    Issues:

    Maps are way too big with no detail, definitely rushed. There are vast tracts of land with zero detail, cover, anything. Just CLEARLY unfinished work.
    Destruction is a major downgrade, EA flat out lied on this one.
    Graphics are a big step back.
    The UI is an embarrassment.
    A college team of interns could have crafted a better UX.
    No VoIP
    No Scoreboard
    No "All" Chat
    The 2042 voice lines are so cringe I mute the game sometimes.
    Performance is mediocre on my high end PC
    The specialist system is disgusting and ruins the flow of the game. No need for teamwork/collaboration anymore. It's just a free for all where no one knows what to do, leading to horribly unbalanced matches.
    No squad switching. So if you're alone in a squad with no one to spawn on to, you're beat.
    Endless glitches and bugs that require restarting the game.
    The gameplay itself is average. Specialists really degrade the experience. Why wouldn't you just play COD at this point? (Which is a stable game on a great engine BTW)

    Portal is pretty fun if you happen to find a good server with settings/weapons/class system from the older games. No surprise, all of that still works really well, and is a breath of fresh air. Literally the only thing remotely redeeming about this game. Really hoping that this part of the game can thrive because there's truly nothing else like it on the market.

    Overall, just really sad to see how far this franchise has plummeted in the past few years. And we thought BFV was bad.

    Don't buy it. Wait.

    Update: Updating the score to a 2/10. The nostalgia wears off quick after a couple days of portal. The voice lines, aesthetic, and UI of this game are honestly unsalvageable. I'll just play cod and I can't believe I'd ever say that.    … Expand

    Poor design choices. A publisher/developer that is just out of touch with what the player wants. Lost some respect for the franchise. Sad to see one of my old favorites get this kind of treatment. Really hope Halo puts out a good shooter this year so we at least have one.

    If we're being honest as the game is below average at the moment. As many people have stated already this game lacks what made it great in the first place. Dice has this knack that every release they would take a step forward but multiple steps backwards. Then get the game to a nice spot yet never carry the improvements over.

    EA/Dice you guys have to start taking actual notes on what people loved from past titles and stop aiming to reinvent the wheel all the time. BF5 movement is far superior for example, the medic distance, the bleed out system, fortifications would of made sense in 2042's wide open maps.

    Your UI needs a revision too, it actually fights against the user. I'm not sure what your Day 1 patch will entail but you guys chose to showcase the game like this, I can't justify purchasing this game right now, I simply can't because so many illogical choices made I'd be awarding negligence.

    A lot of reviews touched on the issues and another thing, the hovercraft needs to be reworked as well. That's all I have to say, this is sad, because I'm not sure if changes will be made and this is the first BF that I opted not to buy(I tested open beta and 10 hr Early Access), smh.    … Expand

    Specialist System could have been fine, but it isn't implemented properly. Cringey voicelines. Comical characters that don't fit into the BF series. The new maps are big and empty and lack destruction. In Breakthrough it doesn't even makes sense to recapture a lost objective because theres no way making it to the objective in time.

Same in Conquest is this a running simulator or BF. Players will just Gather at one or two Points. The atmosphere of previous titles is gone. Ever heard the whistle in BF1 lots of people rushing an objective. Mortar explosions, a flamer guy burning through trenches. That game had soul. Nothing is there in 2042 we got some goofy, wacky characters, oversaturated maps and weak sound design. Scoreboard missing and dumped down XP system lowers motivation.

    Portal mode is better and is a blast from the past. But i doubt it will last very long. Very few maps. Even with the custom servers thats sadly not the way of gaming anymore.

    BF games were never perfect when they released and a lot can be fixed like bugs, balancing, crashes or performance issues. But this game has some fundamental issues that i doubt they will ever be changed.    … Expand

    There is zero innovation or creativity in BF2042 and it shows - blatant copied elements from other games, lack of design focus and a complete backtrack from what a battlefield title should be.

    I've played every Battlefield game to date and enjoyed every one of them except Hardline. This will be the first Battlefield game I refuse to purchase.

    There are always issues with BF titles - netcode, hit reg, server stability, missing features and bumpy launches plagued by bugs. The difference here? Previous titles had solid gameplay, solid design from the ground up & really fun core game experience. It was literally worth waiting for a polished title.

    With BF2042? This game is not salvageable. It will take a year to polish and even then you will be left with a bland, soul-less design mess lacking any credible gun play or gameplay.

