Battlefield 2042 Reviews
Battlefield 2042 is a typical case of the whole package being greater than the sum of the parts. That is, despite having several lackluster elements, the overall package is good and deserves attention from fans. As positive highlights, we have great and beautiful visuals, as well as the variety of game modes, in particular the very interesting Portal. On the negative side, we have bugs in animations, bad matchmaking and lack of basic elements.

Battlefield 2042 is not the title that will revolutionize the franchise. The overall experience remains similar despite the addition of characters or natural disasters. If some features bring a little comfort to the gameplay, the sensations are the same as before. The absence of the single-player mode to put all of the energy of the DICE developers on multiplayer does not make it possible to focus on the proposed universe even if this decision undoubtedly made it possible to develop the excellent Portal mode which offers real diversity during clashes. Without forgetting that if on Xbox Series X I did not experience any particular technical problems, they are indeed present on the PC version which is still inconstant today and still contains huge bugs. Overall, I don't think this new Battlefield is the long-awaited opus by the community!

There’s a lot to love with Battlefield 2042; on its surface it still delivers on those “Battlefield moments” and the new Portal mode is phenomenal. However, the changes to the main competitive mode just feel like they shatter the core of what makes Battlefield tick.
When it comes to Battlefield I like to call myself a veteran of the series. My love of large scale combat started off back in 2002 with Battlefield 2 and has grown ever since. I like to say that I’ve seen it all. From the highs of Battlefield: Vietnam, to the lows of Battlefield: Hardline, I’ve been there and – for Battlefield 3 – gotten the t-shirt (RIP Gamestation).
Approximately one year after its release, Battlefield 2042 is no longer the BETA that was presented to us in the initial product, and is now starting to gain more solidity and competitiveness in the fps market, even if it is a few notches below its predecessors.

Battlefield 2042 has the potential of becoming one the best first-person shooters available on Xbox in six months’ time — but the fact is that, as of today, it is not even among the best shooters being released this Holiday season.
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 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.
When Battlefield 2042 works, it works well and can be fun but it sadly feels like this game really should have been delayed again with all of its issues.
Battlefield 2042 is DICE’s most average Battlefield yet, one that despite boasting two new modes to discover in Hazard Zone and Battlefield Portal, clearly forgot about the core of the experience. With some weird design decisions, plenty of bugs, and more crashes than a destruction derby; the future of Battlefield, this is not. It’s still fun, but we hoped for so much more.
Battlefield 2042 has elements of a good game, while Portal mode is an excellent new addition to the series
Battlefield 2042 takes us to the near future where climate change and Kessler syndrome destroyed the world. It has no single-player mode, so you can only enjoy the online multiplayer. All-Out Warfare is very large and especially fun to play with friends. But Battlefield 2042 is pretty boring unless you decide to dive into Battlefield Portal and be surprised by the creativity of others or make something by yourself

Battlefield 2042 provides a surprisingly complete multiplayer experience with a game mode for everybody. Although, with it’s countless number of bugs, mediocre map design and balance issues it also makes it a very difficult game to recommend especially at the current price. There is a fair amount of fun to be had with the game that might be improved in the next year or so.
Even with its stupendous technical section and its good sensations at the controls, the alarming lack of content and lack of polish in all areas weigh down a release that will have to be saved by its own community during its first months of life; however, its base is solid and has possibilities of redemption

Unfortunately it has started to be recurrent in the video game industry to release titles as "unfinished" and where BattleField 2042 seems to fit perfectly. But despite that, we believe that with the implementation of several patches, all the bugs we found in the game can be solved and EA and DICE give a clear shot with the new dynamics inserted.

Despite the promising Portal mode, Battlefield 2042, which uses players as a tester, still gives the impression of an incomplete game with its errors and important problems.

The core Battlefield experience lives, but has many obstacles to overcome.
Battlefield 2042 is an unfulclined experience at the moment and needs a lot of repairs to get back on track.

Battlefield 2042 feels like it could become a cool game, but it’s tantalizingly out of reach today. There’s enough promise with the satisfying-when-it-works gunplay, large-scale chaos (that’s starting to feel more controlled over time), and fantastic legacy Battlefield content in Portal that I’ll stick around for a bit. It didn’t have to be this way, though.
