Nov 20, 2021Very unplayable state of game. 128 players on flat, open maps is a total chaos.

Nov 20, 2021Плохая графика и физика. Нет вибрации по ПС5. Бф1 Бф5 лучше и интереснее, а тут играешь с ботами. За бесплатно даже не хочу играть

Nov 20, 2021everything we use to enjoy about BF games has been removed in an attempt for EA to cash in on the little kiddy money. expect the game to soon be flooded with skins
-
Nov 20, 2021This 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! -
Nov 20, 2021No 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.

Nov 20, 2021Unbelievable, we wait for so long for this release? At least they have to give the game pass free, or full refund! Avoid the game for now for sure, listen me is unplayable, voice is at 30% adaptive triggers are not in use
SCAMMERS EA -
Nov 20, 2021Doesn'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.
-
Nov 20, 2021If this game was any worse, every copy would come with a syringe full of mandatory AIDS.

Nov 20, 2021the game have soooo many Problems and the animations reloads very bad and we need more guns
-
Nov 19, 2021Maybe some people enjoy being farmed by helicopters 24/7, but I'm not one of them. In addition to scores of other problems, DICE clearly made no effort to balance this game.

Nov 19, 2021Absolute dumpster fire and an Insult to every BF-Veteran. Even worse than BF5. DONT BUY!
-
Nov 19, 2021Game is fin but needed more time in the oven
Lot of glitches most are funny but some are frutrating -
Nov 19, 2021I’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.
-
Nov 19, 2021This game was a huge letdown. I don't think I’ll buy another battlefield again. It’s a cash grab and nothing more.
-

Nov 19, 2021DON'T BUY IT!
Do not believe that portal can save this game, it can not!
This is the first time that I wanted a refund on PS.
The game is buggy and boring, If you like Battlefield keep playing the older ones! -
Nov 19, 2021Battlefield 2042 is what happens when you don't use protection.
The most charitable thing I can say about this game is that it exist. -
Nov 19, 2021Larger Maps - Who asked for this?
120 Players - Again, who was this for?
Operations - Copy Rainbow 6 Siege
Movement - Copy Call of Duty
Gunplay - Pfff, who cares!?!
Utter Garbage. -
Nov 19, 2021This game is nothing like they talked it up to be, specialist are garbage and the maps are awful.
-
Nov 19, 2021It's so hard that it makes me hate the game and it is really buggy. I was better at Battlefield 5 and I first played it in 2020 and it was easy. I have no idea what it is. Maybe it's because them **** at ea let people play the game a week early.
-
Nov 19, 2021if you are a fan of battlefield like me that played bf1943, bf3, bf4, bf1, bfV hear me out: its impossible to play on console against PC players, i feel like a bot running around, and when you disable crossplay you dont find a match kkkkkkkk The maps are so big that the game becomes a walking simulator

Nov 19, 2021Sadly, another battlefield trying to be call of duty.. I feel so sorry had hope for 2042, was hyped and inpatient all the past months waiting to go back the greatest shooter game ever made, yet it just .. I don't know. Disappointing.
-
Nov 19, 2021The first game I’ve ever attempted to return but PlayStation wouldn’t let me return it. So many bugs make this not fun at all. Here’s what else brothers me to no end:
- minimal destruction
- no scoreboard?!
- menus are so confusing - slow progression
- weird gun bloom? - NO GAME CHAT -
Nov 19, 2021This game is anything, Battlepunk 2077. It seems that it is fashionable to release mediocre games in 2021
-
Nov 19, 2021Wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone. Feels like a scam for a full priced game to play the way this does. I’d request a refund, but EA has some coked out refund practices that probably violate some FTC laws if you ask me.

Nov 19, 2021Probably one of the worst game I’ve played, full of bug, not polished, not finishes.Also Sony don’t even accept the refund.

Nov 19, 2021Played for a couple of hours, just uninstalled the game. Battlefield hoovercraft pp-29 and bots
-
Nov 19, 2021I'll say this slowly... Is this a joke? Garbage game. If I wanted to play COD I'd buy COD. Anyone rating higher that 0, what are you on? Graphics are awful too!
-

Nov 19, 2021Absolut das letze kein Rush Modus, in Portal nur aufgewärmte maps. Die Eroberungs maps sind viel zu gros wenig Action. EA wollte sich an Cod orientieren weil diese gierigen Anzug Träger nur die Euros in den Augen haben. Habe mich so gefreut auf das Game und wurde absolut enttäuscht. Wie immer wenn man sich darauf einlässt
-
Nov 19, 2021It'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.
-
Nov 19, 2021This game is a steaming pile of sh*t. It is certainly not worth $80. If EA were serious about improving the game they should take the source code for this game, put it in an unmanned space craft and shoot it at the sun.
-
Nov 19, 2021Ich spiele lieber wieder BF4. Ich weiß garnicht wo ich anfangen soll... das geht bei der lächerlichen Waffenauswahl los und endet bei diversen Bugs die einem furchtbar auf die Nerven gehen. Die Grafik gefällt mir sehr gut aber das reicht einfach nicht. Wer BF4 noch immer feiert sollte die Finger von diesem halbfertigen Spiel lassen.
-
Nov 19, 2021Well deserved rate This game has No classes Not my battlefield
-
Nov 19, 2021It is excellent but does not live up to expectations
There are not many weapons
The frames are very few -

Nov 19, 2021Impressive lack of features and content. Feels rushed and unfinshed eventho they said they were ahead of schedule.

