Getting rid of classes and having no factions just makes this game COD plus size. I can’t tell friend from foe and a battlefield staple was having unique classes.

[@Drfhgh]

Im really not a fan of the movement. Close quarters hipfire gunfights are a nightmare with this movement. Players can turn on a dime and keep their speed while swerving across your screen. In my opinion bfv had excellent movement and this new movement lacks the same weight and interactiveness with the environment. Also unpopular opinion, I think the 128 servers and the new sector thing are huge mistakes. It was so intense in past games to capture a flag with just a few teammates and holding it from opponents. Now with the sectors you are instantly swarmed by enemies the moment they notice the flag being captured since they can spawn 100 meters away on the sector.

[@ALYXC7]

One of the main things I liked in bfv was the movement.

[@OlderThanAverageGamer]

[@antonhallergren588]

I'm not impressed tbh. This game feels like a free to play or a alpha build. Specialists suck, the art style sucks, the game looks graphically worse than the past 2, gunplay is weird and feels like a copy of cod, the recoil is inconsistent, movement is terrible everything feels floaty, network issues with hits not regging, bullet velocity is to slow and finally I think it's unacceptable to launch a multiplayer game even as a beta that won't run above a consistent 100 fps on low at 1440p on a ryzen 7 and 6800xt. I think this game needs a complete overhaul as it stands in this beta. All they needed to do was rerelease a bigger version of bf4 like bf4 was of bf3 and no one would complain. But instead they think it's a good idea to try to copy other games just to draw those games player bases to battlefield.

[@assassin56PSNTAG]

It seems like Specialists, while great in concept to provide a dedicated gadget type associated to some player archetype, feel a bit shoehorned in. I think having the original class system with the new freedom of weapon and gadget choice would be a better trade off. I can't seem to think of too many reasons to actually include specialists outside of maybe cosmetic options or the third gadget option. But even then, with classes you can dedicate that third gadget to each class. Hud indicators have been pretty solid with the exception that revive symbols are appearing from very far distances very blatantly, moreso than they should. As well the ping system doesn't seem to work consistently, if at all. If we are to keep specialists and their traits, I'd like to see Boris, for example, have an increased radius in which he can stand near his turrets to increase their effectiveness. Right now it feels like I have to be much too close to my turrets for them to be really be effective and often time there's squad members that need help that I have to abandon the turrets for, but then their effectiveness is drastically reduced. Those are my only thoughts for now, I've been enjoying the beta so far even with the bugs mentioned. This is giving me BF3 and BF4 nostalgia for sure.

[@nickhartmann8836]

unfortunately the specialists are staying at this point but it’s not too late to fix the class aspect of the game. They still have operators classified as certain classes. So it should be a relatively easy change to limit which operators can bring in certain equipment. If they role out the game like this it’s just going to turn into a meta gameplay experience with everyone running the same 2 operators and same load outs.

[@zakstephenson4545]

alot of ppl and youtubers been saying this but i dont see it, i dont think just because we can pick any weapon with any class we will all end up using the exact same guns. For one, battlefield is not a competitive game which essentially destroys this logic right here because even if we assume that there is a meta gun i cant imagine the millions of average battlefield fans choosing that gun over a gun they just want to use or like the feel of. Secondly, as a gamer how can u complain about having TOO many options like can your lizard brain not handle not being forced to use different guns

[@nickhartmann8836]

@@zakstephenson4545 why are you insulting me for having an opinion on gameplay? On a game that has been around for 20+ years with a great formula of squad work and classes. Battlefield is about team work and in that team using squad tactics. COD is a casual shooter too and guess what… everyone uses the meta weapons. The entire point is now everybody can run missile launchers. The medic operator can now also run an ammo crate essentially giving her unlimited heals / unlimited ammo. Obviously you don’t know what you are talking about bc in any game there’s a meta it gets abused until it gets nerfed and then creates a new meta. Rinse wash repeat.

