    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.

И этот батлфилд не стал исключением. Я буду отталкиваться от негативных рецензий выстраивая список из достоинств. Начнём с рационального, максимально логичного развития командного взаимодействия людей. Это столь нашумевшие оперативники. Люди жалуются на то что никто не кидает патроны, не ресает и вообще кошмар, и ужас, но либо они не играли в игру, либо (что вероятнее) дети. Так как процент воскрешения и дачи патронов, и другой помощи от союзников по моему субъективному наблюдению такой же в точности как и в прошлых частях серии батлфилд. Оперативники-это хорошо, они дают максимально раскрыть взаимодействие 4 человек в отряде. Вы с братюнями можетё творить такое в связках,что и не снилось в прошлых частях. И трёп некоторых личностей мол "БОЛЬШИНСТВО БУДЕТ БРАТЬ ЧУВАКА С КРЮКОМ ОН ЖЕ КАПЕЦ КАКОЙ КРУТОЙ КРЮК ЭТО ТАК КРУТО ЛЕТАТЬ ПИЮ ПИЮ ПИЮ ПИЮ ПИЮ И НЕ БУДЕТ МЕДИКОВ СТО ПРОЦ Я ВАМ ГОВОРЮ" , и я не выдумываю
    соломенное чучело чтоб его разбить, такое мнение реально существует. Так вот, таким людям хочется сказать поиграйте в игру, камон. Это утверждение содержит противоречие, оно не связано с реальностью. Все оперативники - хороши, все они используются в определенных ситуациях и их необходимо менять по мере смены карты и даже сектора одной карты. Количество оружия для мультикласса достаточное и оно планомерно размазано по уровням, следовательно , пушки не успевают заебать, т.к. плюсом они максимально все разные. Техника- моё почтение, кастомайз техники сделан таким образом, что ты чувствуешь реальную прогрессию в своем танке. От консервной банки до бога на колесах надо реально научится нагибать, а не просто аутировать. Так игра ещё и ништяков накинет за то что ты нагибаешь. Карты, вот это самая обычная история батлфилда, большая их часть говнище лютое, но есть прям топовые на которых и только на которых хочется играть. Есть карты удачные, есть говно. Боги мои, вы вообще играли в старые батлфилды? Это дефолт что много мусорных карт. Стрельба - хуже чем в батлфилд 5, но пойдёт, на уровне хардлайна по ощущениям. Портал - пушка, хазард зон - недооцененная пушка. И кто говорит мол "В ХАЗАРД ЗОНЕ НЕТУ СМЫСЛА ИГРАТЬ ТАМ НЕ ДАЮТ СКИНОВ НАПРИМЕР ЗА ПОБЕДЫ ЫУУУ" и в этот момент же хвалят портал(где нету никакой прогрессии и плюшек) это так для понимания шизофреников в обзорах. Единственные минусы server browser в портале работает криво абсолютно, и то что профильной статистики нету. Торнадо - пушка, это лучше чем фау 2 из бф5. Звуки и графика на уровне. Рекомендую всем

    This has nothing to do with Battlefield.

    No scoreboards.
    No classes.
    No destruction.
    No servers.
    No stats.
    No chat.
    The weapons omg. There are literally only 4 ARs. Wtf is this?
    It tries to be a mix of Warzone, Fortnite, R6 Siege, Apex and so on.

    The cringe after game lines.

    This is an unfinished, unpolished and broken game.
    Do not buy this until everything is fixed!

    No scoreboard, no servers, only 22 weapons, lackluster destruction and levolution, camos look awful and bland, no in-game stats, only 2 game modes. This battlefield isn’t a real battlefield game. 128 players is nonsense; just added unnecessary chaos, you don’t even end up getting more kills. 64 players should be the max. 7 maps in total and they have awful flow.

    Doesn't feel like Battlefield at all. Soul less, cod imitation. How sad is that? It really is. So disappointed. Feels wonky, clunky, uninspired, basically the opposite of how Battlefield we all know and love.

    I’ve been playing Battlefield games since BF3 and I loved them all. 2042 is, unfortunately, a complete departure from what made these games great. The technical flaws at launch are annoying, but the bigger problems are in the game design. It’s terrible. Don’t buy this game. Instead, buy and play any other previous Battlefield game.

    No jokes new Battlfield game has lots of bugs, incl servers issues, hits registration, glitches etc

    As a fan of BF series I enjoy the game. Period. Class system is on the board, actually it is a mix of class system plus specialist’s system, That is true, It is a path away from BF basics but specialists’ perks give more tactical abilities on a battle ground, which cause much more fun

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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 game is so bad right now, I would say it's worse than the BFV day 1: 1. tons of bugs 2. no leaderboard 3. little to no destruction to the buildings 4. can't select squat during the game 5. you may spend a looooog time to find

    Oke there are a some bugs that needs to be fixed, the HUD needs some tweaks, the scoreboard must come back and i really miss the voice-chat (This will make it much more fun). But i am sure DICE will polish this raw diamant. I had lots of fun and the team play is there, but you need to be in a good team.

Looking across the battlefield and seeing 20 infantry running across with an almost infinite feeling draw distance it really has potential. However if you have played any of the previous Battlefield games....this is not like that. It feels like a shell of that. I don't know if destruction can be fixed and it's a serious downer. Expand

    This game is unfinished. Buggy. Boring. Outdated. I wouldn’t recommend buying this game right now. Maybe in 1 year or so. This product should’ve been delayed even more. This game is broken beyond belief. It doesn’t feel like a battlefield title. I wish they can refund me. 3 years and 4-5 studios. Plus a delay. Yet we still get a **** product. Cyberpunk all over again.

Game is awesome, graphics are insane, hit reg could be better as sometimes bullets don’t hit the target but that was way worse before the last update. Overall, having tons of fun, can’t stop playing it. Just needs some fixes of course and need more customization like icons size and opacity. Oh and Portal is so good, takes you back to classic older Battlefield. Not a big fan of Hazard Zone tho but I wasn’t really excited for that in the first place.
    Maybe watch gameplay videos and decide if you want it, don’t listen to haters.

    Absolutely garbage. Who designed the UI for this? It's an atrocity. Quite possible the worst UI I have ever seen developed. The fact that they paid someone(most likely an intern) to design this is incredible. This is just one of 2042 things wrong with this disaster. Too woke for me.

    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:

    - 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.

    Review in progress as there are two patches coming this year.

The game is worse than Cyberpunk 2077 on a PS5, constantly getting stuck on loading screens, falling through maps, freezing consoles, and if you manage to get through all of that, then you get to take on terrible weapon balancing, poor mobility and a general lack of content or support in maps (you often spawn in the middle of the open, with little to no cover, making you an easy pick off as soon as you spawn in.)

    The maps are big, like really big, but they lack depth and are not amazing designs. The game has potential, but launch definitely should’ve been postponed.

    The hour of truth. The patch notes for the day one patch are out and everybody who hoped for a 10 ton mega nuke patch wll be dissapointed. In short: the game you played in early accsess is pretty much the same as the game you get on release day today.

    BUT if you really thinks it's okay for Dice and EA to deliver us such a mess both on a technical level and on a game design level after 3 years of development and charging premium prices for it you have incredible low standards. And I am truely convinced that it is not just my opinion but you can objetively state that you must have low expactations and standards to rate this higher than a 6/10 at best.

    Vote with your wallet, at least don't buy it before it will be on sale in the next few weeks like they did it with BFV.

    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.
