    Nopats (non patriated forces) were supposed to make this game essentially a PMC warzone, with the inclusion of "hero-shooter mechanics" a la Overwatch, but was pigeonholed into factions of US v RU which is the antithesis of the entire game. This design choice was done deliberately to sell battlepasses and cosmetics, and it did not work.

    Lastly, Battlefield 2042 should have launched in a finished state, not early access. And that is a trend that will continue if you support EA and DICE in the future. This franchise is irreparably damaged and should be avoided.    … Expand

    Portal perfectly modernizes the old parts of the series, BUT there are very few maps, and the HUD is still crap.
    In an attempt to return the sandbox and fan service so beloved to the players in the battlefield 3 & 4, Dice screw up at every point and thereby prove that the studio that made bf 3&4 has long been dead.
    Bf4 is still the best game in the series.    … Expand

Everyone uses the same 3 specialists because they are the only “good” ones, there are Only 4 AR’s & 4 SMG’s lol what is this? a free to play game? everyone was using the same gun on release. Only 3 Secondaries, SMGs winning long range gun fights against ARs. Broken hit detection yet again, for like the 4th Battlefield game release in a row, it’s like Dice doesn’t care to learn from the mistakes. This is exactly what this game deserves & you have no one else to blame but yourself. Trying to turn this franchise into a Call Of Duty copy just to make your pockets happy & look where it got them. Lowest rating everywhere, lowest player-count after release of any BF game, nobody cares to watch it on Twitch & people who are forced to play it because they are sponsored by EA seem miserable. Portal is a shell of what it was advertised to be, Hazard Zone is hilariously bad. I am thankful for one thing tho & thats for helping me realize that pre-ordering a Battlefield game from now on is a huge mistake. Enjoy patching the game for a year until its close to playable, just like you did with BF4, BF1 & BFV.… Expand

I tell myself it will be better but I'm afraid it won't so here's my honest list, no bullsh*t:

    - the game is missing fundamental features and mechanics from previous games. Game modes, movement mechanics, in-game voice chat, destruction of buildings is almost nonexistent.
    - there are elements missing as simple as scoreboard or player profile with KDA and other stats
    - the game has little to offer, only few maps, few weapons
    - you can't manage your squad at all, you're paired with randoms and can't swap squads mid game
    - the game is largely unbalanced with SMGs shredding at any range, ARs being useless, and hovercrafts being invincible both offensively and defensively
    - spawn logic is about as smart as COD's.. So stupid
    - UI is confusing, unnecessarily difficult to operate, not intuitive compared to other BF games
    - the game is packed with cutscenes that force things on you - at the start of the game you autospawn at the base instead of having the option to wait to spawn on your buddy/vehicle
    - the number of transport vehicles is so small that it leaves 80% of the team sprinting 200-300m to the first flag.
    There are many bugs but most of games have them so that will be ironed out over time. Whether they can implement everything that was barbarically shallowed compared to other games ? I doubt it. It is a slap to player's face from EA/DICE for releasing clearly downgraded product (both content and feature wise) and false advertising by showing gameplay spinets which didn't represent the actual state of the game.

    I've been playing since 12th of November early access and I probably will continue to play because game can be fun at times but I can't recommend buying it to anyone.

    To summarize, Battlefield 2042 currently is: SIMPLIFIED, FLATTENED, UNFINISHED, DISRESPECTFUL.

    aim. but rather goes more to the left or right side of the scope.

    8- it seems like they have forgotten the hill battlefield was but rather code up and design this wierd
    and sad shooting game.

    Its a conundrum to say the least, when there is this push and pull on quality when it comes to BF games. I absolutely loved BF1 in every aspect.

