    But I really think they can make something out of this I mean it's a little sad to see story mode go n I would even pay a little more just so I could play it but if this is the way they wanna go I'm excited, at least they are trying to do something new and they are innovating while I think the way the game is now is a little rough around the edges but if they improve it just a little bit(I wish there was co op vs AI Maybe there is but I can't find it) but overall there are a few glitches here and there but that's to be expected with a brand New game but I think it's amazing so far    … Expand

    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.

Ui is terrible. 30% of the time my load outs are invisible and i can’t choose what I want. When selecting spawn points it will act as if it understands what I selected but then takes me halfway across the map to a location i didn’t want causing me to off myself because i’d rather do that than run for a couple kilometers. (I’d almost rather off myself than play this game tbh). There’s no fighting or racing towards jets and helis anymore. Now you just spawn in one while it’s already flying. I **** you guys/gals not. They put every battlefield experience in the trailer of this game to try and sell you it, and left everything that makes it a battlefield game out of it when you play it. Hands down, never trusting EA or Dice for **** again. You think I would have learned after the previous games they took advantage of for money. But nope.

    - 128 players

    CONS:

    - Worst launch of any Battlefield game. Yes, I have played every Battlefield game on launch. No, the "Battlefield X launch was worse" excuse that people are parroting is false.

    - If playing on PS5, you are FORCED to play with PC keyboard and mouse and cannot specify only Xbox players. There is no Kb/m support for consoles.

    - No server browser. The only explanation for this is so they can implement skill-based matchmaking like Call of Duty.

    - Can't pick what squad to join. DICE decided it would be better to randomly pick one for you.

    - Can't see other people's kills or deaths, because DICE decided that would hurt their feelings.

    - Must watch multiple cutscenes before and after each game so people can show off their microtransactions

    - Gunplay is a severe downgrade from Battlefield V

    - Hit reg is atrocious, you will have the reticule on a person, shoot, and still miss.

    - Random bullet spread, so bullets don't go where the reticule is (downgrade from BFV)

    - Graphics are poor compared to previous Battlefield games

    - 3rd person knifing animations so people can show off their microtransactions

    - Only 2 guns for every gun type, so DICE can milk you for money by putting more in the season pass

    - UI is atrocious. Player icon is hard to see in the map. 'ON' and 'OFF' buttons are confusing.

    - Time to kill is much higher.

    - People can equip extra armor now, so TTK will be even higher

    - There are no icons for requesting medic/ammo/support so squad play is worse.

    - Lack of destruction compared to previous Battlefield games.

    - Textures often times don't load so you get PS1 quality textures.

    - Sound quality is subpar compared to Battlefield 1.

    - Footsteps sounds are unreliable.

    - The game feels clunky and slow to play. With rubberbanding too.    … Expand

    The game engine is crap, the failed BFV looks better, and works better. The character animations looks a free2play game, the sounds ambience is gone.
    Maps are clean and dont feel like a war. I refund the game. They killed Battlefield with this warzone and apex copy

We’re long enough suffering through this terrible lockdown. Having a nice Christmas dinner with your family and loved ones, going somewhere, saving up for your graduate school.

    This feels like a cheap Battlefield game knockoff, with none of the features that made previous Battlefield titles great:
    - No scoreboard
    - Having bots in a multiplayer game
    - No scoreboard
    - Awful gunplay
    - Auto-regenerating health
    - No classes

    The list just goes on. This is not a Battlefield game.

    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

    Bullet spread does NOT follow gun aim during recoil, but rather it is random and comically extreme, with bullets going everywhere but where the gun is actually pointed. Note that this is not a player aiming skill issue, the issue is that bullets are randomly shot off in directions other than where the gun is actually pointing, irrespective of how good your aim is. Although it is true that some deviation is expected, even for perfect aim in real life shooting, the amount of deviation in BF2042 bullet spread is comically extreme. You've heard of gun accuracy being measured in MOA or sub-MOA? BF2042 gives you gun accuracy in the tens of degrees!!! It is unusably broken to the point where player aim doesn't even factor into the equation.

    Lobby disbands after each match and goes back into searching for a lobby, so you don't get to play with the same people. Is this because EA cheaped out on server capacities and thus this gives everyone a fairer share of play vs waiting to play? As opposed to letting everyone play, with little waiting time, if they'd had enough servers with enough capacity?

    Getting spawned into the death animation is so much fun!

    Vehicles are being used to spawn trap kill, because of poor map design.

    No campaign, to focus on multiplayer and THIS is what we get!?!?!?

I know that this is first week and ofc that there are gonna be some problems, but they took some soul basics from this franchise and i'm not sure if they gonna fix it. This is FPS game and you don't have scoreboard and stat, like what, this is too extreme for me. There is just too much small things that missing from previous games that were so essential (choosing squads too).

    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.

    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.
