    While the game is somewhat unbalanced, it is incredible fun. Have not enjoyed a multiplayer game this much in years

    Portal alone is a dream. It needs a little more polish but it runs pretty smooth with almost no bugs on PS5 already, just a few glitches here and there. Best launch I remember of a Battlefield.

    I’m completely hooked. This is the most fun I’ve had with a multiplayer game in ages. The battles are epic. Every objective has players attacking and defending at pretty much all time, and the high player count results in so many epic moments. It’s awesome seeing the frontlines form and having 20 v 20 battles across lines in multiple places on the map at the same time.

    So awesome seeing 20+ enemies charging an objective and trying to hold them back with your squad. Explosions ripping in the background as a plane crashes nearby and the heavy armor comes rolling in. This game is the a game trailer factory line, with high intensity battles going on nonstop.

    I love flying the transport in and changing the tide of battle as my teammates spawn in on a flank and take a key objective. There’s really nothing like this game, an absolutely top notch experience.    … Expand

    Besides the expected server errors at launch, Battlefield 2042 has been a great experience for me this weekend. Some of the guns need adjusted, especially the Assault Rifles needing buffed a little, but other than that it's been great. Playing with modern day soldiers and weapons on battlefields of the past and some of the created games in portal have been awesome. on battlefields

    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.

    Best battlefield launch to date. There are some bugs here and there but nothing too game breaking. People complain about the specialist system without ever playing the game. Overall I am having a blast with this game. Would buy again

    No jokes new Battlfield game has lots of bugs, incl servers issues, hits registration, glitches etc

    As a fan of BF series I enjoy the game. Period. Class system is on the board, actually it is a mix of class system plus specialist’s system, That is true, It is a path away from BF basics but specialists’ perks give more tactical abilities on a battle ground, which cause much more fun    No jokes new Battlfield game has lots of bugs, incl servers issues, hits registration, glitches etc

    Class system is on the board, actually it is a mix of class system plus specialist’s system,
    That is true, It is a path away from BF basics but specialists’ perks give more tactical abilities on a battle ground, which cause much more fun moments at the game,

    Actually we have to stress BF 2042 has the best sound design we’ve ever heard,
    Music, ambient, gunfire sound very satisfying - there are lot of in common with Hans Zimmer minimalistic style, sound scene is a great work for DICE’s composers,

    Also, the Visual scenes is beautiful too - there are some moments let you feel like you are at Michael Bay movie, it is very encouraging,

    What I really hate, that’s the voices of specialists, it totally breaks game’s narrative, no need in improvements, DICE please just cut the voices off, or give us the option to switch it off at least,

    Also I am not OK with bloom mechanics and random bullet spread, sometimes lucky bullet spread is really frustrating,

    At the end, after 8 days continuously playing BF 2042 and at the 51 level, I wish to say DICE/EA have done good job,

    That’s true, It far away from polish work, it’s far away from BF classic formula, but still it the greatest shooter with tons of fun right know,

    I understand the most negative reviews are coming from the bad optimisation of the game, on the 3060 you have barely 50-60 fps on ultra, so you have to reduce graphics setting, plus 128 players are big amount for mediocre processors,

    On the PS5 the game feels much more satisfying, it performs 55-60 fps at 4k (waiting for accurate digital foundry tests), which is sold result,

    I would put here 8/10, But considering here are a lot of negativity from people who hasn’t ever played this game, I just make it 10,

    DICE please, fix all qns community is asking for:
    - cut off cringe voices
    - return back the scoreboard
    - server fix and hit registration issues
    - more optimisation to rich stable fps
    - weapon bloom/lucky spread

    As for maps I do not understand current negativity,
    There are spots for close range battle, for middle and higher ranges at every map,

    It is not a DOOM game, It is Battlfield formula to make you walk for 10 minutes plus - before you die, and DICE’s task was to make it fun,
    And actually I have the fun    … Expand

There is variety in specialists abilities, maps are freaking AMAZING, gunplay is fast and responsive though it needs some fixing (bloom/hit detection). Feels great to be dropped with another 60 something guys from the choppers and just rush for objectives. I like the summon vehicles system as well, nice addition. Assault Rifles are a bit underpowered, that also needs fixing soon, but other than that, I'm having so much fun, it's big step forward in regards to lackluster BFV. Give it a shot with a trial and see for yourself. This is nowhere as bad as people paint it with these dumb bug compilations lol.… Expand

    Early access level 34

    Awesome game. Content overload. Hazard Zone is extremely fun. Only problem is Hazard Zone’s load times sometimes takes ages, they need to not kick players in queue and to give us the ability to see how many players have joined. 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    Early access level 34

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.    … Expand

    Это лучший Battlefield в который я играл!!! Графика,физика,звук,атмосфера войны на высоте. Не понимаю почему люди занижают оценку этой игре. Я не встретил ни одной проблемы в игре, играю на PS5. Игроков в Battlefield 2042 много, загрузка серверов быстрая. Возможно проблема в том что у людей очень слабый PC и они не могут запустить Battlefield 2042.Это лучший Battlefield в который я играл!!!

    After several updates, this game is good now. You should give it a try! Graphics are nice, new weapons and characters give more options to player. After playing mw2 for weeks and getting back to battlefield, I can say that I enjoy bf 2042 than mw2.

    Бету они конечно выпустили позорную, но BF2042 явно не заслуживает ревью-бомбинга.
    Все версии BF выходили недоделанными, и тут, к сожалению, не исключение.
    Но на PS5 игра работает отлично, баги есть, но их немного. Графика огонь, каналы Ноушехра загляденье. Видно что были огромные ресурсы в нее вложены, зачем столько хейта?    Бету они конечно выпустили позорную, но BF2042 явно не заслуживает ревью-бомбинга.

    Probably the best FPS game of the decade, epic scale battles with beautiful graphics, optimization isn't great but this will probably be fixed after launch, and this is the game's review, not the review of it's launch.

    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]
