    Created an account just to review this game. It's an unplayable mess. It's criminal to release a video game in such a poor state and charge people upwards of £70 for it, how these huge companies are getting away with this baffles me. Bugs and technical issues aside, it's not a Battlefield game. DICE clearly don't care about their fanbase and have created a platform for monetization. TheCreated an account just to review this game.

Bugs and technical issues aside, it's not a Battlefield game. DICE clearly don't care about their fanbase and have created a platform for monetization. The game feels soulless.The things we know and love about Battlefield are gone, immersion, amazing sound design, teamplay, destruction etc are nowhere to be found here. The talented developers that gave us the old Battlefield have clearly moved on elsewhere and the franchise is now in the hands of the suits.

    Battlefield was my favourite game but sadly this will be my last and I think this will be the same story for many fans. I will be getting a refund.

    If you are looking for an immersive, tactical fps I highly recommend Hell Let Loose. Support companies like T17/Black Matter who still make games with passion. Vote with your wallet and move away from these big AAA studiis who will rush a product out to get your money as fast as possible.

    I'm so disappointed in DICE. They seem to have completely forgotten what made battlefield good. And they have repeatedly not listed to the fan base. The soul has gone. The game is full of gimmicks. The frame rate makes it unplayable even on a high end pc. Even if it did play well, the UI, the level design, the woke stuff - it's an unmitigated embarrassment.

I'll put a score of 10, because there are a lot of unfair 0 here. Haters gonna hate. Expand

    This isn’t Battlefield. No classes, cringy specialists, terrible maps, worse movement than in BF5 and so on. Portal doesn’t save this game for me. I want something new after playing on Caspian Border for 10 years.

Would be nice to have a campaign, even a short one. Would like to be able to customize the specialist the specialists face and race and gender like in BFV. 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

Operators are a big change, one that felt very worrying, but I find myself enjoying playing with them a lot and growing attached to the challenges rerated to each skins and upgrades. Weapon need some balancing for sure and so do the vehicles. Overall, I feel the game is solid enough in terms of potential for the future and replay value. Maps feel a bit too big at times, but playing breakthroughs seems to be the ideal for fans of the hardcore battlefield all out moments. There at the time of this writing many bugs and crashes, but never in a overwhelming abundance. I can play for a good 4-5 hours and get 1-2 game breaking problems and maybe 1 crash if I’m unlucky. Overall, this one sits right by me and feels close to what battlefield 4 was. Trying it with a few friends is quite honestly the best way to get a good feel. If you have played the beta, the game sits close to it, but is still distinctly enough to feel like a good overhaul.
    Best advice I can give is either get it right now or wait a few weeks/months for all the problems and balancing to be fixed and for them to announce the roadmap.

    An absolute disgrace to the series.

    I’ve enjoyed every Battlefield I’ve played up to this point, but this doesn’t even come close to those games in any way. It’s so obvious that everyone that made those games great have left the studio, and the result is a deeply mediocre game that barely feels like Battlefield at all. Yes, it has a lot of players, big maps and vehicles, but where’s the rest of it? Where’s the amazingly effortless and rewarding squad and team play of previous entries? Where’s the authenticity and immersion? This series is supposed to be about being a regular soldier, but now we’re playing as these ridiculous hero characters constantly spouting stupid one-liners and wing-suiting around. Battlefield was never exactly realistic, but it always tried to be authentic. BFV might have had some lame cosmetics, but everything else has such a raw intensity to it. This feels completely airless with barely any war feel to it at all. There aren’t even identifiable factions, because selling cosmetics is the only thing that matters now, apparently.

    It’s not even engaging in its own merits as the gunplay is incredibly inaccurate, unskillful and unbalanced. Maps play terribly and don’t even look good most of the time. The player count combined with the wide open, badly designed maps and weird abilities makes the game either chaotic to the point of incoherence or just boring as you trek through vast, empty landscapes. There’s some amount of fun to be had in the chaos, but chaos does not make a good game on its own. The whole thing just seems really sloppily designed, regardless of any series standards. On its own it would be below average. As a Battlefield game it’s laughable.

    Portal is ok, but it can’t save this game alone. Smaller, **** versions of games I love and custom modes won’t make me accept this absolute travesty of a sequel. It mostly serves to show how far the series has fallen.

