    I spent thousand of hours in BF3,
    BF4 was great but I didnt enjoyed as much.
    BF1 was a no-go for me and still feels like a low quality shooter. BF5 had a very rough start but damn the animation and gameplay kept me playing it. I also met people like in BF3 I felt like a deeper connection with my squad than in the previous BF games maybe the feeling that someone is risking his in-game

    Apparently you need some time to get into to game, when I showed it to some friends which are used to other shooters, they kept dying and therefore didn't enjoyed it that much.
    But pls don't let the negative reviews influence your interest.
    If you have interest give it a try, for me it's an amazing game which I play frequently.

    Despite not having absolutely stellar start this game matured really good. Especially when you consider it was killed for the pathetic show of BF2042. Battlefield V has everything fun game should have - variety of choices, team-play, tactics and atmosphere. I've spend 1500+ hours in it and I plan to add hundreds more to that.

    This is an excellent game that deserves much more credit than it currently has. Most of the review are based on its beta or release state years ago. But it matured really well and it is almost a MUST in Battlefield franchise history.

    Really tried to love BF2042 but it was too hard, the game is just not fun. Playing BFV again, it is just such an amazingly well made game.

    Battlefield V | 2018 | PC | Played for: 12h

    Battlefield formula set in WW2 era (minus Russians). It's what you would expect from a typical Battlefield game (sandbox maps, with 4 classes, tons of vehicles (tanks, boats, planes etc.) with a decent balance. The shooting feels good and right, servers stability and ping is good. A ton of progression and achievements. Graphically it

    Graphically it is really impressive from the looks but specially from optimization (I got 70 fps on GTX1070 @1440p all on ultra, no raytracing ofc)
    Singleplayer short stories are fun, but in no way enough to justify the purchase.

    This is my favorite Battlefield thus far, it's a gorgeous game with incredible visuals, atmospheric audio and very fluid gameplay. As a package it's incredibly well made, and it runs like a dream.

    The main issue I have is with the staggered release date, giving an 11 day advantage to "premier members" was a huge, greedy mistake. The fact that actually buying the game was the worst option is madness to me. Other issues include a poorly thought out UI, which looks nice but requires far too many clicks to get anywhere, and a slight lack of content, the game is definitely a few maps light and the customization options are left wanting. All of this is being fixed in an upcoming patch, and when it is there will be very little for me to complain about.

    THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO MICROTRANSACTIONS IN THE GAME. I want to get that out of the way because I've seen a few reviews now quite blatantly lie about this. As of right now there is no premium / cash currency and all the unlockable content is unlocked through playing the game (I hate blatant lying from trolls who haven't even touched the game).

    This is a really strong Battlefield title
    THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO MICROTRANSACTIONS IN THE GAME. I want to get that out of the way because I've seen a few reviews now quite blatantly lie about this. As of right now there is no premium / cash currency and all the unlockable content is unlocked through playing the game (I hate blatant lying from trolls who haven't even touched the game).

    This is a really strong Battlefield title that does a lot to keep players engaged and working together as a team. They've reinvented a few game modes from previous titles so there are more ways to play than ever. Buy this for the multiplayer; the singleplayer war stories are extremely short.

    The gunplay has been reworked from Battlefield 1. Weapons now feel actually pretty good to shoot, it's a little less luck based and with practice you can do so much better than was possible in 1.

    Behemoths are gone, though DICE now introduces Squad Reinforcements which ... kind of take their place (though they aren't as grand). Now, when your squad gets a certain number of points, the squad leader can call in special vehicles or even a V-1 rocket to cause massive damage.

    The weapon unlock and customization system is amazing. Weapons are unlocked as you rank up your class, so no more "get 50 kills in one life" challenges to unlock a weapon (at least not yet). You unlock customization options for your weapon as you level it up, and as you hit certain milestone ranks you can unlock assignments ("Get 60 kills while attacking objectives") to unlock variations of the parts (especially scopes/sights). There are also specialization "perks" for the weapons and vehicles that you buy with Company Coins (which you only get from playing the game and completing assignments). These specializations grant you small but crucial bonuses (for instance, faster reload times or slightly better recoil control on weapons, or additional armor or stronger ammunition on vehicles), and they can be swapped out from the game menu at any time.

    Vehicle combat feels far more fleshed out now. Rockets and shells have a chance to be deflected off armor, tanks have more vulnerability points, you can make pilots crash by shredding a wing up, etc. Ground vehicles do feel underpowered, and air vehicles feel overpowered (especially when you start adding perks and specializations to them), but in a balanced match the aircraft aren't too overwhelming.

    The game looks incredible, though I do have to dock it a point here because there are some very glaring issues with brightness and contrast on certain maps. On one map, for instance, there are bright outside areas and darker interior spaces. Even with HDR off and brightness settings adjusted, it can be really difficult to see enemies in those pitch black apartment hallways. On a snow covered map, though, that adjusted brightness setting instantly blinds you, so there's no happy medium point for now.

    I also wish they had shipped with more maps at launch, but considering how well the Grand Operations play out on the maps that do exist, I won't complain too much about it.

    I'm also not the best Battlefield player -- I tend to hover around a 1:1 KDR and generally finish in the top 35% of my team -- but at about 42 hours in-game (not necessarily play) time, I have completed all the unique Assignments for online (meaning the only other assignments I can complete are for classes and weapons), I 100% the first war story (which took about two and a half hours with restarts...), have achieved character rank 36, maxed out the medic class rank and one weapon rank, and have almost "mastered" both the weapon and medic class.

    I think the progression system is more than fair, but it does seem a little unbalanced in certain areas.

    Overall, this is a very impressive game, and I'm really excited to see what the future has in store for us!

    EDIT: For what it's worth, my experience with online FPS dates back to the original Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat mods for HL1 and I've played Battlefield since 1942. This is a great game with a lot of potential that it's not currently filling, but it's still a fun experience while we wait.

