The worst battlefield game by far. Steer clear away from this one.

This is the first Battlefield that really sucks ass. A lot of chnages feel forced on and are/were unwanted.

1. Operator system that no one expected. People want to play as nameless grunts, not COD-like "heroes" with exclusive skillsets.

2. The story is boring and quite shallow. The only point of "expats" is to get the Operator System to work (You wouldn't be able to play as Russian Op on the US team otherwise.) Characters from BF4 (Pac, Irish) were killed off in a cutscene, not actual playable mission. Lack of singleplayer mode expands the feeling of story-less gameplay.

3. Attachment system. It's really boring that you can basically remodel your weapon during fighting. It kills the point of abiding by your weapon setup (As in: "I put a x4 scope on my weapon, so now I have to play slightly further back. When I die I can change it back to x1 HOLO").

4. Abandonement of Battlelog and Phantom missions. I relied heavily on Battlelog to 100% my assignments and complete Phantom missions. Neither Battlelog nor Phantom missions found their way here.

5. The game looks bad. It's 10 years since BF4 came out, couple less since release of BF1 and BFV and they all have exquisite graphics. BF4 has modern combat looks, BF1 shows grim realities of WW1 and BFV presents well toned graphics placed in between cinematic looks of BF4 and realistic, grim looks of BF1. BF2042 looks like BF Hardline with a tiny but of BF4's contrast sprinkled in.

6. In-game microtransactions. This game has the most annoying in-game microtransactions out of all Battlefields. In BF4 it was a tiny page hidden deep within menus, in BF1 and BFV a bit more seen but still within taste limits. Here, the player sees a whole supermarket when looking at customization menu.

If you want to buy the game, wait for a sale, not worth buying at full price.
