    Battlefield 2042 adds little in the new department and takes away a lot from the old. Without leaning onto the presupposed Portal community, having in mind the lack of an actual campaign and overall lack of technical stability, you have very little reason to be interested in Battlefield 2042

    If you’re looking to enjoy the next Battlefield title, turn back now. With the next patch not slated to arrive for another month, and the next content update to release some time after that, it’s going to be a while before 2042 can earn the right to be called a true Battlefield game. It’s best to wait until the smoke clears and DICE fixes any major bugs (maybe even wait for it to go on discount) before spending $70 on this game.

    Portal is a great mode, however because of the limitations of this engine's installment it does not look visually appealing at all.

    Be very wary of EA/DICE's online only "games as service" model, as seen with Titanfall 2's hackerfest, Anthem, Battlefront 2's cancellation of online service development, and Battlefield V's cancellation of development. EA and DICE have a track record that is very concerning and have a lack of talent.

    I would recommend EA/DICE completely gut the entire development teams and start from scratch.

    Horrible game. A blatant cash grab with no substance. Boring open maps, garbage gunplay, horrible UI, confusing menus, barely Any maps andHorrible game. A blatant cash grab with no substance. Boring open maps, garbage gunplay, horrible UI, confusing menus, barely Any maps and guns. This is not a complete game. Specialists are a failure. The game modes are broken and the map designs are obviously bad. Almost no destructible environments most maps don’t have a single building that can be completely destroyed. The graphics on ps4 look like a mobile game. I’m honestly l confused on how this game could be released. This is my last time buying a battlefield game. EA and Dice do not care about players they are just trying to release a broken game as fast as they can to get their money. Full Review »
