    [Specialist system]
    As a result of anyone being able to replenish ammunition, heal, and counter vehicles, the division of roles has become less clear.
    It's hard to intuitively know what kind of gadget configuration your allies have, so it tends to be a configuration where one person can do everything. Unlike R6S/APEX, there is no differentiation of roles, no same character selection,    [Specialist system]
    As a result of anyone being able to replenish ammunition, heal, and counter vehicles, the division of roles has become less clear.
    It's hard to intuitively know what kind of gadget configuration your allies have, so it tends to be a configuration where one person can do everything.
    Unlike R6S/APEX, there is no differentiation of roles, no same character selection, and no way to coordinate since you don't know who has what gadget.

    [No more scoreboards, squads, and points]
    No more scoreboards, no more cheater detection & no more motivation to "get to the top of the flag".
    It's impossible to get around a player who's on a rampage (e.g. take out an engineer when an attack helicopter is on a rampage).
    No points for kill assists, kill confirm assists, damage to vehicles, repairs, etc.
    　There are no points for kill assists, confirmed kill assists, damage to vehicles, repairs, etc. Therefore, repairing slaves/vehicles has no benefit.
    You don't get any points for following squad orders. The squad system is definitely deteriorating.
    The squad system is definitely deteriorating. The squad system is definitely degraded. Even if you are not the squad leader, you can specify the point to go to, but you can't see where your allies are going.
    　I'm not sure if the current dice can handle such a sophisticated system, though it might be possible to make it work if you put the heading point next to the squad column.
    There are too many options for the Q key, and while you can use the F key to change patterns, there are too many required operations to do so during combat.
    　There are too many options for the Q key.
    The squad system and map structure is crap and doesn't take PTFO into account.
    　Conquest is a wasteland.
    The development team was stupid to put the Kaleidoscope/Hourglass base on a building. I want you to try jumping off the roof of that building.
    　It's possible to use wall-climbing hovercraft, but even so, if a vehicle is summoned to the roof, there's no way to win.
    　Also, the wall-climbing hovercraft is confirmed to be a bug, so if it is fixed and the map design remains the same, there will be no way to win.
    The C5 drone can destroy vehicles with virtually no risk. If the map design remains the same, there will be no way to win.
    　Where's the baby carriage suicide attack in the PV?

    There are too few vehicles for movement. I have to walk to the front. There are only a few vehicles for transportation for a team of 64 players, which is insane.
    　I'd like to have buggies/bikes that I could use casually in past games.

    [Conclusion]
    If you've played with allies in past games (BF4, BF1), you may not enjoy this game.
    If you're a fan of APEX or haven't played many past games (not even rank 100), you might enjoy this game.
    The squad system is **** **** and **** as mentioned above, so it might be fun if you have a full squad with VC.

    Unable to connect to servers. When you do get in, it's only one mode that offers progression. Every round is littered with choppers with infinite ammo and flares. With cross play off you hardly find a match, so being forced to play against PC players who shoots explosive rounds out a pistol.

    Bon jeu, bien que bugué lors de l'accès anticipé je n'ai pas été si gêné que çà. 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.

I have been playing Battlefield for over a decade and this is the last straw. EA/Dice have burned this once beloved franchise to the ground. This game is absolutely soulless.

Biggest disappointment of the year.. as a battlefield fan if you are considering buying this game let me give you a hint : DONT it’s absolutely not worth the 60 bucks, at this state not even worth half of it. Not only because of bugs but mostly the gameplay itself. It lacks direction and does not feel like a battlefield game at all. Sound design is the worst of any battlefield, same goes for gunplay. Features that have been in battlefield games for years are not in this one. Maps look like small cod maps scattered across a bigger map and feel empty and without vision. No cover anywhere not even at the flags in conquest… Expand

For someone who seeks multiplayer mayhem it's almost perfect. For someone who looks form battleroayale there is mode that improves this mode and makes it little more exciting. For those who want crazy battles there is Portal. Absolutely massive editor where you can play however you want. Do you want to take your few friends in battle against zombies? You can. Do you want offline experience? 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.

    There are not many maps, not as much as I hoped for. But I have feeling that this will get better over time.

