Hope you don't hate me for this, but this was my personal experience. I know there's a hate train out there on Reddit and Steam reviews, but I experienced almost everything that others did. I loved the game for the first 8 hours and I do believe that Battlefield 2042 has immense potential to turn things around and be a great game... it's just not here at launch. I'm disappointed because I've been anticipating this game for so long.

Personally my issues really are the vehicles….they’re wayyyy to overpowering and it takes the fun away bc in the right hands vehicles can be a menace. I do see alot of potential in the game but it does need some work put into it.

Played bf2042 for 30+ hours . Has all the issues you mentioned. I got on BF4 this morning and the soldier movement and vehicle physics are night and day. The movement feels weird its definitely off and the jumping is like floaty it's not quick like bf4 . Bf4 movement allows you to evade gun fire this game is restrictive. I can deal with bugs missing features... But movement is everything for me and . I would fix the hit reg firstly then movement then cleanup bugs and add missing features. And only gripe about the specialist is WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LOOK SAME FOR BOTH FACTIONS

WW1 had over 60 million soldiers participating in the war. This "WW3" of sorts taking place in 2042 only has 10 participants.

It seems like the developers knew after the initial flop of BFV (their shift in direction away from former battlefields), they knew BF2042 would be their last chance to revive the franchise… in that panic, they tried to pull elements from popular games like Apex and COD in a last ditch effort to make people fall in love. Consequently, it eradicated their large classic Battlefield player base because it isn’t a Battlefield game (yet).

I could have. I feel like this review was way too soft handed with *some* of its critiques. BF2042 is exactly the game I thought it’d be, in the worst way possible I mean.

My theory: This game was to be a battle royal and a hazard zone mode too (spiritual successor type game) but they turned ship with a year to go before release to make a more classic game but used those assists like specialists. So really only a year to make the multiplayer. Hence why so much stuff is missing. Because there is no way they were working on this game for 3 years. Also rumors about higher ups at ea and DICE higher ups telling developers to use popular things from other games. I’m waiting for the article to give us the behind the scene story about what happened with this game (like anthem).

Don't go so easy so easy on DICE, blaming EA for everything. Some of the flaws you mentioned are bad game design decisions taken by DICE; for example how big and empty the maps are. Level design is not something that developers do 2 months before launch that a publisher has to step in and say, "Our investors are getting impatient, you can add all those buildings in season 1. "

The idea of the beginning and ending cutscene with characters is for when micro transactions launch… people will see outfits they may wanna buy!

This game made me realize how much I love games like Squad or Hell Let Loose, games that actually have teamwork and specific roles for your team.

Every single mode feels like Deathmatch. No team play, no squad play, no nothing. Literally all you do is go in get kills and move on to the next round. No personal stats, the same 5 ribbons every game, destroying vehicles is useless because 3 seconds later another one spawns in front of you. It literally feels like i'm playing Unreal Tournament instead of Battlefield.

1:03 was the hardest I have laughed in a long ass time.

Honestly the class system was a part of what drew me into battlefield in the first place, also the game/gun play. Now I feel like I’m playing a new cod and don’t like that, hope the patch in December changes some of those things, however, as of right now 2042 for me is playable and I don’t quit the game after 3 matches so whatever

With all the missing features, this game makes Battlefield V look good.

Not going to happen. I remember seeing that one of the heads of DICE was promoted to high up in EA itself. As long as they can make money that is all that will happen.

I waited 5 years for a modern BF and I’m really really disappointed, I only tried the beta and didn’t like it, it felt like Cod and i think I’m gonna buy it after 6~12 months. Hope they fix the major problems.

I just want a updated BF4 or BF3. Those were my favorites in the BF franchise and I'm just getting tired of them moving away from BF because their competitors are making money. It's like RE6 trying to appeal to everyone when they should of focus on their own thing.

Players who have played Battlefield over the last 15 years expect what's built into the brand, thats a class system and engaging maps. The issue reading is the original dev team have all but gone / left Dice and what we have Is a new dev team trying to redesign the wheel and forgetting the main foundations of the last 15 years. Battlefield have been down this road before with Battlefield Hardline, they simply highlighted how disjointed they are from the community again with this 2042 shite.

I don't like devaluing the work devs have put into a project, but... How the hell did this game launch? I've played 17 hours so far, and there's a great deal of fun to be had, but it's the most disappointing Battlefield I've played (at launch) since 4. I want to love this game, because when it lands, it lands! It's a lot like 4 in that regard. And watching the devs celebrate the game like it's the greatest thing they've ever worked on is... frustrating, honestly. As brutal as it sounds, this game is not worthy of praise. Not yet. It's a Minimum Viable Product, and I find that unfortunate.

My main criticism is that I am astounded that with the futuristic setting that NV or thermal scopes don't exist on soldier or vehicle??

This video is so on point it's sad. Like I've been playing like you since BC2. And this game generally makes me think that this is really it for BF. It's like a shell of the last few games.

