Nov 29, 2021I made an account just to leave a review for this game. I don’t understand how it is so broken. Most of the time my load out does not work and I cannot even spawn. This means that I have to quit the match and join another just to play a broken game. There is so much wrong that I can’t even be bothered.
What online FPS doesn’t have a scoreboard?… -
Nov 29, 2021I payed 90 euro for a game that doesn't have game chat or the ability to join a friend's game. It's probably going to be an ok game in a year but now it is unfinished.

Nov 29, 2021Fans: remember how great Bad Company 2 was? DICE: Let’s do the opposite of that for the next ten years

Nov 29, 2021This game made me want to do crack, it feels like they never learn their lesson. They always release a product broken if you already knew that this is the problem do these companies never learn their lesson with the games that they released they know a lot people I'm just disappointed in dice

Dec 2, 2021After owning all BF games this one should never have been released, I never have experienced a BF game this poor in so many areas, paid the full price but I fee they should refund everyone + 20% for wasting our time.
Last time Dice you have lost me as a customer. -
Dec 3, 2021Poor map design, multiplayer, hit detection, squad system, veihle handling, UI, gun Varity, missing single player mode, Hazzard mode is terrible, wors battlefield made since the series inception. So many basic features missing, it's only a battlefield game by name, all the old shcool devs left and we are left with garbage, EA ruined another franchise. GG WP

Dec 4, 2021Battlefeild 1, a game that is 5 years old, has better graphics, better design, better class system, better maps, better sound. Battlefeild 2042 is a culmination of years of dice throwing excrement at the wall and see what sticks.

Dec 6, 2021This release state of this game is at a point where you should consider this fraud by EA.

Dec 9, 2021Worst BF game ever!! Don’t waste your money on this game like I did.. don’t support DICE, they have ruined this franchise
-
Dec 10, 2021**** YOU DICE and EA. Have RTX 3070 AMD Ryzen 3700x and i cant get stable 60 fps on ultra FHD. **** YOU to the ground. Worst Optimization ever. You should literally lose your jobs. NO RESPECT.
-
Dec 12, 2021This is by far the worst game in the Battlefield series.
It is boring, it doesn´t look good, it doesn´t feel good.
You don´t feel the Battlefield. It´s just sad and boring. -
Dec 13, 2021Huge failiure, marketing fraud.
Too many game breaking bugs, ugly graphic and performance, supid game desgin Ive ever seen in AAA game. -
Dec 18, 2021Its big trashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh save your money & thank me later!!
-
May 31, 2022This is not a battlefield game, this is a different game, it’s so boring with a lot of bugs and very few weapons, the servers are empty and the maps are very big and wide so you have to walk for minutes to get someone to engage with, this game is absolutely garbage and it doesn’t feel like a battlefield game

Jan 5, 2022I bought this for the PS 5, hoping the bad reviews were just hated, but really, the game is awful, the imbalance is without the cool mechanics, the game is worse than Battlefield 4, don't buy this **** until it's normal.

Jan 11, 2022Infinished, full of bugs and 0 atmosphere.
By far the worst part of the frenchise.
The operators don't make sense.
The game is missing basic features like a scoreboard, VOIP, assist points, a class system. -

Feb 2, 2022Heh the Swedish Dice became a joke with their new BF 2042 game.Shame on you.I was so hyped for this game,but now I am more than dissapointed.You have succesfully destroyed your game that many of us fell in love with long time ago.
-
Feb 3, 2022The worst battlefield in history don’t understand what direction they were trying to go but the **** was backwards top 5 worst game all time
-
Feb 8, 2022EA cożeście zrobili ta gra to najwieksze gówno w jakie grałem od lat nawet cyberpunk już był lepszy bo ta gra widać że była robiona pod kase i tylko pod to
-
Feb 18, 2022Unplayable. So many bugs! This games does not deserve full price even if they fix it. Indeed, immediately they reduced it to 30% off, then 50%, and now it is permanently on sale. No guns, no maps, no story mode. Laggy servers. Every single aspect is bad and performs poorly if it is not glitchy. We, who paid full price, are mad at EA/DICE. I'll never pre-order again.
-
Feb 18, 2022Battlefield as we knew it, is dead. Thank you for the amazing memories, but I will not accept this disaster.
-
Feb 20, 2022It's honestly just really sad to see a once great franchise go down the toilet due to EA's complete and utter incompetence. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

Mar 2, 2022Absolute s***t. This game was overhyped with crazy preorder prizes for a few skin. If you saerch on the dictionary the word lag, a synonymous is Battlefiled 2042, and the 128 players servers are a gamble.
-
Mar 2, 2022Horrible map design. Bad game play. Should've have launched in the state that it was in. And yet another time dice doesn't know their player base and just simply not caring.

