    Dice’s extra year in development did wonders to this game. The maps are very large and wide open but there are way more ways to traverse the gaps in objectives. The selection of guns through leveling is quite a good number for a new release as it is a grind to get a new gun.

The destruction seems to be more focused on weather rather than traditional destruction seen in previous battlefield games. The only issue with this game I have with this game is the server side issues but overall it is a very solid entry in the franchise despite what nay-sayers say, and in my opinion much better combat and movements than in any other previous battlefield.… Expand

    Why are you people getting your panties in a twist over not having classes in this game. Like bruh you can actually change attachments in-game. The destruction is awesome, If you are one of people rating this game bad just because of graphics you are probably playing on a PC made out of spare parts. Plus the game just released calm down.

Поставил 10, что бы хоть как то изменить этот беспредел, не Dice, не конкретно эта часть не заслуживает такой оценки! Объективно считаю оценку в 7 баллов оптимальной, если поправят все известные проблемы, и поработают над игрой, то можно и 8 поставить. Но 0 или итоговая 2,5 явно не заслуженно!… Expand

    Battlefield 2042 is a pretty good game. Yes, many people are not liking it due to bugs & performance issues, which I completely agree with, The game needs polishing and updates to make it better. Personally, I have played the game for quite a bit now & gave me an enjoyable time.

For me it runs fairly well at 5120X1440 on a 3090 and a 5950x at 132fps others mileage will vary.

    I would also like to mention how rough Battlefield 3 and 4's launches were this has been pretty smooth with little crashes. Hazard zone is not bad but slower and portal is a good way to relive the glory days or make something new with the rules editor.    … Expand

    Right, so a lot of people are talking about frame rate issues, stuttering, rubber banding. Firstly, I cannot say i'm experiencing the first two but rubber-banding is an issue that has been drastically reduced since the start of the pre-release.

    I'll start with the things that i dislike and the reason why they didn't receive 10/10. The hit reg of guns is currently in an appalling state    Right, so a lot of people are talking about frame rate issues, stuttering, rubber banding. Firstly, I cannot say i'm experiencing the first two but rubber-banding is an issue that has been drastically reduced since the start of the pre-release.

    I'll start with the things that i dislike and the reason why they didn't receive 10/10. The hit reg of guns is currently in an appalling state for ARs and Marksman rifles. It is that bad that guns such as SMGs are winning gunfights from short to long-range against guns such as ARs. This however has been noticed by devs as they are working on a fix to a 'bloom' related issue.

    There are other bugs such as hovercrafts acting badly. But to me this is not a bug that i dislike as it makes the game more fun. Like how is a flying hovercraft causing anyone any problems? Battlefield to me is a sandbox war game so things like this make it more enjoyable. Like trying to get a hovercraft up the stairs to hold from inside a building.

    The rest of the gameplay feels fun and enjoyable. The maps are huge but the player can spawn in vehicles to get around easier. I personally found it more enjoyable to stay near one set of objectives and attack/defend these as this makes the game more exciting.

    Some people are finding the bugs unbearable.. but they don't really phase me at all. This could be due to the fact that I play Star Citizen, so I think i've managed to build up a patience for them...    … Expand

    A great game marred by some fixable technical problems. The bones are rock solid and deliver a satisfying Battlefield sandbox.

    There is a histrionic hate bandwagon aimed at this game and it's not a fair representation of what it's like to play it. 13 maps in total including portal and a logic editor for creating custom game modes.

There are only 22 guns in the main game for now but when you include the ones from portal that doubles. Ultimately a great BF experience that will improve to become a solid entry in the series' history.
    A common complaint is what people are calling “bloom” but should simply be called bullet spread. This is minimized but not eliminated by standing still. You cannot move and shoot in this game with accuracy, but people who are more used to BF 5 or Call of Duty tend to overlook this.

    What is ultimately going to happen is lots of people will hop on the hate bandwagon and pass on this game, only to pick it up on sale later and realize they have been missing out. If you’re still skeptical you can sign up for EA Play Pro and try it through that service. You will also gain access to the other BF games that way.

    I strongly recommend the game, especially if you prefer the gunplay from BF 1-4 over that of BF 5 or Call of Duty.

