    Give me the same money, as well as corrupt critics, I will write a positive review. Although, there is nothing good about BFV.

I don't want to mention tons of bugs and broken net code. I want to focus on game mechanics and setting fail. First of all, AAA project about WW2 without any maps that reproduce any famous WW2 battles. Someone will say that we shouldn't forget about smaller battles and pay respect, but most likely lazy developers just wanted to finish this game faster, just look at 80% of maps. It's just an empty map with some rocks, houses and hangars. Second, wtf weapons? I have feeling that I shoot paintball gun with all this tracer rounds everywhere. Who thought that building fortifications is a great idea? In such fast paced game it's a nonsense. Build base for 3 minutes. loose it in seconds... Where is spoting system? Spotting system is what makes this game - battefield. User interface is a ux designers nightmare... Really. DICE please fire everyone who was hired after Battlefield 3. TBH I miss old Battlefield games with already spawned vehicles, spotting system and great wonderfull maps. I don't care about women in this game, or man with different color, I just want old good battlefield... Expand

    Battlefield V is a game that came out too soon. I am a veteran of the Battlefield series of games, I can say with confidence that this is a good game.

    3. Content. There was little content with Battlefield 1. For example: Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 had a lot of content in 6 months.
    My rating as a person who plays a series of 12-year Battlefield games 7/10.

    After 4 years on release, i played this game. Is it good as BF3/4/1? Of course not. But atleast its playable.

    Pacific maps are way better than base maps. I just realized all the harsh treatment this game got on release is right.

    I prefer BF1 over BF5 for this generation.

    No auto-balance and it is not block base-rape and no private server no anti-cheat. BFV has a lot of problem. BF1 had some special animation and event for example Zeppelin or train. They were changing atmosphere of the game or flamethrower etc. But BfV has not special thing. Aaand where are the **** ribbons? But graphics are so good and gameplay very well. Next bf must be modern war.

    Character customisation and models are well done
    Bullet physics, deviation and suppression all feel right
    Kills feel satisfying
    Good weapon selection this time around
    Vehicle models (well done) and tank and air combat is fun and requires some skill
    Squad revive and ammo attrition etc is a great addition
    Attempts to get some actual team gameplay back into the game
    No micro transactions and all DLC available to all ++
    Very smooth launch. Easy to get onto regional servers.
    Runs well on a GTX970.

    Cons:
    Rewriting actual historical events and people is not good.
    A full single player campaign would have been great
    Netcode issues, will hopefully be addressed as with all their titles after release.
    Enemy visibility, it's very hard to pick out players, and sometimes they are literally invisible.
    Bombers need to be toned down, add airfields so they need to resupply perhaps like the original games.

    Update: They have already started to patch things so fingers crossed they keep improving this title as it is a beautiful game and has stacks of potential.

    It's alright, if you liked BF1 you'll probably like this one. The mechanics are similar and the addition of buildable defenses is pretty neat. There's enough changed to warrant buying it on sale for $30 if you're a fan. It's definitely more cinematic feeling and very chaotic. It's very similar to the last title, really don't like that both teams get a lot of the same guns too. Feels lazy.It's alright, if you liked BF1 you'll probably like this one.

    It seems to have a lot of hackers too, every other game has one or two people racking up insane scores no legit person could possibly obtain. This issue seems far more prevalent than in BF1. I just got done playing a game with someone ranked 2, pretty much brand new, with 40-3 as their KDR. I don't care how much of a veteran you are in BF, I've bought almost every one of them since 1942, that's not possible as a new player.

    Overall I'd say it is worth getting on sale if you are a longtime fan, the whole "I hate women being in games thing" is stupid as well. It has the stench of an incel more than anything, if you want to complain about historical accuracy ask why all the allies are running around with MP40s and other German weapons

    Gun gameplay and game mechanics are great but the art direction and the so called "WW2" aesthetics and immersion is horrendous. A pandering to a certain crowd that doesn't even play these games-joke at times. ... and we all know what and why this is.

    It's another unfinished product released way too early. There is a lot missing (coming soon) and there are a lot of bugs. As usually DICE is saying "we are working on it" but who knows how long it will take. I would stay away at least for a few months and check back later to see in what shape the game is. Don't buy into the "early access" thing because that's what BF5 currently is.

    Final Verdict: 7.4 (Rounded down to a 7)

    To start off, I was one of the people who didn't like DICE's depiction of WW2 and was against the game from the start. The closed alpha was quite good, but the beta was an outright disaster. That said, I can confidently say that this year's installment has the best gameplay since BF3. If you want a game with an in-depth progressions system that you can sink hours into with its constant genre-defining epic moments for hours on end, this is the game for you. Cosmetics are surprisingly good. All characters you can choose are faction specific, meaning no black woman nazis, restricting the player to choose from a variety of men and women from a select character pool. For those concerned about historical accuracy, it is barely noticeable aside from the uncomfortable and loud women screaming on the battlefield. The content is quite light at launch. While there is a lot of variety in the content itself, the quantity is lacking. Features such as dragging downed friendlies, vehicle customization, and the Last Tiger war story are lacking from the game. The game is also very buggy. I'd say there aren't many 'game breaking' bugs (although I've encountered an infinite revive state glitch where I couldn't respawn), as most of the bugs are ignorable at best. The story is alright. 2 of the 3 war stories are quite decent, and one is just downright garbage. The AI is piss poor, and there is no variety in gameplay other than the typical one man army style gameplay. Performance isn't up to standard right now, as hectic moments can get quite laggy especially if you don't have a good CPU. So, should you buy the game? Not yet. Either wait till it's on sale or until more content comes out. I also recommend you try out the game by buying one month of EA Access. I've had a blast with the game so far, and I look forward to Tides of War.

    Yeah not to bad I guess. Its just a video game that's just trying to be just that ,and not as much of a accurate representation of WW2. It looks good and runs ok if you keep DRX off.

    - UX is something DICE never heard of. Menus are not intuitive and take long to navigate. Configuring every class for both sides is a choir - battlelog was a lot better than this.
    - Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs - I've had one team on server suddenly not be able to revive, flying tanks, objects hovering in the air, unkillable enemies, flickering textures
    - Maps are bad. And I mean really bad - they are beautiful but hardly playable - a lot of clutter with a lot of open spaces. Again: VISIBILITY is sacrificed for a fancy visuals. It's bad for multiplayer game. Look at: CS GO, Overwatch, Fortnite - those games have extremely good visibility and that makes them so good. In BF: V for most of the time you are wondering if it's some fancy map decoration or proned camper from other team.
    - "How did I die this time?" - Is a question you will be asking yourself a lot. Game gives no information what is going on, who made damage to you, where was he when it happened. Compared to COD killcam it's a joke (because it's nonexistent) and done probably to hide bad netcode (later on that) and growing problems with hackers (whoever plays bf1 knows what i'm talking about). You will die many times mostly not knowing how - just get used to it.
    - Informational chaos - game hides important information from you (hidden kill-feed, no info on how you got killed) but feeds a lot of totally not necessary information (something about your squad leader being changed, something about progression in achievement, something about community event will find its way to your display)
    - Lack of content - Maps that are here are not only bad but also scarce. I guess EA clearly goes for a long term Origin Premium model and wants to spoon-feed content so people stay interested and pay for subscription for as long as possible. There are not that many guns in game and there is no deep customization for them anymore.
    - Inconsistent netcode - Again you die in a milisecond. Again you can try to hit enemy that is further than high refresh bubble and nothing will happen. Guess that just comes with inventory.