Yeah I think being a developer is probably one of the most demanding jobs and at the end of a several year long project you can get completely flamed online, even if it wasnt your fault

Bugs and annoyances encountered in PS5: • Bugs - Sometimes in a match, you won't be able to select your loudout for the whole match, you have to quit and join another one - Sometimes at the start of the match, you won't be able to spawn for a couple of minutes - The communications menu (I need ammo, heals etc thing) fails to open up most of the times - Ghost or fake reloads • Annoyances - The intro cutscenes are too long, annoying, boring and kick you out of the customization menu forcefully when the game starts - The end of match voicelines are cringe, stupid and just outright annoying - The console controller schemes are a fucking cluster fuck, they need to iron them out - The menus are atrocious, very convoluted and hard to read at first - The SVK sniper seems too powerful - The Nightbird helicopter with rocket pods is too powerful - The Hovercraft is too powerful - No damage indicator when damaging vehicles, like Vehicle Hit 21 which meant you took away 21% of their health - Not being able to outright remove an attachment on the Plus menu, you're forced to run 3

Game developers got their priorities all wrong... gotta have the following: 1. Performance 2. Polish 3. Variety (CONTENT- maps, guns, vehicles- NOT SNEEZING, CYCLONES ETC) 4. Social (group play, communication) 5. Reason to play (stats, unlocks, rewarding to improve) There’s no point adding unnecessary work by making maps huge, specialists, drop zone etc if you haven’t got the fundamentals!

The game doesn't tell you anything really.

Don't know if anyone else has said this but you actually can make a default weapon attachment thingy that you spawn with every time by putting the scope/barrel/etc in the first slot in the customization menu.

2042 feels like battle royal turned multiplayer

The class system would flow so much better. I love playing in vehicles but every damn specialist can run a rocket launcher and it’s horrible. This makes players in vehicles camp back in their spawn. I have no drive to play this game. Sad

So with the plus system, if you put the attachments you always want in the first box, those are the attachments that will be on the weapon when you start.

This review out of them all opened my eyes up to what a battlefield was missing. It sucks that we likely won't see those big changes like leveloution or movement mechanics come to fruition one day since that's literally change the core gameplay itself.

Another thing that boggles my mind is that the game takes place in the future, but the helis don't even have windshield wipers. Lol.

When they showed off the portal I was crazy hyped to play BC2, unfortunately it’s busted as hell. I think I was more disappointed that they upped the player count making the maps way unbalanced as well as there only being 2 maps and a limited amount of weapons. It should be 32 players (because that’s how the maps were designed) and at least 6 maps. They also need to have an attack then a defense round, last night I played 8 defense matches in a row. I’m soooo glad I tried this on the EA play and didn’t fork out the 109 dollars.

Just a tip. The first set of attachments you have on your + system is your default load out so you can change that to make that be your default.

Something that me and my buddies didnt realize at first about the cut scenes is that theyre actually a loading screen. It you look closely, you can see textures loading in during them. I know it's a small thing compared to the big issues of the game but in my eyes, its a "positive". I would much rather see a cool cut scene than a loading screen.

I absolutely regret shoveling 50€ into dice a$$ for creating the worst Battlefield ever... I also lost trust in almost any Studio.. For example CyberPunk, CoD ColdWar, Vanguard and now Battlefield 2042. They all delivered awesome games in the past

I am someone who has been playing Battlefield since 1942, in 2002 when I was literally a pre-teen. I was installing 64mb and 128mb sticks of ram into my family PC in order to play. I already felt insulted and outcasted by Battlefield V's poor marketing and PR. Battlefield 2042 feels like the final nail in the coffin for long time fans like me. This isn't Battlefield anymore. It's trying so hard to emulate and gain players from COD and Apex Legends and various other shooters it has lost it's own identity. Battlefield has classes, not specialists. This is not Battlefield. And like Battlefield V, I'm not going to purchase or play it. The last new Battlefield game I enjoyed on released was BF1. That's it. I have been back on BF4 playing hardcore servers recently. Even with my filters for hardcore only and NA servers I get 16-20 servers that are jammed pact, 64/64 players. Battlefield 4 is alive and well and with 2042 being a failure in the eyes of most true original Battlefield fans BF4 will only continue to increase in player count.

I keep switching between bf4 and bf1 I’m actually considering getting bfV just because 2042 seems like such a let down, I want to play a battle game not a COD game... I must say I kinda knew they would lean towards COD with the spin round flip 360 3rd person take down bullshit! Such a disappointment of a game even with all the bugs fixed.

@diehardGG you actually 'can' set your default setup on a weapon, just move the attachments you want to use to one of the three slots 'closest' to the gun (center) when doing it. That will make that attachment default each time you respawn.

The little bird is also made of papier-mâché. If I just slightly scrape the ground, I spontaneously combust. And I’m also annoyed that below radar is gone

They’ve gotten away from so many of the things that made this franchise great. I am very disappointed like many. I don’t know if it can recover from the shellacking it’s getting from all over.

This is one of the more rougher launches, though this game IS going to redeem itself in one way or another. If Battlefront 2 which was possibly one of the most controversial game launch and even Battlefield 5, both games did redeem themself (bt5 pacific war, bft2 whole journey).

For the plus system, whatever attachment is closest to the center will be default when you spawn in. So you can set up attachments.

