    Hahaha I’ve never laughed so hard in my life! Bought this game, returned it, bought it again months later to see if anything was fixed. Now I’m just rolling on the floor laughing, while returning it again! WTF were you guys at Dice AND EA thinking? You had an easy payday but you read the room wrong and f-d it all up. Get to know your fan base!!!

    As a long time Battlefield fan, all i can say is that I am incredibly disappointed in the product that DICE thought was suitable for release.

The game runs like garbage on my powerful pc (i9-9900k, RTX 2080ti, 32GB DDR4-3200Mhz) but besides it running like trash, the game just seems like an early alpha build of a Battlefield/Call of Duty Warzone clone that takes all the bad aspects from both franchises and melds them into the abomination that we call Battlefield 2042.

    The maps are complete trash, they are huge so 90% of your time in the match is spent just running in giant open fields, not getting into any fights. But don't worry, you might get into a fight or two before you die and have to run for another 20 minutes to find another one - or you'll just get picked off by a sniper.

    Everything in this game is a severe downgrade from previous Battlefield titles. All first-person animations are downgraded in quality, with a severe lack of detail from the team at DICE (e.g., when unloading an empty magazine on the AK74u the magazine still has ammo in it) Throwing back grenades in Battlefield 2042 doesn't have ANY animation, the grenade just flies away because the specialists have telekinesis.

    All of these issues listed above, without even going into how awful the actual gameplay itself is. Hitting enemies is a roll of the dice more than anything - the server desync is so bad that there'll be times where you unload a whole magazine into someone point blank and don't even get a single hit marker. This desync is likely directly caused by DICE's ridiculous fixation on having to have 128 players in the lobby. Having 128 players in the game is incredibly taxing on cpus, and it leads to unstable client performance for users - the 128 players also impacts server stability, leading to increased amounts of desync experienced by the players. DICE had to also decrease the server tick rate to 45hz from 60hz in previous titles which leads to even worse hit detection.

    PLEASE do not buy this game.    … Expand

It is unbelievable! 4 months later and you still can't ADS after leaving a vehicle, the planes do barrel rolls from a distance, you "rubberband" due to lag, the hit registration is bad, the maps are bad, the vehicle spam is unbearable, and it doesn't feel like Battlefield at all. How can someone not rate this game a zero? It was a scam. They stole people's money. We paid over $100 for a season 1 that no one knows what is in it, and they have postponed this season 1 forever. It is a total embarrassment for any serious company.
    I mean, the game itself is not tok bad in terms of gameplay. But everything else is horrible. Maybe it could get 1 star, but due to their lies and deceptive marketing tactics, and the way they immediately put the game on sale for 50% off and now permanently 30% off, not to mention you can find it used for $5, THIS GAME DESERVES A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT instead of anything.

    The type of predatory marketing practices they engaged in, the lies about what it was supposed to be, and what it was and they knew it, and hid it, should be banned from the face of earth. Those practices should not be allowed anywhere and of they did not return people's money, their CEOs should be jailed. This is some WALL STREET FRAUD LEVEl right here, everyone!

Never the less I feel a need to somewhat rant about this, only because I have never been so let down about a game. I was an enthusiastic to hear about the release of 2042, pre-ordered the game like many other, and also sadly let down like many others. I was disappointed to see the class system did not return with the new installment of battlefield along with radical changes to the franchise itself. Looking past my own personal feelings about changes they made, I would not have been as mad if there was a good core gameplay. I never had any trouble running the game even running on an older system (not the performance I would expect but not terrible like some others). The game released in a terrible condition with new bugs and glitches popping up in every game you play (if you could actually get in a game during launch week). To me this wasn’t a battlefield it was something totally different that they slapped the battlefield name on just to sell more copies of the game. One good thing about this game it made me realize what I did love about the battlefield games. It wasn’t just the chaos of 32v32 or now in this case 64v64. Looking back it was just the sense of feeling like I was a soldier with my friends being my brothers in arms in my squad and old DICE just knew how to give a sense of atmosphere like this. Now with this battlefield I just don’t feel that, even with dice coming with new content in the summer I don’t feel like anything will change that for me, the game lacks a soul. I hope, I really hope I’m wrong and DICE can pull a miracle and somehow make this a better game but again I don’t see that happening. I played the **** outta battlefield 3, 4, and 1 all amazing games and even nowadays since the failure of 2042 battlefield 5 has felt like an amazing game even with its faults during its lifespan, but after only 2 months and 40+ hours I can no longer stomach playing over other amazing game releases. Okay, I’m done there is hundreds of other points could make but it would just be repeating what’s already been said by the community. I have never and will never recommend this game besides to people I hate. Do not buy battlefield 2042 instead go buy a cheaper, better, and older battlefield. Any other battlefield is better battlefield and actually beloved by a great community of people. Ps. Not an English major if you could tell and actually read this… Expand

    BF 2044 was a disappointment for me, I've been a huge fan of the series since the first Battlefield, but BF 2044 was and is barely playable. As a fan, I feel screwed by Dice and EA. BF2044 is not a real Battlefield game for me, it's more like another attempt by a big corporation to copy today's game successes such as Rainbow Six or Warzone and in doing so, it's a real disappointment.

