As everyone already knows, this game fucking sucks.

Luckily I didn't buy this game, as after playing the beta I saw that this was not gonna be good. The person I'm file sharing with did however, so I've gotten full access to the game, played on PS5.

I've always been a big battlefield guy, always preferred it over COD or Halo, until BFV lol. But this is way worse than BFV, this game is missing a lot of features that the majority of past BF games have had.

I mean we're talking no scorecards, no changing
teams, no changing squads, no 5 man squads, no consistent servers (though there are in portal) HUGE lack of gun variety, seriously BF4 had more guns than 2042 and Portal combined AT LAUNCH.

The game is an unfinished half-baked mess, missing a boatload of features, all neatly put in a reddit post somewhere, you can find it if you want.

Also a huge issue is in the core game itself; it doesn't know what it wants to be. Getting rid of the class system and replacing it with a hero system was terrible, classes are core to what makes Battlefield Battlefield. It's been speculated and rumored BF2042 was originally made as a battle royale, but they scrapped that and had to make an actual battlefield game from it within 18 months. And I believe it. The hero system doesn't really work well at all in conquest lol, also only two game modes not including portal? what a joke. The hero system allows for more micro transactions (skins for each hero), I think this is also a big reason why they made this change.

The maps are all horrendously large and don't promote infantry game play, I mean seriously if you're infantry you're dying a lot in this game. None of the maps are very innovative or creative, just bland whatever type maps. Also destruction is very minimal, Bad Company 2 had more destruction for fucks sake.

With the introduction of 128 player matches (doubling the player count of past games) This makes the game extremely laggy! Servers will constantly struggle to support this many players and you will constantly experience this "rubber-band" effect. And idk if this is because of lag, but the hit registration is broken.

I could go on for days about how much this game fucking sucks, but I don't really have to, everyone else already has and you get the point.

Game sucks, don't buy it and support such shitty launches.