Obviously, being a BF fan for so many years, I went against my better judgement. As a gamer, I dont like to wait too long to play something I absolutely love, and so I am part of the problem by buying a game that is mediocre in its time at launch, giving developers no real responsibility in keeping up in shipping poor quality games at release. Will it get better, of course, but how much time will they keep investing into this game to fix it, remains to be seen. We all see how BF5 went. This may very well be the very last BF title I buy, especially if I am having to wait months to finally get the game I paid for.… Expand

    The lack of guns was fine in bad company 2 as progression was still fun but if you go from how this was supposed to be a successor to 4... there is a sprinkle of content. Attachments are not a fun grind to go for. Camos are okay, in fact I dont mind them. But attachments that are miss represented by their descriptions and tedious grinds to progress? yuck
    I dont care if there are 10 different assault rifles and most people only use one of them the joy is in the progression and unlocking something and hey, some days you might want to use something else and not just the "meta"
    Maps are fine but the lack of gamemodes is pathetic. No tdm even? or rush?

    To those who say "just play portal" use a pathetic cop out of an excuse to hide the fact the base game which is what we mostly pay for not a gimmick side mode is extremely lacking and I haven't even touched on the bugs...

    The UI is horrendous just watch a video. Changing specialist and guns should be easy but it just has unnecessary hoops to go through.

    lack of story isn't an issue for me as battlefield started that way.
    lack of voice chat is an issue for some
    launch being crap is a dice standard at this point which is a joke.. I know development is hard but for christ sake youve made that many games now you should know to test them properly...

The weapons feel weak and insignificant, plus it is so buggy you can shoot someone with 15+ rounds before they start to register. Armor needs removed as well as it is not innovation, it is a gimmick that ruins core gameplay. Rocket launchers do not harm players like they should, C5 feels incredibly weak, there is no penalty to aim when jump and slide shooting. It's like this game is BF in name only. It truly wants to be something that caters to a different player base. One that is not tactical and requires very little thinking, and I hate it. I'm not mad, just disappointed at how bad this game is after being so hyped up. I have been a BF player for 16 years, and I have never been so let down like I am with this game.

    1. The game looks truly next gen.
    2. The remastered Portal maps are really fun to play and a great way for newer players to discover classic maps.
    3. There are some genuinely awesome “Only in Battlefield” moments across the base game and Portal.

    Cons

    1. 128 players is completely unnecessary and doesn’t add anything to the game. With 64 players, I have always been genuinely affect the outcome of the game, but with 128 I am just a tadpole in a pond. Just like with the tornadoes, this was obviously added solely for marketing “WOW 128 PLAYERS!”
    2. Dice has traded Battlefield’s iconic destruction for this new player count and it was totally not worth it. Destruction as we have always known it in Battlefield is just non-existent. Who thought this was a good idea? It’s even there in Portal - from games over 10 years old! Destruction is one thing which creates those Battlefield moments!
    3. Specialists. *Sigh* I cannot describe just how much I hate Specialists in BF2042. This is NOT what battlefield is! I don’t want a f*cking hero shooter in my Battlefield game! Those voice likes at the end of each round are by far the most tone-deaf, ridiculous part to the entire game. I don’t f*cking care if you want to sell voice lines or stupid skins to kids at some point - THIS NONSENSE DOES NOT BELONG IN A BATTLEFIELD GAME! It’s not too late - just give us an option to play as grunts and this issue is mostly resolved.
    4. Weapon progression sucks. Your first weapon camo is unlocked after 30 kills and then the next one after 1,000. Then there is barely any difference between scopes (PS if you have to add the plus system to accommodate for such a vast array of ranges, don’t you think that your maps are a bit too big?)
    5. There isn’t enough content. 7 maps and 22 guns for only 2 MODES is shambolic for a Battlefield game.
    6. The map rotation is terrible. Because there is no persistent servers, you can end up playing one or two maps over and over again.
    7. The base game maps are poorly designed. They just aren’t fun to play - the only one I look forward to is breakaway. The others I either dislike or am indifferent to. I either spawn in and get killed immediately, or I run halfway across the map for 5 minutes and get killed immediately as soon as I reach the objective. This won’t be because I lost a firefight - it’ll either be a sniper far in the distance, or a heli will swoop down and annihilate me.
    8. Balance between vehicles and infantry is awful. Vehicles absolutely dominate every single map and it’s almost impossible to destroy a vehicle without a full squad completely dedicated to taking it out.
    9. The UI across the whole game is utterly abysmal. From the options menu to the in game hud to the weapon / class selection. It’s unintuitive and incredibly confusing.
    10. The amount of missing essential features is baffling; scoreboard, progression stats/battle log, no persistent lobbies, no class system, no diving while swimming, no naval vehicles, can’t spawn in passenger seat at round start, no additional points (headshots, assist, vehicle damage, squad wipe, multi kill etc), no squad points call ins for squad leader, no infantry-only maps. The actual list of missing features is actually about 20x longer than this - these are just the most annoying ones.

