Battlefield 2042

I'm a huge fan of BF franchise, and I preordered the Ultimate Edition right when it was available. But I didn't think I would regret it. So huge disappointment.

Something has shifted fundamentally in development, these games are completely under delivered on every time they release. The players are also partly to blame for the state of games. I don't know how many times I've seen people saying things like "of course the game is buggy and incomplete, it just released", or "in six months will be a good game".

Dice has been doing this type of large scale games for years and for some reason instead of getting better they're getting worse.

This game doesn't have a scoreboard, no server list for all out warfare, no persistent lobbies, less game modes in comparison past games, no meaningful customization, no enjoyable progression, you can't select what squad you will join, you can't diving while swimming, no "medic nearby" indicator when you are downed, no spectator mode, no single-player campaign, very few weapons (Just 22 in total), the UI is absolutely horrible (We don't have any UI customization from the previous games), no voip or global chat, this game has one of the worst gunplay in modern gaming (terrible weapon accuracy/hit box isn't consistent and the bloom system is so much worse than in any bf that came before/uncontrollable), very few maps (Big maps with way too much space between points of interest and with no cover. Turns the game into a running simulator), downgraded destruction over it's predecessors, the physics are non-existent, and performance in general is trash (It's so badly optimized that they couldn't even create a trailer without frame drops).

I could cite more things, but other people already have done it better than me.

This game is an insult to video games and to the BF franchise. We deserve better. Don't buy It! Dont waste your money.

Alot of bad choices mad here, including the "no pats" undertones and rubbish class system which doesn't make any sense when you are fighting russian vs usa anyway? ?

the game when it is working is actually a hep[ of fun, when it works, 9 times out of 10 in the first month your lucky not to have to restart at least 4 times an hour on pc.

Probably better to go play hello kitty island adventure.

I really tried enjoying bf2042. Went in positive, even after reading all the negative reviews. Sometime after launch I played it for about a week and I just didn't like it at all. I stopped playing for months and recently came back to this game after reading that it was "fixed". Yes the game did become a bit better, but it was still the bf2042 it was just after launch. The maps are just so bland, really open and boring. It's pretty much just a big field or desert with some stuff on it like 3 big buildings or a big boat and for the rest a few small builings or houses with nothing really in between them. Also so few of them. The guns are okay but also not really special... they don't have that satisfying feel to them.

Portal is kinda cool but the fact that you cannot really unlock anything for the weapons is a bummer too. There really isn't anything cool to unlock in general.

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 play BF because COD is stupid, too fast and unplayable. When I first played BF4, it felt good to find a game the complete opposite of COD. Slower game play speed, easy to stay on target and just fun! My friends and I would stay and play online for hours! You guys have completed ruined BF by trying to turn it into COD!

All you had to do was take BF4/BF1 keep all buttons and game play the same (Aiming, movement, destruction, etc) and just update some maps, graphics and guns and this game would have been perfect! It's sad that people always have to come in and ruin something that was great! Please just make the next BF just like BF4. Bring back what the people want!!!