    The only saving grace this game could have had was the addition of Portal which I assume is the love letter to Battlefield fans. Unfortunately with it's lackluster launch features and general lack of options, configuration & content it merely gives you a glimpse into how bad "BF2042 all out war" actually is, that it can't even compete with a 10+ year old game. All the while fracturing the community between 3 game modes no one really asked for.

    At the current state of this game I wouldn't pick it up half price over xmas and I wouldn't be surprised if it took the Firestorm route and was dead in a year.    … Expand

    From playing this game since early launch I can tell this that in general gun play is fine at best. Sniper drop off range is ridiculous, I honestly feel like I'm playing Ghost Recon Wildlands. Assault rifles shoot plastic bbs and not actual bullets and considering how overpowered SMG's are it's not even worth picking up an assault rifle.
    Tanks- What can I say, they are way too powerful    From playing this game since early launch I can tell this that in general gun play is fine at best.

Assault rifles shoot plastic bbs and not actual bullets and considering how overpowered SMG's are it's not even worth picking up an assault rifle.
    Tanks- What can I say, they are way too powerful against infantry and considering that rocket launcher does only 20hp of damage to a tank you need 2 people to shoot it with 5 rockets for it to die which is ridiculous.
    Helicopters - Let's start with little bird and how overpowered it still is, 32mm gun is accurate but deals a ton of damage, rocket pods can destroy entire squads if shot accurately. In general they need to be nerfed in some way to make them not as powerful as they are now. Attack Helis are okay but 2nd pilot seat gun is way too OP for what it is, 3-5 well placed shots and players just die no matter what.
    There is a lot of issues I could name from rubber banding to ridiculous hit boxes, from shots not registering or me dying when I'm behind a corner.

    Conclusion - So far the game is honestly not worth buying and EA overhyped this game way too much for what it is, Lack of guns, classes, game modes/maps, vehicles makes this game kind of a biggest disappointment in Battlefield history. I would say stay away from this game for at least another few months until so called game developer named EA fix their issues and hopefully make this game how it was meant to be.    … Expand

    The issues.
    The main issue in my oppinion is that it doesnt FEEL like a Battlfeild of the previous time.
    The maps are to great and to open. U have to run so long find some enemies even in the 128 player mode. When u look at the maps from the previous BF games u will see, that the maps arent as good as the maps in the previous games.
    The weapons arent good. As an example u can look at the Assaultriffles. IRL u can use an AR on mid range fights but the new Battlefield made it impossible. To much recoil and spray for range fights. Shotguns are useless because there are not much closerange fights. The MPs are not useless because u can fight on close range and even midrange. The snipers doesnt feel good and i dont like em to play. The tactical rilfes are even more useless than ur mom in the bed ;).
    The game need way MOOREE weapons.

    Pros
    The graphics of the game are ok
    I enjoy the vehicles very much and they are very well balenced.

    The games on-foot movement mechanics are actually a lot of fun. Movement, including jumping and mantling is fluid and consistent. Parachuting is more realistic than in a game like Warzone, but allows for some additional tactics. When you are parachuting you can either control your descent and move with greater speed and maneuverability, at the expense of being able to fire you weapon. Or you can release your chute controls and descend, but have your weapon up to fire. Zip lines also allow you to be able to shoot in any direction, which helps when moving into fortified areas.

    The graphics, when they aren’t hampered by bugs, are great as well.

    The Bad

    Content (what’s missing):

    This list is literally too long to do justice here, so I recommend checking out the subreddit for the game on this.

    But there are no classes. You’re stuck with specialists that are piecemeal in terms of gameplay and being able to respond to in-game situations. There’s also no lock-on anti-vehicle weapons (SMAW/Joker), which is a problem when dealing with the insanely OP and overly fast hovercraft. You also can’t dive to get away from enemies, making you a sitting duck in water. Weapons attachments are also extremely sparse and poorly implemented. There are no thermal/NVG scopes, and the items that are available essentially have identical duplicates in most cases meaning that a significant number of attachments are cosmetic in a sense. There is also no scoreboard, no VOIP, no squad switching, to setting a squad leader or battlefield commander, no persistent leaderboards, etc.

    Content (what’s there that shouldn’t be):

    Specialists... look, they aren't terrible, and apart from two of them who have excessively powerful anti-vehicle/air capabilities, they are relatively well balanced. But it’s clear that this game originally was meant to be some kind of Apex/Fortnite/Overwatch hell-spawn. And it seems that EA got cold feet about it and then tried to pivot back to an actual Battlefield title last year. And boy does it show. The character design reeks of the uncanny valley, and the end-round quips might be some of the worst cringe-inducing garbage I’ve ever seen in a video game. Against the backdrop of a literal climate apocalypse, you have these “No-Pats” (non-patriated mercenaries) working for either the US or the Russians because they have literally lost everything, quipping like a bunch of idiot Twitch streamers. It’s awful.

