    Ok, so this is my 2nd review on metacritic. I played every battlefield game except vietnam, bad company 1 and hardline. I played a lot of Battlefield 2 and BF2142 and while BF3 and BF4 were lacking much of the tactical depth of previous titles (imo), overall they were (very) good games (BF3 especially).

Battlefield 1 was worse in my opinion but still fun (in different way).I wanted to check if the only cause for bad score of BF5 is pathetic marketing ("don't buy this game") and sjw as there were some good reviews too.

    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.

    Do not buy this game - really you will waste your money

    I hoped that some day EA would release battlefield 2143, but as there is a high chance of failure I am not sure if that is what I still want.    … Expand

    And honestly I don't think it will ever be as good as or come even close what bf3 or bf4 were. Those games that had a better core, and they were designed around multiplayer, and had considerable amount of content and customization from the start. This game on the other-hand is centered around customizing you character with in-game currency, and I honestly think this is the biggest reason we have visibility issues.    … Expand

    The game is devoid of content and starving for more big maps. Suppression effect is gone which negates the whole machine gunner/support class except for being a moving bullet dispenser.

    The only positives are 3D-spotting is kept to a minimum, graphics and sound are great and fortifications are awesome.

    Plays like 15 years old game, even by 2018 standards. Technical issues even in 2021, with all updates - even cutscenes flicker and lag. Just some few very short episodes of single player campaign. In short - not worth your money.

    Shooting mechanics are polished and rewarding. Visually, the game is good. Far Cry 5 is better looking and runs a whole lot better (although that's a different beast, being singleplayer/co-op). Just saying.

    A proper single-player campaign is extremely important to me. Battlefield has never had a genuinely amazing one. The stupid war stories of BF1 and BFV are dreadful stealth missions that follow a pattern for each segment. It's repetitive and half-assed. I found 2D sprites for trees on one level, and I assume those kinds of cheap shortcuts were used in all the levels. The singleplayer is pointless, but it shouldn't be! They could have made it robust and unique. The cinematic capabilities of their engine are obvious, but wasted here. It's all about pushing that yearly title and getting those pre-orders. EA, you suck real bad.

    The multiplayer is still at 64-players. Squad is at 80 players, and may be pushing to 100-player servers. The maps feel empty a lot of the time to me. Just a big cat and mouse mess. They did put in some game-modes that establish a front line. That is essential to promote objective-based teamplay. Good job there. I had fun in the Grand Operations! The good news is there are no DLCs. The bad news is by the time they release enough content to have a full game, it'll be time for the next release and everyone will abandon BFV!

    We have to get out of this yearly release schedule. The fans will be excited to play a game as good as BF3 for a few years while DICE develops a complete product for 3 years or so.

    Gameplay is clean and rewarding for the most part

    Performance problems. Very CPU intensive game, no my computer is not a "potato."
    Basically no single-player. It's so bad that it might as well not be there.
    No story, just little made up PC culture mini stories presented poorly
    PC culture invaded the game
    Bad marketing
    Incomplete game upon release. Next cycle will render any updates in 2019 pointless because another game will be coming out and BFV will be abandoned
    Historically makes no sense and ignores all the big, well-known battles. They made up "lesser-known" stories to try and be unique. Just give us D-Day in Normandy, Battle of the Bulge, Siege of Stalingrad, and even the Pacific theater with the crisp modern visuals and audio.    … Expand

    It's alright, if you liked BF1 you'll probably like this one. The mechanics are similar and the addition of buildable defenses is pretty neat. There's enough changed to warrant buying it on sale for $30 if you're a fan. It's definitely more cinematic feeling and very chaotic. It's very similar to the last title, really don't like that both teams get a lot of the same guns too. Feels lazy.It's alright, if you liked BF1 you'll probably like this one.

    It seems to have a lot of hackers too, every other game has one or two people racking up insane scores no legit person could possibly obtain. This issue seems far more prevalent than in BF1. I just got done playing a game with someone ranked 2, pretty much brand new, with 40-3 as their KDR. I don't care how much of a veteran you are in BF, I've bought almost every one of them since 1942, that's not possible as a new player.

