    Over time, Battlefield 2042 has become what it should have been on launch day. If you are influenced by reviews, forget them and experience this game just once to understand how an online game should be!

    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.

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

    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.

    After many games in Conquest mode (64 players). I can say with confidence that this is still Battlefield we liked back in the day, which has become better compared to season 1.

    The game feels and plays much better than the same Call of Duty Ground War mode compared to Conquest, but there may be difficulties with Team Deathmatch, since these are just truncated sections of regular Conquest maps, although I'm sure that the players come to Battlefield precisely because of the capture mode and for Team Deathmutch it's Call of Duty mostly. Also, we have an interesting Portal mode that can allow us to play on the maps of past parts with weapons from different eras of Battlefield.

    I think, as some players have said, that you should give this game another chance, especially since season 4 is coming out soon, and this is a good reason to get back into the game and try to play a couple of games.    … Expand

    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.

    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

    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.
