![]() ![]() It’s a stunning game – and performs well at 4K on my machine no matter how many explosions were going on, probably the result of EA skipping over ray-tracing and instead including Nvidia’s DLSS rendering tech. Indeed, before I get on to everything that doesn’t quite work right in 2042, it is worth giving a shout to the graphics, performance and sound for being solid. Similarly, when it sheds these bizarre additions, and you can play the traditional class-based Battlefield in the Battlefield Portal, it works. When the game works – and occasionally, in spite of itself, it will – it’s hard not to enjoy the sheer “ Battlefieldiness” of the whole experience, giggling with friends as your little AA tank trawls through skirmish after skirmish, shooting down helicopters and fleeing the “real” battle tanks that can very easily put a hole in you. Elsewhere, every gun in the game is, well, a bit shit and the only way to resolve this is to get kills with them to try and earn the attachments that will make them slightly better. BATTLEFIELD 5 REVIEW FULLYou’ll spend a lot of the time trying to escape death by helicopter as the skies are full of them, but if you aren’t careful while running away from them, you’ll be killed by hovercrafts, a “light” vehicle that still has enough armaments to single-handedly invade Iceland. Customising loadouts is hard work, getting your hands on a vehicle is hard work, working out what you’ve unlocked is hard work. I’ve softened on this and, with the servers full of Battlefieldfans and after some time on with the progression system, I think it’s playable, but still a huge misstep for the Battlefield franchise.Īt the simplest level, Battlefield 2042 just feels like a chore. READ MORE: How ‘Fallout: New Vegas’ taught me to love the apocalypseĪfter 12-15 hours of playtime at the private (digital) review event held by EA ahead of the game’s release, I said in my review in progress that it was hard not to view Battlefield 2042 as one of the year’s biggest disappointments.That’s important, because with Battlefield 2042, it feels like the game itself is working hard to cut as much away from the game as possible, offering up a game crammed with weird new systems that feel like they’ve been shoehorned into a franchise that, really, doesn’t need them. Stuff like this can be funny, but the same can't be said for all of the bugs we encountered.The Battlefieldfranchise has always been about finding your own fun. There is one common bug where mounted weapons will disappear, but soldiers can still "shoot" them, so it looks like bullets are flying out of their outstretched arms. However, the vast majority of these bugs were not game-breaking, and some were even amusing. In our time with the game, we ran into a technical issue or weird glitch of some kind in nearly every match. Some of this content will be available within the next few weeks, but in the case of Firestorm, players have to wait until March 2019 to try it out.īesides the notably absent content, Battlefield V also comes across as somewhat unfinished due excessive bugs. The menus are dotted with game modes that won't be available until later on, like Tides of War, co-op, a fourth War Story single-player campaign mission, and of course, the Firestorm battle royale mode. First and foremost, Battlefield V is a little light on content out of the gate, and at times feels unfinished. ![]()