    I don't know what it is but this game just doesn't seem to be great for me i am a battlefield fan i understand that the game evolves and i think it may be a game that a lot of people love but for veteran battlefield players i don't think this is the game you are looking for.

First off, I love Battlefield games, and have been playing them since the early 2000s. I know that bugs will be fixed and one will adjust to the new mechanics of the game, but personally, I can’t stand the new feel and layout of the game. I tried playing the campaign and multiplayer, and both have left me so pissed off, I had to write this rant. Aside from graphics and all that good stuff that comes with Battlefield games, these are just a few of my early observations and complaints. I can’t see enemies for **** They are so dark and hidden in every circumstance that I have encountered so far. I’m getting killed every two seconds when I spawn. I usually do fairly well in Battlefield games, but my first hour of playing, I was getting destroyed by players half way across the map and then when I attempt to aim, I see a shadowy figure amongst blackness and my gun fires all over like I’m holding a piece of spaghetti. Sure, people will love the challenge of aiming and moving like a sloth through the battle, but I like the idea that this is also a source of action/entertainment, and I’m not enjoying it so far, as much as I really want to. Perhaps I’m just too old now, and need to hang up the towel with these hopes that Battlefield will provide more memorable moments of action and fun. I find this game just overly frustrating so far, both visually and in controls. The ammo and health thing is really annoying, as the second I spawn, I’m instantly dead....ready to wait another 15 seconds, spawn, and run for five minutes, and then be instantly killed my the shadow of an enemy...is it a friendly? Or and enemy? I can’t tell, guess I’ll shoot my spaghetti gun and hope I don’t run out of ammo after one use. I’m sure this game will improve as time goes on, but honestly, this game put me over the edge like no other has before. Something about it, just sucks! And I hate saying that because I really appreciate the other Battlefield games. If you enjoy this game, that’s awesome. Myself on the other hand, it’s not working out. Doesn’t feel right and just pisses me off left and right. I uninstalled it and went for writing a review to help relieve myself of the rage. Maybe others will get a kick out of it and laugh it off like we all should. It’s just a game anyhow, but still something that could be much better and not so riddled with customization confusion and “realism” that doesn’t seem real at all. If you want a refreshing experience of a video game, play Red Dead 2....it’s slow paced and everything, but it’s been a joy to play in my experience. I went from that to this turd burger battlefield V. I’ll keep playing, because I’m a sucker for these games...but I’ll likely dislike it for a long while. Save your money if you haven’t purchased it yet, and wait until it’s damn near free. Expand

( typical as some American like to cause problems that are not even there) however i can understand gamer stand on EA and the crap they've pulled in the pass and i won't defend them in anyway for there dodgy practice.
    Review
    So when you play the game shockingly to some here who most likely haven't touch the game, BF5 compare it to BF1 and BF4 has great improvement and positive about the game but also setback to the newest installment of Battlefield but one that can only get better.
    Firstly, the graphic are on point as normal. Dice knows how to made a world feel alive and even on the PS4 pro, it just stunning so no problems there .

    Next the gameplay which has been change from BF1 and is so much better. guns feel different from each other and getting kills feel a lot more awarding since the challenge of shooting is back. There is a quicker TTK which has its up and down moments but its forces player to think more and plan there attack with your squad which is more vital for doing well in this game. You can solo with some on the new gameplay applied but it now much harder to Rambo unlike BF1 and you end up dead if your not prepare. However i feel the balance at the moment between vehicle , planes and soldiers is better then BF1 (where planes always bombed you and never go down) and BF4 which (Jesus Christ!!!!! , the bloody helicopter are just BROKEN and nobody mention this anywhere in recent time and its seem like BF4 is the god of all Battlefield when there some glaring problems) (small rant).

    The weapon choices at first seem meh and underwhelming which i can understand when there a good number of iconic WW2 weapon missing and Faction ( pph, type 100, m1 Grand ) but i bet you will see them later with the tide of war going though the years of WW2. However what weapon we go a first seem like Dice haven't try since there a good handful of WW1 weapon transfers to BF5 (which might make this look lazy but they did have a role in WW2 so that why there here) but they have improve the performance of the weapon so they don't feel copy and paste from BF1 gameplay and they handle different enough to take more skill to master the weapons so the list is a lot better then BF1 even though the list is small but it will grow with FREE content which is a nice bonus in AAA gaming which mean you don't have to pay more money for MAP, GUN, NEW MODE etc. although there more or less will be micro transaction for cosmetic which is a pain to have but i prefer that over loot boxes and season Passes although this is EA so i'm waiting for the catch. never trust E.

    Music and sound effect are also on point but i feel the sound of footstep is a bit muted which can make it really hard to hear enemies nearby. that hopefully will be fix in future updates . It also use some of the music from previous Battlefield which is awesome. :D

    The few negative i have with this game is the content is bare bone at this time. you get a small single campaign of three stories and a interesting fourth coming soon and 8 launch maps at the beginning with a handful of modes to start with. It all good with what there, i enjoy it but the lack of content there is so easy to see and at the moment I can see why paying £50 is not worth it for some player however with what coming in top for FREE in the next 3 months, that will help this game grow and can becoming something amazing so if you want to wait till then, that understandable.

    The hate this game get make no sense. I'm a fan of Battlefield and can understand the backlash it got with the trailer but not for the women in the game, Just the none sense of the video and Micheal Bay stuff. The cosmetic is there so you can customize your solider which i think is a good idea for battlefield 5 (shame it not has deep has i though ) it seem the gaming community has turn rotten just for something like this. if you don't like women being in BF5, then that your choice but it doesn't ruin the experience so calm your troll hands. However EA have done them self's for it marketing campaign that DICE had to pick and try fixed and is the sole cancer for the Battlefield name so i will join and agree with the hate on them (since they ruin so many games already) .
    Overall
    Battlefield 5 is a good game and one for the hardcore fans at least even with the faults but I can't give it anymore then 7 for the sheer lack of content at this moment. I think the rating will improve as time goes on with free updates and more content and will be a 8 or a 9 if they fixed some problems, i hope this review will help understand where this game stand at this time

    Battlefield V, it's not a 10/10 game, not even an 8 or 9.

    For one, the announcer and the whole UI layout feels and looks like Star Wars: Battlefront which is hilarious. I personally LOVE how EA/DICE is making us pay $60 for a missing game mode they promised, Battle Royale (which we are getting 'next year' lol) and many features just missing. You can't customize your character

    I personally LOVE how EA/DICE is making us pay $60 for a missing game mode they promised, Battle Royale (which we are getting 'next year' lol) and many features just missing. You can't customize your character in-game/server, groups/platoons don't exist and so many more features just lacking. What is this? An Early Access game on Steam? Why are we missing core features that the Battlefield series always had? Then you have weapons, they just feel "squishy" against enemies. It takes a full magazine to kill someone or if you use a sniper and shoot them straight at the chest it doesn't kill someone. Sometimes even a headshot won't kill a player instantly. The health idea in this game is just stupid. Why are there health packs on players? Battlefield is team orientated. Nope, not this Battlefield. You have health packs like Call of Duty now just to replenish your health. No need for teammates to go Medic for health or even Support for ammo. Can I also mention that DICE censors 'curse words' in-game text chat? Rated 'M' game and we can't call our own horrible team bad words because it may hurt them. Finally, sadly another year without Battlelog. Why? I want detailed statistics, no one wants that crap website companion or app.