    Map design:

    Most maps are poorly implemented. Ground-unit conflict points are too far away from each other. You can spend a third of the match just trying to from waypoint to waypoint in this game. Levolution is sparse, and poorly implemented. There are random tornadoes, which don’t do anything other than suck up players and spit them back out to parachute back into play. I’d rather play BF4’s Siege of Shanghai on permanent repeat than any of these maps.

    The Ugly

    Gameplay:

    It’s a shooter with absolutely garbage hit-registration, further complicated by an insane amount of bloom, that was either included to reduce the skill gap or added as a quick fix to issues in the beta. It’s also incredibly imbalanced. It plays like a failed shooter from a decade ago.

    Bugs:

    There is no way to sugar-coat this. People are having a myriad of issues, including, but not limited to:

    - Loadouts not working requiring leaving games altogether
    - Revives not working
    - The game crashing for no reason
    - Glitchy visuals that don't provide proper feedback about what is happening right in front of you
    - Getting stuck in a downed state and being unable to be revived or to respawn
    - Spawning on your team but with the opposing team’s colors and indicators

    UI:

    Aside from the new “plus” weapon attachment menu, which works well for in-game attachment switching, it’s an unmitigated disaster. There is so much having to move in and out of specific US pages just to accomplish a handful of things, particularly trying to switch your weapon attachments, that it makes you not want to do it at all. You can’t even see who’s in your party in the game menus without having to click on a tab to go to the “social” tab, instead of having persistent squad details section in one of the corners of the screen. Worse still is the Lead UI programmer going onto Twitter and commending their team for a job well done and then hiding behind complaints of harassment when the user-base came back with questions and ideas.

    Final thoughts: I cannot stress enough that you stay away from this game at launch. It’s not worth $60. It needs massive fixes just to make the game playable as a shooter.    … Expand

    There's no proper scoreboard and no stats, which completely takes away the fun and competitive nature of the game.

    There's no global chat, which takes away the social aspect of this game. No more gg's after a good match, no more acknowledging someone after a nice kill or a dogfight, no more issuing weird challenges to the other team, no more discussing a new map or whatever. Now it's like playing against bots, not humans.

    There's no classes. I want to play as a generic soldier on a Battlefield, against other generic soldiers. Not as some cartoon character against other (mostly same looking) characters. This is a truly idiotic change.

    You can't choose squads either. I mean... I don't even... what? Who in their right mind would even implement a "system" like this?

    On top of all this, movement, gunplay, vehicles all feel off and very unlike previous games. Heli's and jets don't feel like you're flying (why didn't they just copy the dynamics from BF4 which was perfect?), gunplay is terrible, movement feels ridiculous... the list goes on and on.

    I don't even care about bugs at launch because I know they can be patched. However, this whole game seems to have been built by people who have no idea what the fanbase wants, and no idea what Battlefield has always been about.

    That's why this will be the first Battlefield I'm not buying. I had such high hopes for the game, but I don't think the game could be salvaged with patches (even if they tried, which they obviously won't).    … Expand

That on top of all the other issues has turned into me playing a total of two hours, not having fun, and not touching it since. BF2 was phenomenal after a rocky start, BF3 was phenomenal after a rocky start, BF4 was phenomenal after a rocky start, BF1 was good but ultimately limited, and BF5 was horrid from the start.

It feels very limiting and it greatly limits social interaction between players.

If you don't fix it, you will lose the gaming community. And no trailers and promises will bring us back. I speak on behalf of 85% of players. Don't buy this game until they fix it !!!… Expand

    The game has the potential to be the best Battlefield till today. However, the real state of the game is horrible, unbalanced guns, the game just have a few weapons (2 per type, wtf), terrible performance on high end pcs, when I say terrible i mean, really TERRIBLE..., it could be the best BATTLEFIELD, but insted of that, they gave us an unfinished game

    I've played BF since BF 1942 and this is a disgusting abortion of a game. Runs badly on a 3080ti, I can barley see who I'm supposed to be shooting at. Feels like I'm either just running or dyeing. Classes are crap and pointless, no team play. This game is made by morons that only play Fortnite or COD.

