    That said, the team behind the game from what I have seen is ignoring user input with unwanted things, and there are pretty bad connection issues I have encountered several times despite a perfectly working network connection. The game is still rough around the edges, but they have certainly improved the game and it has a lot of potential if they do not give up on it. Hope to see more people hop on, and for those who left to hop back on!    … Expand

Ive been playing BF since bad company 2 and I think this has the potential to be one of (emphasis on one of) my favourites - granted I missed BF4 due to the buggy launch and regret it! Theres great new ideas here and the detail and world building is something else.
    My first couple of hours with the game, I did find a little frustrating - but I was trying to play with the BFV meta of rushing with SMGS, but using a DMR and Falck you can start to get used to the scale without dying too often, using zip lines and call in hovercrafts you can get around the massive maps very quickly. Another note - the destruction isn't all that prevalent here, im not sure if this is a design choice or a restriction based on scale.
    I think if your on the fence, in my honest opinion wait until general launch and a couple of patches have come through - and buy with an open mind as to what style of gameplay your looking for. PTFO and work with your squad and the game really works, granted it will be easier when in game chat is fixed. Playing on PS5 ive not been experiencing the number of crashes people have spoken of, maybe 2 in 4 days. So my positive score is with a caveat, that the bugs are addressed in good time, and so far with every other game in the series this has been the case (eventually)    … Expand

Bear in mind this game is new and is early access. Every game launches with questionable bugs, glitches, exploits you get the point. I don't understand what people are basing their disappointment on. Okay there isn't enough gamemodes. I agree, the basic game will get truly repetitive after a long time, agreed. Hazard Zone is a good concept executed badly, could possibly be redeemed but they need to focus on redemption at this moment in time. They need to look at the bad reviews and see what people are consistently complaining about as if you fix/add things people are complaining about to the point where you have covered everything there won't be anything further to complain about.

    My personal opinion on the game is I think its a step down the right path. But the next couple months are crucial to the games success. Its enjoyable, yes but I can see the content lacking very soon. But I think people need to cut them some slack and not one overly critical of the situation as I think its becoming worse the is actually is    … Expand

    I’m completely hooked. This is the most fun I’ve had with a multiplayer game in ages. The battles are epic. Every objective has players attacking and defending at pretty much all time, and the high player count results in so many epic moments. It’s awesome seeing the frontlines form and having 20 v 20 battles across lines in multiple places on the map at the same time.

    So awesome seeing 20+ enemies charging an objective and trying to hold them back with your squad. Explosions ripping in the background as a plane crashes nearby and the heavy armor comes rolling in. This game is the a game trailer factory line, with high intensity battles going on nonstop.

    I love flying the transport in and changing the tide of battle as my teammates spawn in on a flank and take a key objective. There’s really nothing like this game, an absolutely top notch experience.    … Expand

    I don't get all the hate for this game. I disliked the beta due to the amount of bugs and orbital is the worst map in the game. The rest of the game is so much better. Yes there are bugs, but this game is far from being Cyberpunk. The core of 2042 is fun, All-Out warfare is easily better than anything BF4 has to offer. The solo/coop modes are also very fun to chill out and unwind. HazardI don't get all the hate for this game. I disliked the beta due to the amount of bugs and orbital is the worst map in the game.

If you don't like the new operator system no problem, just play portal.

    Aside from the typical DICE launch/prelaunch buginess this game pushes the bar forward for Battlefield and the FPS scene in general.

