    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

This is the equivalent of creating a band called the beetles and proceeding to only release podcasts about Ron DeSantis… Expand

    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.

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

    This is the latest in a string of questionable decisions DICE have been making over the past few years.

Somehow the longtime Battlefield developer managed to completely miss the fact that gamers simply don't appreciate their big, triple-A shooters not having a single-player campaign, despite the backlash their first entry into the rebooted Battlefront series and EA's other significant FPS franchise Titanfall received for that very reason, so here we are with another multiplayer only title. This is coming right on the heels of their Battlefront II microtransaction controversy and them telling people if they didn't like the lack of historical accuracy in Battlefield V to not buy it, which ended up being advice everybody happily took (LOL!). That "half a game" mentality many are going to be walking into this with may just be the least of the studio's problems however, as those who do take the plunge will notice plenty of technical shortcomings and a shocking lack of anything innovative enough to truly justify the purchase over continuing to play one of the series' older entries instead. I wasn't expecting to find the most polished version of the game here on what is now considered to be an outdated model of Xbox, but they still could have done a better job. On top of a plethora of weird visual anomalies and glitches, the graphics are dated with blurry textures that often struggle to load in. 2042 also runs into an issue similar to the one Call of Duty: Ghosts had when it tried to simultaneously create an experience that fully took advantage of the capabilities of next gen consoles, while also providing a lesser port that catered to the limitations of older hardware in an effort to cash in on as wide an audience as possible. Which is to say owners of the Series X or PS5 get to partake in massive 128 player battles, whereas those without are stuck in matches only half that size. This leads to some of the larger maps feeling barren at points, which can prove frustrating given how long it takes you to trek to where the action has moved when you don't have access to a vehicle. On the flip side though there are the locations where it seems like if anybody else joined everything would devolve into a giant clustermuck, so maybe neither option has the advantage.

    While I've heard a lot of complaints about it, I personally loved the new UI. I have always complained in the past about how so many of Battlefield's important systems like loadout customization have been hidden in a mess of unattractive, obtuse menus. So the way all of this once difficult to decipher information is now presented in a manner that's easy to comprehend and allows me to swap out equipment and weapon attachments between respawns or even mid-combat with little to no trouble is a huge improvement in my eyes. It's a shame that's the sole area where the experience takes a step forward. The core action is undeniably familiar to a fault. There are two new modes, "Hazard Zone" and "Portal." The former of which plays out a lot like "Plunder" from Warzone and is ultimately skippable, while the latter actually shows a lot of potential with its ability for players to create matches with custom rulesets and content taken from fan favorite classics such as Bad Company 2. It's not enough to save the package, but is actually something I would like to see come back expanded in the inevitable next sequel.

    As nice as the upgraded, streamlined interface and nostalgia-laden user creation mechanics are, 2042 doesn't offer the necessary amount of original ideas to legitimately validate its existence as worthy of your time over any of its predecessors. I think it's telling that the most fun I had with it was playing with the reused material from 1942. What's worse is that it feels like this is only the case because it was rushed out in an incomplete state before anything substantial could come from it in order to fulfill some bogus regular release requirements or to compete/keep up with the latest Call of Duty. This would explain the lack of expected features (campaign) and highlights how milking a property long after the inventiveness of its creators has run out leads to mediocre products that ultimately drive away the audience it once profited on.    … 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.

    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.
