I mean the only things broken/missing are:
 

• No dedicated servers (there's Portal...but that seems to be just full of XP-boost attempted bot servers and "ZOMBIE MODE" where you get a grenade and a knife along with 100 of your bot friends to fight against the 4-8 humans who got in there first and have tanks, choppers, planes, guns, etc.)
• No classes (except portal, but the ones I've seen so far, every class has one gun option, maybe two and they don't tell you what the guns are, you just have to try them all to find out...some are obvious, it's just kind of ridiculous and half-baked).
• Movement and animations have been completely stripped out and replaced with some kind of Apex super human hero stuff
• new maps are huge and filled with nothing. Cover and details are extremely sparse. There's no flow. No flanking (unless you can flying-squirrel around an open hillside and don't get spotted). New maps have almost no destruction, mostly because there's very little to destroy.
• spotty at best hit-reg
• RNG bullet patterns (because everything is a Star wars blaster now...)
• Bullet speed from sniper rifles seems like you could run faster.
• There are the cringyest voice lines from the heroes you've ever heard in a game and you'll hear the same lines all match and every end of the match...again...and again...and again...until I'm assuming they start selling other terrible lines or charge us to have them just shut up.
• DLSS + RTAO are broken (and where is the other RT?)
• Can't join friends on the server they're on
• can't create/join/edit squad
• no all-player-chat
• no voice chat
• performance is woeful (I get fps drops all over the place, and also never see my cpu go over 50-60% utilized while GPU never goes over ~73%, usually sits lower. My 3080ti averaged 280W during 5 hours of gameplay.......max is like 430W...what even...all settings maxed, 1440p...no idea).
• UI can't tell what's on and off and my menu doesn't even have customization of specialists and guns. The whole menu is gone. I've been suggested to uninstall and reinstall the game to fix it.
• 2D Figure-skating silhouettes for anyone over ~150m away. Being the chopper gunner looks like you're playing wiki-woo except they don't even move the legs back and forth. Just permanent figure-skating pose.

 
Oh, and there are also bugs, but it's a BF launch so I try not to complain about the bugs as those always happen and almost always get patched. Some of those (like flying hovercrafts) are hilarious.
 
I could go on, but this is a pretty good list.

I’m going to assume since this is all under early release conditions, that a lot of the issues listed will be fixed upon the day 1 public launch. Obviously not all of them will be, but we still have 4 more days, and early releases are not indicative of launch release performance… unless you’re playing ARK, in which it will never truly run great.

Nvidia said they will have a new 'Game Ready' driver on or before the 19th  & there is supposed to also be a huge 'DAY 1' patch from DICE  at that time as well..... so I'll keep the fingers crossed.
🤞

Well, dang. I had high hopes for BF2042 because it looked the good old days of BF1942 to BFBC where it was just straight up fun. Good thing I didn't preorder.

Probably some of them.  There is some low hanging fruit like commenting out the code for those awful ending sequences & character voicing.  Sadly, the underlying problem is that the gameplay no longer resembles the battlefield franchise.
 
Not to mention, COD warzone is "free", fortnite is "free."  Where is the $100 in this?  Glad I got the trial via EA Play / xbox app, definitely will not be buying premium/ultimate/whatever at even $60 much less $100

They could change direction due to the terrible feedback, but I have a bad feeling that the voice lines and crappy takedown animation are two places where they were planning on selling us alternatives...for more money than we already paid. I can't help but wonder if that's the sort of idea or input that their new boss (former head of FIFA who has no experience with the FPS genre) is making. I don't believe for a second that Karl Magnus Troedsson would have green-lit that idea. I was quite sad to hear that him, Johan Andersson (main guy who developed Frostbite), and many other key people have left.

I didn't know that the key DICE employees from the BF golden days had left.  That explains a lot.

Oh yes. It is most of the people who were really important to decision making. I'd like to believe that really talented folks took their place, but you can't expect them to make the same decisions and have the same ideas as the people before them.
 
... I don't know if that says enough right there, but I feel like that's when the truly questionable decision-making from a game-direction perspective started.
 
Anyway, I just wanted to back up my statement. I hate it when people go "oh tons" and then don't give any examples lol.
