    Garbage. Maps are garbage. The lack of guns are garbage. The sPeCiAlIsTs are garbage and don't belong. If you want to play this, I hope you like being spawn killed by armored balloons doing 200mph drifting for hours on end.

    I jest, I strongly recommend that you DO NOT buy this. It's barely a game at all The maps are so **** bad that on Breakthrough you spawn dead 90% of the time    Garbage. Maps are garbage.

    I jest, I strongly recommend that you DO NOT buy this. It's barely a game at all

    The maps are so **** bad that on Breakthrough you spawn dead 90% of the time because the spawns are literally 300 meters from any cover and everyone on the map can see you because of this. They're too big and too flat. Ironically the maps you get when you play against bots are about half the size of the official server maps and are 100% better. Still **** terrible because a graphics artist intern made them and not a map designer, but a little better.

    There is just no flow to the game. The audio is garbage. Especially the voice acting and the specialists. 30 of my clones running around in a post climate change world wrought with resource and land wars and they all have dumb ass quips like it's fun to them. The tone of the game is all over the place and it is grating as **** Their dumb ass quips still persist even if you turn off all dialogue volume.

    The game is just garbage, made by people who are DICE in name only (no, this isn't even hyperbole, nobody who made a BF game are on this team anymore, they all quit after BF5)

    I give it a 2/10 or 20% because at least it turns on (0 in reality because 449 people are lying)

    The only good thing about this game is that Crowbcat will have a lot of content to rip this trash heap apart. Looking forward to his videos on Cyberpunk, New World, COD and BF.
    AAA gaming is **** dire man. I can't even refund this piece of **** because I stupidly bought it on CDKeys

    It's not even just the worst Battlefield game ever made - it may actually be one of the worst games ever made. Sure, it works as intended most of the time, but the intended version is like trashcan with arms    … Expand

Just because consumers pretty much have to deal with your crap doesn't give you license to keep shoveling.

    There is NO WAY QA did not run into the myriad of problems PC users are running into. Assets not loading, people getting stuck in the dying state without any way to die or respawn, not being able to connect sporadically, gigantic lag spikes, poor spawn logic, completely unbalanced weapons (this isn't "minor tweaking" broken), UI glitches that keep you from switching classes, UI glitches that keep you from shooting until you die and swap your loadout, not being able to pick you loadout and be given a random loadout, etc. The list goes on and on and on. At some point, these big studios need to lose a class action that creates a legal precedent of expected level of completeness. You can tell where their heads are at considering there's a Store tab that doesn't even have anything in it. They are just putting out a "game" for the money and profit boost while they work in ways to try to milk money out of their player base.

    This game is not complete, not even close. They'll say "Oh we just need more time to work out the kinks". Great, do open betas and fix your bugs before you expect to get paid for it. Putting out a game like this is a lie. You're not putting out a game, you're QA testing for free by putting your loyal players through frustration. I hope the bad press causes investors to lose faith in the leadership at EA and boots people out. The people who pushed to have this unfinished work released don't deserve their jobs. Give it to someone who cares about the work and not the bottom line.    … Expand

And because of that ridiculous scale, they decided to throw in as many vehicle as possible without thinking of balancing them, Again to use the spectacle as a selling point.

    They swapped classes, a battlefield staple, for specialists because they would be easier to monetize. They got rid of so many great details and gameplay additions from old battlefields, so they could focus on making the game more sellable, not playable.

    They practically got rid of all sense of community by getting rid of voip, scoreboards, clans, and all chat.

    And not to mention how absolutely horrible the performance it. I am fortunate enough to have a pretty solid pc, (10900k, 3080) i get constant stutters ranging from 50 to 90 fps on settings meant for performance. I cant imagine how they expect people who have been getting screwed over by scalpers from getting components to play this game.

    The ONLY redeemable thing about this game is portal. It offers a great nostalgia trip and has a lot of potential. Unfortunately since people went straight to abusing it which i have no clue how dice didn't see that coming, its basically impossible to level up with right now.

    I could honestly go on but i think the part that is the most disappointing thing about all of this is that this game was labeled as "a love letter to fans" before it was even revealed, yet here they are ignoring feedback on what fans want.    … Expand

    Unfinished game that feels like they rushed it out but still needed a year or two in the oven. The major bugs during the early access literally made the game unplayable. For 3 days in a row i boot it up just to crtl+alt+f4 when i can't even hold my gun scoped in during fights, even when i hold right click it goes in and out repeatedly.