    Overall I'd say it is worth getting on sale if you are a longtime fan, the whole "I hate women being in games thing" is stupid as well. It has the stench of an incel more than anything, if you want to complain about historical accuracy ask why all the allies are running around with MP40s and other German weapons    … Expand

Los mapas son mataderos en un 90% de los casos , no hay libertad de movimiento como había en los antiguos (desde el 4 para atrás se nota muchísimo). Se ha perdido el gusto de poder coger en cualquier momento un vehiculo, o intentar hacer una incursion en solitario o en pequeño grupo para recuperar una base... ahora solo se puede pasar por un cuello de botella en el que perder una vida tras otra.

    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

    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

    But Battlefield V is.... just really really bad. It doesn't feel like war, it doesn't feel like Battlefield. I thought that after WW1 we will receive a historical masterpiece based on previous BF, but we did not.

On top of that EA called it's customers "uneducated" and has tried to ruin WWII with feminism and crazy stuff that never happened in WWII. This game's only strong point is the tighter gunplay than BF1, though that's a really low bar to set. It has decent gunplay but all the vehicles have been sort of removed from the game. You never really see more than one tank or plane ever. This game has increasingly become call of duty with more players. It's a s***show of pew-pew-ing. This game is a crappy excuse for a shell of a Battlefield game and you should just get BF4 or some other game instead.… Expand

    A fun game with great foundation. Sadly, the release was pushed ahead way too much, the game definitely needs at least another 3-6 months of development. Also I'm not sure how DICE does it but they broke a lot of working mechanics taken from BF1 which are now simply bugged. Who made the menu system? Not only is it confusing for a new player. Once you know what you are doing, it becomes a chore changing your classes etc.
    Despite all the negatives, the game is fun and has some great concepts to look forward to in the future. The gunplay is good and more skillful than before. Maybe after a year of patches I will gladly give the game a 9/10, just like with BF1. But right now, especially for an AAA title it is a buggy mess.    … Expand

    I have been a huge fan of the Battlefield series since the original Battlefield 1942. Despite the liberties taken with WW1, BF1 was hugely fun and had awesome atmosphere, tone, and look to it. Battlefield V is a game that has had a huge amount of work put into it, and it looks good, it's just been pushed in the wrong direction.

Despite the liberties taken with WW1, BF1 was hugely fun and had awesome atmosphere, tone, and look to it. Battlefield V is a game that has had a huge amount of work put into it, and it looks good, it's just been pushed in the wrong direction.

    The gameplay and graphics, while pretty objectively good in a vacuum, looks and feels extremely 'cartoony' because of certain choices with the gameplay mechanics, and visuals, the overly saturated colors. Little things in the visuals really bother me because you see them in front of you constantly. Their fictionalized military emblems they plaster everywhere is practically condescending. I need a stylized, completely made up ‘minimalist’ Union Jack inspired logo painted on all my guns when I play as the British? For what? So I don't forget which team I'm on? My character constantly 'looks at' "ammo" magazines in game that have yellow bullet silhouette graphics painted on them so I don't forget 'this is ammo'? This doesn't feel like Battlefield nor a game for gamers. This feels and looks almost like an oversaturated and condescending mobile phone game or Fortnight.

    The fortifications building ability is a neat idea but again it doesn't feel like Battlefield, it feels like I'm playing Minecraft.
    Also the spawn menu map is too 'messy' and 'busy' and I dislike the new color and design choices. BF1 pretty much nailed how a spawn menu should look, crisp and easy to make quick decisions.

    While I can understand them wanting to avoid the arguably overused classic battle scenarios of WWII such as Omaha Beach, they should have realized that the last time some of us played these was perhaps over a decade ago with some of the original COD, MOH, and Battlefield games. I would have very gladly welcomed the chance to experience these classic battles once again in Battlefield style with a kickass modern day game engine. A huge opportunity was wasted here.

    The shoehorning of 'politically correct' elements of the game was pushed way too far as evidenced by the over the top reveal trailer, and the developer's subsequent comments and disrespect for the core audience of the game. In addition to this they didn't even stand their ground and instead backpedaled somewhat on their aggressive PC agenda. This shows they listened to some of the criticism they received and made some adjustments, but not enough.

