Battlefield 2042launched recently after an open beta that left people with doubts. Sadly, despite many players enjoying their time and putting togetherlists of the best weapons inBattlefield 2042, others are listing complaints instead.
To say thatBattlefield 2042has had a rocky launch would be an understatement, as many players have found it to be a disappointment on many fronts. This includes new players for sure, but the complaints are even more bitter from the long-time fans of the series. One of those fans decided to air their grievances through a well organized list of problems they have with the game.

The list is specifically talking about features that existed in previousBattlefieldtitles that are missing fromBattlefield 2042or are specifically worse in the new title. It’s a huge and exahaustive list, separated into sections including Core Features, Infantry Gameplay, Vehicles, Scoring, etc. There’s too much to fully list here, but a few highlights deserve special mention. One, located under Squad and Teamwork is the lack of a “medic incoming” message present in previous games, though this is apparently coming in a future patch. Animproved medic UI suggested by another playermight help medics reach their targets faster, but the message would let players know they can stay rather than quickly move onto their next stock.
One major complaint is under the Audio section, talking about the poor quality of sound inBattlefield 2042. To be clear, this is separate from thecomplaints about the soldiers' voice lines, which players mainly object to due to their lighthearted tone. Rather, the complaint focuses on the overall poor audio quality, which includes a nearly non-existent 3D soundscape. In a game where death can come from just about anywhere, not being able to hear what’s around a character is often fatal.
Scoring also has many tickmarks of shame, mostly centered around how many scoring criteria were removed. No squad wide scoring, player or vehicle damage points, headshot/long-range kill bonuses, or comeback bonuses are present, just to name a few missing from older titles. The scoreboard itself is also a complaint, prompting one player toredesignBattlefield 2042’s scoreboard completely.
Also mentioned are the specialists, a common complaint amongstBattlefield 2042players who feel they do far less for the game than the now-removed classes, to the point where some playersthinkBattlefield 2042was supposed to be a battle royale. Other highlights from the list include:
Battlefield 2042releases on November 19 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