    But ultimately even so, IF performance was perfect, the maps are huge and 128 players is cool on paper but because of this design decision the maps are ALL completely empty, devoid of cover, there is practically NO destruction and there is no levelutions anymore.
    There are barely any guns, operators are happy go lucky but the lore is dark and gritty, barely any skins or unlockables. This makes me think they intend on charging us for it all in the near future since they want this to be a live service game.
    I don't expect DICE to fix these issues any time soon.
    I cannot recommend this to anyone in it's current state. Maybe in a year IF they actually fix the game's lack of content.
    And for good measure, here's a list of ALL missing features compared to previous Battlefield games. This is NOT a "Love letter to fans".

    No single-player story (I could forgive if the base game actually had good content and lore but i see NO story or lore in the game)
    No standard server browser
    Fewer standardized game modes (Can't even play TDM or smaller scale modes without relying on community servers. Really?)
    Fewer base game maps than any other title (even including portal the map count is only 13)
    No persistent lobbies
    Fewer in-game assignments (none outside of cosmetic unlocks)
    No class system
    Less character customization options (than BF5)
    No profile progress/stats page in the menu
    No battle log/stats tracker for other players
    No global leader boards
    No end of round assignment progress screen
    No dog tags (they still sort of exist I guess?)
    No custom emblems
    Fewer achievements
    No medals
    A LOT Less destruction
    No map altering levolution
    No permanent community servers (would be useful for clans and events)
    Fewer guns (even including all the portal guns, BF4 still had more at launch)
    Fewer infantry gadgets
    No manual leaning
    No diving while swimming
    No high wall vaulting
    No crouch sprinting
    No backwards prone
    No explosion knockback
    No rolling after falling from heights
    No ammo or health pickup off teammates
    No scope zeroing
    No thermal optics
    No indirect fire gadgets
    Less anti-tank launchers
    No lock-on launchers (The M5 works with the SOFLAM but that requires 2 people)
    No AP mines/claymores
    No static weapon emplacements
    No fortification building
    No resupply stations
    No suppression mechanic (This one I don't mind but I'm including everything)
    Fewer vehicle types (and separate vehicle progression per faction even though they are functionally identical... why???)
    No squad wipe scoring
    No player damage points
    No vehicle damage points
    No vehicle kill assist points No headshot bonus No long-range kill bonus No assist counts as kill bonus No squad objective play bonus Oversimplified teamplay scoring (i.e. healing a teammate always gives you +5xp rather than the amount of health you give)    … Expand

The audio, the atmosphere, the gunplay! The maps! It had it all. And team play! Was great. Even tho BFV had it set of problems. The game mechanics were on point! Ex. Crawling on your back! Rolling on the ground when jumping from heights! Medics distance (so you know how far one is) some examples. Heck! Even BF hardline had a feature that BFV implemented. The mechanic where you no longer had to wait for certain roles to provide you with ammo, health. Just simply approach them and take what you need. And this entry here (2042) for some odd reason took all that away. Don’t get me started on the 2042 bugs, glitches and hit boxes and much more. Just get triggered thinking about them. Portal was their saving grace. But as of now they took away the XP and ranking up system within this mode cause people abused the system ( Farming) So now there is no point to play portal after like 3 games. Honestly, if you are reading this and haven’t bought the game and are fan of the pervious BF entries. No need to rush to purchase this game. Until hopefully they fix it. Anyways after three years in development, with numerous of staff and studios. I’m just really disappointed with this entry.… Expand

    2. Keeps disconnecting from online play
    3. Hit box isn't consistent and is trash
    4. Voice actor's lines are more appropriate for fortnight or Roblox
    5. Gun play is trash 6. Map design isn't nice maps are too empty
    7. UI is soooo bad you can't customise anything in it as well
    8. Destruction is set back to 1094

    the hardware requiered for it to run in a normal framrate is a joke. i got a 3080 and a 3900x with 32gb ram 3600mhz on a m.2 980pro and it runs so bad on 1440p that you could think my hardware is old, like 10 years old or more. Around 60-80fps, its a joke.

