I give it two stars because is still "fun" because BF games have a very good skeleton, but both games are broken, and I say BOTH games because BF2042 is the sum of two different projects that EA DICE seem to have put together as neither of them are complete or polished. Portal feels like a HUB for old BF games or remakes that seems discontinued, is the most funny part of the game, but it doesn´t feel like the games is protraying, it doesnt have all the weapons of BF3 or Bad Company 2, and even the gunplay feels worse. BF1942 feels good because the old one is way too old, but that´s all. PORTAL is also a half baked product with way too few maps, and seems also to not use the full potential of DICE Engine, Frostbyte. BF2042 by itself is a mess that I will sumarize with few words, as many already explained their flaws, but basically, specialists, huge empty maps, absurd weapon bloom, 128 people chaotic combats (more is less), huge tons of bugs, a stupid lore where some people is "no pats" (have no country) but still fight under USA flag, huh? and the bad guys are Russian because... is easy. Only thing I enjoyed it HAZARD mode that is not more than a copy of Tarkov or similar games. But is tactical and it feels more fun than the mess, BF2042 is. To make the experience worse, the game is crossplay with PC (Only in the Next Gen); and due to the lack of Xbox or PS5 new units, lobbies are full of PC players, we console users DONT WANT to play with PC players, it really ruins the experience even more. I am glad at least I been able to play it 10 hours thanks to GAMEPASS / EA-PLAY because I cancelled the pre-order weeks before, and I wanted to give it a chance, but now I am definitevily happy that I cancelled the pre-order.