    Want to play this game? Play on 'Hardcore' servers created by the community. Official servers with DICE's own rule sets are trash.

    Battlefield 4 is better and more balanced, Battlefield V is catering to more "casual" players. EA/DICE want that Call of Duty fan base too much rather than on just expanding on what Battlefield is and what they created from the start. You aren't missing out much if you don't play or buy this. If you really want it, wait for a sale. It will probably be like $30 by next year like Battlefield 1.

    I bought every Battlefield game, played each one (ranging from Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC) and I have to say one thing. I personally would have liked to have Battlefield: Bad Company 3 this year or I would have rather taken Battlefield Hardline 2, instead we got Battlefield V. It could be such a fun game to play, but at the same time it's such a disappointing game.

    Battlefield 5 tries to be something that it is not and it seems to be taking a step away with every title which makes the game more comparable with Call Of Duty with the addition of squad killstreaks, they might call it something different in game, but this is essentially what it is! Then we also have pre-set perks, the whacky over the top customization of WW2 guns. Perhaps my review comes from someone who actually prefers the days when Battlefield tried to give good gameplay.

    With regards to gameplay it's good that they have got rid of the random bullet deviations so now bullets travel where you aim... Most of the time, I find it worrying that I have to say this is a good point about the game this type of feature should be expected!
    I can honestly say the gameplay isn't bad, albeit perhaps it has been slowed down a touch due to the super fast TTK, you will find people hiding in corners a lot more, but that's more an issue with the games poor map design which puts way too many peaky holes, too many massive open spaces so on certain maps you can be finding yourself having a hard time through no fault of your own other than the games poor map design.
    Carrying on with gameplay I do like the building system, I find it very nifty albeit for the most part it does seem a little superficial and more times than often you won't be using it. The removal of quick spotting is also good, its nice to actually to use your eyes to find people oppose to shooting little red markers.

    I think the biggest issue where the game struggles is the poor map design and scale and the direction the game took upon favouring campers, the radar for the most part is useless whilst I don't have a problem with people not appearing on the radar when firing a gun I do think that their should have been suppressors for that purpose of not showing up on the radar whilst shooting a gun. From those mix of problems we find the gameplay tends to be a guessing game because the audio of the game is poor and I'm really shocked about that usually BF are renowned for having great audio features.

    Carrying on with maps I don't get why some of them are the size they actually are it makes little sense unless they have sized them out like this with their Battleroyale mode in mind, but a good few maps definitely need to be scaled down and redesigned to avoid massive open fields nobody likes having to run for several minutes just to reach another point If your maps are this big surely you'd think to litter some transport vehicles around each capture point?

    That's all I really have for multiplayer its the only thing holding this game up to a 5 for me, single-player is uninspired unlike BF1 with weird stories of how some 14yo girl took on the German army and won, I've not nagged on about woman being in this game (because it doesn't bother me), but for god sake If you wanted to have a realistic female addition you could have focused on the Night Witches instead of opting for something that is as farfetched as believing Superman is real. EA/Dice really need to pull their head out their asses with this one I don't care much for political/SJW narratives I just was hoping/praying that Dice could have at the very least gave a good campaign, but the only one that delivered was the Somali's fight for the French it was the only one that made you think oh this is WW2 this is maybe something that could have happened...

    I will leave my review by saying the game with a good patches could easily be a very good game.

    The game is not as bad as everyone says it is, and it's not as dead either.
    There still are a lot of people playing it, I've spent around 58 hours in the game already... 12 on Campaing and the rest on Multiplayer. This is the only multiplayer game I can get hooked into it.. I've played all BF games but I can't deny that this is perhaps not the "WORST" but the Weakest BF in franchise..

This is the only multiplayer game I can get hooked into it.. I've played all BF games but I can't deny that this is perhaps not the "WORST" but the Weakest BF in franchise..

    This game was flooded by hate specially because of it's political agenda **** and the biggest mess up that idiot EA CEO did by calling their community too uneducated to play or accept the new changes. So that should sum up the 50% reason of why this game is selling so badly and bad merchandising I guess...

    But I can tell you there's no such thing of robotic arms or prosthetics, nor black female nazis in the game.. I guess Dice / EA rethought about their decision and removed all of these in the final release.
    Yes you can still play with female soldiers, but only if you really want to, since you can customize your character now, so multiplayer is pretty fine for me and I don't mind that much.

    As for those who are looking for a more authentical historical representation of WWII forget it... you'll see no such thing in here and that is some of my biggest complaints on the game.. I guess this way of showing not so well known stories of WWII was not a good idea at all... they had everything to make the best BF game with Frostbite engine but they managed to mess it up.

    PROS -

    * Graphically amazing as always been.
    * As much as multiplayer feels like a little to COD for me... it still nice when you have those amazing multiplayer moments, with everything blowing up, planes fighting in the sky and infantry fighting on land while trying to complete the objectives. It gives the Battlefield feeling.
    * The new Grand Operations and Front Lines mode are pretty neat and intense. Although some people may not like it, I felt rewarding specially if you are playing with a balanced team.
    * DICE sure knows how to create the best sound design in a game. It feels realistic in everything from gun shots to explosions and other environmental sounds.
    * Both Character and Weapon Customization Features are pretty good and goes beyond than just changing colors like it was in BF1.
    * Very well optimized.

    CONS -

    - Unfortunately this game feels incomplete... BF1 felt more complete than this game, there's a notable lack of content here, less maps, less vehicles, less weapons, no other factions like USSR, USA and JAPAN rather than Germany and English (British). Everything just feels like it's missing something and all of that cause of Tides of War.. a new way of Dice / EA to release new content for the game in a certain period of time. Although I don't trust that kind of business practice that much.. I hope they make the best out of it.

    - The TTK is a joke.

    - The maps are not as good as in previous Battlefield Titles, the map Rotation in Multiplayer servers are bad, they just keep repeating over and over and people are getting bored with it. Twisted Steel, Rotterdam and Yellow Fields are the best ones. (My opinion).

    - No historical accuracy, which is a shame really...

    - Campaing / Singleplayer is pretty forgettable and short as hell, The only 2 Campaings that matters are (TIRAILLEUR and LAST TIGER) and when those two starts to get interesting they just end...

    - Multiplayer Server Browser is just broken.. as it always was since BF1, why don't you bring BattleLog back Dice and EA, seriously.. that was the best thing.

    - Lots of bugs and other problems that I've never seen in any other Battlefield game.. (Bad rendering, glitched animations, glitched guns and so on..

    - Doesn't feel much like WWII sometimes...

    - Tides of War feels like a way of telling you - "Yeah.. we removed the premium pass but in exchange you'll get an incomplete game so we can release the rest of the content that is already completed in our new business practice system from time to time charging you no extra for it..."

    I think that's all of my pros and cons, and as much as it hurts to see Battlefield franchise going this way, liking this game or not is something very personal and it may vary from person to person.

    Overall I don't blame DICE too much for the game being like this but EA. I had loads of fun and incredible moments in multiplayer so for me at least I can only recommend picking this game if you are going for it's Multiplayer only... anything else than that just skip it.