    Conclusion

    I heard that Specialists are a stepping stone for EA to turn BF into a hero shooter. For the love of god - if you want to do this then just MAKE A NEW IP! Don’t ruin a beloved franchise that millions of people have loved for decades!

    Whoever has been in charge of the direction of Battlefield during the development of BF2042 clearly doesn’t even understand what the game is. They have no respect for its history or the core fan base who have made the franchise what it is today.

    This game is an insult. Conceptualised and executed by people who have no idea what Battlefield is, and who want to turn it into a god damned hero shooter. This is the last straw. Dice / EA - fix this game and don’t you dare give us a full blown Battlefield hero shooter or I’m out.    … Expand

The destruction sometimes is good sometimes its bad the destruction needs a lot of improvement because the game is super buggy you can hit a building with an airplane you will bounce off instead of crashing no collision sometimes i feel like the bullets are passing true people instead of hitting them because your shooting someone 100 times in the head he is still alive and kills you the game is extremely buggy and it should have been delayed beause it needed more development time the game is a Natural disaster by itself but i feel like the game should have more Natural Disasters as well not only Tornados and sand Storms But add to this game more Natural Disasters like Hurricanes and on the Ice map Avalanches on the Sea map Gigantic Tsunamis and also Earthquakes make a Volcanic island map add Volcanic eruptions the graphics on PS5 are good but there is still more to be desired physics can be good or bad like for example water doesnt have great physics water tessellation physics could use improvement there is not enough movement in water and it still feels like there is a thin top lair on top of it without much movement simulation other graphics lod tessellation anisotropic filtering vegetation fire explosions is good but the snow could have used more work anyway it looks like a game made in 2021 the gunplay could definitley use improvement because it feels like bullets have no collision with the enemy player and even airplanes sometimes have no collision with buildings on the sand map. the performance runs well on PS5 no stutter judder no frame pacing i feel like PS5 and XSX graphics would look even better if they have another mode where Ray Tracing Ambient Occlusion is added which only the PC has and add Ray Traced Reflections on top of that which would benefit the game design and artstyle a lot also a 120fps as a seperate mode for consoles would be great this is a fast paced fps shooter and consoles will benefit from it. i am glad FOV slider was added.. Battlefield V was a buggy mess and this game is another buggy mess they never learn. i am gonna get into the more negative stuff the ambient sounds has been decreased from other battlefield games the sound is horrible its so quiet my TV is turned up to a 100 and the sound is still quiet we need a better louder sound and 3d audio needs improvement for the 3d pulse headset of PS5 so both TV and headset audio is to quiet and needs improvement on all platforms there is no scoreboard to see our kills there is no way to optimize both horizontal and vertical R right stick sensitivity which was in the beta of this game i dont know why you thought it was a good idea to remove it fix your **** servers. the game is crashign a lot. the snow graphics could have used a more deep thick tessellated snow instead of looking like a top lair of thin icy snow no score board no stats page no scoring system no server browser players do not carry over to next match lobby disbans no real class system the specialists most of them suck you asked 110$ for this unfiished **** no factions no friendly enemy distinctions everybody is shooting at the teammates its hard to recognize who is an enemy and who is from your team by the time you see that someone is red your already dead removal from previous games of movement mechanics and animations game needs overwall movement weapon animations no squab spawn screen descreased weapon variety there is cearly not enough weapon variety cannot take health / ammo from players carrying health / ammo crates no medic nearby indicator while down everybody passes me and doesnt revive me cannot mark downed teammate for reviving cannot change the zoom of the minimap tactical sprint is pointless lack of overall cohesion of gamepaly elements lack of match ending music vechile customization is lacking you can't edit your main lodouts in the main menu only in game in game voice chat should be in the game and chat with the enemy. The Dualsense features adaptive triggers haptic feedback and 3d audio is so lackluster all of this has to be patched fixed improved. vechile power needs to be reduced zoom on the map needs to be added so we can fcking spawn god damn scoreboard is needed make five player squads make the user interface good so its easy to get in and out of games smgs lasers are overpowered two guns aloowed in a certain specialist are you kidding me take the specialists put them in hazard zone where they fcking belong give us back our fcking classes DICE EA You Done fcked it up FIX THIS SHIATE NOW !… Expand