    There are few anoying bugs, but this will be patched soon.

    I quite enjoy playing Battlefield. Portal is definitely best mode available. It's not best game ever, but if you're not someone who seeks negatives, you can enjoy it.    … Expand

    Dual Sense feeling is pretty good. I like feel sandstorm on my hands. Gun's feeling is comfortable for me. Now, we have only a few maps in basic game but with the portal's mode maps, we have 13 of them. I only noticed two bugs: deployment problem on something like rush mode and problem with change equipment time to time

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

    The only fun to be had here, is at the expense of the awful game. Another dumpster fire brought to yoy by EA. 2042 is not worth the $100 investment I made for the ultimate edition. It's not even worth playing if it were free.

    I am a battlefield hardcore to the roots veteran and this **** of a game really made me so disappointed in so many ways. i don't even know where to start. the gunplay is **** and unbalanced, assault weapons have no tactical advantage long distance over smg's, they created the PP gun which is basically GOD MODE GUN for all the noobs and silly kids to play with which basically has 54 bulletsI am a battlefield hardcore to the roots veteran and this **** of a game really made me so disappointed in so many ways. i don't even know where to start. the gunplay is **** and unbalanced, assault weapons have no tactical advantage long distance over smg's, they created the PP gun which is basically GOD MODE GUN for all the noobs and silly kids to play with which basically has 54 bullets and no recoil whatsoever and it's instant headshot. there are many more unbalancing things they introduced like a plethora of vehicles that are undestructable by tanks even, hoovercrafts that escalade the skyscrapers like there is some weird gravitational force pulling them to the walls. the specialist system is a **** that makes everybody run around with 2-3 specialist, the flying chick with unlimited handgrenades that can easily take out choppers and tanks with her guided like missile grenades that follow you across map, imagine being a very good heli pilot and there's no way to survive 20-30 players with hand grenades and also long loooooooong range Stingers that follow you everywhere even if you use flares. not to mention the other 3-4 enemy choppers too. the tanks that were so powerful in previous BF games, now are like biscuits. every stupid kid with no knowledge of the game can instantly destroy tanks. there is no skill gap, i lose almost 80-90 percent of 1 on 1 gun fights and even if i do shoot someone first, that person returns fire with incredible aim and precision and instantly kills me. it's a **** game with veryyyyyyy poooor performance issues like 30-40-50 fps a game and input lag that if i move the mouse, there is slight delay, also for keyboard, the delay is so annoying that i can't literally move or shoot anyone. there is no chance for you to win against multiple adversaries, like kill one, move to cover, kill another one. there will always be randoms spawns from all angles and one flag cannot be conquered by just one squad of brave men like previous games because every flag will suddenly be defended by at least 15-20 enemies so even if you run across map which is freakin huuuuuuuuge and it takes 2-3 minutes of your life to do so without the help of a vehicle, and you feel good about yourself trying to flank and outsmart the enemies, you will be killed by 20 players spawning to defend that flag. which will leave you with intense frustration and anger and confusion to why are you still playing the game because there is no tactical coordination for a team of 64 randoms. there are no voice to adress your squad, no scoreboard, no point to spawn on the map, the minimap is a **** with no visibility or posibility to zoom in. they completely destroyed the movement of the game and the aim is **** you cant track a player with scope and hope for a nice headshot because the speed of the players is incredible and they suddenly disappear from your scope when they running. it's like every meter they do, has a gap between and one split of a second that player is not there. so good luck aiming down sight and trying to be skillful. one of the worst thing is the performance which is a ****show even for higher end PC's. the maps are ok, waaaaaaay too big but they have their good parts also. they don't give you cars when you spawn so you can get to points easily, instead you have to run hundred of virtual meters to flags. you get killed by choppers, tanks, hoovers, squirels, snakes, chickens, rocks and basically every living creature shoots at you from all angles and directions and you can't get cover or a break anywhere unless you hide in a bush. the destruction of environment is **** there is no building colapsing as they advertised falsly in some released trailers and videos. some buildings won't break if you take your tank through them, like BF V gloriously achieved. they took out the ability to lie and move on your back to discourage camping but instead they let everyone call in vehicles on top of skyscrappers to defend the points there which are ultimately impossible to conquer. on all the breakthrough games i've played , those points were impossible to conquer, it's a defender's paradise. the game crashes many many times and many more bugs and unresolved issues like this game supposed to be delivered in 2042 not in 2021. they should have taken 2 years more to polish and finish this crap that even cost 110 euros. how can you pay that ammount for an unfinished garbage that will take months and 10 patches to solve all the issues? it's a disaster and i totally not recommend buying! go play COD!… 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

