    Put a bit more than 100 hours into it and as a long time battlefield fan i am just completely disappointed of every aspect in the game. Never going to touch that game again.

    Easily the worst Battlefield title to date and a top contender for the worst Battlefield launch ever. The Battlefield series is having an identity crisis and it shows. Trying to cash in on modern games as service gimmicks and a complete disregard for what makes the series good. Incredibly disappointing. I was really looking forward to this game and was let down immensely.

    Battlefield 2042 shows how profit is set over community. The game is so far from a former BF, you think it’s been developed by a total different studio, ok it mainly is, as we know most of the people from dice left after BF V.

    Remember BF3? Davamand Peak? Were the whole team jumped down the mountain?
    Cassias Boarder? Driving with a Jeep, seeing the antenna fall? Remember that pushing soundtrack in the map loading screens? Remember the screams, shouts and sounds on the game? You can endlessly continue that with all former BF.

    Nothing of that will be found in 2042.

    Performance and bugs can be fixed and will most likely be fixed. But changing the game will not happen - this is on the same level as Hardline :(

    So sad but most likely the last BF that I have bought.

    PS: Customer Service EA sucks even harder then the game when it comes to refund

    You won’t find anything of that in 2042.    … Expand

    i have played every single Battlefield game since BF 1942 and if you combine every single error and glitch from 1942 and until battlefield V it would still be short of the amount of glitches and bugs 2042 has and that is saying something, currently farming simulator 2022 has more players than 2042 heck even the parody game has more than twice the amount of players,

    All the options like the scoreboard making a squad private and kicking from your squad so you can actually play with your friends have been completely removed from this game, its like the lead developer was some kind of SJW that wanted to force everyone to play together and give out participation throphies for just installing the game

    i hate the call of duty series because it caters to the arcade game style and at this point i'm more interested in playing call of duty

    3 monts after the realease, the game is completly abandoned. It still has too much basic bugs and there are some features are absurd.

    Why the **** would they remove the good old 4 classes to add these Fortnite-like SpECiaLIsTs? It was one of the main advantages of battlefield over other games; everything was balanced, you couldn't run a sniper with a rocket launcher and an automatic turret.

    As for optimization, I just won't talk about it. Out of 10 tries, the 6 it didnt even launch properly. Sometimes the gun models wouldn't load, sometimes the game itself wouldn't load.

    So, if you are thinking of buying this game, don't. Wait for it to go like 20€ (or even free, as the rumours suggest) and then you think again about it. Or you don't know, they may even release an UPDATE, something that for now belongs to science fiction.    … Expand

    The decisions going into Battlefield 2042 are completely baffling. The game released in the most broken state imaginable, and now as of 2023 has only just reached the state it should have been in on release, at least. No hope for this game and barely any hope for the next Battlefield that they are supposedly cobbling together at EA.

    This game sucks.
    They tried to do a strange combination of COD and Battlefield and it just doesn't work.
    I HATE the specialists.
    After every game you get a cringy voiceline from them.

    Also, as is tradition this new Battlefield launched in a completely broken state.
    But what's new right? I can deal with that. As a Battlefield player I'm even used to it.
    But Battlefield 2042 has so many core problems which are probably unfixable - I don't have high hopes for it.
    My recommendation? DO NOT BUY! Grab it when its 20 bucks in a few months if you want to.    … Expand

    Like many of you, I have been waiting for a good BF game since BC2. Simply put, this is not it.
    Poor Performance (terrible optimization)
    Laggy non dedicated servers
    Limited guns and customization
    No main menu, it's very weird. The UI in general is just bad.
    Plus tons of bugs.

    All of this makes the game virtually unplayable for me, thankfully I only paid the 15 and not 110..

    Being a BF fan since 1942, and having played over 6000h on all of them combined, and even though my likeness towards the game started to decline since BF4, I wanted this game to be good, I was hoping to be good, that is why I pre-ordered it and got the Golden edition. However, I forgot the main point...

