    This Game plays like a Watersoker battle.

    It´s like 100% Battlefront 2 (the bad one, not the good one) but with a re skin.

    Leaving aside the many questionable narrative decisions made in this game, there is a much bigger problem. Battlefield V on PC is a raging dumpster fire of bugs and poor optimization.

    I've played most of the BF games; they have all struggled with quality, but this thing is on a whole other level. We are more than 2 months past release day, and the game still won't even start reliably. Origin, which is easily the worst launcher/DRM client in the industry, may be the culprit, but what difference does it make? Origin has, somehow, gotten incrementally worse over time. It feels like a homebrew java app now, and runs worse.

    If you can properly align your decoder ring long enough get BFV running, it's an uninspired, paint-by-numbers WWII shooter. In other words, it's boring.

    EA has taken some undeserved flak over the years. They've earned a ton, too, but some was just a pile-on.

    They deserve every ounce of it for this game. BFV is a low point for a publisher who has had too many of them in recent years.    … Expand

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 ;)    … Expand

    Even after the PR disaster reveal trailer that EA and DICE released to introduce the world to Battlefield V, I still defended the game with a hopeful optimism that this will be an amazing continuation of the narrative style they established in Battlefield 1.

    The game had a semi-stable release (compared to BF4 PC) and was actually very fun despite the game-breaking bugs that plague the experience. Patch after patch DICE releases "new content" and "bug fixes" (which essentially re-break the game to a state worse than before) through their live service, Tides of War. This is where I see the main issue is. On paper, I can see how Tides of War can be a very immersive experience; DICE wants to bring the players along a narrative journey throughout World War II as they release new maps and content to encapsulate the attention of players through the life cycle of the game. However, the execution of this live service system has been THE WORST I have ever seen from a Triple A Developer/Publisher (Not a surprise, its EA).

    At launch, there were eight maps with SIX game modes (3 of which are unpopular with the PC community) which resulted in a severe content drought and a loss of interest from many players. The game being in an almost pre-Alpha state did not help with its publicity either. Game-breaking bugs, rampant hacking, and the Deluxe Edition SCAM has tarnished the once highly acclaimed Battlefield franchise. There is a dire lack of communication and clarity from DICE to the community which becomes extremely frustrating when players want to know what they are promised in the Tides of War service after being extorted 60 dollars for a far-from-finished product. The most recent patch, as of the writing of this review, is Chapter 2: Lightning Strike which introduces many of the game-breaking bug fixes and "new content" (no new maps until March???). Once again, the bug fixes, while some did work to improve the experience, actually broke the game even more than before. This is absolutely ridiculous and SHAMEFUL that a Triple A company such as DICE, with some of the most prestigious developers of the industry, would dare release a product in such a dismal state. The content that players expected at the release of a new Chapter have either been pushed back or have a big fat SOON slapped onto it. ie Rush, Greece Campaign, Tank-Busting Vehicles, Combined Arms, Firestorm. Everything is just SOON and when the products come out they are either broken or completely below expectations.

    I genuinely wanted to like this game and support it in its entirety, but seeing the toxic practices of EA and the downward slope of the Battlefield franchise is extremely disheartening. The Battlefield V memes making fun of this game have been more well made and thought out than this dumpster fire. The hopeful optimism I had from the first time I have heard of Battlefield V is long gone and now I just dread where the rest of this game's life cycle as well as the future of Battlefield games are going. Aside from the amazing sound design and the slightly improved graphics compared to Battlefield 1, Battlefield V ultimately is a husk of what previous games in the franchise were. The game is simply unfinished, rushed, and obviously marketed to be a money-grab for those foolish enough to fall for their ploy. I completely regret my decision to purchase and support this game and I am ashamed to call myself a Battlefield fan. There is a lot of potential in this game that is overshadowed by greed and an effortless production for one of their main franchises.I don't know if EA will change their vile practices or better, if DICE will escape their grasp, but I really hope that the same mistakes they made in Battlefield V will not be reflected in future Battlefield games.    … Expand

    They have officially completely butchered the franchise, brand and WW2 era of gaming in this game.

    If you're thinking of getting it, imagine playing Battlefront 2 mixed with Call Of Duty. I say this for two reasons: 1. The guns are all laser accurate (which is fine) but they also have little to no recoil so expect unbelievably fast rate of play and 2. You're a ninja in this installment of BF and you can slide and ninja and parkour all around so expect even more extremely fast paced gameplay. Not only that, but the low plane ceiling and maps with sometimes 8 planes flying around expect basically constant bombing everywhere not in a WW2 air raid way, I mean in a randomized Nuke kinda way. It just makes no sense and it's not how any battles were fought.

    This is compounded by DICE's pretentious marketing about the game calling it authentic and immersive when really it's just a Transformers movie in clothing from the 40s.

    If you're looking for a game that is true to the WW2 era, has rewarding gun play, has any form of valuable combat tactics, has good plane combat or support, does not have COD-like combat, does justice to the BF franchise, DO NOT GET THIS GAME.

    I'm really do feel betrayed by DICE and will never be a true supporter of their company again. Feels like a breakup but it's gotta be done :(    … Expand

    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.

    So far the worst Battlefield I've ever played. Unnecessarily huge maps, very fast TTK, no spotting, annoying munitions, inaccurate shooting, no suppressive effect for snipers, only 64 players in conquest, dying behind walls, bugs and so on. It's no longer Battlefield, but corrupt COD. No more Battlefields. The best Battlefield was Bf3.

    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.
