    1) Poor registration of hits, I didn't really understand how to shoot in this game, perhaps there is an element of randomness in the shooting.
    2) There is no server list, you are forced to play on the maps on which you were thrown. In portal you can join an almost finished game, and in the main all-out warfare mode you sometimes wait for the server to fill up.

    2) There is no server list, you are forced to play on the maps on which you were thrown. In portal you can join an almost finished game, and in the main all-out warfare mode you sometimes wait for the server to fill up.
    3) There is no table to view the kills / deaths / ping of other players, at best you can calculate your KD (you can see the kills / help / captures of the players of your squad, or the general statistics of another squad, i.e. competitiveness is removed).
    4) I am glad that in all modes there is a store tab, otherwise I was afraid not to find it (just kidding).
    5) Huge TTK, it is impossible to shoot two people, they overwhelm the mass.
    6) Too long pumping, you need to kill 360 people in order to open all the modules for weapons, moreover, it became more difficult to kill people due to the large mode, earlier it was possible to fill in the superiority and clash of teams. The task for the skill skin (red-black skin) is unrealistic, you need to kill 1200 people with grenades or treat 2400 people with a Falki pistol.
    7) Huge maps, you need to run 1 km to get to another point (in the next sector)
    8) There is no pumping on the servers in the portal, the level is pumped only in the recommended section.
    1) Плохая регистрация попаданий, не особо понял, как стрелять в этой игре, возможно в стрельбе присутствует элемент случайности.
    2) Нет списка серверов, ты вынужден играть на картах, на которые тебя закинули. В portal можешь присоединиться к почти законченной игре, а в основном режиме all-out warfare иногда ждешь, когда заполнится сервер.
    3) Нет таблицы чтобы посмотреть убийства/смерти/пинг других игроков, в лучшем случае можешь посчитать свое KD (можно посмотреть убийства/помощи/захваты игроков своего отряда, либо общую статистику другого отряда, т.е. убрана соревновательность).
    4) Радует, что во всех режимах есть вкладка магазин, а то боялся не найти (шутка).
    5) Огромный TTK, невозможно перестрелять двух человек, они перелавливают массой.
    6) Слишком долгая прокачка, нужно убить 360 человек, чтобы отрыть все модули на оружие, притом убивать людей стало сложнее из-за большого режима, раньше можно было набить в превосходстве и схватке команд. Задание на скин мастерства (красно-черный скин) выполнить нереально, нужно убить 1200 человек с гранат или полечить 2400 человек с пистолета Фальки.
    7) Огромные карты, нужно бежать 1 км, чтобы добраться до другой точки (в следующем секторе)
    8) Отсутствует прокачка на серверах в portal, прокачивается уровень только в разделе рекомендуемое.    … Expand

    This has got to be one of the most disappointing Battlefield games to date.

    Coming from a long time series fan

    Most of the problems many people are complaining about are fair (horrible UI, bullet bloom, no scoreboard, etc) but these will inevitably be ironed out through patches. The cardboard like cartoon graphics are quite unpleasant after how beautiful BFV was and the movement feels very arcade/cod like which is uncomfortable seeing as the movement in cod is    Coming from a long time series fan

    Battlefield 2042 definitely had one of the worst realeases since the beginning of the pandemic. However yet it is a game that has been developed partly in home-office which all players should perceive.

    Regardless, this does not justify the state of the game right-now. BF2042 has plenty - and I mean many, many: bugs, glitches, game-design mistakes or missing features.