I could go to the local pet shop and ask one of the rabbits to make a Battlefield game and it'll somehow be made better than whatever the **** this is. Dice have completely ruined our franchise

    - Gun selections are limited considering its locked to the era of the hero you want to play. So there is an illusion of multiple choices but in practice it's very limited.

Wäre dies nicht schlimm genug, hat man auch noch sämtliche Statistiken aus dem Spiel entfernt und bei selbst den großen Spielmodis dafür gesorgt, dass man maximal mit 4 Spielern gleichzeitig spielen kann (nachjoinen oder ähnliches ist leider so gut wie unmöglich).

    Battlefield war schon immer als "Betafield" bekannt. Bei einem so umfangreichen Titel muss an aber auch davon ausgehen, dass früher oder später immer Bugs gefunden werden. Allerdings das Lobby-Limit auf 4 zu begrenzen als auch die zahlreichen fehlenden Features, Statistiken als dass es teils einfach nicht oder unspielbar war hat mich um ehrlich zu sein schockiert. Daher finde ich persönlich, dass es kein Wunder ist, dass die Spieler auf die funktionierenden älteren Titel zurückgewichen sind.

    Alles in allem fühlt es sich für mich so an, als wäre das Spiel ein paar Jahre zu früh auf den Markt gelassen zu worden oder als würde man dringend Geld brauchen - egal was es kostet. Denn für mich ist nun die Battlefield-Reihe erstmal "gestorben" wodurch ich mir keinen der Nachfolger mehr leisten werde.

    the game had numerous bugs and defects that need fixing. I still believed someday it would change for the better, loved the gameplay of vehicles and in general, for like 4 months I really enjoyed the game even when there was only 1000 or less players online. don't get me wrong I didn't think from the beginning it was worth 60 bucks but I was willing to play it anyway(because I couldn't refund). now here comes the part that I really hate, when this "season one" came I was exited because I knew it would bring lots of players back but the changes to the game were absolutely trash. and here are some for example; the bolte, a vehicle that can be unlocked at some point in the game was one of my personal favorite light vehicle. Dice changed its category for the same as the tank heavy vehicles. now, why tf would I use the bolte if i can just use the tank, its way better obviously, it has more health, more destructive power and more gadgets, and as I expected after the update I didn't see one bolte in the battlefield.
    The second reason, Dice reduced the amount of vehicles in each match and that makes the game pointless and really boring. its supposed to be an all out war action game, with tons of destruction, tanks shooting and jest flying by and bombing the area. now its call of duty game in a big boring map with some lame ass cars with little guns and each team of 64! can choose only one aircraft 2 tanks maybe an helicopter (same category that makes it less useable, and each map the amount of vehicles is a little different but still a really small amount).
    and as a result for like 4 games straight I didn't get to be neither in a tank or a helicopter, sometimes there are carriers that the pilot doesn't even shoot from only the passengers can, and some lame LVs .
    The third reason, why the hell did you guys bring down the most fun mode in this game.. the 64v64 breakthrough mode it was what the game was supposed to be. that was the reason I paid for this game!!! now its some boring 32v32 in a small map with one jeep for each team and maybe one tank. and the season map is boring as hell earthier. this game started ok but was trash because of bugs, it started to get better until you **** it up again and now with more bugs and unstable changes to the gameplay. Dice please, you have the resources already, make this game good, just listen to the ones that are actually playing it. add triple the vehicles in each match do more destructive buildings(idc if it means less players)
    From now on I will wait a few weeks to buy a big game incase I don't buy some scum of a game that I can not return.    … Expand

    definitely one of the games of all time, it had storyline, the voice actors acted, the plot was executed, i rate this 100morbillion/10000morbillion
    spoiler alert but one of my favorite parts of the game is when mr battlefield says "it's battlefielding time" and battlefields all over the enemies.

    The gameplay is good i guess but its still not great, the only thing i like about it is that it uses modern gun but it doesnt have any better game play versus all the other battlefields or even just call of duty.

    This is a great example on an dead game. Nobody plays this on PC anymore. Why? Because DICE took a successful franchise and destroyed it with a mediocre unplayable game. Characters run much too fast. It's like they increased speed 4x which makes players ridiculously fast.

    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.