    Keep in mind that review bombs organized by people who have never played the game are a very real thing in the age of user reviews.    … Expand

    After 5 days of playing the early access and over 45 hours of play time, all I can say is that the game is nothing short of amazing, everything about what makes the battlefield franchise so good got better:

    - having to pick a specific class and being locked to a set of weapon is no longer the case, instead the specialist system give more freedom to mix and match whatever you feel like playing.

    - The graphics are truly a showcase of what next gen is all about, the attention to details is outstanding, after finding the right settings and having a descent computer, the game is perfectly smooth. The world feels alive, the ray traced ambiant occlusion adds depth to the world, draw distance is just breathtaking considering the staggering amount of geometry.

    - the dynamic weather system drastically shift the tone of the game, you'd be fighting in bright daylight and a few minute later under a heavy storm or the rain. It set the scene for epic fights.

    - the game is more squad focused, instead of having a scoreboard, the highlight is now your overall squad position, you can see your squad it at any time and at the end of the game you see how well your squad did compared to others

    - there progression system is very well balanced, every weapon have its own mastery, you unlock new barrels, sight, ammo and grip with each new level. Vehicules also have the the same types of unlock, meaning each tanks or helicopter is different depending on what the player choses to equip.

    - the gun play managed to hit the perfect balance between too arcade without any recoil, such as abusing spraying, and too strict such as what some tactical shooters have with recoil patterns and player velocity influencing the accuracy. Each guns feels very unique and the sound effects really give them a heavy metallic/heavy impact feel.

    - 128 players all out conquest is stunning, starting a game and looking around gives you the impression of being part of something big about to happen, and to be honest, every game end up delivering on this promise: planes flying across the battlefield, rocket passing by, cars jumping from hills, buildings being destroyed, wing suit rushing through the sky and so on, literally everywhere you look, some trailer worthy action is happening

    - crossplay is finally here! the bf community is now unified. This was a long awaited feature, the days of browsing custom servers to find a proper game with enough players are gone, now the matchmaking is instead, in literally 10s of search, you are matched in a full game with 128 players.

    - DICE even threw in a freebie for those feeling nostalgic, you can now play older maps with older load out if you wanna take a break from regular conquest!

    This is just the tip of the iceberg and I could go on and on saying what amazes me about this new entry in the franchise, Dice really did an amazing job and managed to deliver a product up to my expectations while keeping the bf tradition alive. This is indeed a love letter to BF fans and you can tell by the amount of work that went into creating this masterpiece.
    Anyone who don't see it is probably too busy actively hating by looking for flaws, listening to rant opinion on YouTube or simply following a meta opinion given to them instead of spending time on the battlefield. If you want to spend countless hours having fun, do yourself a favor and buy this game!    … Expand

    In it's current state the game definitely has bugs, missing features and poor performance. Despite all this I find the game to be very fun at it's core but different to the traditional Battlefield formula many will be used to (specialist system in particular). I imagine the game will improve and evolve as time goes on but right now it will be a hard sell.

    The best Battlefield of the series.
    People who don't like it, look for the scoreboard. and why she wants to feel satisfied in the game, because she probably isn't in real life.
    People who are used to playing COD, where the single score makes the difference.

    the game has potential but seeing that the pre-release was stalled by a week, and now their day 1 patch is stalled by.... A MONTH?? while its ""fully released""
    i cant get a refund. 120 euros on this one. im a fan of glitchy games, but this is just not even funny because its too broken to even laugh at
    its like experiencing a persistent lag spike
    only thing i can do for now is to grind xp and levels by putting ammo box on a drone and flying around to resupply my teammates
    the drone doesnt even fly straight, it damn zig zags, sometimes entirely refuses to fly in the direction im telling it to go
    the spotting seems to work like hitreg, sometimes you cant spot any enemies for minutes, sometimes you can, but get no xp

    politics ruined battlefield, and now theres no scoreboard because immature people had their way, and their insecurities just couldnt handle seeing their teams scoreboard, what is this orwellian nightmare? its Battlefield 2042.
    sometimes you get loaded into a server with zero spawnpoints, i consider this the peace mode. theres zero spawnpoints for the whole server
    this zombie server stays up for people to join into over and over, really fun chat in that one
    oh and the chat? 18+ game where your job is to stab people to death and blow them up
    yea you cant use swear words, thats a bit too wild. your characters can though. they could just have done it like in league of legends (easily the most sensitive fangroup of any videogame) where you can toggle profanity filter on/off- but no. the developers team knows better than the individual players