    EA/Dice also haven’t done enough to address cheating in their games. BF1 after being out for well over 2 years now, still suffers from rampant cheating (especially on servers in Asia). I don’t recall encountering and cheating while playing BFV, but I’ve read reports that the exact same sort of cheating that still goes on in BF1 is already happening in BFV. I don’t understand exactly how it all works, but there has to be a better way of dealing with it. Fairfight seems to help somewhat but it isn’t enough.
    Aside from the fact that EA/Dice’s could do more, I’m shocked at the stats I see on some servers, with messages sometimes stating something like 30 people have been banned in the last 24 hours, and that’s only the ones that are caught by Fairfight. This seems to be the biggest problem in Asia (where I play).

    I will give EA/Dice big kudos for the player and weapon customization they implemented into the game, it's along the lines of what I had always thought they were going to do in BF1 but never did. That's about the most positive thing I can say for the game. It's still not enough to save it though...

    It is with great sorrow that I sadly won't be purchasing this game after trying it out on Origin Premium Access. The game looks and feels like COD crossed with Fortnight with a little Minecraft mixed in, a far cry from what I expect a Battlefield game to be. I'll stick with Battlefield 1 for now. Disappointed.    … Expand

    To address the elephant in the room - I don't understand why they didn't just market the game as some steampunk / alternate universe kind of story, with that it would have been much more reasonable and would have garnered no complaints from me.

But trying to remain a historical WW2 shooter with minority amputee women, and facial tattooed katakana wielding bearded bikers on the front line you lost me.

    The game-play itself is miserable - I'm strongly of the belief that the Battle Series has been going downhill hard since BF3, and this is no different. Much like BF One, and Star Wars Battlefront - these game as the most beautiful highly polished HD garbage I have ever seen. From trailers to still images the games look phenomenal, but once you get put behind the controls you realize it is at best the same old same old, but realistically two steps back for every step forward.

    EA is continuing on with is practice of charging $60 for a retail game, with $60 of additional DLC that you will essentially have to buy if you don't want to get left behind by your friends or favorite servers - coming only 1 year after it's predicessor (Battle Front 2) and only 1 year before the previous (BF One). $120 for less than a year's worth of low quality gaming? No thanks.

    But clearly EA and Dice are happy to be swimming in foolish gamers money with former boss of Dice Patrick Soderlund going so far as to respond to complaints by saying calling consumers "uneducated" and following by saying "either accept it or don't by the game. I'm fine with either."

    BF fans need to seriously vote with their wallets or you can expect another $120 hot pile of garbage in BF6 coming right on schedule next fall .    … Expand

    "No battlefield has felt as much as a COD game as this one.

    This statement has ZERO bearing in reality. The game launched with 8 maps, several of which are very large and have you engaging over very wide distances, 100 meters + And not all engagements on the "city" maps, or the maps that are considered close combat, are at close range, often you are engaging at 75-100 meters.

    "The campaign is bad & short as hell" --D25BEV

    If you are purchasing a BF title for it's campaign, then you must not be familiar with the franchise. Judging a BF title for it's campaign is like judging KFC for their corn on the cob. Campaign has NEVER been the focus of ANY BF title. Early BF games didn't even release with a campaign at all.

    "full of bugs and microtransactions" --YourMumWashes

    Bugs....maybe...the game runs fine for me on i5 8600k, gtx1070, 16GB DDR4.

    Microtransactions.....no, this is not a problem AT ALL. They aren't even releasing a Season Pass for this game. I think the media fiasco and subsequent stock price plummet due to Battle Front 2 taught them a lesson.

    In conclusion, BF5 is a solid BF release, great graphics, fast, heart pounding game play, all the things you know and love from a good BF title are in this game. They need to increase the squad count back to 5 and do some UI tuning, but overall I am more than satisfied with BF5, and I cannot wait to see what their royale looks like. Don't make your decision based on these negative reviews by people who clearly haven't the slightest idea of what they are talking about. Take it from me, a BF vet since the days of 1942, this is a good BF game!    … Expand

    BFV paints a grim depiction of war, throwing you into enjoyable scenarios in war stories. Its derivative for sure, but still a decent way to spend a few hours.