    - New Squad system is only for friends who are playing together, if you are alone, it's a disaster. And BEING BASED ON THE BUGGY ORIGIN even make it worse.
    - TTK & TTD netcode issues were found in Open Beta, but it is not solved yet, which makes gunplay experience horrible with almost instant death in face-to-face gun duel, and the game becomes a truly latency warfare. Playing across regions even strengthen this problem, but the performance of playing in local region servers is just ok.
    - US West servers are **** since SWBF2 for Asian-hack-plague refugees, because they are located in Portland, OR. Hope EA will return to LA servers.
    - NO historical accuracy since there were no female regular troops (esp in Western front) or modern style aim-down sight gadgets in WW2, and THERE WAS NO TIGER I TANK IN NORWAY. Telling war stories about female guerrilla is acceptable.
    - Vehicles needs rework. Air Superiority is useless in game at once since bombers start to dog fight cuz they can't find targets except land vehicles, and bombers are way too much tough to be shoot down.
    - Lack of contents in launch, many old gun models come from BF1.
    - No rent server for now, and official servers are lack of anti-cheat support.

The only downsides to it I believe are that Dice had to use a lot of manpower to build an array of cosmetic items. So the release content feels a bit minimal. A lot of the guns are rehashed from BF1. You could argue that was the same with BF3 and BF4. But I was excited to see some iconic WWII weapons. I was also disappointed with some of the maps. A lot of them are small infantry focused maps. I much rather enjoy Battlefield's huge massive all out war battlefields and those are the maps I enjoy playing which are a few. I also wish there were some iconic WWII maps and battles. But they are going for some reason with "untold stories" which is not as exciting. So overall this game doesn't really have that WWII feel at the moment. Hopefully once all the maps and content are out it will. When you play as the British you don't feel like the British in WWII. You feel like some random group of rebels or "Resistance" fighters... The only time I actually feel like it's wwII is when I'm on the German team.
    The singleplayer. Don't even bother touching it. It's a waste of your time. I really wish they never even tried to make a singleplayer for this. It's such a lackluster boring mess. They did only have 2 years to make a singleplayer experience and that is definitely not long enough. I would have rather they focused on multiplayer like the original BF1942 game and maybe just make a singleplayer of the multiplayer maps with just bots, so you could practice flying or other techniques.
    The bugs in this game are a bit annoying for me as well. Nothing as bad as the release of BF4 but still annoying. I really hate that it's so easy to get caught on the map geometry. This gets me killed more often than not. Especially on that blown out Rotterdam map. Another things that bugs me or rather pulls me out of the experience are the wacky ragdolls. They have no weight to them. They make the players look like they are filled with air. It looks really weird when you kill someone and their ragdoll flops all over then jumps to the help for revive animation. Then when the time runs out for the revive it suddenly jumps and flops around all crazy like. Really pulls me out of the immersion.
    I don't like how the planes in the game have weird looking damage models. The wings suddenly clip off at the tips. It just looks unrealistic.
    The medic class is very underwhelming. They need some weapons that can reach out a bit further. It would have been cool to do it like BF4 and have the DMR style weapons universal across the classes.

    Now the glaring obvious problems this game had even before launch. I don't know how it was possible to completely screw up a WWII Battlefield game. I'm a WWII fanatic and I've waited since the first release of BF for a full complete WWII battlefield game to come out again. But they some how manage to completely screw the marketing for this game up. You will notice by the average user score on here. The marketing team should be fired. This team did real damage to this game. Why in the world would you try to get today's politics and social issues into a WWII historic game? Why? Why try to force and paint a different lens on history? When you try to bring todays politics into a historic game that will obviously piss off a lot of the fan base. The marketing team for BF1 did an amazing job and that game is not as fun as this game.

    I really really want this game to succeed and I hope with all the content they release over the next year that it will become a BF gem just like how BF4 had a rough start bug wise I hope this game will change the minds of people that hated it because of the marketing over time.

    It's a very polished product with beautiful graphics and an absolutely incredible interactive opening sequence of cutscenes.

    But the mechanics of the game discourage tactical play. With a single shot tracers identify the location of players which immediately erases any tactical advantage. Most of the maps, particularly the smaller ones, reward frantic rushes to random caps without any feeling of team co-operation. Easy to use health packs, low weapons damage, and fast respawns encourage thoughtlessly sprinting around from point to point with little consequence. Vehicles seem like a bit of an afterthought. Planes seem like a separate game all together.

    It's not that a visceral insanely paced arcade-y shooter can't be fun. But if that's what you want, buy a game that has been designed to be that. I've played most of the BF series and was hoping that I would get something designed more like 1942, Desert Combat, or even Bad Company where you have a sense of surging on the attack, and holding ground when defending. BF V is just meat in a blender. As soon you hit the power button you're left with a gross amorphous slurry of slop.

    I did not attempt to play online, but the single-player campaign was frustrating. The game largely forces you to either play by stealth or fight vast numbers of enemies. Even on the easiest of five difficulty settings, it's WAY too easy to die. None of the weapons available have sufficient ammunition available to camp long enough to clear an area. The average is about two magazines of ammo. Sniper rifles are largely pointless when you have to go loot enemies every ten kills or so. For someone that mostly just wanted to go sight-seeing through a historical campaign, the game wasn't really much fun.

    Die Auswahl der Spielmodi ist ok, leider fehlt mal wieder der Fanliebling Rush, dafür sind wieder die Großen Operationen verfügbar, welche ganz gut gelungen sind. Aber im vergleich zum Vorgänger fühlen diese sich nicht mehr so gewaltig an.
    Der Singleplayer war dieses mal sehr langweilig. Die erste Story hätte lustig sein können, aber 15 Minuten durch eine fast leere Wüste zu laufen und 2 Bomben legen war nicht sehr interessant, die zweite Story ist absoluter Müll und wurde umgedichtet. Nicht mehr ein Squad an Elitesoldaten haben die Operation geführt, eine einzelne Frau soll es getan haben. Leider nicht sehr historisch korrekt. Da hätte ich mir eher eine Mission als russische Sniperfrau gewünscht, die gab es nämlich wirklich.
    Die dritte Mission war schön insziniert, ganz ok.

    Technisch... unter aller Sau. Ich bin kein Entwickler, aber wie bekommt man es hin, dass seit jahren die selbern Fehler in der Engine kreuchen und fleuchen? Netcode ist am Arsch, die Lauf- und Kletteranimationen sind seit Battlefield 1 extrem verbuggt, teleportieren, grundloses sterben und vieles mehr. Das ist kein Niveau für ein Multibilionen $ AAA Unternehmen.

    I decided to try it out through the Origin Basic. It was my second Battlefield game from the series. Battlefield 1 was the first one and i played it a lot- really liked it.

    The first thing, that quite frustrated me, was time to kill, as someone in the previous reviews mentioned, you die, die and die, waiting for medic many times. In bad games it is really hard to focus, when you die so quickly. K/D ratio suffers. However, if you have a good team, which stick together and helps each other, this is not a big deal. But the word IF is a key here... you rarely get a good team. Many times people are camping with sniper rifles from the map corner, not willing to go into cap zone(not the developers fault, but it affects the pleasure from gameplay). And this is really frustrating. So - IF you have a good team, the low TTK will not bother you. If not - well. Prepare for frustration. I think, that time to kill is going to be changed again, but i may be mistaken.