    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 game is completely unbalanced. The progression system in this game is terrible. The maps are poorly design. Lack of content. This game has less firearms than Battlefield 4 at launch, and let me remind you that the latter was $10 cheaper at launch. The greedy developers didn't even bother giving us an offline singleplayer campaign, despite charging $10 more than the previous installments of this video game franchise. You can't even dive while swimming. The customization options are pathetic. The user interface is unbearable.

    This game has no offline modes. So once the developers decide to switch off the servers, this game will end up in the trash can. Charging $70 for a game with no offline gameplay is a cash grab. And the greedy developers have the audacity to charge $70 for only half of the game. The developers were too cheap and lazy to design the other half of the game, which is the campaign.

    Many review complain that this is too much like COD (like they say every year), but that's subjective.
    Regardless of the type of FPS you prefer, this game is objectively a buggy, janky, incomplete mess that just reaffirms why EA is consistently one of the worst gaming companies (as is Dice by extension).

I've played small early access, indie shooters with far more ambitious scopes and even fewer bugs and jank.

    Every aspect of this game proves how little thought and effort went into it. From nonsensical, and often broken, UI, unpolished and under-developed mechanics, low effort/tacked-on meta game, horrifying net code, gunplay that's so wrong and unnatural that you'll feel violated and in need of a shower afterwards, to almost comically cliché bugs you WILL encounter early and often (many game breaking), it's baffling how anyone looked at this mess and thought releasing it was a good idea. This game didn't only need another couple months of development, it probably needed a year.

    This is all really disappointing, because there is a decent game in there somewhere and when you're not breaking things due to bugs and bad mechanics, it can be even fun sometimes. Maybe they'll finally make it playable in six month and dozens of patches later, after most of the player base has left, only leaving the diehards stomping pubs and ensuring anyone less than a week of playtime will promptly uninstall.    … Expand

    For people saying that it's not the developers fault.. let me day that they have s voice too..just admit that this is a piece is garbage game.
    Money hungry and lying company.
    This should not be sold as a battlefield title.. this should be f2p on Steam , with the description of "expect nothing" this was made while we were drunk at the Christmas party.. Harry was so frunk he made the cringe voice acting... Don't buy, don't support.    … Expand

    On Steam's store page for BF2042, there are a few reviews by the following individuals that are concisely written and deserve recognition. I also mean to piggyback my review off of them because they speak the same thoughts and opinions as I.

    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.

    I'm just really disappointed.    … Expand

    An unfinished, skeleton version of a game despite DICE claiming earlier this year that they were 'way ahead of schedule'.

    Cons: - Huge empty maps with very little destruction - Specialists are unbalanced and uninspiring. - Only 22 guns available at launch - Game breaking bugs, and countless glitches - Hovercrafts! - Dreadful spawning - Audio is dreadful - No classes - No way to change    An unfinished, skeleton version of a game despite DICE claiming earlier this year that they were 'way ahead of schedule'.

    Cons:
    - Huge empty maps with very little destruction
    - Specialists are unbalanced and uninspiring. - Only 22 guns available at launch
    - Game breaking bugs, and countless glitches
    - Hovercrafts! - Dreadful spawning

    - No classes
    - No way to change squad or create a new one
    - No game chat

    Pros:
    -Portal has the promise to potentially save this game in the future if it is supported by the devs


    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.

    Battlefield as a franchise is done.    … Expand

Most ridiculous and stupid thing I’ve seen in a shooter. You can forget having gunfights. You will be avoiding tanks and helicopters more times than the amount of times you will shoot at people.

    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]
