    Another big AAA release in 2021… and ANOTHER HUGE DUMPSTER FIRE. Terrible performance, politically correct inclusions, awful maps, questionable servers. I genuinely can’t think of anything good to say about this game, I know some people enjoy BF portal but all that did for me was help illustrate just how bad modern BF is compared to even BF4.

    The new part of Call of Duty: Battlefield 2042 is very bad...
    From the classic series, only a small piece remains - this is Portal.

    I have been enjoying the game on my PS5 yes there have been bugs but luckily for me I have only had minor bugs. I am aware that some people are having a far worse experience than me.

    BF3 remains the last good BF release. Since its part of the Portal mode, its also the best part of this game, together with Bad Company 2, but the bad hit detection and overall technical state even destroy this experience. And not only is this a buggy mess, also the design choices are really bad. Specialist destroy the classic BF gameplay. DON'T BUY IT.

    BF3 остается последним хорошим выпуском BF. Так как это часть режима Portal, это также лучшая часть этой игры вместе с Bad Company 2, но обнаружение плохих ударов и общее техническое состояние даже разрушают этот опыт. И это не только беспорядок с ошибками, но и очень плохой выбор дизайна. Специалист разрушает классический игровой процесс BF. НЕ ПОКУПАЙТЕ ЭТО.    … Expand

    1) Poor registration of hits, I didn't really understand how to shoot in this game, perhaps there is an element of randomness in the shooting.
    2) There is no server list, you are forced to play on the maps on which you were thrown. In portal you can join an almost finished game, and in the main all-out warfare mode you sometimes wait for the server to fill up.

    2) There is no server list, you are forced to play on the maps on which you were thrown. In portal you can join an almost finished game, and in the main all-out warfare mode you sometimes wait for the server to fill up.
    3) There is no table to view the kills / deaths / ping of other players, at best you can calculate your KD (you can see the kills / help / captures of the players of your squad, or the general statistics of another squad, i.e. competitiveness is removed).
    4) I am glad that in all modes there is a store tab, otherwise I was afraid not to find it (just kidding).
    5) Huge TTK, it is impossible to shoot two people, they overwhelm the mass.
    6) Too long pumping, you need to kill 360 people in order to open all the modules for weapons, moreover, it became more difficult to kill people due to the large mode, earlier it was possible to fill in the superiority and clash of teams. The task for the skill skin (red-black skin) is unrealistic, you need to kill 1200 people with grenades or treat 2400 people with a Falki pistol.
    7) Huge maps, you need to run 1 km to get to another point (in the next sector)
    8) There is no pumping on the servers in the portal, the level is pumped only in the recommended section.
    1) Плохая регистрация попаданий, не особо понял, как стрелять в этой игре, возможно в стрельбе присутствует элемент случайности.
    2) Нет списка серверов, ты вынужден играть на картах, на которые тебя закинули. В portal можешь присоединиться к почти законченной игре, а в основном режиме all-out warfare иногда ждешь, когда заполнится сервер.
    3) Нет таблицы чтобы посмотреть убийства/смерти/пинг других игроков, в лучшем случае можешь посчитать свое KD (можно посмотреть убийства/помощи/захваты игроков своего отряда, либо общую статистику другого отряда, т.е. убрана соревновательность).
    4) Радует, что во всех режимах есть вкладка магазин, а то боялся не найти (шутка).
    5) Огромный TTK, невозможно перестрелять двух человек, они перелавливают массой.
    6) Слишком долгая прокачка, нужно убить 360 человек, чтобы отрыть все модули на оружие, притом убивать людей стало сложнее из-за большого режима, раньше можно было набить в превосходстве и схватке команд. Задание на скин мастерства (красно-черный скин) выполнить нереально, нужно убить 1200 человек с гранат или полечить 2400 человек с пистолета Фальки.
    7) Огромные карты, нужно бежать 1 км, чтобы добраться до другой точки (в следующем секторе)
    8) Отсутствует прокачка на серверах в portal, прокачивается уровень только в разделе рекомендуемое.    … Expand

    With a lot of the core battlefield mechanics lacking from my gameplay experience over the weekend. I have to give this a 4. I think visually the game is stunning, looks amazing. But the overall battlefield experience is just not there. Feels a lot more like a arcade shooter then a battlefield game.

    A major drop in quality. Has none of the soul or emotion usually associated with a BF game. This feels like a cartoon battle royal clone aimed at 7-12 year olds who want to spend mums cash on player skins.

There’s 64 players on your team and no voice chat for squads or a voice chat for all squad leads to coordinate strategic plays. The guns are just meh and there’s only 22. The maps are okay I guess. Conquest is a boring game mode since it’s too big. Most of the time you are running back forth to objectives to capture and then retracing steps without barely seeing anymore. Breath through is the better game mode but can be crazy with the constant spawn killing and some maps have impossible objectives to capture. Portal is fun but there is no progression which kinda sucks but it’s definitely the best section of the game. Haven’t even tried the battle royale stuff but I heard it’s not worth the time. I wish I would have done the trial instead of cashing out $100 to play early for a game I’ll probably get over before the actual launch date on the 19th. This game needs updates and help fast… Expand

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?

    Battlefield 2042 is something new, something unexpected and most of all a waste of money.

    What could we expect from the next Battlefield? Many might have been hoping for that next gen improvement with greater graphic fidelity and sound. Some would maybe hope for an evolution in the immersive movement from Battlefield V going to the next level. Moments like being knocked to the ground from the shockwave of a nearby explosion, or the traversal of the environment reaching for high ledges in the rubble of some blown out building.

    But what did we end up getting?

    None of the above.

    Battlefield 2042 lacks any soul. It takes many steps back on the series previous improvement and adds things no one wanted.

    Maps are too large and have many empty areas. Great if you are looking to run for 5 minutes at the beginning of the match to the objective. No cover, nothing of interest. The maps also feel empty and are devoid of any story of war and or the life that was there before.

    The new specialists seem like they were meant for a battle royale game. Was that what this game was going to be? They just don’t work well in the game and matches devolve into people not waiting to be revived because whose the medic?

    Right now the aiming and bullet spread is really off. Ever wanted to drop into the battlefield and outline the enemy with bullets? Well you can do that in BF2042.

    The sound design doesn’t represent Dice’s best. I have always loved the sound design and putting the War Tapes sound on. This just sounds lacklustre.

    The weapon selection is lacking in the main mode. The promise of a ton of weapons is within portal.

    Portal is cool and could have potential especially if gets greatly expanded. However when the best of your game is playing old maps with new polish, than what does that say about 2042?

    Hazard Zone ain’t that fun and needs many changes and better design to be more interesting. Not to mention it should be the one mode that maybe gets free to play… yes call of duties warzone has its issues but that game has a ton of players. Hazard zone is looking to be BFV’s battle royale mode that was DOA.

    I can’t recommend this game. It’s disappointing and shouldn’t be released like an early access game. People who love these games will give it a pass because yes there can be fun to had. But letting Dice rest on what came before shouldn’t be allowed it’s not good for the consumer.

    We need someone new to innovate. A lot of these new games are broken messes at launch and aren’t offering any real innovation and excitement. We can’t all just blame the pandemic, these games take years and these poor decisions didn’t happen in the last year and a half. Save your money and support better games that respect you and give you something new. We expected something new and exciting and got well something new, boring and broken.    … Expand

    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.
