    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.

    Beautiful game, feels like a Battlefield, to an extent.
    The gunplay is slightly weak, sad there are no generic classes for the primary mode, and some bugs are too bad to ignore.
    I hope a day one patch to smooth most of the persistent issues out. Otherwise, it’s a great game. Games don’t launch without issues, everyone is just mad.

    It is excellent but does not live up to expectations
    There are not many weapons
    The frames are very few

    I've played 9 hours of this game and I'm really enjoying it so far, despite what everybody's saying. For me it's the perfect compromise between Battlefield's traditional slower and more methodical approach and the fast paced gameplay from the likes of CoD, Titanfall etc. I don't get how people expect every new game to be a Bf3 clone/reskin with no innovation whatsoever.

    I really enjoy this game. One of the best BF games to thia day. There are some issues, however I did not run into many bugs that people describe. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of desctruction, which is a big deal, however I am enjoying the hell out of this game.

    In my opinion, this is one of the best game relased in the last few months. Just a pair of bugs are the only problems I’ve seen (flying veichkes). This is a really funny game, I’m enjoying it and everyone should too. Portal mode is awesome, there are not too many maps/modes/guns but I’m sure they would add more in the next months/years. For the moment, I’m really enjoying it!

    I’m a long time battlefield fan( sense bad company ) and BF2042 definitely brings back some good fun, I’m giving it a big fat 8. Battlefield 5 was the only battlefield I disliked a lot, this battlefield has been getting a lot of hate(I understand to an extent ). However this is just my opinion. Exited to see what’s to come and the potential it has!

    after several path releases the game now runs much smoother.
    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

Currently it’s been about 5 months and the game has had no content, and is still glitchy. The overhauled scoreboard is the best scoreboard we’ve gotten in a battlefield game but was 4-5 months to late. Personally I feel that the art team has content lying around, but the game’s development clearly had issues. EA/DICE clearly made the decision to first fix the game and then release content (in summer). As a fan of the franchise I really hope this April’s patch is the one that fixes the major game breaking issues, but I don’t have confidence in that anymore. With content coming this summer I’ll probably start playing when that time comes.

    EDIT: Season 1 launch has been very good, game performs very good on PS5 and bugs are rare. Content was very small but it was high quality, I like playing through the battle pass and the content in that is also very quality stuff (some games have it worse). While the content from the store is quite pricy, they are in my opinion actually very cool (would like to see more army like skins though), I see a lot of people running around with skins from paid bundles so its must be the general perception too.

    I hope that the next season contains at least 2-4 maps, 2 vehicles (preferably jets) and over 4 weapons.    … Expand

    And the introduction of classes to the game has really added a whole new layer to the game and it really encourages teamwork.
    Overall i think battlefield 2042 is much better now but sometimes it just doesen't quite feel like battlefield. Sometimes. So don't purchase the game blindly as you might be disappointed alt least if you are a fan of the old BF games, but if you just want some pure multiplayer mayhem i think it is worth it at least if you can grab it on sale cuz 70 bucks can be spent more wiseley.    … Expand

The game definitely has a a lot of bugs that needs to be adressed, and some fixes like adding a scoreboard and fixing bullet spread. it’s the only reason I didn’t give it an 8. Most people just hate on the game because they don’t like change. The game runs great on ps5 btw. Except for a couple of spawn bugs that I’ve encountered.

Avec le premier patch on doit saluer des améliorations cependant il manque certaines petites choses pour en faire un très bon jeu. Un mode entrainement par exemple, des menus plus clairs, plus de map, plus d'armes, et le Hazard Zone plus étoffé.

    Once this game is patched and finished, it will be a fantastic title. Depsite what you might be hearing about 2042, there is something to say about how fun this game has the potential to be. The maps, gunplay, and graphics are all very good. But the game is so broken that it's unplayable. Give it time, and this game may end up surprising a lot of us down the road.