    I like special abilities available for the squad commander. Very good idea. And if a player, which is a commander, doesn't give orders, it stops to be commander after some time. That was a good decision, because i hated that in Bf 1, where poor squad commander didn't give orders, and we were losing points.

    The second thing - sound. While the music is good(especially "under no flag" and "triumph". Both are awesome tracks) The sound is weird - it is often very hard to hear footsteps, and i hear tanks only, when they drive over me. It really doesn't help. You also don't feel the "might" of the weapon you are currently using. In BF 1 sounds of weapons were really awesome, here - they are not. It doesn't help the atmosphere.

    In BF1 we had one weapon Skin to choose. Now we can choose a skin for each weapon element. It wasn't necessary - it only makes menu harder to manage. Upgrading weapons, however, is nice.

    Building walls of sandbags and other entrenchments is a good fun. So is dragging stationary weapons by a truck or other vehicle.

    Finally some words about performance - driving vehicles is annoying. They block on each and every tree, rock, stone wall. Some are sliding. Sometimes game is changing into small slide show, where planes and soldiers disappear, only to appear in other place after a second or two later. And i had ping 20. When i first tried to complete Norway campaign, couldn't, due to a bug. ;)

    I wasn't happy about political correctness in the game or unhistorical elements. Others have written enough about it, i don't want to.

    Some good decisons, some bad.. I think 7 is a fair rating.

Multiplayer - it throws everything it has in your screen and it looks like a packed to capacity kindergarten: everything moves and flies around and everything feels like a toy, like a machine gun on your tank that shoots circle shaped projectiles (like on 1st generation Nintendo) that can't get the plane that flies 5 mph. We see animations when you shoot a guy that his helmet flies off, but if you are shot at you don't have such thing, nothing. This game for me personally is an insult.

    Hanging on what Battlefield 1 accomplished, Battlefield V keeps most of the concepts of its previous game on its multiplayer lot and expands it just a little, and after playing it 15 hours, you might feel there's not much to do on it.

    Campaign: after one of the most epic prologues I've ever seen in a game, the rest of the campaign repeats the same level structure of each war story in terms of the gameplay: cutscene-infiltration mission-another cutscene-another infiltration mission but less linear-cutscene. Besides of this, these war stories doesn't feel to have enough relation or repercussion on the WWII course, they feel like these stories only happened in that time lapse, but nothing to see in the war.

    Multiplayer: one of the most important progress this game made in comparison to Battlefield 1 is the weapon customization, because if in BF1 most of the weapons you could find were just variations of a single weapon and you weren't able to modify them, this time, the game allows you to actually change every benefit of them, from things that actually add these weapons an advantage for you once on the battlefield, to aesthetic aspects like their camouflage color. Leaving that aside, the rest of the multiplayer fails because of its current lack of playable content and its unbalanced matchmaking system. You might find every game mode really fun in the first hours, but the update plan its publisher took left a multiplayer focused game without enough necessary content to enjoy it after playing a few hours, without taking into account the fact that it doesn't have enough playable upgrades compared to its previous release.

    Grand-operations: once again, only a a few upgrades regarding the gameplay and the course of the operation you want to play, but, unlikeh the rest of the game, in this mode you actually feel you're playing a WWII-based game, but still the rest of the game should have done this given the way this game is sold.

    Conclusion: beside its stunning graphics and destruction engine, which actually had its previous release, Battlefield V does not feel like a WWII game, just as it lacks of enough enjoyable content on its multiplayer modes and, finally, puts on the table one of the most mediocre and less inspired campaigns in the Battlefield series. At this moment, I would not recommend this game with its current lack of content and taking into account we are barely on the first chapter of the update plan. Maybe the battle royale mode and the rest of the multiplayer content is yet to come to the game it could make it an enjoyable FPS game, but, just as it has been happening in the last two years, Electronic Arts lets us down once more.

Albeit buggy at times during multiplayer, the game plays similar to Battlefield 1, with a few FPS drops during online play. The main issue that the game runs into is that it feels obviously rushed out. A lot of the interactive mechanics specifically need some polishing to smoothen out gameplay, the "incentive for teamwork" feels almost always punitive, and the balance between classes seem to be lacking.

    Some positives about the game: The graphics are pretty much just BF1 with a few more textures, the animations that are not buggy look beautiful, online progression is at a good pace, and the game as a whole seems to be a bit more immersive than the previous iterations.

    Recommendations: If you are looking for a new BF game, this will fulfill that desire. It is definitely more team based, so try to get a party to play with. Personally, I would wait until updates are made that would make the game play a little better.

    Overall: 5/10. The game is buggy but fun. Once the bugs are fixed, I will update the rating accordingly. It feels like a twin to BF1, with some upgrades at the expense of some glitches. It is as fun as BF1 in my opinion, but I am hoping for more with the upcoming updates.

Mi è piaciuta la classe del cecchino che ora è più un supporto per individuare nemici, in questo capitolo non troveremo quindi metà giocatori a fare i cecchini visto che questa classe ha più una funzione di spotting, tutto sommato direi che è un buon gioco anche se avrei garbato un sacco più campagne al lancio (almeno il doppio) che sono veramente belle.

Instead enjoy some of the older battlefields, because they are a lot better. Expand

    Tiene muchos fallos gráficos, jugándolo a 1080p y en ultra las rocas parecen de lego y el mar está hecho de manera horrible, el gta IV es más realista que el batllefield respecto al agua.
    Lo mejor es el multijugador, que pese a todos los bugs que tiene (y a que es un copia y pega del 1) se hace entretenido, lo malo son los desafíos que te piden completar las campañas al 100%, porque como dije antes la campaña es un bodrio intenso.

    Se me hace raro ver a tantas mujeres nazis en el ejército también, aunque eso no lo valoro de manera tan negativa como lo anterior.

    La jugabilidad es buena, pero es una copia del 1, los gráficos pese a las carencias anteriormente mencionadas son buenos y superan a los del último COD por goleada, pero para nada necesitas eso 6gb de Vram que te piden, porque se ven muchos fallos tontos.

    Las muertes las veo cutres, no hay desmembramiento, no hay gore, no hay nada, te puede explotar una granada en la mano que to vas a seguir igual pero muerto, además las escenas son surrealistas y parecen animaciones de muñecos a lo cod mw2.

    Algo surrealista que tiene el multijugador es que, por ejemplo un tanque te revienta con el cañón pero pese a eso sigues con la posibilidad de ser reanimado por el médico, le han quitado mucho realismo al juego.

    No se siente como un juego de la segunda guerra mundial para nada, le doy un aprobado por los avances técnicos, y porque sigue siendo mejor que COD, pero solo lo recomendaría por su multijugador y para nada me gastaría 60$ en este producto, lo recomiendo en rebajas.

    De todas formas la experiencia multijugador tiene la esperanza de ser mejorada puesto que en febrero viene el modo Battle Royale y demás adiciones, algo que dará más vidilla y entretenimiento al juego.

    La banda sonora es buena, pero es no es nada nuevo en un videojuego de EA (ya que es de las pocas cosas que hacen bien)

    In a better place than where it was at launch but still has all the re-occurring issues from previous BF games. Devs seem to be very slow at updating the game also which makes the games maps and weapons get very repetitive very fast. Get on sale.

