Battlefield™ 2042 Reviews

If you want to jump in i gotta tell you EA app and running two launchers for one game is frustrating. I have not been able to launch bf2042 (EA App) after the recent update of the EA app. Never buying a game again.

do not buy, it will not run on good PC's. its been released for years and it still cannot run properly

Still bad after all this time of patching and updating. Don't waste your time and money. Better play previous games (BF4, BF1, maybe BFV too)

Don't believe the Hype. It's a great game. There's an Army of these @$$holes who anything Battlefield does or says is never good enough. Upping the time to kill and actually giving some variety to the playstyle isn't that big of a deal, guys...

Long time has passed that I got this much fun from a fps game since Legendary Call of Duty 2. If you know how to get fun from core game, this is a huge blast.

EA out here specifically burning engineering time to prevent Linux players from playing games but still has a cheating problem. Eat a fat dick, EA.

The release of the BF2042 was a huge disaster and big damage to the franchise. But for now, DICE tried to fix the game with updates and it can be playable. You should give a chance if you want to play modern FPS game.

Finally tried 2042 after I got sick of all the new Call of Duty movement crap. I’m having an absolute blast. Feels like old battlefield titles. I’d absolutely recommend giving it a chance. Especially for the $9 price tag

So this is what happens when you design a Battlefield game without actually playing one! Despite all the updates, Battlefield 2042 remains a hollow experience. Empty maps, unbalanced operatives, no single-player, and a wasted "Portal" mode make this feel like the most disappointing Battlefield entry in years. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Breakdown: 🔹 Story Quality: N/A – No single-player campaign. 🔹 Story Depth: N/A – Again, there’s no campaign, so there’s nothing to rate here. 🎮 Controls: The core gunplay and movement are decent, but nothing groundbreaking. 🌍 Immersiveness: Maps feel empty, lacking the chaos and dynamic combat that defined classic Battlefield games. ⚔️ Difficulty: The biggest challenge isn’t the enemies—it’s dealing with poor balancing and questionable design choices. 🗺 Level Design: Huge but lifeless maps that feel designed for a different game entirely. 🎨 Graphics: Visually, it looks good, but great graphics can’t save bad design. 🎵 Sound & Soundtrack: Serviceable, but lacks the impact of earlier Battlefield titles. 🕹 Gameplay: When it works, it’s fine, but poor balance and lackluster content make it a struggle to enjoy. 🐛 Bugs: Many fixes have improved stability, but early impressions still haunt the game. ⌛ Playtime: Depends on tolerance for frustration. 🔁 Replayability: Once you see the game’s flaws, there’s little reason to stick around. 💰 Price-to-Quality: Not worth full price, and even on sale, it’s a tough sell. The Good: ✅ Decent gunplay and movement. ✅ Graphics are solid. ✅ Some fun moments—if you can find the right match. The Bad: ❌ Empty, poorly designed maps. ❌ Zero single-player campaign. ❌ Completely unbalanced operatives (enjoy fighting Falks all day). ❌ "Portal" mode was abandoned. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusion: Battlefield 2042 was supposed to be a return to form, but even after updates, it remains a disappointing, empty experience. If you love Battlefield, you’re better off revisiting BF4, BF1, or BFV. This one just isn’t worth your time. Don't waste your money—play the classics instead.

This is not by any mean a bad game in its current state, kudos to dice for fixing it throughout the years to an enjoyable state but considering the amount of PVP shooters in the market you can easily skip this one and not miss out on anything. Visuals and sounds are what you usually expect from a battlefield game, however the gun play and shooting doesn't feel like a battlefield game. The portal feature seemed on paper like a dream come true in a BF game where you can create the experiences you want and launch a server for it in seconds but it doesn't have this much traction nor much fun in it Also if you play without cross-play you won't find a single lobby for anyone that don't want to play against controllers.
