The map was vibrant, and the weather effects were one of the few really great things about the whole beta, so they get respect for the visuals. Our only real wish list for BF2042 is that they allow just one or two more vehicles having only two tanks for a team of 64 players really isn't much. Seriously, getting spawn pinned by bomber planes is one of the dullest shooter experiences you can have. They've also made them comparatively weaker than usual, which will come as shock-horror for the ace fighter pilots and a blessed relief to everyone else. Yep, the vehicles are very well done and there's a good range.

Battlefield 2042's Open Beta - System Requirements For PC.There's no detail to any of them, just wide bare hallways and corridors.įrom a mechanical perspective, they're also very poorly designed, with no real flow or areas of heavy traffic, they're just formless. It's completely devoid of character - you're basically fighting in three parking lots, and while each of these structures is immense, they're about a mile wide and an inch deep.

These Are The Battlefield 2042 Maps Coming At Launch

Parachuting has also been poorly done, they've gone for realism, perhaps, but the experience for the end-user is that of a non-responsive system. The movement feels clunky and slow, and yet at the same time floaty there's no weight behind anything, which makes traversing the landscape boring rather than satisfying.

The Frostbite engine isn't ground-up optimized for shooter games, and it shows. The gunplay is fine, it's not hugely satisfying, but it's not a red flag for the game's future.īattlefield is at a big disadvantage compared to its rivals here. The weapon balance is a little off, there's very little reason to use anything besides an AR, but a ton of shooters are guilty of this, so we can't be too harsh on BF2042 for doing the same. The gun animations and the weight of each shot are a bit lacking, and bullet velocity is ridiculously slow (which is typical of a Battlefield game), but these complaints aren't game-breaking. The TTK will be too fast for Battlefield fans, but to the general audience, it should be well received. With that throat-clearing done, let's get into the nitty-gritty of the Battlefield 2042 beta.īattlefield 2042 Beta - Final Review Gunplay 6/10