    EA, DICE and most companies, want to make money. There is a difference though from    Being a BF fan since 1942, and having played over 6000h on all of them combined, and even though my likeness towards the game started to decline since BF4, I wanted this game to be good, I was hoping to be good, that is why I pre-ordered it and got the Golden edition. However, I forgot the main point...

    EA, DICE and most companies, want to make money. There is a difference though from "making money" and being greedy. EA is the later.

    My son plays a BattleRoyale game in his iPad. That game has around 30 characters, with 3 weapons that get several upgrades, and also some capabilities per character that get upgrades too.

    Originally they give you 4-5 characters, but if you want more, obviously the more advanced, you need to unlock them (it could take 100s of hours of playing) or just buy them for $15 each. However, if you want to fully upgrade them, you can spend ~$200-300 for EACH character.

    EA has seen that model in most mobile games, and they want their cut. Old type of gaming, where we were giving $40-50-60 to buy the game and $40-50-60 more for all the DLCs, along with some $$ for them from private servers rent isn't by any means nearly profitable as the mobile model.

    So, they don't really care about the "old" community, their target group are children that are willing to spend $100s for unlocks, attachments, characters, animations, even emoticons! Along with them, they want to be inclusive, by adding transgender, gay, snowflakes, etc.

    All the above result in the game we have in our hands, and how it will change in the future. The game is not built to please the "soldiers", but the fans of skins, stupid jokes, egocentric behavior, that just want to compare their achievements with their friends. And by "achievements" I don't mean kills, revives, resupplies, captures, PTFO, but things they bought and show off anytime, not just in the endgame.

    On top of that, the game is a disaster, engine wise, as Reddit, Youtube and other popular places are full of "only in BF" moments, that are not funny, but bugs. The state of the game is not Beta, neither Alpha, is "Under Development". The Day-1 patch was more focused on skins and Specialists animations, than actual bugs, or balance. Maps are empty, there is minimal destruction (glass doors remain intact, while the wall next to it falls), graphics performance is bad (my 6900XT cannot get above 130fps with LOW settings). All the "battle" happens in certain points, and the rest of the maps are empty with almost no cover. If you do not have a vehicle, you are simply dead, cause there is a fraction of a chance to reach a flag, without dying in the process.

    Most of the "old community" will buy the game based on nostalgia and hope, that we are going to feel the same as in BF1942, BF2, BC2 or BF3, but we are getting disappointed, every time since. Personally I bought it cause I am playing PUBG* for 4 years, and I need something else, and no other games are visible in the horizon.

    Overall, DO NOT BUY this game. DO NOT make the same mistake as me (although I am refunding it). We need to show DICE, EA and others, that this model is not viable for PC/PS/XBOX gamers, and either they have to present proper products, or disappear.

    *even PUBG released PUBG2 for mobiles, but nothing planned for PCs or Consoles.    … Expand

    - Trees can not be destoryed, most of the time.
    - No Weapon Damage against Helicopters
    - Tons of bugs, and yes every battlefield has bugs, but this bugs are insane, sometimes you can not move, sometimes you can not shoot, sometimes you can not change your stance anymore.
    - weapon handling feels like from the 90s, weird spread, weird feeling, just nope.
    - Weapons are so weird, for example there are only 2 LMGs, yes you read right, this 60/70$ game with no singleplayer campain, has only 2 Heavy MGs and you have to unlock them, but the best part is comming, no matter how many times you hit the enemy, you can not kill them as fast as a SMG, Rifle or Sniper Rifle can do.
    +/- movement is a bit clunky, but it is ok.
    +/- graphics are good enough
    +/- in portal mode you can play a very very very very light version of BF3, this is nice to have but with same bugs as main game.

