    This game is unacceptable. The usual release for battlefields is to release buggy, and like a diamond in the rough they get cut into the jewel they were meant to be at the beginning. BF2042 would need to be completely rebuilt. For a game with no campaign, built on an existing engine and hardly any content... how did the development team mess this game up so badly?

    It should have been delayed at least 6 months. "Ahead of schedule" bla bla, Mister Wilson.

    Sterile & boring graphics, being forced to use crappy DX12, too many BF features just missing, the mouse aim bug, overall performance... Did anyone do some serious playtesting before releasing this?

    Too many features missing from previous BF games while it feels more and more like a CoD game.

    Dice ain't the studio that gave us BF3/4 anymore. Too many of the good devs left. It's a heartless game.

    Worst balance I've ever seen.
    Worst progression I've ever seen.
    Hectic, meaningless gameplay, with broken mechanics and bugs.

    If you want to play it a bit - buy the subscription, but not the game.

    Everything is bad in this game. I don't even know where to start: from the technical part, from the game design/level design/sound design, balance, UI?.. everything is bad.

    An example from the technical part. I reinstalled the operating system and was unable to start the BF2042. I was getting an error related to visual studio. Even after manually installing the x64 and x86 packages,    Everything is bad in this game. I don't even know where to start: from the technical part, from the game design/level design/sound design, balance, UI?.. everything is bad.

    An example from the technical part.
    I reinstalled the operating system and was unable to start the BF2042. I was getting an error related to visual studio. Even after manually installing the x64 and x86 packages, the problem was not resolved. The problem was solved only after installing and running BFV.
    Several times after launching, I was getting the death screen. And no, I have no system or hardware problems. I have a brand new i9 12900K, 32GB 5200Mhz DDR5, RTX 2080ti, Windows 10 x64.
    In the middle of a match, the game crashed with a DirectX error. I reinstalled the video drivers, manually installed the latest DirectX package from the Microsoft site - it didn't help.

    I am using the "ADS Field of View" setting and when I use the sniper scope, the zoom stops working, and to fix this I have to change the scope and back on the fly.
    The animations of shooting, running, reloading BROKEN. At the moment of running, the animation breaks and the model simply slides over the surface.
    Hitboxes work oddly. In fact, there are only two hitboxes: head and body, and they are poorly made: the hitboxes are larger than the model itself. The damage in the arm and stomach/chest is almost the same.
    It often happens that these hitboxes do not work at all: you can shred your opponent with bullets, but the expected result will not be achieved.
    Vehicles can ride on walls. When jets crash into buildings (for example, on the hourglass map), nothing happens.
    Flight transport controls are broken. The controls are poorly configured, and if the behavior of ground vehicles is perceived as + - normal, then the behavior of the flight transport is simply disgusting.
    And if we have already started talking about tanks: why, for example, the speed of a tank turret when turning from the first and third person is different (mouse control)? it looks terrible.
    When I try to create my server in Portal, the ping is ~200. #TF?

    Now for game design.
    It seems to me that abandoning classes was a mistake. I think that the distribution of roles on the battlefield was (and is) one of the key elements of the Battlefield series, and it is also a hallmark of the Battlefield series. It was a deviation into tactics, and not into a senseless war of headless chickens, which BF2042 is now, unfortunately.
    The developers were even too lazy to assign specialists specifically to Russians and Americans. Russians and Americans have the same specialists. This is perceived, to put it mildly, strange.
    And in order to somehow navigate this madness, the developers were forced to attach red and green markers to the model. Imagine that the army of country N decided to attach markers to its soldiers to make it easier for the enemy to trace them on the battlefield. It's nonsense.
    Now specialists.
    These are not military specialists, they are clowns. They look awful and pretentious, talk and behave like 16-year-olds who have not known life, children!
    For example, a "Sundance". Even the name of this "military specialist" is already causing mixed feelings. What is this nose piercing? what are these pretentious hairstyles? where have you seen such a military specialist? She also has a tattoo on her face. Oh, God!
    She's a third-wave feminist! She is NOT a military specialist!

    The balance is terrible and completely broken.
    SMGs and marksman rifles are fully dominant. Vehicles, especially hovercraft, this is a legal cheat - very fast, very "fat", can ride on walls.

