One of the worst Battlefield games ever. Atleast BF5 had potential and the framework for a good game. 2042 has nothing. They have removfed alot of what made battlefield so amazing. Things like classes gave direction and purpose to everyone. Destruction was a core tenant for battlefield. Now it's an afterthought. Very little of the maps are destructible. There is no server browser and last I checked, You have to squad up with your friends before getting into a match, you will not be able to join on them like you could in previous games. there's a button for it but it doesn't work. There is no server browser either nor is there squad management (switching squads, making new squads) which makes it impossible to play with more than 3 friends. In previous games, my group would have 8-10 people playing together. That is completely impossible now. There is no support for clans. Then you have the specialists. I enjoy the specialist gadgets and if they had implemented those with classes instead of specialists, I would have been okay with it. But specialists are unbalanced, cringy, and just generally don't work well with Battlefield. The maps are awful. not only are they the worst I've played in the Battlefield franchise, but they are the worst that I've played in ANY shooter. They lack character, ambiance, and tone. There is very little in the way of cover. Vehicles dominate and it is difficult to traverse the map. The objectives are boring. No destruction, and the maps have no flow. general there are way to funnel players in certain ways without restricting us too much. Battlefield has historically done this really well but 2042 is wide open. There is so much empty space that exists for no reason. and with 128 players, it's just chaos (particular breakthrough thought they have recently removed 128 Breakthrough so that's good). I haven't even mentioned bugs. Even if all the bugs were fixed, this game would still be garbage. Don't buy this game. Don't give them your money.

I've played video games my entire life and this game is by far the longest I have ever consistently and continuously played a game. I got Siege soon after it released and haven't put it down since. Its one of the most difficult and challenging games I have ever played not only from an FPS perspective, but from a mental standpoint as well. Consequently, It is also one of the most rewarding gaming experience of my life. Every match is different thanks to diverse and varied maps along with the existence of a large variety of different operators, each offering something unique to the game. There is no feeling like being in a mental chess match with the enemy team as you scout out their defenses and work with your team to slowly chip away. As you play the game more and more, your game awareness increases allowing you to take decisive action to try to get the win regardless of odds. The biggest reason why this game has held me for so long is the commitment Ubisoft has made to the game providing free maps (or redesigns) and 2 new operators every season. The seasons themselves are consistent and their schedule very predictable which is fantastic for the player base. While new operators are very expensive (25,000 renown when they first release) It is completely feasible for players to collect that much and unlock them. And while the newer operators are blocked by high renown costs, the original operators are still very low (2,000 renown) and some are arguably better if not equally as good as the DLC ones, make the playing field fair and even. A couple of pointers: If you plan on getting this game, I would HIGHLY suggest you purchase a decent headset. Sound plays an extremely important role in this game as it is one of the most fundamental information gathering tools you have. I have won countless matches thanks to me hearing the enemy before I see them. In connection with this, If you plan on playing ranked in the game, I would highly suggest having a mic with your headset. A team communicating will win more times than not. The game is not without its flaws. The one I want to touch on and focus on is the small minority of the player base that embraces toxic behavior. When the game first came out the player base was largely older teens and younger adults. as a result, the fanbase was probably the most friendly and mature in gaming at the time. But as the game has grown more popular, younger players and players looking to cause trouble have change everything. Team killing and general toxic behavior and flat out rudeness has increased exponentially and made the game not enjoyable at times. Ubisoft made an important step with the implementation of reverse friendly fire however more needs to be done in terms of enforcement. The most common thing that ruins my day in siege are people who will jump onto voice chat to verbally abuse you because you weren't able to get a kill or clutch a match. Then it escalates further when people try to remove you from the match or if that fails, their first move will be to kill you next match. It sours your mood and playing experience. There is an ingame report button however their is a wide spread belief that the report function does almost nothing. Its makes mature players who just want to enjoy the game feel powerless. If they only informed us that action was taken against a player we have reported we might feel more engaged and it might act as a deterrent. But overall, siege is a game that will have you hooked for literally years. I strongly suggest it and stick with it. Its a tough game and will take time to get the hang of. It is also much more enjoyable with friends. If you don't have any who play siege, I can almost guarantee you that you'll find one eventually in siege.
