    This is no longer a battlefield, it feels like a copy of CoD that someone stole. Tested on Ps5, Xbox Series S & X and PC

    Dice ruined this franchise. I am extremely disappointed that the way they treated us games like 2nd hand garbage then started to blame other games for their flop. It has fun moments though.

    One of the worst multiplayer shooters ever made. The worst game Dice has ever made. Horrible spawns, everyone runs around and bunny hops like gerbils, The net code is so bad it feels like you take 2 shots yet it takes half a mag to kill someone. You shoot your gun once and everyone knows your location. The teams are always so unbalanced that one team almost always steamrolls the other. TheOne of the worst multiplayer shooters ever made.

    Después de Battlefield 1 y Battlefront 2, no entiendo como Dice ha podido lanzar esto: Roto, lleno de fallos visuales y poco inspirado. Sin modo campaña, con un multijugador con mapas ridiculamente grandes y mal diseñados. Una decepción en todos los aspectos.

    Ignore all the EA fanboys that are saying the game is playable. Both EA fanboys and DICE can happily swallow my cum.

    Like BF5 this game has a lot of potential to be a great and fun game. The gun play is great and it's as chaotic as every pervious BF game. It's just a shame that the game is moving into a wrong direction, by removing core features that make a battlefield game a battlefield game, and trying to monetize the game instead of focussing on what players really want.

For example mediocre gun customization. Specialist in place of a proper class system, which have been part of basically every BF game. No infantry only maps, thin on content like maps, vehicles guns. And the list goes on...
    I downloaded the game because it's part of of xbox's game pass, would I have paid the full price, I would have been very disappointed. With BFV and BF2042 moving towards a different direction I think the franchise is losing a lot of BF fans, including me. So I will keep playing BF4 for as long as the few servers are available.    … Expand

    DICE should be so ashamed. I paid $100 for this piece of **** and it was so bad I had to uninstall after a couple weeks. I'll never even start the battle passes I purchased and I'll never pre-order from DICE ever again.

    I do really like the new plus system, some of the new operator abilities like the grapple, and the graphics (sometimes) are incredible, but the little good there is, is surrounded in **** It is worth noting however, that they are improving it. Unfortunately, by the time it's good, the net Battlefield will probably be released.    … Expand

    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 honestly one of the worst games I have had the displeasure of playing. Good thing the trial is free.
    Most of the things either don’t work at all or are seriously glitched out.
    Getting stuck in the environment, fps issues. Flickering screens left and right. Packet bursts and lag galore. I thought Cod Vanguard was bad, but BF2042 takes the cake.
    Specialists? What is this this, overwatch?

    Battlefield is one of the best video games ever. The series has a good streak till this one. Battlefield 2042 is one of the worst games, it is not even better then Battlefield 3. EA and Dice have been doing a great job at the series for a very long time. There is a huge gap so maybe this is the game. Nope! So many features missing like Voice chat.

    What do i even say here? This game is a catastrophic implosion of poor decisions across the board. To hear EA saying they actually believed it was in a playable state come launch, when we all told them during the beta it was nigh unplayable is laughable. To this day the game is a broken mess.

You'll be lucky if hit registration is the worst of it, the game struggles to even exist at most times. Weapon balancing is also laughable. The maps are massive swathes of empty nothingness with the odd structure here and there. The worst design choice in this entire game has to be the Specialists. DICE's attempt to make a cash printer a la CoD and R6:S's Operators. The Specialists completely and utterly destroy everything that is battlefield. Teamwork is out the window thanks to their introduction, map control based on class/vehicle makeup is also completely out the window.
    This game is a stain upon Battlefields legacy and marks the death throe of the declining franchise.    … Expand

    Destruction is still cool, and in the end I have to give the creators credit for the fact that the much marketing-washed akedo has its moments. Everything else that made a good Battlefield is completely missing, and that chase for record-breaking size or player count is really a poor substitute for well-designed maps, rich content in the form of game modes, and certainly no substitute for the original class system that the gameplay has always relied on in the first place.

    Battlefield 2042 is a huge disappointment for gamers and the Battlefield franchise. Had this been the product of an indie developer, then this might be a different story as it would be understandable how a game like this could be the product of an independent studio that doesn’t have enormous corporate backing. Instead, EA pumped more resources into creating a CGI film that acts as the only real source of storyline context than ensuring the game was going to live up to the enormous amount of hype they were trying to create. I hate saying such negative things in my reviews, but when a game developer can’t be bothered to even try and live up to it’s own legacy, then I have to call it as I see it and for that very reason, I don’t recommend this game. Not even the nostalgia or temptation of ‘Battlefield Portal’ is enough to save this game from itself.

    Battlefield 2042 absolutely should have been pushed back by EA and DICE to some point in 2022. Instead, the version of this game that is currently available has been virtually unplayable for me at times since first releasing. Even beyond this, though, some of the key design changes that DICE has made in Battlefield 2042 don't feel for the better. Rather than improving on the core Battlefield experience that fans loved with Battlefield 3, 4, or Bad Company 2, 2042 is a bloated husk of its former self that is trying to recapture some semblance of its previous glory. As a fan that has been playing this series for well over a decade, Battlefield 2042 is a massive disappointment that I struggle to think is even worth saving.
