The Battlefield series went toe-to-toe with Call of Duty during the seventh console generation, but it's no secret that the franchise has been struggling ever since. The series' latest installment, Battlefield 2042, wasn't exactly the smash hit that fans were hoping for. The game was released in a shoddy technical state, had a limited amount of content, and made several changes to the Battlefield formula that greatly upset fans. Because of this, Battlefield 2042 was bombarded with overwhelmingly negative user reviews on sites like Steam and Metacritic, and it became the lowest-rated Battlefield game of all time.