    I could go on and on about this game’s shortcomings and many have. My main takeaway is that while many previous Battlefield games may have been buggy or lacking in content at launch, this the first one where I don’t see any potential in it. Everything about this game, from its smallest aspects to its grandest ideas are mediocre at best, and no amount of patching is gonna fix that.

    - specialists degrade the core fabric of the game mechanic
    - weapon and skin customizations don't save
    - stuck in dying/respawn animation
    - connect rate for games is about 50%

    I'm sure it will be solid in 6-12 months, but it is disappointingly poor quality at launch. Pretty weak that game developers would be okay w/ launching something this sub par

    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...

    this game is nothing but a stain on the legacy and should be an example of what not to do when making a game. Nobody wants you bs battlepasses stop being greedy EA useless

Out of all the issues with BF2042, the godawful hit registration makes this game unplayable if you want to have a fun experience. I hopped on today and half of my deaths were due to hit registration issues. There are two major ways the hit reg issues manifest in this game. The first is that the bullets will go right through the enemy without even producing a hit marker, even if the bullet clearly went through the person. The second way is that the bullets may hit the enemy and cause a hit marker, but no damage will be given to the player. This happens very frequently, more than the former way from my experience. For instance, you may be shooting an enemy and get three hit markers, but the enemy kills you and from their health you can see that only on of the hits counted as damage. The hit registration alone is all the reason anyone needs to realize this game is not worth the money. An argument against this is that it is a bug that will eventually get fixed. However, the hit registration issues in BF4 were never completely resolved, and that is likely the case with BF2042. Expand

    I played a game without any love to the detail. Everything seems too spotless. It looks like EA used some standard objects available in the engine and threw some **** maps together. Additionally there is a minimum of structures that can get destroyed. Icebergs don't have a scratch after you shoot with a tank on them, a jet could fly into a skyscraper...nothing. It must've been too much effort to put destructible buildings on the maps. So what they did was put no buildings on the map, just open fields, barely any levels in which between you can fight on. Sometimes you have a single bridge you can go on. The amount of weapons you can play is ridiculous, the specialist's equipment doesn't require any teamplay anymore, players just use hovercrafts to kill any players on open field maps like a vacuum sucking up ants. Recently I wasn't able to play when using Lan. For some reason it always kicked me out before it started and gave me an unknown error. Using WiFi worked until now. I played until level 16. Now I can't play anymore because of an persistent data error message. So basically paid 100€ to play two days in a **** game that I can't keep playing. The error message could as well say: "Hey, our game sucks so much, we're doing you a favor. We still keep your money, Fu** off!"

    This is definitely on one level with Cyberpunk and should be refunded by EA. I hope other players will also raise their voices.

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

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.

    - only 2 modes on all out warfare
    - poor sounds when kill/assist (bf v,bf 1 is way better)

    I think game should be released 6 months later.
    Technically this is still beta - for full

Damn how much I miss the good old BF2, I played BF:Vietnam with good memories, I enjoyed even the last one BF:V very much, especially after al the updates the game received, but I played it from the beginning, there BF feeling came up. Now it looks like a free to play boring world, the maps looks like from a map editor made by some random fans without any love to the detail. When I think to Rotterdam on the last BF game, it looked so good, so much more details. But now, yeah I don`t know...stupid gameplay decisions, headless running around kids, the voice chat is not even working at release...this is a big joke. BF was once the Number 1 online teamplay game. That is the issue, when you just look on other games which seems to work and not thinking about your own strengths as a company. So this is a wild mix out of Warzone, Fortnite, some other wild shooting games where you just run around and skip teamplay. I am really angry about this game and the worst is that DICE even made it...I would have said if it was from another company "ok they tried but failed, give it back to DICE" - well this is going to be ugly in the user reviews for you. Just another game to forget directly after release. Expand

    DICE screwed the pooch and let out a game that may function, but is functionally horrible. None of the staples of Battlefield are present, and the game looks more like Battlefront 2 than Battlefield. Say goodbye to the franchise because this is it. The only people positive on the game are fanboys that play pretend on what the game will be. What a joke. Don't trust any positive reviews.

    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.

    Let's just say they know how to hype this mess of a game up! Let's begin. 1) We pay more for the gold/ultimate edition to play early but get treated like a bunch of guinea pigs testing their buggy game.

    2) the game is a buggy mess, hit registration is hit or miss. 3) the shocking lack luster of content in this game.....2/4 guns per primary/secondary etc? what the hell is that about!!

    2) the game is a buggy mess, hit registration is hit or miss.

