    3/4 of a game. Almost nothing is destructible. Gun spread is trash. 22 guns

    That is a best thing for now.I hope that DICE with next update will bring the best game Mechanics from BF3.And please DICE,if you read this,WE NEED HARDCORE not just in PORTAL.
    I hope after update the metacritic numbers will jump to the sky.

    The game is unfinished. No body knows why the rush to deliver such an unfinished product and charge full AAA price. What a mess.

    The Specialist system is a complete betrayal of what made battlefield great in the past ruining the potential of this game and now it's just become COD2042. You can hardly tell teammate to enemy and on top of that there is no more teamwork as everyone is using what's meta instead of helping with ammo or med packs. Complete betrayal by Dice yet again.

    The fact that you don't even know how many kills or deaths you have at any given time is a completely bizarre choice, and maybe the worst feature in any FPS game... Seriously???

You feel like a caricature of an actual military infantry, all while the enemy team looks like your squad's F****** IDENTICAL twin out there, and the only way to tell um apart is a f****** red or green glowstick, what the f*** DICE... If specialists were kept in the portal mode, it would of been fineeee I guess, but its redundant for the rest of the game. PS5 doesn't get trigger enhancement features like COD. As a battlefield fan, I can't believe I might like COD more than this game... A lil wee pitiful toot of a battlefield game. I wish I didn't buy the digital. Why god?… Expand

    This game has a lot of potential. And the only reason I say that is because every single thing about the game is terrible. This is rock bottom for gaming in the modern day.

EA shamefully just gets worse with every game they release, the same with this franchise, and they clearly put less effort with their games... The only part of the game i enjoyed was the Bad Company 2 maps, because that were genuinely good designed maps and even then they managed to ruin it because of the physics of the new engine, lack of maps being only two and the they lack the UAV.
    I would even go as far to say that the beta was actually A BETTER GAME, yes, A BETA!!! Since it did a better job balancing the weapons, having a simpler interface, and a screen calibration option, and yet IT WAS FREE, and EA charges this game full for 60 BUCKS! One of the most lazy, rush, unpolished, boring and bad designed games i ever seen.    … Expand

    Everything is wrong with the game by launch. It smells unfinished and desperate. Not a respectable game for the once great battlefield franchise.

Not a respectable game for the once great battlefield franchise.

    I’ll start with the game breaking mechanics first: Hitregistration is all over the place. I’ve had point blank shots hit with blood spilling from the character but not getting hits register. You constantly stutter and lag in every game you play in. Grenades and explosions makes you stutter more and not getting the opportunity to move. Assault rifles have bullet spray so heavy they are unusable. Add incredible recoil not realistic to the weapon. Smg is the meta for having somewhat more normal gameplay. You have players getting stuck in lobbies after games where you must quit the game to exit the map. Bugs/things that makes the game difficult to play and enjoy: The whole gameplay is again laggy and buggy. If your new to the Battlefield game you’ll most likely delete the game after hours of dying in ways you can’t really understand how. Vehicles feels heavy and clunky. Planes like the little bird, chopper or jet is like flying a house in battlefield 2042. The once smooth chopper who made you a force in the sky is now made into a rocket shooting no hitting fridge with little to no way of being used for effective gameplay unless you hang around spawns and spamming rockets getting 50% hit registration. The maps are few and massive with little cover for multiple angles and firefights. In a 64 man server you run more between objectives than you attack enemies. It feels more like a running simulator from time to time. The gamechat is broken and not working, I am talking to myself most of the times in chat without anyone responding. The same goes for voice chat. The use of headset is now reduced from a way of having sound advantage on your enemies to hear the footsteps on every teammate instead. Where is the advantage in that? The sounds feels way of and often doesn’t help with finding enemies in the territory your in. The weapons are few and boring. From what I’ve read there is 24 main guns. For a Battlefield game? Wow.. And half of them are mostly useless because of weapon bullet spread. The vehicles are few and slow respawning. The game often kicks you out of lobbies when the game is finished and makes you do the whole searching game mechanics again and again. All the cutscenes and slow intro to the map makes you grow old before you are in the game. For some maps it can go up to 2 minutes+ from you spawn to your first firefight if you are left with running towards objectives. The once illustrious and creative maps with colors and creative map design has been reduced to flat maps with massive buildings with a lot of nothing in between. The once mechanics of exploding buildings and tearing down massive skyscrapers seems to be gone. It seems like they have reduced and removed most of the opportunities to make the maps real war zones. When it comes to the pre-order people have payed 120-150 dollars/Euros/Pounds to be EAs free game testers a whole week before us other people hit the game. Its embarrassing how the developers allows this kind of game hit the stores and make the user have a atrocious experience with supposedly having a life service to fix problems. This game won’t be great for up to a year in the future is my guess from earlier experience for Battlefield. I seriously think the development team should publicly explain how they let a half game get released and publicly say sorry to the whole community for this horrendous game. EA is a billion dollar company and should be the top quality development team we expect it to be. Instead they desperate release this game. Afraid of losing players to Cod Vanguard maybe? A cod franchise who died years ago and is nothing more than a yearly bad game releasing company. This game is just another BFV release catastrophe all over. Remember the devs saying before BFV “If you don’t like what we make, don’t buy it” then having the number of players buying the game drop nearly 50% from what I remember. And this review is from one weekend of gaming this atrocious game. I will not recommend this game for anyone for at least a couple of months and reviews is different.

    When it comes to the game reviewers who calls this game good should quit their job. It’s a blatant lie and looks payed off from EA’s devs to lie on a bad game.

    I was very curious about Battlefield 2042, I really though this had the potential to bring the franchise to the next level. After playing several hours for the last two days in PS4, I have to admit that this is by far the worst Battlefield game I've ever played. The gunplay is the worst thing in my opinion, good luck trying to hit anything with an assault rifle or most of the SMGs, a first person shooter with horrible gun mechanics... The graphics are outrageous, I've played PS3 games with better graphics than this.
    The specialist are a big mistake in my opinion, absolutely nobody cooperates with the rest of the players anymore. The class system from previous games worked great and was a key difference that Battlefield had over COD, why would they get rid of it? Smaller thing, the UI is absolutely horrible also. Everybody talked **** about Battlefield V and I but those games leave this one in the dust every day of the week. Worst part is, I don't think that this game can be saved, the main problems are not bugs that much, the problems are the game fundamentals - and this can not be patched easily. This could kill Battlefield.

    This is the first time in my life that I'm trying to get a refund from the PS Store.    … Expand

    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.