The maps are way to big and bland. Vehicles are limited and yet critical due to the maps. The game isn't properly optimized for anyone. The physics are bad, hit registration is bad, bloom is bad, the limited weapon selection is bad, the lack of voip is bad, the lack of stat and scoreboard is bad, the spotting is weak, the UI/UX is horrid, Hazard Zone is NOT for solo players, and they are a number of regressions made.

    Portal is the only redeeming feature of this game, and that's just a shiny turd despite a lack of polish. It's plagued by balancing issues that were addressed in the originals and forgotten in this iteration. The only server browser in the game (which is exclusive to Portal for no good reason) is unsurprisingly flooded with xp farms.

    These plethora of positive reviews critics are clearly bought and paid for. They are dishonest and inaccurate.

In addition to that, there are only 20 weapons to unlock which is unacceptable for a 60$ multiplayer-only game. It was the first time that I had played cod MW 2019 a couple of years ago but I love its weapons customization and variation of guns that you can achieve by customization. I was hoping that BF must do that but even it's not close to that. I'm very disappointed with graphics since the bf games are prior to the graphical improvement in the fps genre, this is totally a downgrade for me.… Expand

    Game is absolutely riddled with bugs half the time breakthrough doesn't even work and if you exclude the portal there are only 3 game modes on battlefield 2042 with several maps which certainly isn't worth the price you pay when there isn't even a campaign this game is a bad joke

    A broken game on launch. Maybe in 6 months they will try to rework all the problems and make something of it, but it is not worth anyone's time or money. This game makes the CyberPunk2077 release seem good.

    Game runs poorly, 4 weapons, maps are massive but feel empty, assault rifles are useless, spawn-die-spawn-die.

    Have played hundreds of hours of BF4, bf5 and bf1 but this ain't it dog.

    Performance is terrible on a high end PC with an RTX 3070.
    The maps are too open and feel lifeless. There's no meaningful cover and this means that vehicles dominate everywhere on every map. Every map is just made of cubes with nothing inside them. No matter where you stand, you can guarantee that there's at least 10 vantage points that you can be seen from, so you just die repeatedly.

No matter where you stand, you can guarantee that there's at least 10 vantage points that you can be seen from, so you just die repeatedly.
    Vehicles heal themselves?? This makes it almost impossible to destroy vehicles unless multiple people are focussing on it at the same time. There's almost no risk for a player to hop into a vehicle solo and just start destroying people. Previous games would've required you take an engineer with you to repair the vehicle, which kept things balanced.
    There's a poor selection of weapons and gadgets compared with older battlefield games.
    Specialists have no place in a classic battlefield game mode. They completely break classes. Because of Specialists there's no way to know what your team mates are carrying, is Sundance carrying Ammo or an RPG? You'll never know because every character can equip every type of weapon. You truly cannot easily coordinate with your squad to make sure each requirement is covered. And even if you could you'd still never be able to take out a vehicle without either all of you carring an RPG or another couple of sqauds helping you.
    Aiming on mouse is like jelly, it's entirely unresponsive, which means you can't react quickly to close quarters combat.
    The guns that are present are unbalanced. The beginner SMG is more stable and useful at range than the standard Assault Rifle, which has insane recoil.
    The User Interface is truly the worst I've ever seen in a full priced "AAA" game. It's like it was made for a mobile phone. The tooltips for that you're looking at are in the corners of the screen.... well everything is in the corners, the loudouts are huge squares for some reason so you have to scroll to see them all but the scrolling is painfully slow. The toggles in the main menu are just undecipherable, you can't tell if something is on or off.
    The ping system is slow and laggy.
    There are still a lot of user interface bugs, such as permanent on screen loading wheels, getting kicked out of the "call-in" screen randomly.
    Oh and Hazard Zone is boring.
    All of this on top of the many many missing features from previous games that everyone else has already spoken about e.g Scoreboards, cover leaning, video feed from squad mates whilst on the spawn screen to ensure you dont choose to spawn nnext to an enemy tank.
    They really couldn't have released a worse battlefield game, there's so much more I could say but I've already ranted for too long. Do not buy this game, play BF4 it's better in every regard except for maybe graphical fidelity. Battlefield 2042 is not a fun game, it's a platform that has been built to take money from consumers. I do not believe that this game can be fixed in the way that previous games have redeemed themselves. The maps are too fundamentally broken and Speciaiists are too integrated into the game even from a map design perspective. They'd have to go back to the drawing board to make this a decent game    … Expand

