the next 6-12 months. Play Halo, Warzone or BF4, which is a far superiour game still.    … Expand

    Everything in this game is a mess. A broken hollow shell of a game. Even the menus are atrocious. DICE has officially delivered the worst Battlefield title to date. A huge shame after the glorious Battlefield 1.

    Game is really bad right now. You can empty entire magazines into people from point blank range and not hit a single shot. Same player will turn around and kill you with one shot. The only gun other than a sniper rifle that is reliable is the pp25. There is no scoreboard? From what I read it's to prevent people from getting their feelings hurt?

Not playing battlefield when I dont know my kd ratio or deaths from kills. The sound is horrible. I don't know how many times I've been killed by a tank that magically appears behind me. I say magically becUze they mKe zero noise. I guess they are stealth tanks? The scoreboard thing is what I hate the most. It's such a stupid reason to not give people the ability to see stats.… Expand

    This game is a complete joke. Not only that the technical side is totally gabage, the design decisions in this title are also beyond "ok". If you liked old titles of the battlefield franchise, don't expact anything. Stay with your memorys of the good ol' battlefields. That's my tipp to you. This is only a product that should sell, not be played.

    What were you hoping for, DICE? Calm down already, you are not the people who created the magnificent BF2, BF3, BF4. Give up trying to make a good Battlefield. You can never do it. Just stop

    Very disappointing, nothing like what Battlefield used to be and feels lacking in all the basic elements that really made the game enjoyable. No server browser, no scoreboard, no classes, There is very little at this point that makes this game enjoyable or able to hold one's attention for very long. There is no sense of that deep involvement that would keep you locked behind your screenVery disappointing, nothing like what Battlefield used to be and feels lacking in all the basic elements that really made the game enjoyable.

There is no sense of that deep involvement that would keep you locked behind your screen for hours on end as it was with previous instalments. I doubt in its current state the game will be able to hold its player base for very long. Right now BF2042 is trying to be a jack of all trades and a master of none.… Expand

    Buggy and the gameplay doesn't feel like Battlefield and isn't fun. They changed too many of the features that are Battlefield franchise. Even if they fixed all the bugs I don't see Battlefield 2042 being a fun.

    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.
