    Bad grafiks, bad Performance, high price, too much players (128) and only 25 guns. The worst battlefield all time

    Really disappointed that so much of the game is missing. The game feel like it should be in early access as so many great battlefield features are missing. I am sure in a few years I will play this game but I really need to learn to never pre order a game.

    Позор

    Впервые решил приобрести игру до ее выхода за что и поплатился Был наслышан, что любая из последних battlefield может быть играбельна минимум через год после ее выхода Как же я надеялся (почему вдруг?) что в этот раз будет не так С полностью уверенностью заявляю, что лица, ответственные за выпуск игры в таком состоянии + получившие за неё деньги, должны понести уголовное наказание    Позор

    50+ hours into the pre-release. It's garbage. They don't even track stats.
    - No classes

    - 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 minimap.
    - 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 - No gunner direction indicator - No TV missles - 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...well...interesting - Impossible to play with more than 3 friends.    … Expand

Everything else is an absolutely half baked, poorly implemented experience that almost feels like a money grab, despite knowing seeing just how much money was wasted on development. The gun play is a horrific experience, that feels like an rng gamble for hit registration. User interface is disgusting and almost unreadable. The levels themselves are the largest we’ve seen yet, and even with twice the player count are barren masses of land with few points of action. The game is missing nearly all of the features that have classically made Battlefield what it is, destruction, class defined load out, TEAM PLAY!
    Vehicles absolutely dominate the game, with almost no meaningful way to defend or oppose them.
    I honestly cannot believe that this project was approved for publication. Do not listen to the YouTuber’s and game journalist’s who have clearly been paid to endorse this game. It’s not worth the purchase, and in its current state wouldn’t be worthy of a $30 price of admission.    … Expand

I plaid now more than 50 hours to make a good review. Let's put all bugs, glitches and balance problems aside and see what remains:

    Negative:

    - The killed the whole teamplay. I am not able to know who is medic, ammo guy etc. Squads are useless and only good as a spawn point.
    - They killed all options we need for a good gaming experience: Squad switch/create/lock, Scoreboard
    - Who the hell had the idea to NOT integrate a server browser? I dont want to play random maps. I want to join my favorite servers with my favorite map, friends and settings.
    - No more ingame chat for the whole server? Who smoked too much pot before doing this decision? Its a multiplayer game, i want to laugh and talk with my enemy players about funny situations in the chat!
    - Dice/EA decided to delete ALL strong features from the past, which we loved and hoped that they will enhance them instead of deleting them:
    --- no proper damage to buildings / no falling of buildings and leave a mess and add a "new area" for playing
    --- no commander mode (would be amazing especially the player increased to 128)
    --- the levelution was great in the past, it created a new level inside the level. Dice decided to skip that and insert some Tornado which is just annoying after a while
    --- Battlefield V had a great system to build sandbags, road blocks etc. It gave the game more depth and something to support ur team even you are not shooting. Guess what, its not there anymore....
    --- Dice decided to delete what makes Battlefield special (the classes), instead we have specialists and everyone can pick all items. That some good decision? Not!
    - Battlefield 2042 doesnt have a character. Its a mix of marketing ideas, stacked together and thrown at the gaming audience.
    - Bots: we dont need bots in a multiplayer game. If people want to play against bots, they can play training mode or a singleplayer game.
    - Hazard Zone: tried it once. Will never play it again.
    - Battlefield Portal is a good idea but as i expected, it will not work out well: most servers are crap with settings you dont want to play. Then the second issue is, that if you find a good server, the chance is high that its not there anymore next time you want to play it. Cause the server are shutting down if nobody is playing on it. So you can not have a dedicaded server in ur favorite list where mostly the same people are playing together. Portal is for some fun modes for in-between. But nothing serious in the long run
    - Did i say that they killed the whole team- and squadplay ? ....

    -------

    Positive (reason i give 1 point for the score):

    - Awesome big maps. Gives you a great oldschool Battlefield atmosphere.
    - Graphics looks mostly amazing.

