    everything we use to enjoy about BF games has been removed in an attempt for EA to cash in on the little kiddy money. expect the game to soon be flooded with skins

    Absolute trash. Worst BF game I’ve ever played. Highly recommend not to buy. If you did, ask for your money back. The fact that publishers and developers can get away with releasing an unfinished game is pathetic. They’re following in the footsteps of Medal Of Honor. I’d be surprised if this doesn’t kill the franchise.

    I'm not going to waste my time regurgitating what everyone else has said. Go to the subreddit and look at the long list of disappointments this game offers. I'd say check back in 6 months like after the BF4 launch - but there's not a whole lot to salvage.

    Why do we accept games at the price of this with no campaign and rough multiplayer, when Warzone is free? I just can’t believe that EA try this corner cutting again and again and seem to expect a different outcome. Waste of money and effort. I wish they’d sort out a proper battlefield game…

    This game it just, makes me sad…. On every level. It’s wild to me that they have Battlefield 4 as a the perfect blueprint on what mistakes to not make, and the things that worked, yet they take so many steps backwards… I am so disappointed, I really hope the next game in the series can bring it back to its former glory.

    Overall for anyone on the fence, BF2042 is currently not in what i would call a good state. I am speaking from only a few days after launch and it was so frustrating i sold it and brought the pc version instead.

    Thankfully that version is quite playable. Its a shame but im sure with more time in the oven dice can get this fixed but for now i would just avoid this hot mess of an experience!    … 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

Spawning issues, getting locked into games that are already completed, load out issues, not being able to respawn, making it difficult to turn off cross play with PC ( after it was an easy option in beta that was removed), no persistent servers. It's really just too much to recommend this game to anyone. Having to leave 50% of games due to a bug is unacceptable, especially after a beta and a early release time. OP weapons and vehicles can be fixed, but the list of game breaking bugs is just too long at the moment to even get to balancing. I'll give them credit on portal, it seemed to run well the little I played it. Unfortunately I already played those games so I can't really score this game based on games I played 5 years ago… Expand

    I have played around 4,000 hours of battlefield games and around 30 hours with 2042 with early access. I have spent a fair share of my gaming career in these first-person shooters. That being said, I have never, ever seen such a bad game from a technical perspective on launch (Aside from Fallout 76). It's bad guys.

I have spent a fair share of my gaming career in these first-person shooters. That being said, I have never, ever seen such a bad game from a technical perspective on launch (Aside from Fallout 76). It's bad guys. Don't get me wrong, when everything works it's a blast but the number of bugs and issues I run into every single game... It's comical.

    List of bugs I've experienced in my 40 hours so far with this game.

    1.) Your loadout screen wipes and you default to a DMR and you are unable to pick your loadouts. (You can circumvent this by going into the customize screen in the pause menu "Create new Loadout" and you will then be able to play with your new loadout. but this still requires you to redo all your loadout options. (This happens about 8/10 games I've played)
    2.) Breakthrough will simply not let me in. If I launch into the lobby, It will put me in a game but it will not allow me to spawn at all. You are literally stuck on the map. I tried 10 games, I tried resetting my system, I even tried joining friends. All the same result, unable to play.
    3.) Weapon blooming/bullet spread is laughable. I have 8 clips of different circumstances where I got the flank on about 3 enemies, laid an entire clip into them, and nothing. Easily they turned and shot me and won the gunfight. Mind you, im not the best battlefield player but I KNOW when I should be landing my shots. The spread is insane for ARs DO NOT USE THEM. You will lose the majority of your gunfights.
    4.) Anti-air rocket. Taking down helis is a favorite time of mine in this franchise. There are games where all I'll do is take out helis and jets. The amount of glitchy rocket launching I've had is insane. If you fire the rocket too quickly and instantly click the reload button, the "RELOAD" notice on your screen will NOT go away.
    5.) XP and Rewards. There were matches, 45-minute matches, 60 kill games where I received ZERO XP or kill counts to my weapons. Waste of time.
    6.) Weapon attachments. They either disappear or don't actually do anything statistically for recoil patterns or stability. Sometimes. I'd say this Happened about 4/10 games I played.
    7.) The UI is quite possibly the WORST UI I have ever seen in a video game. How the HELL did this get past QA. What director in his right mind thought "MAN THIS IS A GREAT UI." **** man. Its terrible.

    There are more minor issues I've found but none compare to the frustration of these above. Please don't buy this game yet. You'll spend upwards of $70-140 for this game that literally doesn't work OR look as good as it did in the advertisements.

