Which shooter recently has a better close, mid, and far shooting gameplay with a huge load of modes, vehicles and top of the game graphics and Sounds?

Battlefield was never fully about historical realism, it is a all out war GAME with a very atmospheric setting. Jumping on the negative train is for poor minds and frustrated people failing to have fun with this solid game which is actually sad. For all the other shooter fans out there it is great fun!… Expand

    -> Lack of progresssion from BF1 was fixed. Now, you have several ranks and progressions to go thru (weapon, class, soldier, Tides of War) etc...

    I can wait to receive maps featuring new factions such as Russians, Americans and Japaneses...
    I recommend.. Specially now that you can already find it on sale already and there's no premium anymore    … Expand

    This is right up there with Battlefield 3, and in many aspects, it's even better.
    Of course visually, for example, but the one thing they absolutely nailed is Squad Play.

    Gorgeous, expansive, realistic (or at least as much as an FPS can be), and simply loaded to the brim with content — in short, every bit as good as its predecessors. I don't mind the minor anachronisms (although I'm surprised that my fellow gamer Millennials cared about historical precision this much).

    BEST BF5 EVER. If you hate skills, don't get this game.
    For the plebs that speaks "realism", they obviously havn't been in combat at all. bunch of fking hypocrites. This game isn't trying to be the "OMFG SO MUCH REALISM". if u want "realism" go play red orchestra. fking idiots.

    Buy the game, u wont regret. Unless u got no skills that is

    I have more hours in this Battlefield than others so I guess that itself makes it a good game in my mind's eye.

    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.

    The funniest thing about the users here are the lonely boys complaining about having women in the game! You are not in a real way, you are not a real soldier and there is no room to coplain about realism when a bag of stuff instantly heals a large caliber round to the head. Not to mention creating obstacles with a hammer, or jumping out of planes at a few hundred feet and landing safely. :-)

    I know its easy to be angry at women in general when you get no action, but go back to COD and stop pretending that you "always loved the series...." you trolls!

    I actually asked my grandparents,they dont feel insulted by the game at all,and told me that everyone who thinks it's insulting, well.." they are fools and dont know what they say and ask for,it's a good thing that the game isn't fully realistic and doesn't picture it the way it was,you have no idea what kind of horrors you are forced to see nor what kind of things you have to do in order to stay alive,it is not insulting you are the ones insulting us for wanting things we don't want to see anymore" My grandfather fought in the german side and saw lot of women picking up rifles or throwing handmade grenades at german tanks in 1944 and partecipated in the occupation of the France and im 1945 he was forced to hide and escape from the allies,he told me how many people he killed and how he never forgot their faces nor their names,is this what you want?

    They improved so much vs. the beta. I actually did not like the beta but now this game is just excellent. I am also quite pleased by the map design. I can tell they made a big improvement vs BF1.
    Regarding the female character controversy, you now have the option to choose whether you want a man or a woman, black or white etc... So it is totally up to the player to decide what he wants to do. Nothing is imposed on you by the devs.

As for the history - read books, there are tons of them- this is a videogame ispired by historical events not a ww2 documentary - and walking around with a chick medic is totaly my cup of tea.

    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.