Mar 5, 2022there is no politics in gamesthere is no politics in gamesthere is no politics in games!!!!!! НЕТ МЕСТА ПОЛИТИКЕ В ИГРА ПОЗОР ВАМ!!!!
-
Mar 20, 2022A terrible game with nothing good in it, remember the days where BF V was considered bad? Well compared to this it's a masterpiece
-
Mar 21, 2022There is so much going wrong with this game, not even an introduction in the problems would fit in 5000 characters.
But to sum it up: The game is full of bugs, almost unplayable and EA/Dice doesnt do anything about this. Its only getting worse. -
Mar 21, 2022Awful experience, played for several weeks and wish I took the refund when I could.
-
Mar 21, 2022Aaaah this game, this game made me hate the whole franchise it literally gave me headaches. Flashing lights invisible walls and whatever. Bad shots registrations I never felt more betrayed by a company like now. Put 6 guns In the game make 4 **** maps and call it a AAA Title. And smack a high price on it...

Mar 22, 2022This game is barely playable. Extremely lacking in content. Bare open maps with no flow. Game was clearly not ready. Ea did no testing and released a half baked game. Wish i could get a refund.
-
Mar 28, 2022Absolute trash, I loved these franchise but once again greedy fwits wreck it again.
-
Mar 29, 2022No. If you wanna play a Battlefield game, then play Battlefield 1, years older but much better.
-
Mar 31, 2022Hahahaha okay okay okay we all paid $60+ to try a 128 player gimmick and realized no one can run the game... Can we have a Battlefield game now? This should of been a demo....
-
Apr 5, 2022Una vergüenza, 0 apoyo al juego durante más de 6 meses de su lanzamiento, siendo el Battlefield menos Battlefield de la jodida historia. Millones de Bugs y solo una actualización relevante un triste marcador de puntuación. Que debería de a ver estado desde el día1. 24 armas para un shotter del año 2021/2022 es una auténtica miseria. Ojalá que DICE QUIEBRE.
-
Apr 23, 2022Battlefield 2042 se résume assez facilement. Ce n'est même pas le fait qu'il soit mauvais. C'est encore plus insidieux que ça.
Je n'ai tout simplement jamais réussi à lancer le jeu en multi. Peu importe le mode. Et quand j'ai eu l'illusion de pouvoir accéder à un serveur, mon jeu à crashé et a fait redémarrer ma Série X. -
Apr 25, 2022**** this game, **** you EA and DICE this game shouldn’t existed. Don’t even think about buying this pile of ****
-
Jun 16, 2022Battelfield 3 (good), Battlefield 4 (great), Battelfield 1 (great), Battlefield V (awesome), Battlefield 2042 (Scam). How can you **** so badly after so many great games? I never write game reviews, but I went out of my way this time. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this piece of **** for the first time. You should totally refund people if you plan to survive this **** show of a game.
-
Jun 21, 2022There are no redeeming qualities about this game why would anyone ever even question to buy this scam of a game from ea
-
Jun 22, 2022Compared to older titles there is so much lacking in this game
The amount of core features missing is absurd
For a more detailed list i would suggest visitting the subreddits of battlefield 2042 and search for the top post of all time -
Jul 3, 2022Honest to God, I will NEVER EVER pre order ANY game from DICE and any other studio under EA. Including the Dead Space Remastered version. They are not make video games any more. That are packaging it and use it for SCAM. We should file complaint / lawsuit to business agency for their DECEVING act. This is NOT American!!!
-
Mar 24, 2023Shame to dice, this game belong to trash, i tried it twice, once in open beta obviously 0/10, now it is on ps plus "free" game and nothing changed! 0/10, there is nothing good about this game
-
Nov 26, 2022Simply wanted a campaign. only online. gameplay is terrible anyway why does ea ruin every franchise they touch.
-
Feb 3, 2023I'm always in the back, I'm always in the front. Where the mice go wrong!!!

Mar 24, 2023Just tried it today and in all my years of gaming I haven’t found a game to bore me as quick as this one . This is a real shame on Dice.

Aug 14, 2023A truly disappointing "game", it is hardly a Battlefield title. EA/DICE really failed to deliver any features that made the past BFs fun and turned the franchise into a mere shell of its intentions. There is nothing in this "game" to even work towards, so don't waste your time.

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.
