    The first, first person shooter I've played where the actual shooting is nearly impossible. Sniper bullet drop feels like you're throwing a baseball. Bullets don't go where you shoot.

    This might be the worst first person shooter I've ever played. That's how bad it is. The network issues are atrocious. Don't waste $60, don't waste $10 for the EA pass, don't waste $1 for your EA pass trial. The game is bad and not worth giving EA a single cent.
    It's a stain on the franchise. Battlefield has devolved starting with BF 5. Go back to BF4, you'll be shocked how great the graphics still are and how good of a game it is.
    So so so bad...

    This might have "battlefield" in the title, but don't get tricked. This game is a sheer mess, and it continues to show that DICE simply don't understand what People want battlefield to be.

    For one example of this, there's the balance of the "rock, paper, scissor" part of the games balancing. In bf 1 we saw a overcommitment to this idea, meaning most shootouts were decided before anyone
    This might have "battlefield" in the title, but don't get tricked. This game is a sheer mess, and it continues to show that DICE simply don't understand what People want battlefield to be.

    For one example of this, there's the balance of the "rock, paper, scissor" part of the games balancing. In bf 1 we saw a overcommitment to this idea, meaning most shootouts were decided before anyone fired a shot, simply based of the classes/weapons chosen and the given engagement range. Here in 2042, DICE have apparently decided that this type of balancing should instead just be entirely removed, as this is more or less the result since now any "class" can have any weapon (or more accurately, classes simply aren't a thing anymore) and more so, any weapon can now be modified on the fly to fit any range just when you need it. Sure this means no more "predestined" firefights, but it also completely removes the possibility for many thrilling situations. No longer will you be caught in the midst of the battle as a sniper, and feel the huge disadvantage that entails, making you sneakily try to get away while making every kill 10 more satisfying knowing they had the upper hand. No more will you be pined down by a sniper, while you carry a shotgun, and have to sneak from cover to cover while closing the distance before finally taking out the sniper. And I could go on. While being at an disadvantage can feel dispowering if the disadvantage is too great (how many felt in bf1) it can also be hugely impowering if done right. This balance might not be easy to hit, but bf4 did a very good job. Sure the assault rifles were overall hands down the best weapons, being too tier at both close to medium range. This however was pretty balanced out by the fact that medics had no single tool against vehicles, and would still lose in long range to importingly both snipers and DMRs. This meant that fx an engineer could deside whether he wanted to be able to challenge a medic at medium to long range (if he chose a DMR), or at close range (PDW, carbine or shotgun). Meaning that an engineer had to decide a what range he can effectively fight. Now while it was true that the medic had the advantage of being as effective as PDWs at close range, and until some point as effective at medium ranges as an DMR. The medic had to really worry about vehicles. So all in all they both had a comparably amount of situations where they were at the disadvantage. The important part here is recognizing where this balance lies. It's important that any build has the advantage in certain situations, and the disadvantage in others. However as the engineer class in bf4, you had the freedom to change which situations where which, without being able to make an all-rounder which could do it all. In 2042 you can not only have a DMR or assault rifle which can be fitted on the go to be perfectly capable at any given range (the second DMR even outclasses the sniper rifles at the longest ranges (-_-)) you can even combo this with an rocket launcher for vehicles no matter what weapon you pick. This is just an example of how DICE have completely screwed up the very fundamental ideas of how the games have been balanced out beautifully in past games, and this is of course in addition to all the more obvious "hands on" screw ups they have made this time. Conclusion? DICE don't know why Battlefield used to be great, probably making it very unlikely that they will turn this ship around. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Even if it were to work properly the way they designed this game is absolutely embarrassing. Every map is terrible. They are all insanely open with nothing on them. Want to run to another area to fight people? Run 10 minutes. The guns don’t do anything at a range either so what’s the point of the maps being so open? And chances are, your not going to make it to that next area, because vehicles are more op then they’ve ever been in battlefield. Right as you spawn, chances are there’s a helicopter above you and 2 hovercrafts and a tank around you. You’ll spawn in the open and just die. You have no chance as a foot soldier. Even if you do carry a rocket it takes 5 to take anything down, more than you have. And you’ll just die in one shot by any vehicle so your going to die several times trying to take one down. And if you do, congrats, there’s still 3 more around you that you have no chance against. The games also lacking so much content compared to every other battlefield ever. Not very many guns and you unlock all of them by just simply leveling up instead of leveling up the class or anything interesting. There’s also specialists that should never be in games but are especially badly made in this. There’s so much more to say is bad including the graphics if you care about that. Basically the game is incredibly bad. And they won’t let me get a refund! It’s a joke. Expand