    bugs are everywhere, glitching thru the ground, airborne tanks, crabwalking soldiers, ground snifing soldiers running at super speed.
    the sound is terrible, you dont hear from where someone is coming. you only hear footsteps but cant say the direction. its pathetic, feels like 2006....

    this game needs months to get fixed, and if they "maybe" are able to pull a 180 with that game, i bet the game will be EOL already.

    the only "good" thing about Battlefield 2042 is Portal, and without that i would give the game 0 points. End of Blablabla

Pathetic customization: ~10 skins for every weapon, only 4 slots for attachments, some of them have similar stats, ~customization of vehicles is EQUAL to the 8 y.o. game and EVEN WORSE, for example, there is no    "We ArE aHeAd Of ScHeDuLe" - DICE

    1. No content: small list of weapons, 22 primaries, 3 sidearms, only 2 launchers. Both feel like abilities, not stand alone polished weapons
    2. Pathetic customization: ~10 skins for every weapon, only 4 slots for attachments, some of them have similar stats, ~customization of vehicles is EQUAL to the 8 y.o. game and EVEN WORSE, for example, there is no TV rocket on assault heli.
    3. Poor performance on high-end PCs: my rig is 5800x and 6900xt 16gb of b-die ram and I'm getting 70-110fps on medium with huge drops)
    4. Specialists gadgets don't contribute to teamplay, just takes the slot, thats' why being an engineer means you can carry additionally only a torch or landmine or launcher. Also the design and voice lines of specialists are cringy.
    5. Absolutely disgusting UI/UX (really counter-intuitive management of customization, weapon tuning etc althought overall visual style is practical and minimalistic), unusable commo-rose, which fire mode am I using? Why Sundance's grenade is shown like the incoming flak rocket, although it damages 70% less. Why do I cant make objective markers and other UI elements more transparent?
    6. All the problems they had in bfV are repeated: tearing camera, collisions, disproportion inside buildings, insensibility of weapon impact, what's wrong with c4/c5/dynamite throwing in every bf game? Meanwhile they managed to lose all good things: smart UI, variety of vehicles, vehicles tuning, towing, classes, destruction, leaning. After every spawn your character inspects a weapon (in comparison in mw19 it inspects only at the begging of the match) that takes some time and if you spawned in front of enemy you dont have time to kill him due to this animation
    7. Lack of competitiveness and balls: no scoreboard, no KD/SPM stat tracking, no chat, no insults, can't switсh team, can't switch squad, can't speak with squadmates even in Haha-zone, no spectator's mode. But you had a lot of time to work on and announce a non-binary character to placate some, huh?
    8. Bloom aka bullet spread. I know DICE is not IW and nobody was waiting the best shooting experince but implementing mechanics from 8-10 y.o. games (that weren't the best idea even back in the days) is a complete misstep. Moreover this random spread is even worse than it was in beta and previous games
    9. Season one is already delayed
    10. Bugs and errors are the least important thing as Im sure they will be fixed someday but still: invisible teamtag (both sides share the same list of specialists, so you can't really distinguish a friendly player w/o it), omitting animations of nade throwing, infinite reinforcement points and impossibility to spawn, to die, to ADS, to revive a teammate that died near the wall, awful hitreg (seems like the bloom was increased form beta to hide this), bugged reload notification, octogonal sun glare on Caspian border, broken fov, broken zooming on snipers and many many more. And Im not talking about kernel things like BSODs, crashes, mouse input lag etc. There are also a lot of things you don't understand are they bugs or features, like this aforementioned bloom or inability to invite the fifth player to party. Accidentally I had noticed the review of this guy https://www.metacritic.com/user/rosstergut and he is surprised that there are no wall running. Well, there is actually a hovercar which is able to climb

    I can clearly see how much work was done by concept designers who were resposible for overall visual style, music, the idea of proxy wars during global ecologic crysis, and I understand what this game could be, how ambitious it was initially, but everything went wrong. I believe, after 6 years of ambiguous installments in questionable settings, this one is the last nail to coffin lid.