Bom, a começar pelos gráficos, introdução das partidas, que foi baseada no COD, são pontos que eu considero muito bons do jogo. A jogabilidade eu, particularmente, gostei também, mas com certeza pode melhorar. A tempestade também é um ponto positivo. Contudo, falando dos que eles podem melhorar, o servidor está bastante instável nesses dias. Existem momentos que eu consigo entrar, outros que não. Durante a partida, existe presença de lags ou pequenos travamentos, o que dificulta mais ainda o rendimento do jogador em uma partida que já é muito difícil por conta do crossplay. Os setores do mapa, em que os jogadores precisam conquistar as duas partes pra ter o setor específico completamente dominado, achei que está em tamanhos ideais para a quantidade de jogadores disponíveis, porém os próprios mapas são MUITO GRANDES pra uma quantidade de 128 players. Você muitas vezes anda pra caramba até se deparar com adversários. Caberia mais jogadores sem dúvidas, porém não sei se será possível. Quanto ao menu, existem coisas a serem corrigidas sim. Um exemplo: os servidores das partidas do modo conquista. Tem gente que prefere optar por procurar partidas disponíveis no servidor Br, dos EUA e etc. Para não me prolongar muito, Battefield 2042 é um jogo bom, mas pode melhorar e muito para chegar em seu estágio ideal. Muitos erros precisam ser corrigidos. Minha nota é 7. Antes que me detonem, eu também não gostei de jogar com PC. Agora pensando a longo prazo, vai demorar para o jogo morgar e ficar com servidor mais escasso de players. Agora.. sei lá.. era melhor ter uma opção de não jogar com PC mesmo. Fica bem desbalanceado. Bastava Xbox com PS e pronto. Poderia colocar com PC também pra quem quisesse. Pelo menos, com PC, o jogo se torna mais difícil ainda, que é a graça, mas ao mesmo tempo fica apelão. Isso não posso deixar de admitir.… Expand

Hopefully they add more stuff later on, but right now I have a lot of fun with what we have at this point. Portal is amazing. Hazard Zone is not my thing, but an alright mode to switch things up. Overall, a decent 7 with a potential to go up to 8 if they fix the obvious stuff and add more content and a goddamn scoreboard. Stop the hysteria, the game is a lot of fun, seriously. P.S.

    Have had a fair amount of fun in the game with friends. It still needs some work in a lot of areas though. Specialists in particular seem out of place in Conquest, maybe they should be in Hazard Zone / Portal exclusively. Either way, I've still had fun. Will definitely keep playing the game while hoping it improves.

When the game works it can be quite fun. Every now and then there are these signature Battlefield moments of chaos everywhere. Though I agree specialist system needs more tuning however all the basic Battlefield roles can be covered with specialists and they offer range of gameplay diversity. 3 different gameplay modes are also welcome because everyone can find something that they might enjoy or switch around from time to time if they get bored with one mode. If Dice keeps updating Portal with new maps from other Battlefield games, it could become huge success. All out war could also benefit from new content in the future and updates to the existing maps as currently some of them are underwhelming because there is no cover and are not infantry friendly.
    At the time of writing this review, there are multiple major issues that needs to be solved for the game to be great:
    - Fix game breaking bugs (stuck in revive, starting match without possibility to join it, server issues)
    - Fix the rest of the bugs (possibility to clip through walls, driving hovercraft up the side of a building, be marked as an enemy, cannot revive in water or if teammate is blocked by an environment)
    - Shooting mechanics (bullet spread for most weapons, balancing issues)
    - Gun upgrades (some of them have the same effects as other upgrade from the same category)
    - UI problems (no scoreboard, limited ui customization, ui can get too cluttery and obstruct vision, too many menus within menus)
    - No voice chat, no public chat
    - Spotting feels inconsistent
    - map improvements (should fill the large areas without cover to make them infantry friendly)
    - combat improvements (add more ways to deal with enemy vehicles, add more weapons)
    - add more vehicles at the base to avoid running for most of the team to the first flag
    - improve spawning (some spawns cannot be selected on consoles, at the beginning you get auto-spawned on the ground)
    - destruction is underwhelming compared to other Battlefield titles
    - Improve feeling of reward (add military ranks with each level, show damage done to enemies and enemy vehicles (what does "broke a part" even mean?), add "assist count as kill")
    - make the tone of the game consistent (match end screen with specialists saying cheesy line are not consistent in tone with the rest of the game)

    These are just some issues with the game. Battlefield 2042 has huge potential, especially if they continue to update and fix the game for upcoming years without releasing a new one every other year. Luckily when the game works it's fun but when it doesn't it can get really frustrating.    … Expand

No choke points to enable tense gunplay. Vehicle balancing is broken and light transports are useless, which makes Conquest feel like a sprinting simulator. 128 player matches can be a thrill and this kept me coming back until I realised the maps were garbage. With servers seeming laggier than ever and player counts plummeting the state of the game is far from ideal. Patches have fixed assault rifle bloom and hit reg issues.

The fact that there are no official Hardcore servers, making it moot to get any progress unless you want to play playing the normal, broken settings is weird too. It is like they skipped any user testing before launch and just wanted it out there before the hollidays.