Nov 19, 2021My PC can run other games just fine, but this game is so poorly optimised, I can't even play on the lowest settings. I was able to refund this thankfully
-
Nov 19, 2021No teamplay, no destruction, no immersion. Not a Battlefield. Thank you EA !
-
Nov 19, 2021I wish the dev wouldn't made that **** miz of warzone and call of duty
Where Is the "Battlefield" experience? Where is the epic music?
Why do i need to play with endless bugs?
FIX THIS! -
Nov 19, 2021
-
Nov 19, 2021Oke 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.

Nov 19, 2021The PC reviews say it all. And it runs better on PC! I was so excited to play this on my series x but they ruined it. They removed everything good about battlefield and added 500 players, so disappointing
-
Nov 19, 2021Great fun with normal battlefield chaos!
Some bugs here and there but nothing that has been destroying my experience -
Nov 19, 2021This has nothing to do with Battlefield. What a disaster! I asked for a refund and luckily I got it.
-
Nov 19, 2021This 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.
-
Nov 19, 2021It's literally EA making their game more appealing to 10 year olds in hope that they carelessly throw their money at EA like they do with fortnite, Apex Legends and CoD. This franchise is now officially dead.
-
Nov 19, 2021This game it's a joke! And not a good one! I've created an account only to rate the game. The UA/UX IS A **** MESS! It's unbelievable that someone really have approved this game to be launched like this.

Nov 19, 2021A game that has no competitors right now. For those who are tired of games about World War 2!
-
Nov 19, 2021I echo much of what has been said here, the game is fun, but the feature that are missing that have been in other BF games are astounding
It will probably be a good game in 6 to 12 months -
Nov 19, 2021This is the worst Battlefield I have ever played, the only good thing about it is portal and if you want to play portal just play the old games, no score board, 7 maps, limited and trash operators, very few guns, NO CAMPAIGN 0/10.
-
Nov 19, 2021Absolutely 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.

Nov 19, 2021This game is so bad!!! I pre-ordered 2042 but i want my money back! I've been playing bf since bc2 but this is the worst game I've ever seen

Nov 19, 2021The game is halfdone. **** hitreg. No aim assist. Impossible to play crossplay against pc players. 2 weapons of 22 actually work. DONT BUY!!!!!!!

Nov 19, 2021Not only is it buggy on PC, it's also buggy on consoles. You can't even talk on voice chat. BECAUSE THERE IS NO VOICE CHAT.
-
Nov 19, 2021It looks like a game that's not even half finished. I didn't like many of the additions and there are numerous issues in regards with the gameplay.

Nov 19, 2021Worst BF EVER, it's shame that EA release something like this. From 0 to 10 = -10

Nov 19, 2021Ta gra jest nie grywalna tak drewnianego strzelanie nie widziałem nigdy nawet w grach free to play a nie za $60 EA i DICE zdobywają szczyty w ruchaniu graczy

Nov 18, 2021This must be the worst BF in the whole series, I thought Hardline had the crown but boy BF2042 is the worst of all!
-
Nov 18, 2021I think bf lost is soul. I have NO fun in this **** Downgrade is the keyword there. Everything is worse than ever, the gunplay, animation, everything! No patch can correct this **** If you buy it, just play on portal. Crap, all the titles this year are so disapointing. :(
-
Nov 18, 2021Franchement, rien à sauver. Les spécialistes sont nuls, ridicules avec leurs petites phrases rigolotes niveau CM2. Sauf qu’on parle de réfugiés climatiques dans un monde en destruction…
Le jeu est buggé jusqu’à la moelle. Rien à sauver. -
Nov 18, 2021Man oh **** man. All i’ve got to say… This **** is garbage. Terrible UI, messy as **** in general. So **** unbelievably empty and buggy. There shouldn’t be any excuse to produce such a poor quality game that is in need of at least 6 months more development time to be “okay”. **** EA
-
Nov 18, 2021There is no system of classes that are usual battlefield and a lot of bugs. Battlefield has become a COD, which is very bad.

Nov 18, 2021I play this series for over 10 years, and it's really hard for me to figure out what's good about this game, maybe Portal is a little nice? But it's still disappointing
Some people say after bug fixes it will be great. They will not fix this is Fortnitefield 2042 -
Nov 18, 2021My beloved Battlefield series is officially DEAD!
Where do I start? No single player campaign, multiplayer maps that are way too big and way too boring. The depth and fun of previous Battlefield has been completely wiped out in favor of a quick cash grab. I could not be more disappointed in this game

Feb 24, 2022While 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.