I'm having fun playing it, but I feel guilty since I know that by buying this, I'm directly encouraging companies like EA to continue to rip people off by delivering unfinished games.

    Below you'll find a list of pluses and minuses which you should consider before buying this game:

    + the music (probably thr only aspect of the game which actually impressed me)
    + plenty of fun ("only in Battlefield" moments)
    + good looking maps and biomes
    + decent performance on the PS5
    + most maps seem to be well balanced + the new mode (Hazard Zone) can be quite intense
    + Battlefield Portal has potential + loving the "plus" menu (for switching out attachments on the go)
    + vehicles can be quite fun
    + it's futuristic, yet familiar

    - missing squad and competitive features (no scoreboard, no voice chat, no squad rewards for playing together, no demote system for inactive squad leaders)
    - operators, abilities, third-person view and cosmetics (battlefield is slowly becoming a fortnite-warzone knockoff)
    - no TDM/Free-for-all modes outside portal
    - only a few guns in the game (and they are unbalanced: currently an SMG outperforms all ARs at mid range; shotguns are useless)
    - too many abilities and gadgets focused on wall hacking
    - animations look unpolished
    - no single-player campaign
    - the acting is bad, the characters behave like teenagers, not soldiers
    - no immersion, no "large scale battle" atmosphere
    - very basic customization
    - the UI can be quite cluttered at times
    - visual bugs (too many to list here)
    - unbalanced vehicles
    - some maps feel a bit too empty

    The honest truth is that it really feels unfinished and poorly planned out. Seems like everyone in the development team brought ideas to the table, and instead of trying to find a way to make it work with their vision, they just added all half baked ideas. I think the game is serviceable, but I think it’s going to take another year or two of patches, including with many ideas just completely being scrapped. There is a lot to comment on what is not right with the game. I think the overarching flaw is that 64 vs 64 doesn’t work with the way the game is designed right now. It is way too chaotic, and truthfully just feels like a massive scale Call of Duty without and real tactics. Part of that is due to the poor level design and poor weapon balance - it is way too easy to hit enemies from far away. So at any given point in the game, you are in the crosshairs of multiple enemies, and you have no way to strategically approach any battles as there are tons of open areas without cover. The class system is just confusing and poorly balanced, they are trying to appease way too many people - hero shooter fans, Call of Duty fans, Battlefield fans, Fortnite fans, it’s bad. That causes the game to lack any personality or direction. They just literally added everything into the mix. The menus are so convoluted as well, it took me way too long to learn how to navigate it, and yet still I don’t know where things are. A lot of other just odd decisions, such as hiding your kills and deaths? I understand trying to push for teamwork, but it’s hard to force teamwork when the 64 vs 64 feels like a free for all that barely rewards proper teamwork or strategy because it’s so chaotic.