    i wish i could compare this game to something, but i really cant, its just all in all a combination of the worst features from all games ive been at - so far

    theres also no useful anti tank weaponry until youre lvl 60 and level up the .50 cal rifle well enough to get armor piercing, and mines at first available at lvl 38, so until then your team just contiously gets mauled by hovercrafts (and you cant revive them when they get run over)

    there is some potential with the game but every time i dreadfully click the BF2042 exe, i can just feel my mood shriveling away, traumatized by the caustic burns of the lacking features, and lacking gameplay, and .. lacking game
    even lacking chat

    i wish i could refund, just the chat being limited to team only and **** i was gonna say kindergarten language but even back in kindergarten profanity was allowed- i dont know what to call this, politically correct language or just straight up tyrannical freedom of speech infringement- just the chat would be enough for me to refund it

    this game feels like a stupid experiment, a moneygrab
    makes me want to go back to the hopeless cheater jungle of call of duty, or just quit gaming all together
    extremely depressing.
    playing this game and realizing that they still didnt fix anything since the beta, 6 months ago was it? just feels like youre in a hopeless abusive relationship with a prostitute- thats right you paid for it, if youre masochist mate you better take off your pants because this will blow up your crotch with suffering.

    they did lately add a feature where your character will sneeze if you were afk for about a minute in game, though. so theyre doing something. theres no doubt that you will require an up-to-date corona passport to play this game, maybe the hitreg and all those other problems is really based on social credit score? the whole combination feels omnious.

    i might also add they have this little mode called hazard
    you spend 5 minutes to get into the game
    sometimes you die in 10 seconds
    takes about 5 minutes to quit the game also

    this game is an abomination of online dictatorship, hardware bottlenecking and hell-breaking glitches

    you may dodge the lag issues if you throw 5000 dollars into your computer, but i personally dont think BF2042 is worth that much

    i dont think a formal apology for this game would be enough, DICE might have to start up their own trauma treatment facility or something for this oops

    only way they can screw this one up more is if they made it so hovercrafts cant climb skyscrabers
    because thats the only viable way to get to the last damn base on breakthrough, you go 3 men up elevator to be shot right in the eyes by i kid you not, 10 rpgs and 3 battletanks, on the rooftop. no stairs. dice? did you try this game out? ever? aprils fools?    … Expand

    please dont make mistake of buying this crap. DICE hit the bottom with this one, this game has nothing to do with BF legacy. Been playing each game in franchise since Bad Company, however looks like it will be the first one to skip.

    TBH I don't understand the negativity. I played the game now for a bit over 10 hours, never had any crashes and game runs smooth. Also with Portal and the main modes there is more than enough to play. There are some minor things to patch like Assault Rifles or the Hovercrafts, but no reason to rate this game below 8.

    I personally really like it :)

    Battlefield 2042 is already a hit, truely addictive and with a great depth in content and strategies thanks to specialists among others.
    And yeah, I assume, specialists is one of the best design idea of this Battlefield: it doesn't replace classic classes but completes it by bringing a really interesting customization level (you can create and customize your classes in the game to play as you like).

    It's already good and it will be really great in the next few months after some patches.

Once i upgraded my cpu from i5 2500k to ryzen 5 5600g i went from 20-30 fps unplayable mess to 80+ fps, but im at 1366x768 but i have seen people get 60fps with my setup at 1080p.

    Also the game is great, balance is so much better than Battlefield 4, no JDAM Cancer (yes    get a better cpu & 16gb ddr4 to run this game... i get 80-100fps on gtx 1060 and ryzen 5 5600g, 16gb ddr4 ram on low.

    Also the game is great, balance is so much better than Battlefield 4, no JDAM Cancer (yes i used jdams in bf4, but **** that **** for overall gameplay) and patches are coming out to get better performance and improve game, alot of problems have allready been fixed. Also the graphics are nice, even on low it is the best graphics i have seen from any game. 128 players franctly is amazing, the amount of fire and action really makes you feel on the battlefield, some objectives need optimizing, but really its a step in the right direction. The class optimization is great, allowing you to change attachments in game.

    (the graphics looked terrible on my old system, for some reason when you have a higher end system the hardware allows the graphics to shine, dont ask me why, but im guessing its something to do with texture processing)

    -The balance in this game is great, with so many lock on weapons, mostly everything has the right amount of damage applied.

