Battlefield 2042 Reviews
Battlefield 2042 is nothing short of a rip-off, and screams of EA trying to see what they can get away with this generation. Overpriced, yet devoid of the content to justify its next-gen premium, it will leave franchise fans feeling insulted. Make no mistake, anyone looking to get into Battlefield should look elsewhere, or risk letting a lacklustre first impression sour their perception of what is otherwise one of the most premiere first-person shooters in the genre - which frankly just makes 2042's lack of content, lack of a campaign, and lack of polish all the more frustrating. Battlefield's legacy deserves better than EA squandering DICE's potential by launching a major title in a clearly unfinished state. Battlefield 2042 is a beta masquerading as a AAA release.
At a time when our money is so devalued, I certainly don't recommend BF 2042, which is a tracksuit bottoms, to anyone. I'm not saying you can't enjoy it, but the game's not over. It's obvious...

The gameplay continues to be chaotic and the team-playing vibes are almost non-existent if you're not playing together with friends. Portal is pretty much the only solid selling point right now, and unless the new Battlefield urgently receives massive improvements, it could easily turn into one of the biggest disappointments of the year.
Evidently, Battlefield 2042 was not ahead of schedule. The game greatly suffers from an incapacity to fundamentally understand what makes Battlefield a Battlefield game. EA and DICE failed to understand the assignment: this game is not what long time Battlefield veterans want to play.

Disappointing is the best way to describe Battlefield 2042. It can be fun at times, but also frustrating and downright dull. Its maps are impressive in scale, with weather effects that are a sight to behold. But they’re just too big, filled with vast open spaces that don’t do the game any favours. Mix in a variety of bugs and unfortunate design decisions, and you have the weakest Battlefield game in years. Can it be turned around? Possibly. But whether you’re a fan of the series or not, you’re definitely better off waiting for it to receive some more updates before you jump in.
Battlefield 2042 is a fresh experience for Battlefield franchise fans, and the creators have tried to take a new approach in building different parts of the title, but unfortunately now and at a time when this critique is underway the game is suffering from a lot of problems, both large and small, that will upset many fans.

Battlefield 2042 is a good game, capable of offering a fantastic war experience. Despite having great successes, it also has some flaws that tarnish the final result. However, with certain adjustments, the DICE game could once again achieve the success of classic deliveries.

Battlefield 2042 changes the franchise formula considerably but brings no real improvements. While it has added flexibility with specialists and the Portal mode, the balance issues, poor maps, technical problems, and missing features keep it from reaching the heights of its predecessors.
Despite trying to present itself as an advancement of the series, Battlefield 2042 instead feels like a severe dumbing-down. The Battlefield Portal offers some familiar fun, but it's just not enough to warrant buying the game.
Not even a good gunplay and the excellent Portal mode can save Battlefield 2042 from being a mediocre experience. The various additions to the game, such as specialists and huge scope for matches, have no effect and create a disastrous, tiring experience and an insult to the franchise's history.

Future of the Battlefield series looks bad, very bad. Battlefield 2042 is bunch of messy game modes and only Portal is something unique.

Battlefield 2042 has the potential to be a fantastic Battlefield game, but its server problems really put a damper on it. At this point, wait for a couple more patches before checking it out.
A product that incorporates fun and new ideas, but lack of proper use of the potentials of these ideas, has made Bethelfield 2042 unable to be as it should be and perhaps a fun product for newcomers as well as old users.

EA tried to rush the release out the door, expecting it to compete with Vanguard and Halo Infinite, but lost. Some questionable innovations and bugs prevent the game from being the Battlefield people wanted all these years.

Battlefield 2042 wants so many things that it succeeds at almost none of them. There's a good game buried beneath it all, but you'll wade through a lot of sludge to get there.
Battlefield 2042 is a bit of a mixed bag as things stand right now with the excellent Portal mode overshadowing almost everything else on offer. The futuristic large-scale battles are spectacular stuff, for sure, but it's all a little disjointed so far with the all-new Specialists underlining a feeling that solo soldiering has somehow taken precedent over the series' signature teamwork. There's still plenty to enjoy in this meaty package for early adopters, and we've no doubt DICE will be busy improving things as the months roll on but, outside of a mode that celebrates the series' history more than it embraces what's new in this latest entry, what's here struggles to feel absolutely essential at launch.
With exaggeratedly huge maps dominated by boredom and randomness, the absence of key features such as voice chat and server browser, and the sudden abandonment of the story phase without providing enough content to make such a move. At the same time, the game provides the real-life atmosphere that the series has long been known for, and portal is the most commendable addition as it opens the door to huge future content with the participation of the players themselves.

Battlefield 2042 brings us an exciting experience from the future as well as from the past at the same time despite some of the problems you may face while playing, but you soon forget it when you integrate into the excellent gameplay phases.

Battlefield 2042 has a very solid foundation, but the game needs a few decent patches that will not only expand the content (weapons, gadgets), but also take care of removing bugs – the latter can now have a very negative impact on the experience.