To get a default loadout on your weapons move the attachments you prefer to the first slot on the plus system and you'll spawn in with those attachments set.

Portal feels like a reskin of 2042 rather than remaster of the old Battlefields.

Good it will be half price then also

12:06 about the plus system, i found that if u set the desired attachment closer to the number it will be set as the default ons

i do want to point out that you can actually create a default attachment set for your weapons. all you need to do is use the change position option on the one you want as default and set it as the first square in the plus system. its annoying but you can still do it. thats how i use attachments in most classic games as well

It's sad that I don't think I'm going to be going through my 10 hour trial anytime soon. Makes me happy I didn't spend $60 on it

5/10 seems accurate enough (solely based on your expectation that it might be better in a year) but I would just give it a 3 just so it could bomb in all reviews. Not that I expect anything to change but that's my only way to let the devs know that we don't want their apex legends/cod hybrid style of game. Have been playing BF since the first one. At this point, I just don't care if the franchise lives to see another day - not with these peeps making it at least.

BTW, you may know this already, but...on the plus system, if you go into your Collections menu between games and move your desired attachments to the selection closest to the center of the cross menu, that will be your default attachment loadout at game start.

there is a way to have a default loadout on your weapon just put whatever attachments you want to always be on the gun closer to the center of the plus

Great review and sadly it seems like the gaming industry is plagued at the minute with underdeveloped games just being pushed out for financial gains.

Yes, let's add beta testing after launch, so DICE and EA can save money on paying testers and server time. They can have the players pay for the privilege of playing a broken game so they can attempt to do their jobs months too late.

Whatever attachment is closest to the gun when you pull up the plus system is the default attachment

My ps5 completely crashes if I leave the game on in the menu and switch over my HDMI to cable . Like to the point where I have to try and turn I back on several times and it has to rebuild itself

This is a great take on what reddit is trying to say without the hive mind overkill. The game is amazing and I am having SO MUCH FUN, but wow there are so many issues.

@@Zark_Moneybags69 New gadgets include but are not limited to: Healing pistol, grapple hook, recon drone, hacking tool, deployable cover, trophy systems, automated turrets, anti armor and scatter grenades, and instant loadout drops. As for the maps, they feel perfectly like battlefield. Large open spaces for vehicles with a mix of infantry only or combined arms based objectives for both sides to clash over. Community favorites like Al Alleman and Caspian Border have employed that same philosophy, with most other BF maps doing the same. 2042 is more of the same, just upscaled with the player count, offering plenty of variety depending on where you choose to fight. That's classic battlefield, a mix of infantry and vehicle combat across large, sprawling maps, engaging in huge shootouts with infantry and getting your day ruined by tanks and aircraft. It's part of the fun. Spawn, fight, die, repeat, with a little bit of running here and there. That's how every BF has played. It's the fun that comes from the insanity of 128 people duking it out with a ton of guns and vehicles, and 2042 does that just fine. Some refinement and balance is certainly needed, but it's got the same fun factor.

You hit it on the head of the nail. I am utterly boggled why they didnt just take everything they developed for BFV like the movement and all that crispy movement and just put it in here. The jets are absolute dog crap and you cant get a kill with the guns on any infantry with the crazy spread they have and the missles are just not fun to uss. The helicopters fly like something out of gta 5 (exaggerated a bit). And everything else you've mentioned. I think to sum up this game, I would just say it doesnt feel like a battlefield game to me. It just feels sloppy at best.

I think the community is finally fed up with broken launches

The plus system issue that you mention where you think you have to change it every turn you load in is incorrect. In the deploy screen where you can edit your classes, if you put the attachments on the first slot of each plus, that’s the attachment that will load in by default. You can switch attachments after that but as long as YOU set the attachments in the first slot you will load in with those attachments every time.

My ps5 experience was great on the full game I’ve experience minor bugs and mostly visually glitch’s time to time so for me it’s been awesome for me

Just feels like a $20-30 game

Might already be said, but in the plus system, you can change your default. IIRC, you right click and drag to where you want it

I changed my grenade map and I was never able to use the call in system after that

wanted it to be good, there's a good game buried in here. unfortunately I think it will get the battlefront 2 treatment and they will pull the plug on support and content when the game is entering a good state.

Glad I canceled my preorder. Seeing the sad release state, I feel like I just jumped the train track. Maybe if the game is completely fixed in a year or 2, I’ll buy it if it’s discounted

So I’m running the game on console. And I’m not sure if any one else is running into an issue where you can only select your specialist character. And you can’t edit your guns or even select a different gun in game

You could do a default loadout for the t system the attachments you want need to be in that far closest to the weapon you will load in with those attachments on your weapon

The flood zone ,the satellite dish crashing, siege of Shanghai collapse,lancang dam,bottleneck operation locker. Bf4was and still is pinnacle of the bf franchise

Yeah I really despise that the specialists have personality. Battlefield has always made you a faceless soldier in multiplayer. So to see this, it feels like apex or something. Don't like ot

the ending song of ur video really hits hard with ur opinion, gives off that nostalgia feeling, everyone unhappy like bf4 was and yet, bf4 become one of the best games in history of gaming
