What a fucking shambles of a game. Genuinely do not buy. It's broke to hell. Almost like they've copied cod but made it worse. Scoring about 1.8 out of 5 in the reviews.

Worse launch than cyberpunk.

Good warning thanks, as I was looking at getting this.

depending on what platform you’re on, if you have Xbox games pass you get 10 hours to play for free with EA play so that you can have a good shot without shelling out 60 bangers mate. Not sure on PS.

Cool to know too thanks, I do have game pass.  The pain with that is just hard drive space, but I'll give that a shot for sure.  Then I can join in with everyone that's mad about it being shit.

Game is a pile of shite,stay well the fuck away lads.can't believe I wasted 90 quid on the gold edition.paid digital too,so can't even trade the cunt in.i never pre order,but the beta was decent and we were told this was a build from months ago,bullshit.

I've been playing battlefield since bad company 2 and this game ain't battlefield.last great bf was bf1.bf5 wasn't bad eventually,but this is a disgrace.

22 guns in total 😄,aim assist is broken,hit detection is fucked,no team work thanks to the specialists and being able to carry basically any load out you like now that they've removed classes,which have been in battlefield since the franchise began.

Graphics are average on ps5,everything looks too clean to be a battlefield.hardly any destruction also.

the maps are without a doubt the worst in the series,way too big and lifeless in a lot of areas,no atmosphere to them.theres not a single 1 that I've played that I thought was decent.if you want to play infantry forget it,you'll last less than 10 seconds thanks to there being hardly any cover.

Just found out aswell that the guys that made bf4 and bf1 left dice to start their own company called embark last year,which would explain why this game is a turkey.

They were losing me after the battlefield 5 turned into an arcade shooter edging towards COD.

They totally lost me when they decided to do away with classes which is what makes battlefield stand out.

Good at FPS running and gunning? Go assault an go mental.

like to sneak about? Recon/sniper

Shite at shooting games but enjoy playing anyway? Med/support

The overlap between the classes in your squad made teamwork much more optimal and even if you were only interested in getting XP for yourself the best way to get it was usually playing to help your squad with meds/resupply/highlighting enemies.

Now it just looks like a COD clone with bigger maps.

It's actually a shame how far it's fallen. BF1 was perfect. How far they've fallen but makes sense when you say those guys left. I put in hours into BF1 (ended up in the top 1% of pilots in the UK) and it would still be more enjoyable today than the new one. Also not a great advert for next gen and it's so bad on PS4.

As @Bigdave30 said, it's like they've tried to copy COD which is bizzare as that died long ago.

Battlefield 1 was amazing mate,even the dlc maps that came after were something special.i was in the top 50 medics in the uk at 1 point also.downloaded it yesterday cos it's 4k 60fps on ps5 and it showed up just how utterly lifeless 2042 is,still has full servers aswell,although the dlc maps don't come up for some reason,only the original maps.

honestly gutted how far the series has fallen mate,fucking 90 quid down aswell.knew I should have bought the disc version,but got caught up in the hype and bought the gold edition off the psn store with the 4 battle passes included.never pre ordering fuck all again man.

Exactly, the whole reason I enjoyed it is because it wasn’t COD, large expansive and interactive maps with destroyable buildings/features, larger scale battles with vehicles, teamwork and some communication in squads (not always the case but it’s better than never like COD), the variety of different play styles within each class…

Every AAA game that is released now a days honestly looks like a public alpha test phase that they charge you full price for and then use community feed back to fix the problems that are highlighted, it’s fucking criminal from a manufacturers position.

BF1 is quite possibly my all-time favourite game - the audio/soundtrack alone was phenomenal! Still remember my first ever round on it, playing with 3 friends, attacking on Kaiserschlacht Operations........ i was blown away!

5 years later i download the BF2042 10-hour trial through gamepass........ still has 8 hours left on it, it just aint a Battlefield game - don't know what the fuck it is tbh. All they had to do was give us the visuals and audio from BF1 + the movement and gunplay from BFV - update it into a modern setting and it would have been one of the best games of all time. Instead they released........ whateverthefuck that thing is??? :(

The soundtrack was phenomenal mate,haunting and sad,made it feel like you were really fighting for something.operations was class aswell.where the fuck did it all go wrong.

dice have had their day, they're not even the same company anymore.EA need to pass the baton on to another team next year,I'd be looking at embark who are made up of the devs that made bf1 and 4.

Yeah mate, you could tell just how much heart and soul went into BF1, really felt like a labour of love from the devs. The voicelines were class too, really added to the immersion........ and how about at the start of an Operations round when everyone charges forward with the big battle cry and whistles going........ might have to go reacquaint myself with BF1 tonight, been at least 2 weeks since i last played :lol:

The first time I played Operations I was sitting there with a big grin on my face mate,that opening with every cunt charging forward screaming was like something from a Spielberg film.didnt matter wether you won or lost it was amazing and you'd load straight back on again for more.

it's still popular on playstation,plus if you're on ps5 it runs at 4k 60fps.it's only the main maps and the they shall not pass dlc French maps that's on rotation,why I have no idea.shame aswell cos the Russian dlc and the apocalypse with the somme and passchendale were outstanding maps

I'm on Series X now, but it was 4k 60fps on Xbox 1X when i was playing regular - looked awesome on the big Sony 4k hdr tv.......... i went all try-hard and switched to a monitor these days though hahahaha. Last time i was on there were 20+ full conquest servers on EU, maybe a dozen Ops servers too - i get around 90 ping to US east servers so that's more than playable too. At this point in time they should just make all DLC maps free but we know that ain't gonna happen, they're not even free on BF4!

The first area on St Quentin Ops + Passchendale, that's what springs to mind when i think of WW1/trench warfare - what a great job they did there.

Thats because everything is multiplayer now, in the days of single player games you could hire a team of ten to twenty testers who play every aspect of the game, try to bend and break the games rules, if they succeed it gets fixed, if they encounter a problem it gets fixed and everytime something is fixed they need to start the test again, 

However in massive multiplayer games its virtually impossible to test it pre launch, devs have no idea how the game is going to react with thousands if not tens of thousands of people all accessing and playing the game, all it takes is one person accidentally sliding in a wall for example and finding a glitch that gets posted online and abused

Textures that looked good in beta suddenly look poor because the number of people accessing the servers and running, walking, shooting the textures is multipled by god knows what, so the system goes tits up

BF could easily have been better, theres no denying it, by sounds of it they rushed the parts they could have checked themselves, but pretty much every multiplayer game nowadays is going to launch with countless bugs that rely on the player base to find and report, its how quickly the devs can patch them without breaking anything else thats the key now
