They have already figured out winning formulas for the Battlefield franchise and yet throw most all their previous accomplishments away by backtracking and ruining future projects like 2042. They omitted SO MANY features that are either staples to the genre or Staples to the franchise and it is astounding. 2042 is not worth a purchase and likely won't be for another year or more.… Expand

You guys are still stuck in the year 2010 and somehow think that 128 players is a huge step up! This game suuuuuucks!!! Don’t waste your money!! I swear they allow people to play the game against bots while it’s downloading because they know that the players won’t get their 24 hour return back if they do. EA are crooks. Always have been. And always will be. You don’t just become one of the most hated game companies out there by not pulping stunts like this. #overhyped #underbuilt #dumpsterfire… Expand

    TLDR; I am not going to talk about the server, performance, bugs, and other technical issues, because those are plentiful and will be fixed. 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.

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

A lot times I’ve spawned inside a vehicle, and my character clipped through the ground and endlessly fell through some geometric void that has no set ground for me to traverse in a gameplay manner, it’s nothing but glitches. Had to disable cross play on my PS5 due to the consistent “persistent” game error message I kept receiving, which prevented me from playing in any matches. Game is not officially released, but even before that, Battlefield 2042 is such a inconsistent and meddling piece of game, and for a game that requires you to be online at all times, that is such a dismaying experience.… Expand

    It's... fun... for a while. They took away a lot of what makes BF great (probably to attract a wider more basic audience) so I don't see this being a game I'll come back to unless MAJOR changes are made. If that's the case I'll rethink my rating. But an overall big disappointment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Load out bug every other game, which doesn’t let you select weapons only specialists. 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.

    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 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.

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

    What happened to Battlefield? this feels like Call of Duty full of arcade-like gimmicks, there are hardly any weapons to choose from, silly classes as opposed to just being a normal solider and to top it all off a battlepass. All they had to do was go back to what made Battlefield 4 and the previous instalments great games. Such a disappointment.

    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

Bad gunplay: random bullet deviation for no reason, bad hit reg/ netcode, you just know it's bad when smgs perform better at range than ars. Next to no weapons, about 4 for each class. Some of the worst ux/ui I've seen from a triple a. Literally two modes for the "main" game. Hazard zone is a poor attempt at a tarkov-esque, "high stakes" mode that has zero stakes at all and is not worth playing. Next to no destruction for a battlefield game. Extremely cringe worthy voicelines at the end of rounds. Pointless screens that are not needed, like 4 or 5 different screens before you've loaded into a match. Not even mentioning they've removed even some of the most basic features they've had in previous games like a normal scoreboard, voice chat, changing squads and more. Stupid things that have been completely overlooked but can be found by a player in seconds. Example: switching buttons to alternate, crouch on RS, you can no longer use the magazines on the plus system because you just melee instead which closes the plus system. Also using a hybrid scope with alternate buttons means you'll be crouching/ standing up everytime you aim and swap zoom. Plus a whole myriad of issues and simply baffling design decisions that I'm forgetting. Portal may be the only saving grace about this but even so it has its own issues. Everything just seems so soulless with so many bad design choices. I remember back in February this year they released a statement saying they were "way ahead of schedule"... yet it was delayed a month and still releases in this state. It's just genuinely disappointing and not up to the standard we want, but possibly the standard we should now come to expect from dice. Please just save yourself the trouble and wasted money.… Expand

The UI is disgusting (don't know how self-centered and disconnected from reality the UI designer is, praising her own work when it's obviously very disliked by the community), it's cluttered, overly complicated, especially the loadout UI. It never took me so long to customize my weapons, so many unnecessary steps. The respawn UI is terrible too, I gotta fight with it just to spawn where I want to. Now, the main issues with this game : the lack of diverse weapons, absurd bloom, gimmicky animations and the pathetic specialists. There's barely any weapons in the game, (22 in total, excluding Portal) for example there's only 3 secondaries : one pistol, one revolver, one PDW... This lack of weaponry combined with the fact that everyone looks the same is infuriating, this feels like Clone Wars. Specialists encourage players to build loadouts made to go on solo runs on the map, teamwork doesn't feel rewarding and is therefore very faint, running as a NoPat (which btw is a stupid excuse to sell us Siege-like operators) is heartbreaking when I see US or Russian AI soldiers dressed like proper soldiers... And then there's bloom. Holy Jesus is bloom bad. Follow up shots are damn near impossible to hit, random weapon spray patterns are absolutely stupid too. The animations are bad too : running feels like a mix of CoD and Apex, it's all too quick and snappy. I haven't played Hazard Zone yet so I cannot voice my opinion on it. And then comes Portal. Portal is very fun, a heart warming and nostalgic experience brought up to date with beautiful graphics but troubled by the same terrible UI and audio cues that need to be fixed. Portal has the potential to be the game mode people play the most but as of right now it's too empty to hold that spot seeing as there's only 3 games and :
    - 2 maps for Battlefield 1942
    - 2 maps for Battlefield Bad Company 2
    - 2 maps for Battlefield 3