So nothing touches BF3 and 2 for me ever.
    So after 100 hours playing online without ever completing a single sp campaign (I wish they wiould stop creating single player for a multiplayer game, seriously!) I will make a pause now and wait for new maps and that battle royale mode in march. Glad I don't have to pay for a DLC this time.
    Though the graphic settings are pretty bugged for me (HDR fail and resolution bugs),
    this game looks still like the best I've seen up to date (thanx GTX 1080! => 1440p60p with HDR and settings on ultra). Glad I bought it for PC not PS4 pro this time.
    I only think there should've been 1-2 more maps for launch, or that Battleroyale mode....but hey...it comes in 2 months now.

    Let me do a summary for the whiners:
    - single player doesn't matter, never mattered once!
    - TTK whiner, get a life
    - historical accuracy, who cares this is a semi-arcade multiplayer shooter with just enough realisic elements to stay fun
    - if you hate EA this is no reason to hate a very good DICE game

    That's the best Battlefield game so far. Gameplay is great. Great optimization and graphic. You feel like participate in real war. Game has great maps.
    Single player content is short and nothing special, but you don't buy battlefield for single player experience.
    I guess someone should finally take in moderation reviews posted on this site (not only that game). Many negative reviews

    I have played battlefield since bf2. Since then I have hooked onto no shooter game, it had the best weapon customization and depth into your own personality in a video game. Now Ik people say this game is like COD it's really not. The fast pace may be a little too much and the new attrition system can get some getting used too. But overall I think this gives battlefield a better look thanI have played battlefield since bf2.

The fast pace may be a little too much and the new attrition system can get some getting used too. But overall I think this gives battlefield a better look than in bf 1. The game really gave me a tactical feel!

    Graphics - 9/10 they look really good but feel somewhat of a downgrade in terms of distance quality (it might just be my screen and graphics settings all on high ) Colors do look cartoony and fake-ish at times but don't really notice after a while.

    Gameplay/Gunplay- 9/10 in terms of getting rid of the horrible bf 1 random bullet accuracy it feels really good. Fast pace squad play and rushing flag points really give me a tactical feeling. Watching corners, breaking windows and using the environment is really interesting. I love the additions of 360 degrees prone and crouch running. The new attrition system works well never felt in need of ammo or health too much gave them just the right amount and always gave me and others the feeling to actually give health or ammo to others. I love the realistic tank gameplay just like in bf 1 where you enter the hatch and hop in with your buddies, a better angling of the armor system which really helps vs heavy tanks and panzershrects . Every class has a role that you will most likely follow . The sniper class has a skill gape now and take skill to land headshots. Time to death still feels as if you die way to quickly than you kill though.

    Progression-10/10Now this where I think a lot of battlefield 5s quality Starts to show the new customization system looks perfect lots of realistic clothing and face paints. Good weapon skins later on. The missions give you something to do other than bf 1 did at launch. The weapon progression gets some getting used to because u forget there are no real attachments besides scopes. After a while, your weapon gets really good and fits your playstyle once you pick your weapons perks in the gun tree. The Company is awesome as well presets for every nation clothing presets for every class and weapon really good. DICE has shown a great improvement here! The only downside is I wish they would add more sights and scope mag options like in bf 1 Very hard to snipe with an x6 scope that takes up your whole screen.

    Performance - 7/10 Bf1 and Bf5 both run fairly bad at times. I have a i5 7500 with a 980ti and 16 gigs of 2133hz RAM I should be able to run this game without tweaking at all on ultra but unfortunately you need an i7 or an overclocked CPU in order to get good frames. Now, for the most part, I do get 60+ frames but do dip below 60 on Narvik and other maps as well. Bugs were very minor for me and the game didn't crash once. Although sinking through the floor when reviving happens a lot. Dice really need the improve the game's performance for the average gamer PC.

    Now Battlefield 5 isn't perfect and we haven't even gotten past launch to see what dice is going to give for content but for 60$ the game is worth most of it right now. If you are unsure I would buy the 15 $ origin pass to try it out or at least wait after Christmas to see the progress i really hate how people just give this game a 0 because of changes. Really, change will happen sure it's not bf 4 content wise yet and customization isn't the same but at least they are listening to the community and that's something we should give our hopes for.

    Bombers able to bomb spawn point right when match started (fixed)
    Certain weapons are a little too strong KE7 (fixed)
    Microtransactions are still in (but atleast its not pay 2 win)

    To me most of the reviews which are very low seem like people played the game for 20 mins and got steam rolled by a better team and just jumped on the bandwagon and whined about the game, which is fair enough.

    This is a review based on 300 hours of online PVP and about the state of the game at this moment!

    A lot has been said about this game. If you'd believe everything on the internet then yes, this is the worst game ever. But if you are like me and don't really care about what other people say or what their opinions are and rather find out for yourself then Battlefield V is A TON OF FUN!

    I'm not the type to complain about historical facts and such, I'm the type who just tries to enjoy games as much as possible. That is also what I did with Battlefield V. Almost 300h on pvp (this is actually the first Battlefield on which I haven't played the campaign/story mode due to having access to the closed alpha. I usually used the campaign/story mode to get a feel for the game before going into pvp) and I'm still having a blast!
    I do wish they'll add more maps into the game soon as 9 maps just isn't that much. Also there are like 3 or 4 maps I never play because they are not my favorite (Fjell, Twisted Steel, Panzerstorm for example I barely ever play) so the map pool is quite small.

    But if you have loved Battlefield in the past purely because of the gameplay then I'm pretty sure you won't be dissapointed.
    The only thing dissapointing to me is they released this game into the public when it just wasn't ready. And because they did they got a lot of **** for it and rightfully so. But give credit where credit is due. They improved the game A LOT since launch and the experience has become smoother and smoother for me.

    Firestorm is almost here (unless they postpone it which wouldn't surprise me) and when it is I would say Battlefield V is at a point where the sales price is finally justified.

    So in brief, yes, the game launched at a terrible state, should NOT have been launched back then.
    No, this is not a bad game by any means. The fun factor in this game is way higher than in most FPS games nowadays. The only FPS I've played last couple years with about the same amount of fun in it is Rainbow Six Siege. And yes I have practically played almost every AAA FPS game from the last couple of years. I am honestly blown away by the amount of bad reviews this game has gotten. One would think this game is as bad as Fallout 76 (don't even bother thinking of buying that game, it literally is the worst game ever) which is totally unfair and just plain stupid!

