    Worst battlefield ever. No innovations. bad graphics. massive amount of bugs and glitches. bad performance. Stupid micro-transactions. Historically the game is 95% made up.

    The cheating is so massive in this game and nothing is done about it. Doubt it? Go in Spectator mode just for a few on public servers and see for you self.

    The people in charge of creating this game are simply incompetent. Stupid cash grab, nowhere near as good as it can be. You will get bored in a few days.

    What in the world is this game?
    Where's Soviet Union?
    Why in the world there are half robot women's with katanas? Light speed tanks???? Seriously not even modern tanks are this fast! Don't even get me started with creators response to the backlash, it was embarassing beyond believe! After playing this for about three hours i'm gonna say i would rather replay Infinite Warfare, atleast    What in the world is this game?

    I never rate games, but I just had to make a Metacritic account after getting this game for free with my 2080Ti and trying it out for the first time. All I can say is WOW. I've always LOVED the BF series, back to BF2, I've had almost every single game since, with my favourite being BF4. I got BF1 on my PS4 but played about 1 hour and just stopped because I didn't like it, but even though II never rate games, but I just had to make a Metacritic account after getting this game for free with my 2080Ti and trying it out for the first time. All I can say is WOW. I've always LOVED the BF series, back to BF2, I've had almost every single game since, with my favourite being BF4. I got BF1 on my PS4 but played about 1 hour and just stopped because I didn't like it, but even though I actually paid for that one, I didn't feel the need to rate it negatively. However, this? This thing absolutely deserves every negative rating it has received. If you are on the fence, DO NOT PURCHASE!

    So, I started the game, and realized my CPU (Ryzen 7 1700X OC'ed to 3.825ghz) severely bottlenecks this game; I can't maintain 60FPS on Ultra + high Raytracing. No other game has an issue except maybe X Plane, but that's a flight sim! Oh, and I'm only running 2560*1080! Anyways, I turned down raytracing and one other setting and got 50FPS sustained, so I just left it at that. Not ideal, but ok. Oh, and when changing settings, the developers stupidly have the game apply entire presets on the fly as you click them, no apply, nothing, so as I'm trying to change from the default max fidelity setting, it's trying to apply every setting, and freezes for a good 30 seconds while it does that, and I'm sitting there hoping it doesn't crash for the 3rd time until I finally got to the custom toggle and could change individual settings.

    Now, let's start with the loading screens; they're HORRIBLE. In the name of minimalism, they decided to not have a loading bar or really much of anything. All you get is a black screen with a little loading icon; I'd normally be fine with that, but this game is incredibly buggy. It launches about 50% of the time, so watching that little icon with no other indicator or anything else on screen is extremely frustrating. Oh, and if you alt+tab or hit the windows key, the game will either crash, stop loading, or continue to load and then say "server disconnected" as soon as the map loads.

    Next is combat; I used to love BF big open maps and even the smaller ones, but these suck! They feel very littered and busy with small corridors where players are forced to move through. I couldn't figure out how to get into any vehicles, I don't know if they made that DLC or something, but I couldn't get into any vehicles, which I really hope is just something I messed up and not some DLC bs, because then I'd hate this game even more.

    Combat sucks because the map is crowded, guns feel horrible, you don't really feel in control. You either get lucky or you don't, it doesn't feel skillful.

    Finally, the SJW bs. Why is this game full of sjw stuff? do you really need to add wmn and other races in there (I'm not white btw, I'm a minority myself)?? If they recreated some other battle in Asia and replaced the game characters with white characters, people would be up in arms, so wtf is up with the distortion of history? Absolutely disgusting and disrespectful to the people who gave their lives in that war.

    Overall, avoid this game at absolutely all costs    … Expand

    A really great game, gameplay wise, however it's a full price AAA game and it still has fully overpriced micro-transactions. I really miss the times where you unlocked cosmetics with skill and dedication. It's sad to see all those great games failing in delivering a nice and "rewarding" user experience.

    Absolutely terrible game, respawning, and the use of multiplayer inserts, how cheap is that. Poor save points, no adjustment during play to other difficulty levels, gliches, annoying characters, need l say more, shame on electronic arts, it's the last game l ever play by that company. Wasted my money! ...ps dont play it, it totally sucks.

    This game just blows. The menus are terrible, loading times are unbearable (even with a PCIe 4.0 m.2 drive) and the addition of female soldiers completely throws you off and takes you out of the experience. It feels like a fortnite kids game with a bf skin.

    As the developers said themselves; “don’t buy it”. Good thing I got this game for free with my GPU purchase.

    Yeah you literally get nothing when you purchase this game, sure the graphics are good and i got around 100 hours of game play.
    i have been playing battlefield games since bad company but this game misses so much of that old battlefield feel.
    The game has been out for a while now and the only thing we got was battle royale, like ,really dice? no new maps and it is way too few weapons

    The single player campaign does not save progress (the game is already a year). A ton of bugs. Constantly jumps TTK. Update broke the interface and had to download the game again. The promised mechanics never appeared. Already introduced mechanics are absolutely unnecessary (for example the construction of barricades). Servers lose connections all the time. Should I continue?

    This is genuinely the worst experience I have had in gaming, and by a massive margin.

    It now has some more maps, but none of the core issues have been resolved. NONE.

    every gun on the game is a carbon copy with some insignificant changes from another gun in the game, side arms are pathetic, gadgets are non existent basically if you are not playing assault. and even then you only have 2 rocket launchers, maps are flat boring uninspired and most of them are really hard to spots soldiers in (if you say something about cammos i swear to god, even bf4 had cammos and they didn't injure the game play at all)
    cheaters since alpha (no joke, go search "cheat for battlefield v" and even on youtube there will be a video since day 1 (why ? because dice was lazy as **** and they literal copy pasted everytyhing from battlefield 1, meaning bf1 cheat work as fine or better on this game)

    performance that you would compare to crysis when it firstly launched even to the graphical changes on the game from battlefield 1 to battlefield v are minimal or not even noticeable.

    getting half bake maps or maps that only work on 1 or 2 game modes.

    badly balanced gun play across the board.
    for example: they introduced a good game play feature on bf1 were if you spam sidestep you would get a speed penalty making the sniping game play feel not frustrating (on a game that was filled to the brim with self loading rifles), but bfv came around and threw that to the garbage bin and made even more annoying self loading rifles, designated rifles, carbine snipers for medics, mmgs anti material rifles.
    basically ****ing the sniper game play (not counting that literally ever class has a faster bullet speed than every sniper rifle.

    the planes are still wanky and don't work or sometimes even don die after taking 1 shell/ 2 rockets on the chassis.

    i tried to "like" this game, since the closed alpha (i pre ordered this piece of **** even brought the ****ing deluxe edition. 120 dollars for literally 2 ugly unmotivated ****y gun skin parts.

    1 year and 1 month.
    still the same garbage.

    and they had the balls to add paid cosmetics to this mess of a game anyways, like "i don't give a **** about this game, it is just a cash grab"

    man, i feel bad about the amount off **** that hard line had. at least that game was someway playable and enjoyable, it wasn't "battlefieldish" per say but it was a entertaining game non the less

    if you are planning on buying this and being like : "every battlefield was bad in launch"

    at least those games had actual good amount of guns, maps, gadgets, vehicles, customization.

    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]