    I'm always finding myself on the hype train for Battlefield games. Because **** man, I love... loved this franchise. This game has incredible potential. The specialists, as much as I was skeptical, I REALLY enjoy them. (Unpopular opinion) Having different playstyles around what you want to do has been a WELCOME addition.

    Save yourself the frustration and wait until you see the community take to the improvements the devs need to make. We are angry.

    If you're new to the franchise or a casual COD player coming over to check it out, welcome to the fam. I hope you will one day see why we love this franchise so much, but right now, you won't. I hate that for you. Some of my favorite experiences in gaming have happened from a battlefield match. I hope this helps some of you. Here's to a better Battlefield future. The only thing we can do is hound the devs to the bugs and issues we are experiencing. But given DICE's previous history, I really do not see all of these gettings fixed till 3-6 months out. It's a shame. Keep your eyes up, guys.    … Expand

    Frame rate issues, weapon bloom is horrible, revive glitches, glitchy spawn menu, a host of in game glitches, on top of that they removed sooo many features from this game it’s ridiculous. I’m gonna stop there because if I keep going I’ll be here all day but needless to say this game crushed my hopes this year for a good battlefield game and honestly unless there is a return to form with the next installment I don’t see myself buying another battlefield game in the future.    … Expand

Original modes of BF 2042 are not playable because of bad balance and awful level design. The only reason to buy this game is BF Portal. But bad optimisation also can spoil your experience in Portal modes.

    The game was re-zoned as the heir to the worm's part, but it's impossible to play it. You can't mark enemies normally, you just don't see them, even when someone nearby is firing at them. The maps are too big, this is a running and death simulator. WHY DON'T JUST UPDATE PART 4 FOR CURRENT GENERATION !!? It will be played more than "IT". I will not return to this game again.

    I have a series x and my friend has Xbox one and I’m forced to play the last gen version of the game to play with him which obviously sucks. The characters that you have to choose from look dumb as hell like they were picked at some woke diversity meeting and not battle hardened war veterans. There is to many people on one map. You can’t take five steps with out being killed. Waste of money

It comes with 3 game modes; conquest, breakthrough and Hazard Zone. Conquest maps are too large, empty and seriously lack destruction making the game feel unlike battlefield. Breakthrough is a mess of people running round like headless chickens and has no squad play what so ever.. Hazard Zone is just a complete waste of a game mode, devoid of any purpose and progression. The game only comes with 7 maps! All designed for scale rather than gameplay. Destruction feels none existent on them and any strategy is pointless as everyone is funnelled into one objective. Vehicles completely dominate the battlefield they take forever to destroy and can quickly kill infantry over and over again. Dont get me started on the hover craft.

    Guns. Battlefield was once known for having an independent class system with a whole arsenal of weapons for each class. Now any "specialist" can use any gun. And there only 23 guns! BF4 released with 84 guns and released more down the line. This lack of weaponry and the addition of "specialists" removes all team play and makes the game feel more like call of duty than battlefield.

    You would expect for a game that comes without a single player would have a tonne of content for the multilayer. But no, for £65 (or more if you brought the special edition) you get 7 maps, 3 game modes and 23 weapons. The gameplay is shocking, weapons don't shoot straight thanks to blooming, hit boxes are broken, some times enemies won't take damage and other times you will miss but still get the kill. I am constantly lagging and rubber banding. There is an insane amount of bugs, wfrom teammates not being displayed as teammates, to animations glitching to being unable to respawn.

    The only good thing about the game is the portal, which again lacks content and doesn't live up to what the devs said it would be. Servers are either full or are being used as XP farms. DICE have not given the battlefield the fans wanted and instead have produced a call of duty on a large scale. Removing or minimising all things that make battlefield battlefield and replacing them with half finished ideas or things taken straight from call of duty. It makes battlefield 5 look like an elite game.

    Positives are portal and the on the go gun customisation which both still come with a load of issues. My advice would be to buy BF3 and/or BF4 as these are the only good thing on BF2042 anyway.    … Expand

Yes there are bugs and server issues that will get ironed out, but it just doesn’t feel like a BF game. The maps are huge and so you end up running around too much. There’s no flow to the maps so you end up wondering where to go next. You either end up in an empty area, or one so full of everyone else it’s impossible to move. Too many tanks/helicopters and seemingly indestructible hovercraft. So much spread of bullets, you could empty a whole clip and maybe have 3 or 4 hits on a guy 20m away.

    The maps themselves are impressively big, but lots of it is just space. For a post-apocalyptic world, it’s very, very clean. No real building damage to speak of. No clue who is a medic or if you will get revived, or even if they will be able to revive you due to bugs. Nowhere to reload ammo from. No score boards. Too many screens that really irritate after a while. No way to choose what map you want to play on. Half the time it’s the same map again and you start almost at the end of a game. Teams get changed at the end of every game, so no friendly rivalry. Cross play seems to be stuck on for Xbox.

