    $0 for this game is still too expensive

        Not really. There are plenty of free games that are not worth wasting your time on.

        I tried this before launch and gave up after an hour. It just wasnt fun in the slightest.

                Quote where i, or anyone in this comment chain said this is the worst game ever.

                  @Duff5000: Read the comments from any of the BF2042 deals, it's all there.

                  Just for clarity, I preordered it and returned it for a refund a week later, as I didn't think it was in a state that was worthy of the paid price.

                  But to say it's not worth playing, even if it were free, is just plain ridiculous and exaggeration at it's finest.

            @magic8ballgag: I know BF games, I played almost all of them over the years. Some competitively.

            Tried a few maps. None looked remotely interesting. Far too big, if you didn't have a vehicle you spent ages running across an expanse of nothing just to get shot and do it again.

            There is a reason this has dropped in price so much. It, imo, just isn't actually fun to play. I dont expect perfection, played and finished Cyberpunk. Had some bugs, was still fairly decent. This i had no bugs but just didn't find interesting at all.

              Now I know you either didn't play it at all, or you're lying.

              The game had (and still has) plenty of bugs at launch, and each round goes for at least 30 minutes, how many maps did you actually play?

              • Duff5000 on 21/02/2022 - 18:06

                @magic8ballgag: "Now I know you either didn't play it at all, or you're lying."

                wtf are you talking about?

                I didn't notice bugs means i didn't play it? That's a pathetic argument. Worse than your made up "dub a game the worst ever after playing it for an hour" you tried earlier.

                "round goes for at least 30 minutes". wow, i wonder how i could have seen a few in an hour? you didn't put any thought into that one did you…

                Crap game is crap. If you like it, good for you. go play it.

                Personally i wouldn't waste my time even if it was free. If they fix it (inc resease new maps) i might pay $20.

                    "I'm not sure, maybe you have a time-bending machine?"

                    If you cant work out how someone could try a few maps in an hour without a time machine that says more about you than anything else.

                    " brags about being a veteran player"

                    Didn't "brag" at all. You had a go at blueastro for exaggerating yet you seem like a pro at it.

                    In this thread: "OMG someone on the internet didn't like a game i like, that cant possible be true!" Give it up already.

    I got it for free as part of a redemption and thats still not enough…..no servers available half the time, mostly AI opponents. Good maps but only really 3 playable in conquest.

    Agree, free to play forever would be the only redemption for this piece of crap. Play battelfield 4, Waaaaaaay better.

    Like others said, even going free to play isn't even worth it since EA has already given up on it. Fat chance they'll fix the myriad of issues when they've already started working on the next installment. At least Cyberpunk has been practically reborn again.

    If you have cash and you want to buy a game, buy yourself "Escape from Tarkov". Far more immersive, step learning curve but 1000 times better than Bf2042. I played Bf2042 less than 5 hours and could already tell it was complete trash. I haven uninstalled and vowed to never pre-order again

        Thanks, I think this post says it all

        Also what bad about the game:

        • No classes
        • Wide open maps with no cover
        • Maps are too big and turns the game into a running simulator
        • No scoreboard
        • No changing squads
        • No changing teams
        • Awful hit registration
        • Awful random bullet deviation
        • Broken hover tank that can scale walls and harder to blow up than a tank.
        • Bug that won't allow you to re-deploy when you die. You have to leave the game.
        • Bug that will show your team mates as enemies and they can knife you to death
        • Only 22 weapons, of which 2 are actually good.
        • Attachments unlocked that are cosmetic only.
        • Some attachments do the opposite of what the description gives.
        • XP disabled in custom portal games
        • Attachment progression disabled in AoW Solo / Squad matches.
        • Crashes and disconnects
        • Persistence data error that makes the game unplayable.
        • Only two modes on 7 maps for AoW that feels like you are playing wide open fields.
        • Control points in breakthrough mode on top of skyscrapers what can't be captured because there are 11 vehicles on top.
        • Hit registration, or lack there of. You will dump an entire clip into an enemies back to have them turn around and kill you.
        • You can get in a vehicle and shoot and kill yourself because the animation still has you outside of the vehicle.
        • Crap FPS on the highest end systems. Changing the settings makes virtually no difference.
        • No stats page
        • No server browser
        • Lobby disbands after every game, no carryover
        • No distinctions between factions except the glow stick colors. Soldiers around the world wear glow sticks to make themselves unseen to the enemy. Sometimes you see the Betty White specialist kill the other Betty White specialist who is then revived by the Betty White specialist.
        • When you spawn in you are forced into an animation of chambering a round that you can't avoid. If you spawn near an enemy, you are dead.
        • Not nearly enough destruction.
        • Can't change the scale of the UI, or the zoom of the minimap.
        • No all chat
        • No bullet damage on hit, this goes for vehicle hits too.
        • Finding yourself on the map or the mini-map can be… challenging.
        • You can't dive under water but…
        • You can fall through the map
        • Portal
        • No single player campaign that was left out to focus on the multiplayer.
        • No spectator mode
        • No community servers
        • No test range
        • No 3d spotting
        • No contextual leaning
        • No crouch sprinting
        • No scope zeroing
        • No tiered or paused reloads
        • No melee weapon choices
        • No thermal optics in the future
        • No Claymores
        • No first person takedowns which are different based on positioning.
        • No naval vehicles
        • No gunner direction indicator
        • No TV missles
        • No vehicle kill assists. Do 95% of the damage… Well, too bad.
        • No in-game VOIP at launch
        • No static weapon emplacements
        • No infantry focus maps. You will get farmed by vehicles.
        • UI is…well…in”

    I have never been scammed or physically robbed in my life - until I purchased this game at launch. This game is literally the definition of a cash-grab.

  • DaTa on 20/02/2022 - 17:10

    A large number of the Battlefield and Battlefront games have been failures, filled with bugs, DLC cash grabs and i would be stupid to give up my hard earned for this game.

    • AlienC on 20/02/2022 - 17:26

      That and they all go to under $5 eventually and by then it has improved a bit and more content.

      Case in fact BFV is a much better game now than even few months after release and way cheaper.

      It just always pays to wait you ain't missing out on anything it's not like life where your body will shut down after awhile and if they do close down by the time you get to it you probably dodged a bullet and the private community may revive it if it is truly worth it.

      Case in point cod4 servers after years and years and years.

          The beta was enough for me not to buy it, alot of people were hoping things would be fixed and ready for launch, does anyone remember BF hardline? it had two alphas/betas before it launched.

          Love it how I got negged even when the game does suck.

  • kaleidoscope on 20/02/2022 - 19:31

    So glad I did not purchase this at launch. I did play the game over a weekend that they did offer for free. It was not that bad as the reviews say but would not have spend much time with it so could have been a waste of money.

    Only buy if you got few friends to play it with as random pub aint no fun on such large maps.