    Overall, the only time this game has made me smile was when I saw Portal. Since then, I've had the same frustrated, stone cold facial expression every time I tried playing the game. It's a shame too cause the game's got promise but when you compare it to Battlefield 1 which came out 5 years and a full console generation ago, you find it hard to believe the same people are still working on Battlefield. Battlefield 2042 is a graphically beautiful game (even though destruction is very lackluster) but it is plagued, and I do mean PLAGUED by the developers' seemingly uncalled for need to reinvent everything. Here's my advice : if it ain't broke don't fix it ! Infantry movement was at its best in BFV, explosions knocking you back, vaulting, fortifications... Everything looks so stiff now, it's a real shame. We shall now see if the overwhelmingly negative reviews filled, I might add, with constructive criticism will have any effect on the game or if DICE decides to ignore everything and act as if their game is perfect.    … Expand

    They shouldve just remade BF3+4 and re-released as a single game just like fans have been asking for

    Controls are shocking - ive been ganing 20years and they are the most inufrating controls I've ever had to use

    No one knows how to revive people, i cant figure it out either

    No campaign either which is such a shame following the campaigns of bfbc1+2 abd bf3+4

    Really really dissapointed

I really enjoyed being able to make my own characters in BFV. Not only can you not change the specialists face, but you also cannot change their clothes except for a few specialist specific options. Would like to see more streamlined breakthrough maps, maybe an option for smaller 64 player battles. Seemed like the maps in BFV created a more defined “frontline” for break through as you push through objectives. I hope they bring back more defined class systems and combat roles with a set of weapon options specific to each class. I feel like the class system encouraged people to actually fulfill combat roles and play more as a team. Medics actually revived people. The ui is awkward a lot of the times. Switching classes between deaths is strangely time consuming when you used to be able to switch classes really quickly in 5. I would like to be able to see the score board at the end of round and squad stats. You can no longer quick throw grenades with left bumber? If you customize the buttons and select quick throw, you still have to ‘select’ your grenades, and then instead of throwing one, you will automatically toss both grenades because you stay selected to your grenades? Who’s idea was that? Hoping that gets fixed. A lot of little details are gone like seeing your soldier get muddy and bloody or wet depending on the environment. I used to think that was cool in 5. Anyway, decent game, but lots of downgrades from the last installment. Would give 3 stars but it’s extremely glitchy and I often have to drop out of broken matches… Expand

    Essentially you have a game here which has been stripped of most of the features which made battlefield great. This game does nothing to promote teamwork, and it has little to no identity. This game is just filled with 75% of the players using the same specialist.

    128 player servers had the potential to be great however it has just turned out to be bland maps which are far to big filled with terrible AI bots.

    The glitches and bugs can be ironed out with patches, and I expect they will be resolved over the next 6-12 months however there is no fixing the empty soul of this game. It feels like a mish mash of apex, war zone, and overwatch.

    If you are a long time battlefield fan then avoid this game altogether. If you have not played battlefield before then consider picking this game up for cheap in about a year or so.

    - MR NOBODY
    - InfiniteFaux
    - MjeeD

    It truly baffles me how far off the mark this game is from being what everyone expected.

    I expected an experience reminiscent of BF4: being one among dozens of nameless soldiers, locked in dispassionate conflict taking place on a landscape that was indiscriminately chosen to be the victim of the ravages of war.

    Feeling truly immersed in a world stricken by poverty, natural catastrophes, and high inter-governmental tensions.

    Keeping with the integrity and foundation of BF4 - war adornments (ribbons & medals), extensive customization (tangible & cosmetic), distinct and iconic roles and playstyles (assault, engineer, medic, sniper).

    The feeling of cooperative embrace, of being one team fighting for each other's survival.

    What I got: a pitiful amalgamation of the most marketable and fast-paced, eSports-esque attributes of Apex Legends, Rainbow Six: Siege and CoD: Warzone.

    Right away, playing the beta made me realize how much of a misrepresentation the official trailer was.

    It's an ongoing, frantic frenzy of ants on a picnic blanket, running huge stretches by foot while all the vehicles are currently away partying on the top-floor penthouses of skyscrapers. It's basically a cross-country running simulator most of the time while the dysfunctional drivers and pilots steal a helicopter at the start of the round to go on a leisure tour the whole game. It shouldn't be that hard to manufacture or purchase dirtbikes or quads en mass in 2042.