If you're a longtime "veteran" of the franchise (talking refractor engine days, BF2 for example) you'll come to appreciate the massive sense of scale that was missing from the series is back. You can't just run to every single objective on the map and zerg, you're expected to use vehicles and actually defend captured points! The days of solocapping flags with no interference are gone! 128 players makes for some wild action movie gameplay moments that was simply not possible with 64 players. I thought the tornado was just another gimmick like Levolution in BF4 but it's dynamic in it's path and rare to see, adding to the visual presentation of the game. Destruction is on par with BFV and is visually superior in some cases. Smoke effects especially on the rocket launch are breathtaking. All the bar pushing visuals you'd expect from a frostbite Battlefield are present. Hazard Zone is a nice take on a tarkov like mode but it needs more meat, there is potential there. Portal is the love letter to fans that dice claimed it would be, I just hope it gets continued support and we get to see more refractor games in the mix. MEC remastered? DICE plz. There are gameplay concerns in this early stage, specialists don't seem as bad as people made it out to be but I'm unsure of where the meta will go as more are added. Will every specialist remain useful in time? The weapon count in the AOW mode is unfortunately low for my liking. Don't necessarily need BF4s reskined guns with the same stats but a few more weapons with actual variety would be helpful. The plus system is also a nice spin on customization but it's somewhat clunky at the moment. Then there's things like supposed sbmm, the lack of a scoreboard, weird weapon spread when moving, or no server browser on AOW etc. These are things that need to be addressed immediately for the long-term health of the game. I don't agree with many other reviews or opinions you may see where they think these things will plummet the game into oblivion, there's just too many positives weighing those issues down. This isn't a BF4 catastrophe, lawsuit filing level launch, not even close to that and anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or wasn't around back then. I truly believe when the dust settles and more meat is added this game will at the very least surpass BF4.… Expand

You can set your own game with bots and if you are someone who doesn't play online games 10 hours a day you will feel good, because you won't die every 10 seconds after spawn.

    If you know something about scripting, you have free hands in creation. You can script unbeliavable things in portal editor (free for all / team deathmatch) Like mode where you have rocket launcher and if you miss you'll die.

    Besides the expected server errors at launch, Battlefield 2042 has been a great experience for me this weekend. Some of the guns need adjusted, especially the Assault Rifles needing buffed a little, but other than that it's been great. Playing with modern day soldiers and weapons on battlefields of the past and some of the created games in portal have been awesome. on battlefields

    2042 is no worse than any other Battlefield at launch, and after getting to about level 25 I have found that it has some unique aspects that really start to shine the more you play and explore with the possibilities. Looking forward to its evolution and improvements. Not sure what to say about the super negative reception other than it hasn't been my experience at all, occasional bugs but nothing crazy -- playing on PS5 with crossplay disabled -- it works great and is awesome. As with most polarized topics these days, there is a loud and vocal minority.

    That is true, It is a path away from BF basics but specialists’ perks give more tactical abilities on a battle ground, which cause much more fun moments at the game,

    Actually we have to stress BF 2042 has the best sound design we’ve ever heard,
    Music, ambient, gunfire sound very satisfying - there are lot of in common with Hans Zimmer minimalistic style, sound scene is a great work for DICE’s composers,

    Also, the Visual scenes is beautiful too - there are some moments let you feel like you are at Michael Bay movie, it is very encouraging,

    What I really hate, that’s the voices of specialists, it totally breaks game’s narrative, no need in improvements, DICE please just cut the voices off, or give us the option to switch it off at least,

    Also I am not OK with bloom mechanics and random bullet spread, sometimes lucky bullet spread is really frustrating,

    At the end, after 8 days continuously playing BF 2042 and at the 51 level, I wish to say DICE/EA have done good job,

    That’s true, It far away from polish work, it’s far away from BF classic formula, but still it the greatest shooter with tons of fun right know,

    I understand the most negative reviews are coming from the bad optimisation of the game, on the 3060 you have barely 50-60 fps on ultra, so you have to reduce graphics setting, plus 128 players are big amount for mediocre processors,

    On the PS5 the game feels much more satisfying, it performs 55-60 fps at 4k (waiting for accurate digital foundry tests), which is sold result,

    I would put here 8/10, But considering here are a lot of negativity from people who hasn’t ever played this game, I just make it 10,

    DICE please, fix all qns community is asking for:
    - cut off cringe voices
    - return back the scoreboard
    - server fix and hit registration issues
    - more optimisation to rich stable fps
    - weapon bloom/lucky spread

    As for maps I do not understand current negativity,
    There are spots for close range battle, for middle and higher ranges at every map,

    It is not a DOOM game, It is Battlfield formula to make you walk for 10 minutes plus - before you die, and DICE’s task was to make it fun,

    This game is an absolute blast. The negative reviews are warranted to an extent but the review bombing of scores below a 5 make no sense in my opinion.