    The game is one of the most fun once out of series and I personally have the most stable connect to servers since bf3. Gun play ,classes and progression is good though out. That said, the **** with story, lack of red army,swj **** and the fact that game is simply not finished is very upsetting. And the phrase "Soviets changed sides during the war" is not acceptable from company rep.

    I really enjoy the game as a fps but its not a ww2 game. worst of all is the so called unknown war stories . the story called nordlys is a big lie the story is so far from the truth, just check out Operation Gunnerside. i hope that they how actually took part in this operation dont hear about this . just imagine the risk they took then someone else gets credit for it.

    The multiplayer, the bread and butter of Battlefield : Mediocre, uninspired and boring maps create boring gameplay. With the exception of 1 or 2 maps, the rest are poorly thought out and instead of feeling like warzones they feel empty and bland with players running around aimlessly instead of having the battle lines form when taking a point. You know those Battlefield moments the games are known for ? Well, for some reason they are quite rare in this game. BF3, BF4 and even BF1 had crazy, funny, unexpected moments every minute but that doesn't seem to happen in this game a lot. The only funny moments are usually due to weird bugs and physics fails. Bugs and lack of content aside, the gameplay here is mediocre, most guns feel like airsoft guns, there's no punch to them, the graphics are good but too cartoonish and the colours look washed out making everything look really bright in some places and way too dark in others. Even the test range is a disappointment and it's only good for flying planes, not much else.

    The game might get better after future patches like most BF games did in the past but there's something mediocre about the gameplay that will be hard to fix.

    At the moment the game is an unfinished mess not worthy of anyone's money.

    Ok so lets ignore the controversy and talk about this game only for what it is, a game. I haven't played battlefied since battlefield 3 so I can't speak for how it is different from battlefied one, but I will reference past battlefields up to battlefield 3 in this review.

    Overall: This is another battlefield shooter with some interesting new elements that I haven't seen before. Classes are well made and balanced. The free cosmetics are nice touch and so is the minor customization you can do on a weapon by weapon basis (this makes up for the lack of customization in weapons given we are using WWI, WWII and later guns).

    Gunplay: This is where the game shines in my opinion from past battlefields. I'm a sucker for old fashion guns. The bolt action snipers are a blast and the semi auto rifles/ sub machine guns are some of my favorite. The addition (I'm guessing they existed in Battlefield One also) of machine guns that are more powerful but require you to lay down to shoot make the game much more interesting as well, but I haven't spent much time with them.

    Time to Kill:
    The time to kill feels appropriate, but I do wish bolt action snipers did a bit more damage. Currently you have to shoot people twice to kill them or once in the head making bolt actions kind of pointless when some of the semi auto snipers can also two shot kill. I still take the bolt for fun head shot picks, but they should buff direct chest shots to also one shot kill in my opinion for bolt actions.

    All automatics seem to kill at a good rate especially the heavy machine guns from my limited time playing them.

    Maps: This is where the game loses two points for me. The maps aren't amazing. They are good looking, but are a bit boring. Nothing about them stands out as interesting. There are two maps with a bridge which makes for some interesting fights on top of it, but thats a bout all that stands out. Battlefield 3 on the other hand had extremely diverse maps with each one having unique elements that stood out (the giant one with a spire in the middle was super fun for vehicles, the tunnel one made for crazy linear pushes and fights with cover to dip and weave between, ect) Don't expect nearly as much from these maps.

    Gamemodes: I docked another point because of this. The two game modes that are most played are called breakthrough and grand operations. Grand operations has a bunch of different game modes thrown into it so I'll talk about that one second. Breakthrough was the spiritual successor to rush as the main game mode and its only ok. One team defends two - three bases and the other team has to try to secure all of them at the same time to move onto the next wave of bases. Unlike rush I never felt satisfied when I took a base as the enemy team could always take it back. There was no massive explosion or anything to make you feel like you accomplished anything. Just a temporary goal achieved because you had more people around a flag than the enemy. You literally don't have to do anything but stand there with other teammates to take a base. And when you team runs off to take the other objectives you have no hope of defending a huge area alone (in rush you could defend the building where you had to plant the bomb a bit better by yourself or a single squad). The game mode is still decently fun as it beats the heck out of boring game modes like teamdeathmatch, but its no where near as fun as rush.

    Grand operations is a bit more fun as it includes three rounds with different scenarios on one map area (there are about 3 map areas in total if i remember correctly). The objectives are fun, but once again not as fun as past installations to the series, but what makes it a bit more fun than break through is the scale of the fighting is much larger. Where this mode fails is the fact that only the last round of 3 matters for who wins. The first two rounds don't mean anything in this game mode except a small boost to the attackers if they do well the previous round (the defenders don't ever get anything). This is ridiculous from a game design standpoint (it should be best of three). If this game was actually competitive I would dock several points for just this. However, since these games are a casual shooter at the end of the day I don't think its really justified to dock more points for an arbitrary victory or loss screen at the end of matches.

    PC Port: Haven't had too many issues that other people have reported. Occasional small bugs that have existed in all battlefield games that never really detracted from my enjoyment. The only thing that has really bothered me is that the game starts off windowed sometimes and I have to go to the video settings in the game to get it back to full screen.

    Summary: A fun casual shooter with enjoyable gunplay and lackluster maps and game modes. If you are looking for a run and gun where you can just relax this is a good option in my opinion. Over all it satisfies my itch for that purpose.

    As a battlefield game it plays and feels like it should.

Recently, however with the addition and focus on the battle royal mode "Firestorm" as well as developing a method of including micro-transactions; the games method of adding weapons, gear, and vehicles through weekly challenges could be in danger of making players pay for those items instead of being able to unlock them for free. The game has a decent selection of firearms and vehicles in game but has obviously left out many of them in favor of releasing them later with large expansion packs. Multiplayer can often find itself plagued by cheaters and hackers that do not even attempt to hide their acts, fearing no repercussions as so far there hasn't really been any. This isn't to say the multiplayer isn't fun as the classic large scale matches with many vehicles driving or flying about make for both hectic and fun moments the series is known for. Vehicles have also been reworked to add an ammo system that they can now run out and have to restock, with this the tanks especially heavy tanks feel big and powerful and the unique designs of the era all have strengths and weaknesses. Firestorm does not add anything nor make itself very distinct from any other battle royal but is just simply battle royal in Battlefield. A possible downfall is that there seems to be such a focus on trying to jump into the bandwagon of the popularity of battle royal instead of focusing on the true aspects of what make Battlefield a truly great game and make it stand on its own rather than try to take it in a direction and focus on something that is overused and losing attraction.

