Battlefield 2042 Beta First Impressions: Unrestrained Mayhem

Battlefield 2042's minor alterations combined with the big ticket items create a sense of chaos that's been missing since Battlefield 4.

Tried the beta on both PS5 and Series X and I can say the PS5 version needs some optimization. The framerate drops most of the time and I got flashing white screens a few times. I do like that you can feel your footsteps in the DualSense. The Series X version run very well. Not surprising considering Xbox is promoting the game.

ssmilloy361358d ago

coz xbox never has anything else to promote

porkChop1358d ago

That was a stupid comment to make. PS promotes tons of 3rd party games, all 3 manufacturers do. It's business.

Bennibop1358d ago

The Xbox version does not run well either (even the pc version has issues,)it also has drops and other technical problems. But to be fair this is beta so it's not surprising.

REDGUM1358d ago

When the screen stutters, goes backwards then forwards again, puts you through walls and constantly doing this, as was my experience with the game (I won't say which platform I'm using as it's irrelevant, but is this the game itself or my internet (which seemed fine on every other device innthe house at the time.
I'm curious.

I like the game itself but is nearly unplayable & certainly unenjoyable for me. Again, just wanting to know the cause of this.

LordoftheCritics1358d ago

Yea its kinda close to BF3 beta. Very fixable state. And BF3 turned out legendary.

This is a huge server load along with old build and no updated gpu drivers for it.

Things will definitely improve. Its not in that bad beta state.

porkChop1358d ago

Performance seemed fine on my SX but holy shit the game is a mess. I get that they said there were known issues, but why the hell would they even release an open beta in this state? I see why they had to delay the game. That this was the best build they had for people to play speaks volumes. If the game was in this state just 2 months ago I can't imagine it'll be very polished on launch day.

InUrFoxHole1358d ago

They did the same with bf3 and the launch was about a month after the beta. It's the only game that I've seen have a huge turn around. This time I'm worried. So many bugs

kingeliran1358d ago

played to death every single BF that ever came out, after playing bf2024 beta i can honestly say that its the worst bf i ever played even for a beta!, graphics are bad 128 players chaos is really a chaos but not in the fun way, the customizations sucks with mixed classes which feels like a mess, the game feels like washed out bf3 with bigger maps, is this really a step forward? i dont think they will can fix this game they need to rework everthing about it starting from the graphics...

stefd751358d ago

I have also played everyone since the 1st and I hated the last 2 but I had fun on the beta, yes there are a few issues here and here but for the 1st time in a while I really enjoyed BF again.

Teflon021358d ago

Yeah this was the first time I had this much fun with a BF since BF4

EvertonFC1358d ago

Agree its just rinse and repeat bf. Still nobody revives, still squads just disperse, still bugs etc.
Plus cross play has ruined gaming with PC players keyboard and mouse headshots etc.
I don't find spawning getting 1kill to every 5 deaths enjoyable.
Its great with friends in a squad but realistically when can you get all 4 friends together at the same time these days.
I'll pass and just play "hells let loose" for my war fix tbh

LordoftheCritics1358d ago (Edited 1358d ago )

Lol ps5 players were doing well. Auto aim should compensate the poor recoil in this game.

Teflon021358d ago

So basically you suck at the game and blaming the game for it? In BF4 which I played the most out of all, I was always a negative K/D Ratio but always top 3 on the team. If that's how you think, you're not going to enjoy it. Worry about your objective. Also if you want your team to work with you, talk to them. On PS while I play with friends mostly. I've had 1 garbage teammate. The rest do the same objectives. But we had one for hours that was amazing, they revived, stayed with the group and was good at surviving/holding the objective.

Npugz71358d ago

The game needs a lot of work! The controls feel like shit! And so many horrible animations and glitches also needs aim assist on consoles

Teflon021358d ago

I think the aim on console is perfect. I hope they don't make it have any more assist. I shoot perfectly fine

gammaray131358d ago

I tried the game on both the series x and ps5 and i can safely say that the game is crap, it feels last gen, battlefield 5 looks and plays way better than this, very very disappointed in this and the new cod

EazyC1358d ago

Sad time to be an FPS fan. Insurgency Sandstorm is brilliant though,my horror at the BF 2042 beta forced me to try it and I've been extremely impressed.

EazyC1358d ago

I thought it stunk-on-ice. So disappointed.

theHunter Call of the Wild is the best hunting game ever made. I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it can be really slow going. But the environments (they look phenomenal, especially for a 2017 game!), the satisfaction of finally landing a Gold or a Diamond keep you coming back for more. I have over 600 hours in it, my dad in his 70's has around 1,500 in it! The only game he plays, even bought a PS4 Pro for it back in 2019 lol We get on almost every week to catch up bc we live about 4,000 miles apart overseas. New Snowy Canadian map is coming out this next Tuesday. I highly recommend this one! 👍

**I'm really happy to see Eiyuden Chronicles on here. I was about to buy that one after replaying the Suikoden Remasters recently!

jznrpg17d ago

How’s the ballistics in the game? If it’s done well I may check it out.

OtterX16d ago

they've gotten better with some updates throughout the years, but I wouldn't say they are perfect. But they're good enough that it's still a lot of fun. If you hang around their discord a while, you'll see quite a number of avid real life hunters who are pleased enough.

andy8517d ago

Yeesh. Pretty awful tbh and the PS premium support is shocking

repsahj17d ago

They should combine the premium and extra subscriptions and use the extra pricing for it.

OtterX16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Yea, that was my biggest complaint. If it weren't for my Portal, I would have cancelled my Premium. But it looks like they've leaned in on the streaming aspect as a selling point of Premium now, instead of the Classics. :\ I do like the streaming on Portal!

Npugz717d ago

Ps plus extra has been garbage this year

KwietStorm_BLM17d ago

Firebreak has been surprisingly fun. Can't wait for the full game. And Deus Ex!

Profchaos17d ago

Will be giving dues ex a crack

Wow, another site writing entire articles based off a single reddit comment.

Steve_Gamer265d ago

Yeah it will be, the game just recently got a Update 1.59 Patch in September.

XiNatsuDragnel264d ago