    Like I said, it’s serviceable, but it needs so much work. To be fair, Battlefield V launched in a really awful state and I was not enjoying it at all. I went back and started playing it again a few months back, and it’s pretty decent now. As of now, this game isn’t even worth the $10 I paid.    … Expand

The real problem is that the game is not finished, and that's something that will take awhile to finish, which is why I am giving it such a low score.

    With launch we get All-Out-Warfare, Hazard Zone, and Portal.

    All-Out-Warfare gives us two game modes, Conquest and Breakthrough. Conquest, the maps are too big, empty, and lack any uniqueness. Whenever a battle is taking place at a capture point, there is nothing about that part of the map that makes the battle unique. Battlefield 3, had more uniqueness and variety in capture points on that map that made each battle at each part of the map more interesting. Breakthrough, vehicles dominate the experience.

    Hazard Zone wants to be a battle-royale, but plays similar to a Vigor. The problem is that there is no real direction on onboarding in the experience. Whenever I am going in, the players I am playing with have no idea what to do or where to go. It's not clear on the objective. It feels half-baked and an afterthought.

    Portal is actually not a bad concept, but it feels like older Battlefield games were shoehorned into this new engine. When I play Portal, I am playing Battlefield 2042 with a three different skins. Again, incomplete.

    As a Product Manager, I would prefer that EA would have delayed the game more to deliver on a more-finished product. I also don't feel as if they did customer research to determine what this user base wanted. Looking at other reviews, following social channels, it seems that the community really wanted the Battlefield V gunplay/engine with a newer more modern setting/guns/vehicles, etc. I mean, simple Product activities like prioritizing features and functionality over core gameplay. Why in the world do we have a Tornado, but don't have more than like six building models and layouts?

    EA, do your due diligence. This is a Product org failure, not the engineers, not designers, not the dev-ops team, not marketing... The Product org. See you guys in about a year when the game is finished.    … Expand

Hit Registration is all over the place every other gun fight seems inconsistent, One moment You are slaying out and then the next you can’t hit nothing to save your life. PP-29 and DMRs are busted, can’t revive certain players at times. Also man who the hell didn’t put in the Feature to let the a down player know that there is a medic nearby and not to end himself so he can be picked up. Seems like dice was off the rocker with this one. No voice chat so you can’t accurately direct your team in crunch moments for example, team gets comfortable with the lead and you have to stop taking away from whatever roll you play to type C1 C2 D1 D2 B1 hell E1 and F1 is been taken by the enemy by time you write all that you get met with the “shut up kid” you trash” “ooooooof get slapped with deez ****” “ttv w.e the hell” also the 3 rating is being Generous because I know they are going to further update the game but at the moment this is not it chief. Barely any guns, cap on the anti cheat, graphics looking dookie water, and the Specialists are cringe with their end game one-liners. Whoever views this and hates on me come on I’m trying to you save from not wasting money and making my mistake, don’t be sus and defend a brand that only cares about them green backs.

    Anyway, the game seems fun, and maybe with some future, but it's not there yet and definitely not worthy of a 60 euros price tag.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game really fails to live up to the hype that it got. In a nutshell, this game was not worth the $100 I paid for it. It is more of a $30 game at best and here's why:

    -The game has no campaign. I could look past this if the multiplayer had more maps and game modes but unfortunately the few game modes aren't terribly engaging.
    -Basic Battlefield staples are missing such as building destruction, classes, squad play, and bullet drop. This feels more like Call of Duty than Battlefield and it is a terrible letdown.
    -The new way of customizing the weapons is interesting but I think was not well executed. It is clunky and honestly more problematic than it is worth. Again, it undermines the squad strategy play.
    -There's few maps and weapons and the weapons are terribly unbalanced. The assault rifles recoil too much and are unusable at longer ranges. The SMG's by comparison are much more effective than they should be.
    -Marking enemies is almost impossible and you end up marking points on the map instead of the enemy.
    -The game mode most people seem to enjoy is portal where you can play past games. This unfortunately undermines 2042 as a whole because people enjoy the older games instead of the newer game. I'm not sure why that was included when they could have put more time and effort in making 2042 better.
    -Lastly the graphics are terrible. There was so much hype about how much more realistic the graphics were. Honestly even after the game fully buffers, the graphics in Battlefield 1 look better in my opinion.