It is the same bs when they do a historical movie they add non whites actors to play whites to fool stupid people or sweedish cucks in to beliving this mutlicultural utopia , ignoring the fact it never existed and it will never work , there is allways a dominant culture . When you have Patrick Soderlund rewarded with millions of dollars for insulting the community and bringing his daughter as a shield for the female fiasco you know this is paid propaganda.
    MP patch 5.0 :
    -machine guns way to op prone you have no recoil no spread and some are even op with hip fire from long distance again no spread no recoil ...
    - shotguns takes no skill in this game
    -massive visibility issues , prone on your back in to the corner or bush and your nearly invisible , also tanks and players blend in and since no normal spoting is available they just camp and wait.
    - limited spoting so the only viable class is scout to find out campers and spot tanks
    - spoting on tanks doesn`t work , it doesn`t spot the tanks and planes for me or my team
    -the game promotes camping around resuply points (this got fixed when they increased the ammo)
    - prone machine gun accuracy is like a laser from miles away and also ttk way to fast.
    - you don`t spawn with full equipement ammo and you can only get equipement ammo from resuply station, maybe they wanted to avoid grenade spam , basicaly you are not fully effective when you spawn
    - very easy to spawn trap
    - Panzerfaust damage to low versus infantery and also no track disable after you target them...
    - uniform skins are a joke , why no specific skins for each country in Europe? bf1 system was way better since now you have to pay if you want rare skins
    - Weapons and tank upgrading system shoud be based on xp not company coin
    - v1 roket shoud do damage on your team tanks (friendly fire) if you target them , 20 hp tank managed to escape a v1 rocket that kill all players who were close to the tank , this is retarded
    - some tanks camos make the tank almost invisible perfect for edge camping and also there is a dark skin that looks a lot like a destroyed tank perfect for middle camping , the no spoting the tanks is retarded
    - the time limit for bomb and defuse is stupid , only respawn tickets shoud decide if the match ends early
    - run and slide is so stupid , it removes the skill from the game
    -type2a way to op and to give medic this instant kill weapon lowers the skill needed for rush and defend
    -achivements were enemy has to be in objective area and had to be done in one game are stupid - it`s mostly luck not skill to make them , also the prone achivements are retarded but they can be done in combined arms.
    -special asignments limited to four at a time and you have to leave the match to get reward or pick another asigment , i wouldn't care if there was 4 asignments per class but maybe there is a tehnical limitation because the game was rushed.
    If i want no spoting and no minimap i play hardcore , the best compromise is to give acces to the spoting scope for every class so at least planes and tanks can be spoted and prone **** make the scout spoting scope more long range and give more points.
    In patch 5.2.2 the smg were perfect , the only thing they needed was to increase recoil 15% to all weapons , make support weapons kill at distance with 1 bullet less , extend the assualt weapons max damage range by 5-10 meters , insted they buffed the snipers to make it easy for the noobs to get a moving shot and added masive recoil increase , they opted to decrese the bth by 2 bullets insted of 1 so basicaly it`s 90% the same as 5.0 , now every prone **** camps and gets kills.
    They fixed the low ammo and some of the visibility issues.
    Chinese cheaters with wall and aimbot , new accout cheaters
    IF your ping is over 150ms you shoud be kicked
    Tank machine gun has way to low damage on planes
    No hardcore mode
    No team balance or option to swich side.
    Found strange bugs: with m1a1 , 3-4 frags the gun fired very fast with no recoil and the sound was fast and with high pitch :) , no respawn critical bug , random disconnects again a critical bug since my ping is allways below 40ms and my internet allways works after server disconnect, region filter doesn`t apply if you use quick match 3 games in a row it put me on asian servers , i have to allways use server browser so my region filter can work , no double xp , the User Interface is garbage
    Bug Bren is unlocked after i reached level 90.
    Update:EA decided to make available the cosmetics and the upgrade to the definitive edition for company coins.Nice to see they added historically accurate uniforms , better late than never:) +1 for this .

Heck i even did whole weekend and lan sessions with friends. But i just cant bring myself to play more than an hour a day of BF5. Its just boring and repepititve as hell.

    My generel problems with the game so far:

    - Its EA, you know we all who still buy games from EA will go to the deepest parts of hell
    - For some reason i am kind of missing a sense of teamplay in this game. Just like BF1 you either play with friends or completly lone wolf, because everyone in you squad do their own **** and noone wants to be squadlead. Then you take squadlead but then either they complain, leave or ignore you.
    I know that Battlefield isnt necessery a tactical game but i never recalled it being this much casual. I dont know maybe noone is social anymore. Back in BF3 i even made new friends with the game.

    - In terms of weapons, gadgets and vehicles its as bad as BF1. I am a huge sucker for planes especially WW2 planes but wanting to play planes you either wait a long time in the spawn screen (where you are no help fpr you team and are basically just wathcing them) or you just give up and play as infantry. I really hate the spawn with vehicles and that they dont spawn on the map anymore.
    Overall the number of weapons and gadgets is a joke compared to other games and older Battlefields.

    -Many, MANY bugs

    Positives:
    -WW2 Even if its presentation is off, i still love the scenario. Next time they really should call it alternative ww2 or experimental. Dont know why they refused to do that.
    -The graphics and sounds are phenomenal. But first thats like 20% of the game and second for me good gameplay is thousand times more important than RTX reflective surfaces.

    To sum it up. I have the same problem as in BF1. Its fun the first 8 hours maybe but then i put it down and neve play it again. And thats just a waste of money.

    I've put lot of hours into BF4 and BF1 and I have to say BF V's multiplayer is worth the money, especially if you consider that all the future content will be for free. I love the fortification system, I think it gives you a lot of advantage in Grand Operations. In Conquest its a different story because the opponent team can reuse it. :) The maps are great, although in my opinion theI've put lot of hours into BF4 and BF1 and I have to say BF V's multiplayer is worth the money, especially if you consider that all the future content will be for free.

In Conquest its a different story because the opponent team can reuse it. :) The maps are great, although in my opinion the Hamada map is a little bit too big for 64 players. Progression system, attrition system and also weapon customization are great. I love the change that there is no spotting, so now the gameplay is more strategic than in BF1 and BF4. You really have to think twice which way to go and always use some cover. Otherwise you don't have much chance.
    Single player mode I only tried for 10-15 minutes, but I realized its not for me at all, but I didn't buy the game for that so I don't really care about it.

    Campaign/War storys:
    Very disappointing. This is more like a bad COD game then a Battlefield game. The two first warstorys has no battlefield at all. Just you, completely alone against hundreds of soilders, planes and tanks. Destroy a radarstation, then another radarstation, then a truck.... Very easy because the enemy always seems to store bombs right by the thing you sopose to blow up

    Had a really rocky launch but coming back to the game now I'd say it's very fun. Optimisation has greatly improved for PC, gameplay is far smoother, and the Japan v USA update was brilliant.

    Alright, year 2 Pacific Update made all the difference. Old huge maps, minimizing sjw stuff(while still keeping some of it, your top management are freaking sick fanatics), aerial, marine and vehicular combat. Had a blast playing for several hours on these islands. Obvious chinese cheaters and lack of Hardcore Mode are the only issues for now i'd say. 2020 year rating is 5/10 easily(-3 for sjw stuff, -2 for abandoning Hardcore Mode).

    Game keep a really good atmosphere of a real fight in maps.But Time took kill is unforgivable and snipers are dumb fu**s.

    the gameplay is good, definitely an improvement from BF1 especially the movement (makes BF1 kinda cluncky in comparison) and gunplay but the game is hampered by the hacker/cheater, whatever you wanna call them. 9 out of 10 server is filled with hackers because the devs can't do proper anti-cheat, the 1 out of 10 being a custom server that got admins in them.

    and don't forget the patch,

Battlefield V's multiplayer falls short in many ways that made previous Battlefields great, from lack of customization, to unfair balance of weapons and vehicles, to the visually stunning but pretty terrible maps. A large amount of Battlefield V's problems stem from the historical limitations of the WW2 era. In order to maintain historical accuracy, things have to sacrificed, usually at the expense of the gameplay. The customization of guns and vehicles feels lacking compared to games like Battlefield 4, even if it is a step up from Battlefield 1. Battlefield V introduces skill trees, an interesting concept, but simply not enough to satisfy most Battlefield players' need for customization. There's typically about 3 scopes per gun, and skill trees are just a minor decision between hip fire and scoped accuracy for guns, or a few different weapons for vehicles.

