So I played a bit. I really wish there was more recoil. And classes. I hope they put classes in.
Ok so i played it…no snipey snipey yet but its in beta so as soon as it launches the vastness of the maps will have lots of snipers…
The visuals are very nice and the game play feels ok as well.
As of now im not sure if i will buy it…
I’m finding the helicopters really fun to play.
Played around 3 hours, really liking it, gunplay feels nice…but…ummm…so AA missiles are utterly and completely useless?
I know its a beta, so some bugs, but does anyone else see the helicopters do those crazy rubber banding in the air?

Had a good couple of rounds last night. The rocket launched once, but still no tornado.
It is definitely a Battlegield game and I like it! Two things worried me though:
- choppers rule the whole game, again. A good pilot seems unbeatable.
- i got a little bored after 4 or 5 matches. Hopefully that is because of the same map, and this will be better in the full game.

I respawned into the tornado and was like wtf is happening, I did not know there would be a tornado…
I also got bored after a couple of rounds…

It just doesn’t do enough to spice up the formula I’m afraid. While it is still Battlefield, and I love it as much as the next guy, it just doesn’t make me want to come back to it or keep playing it. It’s great to play when you’re trying to burn some time or in need of some mindless action, but there are other things I would rather be doing or playing.

Don’t like it at all. We don’t need that just give us normal soldiers and classes.
A quick look at gameplay in some of the other new maps:

Not going to lie - if anything really interests me about BF2042, it’s Battlefield Portal. Just watched the LevelCap video covering it, and like JackFrags, the opinion is very positive.
The fact that anyone can use the editor to create a fully customised Battlefield environment, even without owning the game, is amazing. All those Battlefield Reddit posts that start with “I wish they would…” are now essentially possible. Go create your own damn game mode and options and stop whining on Reddit about how useless the devs are!