    -Helicopters arent near invincible like in previous titles, can be locked on using ground based weapons alot easier, . Such a good idea considering in bf4 the helicopters could survive a very long time and be quite hard to hit as a ground player.

    -Gunplay is fun.

    -No game breaking microtransactions to speak of as of writing this review. Or i may have missed it but i didnt notice it while customizing my loadouts, thier was like 5 skins available for each loadout with normal versions and like 10 with ultimate, so you have to buy ultimate to get better rewards and the likes, but compeletely optional.

    -Portal, what a great idea, and fun to play. I hope they bring more classic maps from all those games, exspecially 1942 for me.

    Cons:
    - Weapon aim at range can be somewhat hard to hit other players, but small iissue really
    - Didnt get rid of Jdams entirely, instead it takes alot longet to kill which is great, but just annoying for ground vehicles, why cant thier just be a anti armor secondary that is free aim then it solves the problem, but much better now than in battlefield 4.
    - The bugs at launch, but alot has been ironed out, for example turret glitchiing and elevators etc, all minor issues, and quite amusing at first, but they are better removed.

    Time will tell, all the initial bad reviews were down to the bugs, and performance, shame it wasnt released later because now all these people going to have a sour taste in their mouth. Anyway the player base is still healthy.

    Anyway thats just a basic summary, but id recommend it to any old players and new alike of the battlefield series and fps in general.    … Expand

Як на мене оперативники додали ще більше можливостей до цієї пісочниці. Наприклад там є оперативник який може короткочасно визначати противників через навіть через стіни. Я вирішив додати собі в комплект димову гранату, закидати її в приміщення з противниками і відразу отримувати кілька фрагів. Якщо більше пограти то думаю можна ще знайти багато комбінацій і можливостей для вбивств.
    Зброї тут здається менше ніж в попередніх частинах, це для декого буде мінусом. Але мій респект за систему модифікації прямо на полі бою, це прямо дуже крута штука і я надіюсь що вона на довго залишиться в серії.
    Режими мені фактично всі зайшли крім hazard zone. Режим портал б'є по ностальгіїі (і це круто). Побігати на картах з третьої частини було приємно. Хоч я й люблю сінгл але тут його відсутність це напевно скоріше плюс, відразу потрапляєш в зарубу без прелюдій.
    Баги все ще є але по суті це той сaмий battlefield в якому весело ганяти по полю і дивитись та самому брати участь у всьому тому незаскриптованому екшні який створюють самі гравці. Можна брати на знижках.

I've seen a lot of negative reviews about Battlefield 2042 and decided to wait until a few months after its release to buy it and play it.

    What even is this game?

    They tried to make a Battlefield-inspired Apex/Fortnite type game, but it doesn't do that type of gameplay as well as either of those, while simultaneously breaking the mold that is Battlefield. PC performance is completely inconsistent and doesn't utilize my hardware well at all. CPU sits at 40-50% while GPU is around 70% at 1440p, but I can't get more FPS    What even is this game?

    They tried to make a Battlefield-inspired Apex/Fortnite type game, but it doesn't do that type of gameplay as well as either of those, while simultaneously breaking the mold that is Battlefield.

    PC performance is completely inconsistent and doesn't utilize my hardware well at all. CPU sits at 40-50% while GPU is around 70% at 1440p, but I can't get more FPS even if I turn settings down.

    I have been waiting until a couple patches came out before writing this because I wanted to see how they did with fixes and updates. They've fixed some of the collision issues, but every patch introduced more issues and game breaking problems (like mouse doesn't work to look left or right...at all...without completely deleting your movement settings in your profile file).

    The latest patch also added a santa-clause and woody (toy story) skin...and santa's sleigh skins for vehicles. If you needed to know what this game is about...it's monetizing skins. The lead designers is a guy from Candy Crush that left the studio the day the game launched. All the people who loved this game series left a long time ago. It's dead.

