4.5

Twinfinite

Traditional Battlefield 2042 combat is there and as fun as ever.
Audio and visuals are as impressive as ever on current-gen consoles and PC.
Hazard Mode is a valuable addition to mix things up without resorting to lazy Battle Royale.
Portal is a fantastic tool for old-school fans.

Technical glitches and bugs, while not gamebreaking, are still present in some numbers as of early access.
Hazard mode may end up needing some balancing.
Occasional wonky respawning could lead to spawn kills or getting placed in no man’s land.

Each mode feels engaging and unique. Specialists offer plenty of flexibility. Largescale battles create a great sense of chaos.

Hazard Zone likely wont be as fun solo. Some weapons are unreliable.
