    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

    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.

    I would recommend EA/DICE completely gut the entire development teams and start from scratch.    … Expand

    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.

    Flat boring maps.

    Control remapping does not work.

    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!?!?!?

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!

    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.
