    ахуенная, огромная игра, гигантские карты, масштаб, при этом соблюдается динамичность, попадаешь постоянно в стычки, нету получасовой езды от точки до точки. эта игра заслуживает большего рейтинга тут

    la jugabilidad y movilidad son de las mejores que las de bf v y es algo importante no sentir tan pesado el personaje, tambien los mapas son gigantescos me gustan, los eventos climáticos y devastadores hacen que una partida nunca sea igual y esto si es muy innovador, y las batallas a gran escala se sienten como si estuvieras en una guerra real o película, lo que no me gusto es que no hayan agregado mas jugadores en esta versión de xbox one aunque sean unos 20 o 15 mas jugadores me hubiera encantado, pero supongo que es entendible por que es old gen, aunque en warzone se puede jugar con 150, pero es otro juego, para la gente que no le gusto la version de xone entiendan que es old gn, pero bueno la verdad me sorprendió como salió el juego final y era lo que esperaba en un principio.
    Definitivamente me voy a comprar- este juego- va redimir a la saga y que buen trabajo hicieron los de DICE y EA espero que no cambien su mentalidad en los siguientes años.

    Looks awful loading in the building look worst than some of the older games the fact you have a pre made character that you can't really change things about with them.. If you got a single character that you have free range with and can customise however you like it would be alot better

    Needs some adjustments but plays way better than the Series X version. I went from top tier on Xbox one and not even low average on Series X because of different controls and pc players.

    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

This Tarkov style in Battlefield is great. I love this game mode... when it works. We spent an hour trying to find a 4th member to join because everytime a 4th joined, they left and we got stuck in the que once more. This Game mode mixes AI Bots with players similiar to how pubg plays. I feel this gane isn't worth the $60, especially missing things like a campaign which would be fine but, it really seems like that time didn't go into the game with how it's currently released.

    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

    They want you to "just have fun and not worry about competing" because competing is "toxic" which is just another new word for what they think is "immoral" because they are all Marxist activists over at DICE

    Imagine a soccer game, and how many people would watch if they just didnt keep score but said "just have fun" and at the end "both teams win! lets hug!"

    Its a complete woke joke... its like Battlefield 5 "if you dont like it dont buy it.. my 13 year old daughter spoke to me and she said scores are toxic and I listened" situation all over again.    … 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.

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

    They’ve literally downgraded battle field. Getting rid of classes is one of the worst things they could have done. Not to mention this game is beyond bugged, to the point of being unplayable. I don’t understand why they would even release it in this state. The only reason would be to compete with call of duty.

    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.