    The game honestly feels like it was made by the people who were working on Call of Duty. The opening scenes made it seem like they had a good idea for a storyline but it doesn't go anywhere past that scene. There is no direction and ultimately seems like there is no point to it.    … Expand

    The graphics of BF5 and BF1 were more appealing to me. This is one is bland.

    The HUD is the worst I've seen in a game. Blurry, horrible color combinations, and the important stuff is tiny while useless stuff is huge.

    I don't like the idea of not having an easy to access "throw grenade" button and I don't like the idea of weapon attachments being changeable in the middle of combat. Why make it so complex? More options to change during combat don't automatically make the game more fun.

    There's ZERO atmosphere. BF5 and BF1 had some desperation in the atmosphere. This one is like playing paintball.

    2 points because I loved the crossplay (yeah I know people complain about it but I found it fair and nice) and because of how fast the game loads.

    Overall, the worst battlefield I've ever played and a below average FPS game in general.

    I'm trying to decide whether I want to go sell the disc or keep it in case they somehow fix it up in 6 months. But I seriously doubt this is salvageable. Maybe they'll improve the graphics. I bet they will fix the HUD. But it's never going to stop being cringeworthy, and it's never getting atmosphere.

Başlangıçta çok heyecanlanmıştım fakat Dice'ın bu oyun ile birlikte hedef kitlesini tamamen değiştirmesi, oyunun bir Battlefield oyunu oynuyor hissine sahip bile olmaması, bütün heyecanımı hayal kırıklığına çevirdi. Etrafımda gerçekten oyuna bayılan bir kişiye de rastlamadım. İlk olarak; Specialists kesinlikle Bf'a göre bir tercih olmamış. Daha çok oyunu Cod Warzone'laştırmış. Bu tarz operatörler warzone ve rainbow six için daha uygun diye düşünüyorum. Freeload sistemi rezaleti büyük bir sorun. Deployable shield kullanan Sniper'lar Bf keyfinizi ikiye katlıyor.. Genellikle herkesi RPG kullanmaya iten bir sistem olduğundan artık Class'ların hiç bir manası kalmıyor. Mermi ya da medic kullanan bir kişiye denk gelirseniz teşekkür edin çünkü oldukça az göreceksiniz. Freeloadout hem ekipmanları hem de her türlü silahı kullanma imkanı sunduğundan artık rakibin class'ının ne olduğunu bile tahmin edemiyorsunuz. Eskiden rakip sniper bize ateş ettiğinde bir şekilde üzerine baskı kurarak ona yaklaşmaya ve onu etkisiz hale nasıl getirebileceğimiz konusunda stratejiler kurardık fakat şimdi artık sniper kullanan bir oyuncu gördüğünüzde, ona ulaşmak istediğinizde o bir "Assault" olduğu için Grapling Hook ile kaçabilecek ya da "Support" ise sizi, size ateş eden bir turret karşılayacak. Kısacası buna benzer bir türlü rezalet senaryolarla karşılaşmaya hazır olun çünkü çoğunlukla bunları yaşayacaksınız. Şimdilik deployable shield kullanan Sniper'lar çoğunlukta :D
    Hikaye modu bulunmuyor. Girer girmez oyun sizi ekstra sıkıcı The division vari bir intro karşılıyor sadece. Botların bana mermi atmasını dilerdim fakat o da olmadı.. Mermisiz bir şekilde tamamladım tutorialı.