    So if you're a Battlefield veteran like me and play because of the gameplay and not all the other things surrounding it (historical accuracy, womens in the game and such) then trust me you will defenitely have fun with this!

    Don't normally voice my opinion but the "user score" here is unrepresentative of the opinions of most folks I've talked to IN GAME

    From the campaign and multiplayer the best insight I can offer so far is that the SJW pandering "diverse" trailer shown earlier in the year is absolutely not reflective of how the game stands at the moment. It's enjoyable and from the content I have seen so
    Don't normally voice my opinion but the "user score" here is unrepresentative of the opinions of most folks I've talked to IN GAME

    From the campaign and multiplayer the best insight I can offer so far is that the SJW pandering "diverse" trailer shown earlier in the year is absolutely not reflective of how the game stands at the moment. It's enjoyable and from the content I have seen so far in this initial release, respectful of the reality of war.

    BFV paints a grim depiction of war, throwing you into enjoyable scenarios in war stories. Its derivative for sure, but still a decent way to spend a few hours.

    The changes to multiplayer are welcome with the game feeling different enough to BF1 to be worth a purchase. The map design is good with a couple of "best in series" additions and the game appears to be very well optimised - at least when running on my Ryzen / Vega combo.

    Overall it's the most enjoyable BF multiplayer experience I've had to date and the solo missions while not AAA are a nice inclusion.

    Estoy probando el juego gracias al origin acces premier desde el dia 8 y hare un analisis lo mas objetivo posible con todo lo que he visto en el juego hasta el dia de hoy a grandes rasgos

    PUNTOS POSITIVOS:

    -El juego es una maravilla audiovisual, es un 10 en toda regla, porfavor necesitas probar por ti mismo los graficos de este juego porque aunque te los describa por 20 horas no haria justicia a lo que yo veo en mi pantalla

    -jugabilidad: es parecida a la del Battlefield 3 y eso le encantara a todos los veteranos de la saga, es increible como te mueves, en jugabilidad tambien supera al battlefield 1 como tambien en graficos, porque aqui te sientes como una bala y en el 1 te sentias con el tiempo algo lento

    -contenido: el contenido es escaso en el lanzamiento? Si un poco, casi lo mismo que battlefield 1 en su salida, solo que con 2 mapas menos, vamos, que a battlefield 1 nadie le critico el contenido pero ahora al V asi, la diferencia radica en que todo el contenido a futuro sera gratuito, por lo tanto si tenemos en cuenta esto, esto lo hace un videojuego a largo plazo un servicio, una aventura que cualquier amante del genero FPS, deberia probar OBLIGATORIAMENTE,

    PUNTOS NEGATIVOS:
    -Poco contenido al inicio, lo mismo que en battlefield 1, pero si tienes el 1 sabras perfectamente que como esta el juego ahora duraria minimo 1 año entero, pero con el contenido gratis a futuro este juego pinta para 3 años

    -algunos reciclados de battlefield 1, son minimo pero existen y te lo dice alguien que lleva jugado 20 horas con 2 cuentas con origin acces premier,

    CONCLUSION:

    9/10, pero en marzo de 2019 sera un 10/10 con todo el contenido que se viene, esta opinion lo dice alguien que critico a mas no poder al battlefield 4 por su penoso lanzamiento, trate de ser lo mas objetivo que pude, un saludo¡¡¡

    The gunplay has been improved upon BF1, graphics are still gorgeous, sound design is A+,Singleplayer is whack, but who plays the SP anyways. Don't listen to Hurensöhne talking about SJWs ruining the game, as what the soldiers genitals are is in no way important to gameplay.

    The best since BF3. Huge improvement over Battlefield 1 which is rage inducing. This is back to being more strategic and squad based, needs UI improvements but that is coming.

    Almost all of the negative reviews on here are just people hating the game because of the original issues when it was announced.

    Fact is, their first trailer and responses kinda sucked, but over the past couple of months they've taken a complete change of direction. The Devs are very vocal and honest, providing masses and masses of information every day about what's going on behind
    Almost all of the negative reviews on here are just people hating the game because of the original issues when it was announced.

    Fact is, their first trailer and responses kinda sucked, but over the past couple of months they've taken a complete change of direction.

    The Devs are very vocal and honest, providing masses and masses of information every day about what's going on behind the scenes and what their plans are. They've taken on loads of feedback from the community and not only said they would react to it, but have ACTUALLY reacted to it and in most cases if they didn't, they've given reasons why. I absolutely love this new approach DICE have taken.

    Also, at no point have they said this is historically accurate. In fact when it was announced, Lars said "OUR take on WW2". Just like when a new Spider-man movie comes out, it's a new take on Peter Parker's story.

    As for the game itself;
    - Gunplay is amazing. There's some balancing issues sure but the feel of the weapons is great. You can learn a weapon now. Learn it's behaviour and recoil patterns. Rather than it be completely random as it was in previous games.

    - Level design is great. They look so nice and coupled with the Fortification system can provide some great experiences. I do hate Narvik but that's only because I've played it to death and I'm bad at it. Other maps are on point

    - Menus. I'm confused as to why they've chosen this UX in the menus. It doesn't fit the game. So many clicks just to do simple actions is not a good User Experience. Some of this they are working to fix for us but I can't imagine it drastically changing. Saying that, they've done it before...

    - Gadgets etc. A lot of the gadgets have had good changes applied. Medics no longer have to spec the syringe to be able to revive. My only wish is that there were some stats for some of the gadgets such as damage etc for the RPGs

    - Vehicles. They often feel weak but also insanely strong at the same time. Couple of times I've been in tanks that have taken 2 RPGs to be destroyed, and I've done similar to tanks myself. Other times I can pile on 2 TNT and an RPG at the back and the tank just drives off without a problem. Bombers are also insanely OP with AA being absolute garbage. They also start the round before infantry for some reason meaning that you often get a mass killing by carpet bombs at the start of the round.