[@nickhartmann8836]

@@zakstephenson4545 I think you’re in the minority on that one. We will see how the gameplay is once full release comes. I have a feeling everyone will run whatever operators are deemed as meta. There is no incentive to play as a squad anymore. Everyone can be a medic. Everyone can bring in ammo. I don’t care about the weapon freedom it’s more about the equipment and tools. The reason they went to operators is so they can capitalize on micro transactions and selling skins.

[@zakstephenson4545]

@@nickhartmann8836 except you can only choose one gadget, meaning except for Falk no one can run heals and ammo at the same time. Is this unbalanced? Maybe, but clearly it's not having a huge impact on gameplay because people are choosing the grapple hook because it's more fun. So if no one on your squad is running Falk then one person needs to run ammo, one heals, then one like rockets and the last person can choose. These are literally the exact same roles as the previous games. We are getting more variety and more interesting ways to play with our squads with all the extra gadgets they adding, the specialists arnt taking anything away from the game, I will say I hope we get some more interesting ones tho

[@getfragged7051]

The best solution for identifying enemies would be to make two different versions of each skin that have different colored camouflage. For each skin one team can have more of a digital/urban colored camouflage and the other more woodland or darker camouflage. They implemented this concept very well in previous battlefields that take place in modern times such as BF4. They can even have a few faction locked skins although I’d much prefer they just have the same skin colored differently for each faction. Not being able to differentiate friend from foe is one of my biggest issues with the gameplay.

[@vptknrn5939]

Best Things. The Gunplay:Combining with it's satisfying animations and great sound effects,along with the nearly perfect amount of feedback,makes BF 2042's gunplay one of the best i've experienced in an modern AAA game. The Graphics:I gotta say,they made the right choice by having this map as the map of choice in this beta. The environments are some of the most stunning I've seen in a Battlefield game,and the weather effects,especially the calm before the storm and the tornado,are downright gorgeous. Movements:Taking inspiration from the more recent COD games,most notably MW 2019 with it's tactical-sprint,the movement in this game is buttery smooth,making it satisfying to navigate through the map in this game. FOV Slider on consoles:The inclusion of an FOV slider was one of the first things I've checked upon loading up the beta,even though it's just a standard FOV slider,the inclusion is enough to completely change the experience for the better compared to the previous games on consoles. The Worst Things. The Specialist system:Look,let's be honest,we all know why this feature was implemented in place of the class system.Admittedly,I was not a huge fan of this change upon seeing it in the trailers as imo part of the Battlefield experience is that you're a no named grunt fighting in a massive battle. But seeing them in action,I quickly grew to outright dislike this feature. From the blatant advantages some specialists have over the other(I.e Webster with his grabbing hook compared to Casper's pathetically EMP drone),to the confusion such a feature caused by having identical specialists on both sides,makes this an outright baffling 'feature'.I'm sure there are better ways to implement specialists in Battlefield,but at it's current state?This ain't it chief. The bugs:Notably the graphical bugs,like the shadows disappearing all of a sudden and the bullet tracers leaving a black trail,to gamebreaking bugs that quite literally spawned me underneath the map,these bugs are expected as it's a beta,but I'll be lying if they didn't affect my experience with this game. The Revive System:OK,this is one I'm genuinely frustrated about. What happened to the defibrillators of BF3-BF4?With BF 2042,DICE somehow made a 'frankenstein' feature that combines both the defibrillator and BF5's animation revive system,but what we got was the worst of both worlds. Instead of having the defibrillator as a gadget for reviving teammates or playing an animation of you reviving the teammates,BF 2042 sees your character charging the defibrillator for 3 seconds or so,then the reviving procedure ends.Although three seconds don't seem like a lot in real life,it matters a lot in a game like Battlefield,where you're constantly thinking of strategies to beat your opponents to the curb,and that three seconds critical between getting to fight another day,or meeting your untimely demise. And as a medic player,this change truly disappointed me. Not to mention that due to the reduction of the respawn timer and the fast regenerative health,a medic's service is barely needed in this game. The lag:200-1000 ping+ servers,enough said.