    Not enough content. A couple of modes, one of which will be dead in a couple of weeks. Not enough weapons. No longer classes, but ‘specialists’! They cut short BF V support time and extended the dev time and this is what we get? It’s lacking content and not finished.

    I can’t recommend it. I cancelled my pre-order after the beta and have used 10 hours on EA play. I can’t say I regret cancelling. I may buy in 6 to 10 months when the price has dropped and they have fixed things, but then again, I might not. End of an era in my opinion.

    Maybe I'm just getting too old. I've been with the series since Battlefield 1942 on PC, making me one of the players they're trying to placate with their Portal mode.

More on that in a bit, but as for the base game: what on earth is this? I remember people being upset at BF4's launch, which I didn't mind. People were upset at BFV's launch, while I completely enjoyed that iteration start to finish. I don't hate for the sake of it, I love this franchise. This is why it is so painful to admit that I don't foresee playing it for the next several years while I hope for a correctly built game.

    This thing has more bugs than an NYC flophouse, but that isn't what worries me. Bugs are practically a tradition at launch for this series. Instead, the CORE gameplay is destroyed. I'm not sure that's fixable. The maps are 85% wide open space with no cover. This, combined with the abundance of vehicles makes for 5 minutes of straight running each spawn, only to be mowed down by a vehicle. It's not enjoyable even in passing.

    There's no scoreboard which is mind-boggling for an FPS made post-1996. The dissolution of classes in favor of specialists may work for tweens and monetization, but it destroys the traditional experience. Everyone is now a one-man-army and whatever teamwork existed is gone. 'Army of One' didn't last long as a slogan for the US Army, maybe it'll fizzle here as well.

    4/5 of the guns are ineffective at any range. Since there are only 22 to begin with, that essentially means there are only four usable weapons. So much for variety. Many classic Battlefield features are missing. Incoming medic indicators are gone. So are squad cameras when deploying. Or a map you can see at deployment. Or fortifications. Or suppression. Or, oh yeah, SCORING. There are no points and no scoreboard to put them on anyway. It's "Whose Line is It Anyway" with hovercrafts.

    The Portal mode is a nice thought, but feels closer to an afterthought. Map selection is 2 maps per game, not enough to keep sufficient variety for those attempting to escape the root-canal-like main game experience. The 2 points out of 10 I'm awarding this game are for the thought of at least putting Portal into the game. That said, Portal is to classic battlefield what a splash of gin in a bottle of Dasani is to a gin & tonic. Not quite right and heavily watered down.

Since the game launched it has been plagued with “error loading persistent data” messages. Despite all my best efforts I haven’t been able to solve this issue. I found that the time of day determines whether or not you will get into the game from the main screen. If you try to login at 1am you might get it, however anything much later than that you might as well give up. I figured dice would make it a priority to fix this issue but the latest patch didn’t address it at all. That is perhaps the most frustrating part for me is even when I want to play, the game has other plans. Furthermore the game for the most part it is total trash. The maps are large which I like, but they are mostly open and when you get caught you are absolutely screwed. If you don’t have a tank or a helicopter your odds of survival are miniscual. The graphics at least on the Xbox one, leave something to be desired as well. Comparatively the graphics from BF4 are leaps and bounds ahead of 2042 which is saying something. The game play is prohibitive to getting large numbers of kills due to the fact that it is so open, lack of cover and places to be make to difficult to move around and find people. This game was clearly rushed, and I feel like a fool for buying it. Don’t waste your time and hard earned money, it’s simply not worth it, I myself may go out and purchase a gallon of paint to splash against the wall and watch dry instead.

    And to that, there is a ton of ugly things.
    Impossible to disable crossplay without editing Xbox system preferences (yep, there is an option in game, but you can't edit the value, it stick to the system default value. Great).
    Impossible to find a specific game mode or map. There is no server list, which means you can only pray to find a game in a gamemode you like or a map you like.
    There is no matchmaking, which means once your game is done, you're back at the main menu and you need to start another game on your own (spoiler alert : you're most likely gonna end up on the same map just done, happens a lot).
    Impossible to track how good or bad you're doing in your game as there is absolutely no scoreboard (on a competitive game. What a nice idea)

    They got rid of the amazing class system going on for a "specialist" allowing you to combine every single possibility between equipment, weapons, abilities. This end up in every one playing the same specialist as some are really overpowered. And as they can use anything alongside, there is no "counterpart" to it.
    Squad space is still limited to 4 while 5 persons in a squad was an absolut blast.
    Maps are empty, with almost no destruction elements.