    Level design.
    All BF2042 maps are flat, empty fields, diluted in places with buildings. It's just horrible!
    If you've bought this **** and you've never played the previous Battlefield, compare the BF2042 and BF3 / Bad Company / 1942 maps in Portal mode, where the latest level designers didn't give a f##k.
    Sound design.
    The sound from the shooting is mediocre. The sound from indoor and outdoor shooting is NO different, only a small echo is added.
    The positioning of the sound is broken, it is difficult to understand exactly where the enemy is from the approaching steps. For example, if you are on the second floor and the enemy is on the floor below, you will hear him as if he is on your floor. The main soundtrack is disgusting! Just compare it to BF3/4 or others Battlefield games.

    UI.
    Acid, retinal-burning colors; no score table; You cannot scale the map to spawn correctly.

    Summing up.
    The EA looked at the success of Warzone and decided to make their own in order to bite off part of the audience from Kotick, thereby ### their own audience.
    Apparently, the Battlefield developers do not understand (or pretend not to understand) that if a player wants to play the Warzone, he will go to play the Warzone, not the pathetic copy of it, which is BF2042 today.
    Redo, DICE, or whatever is left of you.

Toutes les armes disponible sur le mode portal, votre mode de branleur "allez y la communauté créez le contenu pour nous" alors qu'il y a trop peu d'armes dans les modes Warfare et Hazard zone qui se passent en 2042 donc mettre les armes d'avant ça serait logique.surrout que très peu d'armes sont vraiment équilibré et que du coup tout le monde joue avec les 3 même armes.

    They have stripped everything that made battlefield, battlefield. And expanded out the maps into barren empty fields with no cover. You will spawn constantly and get shot from a kilometer away both because the spawn system sucks and because the maps are devoid of anything that can be considered cover. Unless you like to play vehicles prepared to be farmed harder than a losing team in MW2.

    Я, как фанат батлы со времен 3 части могу заявить с полной уверенностью, что это одна из худших частей батлы за все времена. И тут дело далеко не в механике стрельбы или лагахбагах (Хотя это тоже формирует мнение об игре), дайсы всегда в течение следующих 6 месяцев, с момента релиза, допиливали всё до играбильной кондиции.

    Я, как фанат батлы со времен 3 части могу заявить с полной уверенностью, что это одна из худших частей батлы за все времена. И тут дело далеко не в механике стрельбы или лагахбагах (Хотя это тоже формирует мнение об игре), дайсы всегда в течение следующих 6 месяцев, с момента релиза, допиливали всё до играбильной кондиции.
    Самая основная проблема - это геймдизайн, полное непонимание "из-за чего фанаты любят батлу", и манипуляция чувствами старичков, и ужимание интересов "большинства" в угоду "меньшинства". Я понимаю, тренды сейчас влияют на многое, и да, мы смирились с обилием женских персонажей в предыдущей части, но 2042 стала апогеем наплевательского отношения к истинным фанатам серии. И в том числе убивающая всё повестка навязывания терпимости к лгбт (я ничего против лгбт не имею, но пожалуйста, я не лезу к вам - вы не лезьте ко мне).
    Структура и архитектура карт была построена под один режим хазард зон (который был введен в игру из-за тех же трендов), никакущее разнообразие оружия, отсутствие классовости, отсутствие адекватной сетки статистики игроков (Которая меня, рукожопа, мотивировала играть лучше).
    По моему скромному мнению, эта игра получилась тяп-ляп. Строили её люди с полным непониманием основ ааа и без упора на опыт прошлых игр серии (никакой работы над ошибками). Ну и собственно вот что получается, когда в создании игры на первом месте стоит прибыль. Покупать? - пока рано, слишком много багов. Стерпится? - со временем да. Виновники? - менеджмент, отталкивающийся исключительно от трендов и собственных хотелок взять какие-то фичи из других игр.    … Expand

    The game clearly came out unfinished. It does not have maps, they will charge for new maps and for new characters. They take out a mega patch to put more things in, and what they put is a bugs that you can't even play, you can't ain with the mouse. Hateful, do not buy it, wait for them to put it for free or on offer on some platform, they will not take long.

