I only walk away more frustrated after playing and I wish I could have my wasted time back. I even paid for this... The only challenge here is not turning the game off. This game is so bad it almost gave me PTSD...… Expand

    Crap! I remember 4 and 1 part. The plot, the gameplay, everything is better than the fifth part. Here is my advice. To make a sequel to 4 part and that it should not be as **** as part 5!

How do they mess up sound after they had it dialed in so good in BF1? Player visibility is a huge issue and there is a ton of visual clutter on most maps to amplify the problem. Pronetard play is rewarded. Long range tank camping is rewarded. Plane vs. plane battle has no balance and the tail gunner spots are too weak to use. The censorship makes me want to abandon DICE and EA altogether. They dropped a deuce on their core fan-base.… Expand

    the Campaign is an insult and twisted what happen during WW2 for a more political correct view, which is disgusting. but i guess the Political correct people will approve, but i doubt they ever will play it lol.
    The game is riddle with bugs and issues that makes Battlefield 4 seems like a better release.

    so for me its 0 stars here.

    Update: after playing it again with a couple of friends its hasnt improved at all. still a sallow gameplay, and riddle with issues and gameplay mechanices :/

    Anything else about this game is just awful, from women screaming like pigs on farm, to terrible music that annoys you more than drives into battle. No footsteps, no spots, you basically have no info and have to camp or play with squad if you have one. Overall balance is lacking. Game is not polished yet. It's overall more grindey than it was in previous series. Marketing was total **** I played my first 2 hours ever (besides beta trial) and already ran into 2 hackers lmao.

    There are only two proper ways to play this game:
    1) try it with Origin Basic Access (yes they moved it there after 6 months of release...lol), it will be 7 days free trial, or like 4,99$/m
    2) buy it on really HUGE sale, like 70-80% one, and when it's polished and done

This game is NOT THAT. It's more akin to Call of Duty or Overwatch with vehicles. Long story short:
    " It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."

    (I thought I'd update my review 6 months in as a lot of things have changed, and even more things have not.)

    -War Stories (campaign) is still absolute garbage. Bad AI, bland missions, bad writing, just plain boring.

    -Combined Arms- possible one of the laziest game modes ever concocted by a AAA studio. basically coop missions with none of the good things from singleplayer and all of the bad things instead.

    -Firestorm- hit or miss for Battlefield fans. Very basic Battle Royal with vehicles. Low player count makes finding matches a pain and makes it absolutely impossible for players in Oceana/Australia. Despite a lot of the player base preferring Duos over squads and solo, DICE decided to remove Duos.

    -Multiplayer Game Modes- Conquest and Breakthrough are the only game modes worth a damn right now. BFV used to have other popular game modes like Frontlines, Grind, and Fortress, but they removed those as well. Grand Operations are not very "Grand" and feel more like a grab-bag match of different game modes where the outcome of previous round bears almost no impact on the upcoming round. Team Deathmatch is currently still present, but there is nothing special there either. Still no hardcore mode.

    -Maps- Out of the 8 launch maps, only 4 are fun to play. Several maps are not balanced for Conquest, so one team will have a much easier time capping and holding onto several of the flags. I can tell they tried to move away from the large sprawling battle META of previous Battlefields, for a much smaller and frenetic infantry based maps with vehicles added as more of an afterthought. The only map that seems to capture the Battlefield feeling of old is "Panzerstorm" (which coincidentally a lot of the brand new and casual run-and-gun FPS players hate).

    -Updates- piss poor amount of content for a major AAA "live service" title. Only games that are doing worse are Anthem and Fallout 76, and that's a low bar. 6 months in we have only 1 new map, a handful of new weapons, and skins (most of which are only purchasable with real money).

    -Cosmetics- laughable at best. Weapon camos are awful, Soldier cosmetics(that you can buy with CC) are dull and wildly inaccurate. Most of the new skins are purchasable only with Boins (premium currency). The person in charge of designing them must have a hard on for the absurd, because the elite skins are pretty awful and hearken to some Liberace WW2 steampunk fever dream. Company Coin has lost most of its use after the release of BOINS, due to this, the game economy is starting to skew towards premium currency. Also what's with all the goggles???

    -Balancing- Team balancer is MIA or just plain doesn't work. Dice is constantly nerfing weapons and vehicles until they're utterly useless or buffing them until that's all anybody uses. Game meta is trash and is more akin to Call of Duty than Battlefield. Anti-cheat is pretty bad too. Cheating is very rampant in Firestorm and VERY prevalent on Asia servers.

    -Bugs and performance issues are a constant problem. Whenever one bug is fixed, 2 more usually take its place. The game is also very poorly optimized. Don't expect 60 fps unless you have a monster rig or mess with a lot of the graphics settings.

    VERDICT: save your money. This game is obviously a cash grab. Incomplete at launch with promises of future content, BFV seems to be losing more than it's gaining. Play BF1 or BF4 if you want to have fun.    … Expand

And there's no news of adding anything new, initiative, or interesting. Whatever love that came with this game died at the door, and their only interest is to drag whatever money they can out of your wallet.

    The lag in this game is something else. And when I say lag, I mean the lag compensation from the game. If you're in cover? Guess what, you're out in the open on the enemy's screen, they will see you, and they will kill you.

    There's a setting that changes the foliage setting, which affects the render distance of said foliage. In a competitive game. In a shooter. With some maps that have up to 50% of nothing but corn fields. What are they thinking, truly?

    Some updates will reset your weapon loadouts. Some updates will introduce new bugs. But either way, enjoy the 40GB+ download. But hey, at least they managed to set up their in-game store correctly.

    Please, please take my advice. If you wish to waste your money, please spend it anywhere else than here. Anywhere else. Take someone out for a date. Throw the money into a toilet. I don't care.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I just played through BFV operation Nordlys, and it is a steaming pile of **** Firstly I fell down what looked like 50-75 meters and landed on solid ice, but that's okay because I'm wearing skis, which means that I can't take damage from falling. Then i try to stealthily complete the mission which went well until the game decided that this was not a stealth mission by announcing my presence through a cut scene.
    Then the game tells me to follow my mother which it forces me to do since i cant run, crouch or anything else to make it more immersive.
    I also have to destroy some power transformers or whatever, and these come with a self destruct lever, how user friendly. No TNT, no grenades nothing, just a lever.
    Then I get casually thrown of a bridge and it bruises my chin a little bit, what is this pile of garbage.

    The hypothermia system is also garbage. The devs have not put in the effort to make her clothes look wet after falling in the river, what is this?

    I do like the game but this mission has completely destroyed all immersion I might hope to have.

    In short - sjw is the smallest problem here. This game is bad - really. Lack of balance, ttk is a joke, lack of "battlefield moments", maps are **** (it is important to notice that low ttk + **** maps = **** experience), classes are so boring. This game is boring. At some point I thought that BF1 is boring, but BF5 is whole new level that I couldn't imagine before- It is really sad.

    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.