    3) the shocking lack luster of content in this game.....2/4 guns per primary/secondary etc? what the hell is that about!! They took devs off battlefield V to work on this?? What have they been doing? I paid £90 for a game that has less content than a pack of cards!! It makes call of duty vanguard looks like a better deal than this....and that's saying something! 4) Maps are way too big were its an actual chore to get to and from objectives, and it doesn't help with the very little vehicles avaliable! 5) the UI for the loadout section is awful!!!! How is it even in the game! 6) Specialists. Stupid, stupid idea, what is this? Cod? No.

    One good thing from battlefield, is the portal mode the other team that worked on that did a smashing job but again I wish it had more!! To summarise, it could of been an amazing game, the best one in the franchise but the lack luster care or passion for the game is gone and rather you pay now and get content in drips and drabs....since when should most of the games content come as DLC?
    If you was on the fence about this game then wait till its cheaper and more content has been updated to the game.

    This review could change....but considering they released this how it is....I wouldnt hold my breath! How disappointing.

The main issue is how unbalanced everything is... the hovercrafts are basically impossible to beat. They are crazy fast, more health than some armored vehicles si can climb up walls... oh, and have a turret which kills you with minimal effort. The helicopters and planes don't seem to need resupply so they can just spam you with rockets and can trick the guided rockets. But that's ok, because you only have 3 of those rockets and you will need at least two hits to take down one heli. Now you only have 10 left. Not to mention that the PP-29 is the dream. All you need to do is hit the target and they die. The TTK for this weapon is only rivaled by a shotgun. And you get it at level 18 with almost all the attachments you will ever need on it. Munition is almost impossible to find and it is easier to just die and respawn. Anyways it doesn't matter because there is no scoreboard so nobody will see how many times you've died at the end of the game. Only issue with dying is that you'll eventually have to run a marathon to get from on objective to another. The operators don't really feel special at all and their abilities have almost no effect on how the game goes. But I won't go into details here. You cannot chose a map or server and after 3-4 days of playing I've played some maps on repeat and the ones that I actually enjoy barely a few times. Expand

    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.

    The maps are way too big for open conquest... I could see it work a bit better with a conquest mode similar to that of Hell Let Loose where flags behind the "frontline" are locked, but definitely not like this.
    Don't get me started on this ridiculous specialist system...They could have easily kept the class system and include the unique specialist abilities/kit as unlockables assigned to specific classes instead.

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.

    This game feels way less like the next instalment of the battlefield 1/2/3/4 franchise and more like the next call of duty modern warfare.

    I assume they’ve made it more Arcady like COD to attract the younger fortnight generation.

Theres great new ideas here and the detail and world building is something else.
    My first couple of hours with the game, I did find a little frustrating - but I was trying to play with the BFV meta of rushing with SMGS, but using a DMR and Falck you can start to get used to the scale without dying too often, using zip lines and call in hovercrafts you can get around the massive maps very quickly. Another note - the destruction isn't all that prevalent here, im not sure if this is a design choice or a restriction based on scale.
    I think if your on the fence, in my honest opinion wait until general launch and a couple of patches have come through - and buy with an open mind as to what style of gameplay your looking for. PTFO and work with your squad and the game really works, granted it will be easier when in game chat is fixed. Playing on PS5 ive not been experiencing the number of crashes people have spoken of, maybe 2 in 4 days. So my positive score is with a caveat, that the bugs are addressed in good time, and so far with every other game in the series this has been the case (eventually)

    We hardcore fans of the franchise have to accept that EA killed BF and BF its not coming back

    List of Current Grievances

    Let me start by saying that I so desperately wanted to love this game. I have been playing Battlefield since 2142 and it is by far my favorite franchise. Below is a list (in no particular order) of broken promises and removed or stepped on features that, if any one of which on their own was missing, broken, or intentionally removed, I could live with. When taken in as a whole, however, it just... I don't know... this doesn't feel like Battlefield.
    **GENERAL**

