Got guests over for the weekend, and back to work next week though.

What's really impressive in Battlefield 2042 is the variety that's on offer. It lets you play a bunch of different kinds of FPS experiences--in different game modes, in different Portal rule sets, and even in the same match as you switch between characters. Portal lets you relive the Battlefield games of the past, but on the 2042 side, DICE has cherry-picked from popular trends like hero shooters and battle royales. The best part is that, mostly, it has done a really effective job of curating those additions so that they bring more to what players already like about Battlefield, rather than change what already works.

Battlefield 2042 brings the sandbox back to the series in bold and controversial ways. The new Specialist system might seem like sacrilege at first, but it opens up gameplay opportunities that weren’t possible in previous titles. The massive, well-designed maps offer plenty of room for experimentation and emergent stories, and the modes are a blast. And that’s just All-Out Warfare. Between that, Hazard Zone, and the expansive Battlefield Portal, Battlefield 2042 has something for everyone, without feeling like it’s stretched too thin. It’s a true evolution of the series, one that pushes back against a stagnation that threatened the series’ future. It won’t be for everyone, but for players who crave imagination and fun from their Battlefields, it will give them everything that they crave and more.

It’s not without its issues, but Battlefield 2042 is off to a fantastic start for DICE’s beloved series. All-Out Warfare modes are immersive, Hazard Zone is enjoyable while Battlefield Portal steals the show. There’s a lot to love here, and I’m excited to see where the game goes.

Battlefield 2042 feels like a game made specifically for Battlefield fans. Multiplayer is fast-paced and chaotic, and while new modes like Hazard Zone and Portal are a mixed bag, they provide an excellent foundation for the game to build on going forward.

Given the breadth of exciting content to play, including Portal’s six classic maps like Battlefield 3’s Caspian Border and 1942’s Battle of the Bulge, this entry is an easy recommendation for fans of the series. If you’re on the fence about purchasing Battlefield 2042 at launch, you can look forward to my full review in the coming days.

Battlefield 2042 is the most fun I've had with a Battlefield game since Bad Company 2. Its massive scale, gorgeous maps, and unrelenting focus on team-play positions 2042 as a Battlefield experience that can grow and evolve long into the future. We want to spend more time with the Specialists, weapons, Hazard Zone, and live servers populated by players across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X before scoring the game.

It’s safe to say, Battlefield is shaping up to be a fascinating title. For those that want to get lost in its systems it’s bursting with potential, although it remains to be seen how more casual players will take to it. It would be very surprising, though, if this didn’t quickly end up as one of the most popular entries in the entire series.

The list of graphics options is substantial, too. If you want to make granular changes to hit your minimum acceptable framerate, you can tweak things like 'undergrowth quality' and turn off individual post-processing effects. There are a few DLSS options to choose from. I had mostly good performance at 1440p with an RTX 2070 Super, the 'High' graphics preset, and DLSS on 'Balanced.' There were a few framerate plummets, but they were clearly anomalies, not because my GPU was overworked—hopefully that sort of thing will be fixed.

There’s still nothing quite like being in the middle of a massive firefight with dozens of players, while jets strafe the ground around you, and a tank rumbles over a hilltop only 50 feet away. DICE has been in search of that old Battlefield magic for more than a decade, and Battlefield 2042 comes extremely close. But 2042, at least so far, rarely manages to be much more than that. It doesn’t feel like a real step forward for the franchise, or a meaningful update on a 20-year old formula. As of now, I’m still waiting for that next big leap.