    Battlefield 1 gibi muazzam bir işten sonra oyuna hikaye eklemeyip, yeni jenerasyon bir oynanış da sunmakları için EA bu oyun için 70$ ya da 80€ ödemenizi istiyor. Bu da yetmezmiş gibi bir de Season Pass almanız şart bazı Portal haritalarını oynayabilmeniz için. Bu tarz para göz firmaları desteklemeyin. PS5 kullanıcıları için dualsense özellikleri oyuna eklenmemiş. İnsan bir adaptive trigger ekler yahu ne hakla PS5 versiyonu diye satıyorsunuz? Zaten gram vuruş hissi yok en azından belki adaptive trigger bir tık bunu sağlayabilirdi. Bir tık diyorum çünkü bu konuda oyun çok kötü. Son iki Cod oyunlarında dualsense özellikleri çok güzel bir şekilde kullanılmış, hayranı olmasam bile serinin bu konuda adamlara helal olsun derim. Görsel olarak oyun asla tatmin etmiyor, yeni nesil bir oyun değil. Orbiral haritasında roketin fırlatılması, ara sıra hortumun gelip dolaşması, kum fırtınası çıkmasına uğraştığınız emeği oturup biraz oyunun ana hatları üzerinde çalışsaydınız.. Optimizasyon & lag sorunları çok fazla. Savaş atmosferi neredeyse hiç yok. Haritalar o kadar büyük ki oyunda yaptığınız tek şey koşmak olacak. Death Stranding o kadar eleştirildi walking simulator diye madem öyle al bu oyun da running simulator.. Seneler önce çıkan BF 1'in çok daha iyi bir savaş atmosferi olduğu gibi grafiksel olarak da oldukça etkileyiciydi, kaplamaları dinamik hava değişimi çok güzeldi. BF1 bu konuda 2042'den halen çok iyi. BF1'i 7.1 kulaklıkla oynarken, o silahları kullanırken, sağda solda bitmek bilmeyen patlamalar olup duruyorken inanılmaz heyecanlanmıştım oynarken halen daha oynanır. Her silahın kendine özel tepkimesi, sesi ve vuruş hissi vardı. Bu oyunda nedense yapay sesler kullanılmış. Bu sebepten ötürü, silahların neredeyse hiç sekmemesi(warzone a özenilmiş burada ve time to kill süresinde de) vuruş hissiyatını neredeyse hiç vermiyor. Merak ettiğim bir konu var gerçekten. Siz 3 seneden beri ne yaptınız ? 3 senelik bir ürün bu kadar leş olmamalıydı. 3 senede geliştirilen oyunları da iyi biliyoruz. Sanat eseri gibi oyunlar yapılıyor bu süreçte.
    Tüm bu analizleri bir Bf hayranı olarak yaptım bu arada. Cod oyunlarını pek oynamam tarzım değildir fakat denemişliğim var. 2042'de konsept ve vizyon da kesinlikle bana değil. Ben görev yapmasını, squad&takım oyunu oynamasını, strateji kurmasını seven bir bf oyuncusuyum. Eski oyunları seven bir adamın bu oyunu sevmesinin mümkünatı yok. Çünkü ortada elle tutulur bir BATTLEFIELD oyunu yok. Önceden yenilen takıma destekte bulunurdu oyun. Conquest modunda alınan bayrağın önemi vardı. Takıma tank ya da uçak sağlıyordu ekstra. Oyun çok daha stratejikti. Şimdi ondan öte birşey kalmamış. Bu oyuna 2 puan bile fazla. PS5 üzerinden ön siparişimi iptal ettim. Ne zaman EA Access e gelir belki o zaman açıp bir oynarım. 30-40$ 'a satılması gereken bir oyuna asla 70$ para veremem. Çünkü bunu hak eden bir oyun değil.    … Expand

    Battlefield 2042 is something new, something unexpected and most of all a waste of money.

    What could we expect from the next Battlefield? Many might have been hoping for that next gen improvement with greater graphic fidelity and sound. Some would maybe hope for an evolution in the immersive movement from Battlefield V going to the next level.

    What could we expect from the next Battlefield? Many might have been hoping for that next gen improvement with greater graphic fidelity and sound. Some would maybe hope for an evolution in the immersive movement from Battlefield V going to the next level. Moments like being knocked to the ground from the shockwave of a nearby explosion, or the traversal of the environment reaching for high ledges in the rubble of some blown out building.