    The changes to multiplayer are welcome with the game feeling different enough to BF1 to be worth a purchase. The map design is good with a couple of "best in series" additions and the game appears to be very well optimised - at least when running on my Ryzen / Vega combo.

    Минусы:
    1) В игре мало карт, тем более что мелкие бои происходят на тех же самых картах
    2) Режимы, ленятся, могли бы с CoD подтянуть пару прикольных режимов.
    3) Есть не значительные баги.
    4) Самый главное за что снял, балан оружия. Он больше под приставку. Берем винтовку, шутрмовику и все вы имеете мощное орудие на дальность (уступаете только снайперу) и за того что на PC быстро стреляешь и целишься, то и в ближнем бою король (либо мне такие нубы попадались, хотя я сам не крутой)
    Плюсы.
    1) Изменили механику стрельбы, она по мне стала круче.
    2) Специализация бойца и навыки оружия позволяет сделать бойца, который вам нужен. Настроить разные оружие под разные тактики.
    3) Бабы в игре +- минус в том, что визуально не отличить, а голос сильно противный. А в целом норм. Хотел женщину бойца делай, не хочешь не делай. В игре все равно не видно кого убиваешь.
    4) Команда, теперь это реальная грозная 4-ка, которая представляет из себя очень очень опасное звено, особенно если играть командно, это вытекает необходимость и за измененной механики.
    5) Механику изменили, играки на PC на приставках в BF было по приятнее играть. Теперь на много больше людей старается выполнить цель, а не сидеть как горные бараны со снайперок. а вторые с минометом под горой. Или на технике в конце карты. Игра стала более активной, динамичной (просто раньше все сидели на горе, и только половина, пытались выполнить цель 2-ая половина горные козлы). Все бегают, строят, выполняют то что надо.
    6) Строительство это круто.
    7) подтянули значительно кастомизацию

    Is the game a reskinned Battlefield 1? Certainly not. While some features and mechanics feel similar, it shouldn't surprise anyone, it's a Battlefield game after all. So far we don't know exactly what kind of monetization plans EA has, so it's impossible to actually judge those. From what we know so far, they plan to charge for cosmetic items (you can customize helmets, chests, and legs, in addition to several weapon parts). So far there's no season pass or "battle pass" or anything like that. You buy the base game and you get everything. Deluxe Edition extras are mostly cosmetic alterations/retextures.

    So far the weapon selection is smaller compared to previous game, but you can basically pick 4 modifications per weapon modifying them in some way (changing magazine sizes, precision, bullet physics, etc.). In some way it's a bit like BF1's weapon variations, although more diverse and flexible.

    The selection of vehicles is also still quite limited, although it feels as diverse as it's been in previous titles. You got to pick light, medium, and heavy tanks, air superiority fighters, ground attack planes, and bombers.

    Singleplayer is nice to play through, although the stories feel weaker than those in BF1 and it's mostly around getting to objectives and stealth gameplay. I would have wished more in the style of BF1's Through Mud and Blood.

    Performance wise, the game has nothing to hide. With latest Nvidia drivers I'm getting butter smooth 60fps on a 4 year old i7 4770k with a GTX 1080 (non-Ti) and 16GB RAM. Loading times are ridiculously short (5-10 seconds), except when going back to the main menu.

    Ah, and yes, two last but important points:

    Run and gun is mostly dead, you have to play more careful and work as a squad/team. This doesn't mean you're forced into camping, but you can't just run through a street melting everyone, no matter whether you're on foot or in a tank.

    Yes, the game allows you to play female characters in multiplayer, but it's overall rather decent and at some distance impossible to tell them apart. Also customization is rather decent and kept faithful to the time period the game is set in.