    Pretty much all concerns everyone had were true: the specialist system makes no sense and defeats any cohesion that may have existed, making every single soldier on the battlefield play and build their class solely for themselves. The UI is absolutely atrocious and doesn't build on any UI customization from the previous games, from the awful tiny minimap to flag markers not disappearingPretty much all concerns everyone had were true: the specialist system makes no sense and defeats any cohesion that may have existed, making every single soldier on the battlefield play and build their class solely for themselves. The UI is absolutely atrocious and doesn't build on any UI customization from the previous games, from the awful tiny minimap to flag markers not disappearing while aiming and covering up enemies to the fact that the only way to identify enemies is by a color of a dot over their head, which leads to laughable situations where players run past their enemies thinking they're friends, and a remarkable amount of friendly fire. The gameplay is stiff and controls unresponsive, the gunplay is awful and the (admittedly, not all will agree) terrible weapon accuracy/bloom system is so much worse than in any game before. Graphically impressive, but ruined by vaseline TAA you can't turn off, and terrible framerate on a 9900k + 3080ti. The sound design is very good, but once again marred by some of the worst directional sound I've heard in a videogame, with a range of bugs from hearing footsteps of someone 300 meters away like they're directly behind you to not hearing tank cannon shots right next to you. Increase in player counts is a great idea in theory, but ruined by both the developers (completely unfitting map design) and the players themselves (the match turns into two blobs of 64 players running between capture points, with the only gunfights really happening when they meet or when helicopters come into play). Adding AI to multiplayer matches is an absolutely baffling idea, and the half-braindead artificial teammates make each match look even more like a bunch of headless chickens running around an open field. Map design, while absolutely gorgeous to look at, is atrocious for gameplay, with huge open areas where infantry is practically useless, while snipers and vehicles have a field day. Portal as it is is woefully lacking in content (much like the rest of the game), and the server browser won't even tell you the rules of any of the bazillion servers beyond tags like "custom points" or "changed movement". Protagonist specialists don't shut up, other specialists scream from both sides of the trenches in all kinds of languages throwing me off. The guns are laughably low quality, from attachments misaligned with the gun itself to 7.62 firearms using 5.56 suppressors to animations being incorrect for the specific firearm (see the bolt on the ACR during firing or the preparation/initial spawn animation on the AK74U), DESPITE BEING CORRECT IN THE PREVIOUS GAMES. I downloaded it genuinely hoping it'd be great despite the terrible beta and baffling design decisions, but I just couldn't bring myself to like it. Maybe in a year or so when portal receives enough content and the game goes 50% off I'll give it another shot, as I really want to like this game. The whole experience feels like it was build from scratch by someone who was described what Battlefield should feel like, but all they played is other popular modern shooters. Very glad my favorite Battlefield 4 servers are still full to tide me over until this game gets good, if it ever gets to that point.… Expand

    I've been a Battlefield fan for years, but this year they have taken Battlefield out of the game.

    Instead they are chasing recent trends in a desperate attempt to profit off microtransactions.
    CoD and Siege are making billions from cosmetics why can't we get in on the action.
    So they added Operators which completely destroy the class system we all love.
    Now we have 100s of the same person running around and I can't tell who my teammates are.

    Teamwork is gone since nobody has a role anymore. Snipers running around with rocket launchers. I've got no idea who is doing what anymore. Even have a hard time figuring out where I am on the map. It's just a confusing mess.

    As a mostly infantry player there are way too many vehicles. Hovercrafts are everywhere just running me over and gunning me down. Meanwhile the maps are so open there is no cover for me anywhere. Some capture points are so poorly designed that they are impossible to capture. One was on a roof with only 4 little elevators to get on top. Waiting up there are 3 hovercrafts and dozens of infantry already firing as soon as the door opens. It's a damn death trap.

    Back to the Operators I did not find the abilities very useful and did not use them most of the time.
    The lame quips they make at the end of the round makes me hate them even more.
    They have designations as assault, recon, ect. but that's meaningless since they can use everything.
    I don't even like the way most of them look. Only use the ones who look like normal soldiers.
    Feel like they are only a detriment to the game and a unnecessary addition.

    This no longer feels like Battlefield to me. They have removed the soul of what makes these games different from the competitors. Might as well just play Call of Duty. If you are a old fan of the series this will disappoint you.