    * Plus system is clunky dog ****
    * UI is clunky dog **** wrapped in cat **** Might be the least intuitive I've ever seen
    * No Campaign
    * Lack of game modes
    * No hardcore
    * No military ranks associated with numerical ranks
    * Audio is poorly mixed
    * The maps, while stunning from both a scale and visuals perspective, lack any real flow for infantry combat.
    * Non-removable profanity filter
    * Lack of promised destruction/levelution
    * Faction locked weapons and gadgets in Portal
    * No rule editor support for objective based game modes
    * No server browser outside of Portal
    * No private/rented servers
    * Doesn't just roll into the next map after a game in AoW, back to matchmaking peasant
    * Cannot join friends already in a match (pretty sure I could do this in beta??)
    * Cutscenes all over the place
    * Cringe 'look at me' after a match
    * Cannot customize loadouts before joining a game.
    * Cannot select loadout or operator before joining a server which, in certain situations, spawn you directly into the game with whatever you had last game. This happens when joining a fresh breakthrough game, mostly.
    * BFV and Battlefront 2 were gutted to make this **** lol
    * No mouse and keyboard support for console
    * Options and description for kill sounds changed from beta. During beta it showed you would be able to choose between BF2042 and BF1 kill sounds. This same option now only lets you choose between BF2042 sounds or no sounds.
    * No Practice/Test Range
    **IN GAME**

    * Zoom issues with sniper scopes
    * No zeroing sniper scopes, starting scope (not sure about the others) has no hash marks on reticle for references
    * Biggest maps we've ever seen, highest scope magnification is 10x
    * No holding shift/stick click to steady a sniper shot
    * No leaning
    * 22 guns total lol
    * No ‘All’ chat
    * Enemies look the same as friendlies
    * Bullet spread / weapon inaccuracy outside of rock throwing range
    * Have to opt out of revive every death, no idea who can actually revive me anyway
    * Have to re-select spawn location every spawn
    * No resizable minimap
    * Cannot move while prone and ADS
    * Damage dealt numbers, e.g. "VEHICLE HIT 28" after hitting a tank with a rocket, have been removed. This applies to both infantry and vehicles.
    * Weapons can't have different sets of attachments in different loadout presets. Meaning if you want to have a suppressor on the **one** semi-auto pistol in the game for one preset, you can't have it *without* a suppressor in your other presets.
    * No fixed heavy weapons * AA rocket damage appears inconsistent * BF5 movement mechanics removed * Obnoxious voice overs, operators are incredibly vocal, every time you do an action they say a line. * Melee takedown animations have been gutted. All enemies are brought to a standing position before one specific kill is performed. * Cannot dive underwater * UI elements do not have transparency element and distant 2D/3D map markers and UI elements do not fade out by distance and cannot be scaled up or down * Good luck finding your marker on the map **TEAMPLAY/SCORING** * No VoIP * No real scoreboard * No stats page * No commander * Cannot join, create, or lock a squad * Cannot switch teams * Repairing vehicles does not give XP * No squad points for issuing orders or following them * No marksman headshot bonus for long range snipes * 'Assist Counts as Kill' has been removed * No vehicle kill assists * Spotting system is contextual and misses a lot of the time. For example, if you press Q over an enemy tank it doesn't always spot it, but places a go-to marker on that area. * The team/squad order menu (or whatever it's called) is a pile of garbage. back

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.
    И, кстати, в игре нет сюжетной кампании или кооперативных миссий. За 5,5 тысяч рублей.

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.

Where to even begin... giant maps that are dead empty for the most part because people are fighting over the objectives, which are ridiculously far apart (classic running simulator) and no cover in-between for the most part. Encourages less teamplay: no classes, next to no score for doing support based play, reviving, supplying, etc. You can't even tell who on your squad or team carries rpgs(everyone), rep tool (no one). 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

I also hope there will be more gamemodes in AoW. Other than that, this game is great. It is only getting review bombed because of “anti-specialists”. The specialists are well-balanced and, in my opinion, better than the old system. At least now you can choose whatever weapon you want with whatever class, no weapon constraints. Only problem is that both teams look the same, so if you have your HUD off you won’t be able to differentiate.

    This game is so frustrating. Vehicles are completely overpowering which makes it no fun to play. The aiming and recoil control is ridiculous. I don’t even want to turn it back on.

    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.

Toda a interface de customização e configurações do jogo são uma bagunça horrorosa! O HUD então nem se fala! Uma bagunça danada, desproporcional e feio! Fora o fato de que sequer podemos ter um placar direito! Ninguém nunca nem pensou em pedir pra que vcs fizessem isso! Os sons do jogo são pobres, o áudio dos passos é confuso. Sem contar o fato de que o jogo está extremamente bugado. Tem mapas que travam só por vc correr. E olha que eu estou jogando no ps5. Inimigos que estão no centro da sua mira, você atira e o tiro não pega neles. O hitbox desse jogo ta uma merda. Personagens que você vê de longe parecem estar deslizando pelo mapa, não correndo.. muitas coisas que poderiamos colocar aqui. Parece que ninguém testou o jogo antes de lançar..