C'est inadmissible !
    Perso moi j'attendais le jeu avec tellement d'impatience que je suis obligé de dire aux gens, non ! ne précommandez pas ! Annulez votre précommande.
    Y'a 10 ans que bf3 est sorti (je parles pas de la beta de l'early access simplement que ce jeu à 10 ans) et aujourd'hui on est capable de sortir une daube pareil ?
    Rien ne va in game et même au niveau de l'interface c'est claqué au sol ! Comment je sais combien y a de médecin autour de moi quand je suis mort ?
    Comment je sais que mon arme est en auto ou semi ou rafale ? Quand la game est fini, ou je vois mon score ? Pourquoi je peu pas faire mes classes au menu ? Y a que 2 modes de jeu sérieusement !? Et je parles pas de tous les buds in games (balles fantômes, morts accidentelles bugs de texture erff y'en à tellement à dire) et j'en passe ça c'est sans compter la rage que j'ai d'avoir une config à 3000€ et de faire tourner le jeu au meilleur moment à 80FPS. Alors oui je suis un try hardeur oui j'ai besoin de mon confort de jeu ! Mais y a des limites à toutes les conneries ! Et honnêment je sais qu'ils y en a qui vont me dire le 128 joueurs nanani nanana... mais franchement , qui s'en fou ? On était bien sur nos maps à 64 Joueurs, si c'est le prix à payer pour jouer à 128 joueurs non merci ! Enfin bon call of. Au moins c'est des spaghetti réchauffé mais ça fonctionne ! Sur ce jeu on verra dans 6 mois quand le jeu ressemblera à quelque chose je vais vanguard !

Kills don't register, the vehicles are unbalanced, there are a million glitches, I can't even check the scoreboard because its none exsistent. They are talking about a day one patch which makes me even more annoyed that I paid extra money to play it early as I am not getting the full experience, not to mention that there are only 2 game modes to play.

I highly suggest skipping this game even if they continue to fix bugs and balance issues throughout the months. Destroying the class system that worked well with Battlefield to a new specialist system to specially make you want to spend money on skins tells me that the Dice/EA only see the gamers as easy money. Even having portal game-mode won't even save the game for me to continue playing it. Thanks, Dice/EA, you truly lost a long-lasting fan of the series. Expand

    If im betatesting a game I want at least to be paied, not the other way around?
    Good example that metacritics score is bought, the obviously didnt play the game...69 rating my a***
    You can only trust user ratings and therefore you can clearly see at what state the game is...

    I dont want even to start what has gone wrong in the game because there are so many...
    This game got release waaaaaaaaay to early...It should be illegal and punished to sell game at this state, because the customer gets joked around. Please guys, for the sake of a better future for games that get released, dont buy the game, at least not for full price. Its not worth it, this game is frustrating on so many levels, you will experience crushs, bugs, bad netcode and hitbox is like a joke. Dont buy it, wait.

    For the oldtimers, this isn't a BF game. It's a horrible put together hero shooter with the Battlefield-tag.

    Bugs aside, you have weapon bloom, specialists clones all around, wingsuites galore, maps put together in Garry's Mod, horrible out of place voicelines and an overall soulless experience.

    I would advice anyone not into hero shooters to stay away.

In all honesty, if Dice/EA took the Battlefield name off it it would be somewhat acceptable.

    The good:

    - Portal might be good some day.