    At best I would have called this game a Early Access Beta game. NOT a finished and polished game like what they advertised. At launch, monster tier computers struggle to run this game due to how poorly optimized it is. The netcode is sketchy at best. Shots will fail to hit where they should have hit, and weapon balance was a grotesque afterthought and its very much so clear they did not do any kind of internal testing to make sure all of this was working before they slopped this onto our plate.

    The game suffers from a bland identity crisis. that has stripped much of the battlefield experience from the game. The operators have annoying quips, and feels like their pulled from a fortnite experience rather than a battlefield franchise. most of the maps don't have any of that dystopian feeling they promised us in trailers, and their idea of a disaster is a tornado that is laughably underpowered and is used as a cheap thrill. Gone are the days where skyscrapers collapsed behemoths roamed and crashed into the battlefield or buildings fell apart in any meaningful way.

    This game is a honest disappointment. It is fun. and so long as your okay with the above issues it is worth a buy. but if you are a die hard battlefield veteran. you will be sorely disappointed. EA has chosen profit over giving us an amazing experience again.    … Expand

    Это худший из всех ААА релизов за последние несколько лет. Невозможно получить удовольствие от того, что тебя только раздражает.
    ОРУЖИЕ
    Оружия в игре, считайте, практически нет. Пару автоматов, два пулемета, три дробовика, один пистолет, один револьвер. Все. Но, окей, я бы простил BF2042 этот малый арсенал на старте, если бы он компенсировался отличной проработкой оружия, уникальным ганплеем, как, к примеру в MW19. Но нет, забудьте, этого вообще нет. Ты не почувствуешь разницы между ПП и автоматом, все ощущается крайне пластиковым и не интересным. Баллистика просто треш. Я даже описать толком не могу, просто треш, на фоне которого оружие из фортнайта покажется более реалистичным.
    КАРТЫ
    Нет, они не показались мне настолько масштабными, что до замесов приходится бежать. Замесы обычно в шаговой доступности, но проблема лишь в одном. Battlefoeld лично для меня всегда была уникальным шутером, засчет разрушаемости, от которой я был в восторге в BF1. Она позволяла выкурить противников, создать им помехи. получить некое тактическое преимущество. Да и в целом это было приятно и, самое главное, ВЕСЕЛО. Если вы обожали эти фишки в прошлых частях, то лучше даже не запускайте эту самоделку. Зданий почти что нет, а те что есть ВОООБЩЕ НИКАК НЕ РАЗРУШАЮТСЯ. Видишь небольшой домик в пустыне и он не является стратегическим объектом? Он не разрушаем, как бы ты ни старался, хоть танком попробуй проехаться. И такого ту полно. Объекты, которые в теории могли бы подвергнуться разрушению, тут просто состоят из сплава титана, который ничем не взять. Ко всем проблемам стоит еще добавить, что карты попросту скучные. Да, они могут быть красивыми и минималистичными, но они попросту наискучнейшие. На наполнение мира разработчики забили настолько, что вообще все дома абсолютно пустые. Там нет ни-че-го. По этой простой причине перестрелки в здании ни зрелищные, ни интересные. Даже погодные условия, которые, к слову, ни на что не влияют, не делают ваш экспирианс запоминающимся, уникальным и интересным. Карты настолько приторно-однообразные, что ты не запомнишь ни названия, ни их отличительные черты.
    ОПЕРАТИВНИКИ
    Ваша баттлфилд теперь каллофдуди. При условии, что игроков теперь 128, а оперативников менее 10, которые к тому же не привязаны ни к одной из сторон конфликта, вы сами понимаете, какой это ТРЕШ. на карте воюют десятки одинаковых Борисов, с двух сторон конфликта, которые одинаково орут одни и те же реплики. Если в 2042 воюют клоны, то я может пойму этот феномен, но это просто абсурд.

    Итог: игру может спасти только переработка оружия с нуля, новые карты и возвращение системы классов.
    Пока что это прямое издевательство над франшизой.    … Expand

    If the whole damn world would hop off social media, these games would have 0 spotlight/hype and then the devs/EA would realize the game *must* be complete when it's physically/digitally shipped to sit on a shelf in Walmart (like the 2000's). God forbid the game might have to:
    a) Be complete
    b) Have a soul
    But no - we live in the attention/spotlight world where you can make more money doing smoke and mirror marketing campaigns to hijaack the dopamine pathways of your consumer base.

