Battlefield 2042 is here and this is my full console settings guide. I've packed as much detail in as I could manage without going on for too long.

The first big battle for any player when a new Battlefield game is released: the settings menu(s)! 😂

[@kylesalmon31]

Ain’t that the truth lol. They make their settings to complicated.

[@sebastiangavran1884]

I roll With the standard lol just sensitivety

[@baddoni12]

Remember games where you just had to deal with what they made. And it was totally fine if not better! All these settings throw you off and take so much time to figure out…

[@kylesalmon31]

@@baddoni12 I miss those days. Everyone had the same settings except maybe sensitivity. I’ve been playing since original Nintendo lol.

"Don't care what other people think, it's in the game." Love it, mate. Excellent video. Thank you! Probably the most straight forward controller setup video I have seen thus far.

After only playing BF1 for the last many years, I finally decided to get BF 2042 after seeing the positive feedback on the latest update for it that dropped a couple days ago. First thing I did was come to your channel to look for a video like this - cheers!

[@dizank9210]

Thanks for taking the time to post this. BF2042 felt really weird when I first started playing it. This video helped me out a lot.

[@monolithix487]

I don’t know if it’s just me, but moving your camera while shooting when aiming feels…choppy? I don’t even know what to call it, but it feels weird

[@codyweyland6830]

Man everything seems to feel off and not as smooth as the previous battlefields, making it almost unbearable to play

[@6steveo9]

It's not even properly released tbf and I don't think those with early access are playing on a 1.0 version of the game. I feel like I've been scammed into paying to be part of a beta test tbh.

[@globalsaturation7333]

Really ? Feels like it has battlefield 4 DNA in it for me and I spent 15k hours in 4 so I can sense the familiarity

[@KAPAFlyer]

Yup. I've set all my controls to the same settings since BF4. They really fucked up with this one.

[@thethiccdonut5257]

I thought I was the only one and I'm coming from Apex, which has some of the worst aim settings I've used in an FPS

[@theoracle3579]

@@6steveo9 if im reading correctly its the Version 0.2.0 of the game....so ur right

[@4valve4six]

This made a night and day difference in my gameplay. It was almost unplayable but now feels amazing

[@jrabb52]

Did u copy all his settings? This shit feels so bad ive looked at like 5 diff settings videos and none of them hve really made a difference shit just feels weird i gotta try extra hard

[@dusttodust915]

prob I'm having is that it doesn't feel like there's any aim assist at all and the guns recoil just shoots up into the air.

[@radjamss6390]

Yeah I noticed that too. The vertical recoil is so strong it’s hard to hit anything at distance. I know your comment is a month old and you may not be struggling anymore but if you’re at distance and let’s say using the AK42, then switch to single shot or burst and the vertical recoil is significantly reduced.

[@dusttodust915]

@@radjamss6390 No prob, I'm still feeling it with every gun I touch except the sniper/marksmen rifles. that's only cause i haven't gotten around to using them yet. Plus, even with some that already have low recoil like m5a3, AC-42 and smgs will be very accurate for 2-4 kills then all of the sudden the recoil just increases and trying to hit someone at mid-range to a little beyond mid-range is like trying to someone from the other side of the map and the aim assist isn't much better more than half the time i don't think it's even on.

[@Cthulhucheese]

Hey man thank you so much for the help bro I was trying to figure out the settings and it just ended up confusing me so thank you so much I can play the game now🙂

[@HerbalSergal]

One of the biggest issues I’ve noticed with “Alternate” on the buttons is two things: 1. The stick press also changes the scopes that have multiple magnifications. In other BF’s it wasn’t an issue, but in this one, if you do so with Alternate, you will also be ducking and standing when changing the magnification. 2. When in the Corss menu on Alternate, pressing O/B to change your ammo option will cause you to knife and exit your Cross menu. You have to hold it down for a second to let it switch, you can’t tap it. So even though I agree and prefer Alternate, until the fix these issues, or if someone knows a way to address it, it literally WANTS you playing on default, lest you be plagued by these annoyances with multi-magnifying scopes and adjusting cross menu ammo. :/

[@xl0ner]

100 % agree

[@mtheusaddams755]

I don't its a old gen issue or is in general, but to me the sensibility still not smooth like bf4, bf1 bfv or any other battlefield. The vertical and horizontal moviment on the aiming sensitivity is weird! Its a bit better than the beta version but still don't feel good

[@nofx1990ue]

I have the same problem on ps4 and I’m afraid it’s an old gen issue. Hope day 1 patch will patch this.

[@6steveo9]

This might be a redundant question and if you're aware of this already then fair enough, no offense meant; but is your TV or monitor in game mode?

Don’t worry about it being a you thing. I have a long history of settings guides and 5 years of covering BF… I’m still struggling to make BF2042 feel good. Keep tweaking it. Good luck.

Yep. Uniform aiming. Coefficient. Aim ratio All the different aims. So frustrating

Thank you so much for this deep dive on the settings menu. I'm just getting started on this game today for the first time. I did play battlefield 5 a couple times but didn't like it because no one ever revives you. I'm assuming your playing on something different than the PS4, because there are a few areas in the settings menu where you have stuff I don't. But this was a HUGE help, one of the best in depth settings deep dive I've seen.
