    Plot - 1 (I am not a historian and not one of those who mock at those who do not know something from history, but everything has a limit, and this game ... its developers just spit in the face of such things as adequacy, logic and the history for the sake of the modern mainstreams and liberalism. Because of fear of them or the desire to earn money on them, it does not matter, this is rude and mean to the players and deserves a low rating as an answer).
    Overall this game is a normal "Hollywood action" with fantasy mindless plot, and nothing more.    … Expand

    Are you sure that you made the game, and not the clutter of graphics, code and sound? This is not a game, this is a mistake! Mistake #34601.

What disappointed me the most were the guns in the game. There are very few of them to begin with (one of my favorite bf game was bf4 that had almost 80 guns at launch, this game had like 30), and missing some of the most iconic WWII weapons. There's also very little customization---not for the benefit of realism, because in the game you can slap a nydar shotgun sight on almost every rifle or smg, like that was a normal thing back in the day. How about porting the barrel, tuning the recoil spring and bolt for faster or slower cyclic rate, trading rpm for recoil etc. People have been chopping barrels and stocks, attaching diy wooden foregrips, extended magazines or making semiauto handguns fully automatic since the great depression days, just look at John Dillenger's full auto 1911 in 38 super, it was criminally awesome. but none of these cool stuff was in a game that should have them for the sake of gameplay while maintaining realism. Instead they were just too busy putting micro transaction and cosmetics in the game like that could count towards having content.… Expand

    I just can not imagine how could they launch the game like this. It is starting to look better, but I would certainly wait for a few months because currently, it is a scam. The game does not worth more than $10-$20.

    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.

    This is not a good mission    … Expand

    Eu particularmente estou voltando do "Battlefield V" para o "Battlefield 1". E (mesmo que uns não gostem deles) eu citarei os motivos:

    Motivo 1 - Battlefield 5 com aviões dominantes: Dois times com aviões um ignorando o outro e usando o veículo com um único objetivo, o de tacar bomba na cabeça dos pelotões. Tem piloto saindo de rodada com 100-0 ou 150-0 em alguns mapas que permitem    Eu particularmente estou voltando do "Battlefield V" para o "Battlefield 1". E (mesmo que uns não gostem deles) eu citarei os motivos:

    Motivo 1 - Battlefield 5 com aviões dominantes: Dois times com aviões um ignorando o outro e usando o veículo com um único objetivo, o de tacar bomba na cabeça dos pelotões. Tem piloto saindo de rodada com 100-0 ou 150-0 em alguns mapas que permitem aviões bombardeiros. As "anti-aéreas" nem fazem cócegas neles e tem limite de distância, sendo que o avião pode facilmente se recuperar e se consertar no ar! Sem falar os clãs que estão marcando os pelotões com o avião, sinalizadores ficam mais altos e dificilmente são destruídos!

    Motivo 2 - O jogo tá lotado de trapaceiros, pessoas utilizando programinhas para facilitar o jogo. E são esses trapaceiros com "k/d" altos que são os mais cobiçados e se engajam para carregar outros jogadores em clãs. Infelizmente de cada 10 clãs eu reconheci uns 9 tem pelo menos 2-3 cara jogando com trapaça lá, ou mais! (Para seu time conseguir algum sucesso, é preciso pelo menos uns 10-20 jogadores "rushando" de uma vez o mapa todo e tomando todas as bandeiras. Pois nenhum trapaceiro nunca vai querer bater de frente com "5 ou mais" jogadores, e nem vai!

    Motivo 3 - Pontuação pelo conceituadíssimo "Open critic": Battlefield 1 (96%) / Battlefield V (74%).

    Motivo 4 - Estou ainda esperando uma atualização com a "FEB" e sua notável luta na "batalha de Monte Castello". O famoso "Dia D" americano na Normandia. E não esse compilado na ilha japonesa, a "batalha de Iwo Jima" (dos EUA contra o Japão.). Seria mais bonito se focassem nas batalhas principais, "Pearl Harbour" (poderia ter sido colocado no "modo história", no jogo.). Cadê a participação da Rússia também na guerra? Eles não poderiam inventar uma guerra entre Grã Bretanha e Alemanha com barcos, aviões e submarinos? Poderia! São tantas coisas que estão deixadas de lado para se criar um jogo sobre a famosa 2ª Guerra mundial.

    Motivo 5 - Esse pessoal (haters) que ficam ofendidinhos com tudo que postamos no fórum e vivem imitando gato roco, só "mimimi". Esses que vivem tomando toddynho dentro de clazinhos abarrotados de menininhos valentinhos e não fazem nada na vida, papai paga até mensalidade da escola e fala de boca cheia que é bom jogador. Eu até concordo! No caso daqueles que despendem o dia todo da vida sem fazer nenhuma coisa além de jogar o mesmo jogo o dia inteiro. (Prefiro bloquear e sequer leio a mensagem desse pessoal, sendo aqui no fórum ou até mesmo dentro do jogo.)

    Bom, enquanto sou eu que pago as minhas contas e não ofendi ninguém de tudo o que disse aqui no fórum além das crianças que se sentiram ofendidinhas porque fazem coisa errada no jogo só tenho uma coisa para dizer: Segundo o site PEGI (Pan European Game Information), o jogo "Battlefield V" é recomendado por nada menos que pessoas com 16 anos ou mais.

    Weapons like the MG42 did actual damage and was accurate (like its supposed to) while you were using a bipod.

    Now, a few upadates later, the game is completely ruined. Guns feel like peashooters. The damage is horrible and make the game unplayable for me. You can get killed while using an bipod on a LMG by a greasegun or sten from long distance while shooting your entire ammo at them. It makes no sense at all. Not only LMG's have this problem, Nearly every weapon that should do a fair amount of damage (like the STG for example) are wortheless.

    Until this is fixed and you don't need an entire magazine to kill someone, stay away from this game.    … Expand

    This is the worst Battlefield ever. Even Battlefield 2042 did it a lot better with adding 1942 classes, vehicles and maps. This game is a horrible and cheap attempt to copy Call of Duty while fulling it of SJW garbage propaganda. This is total unrespect for WWII veterans.

    I've been actually playing this game for some time now (12h) so I guess im way beyond "you have to feel the game" stage. I gotta say, it's one of the worst Battlefields released so far.

    If you listed 10 "Iconic WW2 things" about 3 of those would be in this multi-million dollar WW2 game. They wanted to "focus on the untold stories of ww2" and put a girl with a robot arm on the box cover. I've put about 80 hours into BF5 and I lost count of the hackers, and I mean legitimate hackers, people with 80+ kills and 0-2 deaths. EA doesn't care about PC at all.

    Just a reskin of BF1. Good graphics is everything this game has. It's overpriced, has nothing to do with WW2, gameplay is boring and too simplified, multiplayer is doesn't require teamwork, maps are small, spawns are too quick, everyone is running around shooting each other like in call of duty. Avoid this game, don't be fooled by amazing graphics.

    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.