    I went into the game with an open mind, I have been a fan since the days of BF2. Nice intro, then an explanation about conquest which said you win the battle by capturing points not wiping the enemy, and that my be correct on paper and in a small amount of games but most of the time the game is one by wiping out the enemy.

    The other main issue other than paying £90 for game that doesn't have a story mode which I have enjoyed in the past, was the fact on lower end systems that meet the minimum specs it ran like hot garbage. I get more frames playing a heavily modded Arma 3 than this pile of trash.

    The Multiplayer experience was about what I expected to be...rubbish. In the past the difference between BF and COD has been that BF is a team game, but jumped into multiplayer and was spawn killed straight out of the gate.

    The Weapons: I don't know what the recoil settings are but they were absurdly high, in the pre release you could only un lock a small amount of weapons.

    No classes, no scoreboard,

    PROPER REVIEW:
    As a Battlefield veteran, preorder 2042 was obvious to me. I didn't get discouraged by the negative feedback - I liked the beta quite a bit, and the BF5 was also heavily criticized and in the end I had a great time. But 2042 is different. For the first time in my "career", when I entered the new version of BF, I felt completely lost. The maps are huge, but at the same time there is so much going on on them that you are constantly running from point to point, there is no time to rest. Operators are unintuitive, it's hard to tell from the start what each of them can actually do - you have to try them all to find one that suits your style. The starting weapons are terrible and at first you only have the scope / holo from the add-ons. This gives players with unlocked add-ons a significant advantage over you and it really discourages you from continuing to play if this is someone's first experience. And vehicles - they deal massive damage and you can do almost nothing to them. The stock rocket launcher is too weak - the three shots you have in reserve take 1/4 of the health of the stock hovercraft.

    On the other hand, Portal is very fun. Even excluding fully custom matches, you get something like "Battlefield Classics Remastered" in the package. The return to the classic maps and gameplay from BF1942 in the new graphics was great. I would even be inclined to say that if they released it as a separate game, it would have been more successful. And on smaller maps you can see a significant jump in performance - unfortunately, apparently the Frostbite engine cannot cope with SO large maps of the main mode.

    To sum up - at this point I am better off playing multiplayer Halo Infinite, but BF 2042 has potential. I'll probably come back to the game in a month and a half - around the beginning of next year - once the game gets a bit patched and maybe they'll fix the things that put me off.    … Expand

    Overall the games poor, really poor.

    The only redeaming part of 2042 was the portal system, but DICE have removed any kind of experience from the gamemode blocking all progression instead of fixing it, killing it in it's tracks.

    - MR NOBODY
    - InfiniteFaux
    - MjeeD

    It truly baffles me how far off the mark this game is from being what everyone expected.

    I expected an experience reminiscent of BF4: being one among dozens of nameless soldiers, locked in dispassionate conflict taking place on a landscape that was indiscriminately chosen to be the victim of the ravages of war.

    Feeling truly immersed in a world stricken by poverty, natural catastrophes, and high inter-governmental tensions.

    Keeping with the integrity and foundation of BF4 - war adornments (ribbons & medals), extensive customization (tangible & cosmetic), distinct and iconic roles and playstyles (assault, engineer, medic, sniper).

    The feeling of cooperative embrace, of being one team fighting for each other's survival.

    What I got: a pitiful amalgamation of the most marketable and fast-paced, eSports-esque attributes of Apex Legends, Rainbow Six: Siege and CoD: Warzone.

    Right away, playing the beta made me realize how much of a misrepresentation the official trailer was.

    It's an ongoing, frantic frenzy of ants on a picnic blanket, running huge stretches by foot while all the vehicles are currently away partying on the top-floor penthouses of skyscrapers. It's basically a cross-country running simulator most of the time while the dysfunctional drivers and pilots steal a helicopter at the start of the round to go on a leisure tour the whole game. It shouldn't be that hard to manufacture or purchase dirtbikes or quads en mass in 2042.

    Quirky, superfluous 'specialists' that crack cringy corn-ball quips at the end of the round like, "That was fun," or, "I'm just better than everyone else!", completely dismissing the harsh atmosphere and aesthetic that the initial cutscene paints. That's the kind of flaunty animation sequence you'd see in... perhaps... a battle royale game? I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing first place do the [insert viral physical motion here] at the ends of rounds in the next couple of months. Am I playing Battlefield or Apex Legends?