    2042 is overwhelming. It throws so much information at you that it becomes incredibly challenging to make critical gameplay decisions (or any decisions) based on the information you have. It's like a visual and auditory sensory overload that tries it's best to let you know what the other 127 people on the server are up to at that moment in time. From the cluttered UI and HUD, to the2042 is overwhelming. It throws so much information at you that it becomes incredibly challenging to make critical gameplay decisions (or any decisions) based on the information you have. It's like a visual and auditory sensory overload that tries it's best to let you know what the other 127 people on the server are up to at that moment in time. From the cluttered UI and HUD, to the muffled audio and identity crisis, 2042 is confusing at best and downright overwhelming and frustrating at worst.

    The audio is overwhelming. There is something fundamentally broken and flat with the audio mix. There is no balance between critical gameplay information and immersion. It all blends together with no dynamics as if all sounds are played at the same volume. I cannot discern the sounds of my 30 teammates stomping around from the sound of a squad of enemies approaching. It's like trying to listen out for footsteps while wearing ear defenders, everything sounds muffled and dull. Trying to isolate the gameplay information from the white noise is an exercise in insanity.

    The HUD is overwhelming. With everything being this futuristic shade of neon teal, combined with tiny font, I feel as though I need to squint my eyes and scan read to figure out what information is being relayed to me. Why do I need to see an icon for every gadget I have equipped all the time? Wouldn't it be better suited to have a context overlay appear as I swap gadgets/weapons and use the space available to only show critical information like ammo, health and armour. Objective markers are so obtuse that I can't actually see the players hidden behind them. A1, A2, B1, B2 flood my screen and make no effort to reduce in transparency even if you are looking through gun optics.

    The maps are over overwhelming. The majority of the maps seem to have been designed without cover. I guess cover is not a thing in the future... I cannot possibly identify or count the angles I am open to being shot from and so I feel paralysed when trying to strategically push an objective. You are either completely swarmed by a death ball of enemies trying to find the action in an otherwise barren landscape or you are wishing you could call in a quad bike as you run a half marathon from your spawn point. There's no feeling of accomplishment as your team successfully pushes or defends a critical flag. It's just a red zerg and blue zerg moving around the map like a tornado made out of players.

    The minimap is overwhelming. There is so much information being crammed into such a tiny minimap that I don't know where to begin. With more players and more vehicles than ever before, the icons blend and merge into themselves. Every game prior has had the option to scale the minimap up and out of all the games that need this feature the most... this option is mysteriously absent. Pressing 'M' to bring up the overview map, can you quickly identify where you are and the direction you are facing using this feature? Or do you have to sift and scan through to find your tiny player triangle amongst a sea of other triangles and icons.

    The gunplay is overwhelming. Jesus christ I think this one makes me question my sanity the most. It feels like since the beta, everything has been given enough recoil and spread that hitting the broad side of a barn outside of 20m is just a pipe dream. Every fight is left up to unstable net code and random bullet deviation and I'm lucky if I can kill one person with a full magazine. As much as I don't like the implementation of spread, if it has to be in the game, look at how well it was done in BF1, you can still be incredibly accurate tap firing targets at longer distances. Across the BF titles, I am a 2.0 + k/d player. On this title, I am struggling just to go positive.

    The level of level of polish and fidelity makes this feel like it's a pre-alpha build with another year to go before release. Everything feels like it's placeholder, but they ran out of time and had to ship whatever was there. I cannot believe the game has launched in the state that it is in currently.    … 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.