The negative reviews are warranted to an extent but the review bombing of scores below a 5 make no sense in my opinion. It’s one thing to criticize a game due to bugs being present (which will be fixed) but it’s a completely different thing to purposefully come on and give it the lowest score possible because you’re mad that your beloved franchise changed things up to present something fresh. They managed to fix numerous issues I encountered in the beta that improved the gameplay immensely. The game isn’t perfect but I have faith that it will be fixed just like almost every other game once patches roll out at a more consistent pace. If you’re a fps fan and even mildly interested in this one I say grab it. It’s all out chaotic warfare that’s highly reminiscent of Battlefield 4 with way more action and it’s an absolute blast. The amount of laughter and chaotic screaming I’ve shared with friends since launch has been well worth it. The game has major potential and I’m hoping the devs fix it and get everything going on the right path again.… Expand

Overall, having tons of fun, can’t stop playing it. Just needs some fixes of course and need more customization like icons size and opacity. Oh and Portal is so good, takes you back to classic older Battlefield. Not a big fan of Hazard Zone tho but I wasn’t really excited for that in the first place.

Maps feel a bit too big at times, but playing breakthroughs seems to be the ideal for fans of the hardcore battlefield all out moments. There at the time of this writing many bugs and crashes, but never in a overwhelming abundance. I can play for a good 4-5 hours and get 1-2 game breaking problems and maybe 1 crash if I’m unlucky. Overall, this one sits right by me and feels close to what battlefield 4 was. Trying it with a few friends is quite honestly the best way to get a good feel. If you have played the beta, the game sits close to it, but is still distinctly enough to feel like a good overhaul.
    Best advice I can give is either get it right now or wait a few weeks/months for all the problems and balancing to be fixed and for them to announce the roadmap.    … Expand

Looking at the score of the way I do though right now I feel like there's a lot of trolls that isn't a real score everybody I talk to and chat online right now is having an awesome experience some of the downsides though is it needs an in-game chat although adding someone to a party there's a little more of a task it's still worth it and strategic modes like hazard zone the gun count is a little low but then if you go to portal a quadruples in size so you can find anything you want for a first person shooter in this game if you don't like one mode there's always another one to satisfy you I admit I don't like all three modes because I like playing one right now but when I get tired of it I'm sure I'll switch to another one and I'll be just fine but I noticed that some people are thinking this game is bad I really don't know why the graphics are amazing the gameplay is action-packed other than a couple minor bugs which are normal like this is nowhere close to battlefield 4 bugs I just don't get why people are giving it such a bad rap on here and a couple YouTubers say it's not that great but I've been having a blast anybody who loves battlefield is having a blast too I think the majority of people putting bad reviews on this game probably don't normally play battlefield are still mad about battlefield 5 who knows I don't know I'm having a good time I highly recommend getting this game and I honestly can't get off of it and that 32 I was starting to think I don't need to play video games anymore we'll battlefield reignited that for me… Expand

    On Playstation 5 Battlefield 2042 is running extremely well, no frame drops, no big server problems. I'm currently sitting at 15 hours of gametime and the only bugs I've run into are one that doesn't allow me to revive allies, and one were being downed doesn't show the "hold to respawn" option. The game looks amazing, and is a vast improvement from both the Tech test, and the Beta.

    More content and maps along with the inclusion of Rush mode now bring this up to the version that probably should have been released.
    Well worth a look expecially if you can pick this up at a reduced price

    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]