    The bad:

    - No classes
    - Wide open maps with no cover
    - Maps are too big and turns the game into a running simulator
    - No scoreboard
    - No changing squads
    - No changing teams
    - Awful hit registration
    - Awful random bullet deviation
    - Broken hover tank that can scale walls and harder to blow up than a tank.
    - Bug that won't allow you to re-deploy when you die. You have to leave the game.
    - Bug that will show your team mates as enemies and they can knife you to death
    - Only 22 weapons, of which 2 are actually good.
    - Attachments unlocked that are cosmetic only.
    - Some attachments do the opposite of what the description gives.
    - XP disabled in custom portal games
    - Attachment progression disabled in AoW Solo / Squad matches.
    - Crashes and disconnects
    - Persistence data error that makes the game unplayable.
    - Only two modes on 7 maps for AoW that feels like you are playing wide open fields.
    - Control points in breakthrough mode on top of skyscrapers what can't be captured because there are 11 vehicles on top.
    - Hit registration, or lack there of. You will dump an entire clip into an enemies back to have them turn around and kill you.
    - You can get in a vehicle and shoot and kill yourself because the animation still has you outside of the vehicle.
    - Crap FPS on the highest end systems. Changing the settings makes virtually no difference.
    - No stats page
    - No server browser
    - Lobby disbands after every game, no carryover
    - No distinctions between factions except the glow stick colors. Soldiers around the world wear glow sticks to make themselves unseen to the enemy. Sometimes you see the Betty White specialist kill the other Betty White specialist who is then revived by the Betty White specialist.
    - When you spawn in you are forced into an animation of chambering a round that you can't avoid. If you spawn near an enemy, you are dead.
    - Not nearly enough destruction.
    - Can't change the scale of the UI, or the zoom of the mini-map.
    - No all chat
    - No bullet damage on hit, this goes for vehicle hits too.
    - Finding yourself on the map or the mini-map can be... challenging.
    - You can't dive under water but...
    - You can fall through the map
    - Portal
    - No single player campaign that was left out to focus on the multiplayer.
    - No spectator mode
    - No community servers
    - No test range
    - No 3d spotting
    - No contextual leaning
    - No crouch sprinting - No scope zeroing - No tiered or paused reloads - No melee weapon choices - No thermal optics in the future - No Claymores - No first person takedowns which are different based on positioning. - No naval vehicles even though a loading scene depicts one - No gunner direction indicator - No TV missiles - No vehicle kill assists. Do 95% of the damage... Well, too bad. - No in-game VOIP at launch - No static weapon emplacements - No infantry focus maps. You will get farmed by vehicles. - UI is intrusive effecting gameplay. - Impossible to play with more than 3 friends. I will NEVER preorder or prepurchase an EA game ever again. This should be very concerning for both the Developer and the publisher as I have been playing Battlefield games since BF2 came out on PC, and have purchased many of the games (and their DLC) on multiple platforms i.e. PC, XBOX, PlayStation etc.

It filled a great niche between milsim games like ARMA and twitchy games like COD. Using class based objective gameplay, with a slightly faster pace but still utilizing teamwork, tactics including balanced and fun vehicle play. All that is gone now.

    BF2042 is not even a BF game to me, the specialists are hokey cringe worthy arena shooter stuff, and we can tell this was the supposed to be the semi-arena shooter Battlefield. Hazard Zone was really the only intended game mode, the Conquest and especially Portal modes are panic adds. But it all just falls so short.

    Then there is the myriad of technical issues that I won't document here, they are being talked about all over the place already.

    For all intents and purposes they have abandoned the entire franchise for this misguided redesign. The best I honestly think we can hope for is this release to fail miserably and the developers be forced to do some soul searching and come back with a legit, back to the roots BF "7"

    They've lost their soul on this one. :(

There is only one thing I wish for right now...I wish I could get a refund. This is the last time I ever buy an EA game and the last time I pre-order from any company. All these corporations are just out there lying to us in their promotional material and lying to us about how the game development is progressing. I'm such a fool! I have officially uninstalled the game. You win this round EA, you got my money, you thieves.

