Battlefield 2042

Ok so every game launch is messy especially this one lots of bugs lots of missing features and lots of hit registration issues the main problem though is it seems kinda lifeless even with the new 128 players the some of the maps are too large the larger maps all the players just do there own thing so here you are traveling alone to the nearest objective i believe that later on it will change a lot i mean they even said that there will be a major update soon I personally want more chaos more explosions more life so thats it dont take the bad reviews into consideration because this games gonna change a lot bf4 was like this at launch only one other review said that so yeah thats my review.

We all know that Battlefield 2042 was a huge disappointment when it was first released back in October 2021. To be fair it has been improved in the past year with loads of bugs being patched and some new updates such as new movement, new maps and many more needed changes. One of the disappointing things about this game is the fact it has no campaign which could of had so much potential. It could have even gone into more detail about the refugee crisis and what it is like to live in that universe during those events. One of the great aspects of this game is the ground warfare which can be so immersive it could keep you hooked for hours and with new guns, skins and vehicle styles there is always something new for you to unlock. I actually really like the style they have gone for with this game such as the futuristic vehicles and gadgets, I actually think it's quite unique compared to other games that are set in the near future with there laser guns and robot suits it just doesn't feel believable but Battlefield 2042 does because of the situation with climate change, the guns, the soldiers and the vehicles it just feels more real compared to those over games. If you have a PlayStation, Xbox or PC and you are looking for an immersive action packed game with beautiful graphics this is the one for you.

Plot

In the near future the world has entered a set of constant chaos with a massive immigration crisis birthing a rebellion against the last all encompassing world government.

Cast

Not familiar.

Verdict

I grew up with first person shooters, but by that I mean Doom, Wolfenstein, Hexen, Rise of the Triad and more. When the multi-player generation kicked in I was rarely impressed, Medal of Honor? No thanks. Call of Duty? Meh. Online CoD bored me whereas Battlefield I got a level of enjoyment from. I could never understand why anybody would choose CoD over Battlefield.

Battlefield had bigger environments, more players in battles, vehicles (Ground, water and air) it was just superior in every way to me.

When Battlefield 2042 came out I remember hearing wall to wall complaints, people hated it so when I went in I assumed the worst. The thing is the complaints were never really specific, they were just claims they didn't like the game but rarely an explanation of why. Yes it had bugs, but what AAA games doesn't shortly after release? The trouble is it's over two years later and there are still bugs present, mostly frustrating graphical ones.

The game itself is solid enough, though a bit all over the place as it's set across multiple time periods and tries to be a bit too grandiose for its own good. WW2 battles? Sure. Modern battles? Sure. Futuristic battles? Sure. It makes loadouts a pain in the butt and I didn't like that it was so all over the place.

Everything else however is fine, the mechanics are solid, the locations are varied, every box is ticked so why the hatred?

It's not the best Battlefield game, but it's a decent enough entry.

Rants

No seriously, why do people choose CoD over Battlefield? I believe it's changed recently but prior the environments were tiny by comparison. You couldn't turn a corner without running into an enemy. No vehicles, fewer players....why!? Battlefield saw you riding a jeep across a sprawling environment, tanks roaring beside you, planes engaged in dogfights above, superior in every conceivable way.

Breakdown

Lots of environments Great logistics Multiple time periods don't work Unforgivable bugs.

Bad graphics make everything look plastic. Sound design is bad. Maps are uninteresting. Movement is slow with no way to adjust sensitivity. Feels unfinished. I have no idea how this was approved for release.

The movment awesome graphics are no where near as good as battlefield 1 everything the fans want has gone down the drain which is a shame as its such a beloved franchise from this game that has started a decline hopefully battlefield can return to its roots in its next game for now ill be returning to battlefield 1 which was miles better than this trash of a game.
