    From gunplay, movement, the lack environmental destruction, poor arsenal, few vehicles, empty soulless maps(and its presentation as a whole...) Bugs bugs bugs etcetera... Only positive is that it looks fairly good.

    In a year maybe it will be decent, but with their design decisions it will never amount to anything worth your while.    … Expand

    Against the background of this sh**, even part 5 does not look bad. and the first and already outdated fourth are absolutely magnificent. that year autumn was overshadowed by the release of cyberpunk, and this time they decided to support the completely broken gta collection, and now this one.

    Save your money this is one of the worst games to ever be released. Portal is okay and Hazard Zone won't last another month. Performance is atrocious on Ps5 have Uninstalled multiple to times and still receive constant CE-1088 error/game crash (the game leaks memory like crazy because the game isn't coded properly) in conclusion this game is a dumpster fore.... hot garbage.

    Worst game in battlefield history. - Idiotic UI design
    - big empty maps
    - only 3 boring gamemodes
    - no server browser
    - no scoreboard
    - hitreg is worst than ever
    - visibility is worst than ever
    - bullet spread. Can’t hit anything beyond 25m
    - operators are cartoonish parody characters
    - looks and feels like ported mobile game

    Maps look amazing but aside from that this game is a travesty and quite honestly an insult to the whole shooter genre.

Why make a good game mode or any game mode for that matter when we can just give the tools to the community to do it for us. Get rid of the scoreboard because if players knew how bad they were doing they might not play the game and therefore they won’t buy our future garbage skins we try to force feed down their throats. Don’t add chat someone might get their feelings hurt and we can have that that’s not profitable (says someone who bowls nothing about gaming and it’s community), no sir we don’t want a community we want mindless drones who don’t think and just buy our quick and easy digital skins. Why make a good game when you can make a mediocre one and milk the idiots that play it?

    Ask yourself, why do you want to play this game? Because I highly recommend you don’t, maybe then game devs will realize we don’t like the crap they sell.    … Expand

It looks like they tried to call of duty but the funny thing is that even though call of duty recycles most their content/games, the f***ing actually works!! Maps are too big for the player count. Even with 128 players on ps5 i barely ever run into people. And hello EA! But Activision managed to create a map with 200 players on a ps4!!! 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.

    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.

    This really has a very very good battlefield game in it, but you simply can not release a game in this state. It is almost unplayable which is sad because its clear its a very good game. My score is a protest against the developers for releasing the game thats is hardly even a functional game at all but im sure it will be great in the future. As of now you should avoid it like the plague.

Hitbox, Accuracy, Bullet Velocity all around broken. 22 Weapons in a Battlefield Multiplayer is unacceptable. Specialist are another unnecessary change. Yet these Specialists has no characterstic whatsoever.

    Game doesn't have a campaign. You know when you are buying the game for 80€. But at least you are expecting some narrative, and its there .. for 2 minutes cinematic intro, than its gone. You are starting to game and your mission is push back either US troops or Russia Troops. Also musics are very bad unfortunately. Round Ending themes are way too forgettable. Listened all of the tracks even main theme is not good.

    Tried Hazard Zone and Portal as well but unfortunately at the moment they are not promising.

    I would suggest if you aren't big Battlefield fan, just wait for the Season 1 of this game which will release on Q1 of 2022. Because Battlefield 2042 doesn't worth the 80€. Just Wait for Discount on Q1 of 2022 or wait more for this game to come EA Acces.    … Expand

Başlangıçta çok heyecanlanmıştım fakat Dice'ın bu oyun ile birlikte hedef kitlesini tamamen değiştirmesi, oyunun bir Battlefield oyunu oynuyor hissine sahip bile olmaması, bütün heyecanımı hayal kırıklığına çevirdi. Etrafımda gerçekten oyuna bayılan bir kişiye de rastlamadım. İlk olarak; Specialists kesinlikle Bf'a göre bir tercih olmamış. Daha çok oyunu Cod Warzone'laştırmış. Bu tarz operatörler warzone ve rainbow six için daha uygun diye düşünüyorum. Freeload sistemi rezaleti büyük bir sorun. Deployable shield kullanan Sniper'lar Bf keyfinizi ikiye katlıyor.. Genellikle herkesi RPG kullanmaya iten bir sistem olduğundan artık Class'ların hiç bir manası kalmıyor. Mermi ya da medic kullanan bir kişiye denk gelirseniz teşekkür edin çünkü oldukça az göreceksiniz. Freeloadout hem ekipmanları hem de her türlü silahı kullanma imkanı sunduğundan artık rakibin class'ının ne olduğunu bile tahmin edemiyorsunuz. Eskiden rakip sniper bize ateş ettiğinde bir şekilde üzerine baskı kurarak ona yaklaşmaya ve onu etkisiz hale nasıl getirebileceğimiz konusunda stratejiler kurardık fakat şimdi artık sniper kullanan bir oyuncu gördüğünüzde, ona ulaşmak istediğinizde o bir "Assault" olduğu için Grapling Hook ile kaçabilecek ya da "Support" ise sizi, size ateş eden bir turret karşılayacak. Kısacası buna benzer bir türlü rezalet senaryolarla karşılaşmaya hazır olun çünkü çoğunlukla bunları yaşayacaksınız. Şimdilik deployable shield kullanan Sniper'lar çoğunlukta :D
    Hikaye modu bulunmuyor. Girer girmez oyun sizi ekstra sıkıcı The division vari bir intro karşılıyor sadece. Botların bana mermi atmasını dilerdim fakat o da olmadı.. Mermisiz bir şekilde tamamladım tutorialı.