If I didn't know better I'd have thought this was a cheap chinese knock off of the Battlefield series. I'm severely disappointed by the decisions that were made and the state this game is on release. Maps are also pretty boring and bland, it's mostly open fields of grass, dirt or sand with some containers somewhere. There are barely any weapons despite them having implemented the old ones for Portal. I will not review Portal because that's just old content ported to the new engine. Specialists imo are ok, but the cringe voice lines and forcing you to hear out the top 3 players voice lines ruins the actual dark feel of this game's scenario. I thought Cyberpunk would be a wake up call but apparently it acts as the leading example now. The contrast to a game like Forza Horizon 5 which is full of improvements, passion and good optimization is as high as on an OLED screen, infinite! I can not believe any high rating from critics, they either got payed off, have absolutely no standards or they generally have an agreement with publishers to only give good reviews. 1 year later and another disappointment.… Expand

    Wit this game I feel like I paid a lot and I am not getting what I paid for. It's like a rip off. Literally. And if I want the game to have a decent amount of content then I have to pay more for seasons and expansions. In short: EA being EA. I'm so happy they lost the Star Wars license.

    Never do this again EA. Never ever. This game runs badly on my RTX2070 with 32GB ram and i7 10th gen. I can't run it at more than 50-60fps on 1440p. What the hell is this? The graphics look so bad that I truly do not understand how my GPU can't run this at 144fps.

    This game needed 1 more year in development of simply fire the entire studio. Pandemic is never an excuse to deliver this garbage.

    What an incredibly bad game. I'm only giving it a 2 because of some interesting ideas like changing weapon attachments on the go and drones (controls barely work).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I usually am very understanding of a new title hitting the scene (the tight timelines, devs under pressure, whole nine) so I’ve learned to never expect perfection when it comes to a new release. That being said, my experience has cycled between utter disappointment and borderline disgust at the quality and polish of this game. Let’s just start with the good. The graphics are phenomenal and photorealistic at times. The on-the-fly attachment swap is a welcome change and keep the battles interesting. Lastly the Portal is a neat idea that brings a few titles back to light and is a nice addition. With all that being said, here we go into the cons. Firstly, gunplay is questionable at best, criminal at its worst. It feels like 5 steps back after defining the standard for projectile shots. The “operators” as most of the community will call them only feels like a sad attempt at trying to combine siege and COD only to fail in both departments. In a genre full of superhero’s with crazy powers and gear, battlefield made it feel empowering to be a regular soldier, medic, sniper, and support. Last of all is the overwhelming feeling of it being incomplete upon early access (I weigh this the least but thought it should be mentioned). I was really hoping for more and felt only let down by this new addition. Cmon Battlefield, you’re better than this.… Expand

    Empty husk of a game. No character or personality anywhere, a safe and sterile game, with less of everything than before (except empty landscapes).

Uninspired gameplay that borrows heavily on most popular franchises of last five years, and lacking on things that used to differentiate it from other games.

    Now the only thing this games does compared to other shooters, is 128 player servers. They doubled the player count, but made the maps five times bigger, making most of it empty.

    Others have given way more detailed answers on why and what. Money and monetisation.

    You should not buy this game. You should not encourage anyone to buy this.

The game has been stripped of many things that make it a battlefield title, no scoreboard or score system whatsoever. No rewards for doing anything. No meaningful class system. No incentive to team play. Specialists ruin the BF experience, it has become a meta-bound hero shooter, wont be long til everyone runs the same 2 Ops and guns.

    Maps are huge, empty and just.. lacklustre. We were promised the biggest and best BF experience, but its far , far from that. Almost 0 destruction or interesting map elements. Nobody wants to have to run a marathon for a fight, die due to weapon bloom and repeat. Its insulting how out of touch Dice truly are. How far they have fallen.

    Its very clear this game was a BR experience with Portal and AoW added at the last minute.

    Positives -
    Portal is a cool idea, crossplay support is cool.