    - Story. When you boot the game for the first time you're put in to a kind of prelude that you have to play. That annoys me, but it's so frickin' epic that it gave me actual goosebumps. I've played one War Story so far and it was much of the same feeling. AI is quite annoying though as sometimes you can fool them and flank around while they search where you used to be, but other times they're tracking you like AI of the early 2000s.

    - Content. I think there's enough maps and weapons etc for now. I don't want it littering like it was in BF1. However I feel like a lot of the content has been held back for whatever reason. Part of me thinks that it's because it still need more work, or it's being reworked based on feedback, but part of me thinks it's to make it appear like more content is being drip fed to us for free at regular intervals.

    - Special Assignments. These make sense to me now, but it took a while to understand wtf was going on and how I unlocked more. I guess it was my fault for scan reading but it should have been more obvious for sure. Also not being able to change them without leaving the server is damn annoying.

    Overall it's an amazing game. Lots of changes that we've needed for years both in gameplay and in communications from DICE. It feels like EA have finally told DICE to do what they need to do rather than getting involved

    Also, there are no "Microtransactions". These people are just sad lonely internet trolls. There's a section where you can buy some basic skins with GAME CURRENCY. Which is easy to earn just by playing. In the future there will be an option to buy cosmetics with real world money but they'll all have the ability to buy with the game currency too.

    Some BF2 vets are going even further and saying it's the most classic-styled since the refractor era games, with the slower ticket bleed etc.

    (Subjective!) It feels and looks more stunning than ever, but offers much more enjoyable gunplay and less 'distractions' (Behemoths, etc.) from objective focused play.

    Many of the overly negative reviews in this thread seem to be focused on supposed microtransactions (couldn't find any in 20h of playtime) and the fact that Battlefield V introduced the option of playing as a female character into the series.
    The latter is simply personal preference and can obviously be changed very easily, if one wishes to do so.
    Most criticism regarding this change is outrage over adding something that is optional, not mandatory and doesn't change the game in any meaningful way.

    In the end Battlefield V is a very good step into the right direction, with focus on gunplay, objectives and the overall feel a Battlefield game used to have.

    Overall a great game, but weapon balancing needs some more time and the storytelling could be improved – but I'm talking about a multiplayer focused title pre-launch, so…

    Is the game a reskinned Battlefield 1? Certainly not. While some features and mechanics feel similar, it shouldn't surprise anyone, it's a Battlefield game after all. So far we don't know exactly what kind of monetization plans EA has, so it's impossible to actually judge those. From what we know so far, they plan to charge for cosmetic items (you can customize helmets, chests, and legs, in addition to several weapon parts). So far there's no season pass or "battle pass" or anything like that. You buy the base game and you get everything. Deluxe Edition extras are mostly cosmetic alterations/retextures.

    So far the weapon selection is smaller compared to previous game, but you can basically pick 4 modifications per weapon modifying them in some way (changing magazine sizes, precision, bullet physics, etc.). In some way it's a bit like BF1's weapon variations, although more diverse and flexible.

    The selection of vehicles is also still quite limited, although it feels as diverse as it's been in previous titles. You got to pick light, medium, and heavy tanks, air superiority fighters, ground attack planes, and bombers.

    Singleplayer is nice to play through, although the stories feel weaker than those in BF1 and it's mostly around getting to objectives and stealth gameplay. I would have wished more in the style of BF1's Through Mud and Blood.

    Performance wise, the game has nothing to hide. With latest Nvidia drivers I'm getting butter smooth 60fps on a 4 year old i7 4770k with a GTX 1080 (non-Ti) and 16GB RAM. Loading times are ridiculously short (5-10 seconds), except when going back to the main menu.

    Ah, and yes, two last but important points:

    Run and gun is mostly dead, you have to play more careful and work as a squad/team. This doesn't mean you're forced into camping, but you can't just run through a street melting everyone, no matter whether you're on foot or in a tank.

    Yes, the game allows you to play female characters in multiplayer, but it's overall rather decent and at some distance impossible to tell them apart. Also customization is rather decent and kept faithful to the time period the game is set in.

    Overall I'm enjoying the game tremendously, if you're on the fence, get Origin Access – risk that few bucks – and give it a spin. Totally worth it. And let's be real. If you just want the campaign (can entertain you for a few days if you want to master everything on Hardcore difficulty) and maybe dab into multiplayer, 15 bucks is an absolutely good deal for renting the game for a month.

    A very good Battlefield game at its core. Huge improvements over BF1. Random bullet deviation gone, Fortification system, Squad revives etc. are all playing weirdly well into each other and create a very nice Multiplayer experience. Sure there are a few bugs on release, but they will get ironed out and with new content it could very well be a 10/10. But 9/10 for now for me.

    This review is based solely on the Multiplayer and not the SP. I would have given the multiplayer a 10 but in case the SP is total garbage I'll slap on a 9. As the Singleplayer is not the driving force of the game.

    Battlefield 5 is absolutely fantastic. I've played 7 or the 8 maps on conquest and 2 full rounds of Operations and I can firmly say I'll be playing this game for a few years.

Strong modes, strong maps, well balanced classes and greatly improved gunplay make multiplayer feel fair and skill-based. The reduced time to kill is unforgiving but it works both ways.

    Performance has been smooth as butter on my original XBox One. In my opinion it looks better with all the post-production effects turned off, but either way it's a great looking game. That said, it's necessary to tweak brightness settings etc to ensure you can see enemies, who are occasionally hard to pick out.

    Maps are varied, well balanced, with good verticality as well as lots to interact with and destroy, creating the usual BF emergent experiences. So far, more so than I experienced in BF1 and BF4.

    New game modes have played well. Grand Operations takes place over several in-game days and mixes modes and maps, with a loose narrative intended to tie them together. The mix and match approach will appeal to some more than others but it's a good way to force variety. I wish they'd kept Rush but there's more than enough to compensate.

    Classes have been mixed up a bit with Recon feeling more PTFO focussed, Assault having been given SLRs and Medics SMGs. No fundamental changes to previous Battlefields with similar gadgets and tasks but much better gunplay. Weapon progression is tree-based, you have to choose which direction you want to specialise your weapon in and a step in one direction limits options in another.

