    Pros
    - Great gunplay - so much fun to snipe, use the machine gun
    - Amazing maps - There's something for everyone - small maps, big maps, maps for planes, tanks, etc - Grand Operations is really fun - Game is very smooth for me. Graphics are some of the best for an FPS game. - Love the new mechanics they introduced - especially attrition. It forces you to stick with your squad and use    Pros

    - Few bugs here and there but the devs should sort that out soon    … Expand

    Battlefield 5 is my new Battlefield 3! Forget Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1! BF5 looks amazing, the gunplay is better and every match is exciting. All updates in the future are FREE. I recommend Battlefield 5 to Battlefield fans.

    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.

    I don't know why people are complaining about micro transactions here, there's no way to currently put more money into the game and DICE has said when they do you will only be able to purchase cosmetics that you can already buy with in-game currency. The game is pretty good, there are spots that aren't as polished as they should be but that's been the case with every Battlefield title.

As someone who has been playing these games since Battlefield 1942, this is a very strong entry that brings me back to that first title. I just hope they follow through with adding more factions via the Tides of War service.… Expand

    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.

    Я не знаю, что за люди которые пишут негативные отзывы. Батла 5 очень даже неплохой продукт. Да он чем то схож с бф1, но это ведь конвейер. Без совесткого союза очень как то играть неправильно.

    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.

    Combat is solid, graphics are beautiful, game mechanics are clean and clear, you will like this game if you like any of the previous battlefield titles multiplayer, including the modern day setting games.

    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.    … Expand

    Love the game and as a player since 1942, this feels like coming back to Battlefield. Still some bugs and the future is still unclear about what it will hold, but it is the most fun I have had in ages, so many "only in Battlefield" moments.

    They took everything from Battlefield 1 and made it better. Gunplay is maybe the best since BF3 and the graphics and animations like damaged planes are fantastic. With the addiction of all the future updates (gratis) this will be a masterpiece. Do not trust the reviews bombing.

    One of the best Battlefields IMO, Atleast since BF3 for me, As a medic player primarily, The changes to revives and health make the experience so much better, I've had so many great moments with random squads, Keeping them alive and taking points against many many more enemies, Single player is **** but whatever, The multiplayer is too good to not give out a 10

    **December 2019**
    They have implemented new TTK that is worse than the TTK changes they made in 2018 after they promised to never make changes to the TTK again. Whoever in management at DICE thinks it's okay to lie to players needs to get the boot. Do not touch this game with a ten foot pole.

    ** March 2019 **

    Well, I'm done. The new roadmap has proven they have little to no regard for the community. Adding hardcore to a coop mode before multiplayer is just insulting.

    **UPDATE**

    They've reverted all the terrible TTK changes, so I will revert my review change as well.

    On December 12th, 2018, they rolled out a TTK update, which essentially reverted all of the hard work the team did to improve gunplay. This update wasn't asked for, as TTK was one of the highlights of the game. I'm changing my score from 10 to 2 due to this atrocious and unwelcome change.

    ** ORIGINAL REVIEW**
    I've been a Battlefield veteran for a little under 10 years now, and Battlefield V is by far my favorite title in the series so far. I canceled my pre-order after the beta, but I decided to give it another shot as I love the series. DICE really took the constructive criticisms to heart. There are NO microtransactions in the game at launch, and when they arrive, they will be cosmetic only and no random boxes. All future content is free. The gunplay is comparable to BF3, which many people consider to have the best gunplay in the entire series. The character customization, while lacking an actual character creator, is in-depth enough for people who are into it yet not so in-depth that those who don't enjoy that aspect of a game won't find it tedious and distracting. The gameplay itself is fast paced and has a sense of urgency that I feel was missing from Battlefield 1. The weapon progression is fantastic, and the idea to have the starter weapons full upgraded on start prevents new players from being run over by veteran players (something that occurred in Battlefront 2). I was skeptical when I played the beta, like I'm sure many of you were, but rest assured, the final product is by far worth the money and a fantastic addition to the series. They took the better parts of the previous games, specifically regarding players' feedback, and created, in my personal opinion, one of the best FPS games in that last decade. If you are a fan of previous Battlefields and took a break due to the change BF1 saw in the series, I implore you to give Battlefield V a chance.    … Expand

    That isn´t what I expected, because the Maps are completely bad, the maps are boring, and much more worse than Battlefield 1´s Maps.
    All Vehicles are too bad, a tank should scare them, but in Battlefield 5 they think, hey walk to it throw one Grenade and get a easy kill.

    BUT, game play is trash, each gun now acts as sniper and so on. One of the biggest problems with matchmaking. As a noob-normal player, I always gets matched with a team full of pros. History is inaccurate as you can see on other comments. But the most important thing: This game is not fun.

    It’s far from being ideal but all the glitches and shortcomings don’t ruin the overall fun of Battlefield V’s multiplayer experience. Although the single player portion of the game is not bad at all, I would have been disappointed if I bought the game just for it. [13/2018, p.56]

    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.

    A great World War II shooter that will grow and improve. Do not buy the game because of its singleplayer, but if you consider the campaign a bonus to the multiplayer, you will be satisfied. [Issue#291]