    Quirky, superfluous 'specialists' that crack cringy corn-ball quips at the end of the round like, "That was fun," or, "I'm just better than everyone else!", completely dismissing the harsh atmosphere and aesthetic that the initial cutscene paints. That's the kind of flaunty animation sequence you'd see in... perhaps... a battle royale game? I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing first place do the [insert viral physical motion here] at the ends of rounds in the next couple of months. Am I playing Battlefield or Apex Legends?

    I hate seeing a group of identical clones running around while I try desperately to cling onto the tiniest sense of realism or familiarity. This was an issue that others may feel indifferent about. To me, after being subject to this "hero shooter" direction for the past several years, it's the last thing this game needs.

    It's a haphazard mess with several discrepancies and misplaced decisions, flat out lacking many emblematic facets of Battlefield (or ANY triple-A FPS title, for that matter) such as a scoreboard, squad switching, classes, and more.

    What's with this whole No-Pat freedom fighter militia - mind you, with no actual basis or story (R.I.P. campaigns in games) - but then it's just the typical USA vs. Russia trope again?

    Conquest (one of **** two available game modes) is an endless series of frustrating and hectic interactions with soldiers and vehicles, including but not limited to: missing hit registers, sporadic fire patterns, nondescript vehicle damage, inconsistent and poorly designed driving & piloting mechanics.

    The number of bugs, coding mistakes, balancing issues and content voids will probably result in a patch timeline that competes with even those of No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 because clearly, EA's focus was on "making a game meant to sell, not to play. (~Mr Nobody)"

    I've seen people say they still have hopes for the game's potential.

    The thing is, these aren't issues that can be solved with a 12 to 20-month service life like we thought would solve our complaints of BFV.

    These are inherent creative decisions that go completely against what a Battlefield game is, and would require a literal re-design of most of the game itself.

    There is an utter lack of variety and things to do in the game. I feel like I'm playing a $30 Kickstarter game that got popular on Twitch.

    Battlefield 2042 is just so clearly the outcome of the executive imbeciles at EA believing battle royales are still the absolute formula for good game design, completely overruling any one person's desire to remain faithful to an authentic Battlefield experience.

    There are so many things that they got wrong... the way helicopters behave, the limited gameplay variety, the questionable issues latent in the settings menu, the confusing and unfulfilling weapon & vehicle progression, the unbalanced nature of combat, and more.

    Coming from older battlefields like bad company 2, battlefield 3, and 4 this game is a major let down. The number of bugs is a joke and is unacceptable when you have so many studios working on one game. The lack of content is also another let down hardy any weapons, wide open maps, and no teamwork. Dice and ea really **** the bed when they made this into another hero shooter with cringyComing from older battlefields like bad company 2, battlefield 3, and 4 this game is a major let down. The number of bugs is a joke and is unacceptable when you have so many studios working on one game. The lack of content is also another let down hardy any weapons, wide open maps, and no teamwork. Dice and ea really **** the bed when they made this into another hero shooter with cringy lines from each. Hazard zone is also a joke. The worst battle royal on the market with no rewards to even play it in the first place and gives you no incentives to play it to. The only redeeming factor is the portal mode which is just the older games remastered. If they want this game to success they should just add all of bf3 into portal or remove the specialist and go back to classes also add more weapons but this will probably never happen since they all got our money and will never give us a refund which is a shame because we were all pretty pumped for this game especially watching the trailers. Hopefully they learn from this and go back to what made battlefield great.… Expand

    This game feels empty like it’s missing a bunch of things, also a bunch of bugs and let’s not talk about how they saying this game will go on free to play and for those who spent $70 on this game won’t get a refund.

    Просто ужасный шутер, который не имеет ничего общего с серией игр Battlefeild. Самым большим недостатком этого проекта являются карты, они слишком большие. За время игры большую часть времени вы будете добираться из точки A в точку B, но когда вы это сделаете и наконец-то начнется долгожданная перестрелка вы сможете насладиться просто ужасной механикой стрельбы.

Отдельно хочется отметить систему со специалистами ,они абсолютно никак не взаимодействуют друг с другом, что убивает любую вашу попытку играть командно ,так же этому содействует отсутствие голосового чата в команде.Я думаю вы уже успели услышать о необъяснимом количестве багов и недоработок Battlefeild2042. 2 бала я поставил из-за и вправду красивой графики. Как итог я настоятельно рекомендую вам пропустить эту часть бф по причинам указанных выше и тех о которых я не знаю или предпочел умолчать. Играйте в качественные игры!… Expand

    Fun game idea but extremely rough, your lucky if you find a match that's not already half over and if you do manage to get into one your most likely thrown on the losing side, then there's the option to disable cross platform which is pointless because you will never find a match and even with thousands of complaints the game developers once again are deciding to hide rather then fix their game

    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]