    Here is a list of **some of the things** this game messed up:
    -After 3 patches, for me anyways, it plays worse with constant hitching and rubber banding, even on the 64 player modes.
    -The UI is convoluted and annoying to navigate. Even simply things like editing your "classes" takes way too many clicks. What was wrong with how BF4 did it?
    -There are only 22 guns in the base game this is so boring, especially because there are only a few that are actually useful. Even worse, because there are only 22 guns progression is drawn out and slow. I know there are more guns in portal mode, but those are half baked implementations that have zero progress, barley any attachments and are only usable in portal mode which is not the reason people bought this game.
    -Portal feels like something they slapped into the game to make it feel like there is more content then there actually is. The main game is pathetic compared to past games, there are no smaller game modes like TDM, Domination, Rush (outside of limited time modes), conquest small. There is only 128 player conquest and 128 player breakthrough. Why?
    -The maps are universal in size. If ​you get stuck without a vehicle, which happens all the time because they FORCE you to spawn at the beginning of a match even if all the vehicles are full leaving you to walk a quarter mile over them hills to get to an objective. Yes there is a vehicle call in system but that is disabled at the beginning of the match, so do yourself a favor and redeploy to save time. There is just far too much down time between objectives, how this passed QA is beyond me. In my opinion, there isn't a single good map in this poop stain of a game they all feel way too large and have too little cover. So prepare for the ride of your life getting shot from ever direction imaginable and being struck down by helicopters, because its open season for foot soldiers.
    -The specialist are super lame, they should have just stuck with classes like always. The specialist's voice lines are completely contrary to the tone set by the initial trailers and cinematics. They tell jokes and brag, its odd. At the very least they could have put certain specialists into specific classes so you know what type of class any given specialist is. I would have preferred classes like always and sells skins for those, easy. You don't need lame looking, lame sounding, sorry excuse for a COD character specialists. Open up them wallets for an exciting future of $20 ridiculous looking skins and extreme class confusion.
    -The amount of missing features compared to past games is too long to list here, just look it up.
    -The most annoying thing out of all of this is people bought the expensive versions of the game to play early but got an absolute garbage can of a game and now a month later the game is close to %50 off LOL...F me, right??? No apology and no guarantee there will be future content (look at BF5 for how their promises turn out). EA hates you.

    I'm pretty confident in assuming there are no original developers left at Dice, they are either a failed studio or shackled by EA's corporate greed. This game makes a mockery of the franchise. I've had enough of this.

    in gaming industry, the customers pay $60 to do the job that someone failed miserably at.

    This time around, DICE have skipped the campaign mode and dedicated an additional year to the development of BF 2042. Before any of the playtests, it seemed like DICE finally understood what makes a Battlefield game. They paid homage to the older titles, as well as legendary "only in Battlefield" moments, most notably rendezook, and at this point it looked like we're finally getting the one game that will dethrone BF4

    Then the beta arrived, which was unfortunately a very accurate portrayal of the final release.
    Personally, I hated the Orbital map, and at least had hopes the other maps won't be as empty.

    Maps: The size and design of the maps remind me of BF3: Armored Kill DLC which, as veteran players might remember, are designed for vehicle combat. The maps were amazing back in BF3, because they were an option in the huge roster that the game had.
    2042 however doesn't have any other style of maps, with the common theme being a lack of cover, which makes infantry combat absolutely boring.
    Destruction-wise, this game seems to take a step over 10 years back, providing an absolutely underwhelming damage model with very few walls being destructible.

    Class system: Replaced by a lackluster operator system. Out of the entire roster, the only operator which currently feels fun to play is Mackay, who has a zipline that can be used to traverse the massive maps quicker.

    Gunplay: Absolutely awful, currently standing with 22 weapons, and 1 meta gun that everyone uses. Don't have it unlocked? tough luck.
    If you're using an SMG, LMG or AR, your bullets fly absolutely everywhere except where you aim.

    Matchmaking: Awful, with complete lack of basic features as - switching teams, joining squad with friends, server browser
    Progression: Slow and boring
    Soundtrack and sound design: Awful
    UI: Awful

    Verdict: If you're hoping that this game will be eventually saved by someone as was the case of BF4 back in the day.. don't get your hopes too high.
    This is not a good game, which just has a few technical issues that need to be polished,
    if this title ever wants to be successful it needs a complete ground-up overhaul.

    I have played every BF game and as a veteran of the series I must say that THIS IS A JOKE XD after many patches this game is still unplayable at the moments. Progressions and all new mechanics in the game suck. Even PORTAL mode is lame... better stick to original games like BF1, BF3/4 etc.

    DO NOT BUY! Yet another pathetic EA holiday cash-grab. DICE/EA marketed this game knowing FULL WELL that it was NOTHING near what was being represented. I paid $100 to play this game early. Joke was on me because the servers didn't work for the first 3 days after launch. Game still doesn't work. Hitreg is laughable, gunplay is atrocious, maps are wide open fields of GARBAGE.

