    The amount of bugs in this game outnumber the human population. DICE can happily swallow my cum instead of "fixing" the game

    Honest 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!!!

    Compared 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

    Absolutely the worst battlefield game and I’ve been a long time fan since the desert combat mod released for bf1942.

Thank god EA has a free trial, after my abrams went from 4th gear to zero when hitting wood hut, I realized there was absolutely nothing to see or enjoy in this pathetic excuse of a game. This is the equivalent of creating a band called the beetles and proceeding to only release podcasts about Ron DeSantis… Expand

    The game is not finished, completely feels rushed. Much work is needed in order to make it below average. Right now game deserves a negative score.

    Three months post launch and it's still a huge mess. There's still glaring bugs that would be caught by a drunken QA team.

    Worst battlefield I’ve ever played. So far from what we expected. The game is broken in a million different ways. The developers are in over their heads. Top to bottom from the game play to the sounds effects… it’s awful. I could go on and on, they simply ruined it. Another failed launch, which is really common lately in the gaming world. It’s robbery.

    I don't think there's one thing EA and DICE could've done to make this game any more disasterous than it turned out. Even after 2 months, it is still in a messy state. But during rare occasions when everything is working smooth enough, it's just not exciting to play at all. The maps are boring, the gunplay is horrible, there's no campaign, the progression is too slow, classes are replacedI don't think there's one thing EA and DICE could've done to make this game any more disasterous than it turned out.

The maps are boring, the gunplay is horrible, there's no campaign, the progression is too slow, classes are replaced with useless "specialists" with cringy one-liners and the new Hazard Zone extraction royale is pathetic and nearly dead already. Ironically the one good mode is Battlefield Portal, but only because there are custom maps that replicate older entries, and it feels more like classic Battlefield than the new Conquest. This may not be the worst game of 2021, but it sure was the biggest letdown for many.… Expand

    Played over the weekend during xbox free play days, as someone who plays the battlefield series regularly, this game does not feel like a battlefield game.

There is no incentive for team work and Battlefield portal is good addition but not enough to salvage this disaster of a game! I can overlook not having a campaign, but paying retail hardly justifies this game, if this game was free, I would take back my criticism and maybe this game could be a solid 7! As an old school gamers, modern monetization in gaming has completely sucked out the soul of this game!… Expand

    Let's see.....DUMPSTER FIRE. First of all, the shooting mechanics suck. I don't know how many times I have had an enemy in my sights at point blank range, fired off success shots that all missed and then the target kills me with a single shot.
    Secondly, glitching when running, moving forward then being dragged back to where I started or not moving and being bounced 100 feet away.    Let's see.....DUMPSTER FIRE.

    Thirdly, the stupid vapid comments from your character after a battle. WTF is up with that. I expected to be playing Battlefield not Overwatch or Fortnite.
    Being bounced from a game for no reason and having to start a new match again. There are just so many bad things happening that playing is not fun, it's frustrating. It got so bad I finally asked for and got a refund.    … Expand

    Doesn’t feel like a Battlefield game at all. The flagship Conquest mode, now with 128 players has no play structure or tactical bearing involved. You’re either out in no man’s land with no one around doing nothing, or caught up in a COD style free-for-all Zerg cluster f*** with no ability to be tactical or influence the outcome. Getting bumped off from every angle and axis half of the timeDoesn’t feel like a Battlefield game at all.

You’re either out in no man’s land with no one around doing nothing, or caught up in a COD style free-for-all Zerg cluster f*** with no ability to be tactical or influence the outcome. Getting bumped off from every angle and axis half of the time when you spawn in the fight. It’s also a very poorly balanced game when it comes to game mode population and most vehicles, weapons plus the stupidest idea to have character personalities that are ‘customised’, instead of original classes and loadouts? Other issues include: poor kill notification, ridiculous looking post-match ‘avatar clone line up’, a confusing and unclear round reward and gear unlock system - makes the game wholly unrewarding and left feeling like you’ve achieved nothing, regardless of how you performed. It’s like DICE were so focused on getting 128 player on a single map and taking on COD - that they didn’t bother considering much else? A real example of ‘caught in your own soundbox’ development here.

    Stop trying to rip-off other games’ ideas, and get back to what used to make BF the best shooters of all time. I’ve played every BF starting in 2002, and I’ve never once felt the need to write a poor review. But sadly and with no exaggeration: this could be the worst one so far. Good job I played a trial for 10 hours and didn’t waste my money beforehand, this is the ONLY BF game in franchise history that I have not purchased. I’m giving it a 1/10 for the inclusion of the legacy game modes - which is a nice touch - but unfortunately they are so unpopulated you can’t get a good match going.

    BF Vietnam, BF2, Bad Company 2 and BF4 were utterly superb - take another look at what made those outstanding - and get back to the basics!    … Expand

    Battlefield 2042 is DICE’s most average Battlefield yet, one that despite boasting two new modes to discover in Hazard Zone and Battlefield Portal, clearly forgot about the core of the experience. With some weird design decisions, plenty of bugs, and more crashes than a destruction derby; the future of Battlefield, this is not. It’s still fun, but we hoped for so much more.