    Vehicles feel much better balanced than in BF1 but I main infantry so don't have much authority to comment. The gunner role in tanks is much more viable than it was in BF1, feeling more like Bf4.

    If you're shot at you die quickly and this can be frustrating. But it forces consideration and encourages cooperation. You'll need to be willing to adapt to the implications of that; especially as the health and revive mechanics have been revised to contribute to attrition -- you don't regenerate to full health but can carry one med pack to do that for you, squad mates can revive each other but not to full health and very slowly, medics can revive fully and quickly whilst leaving you with a med pack.

    A few bugs with games not ending when the timer ticks to zero, menus not closing and revives not working. Annoying, fixable, not gamebreaking.

    Some pre-launch controversy emerged around changes to the attrition system, the introduction of women characters and a cosmetics microtransaction market. Make of that what you will but it seems to have encouraged negative reviews regardless of the quality of the game. That said, attrition is new but not bad, female characters have no impact on gameplay and it looks like microtransactions/skins will only be relevant to people who care about cosmetics; nothing I've seen there impacts core gameplay either.

    The menu UI is clunky and a bit baffling but it's Battlefield and I expected that. Overall this is a fantastic game with a lot of potential. If the pre-launch controversies are put to one side, there's no reason this game isn't a 9/10 title. It loses one mark for the occasional (definitely patchable) launch bugs.

    4) Самый главное за что снял, балан оружия. Он больше под приставку. Берем винтовку, шутрмовику и все вы имеете мощное орудие на дальность (уступаете только снайперу) и за того что на PC быстро стреляешь и целишься, то и в ближнем бою король (либо мне такие нубы попадались, хотя я сам не крутой)
    Плюсы.
    1) Изменили механику стрельбы, она по мне стала круче.
    2) Специализация бойца и навыки оружия позволяет сделать бойца, который вам нужен. Настроить разные оружие под разные тактики.
    3) Бабы в игре +- минус в том, что визуально не отличить, а голос сильно противный. А в целом норм. Хотел женщину бойца делай, не хочешь не делай. В игре все равно не видно кого убиваешь.
    4) Команда, теперь это реальная грозная 4-ка, которая представляет из себя очень очень опасное звено, особенно если играть командно, это вытекает необходимость и за измененной механики.
    5) Механику изменили, играки на PC на приставках в BF было по приятнее играть. Теперь на много больше людей старается выполнить цель, а не сидеть как горные бараны со снайперок. а вторые с минометом под горой. Или на технике в конце карты. Игра стала более активной, динамичной (просто раньше все сидели на горе, и только половина, пытались выполнить цель 2-ая половина горные козлы). Все бегают, строят, выполняют то что надо.
    6) Строительство это круто.
    7) подтянули значительно кастомизацию

I would like to call it a sacrifice for a better story. But still not to the point I wanna spend 59 pund's for it.

    So after what I started this review with and the base of my score you would probably be like what the hell is this guy smoking? Well yeah, I do find the stories a bit short for their price, but after playing them I feel like I was there when it happened. And not many games have given me THAT feeling. And personally I REALLY like story modes with a solid story and have that ability to make a man really feel what the character feels, And so far BFV have hit me right in my hearth.

    The stories are uniqe and really satisfied with a good war time soldier humor to a more serious arguing and the crying from fear of the death itself. It brings all this feeling into perspective that made this like a Christopher Nolan's movie Dunkirk to a cinematic experiance you can interact with yourself. And I have never had this much emotion going through a videogame single player mode before. So from people blaming to DICE about a short story, I love that they perfected them instead of beeing a long one without the same quality.

    Even if I spent 59£ on this, after all theese emotions and dedication, I feel it is well worth this. And even better if they come with more war stories throughout the game.

    Thank you DICE, for bringing Stories from WW2 to my PC which I can interact to with passion.

    Stop trying to decrease a player base in the game in which most people will enjoy and if they listen to you idiots out there, they may not have the pleasant experience of being involved.
    That said....
    The game is great and the best in the franchise to date IMO. Played BF3, BF4, BF1, FYI.
    The gun play is skill based and feels right straight up, more so than in the previous title BF1 and I imagine this is the major cause of the salt.
    The team revive is a great addition and feels great playing with your squad mates as they tend to stick together more in this title. PTO is more important in this title because winning objectives is the main source of ammo and heals.
    The removal of the old spotting mechanic creates more game play options. This removes the snipers on the edge of the map spamming 'Q' to spot there next player. It stops just shooting at the red donuts on the screen which took the emersion away in the later titles. But there are some players that like shooting at red donuts.
    This player is the player that gets salty when there play style might need to change for the new title. This is the player that reviews the game a "0" after they play the game for one match and get there arse handed to them. This is the player who checks there K/D ratio after every game.
    This is the player that quits if the team might lose or changes sides as there squads back capping F.
    THIS IS THE PLAYER THAT WE DON'T WHAT TO PLAY WITH! THIS IS THE PLAYER THAT SHOULD NOT REVIEW GAMES! THIS IS THE PLAYER WITH A HIGH XP THAT RUNS AROUND LIKE A HEADLESS CHICKEN WHEN YOU GET TO CLOSE!
    That said the single player game is poor and to be honest single player AI in FPS hasn't got any better in any single player FPS in the past 10 years. So the attention has been placed on the multiplayer game which is why we play the game. Map balance will improve over time but is pretty good so far.
    That's my 2 cents anyway, wow that was a rant really. Peace out man.

    First things first - what's that here, a poor version of reddit?! In my opinion, every "review" with the words or the meaning "this game is crap because it's crap/unplayable!" needs a report, maybe same with reviews like only "Awesome!".
    This are reviews of crying babies and hypers. A zero rating is a disgrace and even a bigger one of a long-time Battlefield player...