    Game launched with:
    *Hit-reg is broken and they don't know how to fix it.
    *Server lag is a constant issue they don't know how to fix.
    Graphics fell off a cliff since BF:V and BF1.
    *No scoreboard and they've made it clear they don't even care to add it back.
    *Huge bullet-spread (think star wars blasters, or random number generator for where your bullets go)...they've improved this a little, but with the broken hit-reg it barely matters.
    *No server browser, it does matchmaking only, so you play the same maps again and again, no persistent lobbies even, so you keep ending up with new people.
    *You can't play with more than 3 friends on the same server.
    *No Voice chat in game. This might(?) get fixed.
    *No all-chat. They've given no indication they'll fix this.
    *You couldn't revive people if they were touching a wall...any wall...might be better since patches?*Specialists..omg this is a joke. They're terrible, their quips at the end of the match are just horribly cringe and annoying. You hear the same "one-liners" again...and again...and again...and again...
    *And between the items above, the team-play is gone.

    *maps are awfully designed. Breakthrough is actually impossible on some maps due to cap points on top of buildings where defenders can spawn vehicles on top and just camp elevators. There's practically no destruction. Some small copy-paste buildings that are usually plain-white buildings with absolutely nothing in them can be destroyed, and some walls of square outpost buildings can be *poofed* away, but there's none of the micro-destruction from previous games, and there's no levolution or gameplay-changing destruction events. There's almost no cover in areas between capture-points. The maps are mostly flat, open, killing fields with nothing in them. They didn't spend any time in the design phase thinking about how the map will flow and how people will move from point to point so they just left them barren.

    *every map starts with all the vehicles having to go through a tiny choke-point at the spawn, so the tanks, hovercrafts, whatever just all funnel into each other and flip over, half explode, it's just stupid. Hovercrafts launched way too overpowered and can drive straight up the side of a building, so they were everywhere. They patched them to blow up if more than one person looks at them at the same time, but didn't fix the physics at all.

    *there are only 22 guns. I hope you like them all a lot (you won't). With the bullet-spread at launch, only one gun in the game actually worked and it was an SMG. First patch, they improved the bullet-spread on other guns, but added recoil to that SMG to nerf that too.

    *Every match starts with about 6 cutscenes, then ends with cut-scenes, there's no scoreboard, progression is a mystery, you can't change your loadout between matches, and if you want to try and snag a vehicle early, you can't change your loadout until you die, even though there's over 30 seconds until the match actually starts after you pick your vehicle.

    So at this point, I'm sure you get the point that it isn't a good Battlefield game, isn't a good Apex-competitor (even though it tries to be), and with all the issues and lack of content, it just really isn't a good game. I have put several hours into this and have tried to like it and have fun with it, but it's just fundamentally bad. And it isn't just the bugs that made it bad, it was the design decisions that they stand behind vehemently. EA and DICE are completely tone-deaf to the community. They don't care. We all expected launch bugs (it is BF after all), but this is a whole other level of no QA being done at all before launch and what they've decided to make is just a bad game.    … Expand

    Battlefield 2042 is a disappointing entry in the franchise, as it falls short in several aspects.

    Yes, there is poor optimization, yes, there are not many little things inherent in the games of the series, and there is still very little content with a backlog for future battle passes, but the gameplay is still a great pleasure

    Its garbage or i am to old for this kind of arcadish nonsense. Sprinting around all the time like madmen and seamingly (or what logically would be) suicide parachute drops into enemies gives better results than doing something reasonable on battlefield. Also sprinting around in between enemies gives better results than tactical behaviors. It ruins the battlefield fantasy and kills the joy.Its garbage or i am to old for this kind of arcadish nonsense.

If i would want running and gunning i would buy something like old CoDs. In battlefield i want battlefield behaviors to be rewarding, not the other way around. Wasted money even on promotion. Had perhaps 2 hours of fun at beginning when i didnt knew what this game rewards and what it punishes.
    Also there is no cooperation rewarded, hence you feel like playing some sort of free for all shooter, but can only hit reds. I coudlnt even get freaking ammuniation from anyone on the team. Everyone is just grinding their grind goal, cause the game otherwise is unpleasant as hell.    … Expand

But the core mechanics, graphics and sound are top notch. I really like that this game runs on mid-rane PCs and still looks amazing. I'm fortunate and can play in 4K on ultra. Oh man, what a treat. It looks so much better, than previous BF titles. Another great thing is Portal mode, where you can set virtual servers (kinda like those paid ones before, but for free). You can choose maps (also many classical ones - fully redone), different modes and basically all variables. It's really great to play true hardcore mode once again. And EAC anti-cheat is working!… Expand

    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.