    Overall I'm enjoying the game tremendously, if you're on the fence, get Origin Access – risk that few bucks – and give it a spin. Totally worth it. And let's be real. If you just want the campaign (can entertain you for a few days if you want to master everything on Hardcore difficulty) and maybe dab into multiplayer, 15 bucks is an absolutely good deal for renting the game for a month.    … Expand

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

(how do people not know this **** Plus there were female soldiers in pretty much every major conflict and if someone wants the option (which it is) to play as a female then why shouldn't they!
    Go watch a documentary or read something if you what to learn about the war.
    Stop trying to decrease a player base in the game in which most people will enjoy and if they listen to you idiots out there, they may not have the pleasant experience of being involved.
    That said....
    The game is great and the best in the franchise to date IMO. Played BF3, BF4, BF1, FYI.
    The gun play is skill based and feels right straight up, more so than in the previous title BF1 and I imagine this is the major cause of the salt.
    The team revive is a great addition and feels great playing with your squad mates as they tend to stick together more in this title. PTO is more important in this title because winning objectives is the main source of ammo and heals.
    The removal of the old spotting mechanic creates more game play options. This removes the snipers on the edge of the map spamming 'Q' to spot there next player. It stops just shooting at the red donuts on the screen which took the emersion away in the later titles. But there are some players that like shooting at red donuts.
    This player is the player that gets salty when there play style might need to change for the new title. This is the player that reviews the game a "0" after they play the game for one match and get there arse handed to them. This is the player who checks there K/D ratio after every game.
    This is the player that quits if the team might lose or changes sides as there squads back capping F.
    THIS IS THE PLAYER THAT WE DON'T WHAT TO PLAY WITH! THIS IS THE PLAYER THAT SHOULD NOT REVIEW GAMES! THIS IS THE PLAYER WITH A HIGH XP THAT RUNS AROUND LIKE A HEADLESS CHICKEN WHEN YOU GET TO CLOSE!
    That said the single player game is poor and to be honest single player AI in FPS hasn't got any better in any single player FPS in the past 10 years. So the attention has been placed on the multiplayer game which is why we play the game. Map balance will improve over time but is pretty good so far.
    That's my 2 cents anyway, wow that was a rant really. Peace out man.    … Expand

    This is a really strong Battlefield title    THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO MICROTRANSACTIONS IN THE GAME.

As of right now there is no premium / cash currency and all the unlockable content is unlocked through playing the game (I hate blatant lying from trolls who haven't even touched the game).

    This is a really strong Battlefield title that does a lot to keep players engaged and working together as a team. They've reinvented a few game modes from previous titles so there are more ways to play than ever. Buy this for the multiplayer; the singleplayer war stories are extremely short.

    The gunplay has been reworked from Battlefield 1. Weapons now feel actually pretty good to shoot, it's a little less luck based and with practice you can do so much better than was possible in 1.

    Behemoths are gone, though DICE now introduces Squad Reinforcements which ... kind of take their place (though they aren't as grand). Now, when your squad gets a certain number of points, the squad leader can call in special vehicles or even a V-1 rocket to cause massive damage.

    The weapon unlock and customization system is amazing. Weapons are unlocked as you rank up your class, so no more "get 50 kills in one life" challenges to unlock a weapon (at least not yet). You unlock customization options for your weapon as you level it up, and as you hit certain milestone ranks you can unlock assignments ("Get 60 kills while attacking objectives") to unlock variations of the parts (especially scopes/sights). There are also specialization "perks" for the weapons and vehicles that you buy with Company Coins (which you only get from playing the game and completing assignments). These specializations grant you small but crucial bonuses (for instance, faster reload times or slightly better recoil control on weapons, or additional armor or stronger ammunition on vehicles), and they can be swapped out from the game menu at any time.

    Vehicle combat feels far more fleshed out now. Rockets and shells have a chance to be deflected off armor, tanks have more vulnerability points, you can make pilots crash by shredding a wing up, etc. Ground vehicles do feel underpowered, and air vehicles feel overpowered (especially when you start adding perks and specializations to them), but in a balanced match the aircraft aren't too overwhelming.

    The game looks incredible, though I do have to dock it a point here because there are some very glaring issues with brightness and contrast on certain maps. On one map, for instance, there are bright outside areas and darker interior spaces. Even with HDR off and brightness settings adjusted, it can be really difficult to see enemies in those pitch black apartment hallways. On a snow covered map, though, that adjusted brightness setting instantly blinds you, so there's no happy medium point for now.

