    This game has no soul to it. The weapon selection is very small, no classes but lame "specialist" that some how fight on both sides. The maps are big sure, but feel empty and no cover. Also so scoreboard, voice chat, leaning. But the two things that make me want to break things are all the loading cut scenes and end game taunts.......wtf

    I cannot stress the disappointment I have with this game. I am never going to preorder another game again, and I really think the refund for a game should be revamped and be more modern. This game doesn't have a single player mode, so one can't argue that the game could be"finished "in 24 hours. I am going to not buy a game from EA for a very long time because of this debacle. No other industry could get away with such broken products.

    Do not believe they will fix this game, the whole thing is a disaster. I'll be going back to battlefield 1 and 4.

    Enemies and allies are difficult to distinguish because they look the same. There is no fun or strategic role-playing in Battlefield 2042 because everyone is minding their own business, running for half an hour across an empty field just to die from a bullet across half the map.

    I played three previous Battlefield games from DICE developer and have never felt so emotional empty after each match before. It seems that 2042 was made by completely different people without the slightest experience in game-dev or love to players.

    This game is by far one of the greatest disappointments of all time. After the great trailers I was really looking forward to play this game. But after paying 70€ I can say, it wouldn't even be worth playing if it was free. If you want to play a great Battlefield game, go back to Battlefield 4 or Battlefield 1, even maybe Battlefield V.

Or when no one notices an enemy player being stood in the middle of your team due to having the same skins as your squad mates. Also, the end game specialists dialog lines are just out right cringe.

    Barely any guns in the base game, portal has had most of the guns from previous titles taken out (probably to make it seem like bf2042 isn’t shockingly lacking compared to previous instalments).

    Gun unlock system is just a COD clone. Gone are the Battlefield days where if you wanted a specific sniper rifle, so you’d use a sniper class. I personally loved this system. Now you use anything and get everything purely by level in up. Maps are almost too large, it’s a sprinting simulator half the time. Hit registration is poor (you’ll shoot between the targets legs and get hit markers, but shoot them in the elbow and you won’t get a hit) Terrible performance with a 3080TI has now thankfully been patched by nvidia (pre-patch, on lowest settings and FFR on @2k res, I was getting 40-90 fps, post-patch I am now thankfully getting 75-130 in fully maxed out bar ray-tracing, FRR on).

    This is just off the top of my head while taking a poo, I’m sure there is plenty I missed. Gutted about this one as always loved Battlefield, with the exception of Hardline. Even tho bf5 and bf1 weren’t great bf examples, I still enjoyed them lot.

    I’m actually shocked how bad this game has been. Between the inaccuracies in the weapons at mid to long range. Spawn glitches, where your stuck unable to spawn. When you do spawn, it could be directly in the middle of fire and will be killed almost instantly. The occasional inability to revive or be revived. Lack of anti air shoulder weapons and just an overall lack of weapons in general.I’m actually shocked how bad this game has been. Between the inaccuracies in the weapons at mid to long range. Spawn glitches, where your stuck unable to spawn. When you do spawn, it could be directly in the middle of fire and will be killed almost instantly. The occasional inability to revive or be revived. Lack of anti air shoulder weapons and just an overall lack of weapons in general. As well as an odd and bizarre way of using and accessing weapon attachments. Another strange feature is using “specialist” instead of the traditional class selection. In the future I’d like to see a TDM introduced as well. As the game can be overwhelming to new users in the larger scale combat modes and much slower paced. In the larger maps you will spend a lot of time time walking long distances to get to objectives because the pre match inability to fill vehicles. Only allowing one player to enter the selected vehicle and dropping the rest of the players on foot. Leaving them to try and find a ride(rare that other player wait and let you in) or walk the entire map to the different objectives. The portal feature is neat. Allowing a nostalgic feel in reliving some of the other BF favorites. Yet again though the lack of weapons, attachments and lack of maps available start to hinder some of this gameplay as well. I would consider myself a Battlefield enthusiast with over 500hrs + logged into BF4 and another 300+ in BF3 not to mention many hours in all the other BF games combined. Overall I’m genuinely disappointed in this game and may unfortunately label this game my least favorite BF game of all time. It’s a huge miss for the community with a game that had/has potential to be another fun Battlefield game. Hopefully this game can pull a 180 with some patches and dlc content. Otherwise this game has officially lost my interest less then 2 days into my experience Expand