    I was going to write a detailed review of how much this game irritates me.

    It made me cancel my EA Access and in general just hate FPS. This was like my last hurrah for them. Bye bye.

    I've put 40+ hours in the game so far and I have to admit this game could use some work. Not going to say anything about the technical issues because those can be fixed. The overall game experience feels like its unfocused, chaotic and lacks direction. Bad Company 2 content in Portal is cool though.

    Please orient yourself more on Battlefield 2 and 4 again. The current game lacks a lot of what Battlefield used to be about. It seems lovelessly developed throughout.

    The game is not enjoyable for me, as a die-hard Battlefield fan.


    I really hope you will listen to the community and make changes. If I could, I would return the game. I am just disappointed - while I had high hopes. I have spent a lot of time writing all this down. Please forward my words to the appropriate people.


    It's really a shame about the franchise. Battlefield must be saved! Thank you very much.    … Expand

    A complete disaster, this game is not playable. You have to go through lots of bugs, glitches, errors. There is a huge lack of content, the soundtrack is awful and the portal mode is broken... I've played Battlefield 1,2,3,4,5 and Bad Company 2 and this is the worst of them.

    Not sure why EA called this game Battlefield. It's simply garbage. I'm tired of playing the game around the bugs. When you finally think you figured out all the bugs, another one is discovered and I have to redeploy...again. Also, EA must have hired woke kids right out of college to ensure this game truly sucks for everybody...well they succeeded!

    The fact that the game is on 50% discount only after one month of release says alot about the player base.

    screw games as a live service, screw everyone who works in EA, screw them all for ruining such a classic game.

    Nearly 100 hours of playtime and I'm experiencing bugs in nearly all games

    Sentry guns are way overpowered in rush, they need to be nerfed or limited in number

    The hit registration issue is still here weeks after the release...

    I'm playing this only because I don't have anything else to play at the moment

    I tried liking the game. I tried really hard.

    There are some fun concepts, for example Sundance with the wingsuit, Dozer with the shield, playing Falck (Medic) feels rewarding; healing works well. Great gunfight physics: Shooting, hits, gun balance feels all smooth now. I can excuse a certain number of bugs regarding vehicles, movement and some specific perks for the moment.

    Great gunfight physics: Shooting, hits, gun balance feels all smooth now.
    I can excuse a certain number of bugs regarding vehicles, movement and some specific perks for the moment.

    The problem is that each modes' gameplay-design is individually broken.
    To many bad decisions have been made regarding setup, maps and vehicles.
    A quick example is TDM, shamelessly spawning you backwards in front of the opponent's gun countless times.
    Battlefield 2042 is blatantly skipping TDM basics, that have been tried and tested since decades and are essential for enjoying a match.

    Then there are the poster game-modes Conquest and Breakthrough:
    The maps fail to find the dimension that can satisfy both, infantry and fighterjets alike (of course...).
    If your squad doesn't have ambitious pilots, who can quickly reserve one of the few choppers or airplanes, that you could jump into the battlefront from, you will often find yourself forced to walk the entire map.
    These long, tedious walks lead players into using vehicles just to travel to the front, abandoning them after arrival.
    Effort placed in levelling and adjusting vehicles to battle efficiency is for nothing, since in the time of need, there will be none available.

    Of course there are these few specific tools, that can mitigate the problem to some degree.
    But efficiently bringing advanced tactics into play with 3 randoms in the squad and no voice-comms available, is just a very unrealistic expectation.

    What is really missing in Conquest & Breakthrough, are carefully designed maps of manageable size without vehicles.
    For example indoors, in a ship, a building, a village,
    anything except these vast open fields of emptiness, where only large vehicles and snipers can persist.    … Expand

    This is a Battlefield game in name only. In reality, it’s an unoptimized, undercooked, poorly thought out game that was clearly designed as a battle royal shooter before being shoddily hacked into something only vaguely resembling a Battlefield game right before launch. On top of that, EA’s refund policy makes it nearly impossible to get your money back for this hunk of garbage. HopefullyThis is a Battlefield game in name only.

    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.
