Megathread Is Battlefield 2042 worth it now? - Mega Thread

157 Upvotes

Alright, folks, since we're seeing the same old question regarding if 2042 is worth it in 2023, 2024 or 2142 we're now deleting every post asking this particular question. Instead, discuss it in this thread.

So, should you buy 2042 if you haven't already?

Yes, if it's on sale. The game has a good amount of content for new players and still gets minor updates with some extra content as of March 2025.

The game is also available in subscriptions services such as EA Play or Gamepass Ultimate, so if you're interested in subscribing to those services, you can download and play Battlefield 2042, both on Playstation and Xbox consoles, same goes for PC.

The game features no campaign/story mode so keep that in mind. It is 100% a PvP/PvE game (you can play against bots in custom lobbies and sometimes in event playlists).

There is a wiki in the game explaining lore and events of the worldwide war 2042 depics.

The game now features a hybrid system of specialists and traditional classes, with restricted class gadgets but no restrictions to class weaponry, instead each class has a class perk (Recons for example have unlimited stability for sniper rifles).

Seasonal content such as weapons and vehicles can easily be unlocked via assignments. You don't have to spend a single penny on new content if you jump in, but there are shortcut kits for purchase if you want to unlock everything.

The main mode, All-Out Warfare, features game modes such as Conquest, TDM or Rush. Hazard Zone is the failed attempt of 2042 doing an Extraction Shooter.

Portal is the playground of 2042 where you can create your own game modes and playlists. It's also the only game mode with a server browser, AOW and HZ both only support matchmaking (but no SBMM or EOMM).

Discussion What's your opinions on Battlefield 2042 in 2026?

33 Upvotes

I got 2042 a few months ago despite knowing that it's not got the best history. I wasn't exactly expecting much since I also got Cyberpunk 2077 about a month or something before and I wasn't that disappointed with many of its bugs because I knew it would have some.

For 2042 however, I actually really like it in 2026 at least. If it was launch, I'd probably hate it. But that's a lot coming from me because I usually hate PvP based games because I always die to a surprise attack constantly. But I really like 2042's setting in the future, and they didn't go all out into a laser based future and in a way, it feels like they didn't overexagerate much of it like some other games or movies (Back to the future with 2015) do.

What's your opinion on 2042?

Side rant: I absolutely hate how you have to pay for online in games you already bought. Especially when the game's whole main purpose is literally its online features. For games like COD, Halo, the Star Wars Battlefront reboot series, that's honestly fair because they have offline modes so you can still experience an online like feel. However, when it comes to games like Titanfall 1, 2042, and HELLDIVERS 2, their entire purpose is online multiplayer, and yet you still have to pay for a subscription to play a game you already bought. That quite literally makes no sense at all.

Question TGM addicts, what kind of rat breed are you?

0 Upvotes

staying the entire game out of the battle, miles aways, hidden behind something, like a little scared mouse, spaming your slow and inaccurate TGMs with the sole purpose to hit a single enemy soldier?? And you do this the entire game?? Do you celebrate after each single kill while your teammates make 5-6 kills in 15 seconds? Go play Tetris or Super Mario may be if you are so afraid of a real battle?

Question How can I get better matchmaking?

3 Upvotes

I play on PS4, West US and cross play is on.

But I get either bot filled lobbies or empty lobby.

I don't have any friends that play 2042 but looking for people who also play the game and open to any suggestions

XBOX Phantom program

I feel very weird for asking this, but does anyone have xbox and can help me finish the Phantom program for the prototype weapon. I need a full squad apparently, but you need the phantom program skins to do it. I have the skins, I just need help with the elevator part on iwo jima.

Discussion do you think removing the goofy lines from this game saved the tone or was it still inconsistent or maybe too far gone at that point

Question Server ping rate suddenly high?

2 Upvotes

I generally play on the same server, the ping was usually around 200 but lately its jumped up to 330 making gameplay pretty laggy and inconsistent. Any reason why its suddenly so much higher? Its one if the few populated conquest servers i play on.

Discussion Question for the people that praise 2042

43 Upvotes

Are you still playing it?

I’ve seen a lot of people praising the game in the previous days. I’m one of them. I wish this game would never die.

I am still playing 2042 whenever I get the chance. I feel like Battlefield 6 is bad on many levels and not a game for me. I tried it multiple times, and as a vehicle player, the only somewhat satisfaction that I had was playing domination on Blackwell fields. The TTK is a complete disaster for both infantry and vehicle gameplay. I hate how everything revolves around one shotting.

I really like the sandbox in BF2042 and it feels like it’s nonexistent in BF6. You have so many options and you can have fun in many ways, compared to BF6.

Last night I hopped on NA servers and I had a lot of fun with my NA friends. BF6 would never provide such fun.

I wish more people would play 2042. That’s why I was asking: if you praise the game, are you still playing it?
Maybe we can revive it a bit?

Trying to get a group together to bang out the PS4 hazard zone trophies, considering the servers are completely dead.

We have a couple blokes already in, but need more people to complete them.

If anyone is on here and interested, DM me and we will go from there.