[@K_FI_L_Y_P_S_O]

If they keep the grappling hook they NEED to buff the medic at least. Because no one revives, and especially with weapon freedom there's just zero incentive to pick her with her syringe being pretty much useless and even her being able to pick up everyone with 100hp. Regen makes her useless and the medic bag is better than the syringe because it's fast and doesn't take your damn gun away for a few seconds.

Look at the state that bf4 was in at launch and that game is still being one of the most played battlefield games.

HUD issues: it would be nice to see the points in the same position where you have the kill skull icon, in the center. Specialists: I like the idea of customising your character with any weapon you want, but every player looks the same. Would be nice to just have skins and special trait as distinct things. Snipers: bullet speed is so low and the map is so big that sniping is very hard. I think it need to be tweaked.

performance wise its the best BF beta ive ever played, i have between 90-and 120 depends of course on settings, but its a really smooth 90 fps!

Great beta, i have a lot of fun together with some friends. Playing alone is harder since the scale is so big, so maybe not fun.

For me I’d prefer reworking the specialists so that they keep their individual perk but then have access to a series of class specific gadgets. Eg Casper would have his motion sensor ability but then be able to only chose 2 from a series of “recon” type gadgets like the drone, C5 and spawn beacon etc. Then when they add further specialists they can be categorised by class and also have access to their class specific gadgets. So if they add a new medic type character they’d have a new perk specific to them but get to choose from the same “medic” gadget pool as Maria Falk (syret gun, medpack etc). Would be the best of both worlds imo.

Performance: I play on a first gen i9 and a 2080 Super with 32 GB RAM. 3440x1440 ULTRA Runs flawless.... I don't know what people with 30XX cards are doing or running or how their PCs are set up to have performance issues. Technically my rig is all "last gen" of everything and runs perfect. Just my 2c

[@samsillis175]

I have a 3060 with a ryzen 7. I was hoping for more graphical options but the game runs flawlessly. I do think the game could look better

[@denesk2794]

@@samsillis175 I don't think it looks bad, especially for the map size. On Ultra it looks pretty good. However, I still play BF4 regularly, and if they just collected game modes from 4, 1, 5 and put it into a new game with BF 1/5 graphics, it would be perfect for me. At the end, when I play I turn off lens flare, and chromatic aberrations, and definitely motion blur..... realistically, unless it is an "eye-candy" single player I probably turn RTX off as well. :) I have it on on BF V though and with DLSS it runs good even in 3440x1440 .... at release time I had a 2060 and RTX was unplayable. It would even crash :)

[@samsillis175]

@@denesk2794 the game doesn't look bad, but if you look at the new squad update coming you can see how the game could look a lot better even if the map is bigger

Do you think they brought random bullet deviation? There’s something off about gunplay

[@lukass5699]

Not enough buildings to much openess. Battlefield V destruction was 100 times better. Specialists suck. All classes but grapple hook are trash. Map to big, I suggest to fix this by making some sectors like Bravo and D1 and D2 worth more points making it so you can see more players however add more buildings in those areas with Better distruction. Guns are very boring to use and kills aren't satisfying to get. Feel like D1 and D2 has so many players but not enough buildings.

[@ajarmetta]

Ive heard that the destruction is pretty much bc2 level on 2042 but portal remastered maps have full destruction

[@steriskyline4470]

Why should we be fine with a billion dollar game franchise releasing buggy though? They’ve made so many bf games they should have it down to an art form at this point.

[@UninformedThinker]

Best thing: Climate changes like tornadoes etc. Worst thing: lack of personalization with weapons and specialist classes

[@cyclonus8135]

They should have kept the class system the same as BFV now it seems nothing is off limits people don’t revive people now so it sucks

Nothing will beat Battlefield 4. I'd rather play battlefield 4 over 2042. BF2042 just doesn't feel realistic or enjoyable unlike bf4 and I played bf4 on PS3 AND PS4 and absolutely love it.

[@mr_ako662]

There are long standing bugs across many bf titles that were never fixed never mind the obvious bug in just one title. What exactly are you talking about?