There is a clear lack of content at launch despite the game being in development for 3 years by multiple studios and already being delayed a month: only 7 entirely way too large maps, only 24 weapons across all types, numerous performance issues in all platforms, and several odd design decisions that would have worked very well on other FPS franchises but not Battlefield.

I dont know if they are trying to capture a younger generational audience or incorporate more features that their competitors offer but the BF 2042 product as presented at launch feels off and inconsistent with Battlefield's long standing DNA.. Review is on progress and 2 more patches are due in the next 30 days, but after BF4, BF5 and Battlefront 2's launches we shouldn't be having this discussion again... Especially after that CDPR did with CP2077 last year.… Expand

Yet these Specialists has no characterstic whatsoever.

    Game doesn't have a campaign. You know when you are buying the game for 80€. But at least you are expecting some narrative, and its there .. for 2 minutes cinematic intro, than its gone. You are starting to game and your mission is push back either US troops or Russia Troops. Also musics are very bad unfortunately. Round Ending themes are way too forgettable. Listened all of the tracks even main theme is not good.

    Tried Hazard Zone and Portal as well but unfortunately at the moment they are not promising.

    I would suggest if you aren't big Battlefield fan, just wait for the Season 1 of this game which will release on Q1 of 2022. Because Battlefield 2042 doesn't worth the 80€. Just Wait for Discount on Q1 of 2022 or wait more for this game to come EA Acces.    … Expand

    1) Poor registration of hits, I didn't really understand how to shoot in this game, perhaps there is an element of randomness in the shooting.
    2) There is no server list, you are forced to play on the maps on which you were thrown. In portal you can join an almost finished game, and in the main all-out warfare mode you sometimes wait for the server to fill up.

    2) There is no server list, you are forced to play on the maps on which you were thrown. In portal you can join an almost finished game, and in the main all-out warfare mode you sometimes wait for the server to fill up.
    3) There is no table to view the kills / deaths / ping of other players, at best you can calculate your KD (you can see the kills / help / captures of the players of your squad, or the general statistics of another squad, i.e. competitiveness is removed).
    4) I am glad that in all modes there is a store tab, otherwise I was afraid not to find it (just kidding).
    5) Huge TTK, it is impossible to shoot two people, they overwhelm the mass.
    6) Too long pumping, you need to kill 360 people in order to open all the modules for weapons, moreover, it became more difficult to kill people due to the large mode, earlier it was possible to fill in the superiority and clash of teams. The task for the skill skin (red-black skin) is unrealistic, you need to kill 1200 people with grenades or treat 2400 people with a Falki pistol.
    7) Huge maps, you need to run 1 km to get to another point (in the next sector)
    8) There is no pumping on the servers in the portal, the level is pumped only in the recommended section.
    1) Плохая регистрация попаданий, не особо понял, как стрелять в этой игре, возможно в стрельбе присутствует элемент случайности.
    2) Нет списка серверов, ты вынужден играть на картах, на которые тебя закинули. В portal можешь присоединиться к почти законченной игре, а в основном режиме all-out warfare иногда ждешь, когда заполнится сервер.
    3) Нет таблицы чтобы посмотреть убийства/смерти/пинг других игроков, в лучшем случае можешь посчитать свое KD (можно посмотреть убийства/помощи/захваты игроков своего отряда, либо общую статистику другого отряда, т.е. убрана соревновательность).
    4) Радует, что во всех режимах есть вкладка магазин, а то боялся не найти (шутка).
    5) Огромный TTK, невозможно перестрелять двух человек, они перелавливают массой.
    6) Слишком долгая прокачка, нужно убить 360 человек, чтобы отрыть все модули на оружие, притом убивать людей стало сложнее из-за большого режима, раньше можно было набить в превосходстве и схватке команд. Задание на скин мастерства (красно-черный скин) выполнить нереально, нужно убить 1200 человек с гранат или полечить 2400 человек с пистолета Фальки.
    7) Огромные карты, нужно бежать 1 км, чтобы добраться до другой точки (в следующем секторе)
    8) Отсутствует прокачка на серверах в portal, прокачивается уровень только в разделе рекомендуемое.    … Expand

There’s 64 players on your team and no voice chat for squads or a voice chat for all squad leads to coordinate strategic plays. The guns are just meh and there’s only 22. The maps are okay I guess. Conquest is a boring game mode since it’s too big. Most of the time you are running back forth to objectives to capture and then retracing steps without barely seeing anymore. Breath through is the better game mode but can be crazy with the constant spawn killing and some maps have impossible objectives to capture. Portal is fun but there is no progression which kinda sucks but it’s definitely the best section of the game. Haven’t even tried the battle royale stuff but I heard it’s not worth the time. I wish I would have done the trial instead of cashing out $100 to play early for a game I’ll probably get over before the actual launch date on the 19th. This game needs updates and help fast… Expand