    This game is the most stinky pile of sh*t I've had the displeasure of playing. The devs should be ashamed and EA deserves all the hate it gets. They keep getting away with scamming people, charging 60$ or more for early access and don't care about the consumer's experience .Vote with your money, don't buy this game.

    Yet another garbage FPS from worst company in gaming. F**k EA. No I don’t care that game is „better, now after updates”. Releasing **** unfinished, broken, undercooked and buggy product is something I will never be okay with. F**k EA and Dice.

    Probably the biggest disappointment so far when it comes to BF-games. It's not just the bugs, but it's a bad game at the core which won't get fixed with any patches whatsoever. Save your money, DICE doesn't deserve it if they resort to making cheap chinese knock-off feeling games of their own franchise.

    As a long-time Battlefield fan, I spent 21 hrs on this game these few days to try to like this game, I even got myself to level 26 to see will I feel better when I level up and get more guns and gadgets.
    But unfortunately no matter from the broken weapon balance or the poor map design or bugs or so many things, it all just makes me feel like I'm torturing myself.
    The only positive

    The only positive thought I get after this 21hrs is that I'm so happy I didn't pre-order and I didn't buy it either.

    Summarizing my experience, the new maps are not only way to big, but also boring and empty and definitely not nextgen. The Weapons feel and sound like Toys. Ttk feels to long. There are so many bugs, the game looks like the alpha version. This peace of code is such a garbage, it’s not even funny. I am so happy, I paid only 4 Euro for ea access so I have played it for 10 hours.

    It strikes me as disrespectful to the legacy of all battlefields, and to the community that holds them so dear. You can see the attempt of a badly done warzone, this is not battlefield, tactical run? no penalty when you run and shoot? frenzied and unreal movements?

    When I saw the trailer, I was so eager to buy it, I had high expectations, I am a veteran of this saga, since I was a child

    When I saw the trailer, I was so eager to buy it, I had high expectations, I am a veteran of this saga, since I was a child I have been playing it and I continue to do so, but from the depths I feel passed away.

    Specialists? what is that? And the leaderboards? The plates? The emblems? Community servers? Harcore mode?

    Do you want to shoot at a distance with a submachine gun? Well forget it, you will draw the silhouette of the enemy before giving him a bullet

    The thermals? not sorry, this is 2042

    No vehicle entry animations, no direction indicator, no modifiable zoom on tanks, no bonus of any kind, no commander on teams, etc.

    I could go on, but because of the high respect and affection I have for the franchise, I will leave it here.

    If they cannot return to what is battlefield, and its essence as such, we are in the presence of how a franchise found its own grave, greetings.

    Disadvantages:
    -small arsenal of guns
    -maps too big -maps too empty, if you don't have a vechicle you'll spend 5 minutes trying to get to the point just to get killed because maps are so empty you can't hide from the enemy -very limited enviorement destruction compared to BF4 and other BF games -overpowered vechicles -borinig and cringey specialists -you can't distinguish enemies

    Specialists are cringe AF. Their stupid snarky comments at the end of each round… wtf is wrong with Dice seriously, supposed to be in a end of the world **** and your got these non-binaries woke ****heads boasting about how good they where… ****.

    Maps are HUGE. And EMPTY. No cover, just long long loooooong streches of NOTHING. Capture points placed in either impossible to attack or impossible to defend spots. Map design is ****.

    Destruction? Not this time. Maybe you can break a wall here and there, but that’s it. No better than COD and a huge step back from any BF game since Bad Company 2.

    Weapons? Sure… they all work like **** exept for SMGs which are OP AF. Stupid « bloom » which is nice way to say lack of accuracy. This is 2042 and weapons in BF1 have better accuracy.

    Gone are the classes now so everyone running around with rocket launchers on the backs. Can’t revive some players, can only revive your own squad mates.

    Squads? lol can’t comm with them, can’t change squad, can’t make one private with buddies, nope. All random.

    I could go on and on about the endless vehicule spam, the hitboxes, ****ty weather system, the stupid Hovercrafts that can climb up buildings, and many many other reasons why this game outright blows. Wish I could get it refunded, one of THE worst game in history.

    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.
