    Pros
    - experimenting with new mechanics and trying new ideas
    - Portal has great potential
    - Verticality

    Cons
    - it is anti-competitive and anti-squad / team play
    - mostly copies the wrong stuff from other games like COD
    - very poorly optimised, ugly, buggy
    - very light on content
    - the design and personality of the heroes are cringy

    Larger Maps - Who asked for this?
    120 Players - Again, who was this for?
    Operations - Copy Rainbow 6 Siege
    Movement - Copy Call of Duty
    Gunplay - Pfff, who cares!?!

    Utter Garbage.

    I'm not the biggest FPS fan, but this game really disappointed me. The graphics and animations are awful. The maps are big and lifeless. Big bland surfaces. The player animations are just horrible. Guns feel crap. I can't believe this is a triple AAA title.

    1) Too many bugs
    2) There is no server browser and you can't play TDM on small maps in infantry only mode
    3) Maps are too huge, too boring, too stupid - in most cases it is like a skyscraper and empty field around 4) Portal fan to play but this mode is dead without progression 5) Hazard zone was born as a dead mode, totally useless 6) A lot of imbalance things like hover, long-range    1) Too many bugs

    Bugs are the least of it. Shot spread or bloom or whatever you call it is broke. Many things have been stripped out of the game that were in past titles. Destruction is basic and not what it should be.the game is. A mess

    What a joke. With so many games to look back on for ideas, they somehow managed to release something that ruins every aspect of the franchise. NEVER play this, it's an utter waste of time.

    Wow. I knew the franchise was in big trouble after Battlefield V but man oh man I didn't think they could mess this one up after they learned what works and what doesn't. Where do I begin?
    There are no classes. That's right, you know get Apex legends style specialists with abilities such as turrets, shields etc. For those of you saying so what, change is good. There are no weapons.

    There are no classes. That's right, you know get Apex legends style specialists with abilities such as turrets, shields etc. For those of you saying so what, change is good. There are no weapons. I mean there's about 12 but you have to play the game for days to make any meaningful progression. So you are stuck with the base M5 for hours and hours with no alternative. Graphically on ps4, it looks like cyberpunk 2077, a blurry hazey mess, even with motion blur and all the camera tricks turned off. Online performance is good, meaning when you get into a server it is not laggy like bf4 was at launch. The nail in the coffin GAME MODES ARE GONE. There are 3 conquest-based game modes now. To play what everyone who's ever played a battlefield game remembers as battlefield you have to use a gimmicky weird app/ menu on the screen called "Portal". Where you can find player created games which somewhat bring back the formula that worked. Menu upon menus upon menus, disgusting UI, easily the worst UI of any app or video game I have ever played. Gone is the simple customization and now you are met with FORTNITE/ apex style of aesthetic character modification. Want to change the attachment on your guns ? oh you have to do that during the match at the very start or else you will get fragged, your loadouts also RESET every game you play.

    Congratulations dice, your greed ruined your brain child. You had a good thing going, even after BF V I had faith you could return your roots (BFBC1-2, BF3-4) but you had to rush this garbage to market. This is nowhere near the level of polish that a 80 dollar AAA title should have. It seems like there were too many cooks in the kitchen with this one and whoever was in charge of UI needs to be jailed. Bring back classes, bring back classic game modes without the "portal" and allow players to make their own game modes without using a PC. This whole game is a mess, please don't buy this. I bought it on sale for 60 bucks tax in and I feel like I have better off burning my money than contributing the the cancer that is EA Dice.    … Expand

    Choppy, slow loading, bullets that don’t hit, specialists Update: 10/03/22. Came back to give it another try. No new snipers or LMGs, no new destructible environment, 15 min wait times to get into games, horrible graphics at start of game still, BOTS are main component in breakthrough, vehicles still drive like low gravity RC cars…just mad all over again.

    the game is 3 steps back from Battlefield 4 which is +5 years old. the reason for this is poor decision-making from dice, greed and wrong priorities. no, i dont care about the gender of sundance.

    Анимация скудная, физика людей, машин полный отстой (она как в Halo 1), шутерная составляющая скатилась до уровня картонных автоматиков! Карты пустые. Я даже подумал, что это какая то фишка делающая картинку на PS4 схожей с PS2, даже искал кнопку переключения! Но нет, игра просто выглядет ужасно.
    Я даже не знаю, для кого это делалось.
    Ещё, когда после получаса пулялок, я сносил игру со своей PS4, то увидел, что весит игра всего 58 Гб!
    Хороший Battlefield сегодня не может весить 58 Гб!
    Что самое обидное, я полагаю DICE и Electronic Arts намереваются доить эту безрогую козу десятилетие, как Bethesda свой Fallout 76!
    Обидно за серию. Если кто хочет новый и настоящий Battlefield, эту хрень не качайте и вообще не поддерживайте. Иначе ждать нам Battlefield 6 не дождаться!

    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.

    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.