    Battlefield V's maps are visually stunning, as expected from any Dice-EA game, but again fall victim to the limitations of the time period. The open nature almost every single map makes it almost impossible to play even a single game without getting absolutely dominated by a vehicle. Planes and tanks reign supreme, even numerous attempts to balance them. Most guns are almost useless at range, leading to a sniperfest, especially on modes like breakthrough. The best maps in the game are easily the Pacific add-ons, including Iwo Jima, Wake Island, Solomon Islands, and Pacific Storm. These game modes are best played on their original Breakthrough, but are still interesting on Conquest. Arguably the best original contender for best map is the most closed and urban one, the Dutch city of Rotterdam. As of now, support has been completely ended on Battlefield V as focus, and hope for the series, is placed on Battlefield 6.

    Singleplayer: Just like Battlefield 1, war stories make their return in Battlefield V. They're an interesting idea, but just like Battlefield 1 they make the campaign feel incomplete as a whole. Hopefully, Battlefield 6 will see a return to a more classic style of campaign. Overall, the Battlefield V war stories have interesting concepts, but forgettable stories and gameplay. Each war story feels too similar to the last, leading to a somewhat uninteresting campaign as a whole.

    Cons:
    - Unfinished game (No Eastern Front)
    - Random women screaming on the battlefield, I would've understood it if they were Russian soldiers, but German and British women soldiers screaming is kinda annoying and really-really out of place.
    - The game's teaser is really stupid (Steampunk styled WW2? Ridiculous)

    6/10. The game itself is not bad, after the Pacific update (It actually felt like WW2), they had a good foundation to move on forward, but DICE is no longer supporting BFV. It's a shame because if we would've gotten the Eastern Front, the game could've been much better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Battlefield V bana göre Battlefield serisinin en kötü oyunu. Battlefield V, Battlefield 1'in 2. Dünya Savaşı temalı genişleme paketiymiş gibi hissettirdi bana. Çünkü grafikler ve oynanış mekanikleri Battlefield 1'in neredeyse aynısı. Oyunun hikayesini anlatmaya başlayayım, daha doğrusu hikayelerini. Çünkü oyun hikaye anlatımı olarak Battlefield 1'de de kullanılan "War Stories" sistemini kullanıyor ancak bu sistem pek de iyi değil. Bu sisteme göre tek bir hikaye yerine daha kısa ve birbirinden bağımsız birkaç farklı hikaye anlatılıyor. Oyun tek bir hikayeye değil de kısa ama fazla hikayeye yoğunlaştığı için hikayelerin ilerleyişi çok kopuk oluyor ve beklenilen etkiyi yaratamıyor. Bu oyunda Prologue, Nordlys, Trailleur, Under No Flag ve The Last Tiger olmak üzere 5 farklı savaş hikayesi var. Prologue adından da anlaşılacağı gibi Battlefield V'in giriş bölümü ve farklı yerlerden kesitlerle savaşın kötü bir şey olduğunu anlatıyor. Nordlys'te ise esir alınan annesini kurtarmaya çalışan bir kadının hikayesini oynuyoruz. Under No Flag hikayesinde bir suçlu olan Billy Bridger'ın İngiliz askeri olarak savaşa gönderilmesi ve savaşta yaşadıkları anlatılıyor. Tirailleur'da da Alman askerleri ile savaşan Fransız askerlerinin hikayesi anlatılıyor. Son olarak The Last Tiger'da ise bir Alman tankını kontrol eden mürettebatın hikayesi anlatılıyor. Hikayeler bu şekildeydi. Hikayelerin hepsi çok kopuk ve acele bir şekilde anlatılıyor, ayrıca hiçbir hikayenin derinliği yok. Bu hikayeler sanki sadece öylesine oyuna konulmuş gibi, çünkü hepsi özensiz hazırlanmış. Ana karakterler de dahil olmak üzere hikayelerin hiçbirinde ilgi çekici bir karakter yok, zaten karakterleri tanıyamıyoruz bile çünkü sadece birkaç kere ara sahne görme ve diyalog duyma şansımız oluyor. Sunum olarak da oyun pek iyi değil, yalnızca kısa kısa birkaç ara sahne ve önemsiz diyaloglar var hikayelerin içinde, ben bunları dikkate bile almadım açıkçası. Oynanışa gelirsek, oynanış ve mekanikler Battlefield 1 ile oldukça benzer. Vuruş hissi fena değil, silah sesleri ve kullanımları da fena değil. Silah çeşitliliği oyun 2. Dünya Savaşı'nda geçtiği için diğer Birinci Şahıs Nişancı oyunlarına göre daha az. Yapay zeka çok kötü, önceki oyunda da yapay zeka kötüydü ve bu oyunda yapay zekanın geliştirilmemiş olması üzücü. Düşmanlar genellikle çok saçma hareket ediyorlar ve sürekli hata yapıyorlar. Oyunun en büyük sorunu ise görev çeşitliliği, neredeyse bütün görevler birbirinin aynısı. Görevler hep önce çatışma daha sonra bir yerlere bomba yerleştirip orayı havaya uçurma şeklinde ilerliyor, doğal olarak bir yerden sonra bu aşırı sıkıcı bir hal almaya başlıyor. Tekrar tekrar aynı şeyi yapmak hiç keyifli değil. Grafiksel olarak bu oyun ile Battlefield 1 arasında gözle görülür bir fark olmasa da yine de grafikler çok iyi. Kullanılan gelişmiş ve stabil oyun motoru sayesinde performans sorunu da yaşamadım. Oyunu oynarken birçok küçük çapta hata ile karşılaştım. Battlefield V sürekli kendini tekrar eden yapısı ve kötü hikaye anlatımından dolayı iyi bir Birinci Şahıs Nişancı oyunu olmayı başaramamış. Expand

    Its movement is fast, something more like Warzone style, which can be a point in its favor or a point against, personally, against, I do not like that fast movement and sliding.

    The immersion fell in an unimaginable way in this installment, you don't feel that atmosphere of world war that Battlefield 1 left us, this is like a war of people in disguises who love to slide, I don't even feel that the frenetic battles have been preserved.

    Historical certainly isn't a word that fits this game. Nothing is historical and they stuck their costumes in to ruin the immersion more when they could have kept the cosmetic purchases and kept a historical game, like they did with Battlefield 1 where the paints for the weapons were based on something real, though I don't know if they all were.

    This game tried to bring new things to the saga that nobody asked for and nobody wanted, and with Battlefield 2042 they didn't learn their lesson.

    Battlefield V is a decent shooter, but a bad Battlefield. All they should have done is take Battlefield 1942 as a base. When I look at Battlefield 1942 in 2042 Portal mode I see what Battlefield V should have been, what it could have been, too bad about the fate of this game.

    In Battlefield V we got back to WW2, but with refined gunplay and death system which works great. There are also little problems such as low number of maps and stability issues, that are taking the fun away, but nothing that can't be fixed.