    Everybody complained about the marketing department of EA before the release ... it was kind of "apparent" that there is plain and simple NOTHING to show off.

    And not to threaten the pre orders they just stayed radio silent to f*ck us all over. I would've expected some decency of one of a dice developers to leak infos to the press in order to protect the customers worldwide.

    I hope the sale numbers are bad and the stockholders will teach EA a lesson because they don't care about the players at all. We're just some smelly money cows which they want to milk.

    Anthem 2.0 incoming. They will abandon it since no players means no cosmetics sales and then they will try to sell us the same game again in one year.

    For me the francise died with this game - even if they bring a new title i will boycott them - after all those years. Shame on you DICE, EA.    … Expand

    Battlefield 2042 started out as a carbon copy of a CoD like battle royale game, and unfortunately it shows. Along the the numerous graphical glitches the games core systems are flawed and full of bugs. The time to kill is way too high, early weapons are weak and ineffective while most vehicle weapons are extremely underwhelming.

    The lack of a story mode is a little disappointing because they could have done a really cool campaign considering the world building they've done and the tiny bit of back story given to us in short cut scenes. Oh and the little animations that play when you first spawn in are really stupid, and have resulted in deaths because I see this cool charging handle pull animation instead of being able to shoot.

    Now how can the game be improved?
    1. Hardcore game modes
    2. Buff vehicle weapons, spraying someone down with a mini gun shouldn't be easily shaken off, and tank rounds exploding should affect players.
    3. Fix. The. Bugs.
    4. Cut out the stupid load in animations.

    Oh boy! What a stinker. The new weapon setup system is the most unintuitive thing I've ever seen, the UI is terrible, the gameplay is so boring, the maps are bad, the controls are somehow terrible, the servers are a mess and there is no campaign or story line...

    There are so many core design flaws with this game that it can never be fixed with patches. The sheer lack of content for a 60$ game is disheartening. 7 maps,nothing, which vast flat lands of nothing, there is almost no environment destruction and only 22? Guns. Oh, and no scoreboard.

    Disgusting game. There is no map balance. The developers did not even try to make changes, transferring the maps from the Hazrd Zones to multiplayer. And most of all it bothers that now there is no normal "tab", it is not clear where you are in the team list, and at the end of the round they show some unnecessary information about what made the most support.

    Great Game with a lot of improvements for the game. I would say some of them come from call of duty. Sadly, as rumors says actual devs. lacks of imagination and had to copy/paste some features from cod.

Any way, the game itself is great but it has some flaws like you have to reach lvl 58 to unlock every weapon/gadget in the game. The portal thing is uncompletlely done and Hazard Zona feels like a non-sense mode. I must say The great experiences comes in breakthough, conquest is too large even for 128 players, I would like to see 128 vs 128 for conquest maps because the maps are really bigs. The game has some things from battlefield 4 but as I didnt manage to play deep that game i couldnt understand what is different from it, but it has that feelling. For 60USD game I must say is a great game but I would expect for is half price because just Breakthrough is the great mod for playing here. As I said portal feels uncomplete, hazard zone meeh, and people create umbalance servers in portal. I just goes for breakthrough and, well, people complain about lack of global chat and voice chat. I mean, you don't have to chat global with people unless they are your friends right? and well, about the voice chat i had to use discord, this made me forced to meet new people to play as team. It was a really good experience when you adapt. Also some minor things like no scoreboard (uncomplete), you cannot create a squad, you cannot change from USA to RU, sometimes there are servers with infinite tickets and cannot start/end, and in some maps devs were to far when setting points in top towers making it impossible to reach it (even because attackers just have 2 air units to deploy and attack). Some flaws that make me think it deserver a 7.5/10 Maybe with feature content and some fixes game would reach a 10/10 Until that feel free of read, watch videos and avoid the game if some of this problems affects you the gameplay in ways that cannot let you enjoy it.… Expand

    I was excited about this game. I really was. The beta was alright with a couple of weapons. Only now do I realize that those are the only weapons aside from the "Battlefield Portal" weapons, in which there are about 10. In an FPS game, it has 20 weapons when it used to have that many in each class. It's hard to compare it to old battlefields because it's not even close to the same. JustI was excited about this game.

    Esse jogo, por mais divertido que seja, ainda, pelo menos no PS4, não se encontra em bom estado. Já que durante as partidas percebe-se um pequeno delay, que, por sua vez, acaba deixando o jogo enjoativo (literalmente), em minha opinião.

    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.