    I also wish they had shipped with more maps at launch, but considering how well the Grand Operations play out on the maps that do exist, I won't complain too much about it.

    I'm also not the best Battlefield player -- I tend to hover around a 1:1 KDR and generally finish in the top 35% of my team -- but at about 42 hours in-game (not necessarily play) time, I have completed all the unique Assignments for online (meaning the only other assignments I can complete are for classes and weapons), I 100% the first war story (which took about two and a half hours with restarts...), have achieved character rank 36, maxed out the medic class rank and one weapon rank, and have almost "mastered" both the weapon and medic class.

    I think the progression system is more than fair, but it does seem a little unbalanced in certain areas.

    Overall, this is a very impressive game, and I'm really excited to see what the future has in store for us!

    EDIT: For what it's worth, my experience with online FPS dates back to the original Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat mods for HL1 and I've played Battlefield since 1942. This is a great game with a lot of potential that it's not currently filling, but it's still a fun experience while we wait.    … Expand

    This is a review of multiplayer. I haven't played the campaign.

    An excellent evolution of the franchise. A solid launch and compelling gameplay. Less gimmicky than BF1, the new mechanics force you to think before you act. Strong modes, strong maps, well balanced classes and greatly improved gunplay make multiplayer feel fair and skill-based. The reduced time to kill is unforgiving but    This is a review of multiplayer. I haven't played the campaign.

Strong modes, strong maps, well balanced classes and greatly improved gunplay make multiplayer feel fair and skill-based. The reduced time to kill is unforgiving but it works both ways.

    Performance has been smooth as butter on my original XBox One. In my opinion it looks better with all the post-production effects turned off, but either way it's a great looking game. That said, it's necessary to tweak brightness settings etc to ensure you can see enemies, who are occasionally hard to pick out.

    Maps are varied, well balanced, with good verticality as well as lots to interact with and destroy, creating the usual BF emergent experiences. So far, more so than I experienced in BF1 and BF4.

    New game modes have played well. Grand Operations takes place over several in-game days and mixes modes and maps, with a loose narrative intended to tie them together. The mix and match approach will appeal to some more than others but it's a good way to force variety. I wish they'd kept Rush but there's more than enough to compensate.

    Classes have been mixed up a bit with Recon feeling more PTFO focussed, Assault having been given SLRs and Medics SMGs. No fundamental changes to previous Battlefields with similar gadgets and tasks but much better gunplay. Weapon progression is tree-based, you have to choose which direction you want to specialise your weapon in and a step in one direction limits options in another.

    Vehicles feel much better balanced than in BF1 but I main infantry so don't have much authority to comment. The gunner role in tanks is much more viable than it was in BF1, feeling more like Bf4.

    If you're shot at you die quickly and this can be frustrating. But it forces consideration and encourages cooperation. You'll need to be willing to adapt to the implications of that; especially as the health and revive mechanics have been revised to contribute to attrition -- you don't regenerate to full health but can carry one med pack to do that for you, squad mates can revive each other but not to full health and very slowly, medics can revive fully and quickly whilst leaving you with a med pack.

    A few bugs with games not ending when the timer ticks to zero, menus not closing and revives not working. Annoying, fixable, not gamebreaking.

    Some pre-launch controversy emerged around changes to the attrition system, the introduction of women characters and a cosmetics microtransaction market. Make of that what you will but it seems to have encouraged negative reviews regardless of the quality of the game. That said, attrition is new but not bad, female characters have no impact on gameplay and it looks like microtransactions/skins will only be relevant to people who care about cosmetics; nothing I've seen there impacts core gameplay either.

    The menu UI is clunky and a bit baffling but it's Battlefield and I expected that. Overall this is a fantastic game with a lot of potential. If the pre-launch controversies are put to one side, there's no reason this game isn't a 9/10 title. It loses one mark for the occasional (definitely patchable) launch bugs.    … Expand

    Aside from that the changes made to the game in the form of attrition and movement mechanics, do cause a shift from your old habits. It hasn't been so important to play with your squad in years, that has upsides and downsides. If the squad is responsive and fairly decent players, it's a blast and immense fun. If the squad isn't however, the experience can be a bit frustrating as you play not only against your opponents in this case.

