It will be interesting to see how the game is received on Steam. There is a full-blown revolt going on that isn’t confined to just one big issue or another, but to the total sum product that DICE and EA have released. Scour the Battlefield 2042 subreddit and you’ll find almost exclusively criticism and complaints over the game’s bugs, missing features and dumbed down mechanics.

End of round voicelines are just awful.End of round music is dull and uninteresting (compared to BF1 and V this is a big downgrade).Less impactful soundtrack (menu music is very dull and repetitive).General consensus seems to be the audio design is bad, especially compared to both BF3 and BF1.No in game crossplay toggle option (you have to change your global console settings).Hopefully this will come with the D1 patch) Poor console aim assist (big fat f*ck you to console players there, dice.Very poor friend joining system (Lack of server browser makes playing with more than 4 friends completely impossible).Less ultrawide monitor support (hud ratio is locked in at 16:9).Less detail in the 'who killed you' screen.No gunsight reticle customization options.No fortification building (given how open all the maps are, this could have been super useful).
No persistent lobbies (seriously why do I have to matchmake after EVERY round?).Fewer base game maps than any other title (even including portal the map count is only 13).Fewer standardized game modes (Can't even play TDM or smaller scale modes without relying on community servers.The list, as they say, goes on and on and on.