    Please don't come with the political correctness.., don't pull out the "weaponskin-card"... and finally, PLEASE do NOT come around with historical facts (and maybe you are happier next time, if you could play children insted of women..)! Thanks!
    Yes, i like to play male ww-soldiers, so i do. Some weapons are nice with other skins, others i like to play pure - yes you CAN! And who tell you that BF was, is or would ever be a game wants to tell you the real history of world wars? It's a GAME that uses different settings to create "good" immersions while having fun playing and tactical teamplay.

    I think BFV is excatly what it wants to be, without really big disappointments. Maybe you could say something about the single player (definitely 2 points deduction in the B grade), but come on... Please grab the first stone, if you buy BF because single player is the interesting part of the game.
    So now we have an real good BF from the start, with minor Bugs that should be solved (that's called patching - just sayin).

    I have played the early BFs till Bad Company 2, after this one the next BF catched me was BF1, because i liked the setting, but the bad game mechanics made it a runaway.

    After actual playtime in BFV till now, i like the additions of the old and the new BF-times, to get current game mechanics, graphics und gameplay in this good old setting. Good squad plays, a smart understanding of the playmodes, new game mechanics and dependencies of support (like tanks infantry) is the key to master.
    And this is why BFV is not a Call of Duty! Most people who die the fast way, think it's fast and casual and they have to play like that - you don't!

    Final words: Learn how to play smart and it would be awesome (even without good squadmembers, you could be the one!). BFV sets a good new standard and in my opinion it's well balanced (patches will come, and i hope they get the wright fixes). Some negative reviews are full of wrong "facts", which makes me sad and tired of correcting them. So I hope that the true reviews of Battlefield V will be available on the userside soon, because right now it's a joke.

    9 out of 10 - For the unconvincing single player and the often-known initial bugs of actual games.

    Battlefield V is a great game, both on it's own and as part of the larger franchise. I have played every Battlefield game since Battlefield 1942.

    The new frostbite engine is absolutely stunning. Every session I notice new physics interactions; most recently I was amazed when a nearby explosion causes the packed snow to slide off the top of a house on one of the snowy maps. One of the - if not the - most beautiful games I have ever played, and it seems to be very well optimized.

    I do wish we had some larger maps with more vehicles scattered about. I miss that about the old-school battlefield games. I'm willing to give that up for immersion of the frostbite engine.

    The whiners that think this game would be made realistic by removing female avatars fail to recognize that this is a videogame and not a history lesson. If women (or men) want to play this game as female characters they should be able to. If you want to play a historically accurate WW2 shooter go play Red Orchestra.

    I will start by saying that i have played most of the games in the Battlefield series except for BF2142, console exclusives and BF Hardline(yet).

    I will try to keep it as simple as possible.
    Gamemodes: So far my favorite gamemode is Breakthrough over the traditional Conquest, unlike conquest Breakthrough is mode based on teamwork and "playing the game", and you actually get to appreciate the map, breakthrough start by fighting sectors of the map represented by 1 or 2 capture points, If youre on the offensive side you only have 200 tickets to capture the sector while defenders just have to hold the sector for certain time and they also have unlimited lives, in some maps during the first phase the attackers can bring tanks which you have to use wisely because as you keep capturing sectors the enemy is going to be able to spawn tanks too, this battles can last around 30-40 minutes and like in all of the Battlefield games this is going to be good as long as your squad is working together.

    Classes
    The assault class is the spearhead of any squad, they either carry Assault rifles or Semi Automatic rifles they are also the ones who are better equipped to fight tanks or fortified positions with dynamite and other anti tank weapons.

    The medics class needs no explanation, they are in charge of healing and reviving the team and they are armed with Sub machine guns, they also carry a useful smoke grenade rifle to cover your advance or retreat.

    The support class is the one who provides you with ammo, it also fortify the objectives and repair tanks, its better suited to hold the objective and provide suppressive fire, they carry Light machine guns, Medium machine guns and Shotguns in case you like to get closer to the action, they carry anti tank mines which can be really useful while defending the objectives.

    The scout class is no brainer, they are responsible for spotting enemies and taking them from afar, they are equipped with the traditional Bolt action rifles and Self loading rifles who have a better rate of fire, you can also use a flare gun to detect enemies within a certain range.

    Weapons
    Some people said that there isn't enough weapons, its a "valid" point but this isnt going to be a big deal for most of the people.

    Other Details
    I think the increased damage(TTK) is a good thing, this isnt a futuristic shooter like halo or crysis where you could survive 15-20 high caliber bullets, the game needs more tanks and they need to be harder to upgrade, same with planes, i see no reason to have 4 planes with 2 variants each.

    I know that my "review" is going to be overlooked by those who are reviewbombing the game and i think it is really bad from Metacritic to not have some sort of control from who can review the games

    And so on...

    I'll be playing female characters exclusively, perhaps these "history buffs" will rage quit at my very presence.

    Now that we have that out of the way, on to the review.

    BF V is on balance a very solid, well polished, well executed and fun game that does suffer from the occasional glitch but nothing that ruins the game. It loses a point for those glitches.
    Graphically glorious, it's quite resource intensive - even on higher spec machines, it's taxing on the CPU (my 6600K at 4.3 ghz is running 100% on all cores, to feed the 1080ti at 2560×1440 but it does achieve a very nice 60-144fps) .

    The gameplay is the most enjoyable BF experience I've had by far - I never enjoyed the old BF1 multiplayer. In BF V, it's brilliant fun. Playing tactically pays off.

    There are no micro transactions or other exploitation mechanics.

BFV has wonderful gameplay, beautiful graphics, and extreme attention to detail. I must admit, I was at first reluctant to make the purchase of BFV with all the negative reviews but after the first major patch and huge discount, I felt there wasn't much to lose (but $40). I am SO HAPPY I purchased this game. Even the single player is very well done; great story, interesting character development and cinematic, and a lot of fun to play.

    For all of those out there complaining about this game, I can't help but wonder if they have given it a fair shake. I also feel that many of us in the gaming community have become spoiled children demanding everything and not giving the developers their fair recognition and praise. Sure, EA (and other publishers) pushes developers to pump out games at an unrealistic rate, but the devs still work hard to bring us these games to enjoy. Certainly there are some developers and publishers that pump out games for cash grabs, but this isn't the case here!