Error every time loading the game. Once you load the game finally, you get to watch as each specialist you play as, barely loads in. No hit registration. Barely can revive someone. There's like 6 guns, 2 are good. Everyone ends up using the exact same weapons. Vehicles are op. There's no point to the "specialists" battlefield needs classes. 7 maps. All **** suck. Poorly designed. Large but empty map design. No cover. Barely any destruction. No details 0 effort into making a good map. These **** towers with 1 way to the top?!?!? 10 years ago you could take down the entire building. Now you can't even shoot anyone. I understand that a lot the the problems they can fix with updates. That's not the point. The point is it should have never released in this state. It's so bad they clearly were aware how bad this game is, and refused to fix it. The **** THE HOVERCRAFT. The call in system has ruined battlefield. What ever team has the most vehicles, wins. **** stupid.
    Each vehicle takes like 8 rockets to destroy and it doesn't matter, because of this instant call in system.

    22 weapons?!?!?! I remember battlefield 1, when there was like 20 guns in each class. Remember. Classes. Progression is a joke. Most of the attachments are the exact same stats so there's no point to most of them. The user interface is sad. You can't ping the map? No scoreboard? No zoom on the map. Trying to spawn after dying to a specific zone, and just simply trying to click on b2 is so difficult. Barely no destruction in this game. Yet 10 years ago you could take down skyscrapers. Large towers, destroyed like literally any building you see, you could destroy. Like this **** game. Every single thing about this game is a pathetic excuse of a video game. So disappointing. So frustrated. Never buying another battlefield game because of this.

В игре про военные сражения в недалеком будущем 22 пушки.....это смешно. Есть много разных обвесов, но до Call of Duty очень далеко. За то появились карточки игрока из выше названной игры. Для кого-то это плюс, но лично мне не понравилось. Интерфейс...он сложный, запутанный и лагает. Карты ужасные. Вроде бы выглядят неплохо но только до того момента как начнешь на них играть. Левел дизайн отстой. Приходиться очень и очень много бегать. На одной части карты точки далеко друг от друга на другой одна на другой....Какой гений этим занимался ? Добавили ботов......ботов в Battlefield. Для новичков это как бы неплохо, но лично для меня это огромный минус. Раньше хочешь прокачать оружие - иди играй в онлайн. Учись, становись лучше, а теперь просто пофарми на ботах и все разблочишь. Про то какая игра плохая можно говорить и говорить. Вердикт таков: 0 из 10. Худшая игра от DICE. Играйте в 4/1/V. А Battlefield 2042 место на помойке. Expand

Every explosive that commits suicide to further the cause dies in a quiet an limited area alone. The environment "events" are limited to a weak and sad tornado. This tornado can't hurt much and just spins around without purpose (except to be mildly annoying). When you shoot infantry with a 50 cal mounted gun on a tank that person gets a vigorous massage for a while and can jump and spin to massage all parts of their body until they find cover. Somebody hire all the people back that made battlefield 4 and 2142 and get them to fix this trash please. Expand

    Instead we get a clone of Modern Warfare and a cheap knockoff to boot. Who ever decided the finale product of this game should be fired.
    1. Aiming in this game is horrible. How many bullet does it take from a SMG to kill someone with a smaller gun, all in the while they kill you one shot

    Background - Played every battlefield over the last 14 years.

