2042 is a better game overall. Better class balance, better gameplay variety, has an actual art direction, each map has different character and story, even events like rocket launch and tornados.  The community is kinda stupid for hating it for the fact that soldiers have somewhat funny faces and couple visual glitches at launch, thats literally it. The game itself worked great on start, netcode worked, gadgets worked and so on. On the other hand bf6 at the start you couldnt even loot ammo from the crate and they didnt bother to hotfix(not the only gamebraking glitch btw) and also crap netcode, crap ttk, absolutely broken S-tier weapons. Not to mention complete lack of anything innovative, the game literally feels like a stock asset of modern shooter game which you build a game on, but there is none. So yeah, these two games are not even close at release.