    Regardless, this does not justify the state of the game right-now. BF2042 has plenty - and I mean many, many: bugs, glitches, game-design mistakes or missing features.
    There is no scoreboard, no ability to join your friends if they are in a full party (yes you heard right, you cant join, not even if there is a space in the game, if your friends Squad is full) which results in you being abled to only play with 3 friends, expect you want to play Portal only with them.
    Portal is the next failure Battlefield 2042 has to offer. No weapon progression at all, sometimes really strange and inconsistent XP-rewards, missing features and many bugs (just like in All-Out-Warfare and Hazard Zone) on own Servers to. + i would like to add the note that you CANT create a paid server that stays inifite. Servers are temporarily and only stay as long as there is atleast one player on it. If you suppose to think thats all then let me tell you that there are even bigger issues in this game.
    Hit registartion isn't working as it should; Loadouts (on Vehicles or your own created loadouts) get resetted; They have a problem with ,,bloom" which leads to shots spraying randomly in some directions and not in the direction where your crosshair is placed; Maps feel underdeveloped, empty and unfun to play; ever wanted to run miles on a Map, since there are not many vehicles? Then you should try Hourglass. Running 2 Minutes from point B to A is fun, espically if you die through random helicopters in the mean time. You could say why don't you play infanterist mode then, well... because there is non and thats not the only feature that is missing, everybody thought would be in the game since EA and DICE promised us to give us a Battlefield "like we all know"

    That Hazard-Zone does not come in to short let me discribe this try on a "mini battle royale" liike game mode. "Hazard-Zone" feels like a confusing, short, slaughtery game mode which could have been a competitor to games like "Escape from Tarkov" or "Vigor" (atleast thats what players expected) yet it is a huge let-down and does not make fun at all. Maybe players expected to much...

    To be fair Battlefield 2042 isn't just all bad. Particularly with friends you can have a good, much laughing (even if it is to blame on the bugs most of the times.
    There are parts of the game that make fun and the devs try to solve the problems and give players the promised content. The Day-1 patch series is a great start. Update #1 and #2 already tweaked some balancing issues and gamebreaking bugs. Assault Rifles feel more consistent and are already fun to play now.
    For update #3 I risk to predict it to make the game much better. They have a lot of change in line, huge bug fixes, huge balance changes and according to leaks even new content such as weapons or "maps"
    (I am not sure on the truth of this)

    From here on BF2042 can only get better and it still has the chance to be a nearly perfect game. They need long-term service, good Seaons, starting from January, nice contents and they need to listen to their community. They are taking a good step on that with talking to the community on Twitter a lot which is indeed very delightful.
    Wait until the first major content update in one week and afterwards decide to rather buy the game or not.
    Yet it can make fun but the proportion of funny and frustratiing moments is around 40 / 60 which is sad for a Battlefield game.

    I have a feeling on this one, I think it can be somthing marvelous, something like Battlefield 4, Battlefield 4 which had a devasting release too and today is considered as one of the greatest games of the franchise!

    The potential is there. Developers need to take it and they will, I think they will show us with the December update that they are willing to give us a great game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a massive Battlefield fan but I agree with some of the comments this game feels like the lacklustre of the series I was really disappointed that PS5 players can't play PS4 users there's definitely alot of bugs but most can be fixed via patches but I'm really disappointed in the amount of weapons and game modes… Expand

    me gustta bastante y tiene mucho potencial pero el problema que le veo es que se han olvidado del juego y lo estan dejando con muy poco contenido ea y tambien la falta de un modo campaña pues yo creo que si lo hacen gratis deberian hacer un modo campaña para los que hemos pagado

    I honestly don’t think it is as bad as everyone is saying. Ye the game has a few bugs. It’s probably unfinished and shows some issues. However where all of u see trash, I see room for improvement. The game itself is not the bad. I like the concept and what the game is meant to be. And the gameplay isn’t bad at all. EA just needs to get some work done and the game can become pretty decent.I honestly don’t think it is as bad as everyone is saying. Ye the game has a few bugs.

    I was never an avid Battlefield player. I started my experience with the franchise from Battlefield V, and I really enjoyed it. I believed that the BF 2042 would be superior to the BFV, which is not true. Even though it's not the best, the BF 2042 is fun and I'm a little addicted. However, he could be much better.

    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.