Большие открытые карты в "Захвате", на которых, очевидно, практически нечего делать пехоте. Слишком большие расстояния между точками интереса, можно половину матча бегать от точки к точке в поисках пары фрагов и двух захваченных флагов. Очень странная система в 100+20 Hp через бронепластину. Противники и так жирные в плане здоровья, так еще и дополнительные 20% здоровья подкидывают душноты. Доходит до абсурда, когда 3!!! попадания в голову из штурмовой винтовки не отправляют противника на респаун. Плюс довольно странный разброс у разного оружия. Пулеметы лупят практически как по рельсам, но у штурмовых винтовок ощущение, что в магазине 50-й калибр, вместо обычных боеприпасов.

    Абсолютно убитый режим "Прорыв". Та же проблема, что и в "Захвате" - огромные, просто нереальных размеров, карты, на которых попросту пехота не успевает перемещаться от точки к точке. Гораздо выгоднее заиметь транспорт и быстро перемещаться между точками, чтобы поскорее закончить матч.

    "Hazard Zone" - эдакий симбиоз Apex Legends и "Побега из Таркова". Вы в составе отряда из 4 человек охотитесь за несколькими жесткими дисками, попутно отстреливая ботов и живых противников из соседних отрядов. Вот тут то и пригождаются огромные карты, предлагая множество локальных столкновений на большой карте. Беда только одна - нужен сыгранный стак игроков. В противном случае вы просто замучаетесь сидеть на экране "Наблюдателя" за последним выжившим игроком. Очевидно, что в этом году именно на этот режим рассчитывали DICE и готовили Battlefield 2042 исключительно под Hazard Zone.

    Единственной надеждой ветеранов станет режим "Portal", который тоже не без косяков. Кратко - это привычный многим геймплей на картах из прошлых игр Battlefield. С абсолютно теми же правилами, набором оружия, техники и т.п. Грубо говоря - это Battlefield 1942, Bad Company 2, тройка и четверка на новом движке. НО! На текущий момент (16 ноября 2021) невозможно создать полностью кастомные подборки карт. В "Штурм" невозможно играть на сервере со 128 людьми потому что: А) их не наберется; Б) 75 очков подкреплений (а их пока нельзя настроить) сгорают за одну атаку. И матч длится, самое долгое, 5 минут.

    Наверное, режим "Portal" будет самым долгоиграющим среди большинства игроков. После "восторженной" волны стримеров, которые, естественное, будут боготворить Hazard Zone, а через неделю уйдут обратно в "Тарков" и "Warzone", настоящим поклонникам игры останется маленький огрызок в виде "Portal'a", за который они отдадут, как минимум 5,5 тысяч рублей. Ну и периодически поигрывать в "Захват" ради практики на различной технике.

When you compare it to call of duty which has campaign, multiplayer and co-op (Zombies or spec ops) for the same price then it makes you wonder how they think £70 is a reasonable price. It should be half that. Overall the multiplayer is solid since they updated it. I personally got the game second hand for £15 ($18). I stopped pre ordering games because they end up launching the way this game did. I decided to check back and seen they fixed some issues and seen it cheap so I grabbed it and for £15 it's a good price. To summarize it's a good game but extremely overpriced for a game that has the same amount of micro-transactions as games which are free. There isn't enough content to make £70 worth while when there are games which offer way more entertainment for the same price.    … Expand

    The game is a solid 5 out of 10. The weirdest issue with the game is that it has no scoreboard which makes the game feel soulless. The game play is OK to burn an hour of time. After that it becomes pretty stale, especially with the bugs in the game. The one good thing bf2042 has done is that the maps are some of the best maps i have played in a battlefield series.