    But what did we end up getting?

    None of the above.

    Battlefield 2042 lacks any soul. It takes many steps back on the series previous improvement and adds things no one wanted.

    Maps are too large and have many empty areas. Great if you are looking to run for 5 minutes at the beginning of the match to the objective. No cover, nothing of interest. The maps also feel empty and are devoid of any story of war and or the life that was there before.

    The new specialists seem like they were meant for a battle royale game. Was that what this game was going to be? They just don’t work well in the game and matches devolve into people not waiting to be revived because whose the medic?

    Right now the aiming and bullet spread is really off. Ever wanted to drop into the battlefield and outline the enemy with bullets? Well you can do that in BF2042.

    The sound design doesn’t represent Dice’s best. I have always loved the sound design and putting the War Tapes sound on. This just sounds lacklustre.

    The weapon selection is lacking in the main mode. The promise of a ton of weapons is within portal.

    Portal is cool and could have potential especially if gets greatly expanded. However when the best of your game is playing old maps with new polish, than what does that say about 2042?

    Hazard Zone ain’t that fun and needs many changes and better design to be more interesting. Not to mention it should be the one mode that maybe gets free to play… yes call of duties warzone has its issues but that game has a ton of players. Hazard zone is looking to be BFV’s battle royale mode that was DOA.

    I can’t recommend this game. It’s disappointing and shouldn’t be released like an early access game. People who love these games will give it a pass because yes there can be fun to had. But letting Dice rest on what came before shouldn’t be allowed it’s not good for the consumer.

    We need someone new to innovate. A lot of these new games are broken messes at launch and aren’t offering any real innovation and excitement. We can’t all just blame the pandemic, these games take years and these poor decisions didn’t happen in the last year and a half. Save your money and support better games that respect you and give you something new. We expected something new and exciting and got well something new, boring and broken.    … Expand

    Maps look amazing but aside from that this game is a travesty and quite honestly an insult to the whole shooter genre. So many execs thinking they had bright ideas by making the game more like cod, why have soldiers with specialized purposes for team play when we can just make specialists like every other game out right now. Why make a good game mode or any game mode for that matter whenMaps look amazing but aside from that this game is a travesty and quite honestly an insult to the whole shooter genre.

Why make a good game mode or any game mode for that matter when we can just give the tools to the community to do it for us. Get rid of the scoreboard because if players knew how bad they were doing they might not play the game and therefore they won’t buy our future garbage skins we try to force feed down their throats. Don’t add chat someone might get their feelings hurt and we can have that that’s not profitable (says someone who bowls nothing about gaming and it’s community), no sir we don’t want a community we want mindless drones who don’t think and just buy our quick and easy digital skins. Why make a good game when you can make a mediocre one and milk the idiots that play it?

    Ask yourself, why do you want to play this game? Because I highly recommend you don’t, maybe then game devs will realize we don’t like the crap they sell.    … Expand

    Terrible, no campaign, no voice chat, not even enough place to move since there are 1000 vehicles… abysmal

    A major drop in quality. Has none of the soul or emotion usually associated with a BF game. This feels like a cartoon battle royal clone aimed at 7-12 year olds who want to spend mums cash on player skins.

    The new part of Call of Duty: Battlefield 2042 is very bad...
    From the classic series, only a small piece remains - this is Portal.

    While the repetition and lack of content cooled my enthusiasm a bit, I am excited to see where DICE can take Battlefield 2042 from here — if current industry trends hold, I’m confident this will be a strong addition to my already-full shooter rotation after a few months of additions and updates.

    Despite a traditionally rocky launch, the latest Battlefield proves itself one of the best in the series. Tell Edwin Starr we found out what war is good for. [Issue#9, p.72]

    As nostalgic joys go, though, it's a damning one. [Issue#367, p.106]