    If you are still on the fence whether or not to purchase this game, I say GO FOR IT! You will not be disappointed. Besides, you know Dice will continue to improve upon this game with additional DLC and enhancements. Put aside the politics and enjoy the game for what it is; a magnificent fps with great graphics, excellent multiplayer squad based tactics, superior gameplay, and fun to be had!

    This is a true Battlefield game with many "only in battlefield" moments in it. I'm seriously didn't enjoyed a BF title this much since BF3, and i'm played them all. This game has tactical infantry and vehicle gameplay, the fortification system is a true masterpiece, you can easily put up new defense line for yourself -after the buildings get leveled- making it easier -or even just possible- to defend again and angain. The gunplay feels good and the maps are good. It just feels good to play.

    There are some bugs, some serious even and i think it's still not acceptable to ship a tripe A game in this state even if we slowly get used to it, that the betas are demos for you to hook you up and the first 1-2 months are the real betatest with live servers. More and more game companies do this but it's still not okay and never will be.

    All in all, i am currently enjoying this new chapter of the Battlefield series, and hoping for quick fixes and good content being delivered after release. The devs seems to willing to do this.

    And thankfully the campaign here is beautiful.. so much attention to detail here… and a nice varity when it comes to the levels as you go across 5 different war stories… all with different languages.. so sadly if youre like me and hate subtitles.. you don’t relaly have a choice here if you want to know whats going on… I love that battlefield 5 at least tried to deliver a unique experience in each of the 5 stories.. but not nearly as much as battlefield 1… all 5 stories stuck out here.. but mostly for its setting aside for a snow level whee you get to travers with skiis, really having me wishing for a first person ssx game… but in terms of level design overall, all 5 chapters felt pretty identical, same objective, different location.. g oacross this open map, make stuff explode, rinse repeat with some cutscenes in between… I feel like dice needs to really take note from the call of duty team with their recent emphasis on variety throughout their campaigns… at times battlefield 5 does feel like its delivering mini first person shooter games inside one world… but most of the time, it all feels too familiar, having you wanting it to just be over alredy, rather thaan feeling like wow, what an amazing 5 stories like they did last time..
    Overall im kind of over battlefield multiplayer, but as far as its singplayer goes, I really hope dice hone in on this, and delivers us more fleshed out mini stories, that don’t feel so copy and paste when it comes to objectives and delivery. I feel like this could help with the constant immersion breaking return to combat area countdown . its fine every once in a while, but constantly being told to get back in a quote unquote open world setting, just shows a lack of care when it comes to designing your experience.. it feels like a bandaid forcing you to be in the spot the game wants you to be in, rather design doing its job of keeping you there.
    I havnt given up on this series yet, and at least for its war stories, Ill have a reason to keep coming back.
    I give Battlefield 5
    a 7.5/10

    Aside from that the changes made to the game in the form of attrition and movement mechanics, do cause a shift from your old habits. It hasn't been so important to play with your squad in years, that has upsides and downsides. If the squad is responsive and fairly decent players, it's a blast and immense fun. If the squad isn't however, the experience can be a bit frustrating as you play not only against your opponents in this case.

    Gun play is great, with the downside of all weapons being a bit too automated. I do miss the majority bold action rifles from old games. Vehicle play is great. It's really tough to find faults in the core gameplay of the game.

    The single player however is insultingly short. I greatly enjoyed playing through the BF1 SP which was super short as well but this one left me with a bad taste of "COME ON! Where is the rest?" otherwise the stories are mostly forgettable.

    As a summary: If you liked old Battlefields, there is a lot to like here too and i strongly recommend. If you didn't however and prefer a more casual shooter, this BF will not be for you.

    + More squad-focused gameplay is good.
    + Some innovation with fortification building
    + The weapon specialization trees are actually a good way to customize the guns to your playstyle.

    - The content feels a bit light, with only 8 maps, and some short War Stories. Although they will add to the game later on for free.
    - A lot of the multiplayer maps are too infantry focused an miss that "Battlefield" feeling: Devastation, Rotterdam, Fjell, Narvik: All pretty small and vehicles don't play a significant role.
    - Lacks the iconic WW2 battles (Stalingrad, D-day, Operation Market Garden, Battle of the Bulge, Iwo Jima, etc.). Feels much less like WW2 than even the original BF1942.
    - The grand operations mode is disappointing: not as good as Operations in BF1
    - Chaotic interface with a lot of visual clutter
    - Too much cosmetic B/S for the guns etc.

    All in all I have had a lot of fun with this game so far, 20 hours in. But they will need to add some more content and maps soon, or it will start to feel old really quickly.

Now, after seeing how they've implemented it, I am not bothered. I just ignore it, they've done it discretely.
    The game itself feels like a classic battlefield. They've done some good adjustments from BF1 (I've played BF since the first when I was but a child), and I'm sure they will continually listen to feedback and do adjustments as deemed nesessary. The gameplay feels good, the graphics are great (running on a 1080gtx), the vehicles are spot on..

    As a battlefield fan and veteran, and lover of ww2 history, I give this game an 8/10. If you like BF and WW2, and have some money to spare, and an ok+ gaming pc, I'd give this a shot. If you have a **** computer, and don't have much money at the moment, I would recommend you pass (until the price drops in some months).

    Cheers /Anders

    But with a great looking game, comes very strict hardware requirements, you will not be able to play this game without good PC specs, make sure you meet the recommended requirements for the best experience.

    Squad play is now a necessity for a team to succeed, you can no longer go full on solo Rambo around the map like in the previous titles, it requires more skill, tactics and coordination to out do your opponents. A squad that plays well allows a squad leader to request more vehicles, a supply drop or if the squad achieves enough points the deadly V1 Rocket!

    The addition of building is a welcome one, never thought about it before but it works so well and cleanly allowing you to block off entrances and better protect objectives.

    The single player is short, shows off how impressive this game looks and is a good introduction for players into the battlefield series. completing it and earning the collectibles earns you skins for your multiplayer weapons. Sadly it is not as historically accurate as it should be and is a lot more fantasized like with most WW2 games.