    E a cereja do bolo de merda que é esse jogo, foi ter tirado o Aim Assist dos consoles e nos forçar a jogar crossplay contra o PC! Vocês so podem estar de brincadeira. E digo forçar SIM! Pois não se acha partida com crossplay desativado! Poderia listar todas oa bugs e tudo de ruim nesse jogo, mas não preciso, pois basta vocês olharem os comentário em todos os posts de qualquer rede social do battlefield. Vocês cagaram feio no pau.

If you want to spawn right into action then CoD should suit you best buddy, come on. The content. Yes, I too wish there was more of new maps and guns. 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. Just saw a review of a guy complaining about his K/D like it’s the game’s fault. Yup.

    Very disappointing. The graphics and maps look awesome; aesthetics very well done. Other than that just not a fun game to play. The gameplay is just not fluid/smooth. The maps are way too large as well - too much running around and not enough action. This game has great potential but it just simply misses the mark, unfortunately.

    Heutzutage gehört es wohl zum Alltag, dass man von den Entwicklern nur verbuggtes Produkt zum Voll Preis bekommt, BF ist keine Ausnahme.
    Im Bereich zur Beta hat sich einiges getan, jedoch nicht ausreichend genug.
    Was mich am meisten stört ist TTK und dass die Treffer nicht erfasst werden. Wiederbeleben ist öfters nicht möglich. Manchmal ist es nicht möglich nach dem Tod wieder zu spawnen,

    Manchmal ist es nicht möglich nach dem Tod wieder zu spawnen, es hilft nur reconnect.
    Öfters ist es nicht möglich die atachments an der Waffe anzubringen oder die Ausrüstung wird gar nicht geladen. So muss man entweder mit einer zufälligen Waffe spielen und reconnecten.
    Also es gibt noch so vieles zu tun. Noch ist es die bezahlte Beta.

    Battlefield 2042 это уже не Battlefield,это даже не хорошая Call of duty,к сожалению проект больше походит на free to play проект с кучей багов,без сюжетной компании и с посредственным мультиплеером

    This game is amazing only glitches I have experienced probably have to do with my internet but I'm stuck in hazard zone I really like the new game mode portal basically lets you play however you want and then breakthrough on warzone is amazing with the amount of players in the size of the maps don't really understand what the hate for this game is I've been playing battlefield since itThis game is amazing only glitches I have experienced probably have to do with my internet but I'm stuck in hazard zone I really like the new game mode portal basically lets you play however you want and then breakthrough on warzone is amazing with the amount of players in the size of the maps don't really understand what the hate for this game is I've been playing battlefield since it came out on PC when I was a kid I think the direction that's going a day one patch for a couple little minor issues and this game is going to work call of duty's but. Looking at the score of the way I do though right now I feel like there's a lot of trolls that isn't a real score everybody I talk to and chat online right now is having an awesome experience some of the downsides though is it needs an in-game chat although adding someone to a party there's a little more of a task it's still worth it and strategic modes like hazard zone the gun count is a little low but then if you go to portal a quadruples in size so you can find anything you want for a first person shooter in this game if you don't like one mode there's always another one to satisfy you I admit I don't like all three modes because I like playing one right now but when I get tired of it I'm sure I'll switch to another one and I'll be just fine but I noticed that some people are thinking this game is bad I really don't know why the graphics are amazing the gameplay is action-packed other than a couple minor bugs which are normal like this is nowhere close to battlefield 4 bugs I just don't get why people are giving it such a bad rap on here and a couple YouTubers say it's not that great but I've been having a blast anybody who loves battlefield is having a blast too I think the majority of people putting bad reviews on this game probably don't normally play battlefield are still mad about battlefield 5 who knows I don't know I'm having a good time I highly recommend getting this game and I honestly can't get off of it and that 32 I was starting to think I don't need to play video games anymore we'll battlefield reignited that for me Expand

    Эпичная игра. Никогда не видел на столько монструозного размаха в онлайн шутерах. Каждый кадр будто из фильма. Уж точно не на 10/10, но всё таки как-то надо перебивать плохие оценки фанатов cod.

    Awful. It feels like a free to play chinese port of Battlefield. 2042 does not resemble the franchise on the box.

    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]