    They wanted to celebrate Battlefield. All they did is remove what is making Battlefield what it is, to add some stupid grappling hook, tornados and wingsuit.    … Expand

    It truly baffles me how far off the mark this game is from being what everyone expected.

    I expected an experience reminiscent of BF4: being one among dozens of nameless soldiers, locked in dispassionate conflict taking place on a landscape that was indiscriminately chosen to be the victim of the ravages of war.

    Feeling truly immersed in a world stricken by poverty, natural catastrophes, and high inter-governmental tensions.

    Keeping with the integrity and foundation of BF4 - war adornments (ribbons & medals), extensive customization (tangible & cosmetic), distinct and iconic roles and playstyles (assault, engineer, medic, sniper).

    The feeling of cooperative embrace, of being one team fighting for each other's survival.

    What I got: a pitiful amalgamation of the most marketable and fast-paced, eSports-esque attributes of Apex Legends, Rainbow Six: Siege and CoD: Warzone.

    Right away, playing the beta made me realize how much of a misrepresentation the official trailer was.

    It's an ongoing, frantic frenzy of ants on a picnic blanket, running huge stretches by foot while all the vehicles are currently away partying on the top-floor penthouses of skyscrapers. It's basically a cross-country running simulator most of the time while the dysfunctional drivers and pilots steal a helicopter at the start of the round to go on a leisure tour the whole game. It shouldn't be that hard to manufacture or purchase dirtbikes or quads en mass in 2042.

    Quirky, superfluous 'specialists' that crack cringy corn-ball quips at the end of the round like, "That was fun," or, "I'm just better than everyone else!", completely dismissing the harsh atmosphere and aesthetic that the initial cutscene paints. That's the kind of flaunty animation sequence you'd see in... perhaps... a battle royale game? I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing first place do the [insert viral physical motion here] at the ends of rounds in the next couple of months. Am I playing Battlefield or Apex Legends?

    I hate seeing a group of identical clones running around while I try desperately to cling onto the tiniest sense of realism or familiarity. This was an issue that others may feel indifferent about. To me, after being subject to this "hero shooter" direction for the past several years, it's the last thing this game needs.

    It's a haphazard mess with several discrepancies and misplaced decisions, flat out lacking many emblematic facets of Battlefield (or ANY triple-A FPS title, for that matter) such as a scoreboard, squad switching, classes, and more.

    What's with this whole No-Pat freedom fighter militia - mind you, with no actual basis or story (R.I.P. campaigns in games) - but then it's just the typical USA vs. Russia trope again?

    Conquest (one of **** two available game modes) is an endless series of frustrating and hectic interactions with soldiers and vehicles, including but not limited to: missing hit registers, sporadic fire patterns, nondescript vehicle damage, inconsistent and poorly designed driving & piloting mechanics.

    The number of bugs, coding mistakes, balancing issues and content voids will probably result in a patch timeline that competes with even those of No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 because clearly, EA's focus was on "making a game meant to sell, not to play. (~Mr Nobody)"

    I've seen people say they still have hopes for the game's potential.

    The thing is, these aren't issues that can be solved with a 12 to 20-month service life like we thought would solve our complaints of BFV.

    These are inherent creative decisions that go completely against what a Battlefield game is, and would require a literal re-design of most of the game itself.

    There is an utter lack of variety and things to do in the game. I feel like I'm playing a $30 Kickstarter game that got popular on Twitch.

    Battlefield 2042 is just so clearly the outcome of the executive imbeciles at EA believing battle royales are still the absolute formula for good game design, completely overruling any one person's desire to remain faithful to an authentic Battlefield experience.

    There are so many things that they got wrong... the way helicopters behave, the limited gameplay variety, the questionable issues latent in the settings menu, the confusing and unfulfilling weapon & vehicle progression, the unbalanced nature of combat, and more.

    I'm just really disappointed.    … Expand

    Battlefield 2077: Hovercraft Edition:
    I wanted to like it, but it's getting more and more obvious that DICE only wanted a cash-grab. As guys like this usually do, they lied and manipulated the public perception in order to maximize their profits. This was never intended to be a good game, it was intended to print money.

Thats about the only positive thing i have to say. Where do i begin? Lack of guns, lack of customization, NO SCOREBOARD ?? Console players cannot even see the simple stats that PC players can like kills and deaths while in game. Ridiculous. The Hit registration and TTK are extremely unpredictable, theres only 6 maps and it feels like you only play Manifest 24/7. I cannot believe what kind of state this game was released in. DICE and EA should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. The game industry HAS to stop letting games release in states like this. We paid money for a working, finished product.… 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.