    For now there are some improvements which would push my review up to a 10:
    -more game mode variety (Conquest and infantry focus game modes are great, grand operations is not as good in its current state as BF1's due to there only being 2 different operations)
    -female death screams are much more noticeable than males, tone them down a bit
    -Dragging downed soldier to safety mechanic added to game

    As of this review being written there are currently NO micro transactions, it is clear most of the user reviews for this game, haven't purchased it and tried it out as they would know this, currently the only way to earn in game currency is through levelling up and completing assignments.

    To address the addition of females in WW2, my only gripe is how piercing screams are for them, they stand out in a fight. Despite them being noticeable in multiplayer i remain immersed, you feel that the person that just got shot is generally screaming for their life.

    So to conclude, the game looks great, weapon handling is amazing, the sounds are immersing. Its a great all rounder. If you want a more challenging, realistic shooter than BF1, this is for you, the only thing that will make this game even better is the content to come over the next few years.

    There are still some glitches (like getting stuck in the environment) and balance issues (AT rockets too strong against tanks) but nothing major. It has a fair business model: no premium pass and you can unlock everything (including cosmetics) through playing the game and it doesn't look very grindy.

    I'll give it a 9/10 if they fix the bugs and 10/10 if the single player is really good. The latter is very unlikely tbh but what we have got here is an amazing Battlefield game.

    First and foremost a multiplayer game. So I haven't bothered with the single player yet. The multiplayer maps are spectacular. Balance is pretty good. Gameplay aimed at team/squad-play, which is what I want in a Battlefield. This is not a CoD run&gun. Few glitches/bugs here and there, but it's inevitable in such a big game. I love it.

Now, after about 2.5 months and 100 hours sunk into this thing, I've come here to cut the developers some slack. I will speak really just about the multiplayer because the SP campaign is obviously not the core thing in this game.

    Also, the historical element is only incidental. The sooner you accept that this is a shooter with WWII props and not a historical game, the more fun you're going to have. You'll be playing British soldiers in made-up grey uniforms with gas masks wielding a German STG 44... with a f-ing collimator.

    Gameplay - this is really what the game is about.
    After the illogical experiment with higher TTK, which went terribly wrong, and seemingly fixed netcode issues (the infamous one-frame death), I think the gameplay has really reached its sweet spot. Combat seems difficult, fair and incredibly fun. Medic class is still a pain to play on open maps although the SMGs have been buffed somewhat. New ZK 383, which medic received in the latest tide of war, is a blast and almost able to compete with assault weapons.
    The visibility is still poor (realistic?) and the non-existence of the 3d spotting makes the game even more challenging. Good speakers/headphones should help a lot to identify enemies. The team play is sometimes still terrible with people playing out of their roles or driving a tank in the water in Rotterdam, but you can still get into some pretty good matches.
    The variety of modes is great with a bit of everything for all tastes. Personally, I play the frontlines or breakthrough the most.

    Content: I would appreciate a bit more maps for certain modes, but the current number is still good to keep me engaged (the Pacific, or Russia would be cool in the future). The devs add a couple of new weapons every now and then, which is nice.
    The customisability of primary weapons is not well thought through imho, you can't customise secondary weapons and the number of gadgets is not that great either.

    Graphics are still stunning, but you would need at least 12gb ram to run the game (I learned this the hard way and experienced unpredictable stuttering while playing with only 8gigs and GTX 1060).

    Bugs: they're everywhere, get used to it. The most annoying thing at the moment is that some players cannot see their avatar when they select the uniform. Which is even more annoying that the choice of your clothes has a huge impact on visibility. Another bug bug that's ruining the gameplay for me a bit is being constantly (and rather unpredictably) stuck on geometry. You learn quite quickly that trying to leap over a hedge or a rock is a tricky thing to do in a gunfight.

    To conclude, the game is really fun at its core, if you accept there is a learning curve. DICE has made several blunders while releasing and maintaining the game (miscommunication, insulting the community, acting like this was a historical game, releasing the game with bugs that were not present in the previous titles, TTK experiment etc.), but did it ultimately ruin my gaming experience? No.

    Oh yeah, one last thing. Remember the invisible flying Chinese cheater in BF IV? We're probably going to get them in BF V at some point as well ;)

    Review Context: writing this simply because I enjoyed the game and clearly a lot of the negative reviews have been written by people who HAVE NOT played the game at all and are simply discrediting the game as 'SJW trash.'

    I began playing the Battlefield Series with BF1942 with my favourite installment being BF2. The last BF game I played before BF5 was BF3.

    What I can say is that if you liked BFBC2 or BF3 and you enjoy the WW2 setting, you will like BF5. There are NO MICRO-TRANSACTIONS OR IN-GAME TRANSACTIONS. There is an in game currency but as far as I can tell there is no way to buy it, you can ONLY EARN IT by playing the game and completing dailies or assignments.

    3D spotting has been removed which is a positive in my opinion, now only certain classes can spot exactly where an enemy is, otherwise you can only mark a position on a map as having 'enemy activity.'

    There probably are a few too many bugs or glitches, but I believe they will be fixed as DICE/EA finally seemed determined and interested in clearing their reputations up and delivering BF5 as a on-going experience with all future game content being released for free for everyone forever. What more can you ask for?

    The menu system is a bit counter-intuitive and hopefully will be improved, but once in game on the battlefield it is a fun time with the gameplay, as I suggested earlier, being reminiscent of BFBC2/BF3 but in WW2 and without 3D spotting.

    The Medic is not redundant as some people have suggested, simply squad-mates can revive one another now but it takes 5 seconds to revive as opposed to the Medics' 2 second revive. Plus Medics can revive all teammates while non-Medics can only revive their squad-mates.

    They've introduced squad leader abilities, which are usually tiered into a supply drop > light vehicle call in > heavy vehicle call in > rocket strike which is very similar to the commanders abilities in BF2.

    Vehicle and weapon balance could always use a bit of work but ultimately if you're a fan of the BF series and you weren't a fan of BF4/Hardlines/BF1, you should try BF5 as it seems to take the game back to its roots a little more than some of the newer games.

    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.