    Battlefield 1 gibi muazzam bir işten sonra oyuna hikaye eklemeyip, yeni jenerasyon bir oynanış da sunmakları için EA bu oyun için 70$ ya da 80€ ödemenizi istiyor. Bu da yetmezmiş gibi bir de Season Pass almanız şart bazı Portal haritalarını oynayabilmeniz için. Bu tarz para göz firmaları desteklemeyin. PS5 kullanıcıları için dualsense özellikleri oyuna eklenmemiş. İnsan bir adaptive trigger ekler yahu ne hakla PS5 versiyonu diye satıyorsunuz? Zaten gram vuruş hissi yok en azından belki adaptive trigger bir tık bunu sağlayabilirdi. Bir tık diyorum çünkü bu konuda oyun çok kötü. Son iki Cod oyunlarında dualsense özellikleri çok güzel bir şekilde kullanılmış, hayranı olmasam bile serinin bu konuda adamlara helal olsun derim. Görsel olarak oyun asla tatmin etmiyor, yeni nesil bir oyun değil. Orbiral haritasında roketin fırlatılması, ara sıra hortumun gelip dolaşması, kum fırtınası çıkmasına uğraştığınız emeği oturup biraz oyunun ana hatları üzerinde çalışsaydınız.. Optimizasyon & lag sorunları çok fazla. Savaş atmosferi neredeyse hiç yok. Haritalar o kadar büyük ki oyunda yaptığınız tek şey koşmak olacak. Death Stranding o kadar eleştirildi walking simulator diye madem öyle al bu oyun da running simulator.. Seneler önce çıkan BF 1'in çok daha iyi bir savaş atmosferi olduğu gibi grafiksel olarak da oldukça etkileyiciydi, kaplamaları dinamik hava değişimi çok güzeldi. BF1 bu konuda 2042'den halen çok iyi. BF1'i 7.1 kulaklıkla oynarken, o silahları kullanırken, sağda solda bitmek bilmeyen patlamalar olup duruyorken inanılmaz heyecanlanmıştım oynarken halen daha oynanır. Her silahın kendine özel tepkimesi, sesi ve vuruş hissi vardı. Bu oyunda nedense yapay sesler kullanılmış. Bu sebepten ötürü, silahların neredeyse hiç sekmemesi(warzone a özenilmiş burada ve time to kill süresinde de) vuruş hissiyatını neredeyse hiç vermiyor. Merak ettiğim bir konu var gerçekten. Siz 3 seneden beri ne yaptınız ? 3 senelik bir ürün bu kadar leş olmamalıydı. 3 senede geliştirilen oyunları da iyi biliyoruz. Sanat eseri gibi oyunlar yapılıyor bu süreçte.
    Tüm bu analizleri bir Bf hayranı olarak yaptım bu arada. Cod oyunlarını pek oynamam tarzım değildir fakat denemişliğim var. 2042'de konsept ve vizyon da kesinlikle bana değil. Ben görev yapmasını, squad&takım oyunu oynamasını, strateji kurmasını seven bir bf oyuncusuyum. Eski oyunları seven bir adamın bu oyunu sevmesinin mümkünatı yok. Çünkü ortada elle tutulur bir BATTLEFIELD oyunu yok. Önceden yenilen takıma destekte bulunurdu oyun. Conquest modunda alınan bayrağın önemi vardı. Takıma tank ya da uçak sağlıyordu ekstra. Oyun çok daha stratejikti. Şimdi ondan öte birşey kalmamış. Bu oyuna 2 puan bile fazla. PS5 üzerinden ön siparişimi iptal ettim. Ne zaman EA Access e gelir belki o zaman açıp bir oynarım. 30-40$ 'a satılması gereken bir oyuna asla 70$ para veremem. Çünkü bunu hak eden bir oyun değil.    … Expand

Another thing you should know, this game only has two real game modes, both of which are locked at 128 players on maps that are too big and too empty where so that the only viable way to get kills is with a tank, helicopter, or sniper.

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.

    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.
