Although I'm having fun and the game is definitely much better now than at start, I cannot recommend this. Not because it's a 0/10, but because it's a 4.9/10. Not good enough to be even average.
First things first, the launch has already passed. We are no longer there, and the team has seemingly been working very hard to get this game to a better state. It wasn't, however, just bugs needing fixing. The game lacks content. It barely passes any bar for a fully launched title, to be truly fair.
Having pre-ordered the Gold Edition I really felt like I paid extra to be part of a QA team where ideas are thrown at me and I'm meant to see if they're any good. They tried to get a tech demo or concept build to pass as a fully released AAA flagship title. I can't imagine the levels of failure and incompetence needed to achieve this, to take such a huge franchise and so completely destroy it with such a poor release.
The grossest smoking gun, for me, is the general design and direction of the game on which they're now have to do a complete 180 because it failed so unimaginably hard. They stripped away vital HUD elements, made maps feel like pristine sets and stages, added wacky and funny personalities to the specialists who joke around and do the "Dreamworks face" at the camera, and gave them all special abilities like Overwatch. On top of all of that are empty maps that are few in number and even smaller in inspiration, as well as a couple of guns for each category of weapon. Actually mind-blowing.
When it comes to glitches, there are the usual suspects. Bullets not hitting when they should, visual artifacts and bugs, poor performance, etc. It is true, however, that these issues are much better now than they used to be.
Finally, I gotta say I'm having fun with the game. Been grinding the battlepass and all the guns for the last 50 hours and it's just for the dumb fun of it. I can't imagine I'll feel much motivation once I've unlocekd all the guns, which won't take much longer, only got a couple to go. I have to, however, have something to show for the money I spent on it.
Hopefully the gaming industry doesn't turn into the QA industry where every new full priced title is a new incomplete dev build founded on completely idiotic ideas and visions put together with no care in the world that end up being abandoned for the newest thing next year.
EDIT: I have, since writing this, uninstalled BF2042. I've unlocked nearly all guns, mastered all of them at least to tier 1, and I simply do not find it in me to play through Season 2. I might return for Season 3 to see waht they do with it.
