    Just not it.

    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.

    They have ruined the best FPS game I have ever played!!!

    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!!!

    Is Battlefield worth it in 2024?

    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.

    A buggy mess, but when it works it is good

    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.

    So huge disappointment.

    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.