    I hate seeing a group of identical clones running around while I try desperately to cling onto the tiniest sense of realism or familiarity. This was an issue that others may feel indifferent about. To me, after being subject to this "hero shooter" direction for the past several years, it's the last thing this game needs.

    It's a haphazard mess with several discrepancies and misplaced decisions, flat out lacking many emblematic facets of Battlefield (or ANY triple-A FPS title, for that matter) such as a scoreboard, squad switching, classes, and more.

    What's with this whole No-Pat freedom fighter militia - mind you, with no actual basis or story (R.I.P. campaigns in games) - but then it's just the typical USA vs. Russia trope again?

    Conquest (one of **** two available game modes) is an endless series of frustrating and hectic interactions with soldiers and vehicles, including but not limited to: missing hit registers, sporadic fire patterns, nondescript vehicle damage, inconsistent and poorly designed driving & piloting mechanics.

    The number of bugs, coding mistakes, balancing issues and content voids will probably result in a patch timeline that competes with even those of No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 because clearly, EA's focus was on "making a game meant to sell, not to play. (~Mr Nobody)"

    I've seen people say they still have hopes for the game's potential.

    The thing is, these aren't issues that can be solved with a 12 to 20-month service life like we thought would solve our complaints of BFV.

    These are inherent creative decisions that go completely against what a Battlefield game is, and would require a literal re-design of most of the game itself.

    There is an utter lack of variety and things to do in the game. I feel like I'm playing a $30 Kickstarter game that got popular on Twitch.

    Battlefield 2042 is just so clearly the outcome of the executive imbeciles at EA believing battle royales are still the absolute formula for good game design, completely overruling any one person's desire to remain faithful to an authentic Battlefield experience.

    There are so many things that they got wrong... the way helicopters behave, the limited gameplay variety, the questionable issues latent in the settings menu, the confusing and unfulfilling weapon & vehicle progression, the unbalanced nature of combat, and more.

    I'm just really disappointed.    … Expand

Gunplay has terrible bloom in which makes gunplay practically RNG, I don't care about bullet deviation in real life this is a game people play to relax and have fun and the god-awful hit detection adds further salt to the wound. Weapon balance is a joke, PP29 is the most used weapon by far, and have fun trying to compete with it unless you have a vehicle, those of which are seriously strong and prevent infantry gameplay from being truly viable. There are 2 main game modes outside of portal and Hazard Zone which are basically just useless at this point since most portal games are player XP farms and because Voice Chat isn't implemented yet, it makes game chat with randoms on Hazard Zone nigh impossible. This isn't even getting into the removed features from prior games and the little amount of destruction that is a series staple.

    What makes this all worse is that supposedly the game was ahead of schedule, killed off two games that they already messed up and just fixed (Battlefront 2 and Battlefield V), and took multiple studios to come up with an offering that is significantly less than any series entry within recent memory. The icing on the cake is we are not supposed to get the first season until later next year, which is our only hope to get additional content to fill the barren wasteland here. Please, do not purchase this game and stay far away until they are able to remedy these issues. It is clear that EA/DICE do not have a single idea of what a reasonable product for release is and are so out of touch with their community that I think this was the last chance for them to make a decent launch entry since Battlefield 3.

    Doesn’t know what it wants to be. At least BFV for how flawed it was had a functional core experience. There is essentially nothing redeemable about this game without redesigning it completely. Remove 128p modes, give us maps that are actually playable.

    I feel robbed after buying this game, after earlier flops i had high hopes for this thought maybe you learn or at least understand what community wants, 3 years to make this crap and you sold it as 'a love letter to fans', f that i now want 'a letter of apology' because i m sick of companies putting out complete garbage as AAA games. I bet now you guys have more accountants andI feel robbed after buying this game, after earlier flops i had high hopes for this thought maybe you learn or at least understand what community wants, 3 years to make this crap and you sold it as 'a love letter to fans', f that i now want 'a letter of apology' because i m sick of companies putting out complete garbage as AAA games.

