    Игра говно и я покупал делюкс версию, но полита никак не должна влиять на видеоигры, и мне жаль, что EA отвернулись от русских геймеров.
    The game is **** and I bought the deluxe version, but polita should not affect video games in any way, and I'm sorry that EA turned their backs on Russian gamers.

    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.

    Режим Hazard скучное и бесполезное говно.
    Как итог - Bf2042 просто плохая игра, которую долго и больно нужно допиливать напильником и надеяться, что разработчики выпустят нормальные карты (ха-ха, so naive); Hazard ненужное говно; Portal - для ностальгирующих пердунов, а тем, кто затер старые части до дыр нафиг не нужная вещь.

    This game really isn't as good as people make it out to be. It does not please the gamer base in any way. The previous installments were better, and the was no reason for this game to be made at all. I hope that EA can learn from their mistakes in this game.

    This has nothing to do with a Battlefield game. Also paying 10€ on top for next Gen is a joke. The features are poor implemented or not at all, you don't get adaptive triggers at all.

    Beside that so many features are removed from previous Battlefield games that it took the soul out of Battlefield. It's no longer unique, it's just a regular FPS game in one of the worst launch states.

The best part of the game is Portal’s Conquest of Ages and some of the hardcore servers that were only populated on the weekends, sometimes. The main game itself sucks and is not enjoyable. There are no “battlefield moments”. The gun play is horrible, the recoil and damage is inconsistent and poorly balanced. The vehicles are overpowered and impossible to take out with anti-tank weapons; and those AT weapons are too slow of projectile speed, too slow to reload, and who the eff believes that 20 years into the future there won’t be AT weapons that can lock on? And that goes to the other stupidity of “future” war using the same weapons we have now in the same calibers. Does anyone think a Keltec carbine in 22 magnum is a sniper rifle? This isn’t the future, this is an alternate reality of present day weapon systems overlayed on top of unrealistic geopolitical conflict. Where’s China, Iran, North Korea, or terrorist groups that are highlighted in the US National Defense Strategy? EA and Dice are so afraid of Chinese Communist Party backlash they won’t even put them in the game despite them being the only existential threat to the United States. Everything about this game is pathetic and I with I could get my money back. Oh yeah, and because of this sh!t show I also cancelled my EAPlay subscription. Suck it EA. Expand

    There's about 2042 problems with this game, but I'll pick just one that is actually ALONE enough to ruin the entire game: the maps. Too big, too barren, too empty. What idiot thought that 128 means the map needs to be 5X the size of Los Santos

    There's other problems like crap UI, crap gunplay, crap hitreg, crap specialists etc. etc. etc.

    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.

Eu teria vergonha de lançar um jogo inacabado igual a esse antes do tempo, e enfiar o trabalho de anos de uma equipe no cú. Os mapas estão lindos e o gráfico tá bonito. Dá pra ver que teve um empenho muito bom nos detalhes gráficos do jogo, nos mapas e etc.. Mas é só isso! O menu do jogo é extremamente bagunçado e confuso. 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. Esse jogo tem MUITO potencial, espero que realmente vocês escutem a comunidade. Mas por enquanto eu não recomendo jogar dinheiro no lixo comprando essa porcaria desse jogo!

Everything just seems like a step back. There are many things older Battlefield games did better than 2042 which is weird considering they had so much feedback and knew what works and what doesn't. It is apparent that the game was (at least partly) designed around the concept of trying to sell as many microtransactions as possible, even if that meant sacrificing the gameplay. I do not like the way Battlefield is headed and I honestly hope they can turn this around. I always thought "I'm a Battlefield fan, it can't be that bad" and blindly pre-ordered the ultimate edition despite all the negative feedback from YouTubers and other internet personas I knew very well have been playing Battlefield for ages. But now I know: ESPECIALLY if you're a Battlefield fan, hold back with buying the game. Try testing it out first, there are many options. In its current state I do not think 2042 is worth the money; I also think Bf4 still is the better game. Please be very careful when thinking about buying this Battlefield game! Expand

    It is unbelievable how EA said, this Game was ready to launch. They just expect people investing a **** of money in this **** game at the beginning and improve it in the long run.
    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.

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

    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.

Strategy is important, but there’s random people everywhere if you were looking to catch someone by surprise that will smoke you in 2 hits. Played for about 4 hours today, going to put in another 5-6 hours and decide if I am going to return it or not, which I’ve never done but I’m not getting a lot of enjoyment out of the gunplay. Squads need to be able to work together a little better versus just MOBS of players swarming in on points. Pretty much an all out war that’s pretty open on most maps. On a side note the tanks and vehicles are somewhat fun and enjoyable.

    After about 20 hours of gameplay I decided enough was enough. Traded it into GameStop. #awful

    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.

    No more scoreboards, no more cheater detection & no more motivation to "get to the top of the flag".

    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.

In software development process, you would start from scratch if you messed it up like they did. No chance of reparing that. There must be some fundamental questionable architectural decision.