It runs smooth depending on hardware. I play on PS5 and haven't had but a few issues. The UI however is a mess and doesn't have a smooth flow to it. The maps also feel empty and not lived in. I see where they were going with the concept and mechanics of the game but I really think they missed what their core fan base wanted. Some of the new features are enjoyable and I like some of the direction they went in. However too many corners were cut, to many key features that makes Battlefield, well, Battlefield were left out and the community is down right angry about it. They need to listen to the players, the fan base that has supported them for years with there time and money. There are several things that need to be added back in. I don't need to go through the list because it's all over the internet what they screwed up. I want to have hope for this game and I truly hope Dice can get there act together and change it for the better. With the new systems in place they should be able to not only patch and update but to fully adjust how the game feels and plays. If they can add in what they left out to get back to the basics, bring new and seasonal events to keep the game fresh and not go the route of how the other FPS have gone with gimmicks and pay to win items, then I think this could be a really great game. Yes there are bugs, yes the game does not feel complete, no it is not worth $60-$70 currently, but, this is a big but, if they listen and open their eyes to what their community truly wants, fix problems quickly, and communicate with players it could turn out to be a game well worth hundreds of hours worth of play.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I play on every platform but prefer PlayStation.

    So I started playing this series with Bad Company and instantly fell in love with the multiplayer. I loved the everbody has a role to play, teamwork focus, destructive environments, and the feeling that you where in a war. They continued to do well and peaked at Battlefield 3/4. Battlefield 1 they started going on a downward trend. Starting with this game they launch games with very little contact in regards to maps, weapons, and campaign. Even the multiplayer component seemed to loose there teamwork/role aspects that made Battlefield unique. Battlefield 5 they added hero shooter aspects to be more like other games instead of sticking to their uniqueness. Felt more and more like Call of Duty but there is already a Call of Duty. Stick to your history it's what made Battlefield a threat agaisnt Call of Duty. When they started the marketing for Battlefield 2042 they were saying all the right things and they got me hyped. Once again I was dissapointed. Hero shooter is still there, hardly any maps and the maps they have don't flow well, no weapons to choose from, and no campaign at all. I felt scammed since their marketing made it seem like they where going back to their old formula.

    This game has potential but they would have to make a lot of gameplay changes and add content which i doubt they'll do. There Aug 2022 announcement seemed like they are making some better decisions but I'll wait until i see it.    … Expand

    I'm not going to poop on the game in rage but I will state the obvious and what's true about this game (I bought gold PS5 edition so I'm a victim of false advertising and I feel betrayed). I tell myself it will be better but I'm afraid it won't so here's my honest list, no bullsh*t:

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.

    BF2042 can be a good game if Dice listens to the community. Matchmaking after every round, no chat, no scoreboard, lack of guns, large maps that serve no purpose (other than making you run 300+ meters to get to the objective), etc., all suck.

    bad things to talk about.

    1- the xp system in this game aint good anymore and not the same as the previously games.
    2- there is extremely little content than what was in the previous games.
    3- wierd bugs in the car like often if u hold the steering wheel ur hands a floating in the air lol.
    4- its such few gamemodes than it was before in previous games.
    5- idk if they have patched the bug that u can drive that boat up walls but still its such a wierd bug.
    6- someone says that theres a mistake in the game about the sniper bullet do not follow where u
    aim. but rather goes more to the left or right side of the scope.
    7- i dont like the menu style and how things have been setted up.
    8- it seems like they have forgotten the hill battlefield was but rather code up and design this wierd
    and sad shooting game.

    ok theres a lot of things to talk more about but this is the biggest topics that i met that is bad.

    ok lets talk about some good things and fetures ayyy.
    1- the vibration in the ps5 controller is cool. u can feel it good when u walk and shoot.
    2 the tornado i would say is a cool design.

    Some of the mechanics of the games are broken. Glitches and unreliable servers completely mess up the game. Game modes are really fun and weapon system, i wish they were more options but having the option to switch it up whenever you like is a big plus for me.

    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.

I debated with myself on buying the game since there was no reviews or clips on consoles, and the views on PC looked good but with massive performance issues. 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...

    A BETA CANNOT BE A 3 MONTH OLD COPY OF THE GAME TF IS THAT?!?! That my friends is a glorified demo... a beta is to test for actual bugs not bugs from 3 months ago from a different build...

I used to praise BF for its state of the art sound design, but it seems they have left that behind as massive tanks and other vehicles can drive 10 feet from you and you won't hear a thing until its too late. 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. Also where are the score boards and voice chat? Why are the most basic features gone? What is happening to this company and why are people giving them a free pass?

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.

    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.

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
    - not enough weather effects variety    … Expand

    The buggy launch is acceptable. However, taking away squad-based play is a sad loss for the series. Without squads, the special nature of Battlefield is lost. Now the COD series has superior movement and feel and Battlefield doesn't have its special touch. Hopefully, they will see their errors in the future. I got a refund on the game. Also, consoles have no aim assist so be prepared toThe buggy launch is acceptable. However, taking away squad-based play is a sad loss for the series.

    I went in with an open mind and only spent $10 on the game.

    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

    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]