[@findawaytowin2968]

To this day Bf5 has this bug where my player will do a reload animation 2 or three times in a row without me even firing and it gets me killed in a close quarter encounter when I try and fire.. the big is here in the beta too which already has me annoyed. This is what I get for pre ordering a damn game. Never again

[@tonymarchese9288]

Why is it that I can play an american specialist on the russian side and a russian specialist on the american side breaks my emerson completely

[@rendellfidelity345]

Honestly when you mentioned BF4 was the most buggiest beta in recent memory. you should consider the fact that dice only had 2 years to develop that game. Gamers were literally calling it Battlefield 3.5 (to be honest its my favorite in the franchise) . When you consider BF2042 had more than enough time after BFV and SWB2 last updates in development and the beta looks like this... worst of all whatever happened to EA and game articles saying "DICE is ahead of development in the next battlefield" MY F^&@##^ ASS !

[@Sebmyname4ever]

best thing : it's free worst thing : doesn't run good + buggy + bad visibility + confusion teammates/ennemies + one specialist only good + map problems + ui problems + ai bots problems

[@demontongue9893]

All I care about is optimisation, my ryzen 3600 and gtx 1070 should be more than enough as its more than enough for every other game on ultra so why is my setup just cutting the cheese for low settings ? I think we all know it's not out builds. one other very small gripe, I don't like those hitmarkers at all I hope there's hardcore mode from launch that's how I like to play it but if I'm forced to play normal mode like in battlefield V for years I don't want to see those horrible hitmarkers they flare around the character like an aura when they die it looks like and arcade kill YOU WIN +100 lol

[@ZBurd]

they took my hud and my family billy, help.... but the bug/weird thing I'm getting was when my Xbox controller disconnects and I sign into my profile again, my hud disappears, and then when I die I cant respawn again, but hey it's just a beta, and I was mostly enjoying myself.

[@chrisnewton2325]

I don't care about a few glitches the game runs fine enough I'm tired of having bugger all to play it feels amazing on series X for me

[@afuturesoldier]

the specialist thing for me is alright it just the freedom of weapons. i thing the kit package thing should determine what kinds of weapons you can use. like similiar to the class system from before but with universal weapons like in bf4. theres not alot of incentive for teamplay with this cuz you can just support yourself on almost every front. for example as Faulk you can heal yourself and carry an ammo bag.

[@rendellfidelity345]

Playing as these specialists is bullshit. Bring me back the immersion of playing as a unnamed soldier boots on the ground action. Not this hero shooter shit.

[@nguyenanhnguyen7658]

Gun in 2042 is very hard to handle compares to other games, sniper for example, I do not feel like it although I am a pretty good one in all BF series.

[@EllDavis]

BF4 Déjà-vu. I call it "Bugglefield 2042".

[@picklechin3061]

I’m gonna say it. This is not only the worst Battlefield I’ve ever played, but probably among the worst FPS games I’ve ever played. Movement and gunplay is janky to the point of frustration. I do have a question that may or may not contribute to this opinion but has anyone else experienced vertical sensitivity being A LOT lower than horizontal sensitivity? It makes aiming and controlling recoil miserable.

[@reaperkillz2420]

"Where not getting any crashes". Speak for yourself, I've only played 5 full rounds and its crashed twice. That said my PC is mid spec so might be struggling abit. Tried low settings and the game looks potato asf so running on high which might be stretching my PC abit. Enjoying the beta so far anyways.

[@LegeFles]

It should just be the gadget instead of the specialist.

[@madmike5421]

Well I guess you weren't there for BF2, that launch was a mess bigger then BF4. My biggest issue is unit identification. Upon first spotting,especially if they are close you can not identify by either color code above then(because it doesn't show), or uniform because they all seem alike. Differently need work on uniform and high light color coding. Also the colors they chose for the interface suck. go back to the BF4 color scheme. It's been a staple since BF2 and change for change sake is stupid.

Overall vehicle and rocket launchers feel week. I think specialists are fine I literally don't notice it in game. Except when the Canadian talks, why dose he have a jersey accent. I also don't like the visibility, I like 3d spot idk what the community thinks. It makes it so hard to spot stuff in planes This feels like a beta for a video game. I feel they have done a decent job for that