    What a mess this game is, I am so disappointed. I have shilled Battlefield to my mates for years and now i just feel embarrassed. After Cod dropped the ball I thought this was the year that would take Battlefield to the top. Oh how wrong was i. I was expecting a return to BF4 or BF3 game play but its just rotten. Cons

    Cons
    - Removing classes, seriously this is the main feature of BF games. It promotes to a point teamwork. Its gone and now most people run the same self serving kits. BF4 had it almost perfect, it just needed polished.
    - Small amount of guns, with it being a futuristic game you would think the imagination would run wild and there would be a ton of guns as per BF3 and 4 but nah its just disappointing.
    - 2 steps forward and 20 back. BF 5 introduced fortifications which were fun but you removed anything similar in this game. The points system in BF1 and BF5 gave you points per damage this games seems to have went back to BF3 style and its clunky. I thought with a future settings you would be able to build sam turrets, laser turrets, modern versions of barb wire (Laser Wire?) and sad bags. It was a tiny element of BF5 but it could've been developed to be interesting.
    - Lack of traditional game modes.
    - Portal is a nice idea but and it plays better than the real game but it just feels like a side game
    - Gun play and infantry play is shocking. Bad hit reg, maps are super open you basically run until you die. Most of the times ive just seen vehicles driving about the map running over people and demolishing the buildings they are hiding in just by driving into them.
    - Specialist equipment would've been better as gadgets for specific classes.
    - The big map features in previous games were way better i.e. the levelolution in BF4, The Behemoths in BF1. How can you go back the way?
    - The graphics are glitchy and the game has a ton of bugs.
    -Sound design is horrible, you can hear footsteps from a mile away but vehicles make zero sound when they are next to you.
    - Squads need to be bigger and the squad system in bf 5 was waaaaay better. The fact you need a vehicle call in system just means you made the map primarily for vehicles. Which is fine for battlefield but this games feels like its neglected all other play styles
    - Operators, seriously why dont you just let us pick a skin and let us customise it?
    - This game is clearly designed for next gen, please dont ever release it on last gen if its not going to play well.
    - I actually think BF4, BF1 and Bf5 all looked and played better.
    - Why is the grenade button no a shoulder button by default it sucks!
    - Menus are not clear, buggy and confusion.
    - Very little attachment options and they dont offer much.
    - Vehicles are samey.
    - Game feels like it needs another year.
    -Playing the old maps in portal mode was so nostalgic but the game play makes it unplayable. I used to love Noshar on Conquest or rush but i was left with a bad taste in my mouth. I used to love Caspian on TDM but again the gun play is so poor its just a game of hide and seek until you die.
    - The 'Battle Royal' but not a 'Battle Royal' mode is terrible, just scrap it or just make it a new game mode for the real game i.e. without the battle royal progression. Gun play lets it down.

    They even removed the scoreboard, in a competitive shooter, you cant even see if youre doing any good. Just awful!

    That's just off the top of my head and I'm so angry.

    Seriously, all you needed to do was take the best elements from BF3/4/1 and 5 combine them and update it for a future setting.

    Dont buy this, they are going to have to pull out a stunning first patch to save this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Appalling bad! The game doesn’t included basic features like a scoreboard, very basic things that are essential to any first person shooter game. EA and Dice have priortised micro transactions through their new specialist characters getting rid of class system an essential part of any battlefield game. This has a knock on effect on games as players aren’t incentivised to play a supportive role for their team, another integral part of all battlefield games. Just to rub salt into the wound the game is filled with bugs and needs some serious changes. Considering the game dropped it’s single player mode you would of thought the multiplayer would have enough prioritisation to make sure basic features were included. But don’t worry there’s a non-binary character now in the game so we can forgot about the fact that they charge you £60 for game that isn’t finished in production and doesn’t include essential features (talk about ethics). It’s time to leave this franchise behind after the game developers have forgot to give the bare minimum to their loyal customers instead of their pursuit of prioritising profit maximisation and ruining the battlefield series in the process. Spend your money elsewhere. Expand

The only luck that the PS4 has is that not enough people got their hands on the next gen consoles , so it has more players than on PS5 + PC combined on crossplay.

    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
  2. 40
    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.
