Description
Battlefield 2042 for PC is a first person shooter video game with a strong multiplayer focus. The game, the twelfth in the series (and which also boasts over forty expansion packs throughout the franchise), is set in the fairly near future (as evidenced by the name) which means there are plenty of high-tech and futuristic weapons and gadgets – such as deployable drones, turrets, and robot dogs.
As touched on above, the world’s climate has slipped into extremes, causing a large number of people to flee their now untenable homes. These climate refugees are calls No-Pats meaning they are stateless and have ‘no country’. The climate crisis has dramatically worsened, causing the collapse of the EU and heightening tensions between the USA and Russia to the point of war.
Events on Earth come to a head when a Kessler Syndrome* event occurs in 2040, knocking out seventy percent of international communications satellites. Already tense, the USA and Russia are poised on the brink of war.
A Kessler Syndrome event will occur, according to science, when a chain reaction of collisions within the thick space junk belt whizzing around the planet (debris from space missions, lost or jettisoned for whatever reason) affect those things in orbit that we rely on for day to day work and play: the carefully positioned satellites that operate phone systems, internet connections as well as television and radio comms.
War finally breaks out in 2042, just in time for you to come along to save the day. Or play your part in the day-saving, anyway.
The Plus system is new, and improved: players can now upgrade their weapons on the fly, and while the class system is broadly the same but with a massive and much-needed overhaul. Classes are now called ‘specialisms’ and you can explore any skill tree, instead of being limited to your class as before. The names remain the same, Assault, Engineer, Medic, Recon etc, so if you have a favourite, you can quickly find what you’re looking for.
Extreme weather effects have made the jump from the previous game in the series, and given that there’s a climate emergency, you will not be surprised to learn that tornadoes can suck you up and give you a hard time before spitting you out again – hopefully! – while sand storms reduce your visibility quite massively. And that can be a problem in the middle of a battlefield…
Instead of single player mode, but there are three main gameplay modes: All-out Warfare – which comprises of: Breakthrough (in which you try to take out the other team’s control points) and Conquest (in which two teams battle for a single control point). Hazard Zone is the multiplayer co-op zone and the place to be! There is support for up to 128 players in two teams of 64.
Finally, in the ‘what’s new’ column, there are autonomous vehicles that players can commandeer as and when they need them. If there are no handy cars around, players can even request a vehicle to be airdropped to them – why not think out of the box and get a tank dropped onto an enemy sniper, and make life a tiny bit easier for yourself?
The game pretty comprehensively covers the globe, with 7 maps available from the off:
Orbital – to the top of South America, set in Guiana’s Space Centre near Kourou
Hourglass – found in the near east: Doha, Qatar on the coast of Persian Gulf
Kaleidoscope – North of Japan is where you find Songdo International Business District in South Korea
Manifest – sort of midway between India and Australia can be found the island of Pulau Brani off the south coast of Singapore
Discarded – Alang, high on the west coast of India, whose beaches are home to an immense real-life ships’ graveyard of derelict vessels
Breakaway – So far north that every other direct is south places you on Queen Maud Land in the Arctic Circle, a territory of Norway
Revival – Possibly visited by pharaohs back in the day, the Eastern Desert, the easternmost part of the Sahara, where it borders on the Nile is a good place to explore
Battlefield 2042 for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

Battlefield 2042 brings the sandbox back to the series in bold and controversial ways. The new Specialist system might seem like sacrilege at first, but it opens up gameplay opportunities that weren’t possible in previous titles
- Multi is fun
- Nice maps
- Improved aiming system
- Still lots of bugs
- Few weapons
- Without a single player campaign

Good game its not like old battlefields but is still fun i prefer and only play with friends. It has more of a Call of duty vibe and im happy that the devs despite of the ruff release still are trying to fix the game an overall 7.5/10,
- Masive Multiplayer
- Fun with friends
- No Campaign
- Gun Level up system a bit slow
- Weapon Variety

Battlefield 2042 launched with high expectations but faced a rocky start. The game introduced massive 128-player battles, dynamic weather effects, and a class-less Specialist system, but technical issues, lack of key features, and design changes alienated longtime fans. At launch, bugs, server problems, and missing content (such as a scoreboard and voice chat) frustrated players. Over time, DICE has improved stability, added maps, and reworked Specialists, making the game more enjoyable. However, it still struggles with identity issues, and some fans feel it lacks the depth of previous Battlefield titles.
- Large-scale battles with 128 players
- Impressive weather effects and destruction
- Post-launch improvements and updates
- Rough launch with missing features and bugs
- Specialist system not well-received by fans
- Maps felt empty and lacked good cover at launch

So I have been waiting for this game to fix I heard about the launch but, I was hoping they would fix the problems and they did. I got the game cause a friend was playing and wanted a multiplayer shooter and boy does this game scratch that itch I played BF3 the most of all the battlefields and I love this game so much!
- Tons of fun
- Feels good to shoot
- Unlocking things feels good
- The more expensive verson is only to unlock things instantly so there is no point
- No campaign

Battlefield 2042, like any game, has its share of downsides. One major drawback is the lack of a single-player campaign mode, which may disappoint players who enjoy immersive storytelling and character development. Another con is the potential for unbalanced gameplay, as some players may have access to more powerful weapons or equipment than others, leading to frustrations and unfair advantages. Additionally, some players may find the gameplay mechanics too complicated or difficult to master, leading to a steep learning curve for new players. Finally, the game's reliance on online multiplayer may make it difficult for players with unreliable internet connections to enjoy the game fully, potentially resulting in lag, disconnections, or other technical issues.
- Lack of Single-Player Campaign
- Potential for Unbalanced Gameplay
- Dependence on Multiplayer

Unfortunately i listened to those useless youtubers who claim the game is fun now. No its not. Big empty lifeless maps, constant spawn dying, bombarded when in vehicles coz everyone is a rambo and has homing rockets, getting hit from everywhere coz (once again) maps are garbage, not hearing footsteps ever and overall not being able to do anything coz we ain't all hardcore tryhards. Listen to the reviews not to those on youtube.

Just wanted to drop the ol GGs to IG. not being paid or nothing. i hope this comment finds a new buyer well. I've been using this website since i got a decent gaming rig back in 2019. I've saved 100s of $$s over the years buying awesome games. I've never had an issue on any of my purchases. never had a key removed from any account I've associated these keys with. So all in all if its not a SP game that i can pirate for Free.50 than i find myself here grabbing games on massive 60-90% off deals. again hope this finds the new user well. i also your your exp here is as good as my own. Idk shite about bf2042 I've played the others big fan of the series I've hear a lot of good n bad about this one. i have a cousin who actively plays that's been telling me about a lot of updates they have done. its PSN free game of the month so the lobbies should be nice n full

This "Battlefield" part started out weak, and to be honest I don't think it's going to be anything yet, but the developers have put a lot of effort into making such a large game in such a short time. It's best to watch at least 5 gameplays to form your own opinion and whether you want to buy the game.
But I would rather advise you not to buy the game.
4/10

- Futuristic Enivorment
- Low Player Count
- Too big maps with almost no close combat
- getting recked by vehicles all the time