Those two games had it's niches and should be left like that. I have a theory that shareholders wanted cod so they made this. I did not play hazard (I do not like battle royale) and I am not interested in Portal despite that it's a great game addon. Battlefield at it's core was always conquest. This should be priority.
    - crash after playing couple of hours
    - sound.. oh boy sound is ruined. I can't count how many times I was killed by vechicle next to me, or when I heard footsteps 4 stories above me. I tested Razer Spatial and Dolby Surround. It makes no difference.
    - no gamescore board
    - no server browser, you press play and you are randomly dropped to server. Last night i was thrown to same map couple of times in a row
    - terrible optimization (I remember discussion on chat where regardless of PC most players were hovering at 70 fps) with 3070, 32gb 3200mhz ram and 5600x at low/med settings on 1440 p I hover around 100 that drops below 50
    - invisible wars all over the place
    - getting stuck in textures
    - you can paradrop vechicles. The problem is that you can have a tank on a roof. Like why nobody has thought it's a crap idea.
    - complete lack of balance
    - all maps are for vechicles, there is not enough spots to concentrate infantry without getting killed by vechicles. At times its a running simulator just to get killed by vecicle at the end.
    - over half of servers run with one op weapon yet it's not locked (they locked in past some gadget's yet they won't lock pp). Generally it has almost no recoil, bullet spread, damage drop on range and high cap magazne. Noob tube like auto shotgun with frag ammo.
    - generally weapons that you unlock further are just weapons with same statistics but with ammo that gives more dmg (which can be unlocked in first weapons too, they have just opposite orders of unlock)
    - op hovercrafts. Need 3 RPGs almost same as tanks, canhave TOW missile/grenade launcher or minigun. Furthermore they can climb walls. Seen hovercrafts climbing skyscrapers..
    - bolte tank. Low profile, fastest, need 3 RPGs to kill, bulletproof except small windows. Can have mines/rockets/repair with smoke for driver and 30 mm cannon for passenger that works with overhearing mechanics and completely decimate infantry. Sounds op? Not for Dice. On some maps there can be 9 per team. Unplayable.
    - one side has a vtol air transport which can change engines and fly away like a plane on other team we have heavy chopper that does not have such ability. Like who designed this?
    - as in cod, silencer wins. Otherwise with this number of players when you shoot you are a lighted beacon on map.
    - specialists (like is it warzone). This was not needed and introdused another layer of balancing. Who would have thought that a guy with grapling hook will go where players should not be able to go generally? Or a specialist that has xray (like wallhack) or a specialist that gives armor completelty throwing weapon dmg stats out of the window
    - roseta menu is a square and clunky
    - ordering attacks or defend objectives is almost impossible without using rosetta. With those 2 issues combined almost nobody gives orders.
    - choppers. Little bird can kill a tank with ease. Just circling and hammering with 30mm not even using anti tank missiles.
    - little bird can eat even 3 67mm tank shells from wildcat tank and fly away/kill you.
    - generally ppl rarely shoot choppers with aa missiles. They drop chaff and run away. Before you lock it's gone. Heal and come back. Pilot just need to be patient. So when on pilot side it looks like a nightmare, in reality pilots will live and hammer down infantry/tanks when players will be out AA ammo/killed.
    - lock time on AA is so long that you propably will get killed before you lock.
    - everyone run with Proximy nades and both teams always know where is enemy
    - when you prone you move like with a seizure in some cases
    - aiming from some vechicles is impossible as crosshair is shacking without a reason
    - submachine guns are better than ar. Just hose with bulletsenemy preventing them from shooting (due to suppression bullets do not go where you aim)
    - when you disable vechicle part you just see part disabled (which? Yo uwill not know it's like an arcade game)
    - for some reason sometimes you loose your weapon loadout so you spawn without unlocks and have to reset it again
    - graphical glitches like floating windows after destroing a building
    - stll character models protrude walls as in every past installment. So you can shoot players leg sticking out of wal and kill him.
    I reached 5000 characters and still have list of issues.. 5000 characters is not enough to describe how bad this game is now.    … Expand

    As a huge Battlefield fan - I am very disappointed. This is not Battlefield.

    All in all, Battlefield 2042 has been a real labour of love for me. The initial launch was remarkably underbaked, but I can’t deny the enjoyment that comes from firing a rocket launcher into a tornado. This may not be the best FPS multiplayer game available, and there are still plenty of issues that need ironing out, but there are occasionally some thrilling moments that you won’t be able to experience in the likes of Call of Duty or Fortinte. It remains frustrating having to pay full price for a multiplayer game, but if you’re already a fan of the franchise and don’t mind missing out on the campaign, you’ll likely enjoy yourself here. The nostalgic aspect of Portal mode will also draw fans in, and of course, the 4K graphics make it very pretty game, even if it has its cracks.

    The weakest first-person shooter in the history of DICE. Even, by some miracle, the studio manages to fix the most glaring mistakes and reanimate the abysmal netcode, this game will not become Battlefield at its core.

    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.