You guys sold garbage in an overrated and hyped package. Greatly disappointed… Expand

    It is a game that has mountains of potential, but it still seems a pre-alpha, it is a game that is not ready, it seems to be done reluctantly and in a hurry, it is fun even if it is full of bugs wherever you look, if you want to buy it to have it in case in the future they put patches on everything, but now it is a game with a lot of potential to be a jewel.

    Maps are way too small. And no one's is talking about it. The smallest map should be the size 10 hamada to accommodate for absolutely insane 128 players , crazy number indeed. Very good thing they got rid class system. Its always a good idea to get rid systems that are core to your somewhat successful franchise.

Also hit reg very good. Only takes me one clip to NOT kill an enemy because dumping 31 rounds into him, he turns around and kills me.

    Worst experience ever... This game is full of bugs and the optimization is null... Graphics bugs, gunfight feeling close to 0, no scoreboards, no chat, 0 realism. I bought this game 50 bucks, god...

    Also, the animation is poor, no revive animation (shame in 2021...)

    What a shame for DICE to release A Battlefield Game like this!!

    No stats, no classes, no destruction, no server browser, only 22 weapons, no global chat, NO SCORBAORD, horrible level design, no squad gestion, no real kill feed and more and more missing features.

    All features that are identity of Battlefield are gone!! I go back to BF4, that's over............

    If DICE don't go back at work and release a srious finished game in 6 month, then BF 2042 will be the last game of the license I bought....................

    I'm a huge fan of BF franchise, and I preordered the Ultimate Edition right when it was available. But I didn't think I would regret it. So huge disappointment.

    Something has shifted fundamentally in development, these games are completely under delivered on every time they release. The players are also partly to blame for the state of games.

    Something has shifted fundamentally in development, these games are completely under delivered on every time they release. The players are also partly to blame for the state of games. I don't know how many times I've seen people saying things like "of course the game is buggy and incomplete, it just released", or "in six months will be a good game".

    Dice has been doing this type of large scale games for years and for some reason instead of getting better they’re getting worse.

    This game doesn't have a scoreboard, no server list for all out warfare, no persistent lobbies, less game modes in comparison past games, no meaningful customization, no enjoyable progression, you can't select what squad you will join, you can't diving while swimming, no "medic nearby" indicator when you are downed, no spectator mode, no single-player campaign, very few weapons (Just 22 in total), the UI is absolutely horrible (We don't have any UI customization from the previous games), no voip or global chat, this game has one of the worst gunplay in modern gaming (terrible weapon accuracy/hit box isn't consistent and the bloom system is so much worse than in any bf that came before/uncontrollable), very few maps (Big maps with way too much space between points of interest and with no cover. Turns the game into a running simulator), downgraded destruction over it's predecessors, the physics are non-existent, and performance in general is trash (It’s so badly optimized that they couldn’t even create a trailer without frame drops).

    I could cite more things, but other people already have done it better than me.

    This game is an insult to video games and to the BF franchise. We deserve better. Don't buy It! Dont waste your money.    … Expand

    Specialists ruin any kind of immersion you could ever have, these type of heroes just look stupid and out of place in a Battlefield, all people wanted was just an updated version of BF4 with near future weapons and vehicles .

    Hazard zone is crap, most boring mode ever.

    Hazard zone is crap, most boring mode ever.

    Portal is sadly dead, as XP is currently off for custom servers other wise you are just restricted to play conquest in 2 BF3 maps, 2 Rush BC2 maps and 2 conquest 1942 maps , missing a lot of weapons, gadgets, and stuff from previous titles.

    New maps are mostly empty, lazy game design didn't add anything for infantry fights there just big empty spaces you rather just die and re-deploy.

    128 players is a gimmick, plus missing all chat, scoreboard, destruction, server browser. Youtubers like Jackfrags, Westie and so on will say game is awesome and will keep creating content with it cause this is their job, the have either to fake the fun or just over act the fun out of this game in order to keep view incoming but do bite the bait , BF2042 is soul-less, lacks of passion and creativity

    Don't buy the game now wait 2-3 months for patches and new content.    … 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.