    Gun play is great, with the downside of all weapons being a bit too automated. I do miss the majority bold action rifles from old games. Vehicle play is great. It's really tough to find faults in the core gameplay of the game.

    The single player however is insultingly short. I greatly enjoyed playing through the BF1 SP which was super short as well but this one left me with a bad taste of "COME ON! Where is the rest?" otherwise the stories are mostly forgettable.

    As a summary: If you liked old Battlefields, there is a lot to like here too and i strongly recommend. If you didn't however and prefer a more casual shooter, this BF will not be for you.    … Expand

    This is a true Battlefield game with many "only in battlefield" moments in it. I'm seriously didn't enjoyed a BF title this much since BF3, and i'm played them all. This game has tactical infantry and vehicle gameplay, the fortification system is a true masterpiece, you can easily put up new defense line for yourself -after the buildings get leveled- making it easier -or even just possible- to defend again and angain. The gunplay feels good and the maps are good. It just feels good to play.

    There are some bugs, some serious even and i think it's still not acceptable to ship a tripe A game in this state even if we slowly get used to it, that the betas are demos for you to hook you up and the first 1-2 months are the real betatest with live servers. More and more game companies do this but it's still not okay and never will be.

    All in all, i am currently enjoying this new chapter of the Battlefield series, and hoping for quick fixes and good content being delivered after release. The devs seems to willing to do this.    … Expand

    It's another unfinished product released way too early. There is a lot missing (coming soon) and there are a lot of bugs. As usually DICE is saying "we are working on it" but who knows how long it will take. I would stay away at least for a few months and check back later to see in what shape the game is. Don't buy into the "early access" thing because that's what BF5 currently is.

    Remember when Battlefield was a historically accurate depiction of past conflicts? Yeah, me neither. What the **** are these people complaining about? Good for DICE for making multiplayer more accessible and appealing to a wider audience. I'm a long-time Battlefield player and I'm loving this game.

    I gave this game a 7 after release because I hoped they will add a lot of content and make it the Battlefield platform we really need. Now after 2 years they stoped adding content for the game. You have a WW2 game where you don't have the Soviet, French or Italian armies. However they put a lot of emphasis on adding women in the game.

However they put a lot of emphasis on adding women in the game. I didn't have an issue with that even though women didn't fight in WW2 for any country. I mean literally 0 women fought in WW2. There were a lot of women involved in helping in WW2 but not actionally fighting. If you make a fictional game or a modern game it is awesome to have representation in the game but since Battlefield is focused more on realism they managed to ruin the immersion after playing a while. Of course they also managed to mess up uniforms. They added ridiculous uniforms as payed content along the way. This also managed to ruin immersion a lot. Battlefield used to be realistic and immersive. Now I feel it is pretty much the same game as the competition. There were also lots of bugs and there is a very small difference between BF1 and BFV. I feel they redid the menus, player skins, added a few maps and a couple of single player missions (which are total garbage compared to BF1) and sell it as a new game. They did the same thing they do every year with FIFA. All of the above would have been fine if they would have kept their promises to build this game as a platform. The Soviet Union (I'm not a fan of Soviets, quite the opposite, but I'm being objective here) had the most casualties (both military and civilians) and they were and integral part in winning the European war but they aren't even part of this game. They gave us a shell of a game, not historically accurate, a lot of unfulfilled promises and a big bag of bugs to endure. For all of the above this gets a 3/10 in my book.… Expand

    Final Verdict: 7.4 (Rounded down to a 7)

    To start off, I was one of the people who didn't like DICE's depiction of WW2 and was against the game from the start. The closed alpha was quite good, but the beta was an outright disaster. That said, I can confidently say that this year's installment has the best gameplay since BF3. If you want a game with an in-depth progressions system that you can sink hours into with its constant genre-defining epic moments for hours on end, this is the game for you. Cosmetics are surprisingly good. All characters you can choose are faction specific, meaning no black woman nazis, restricting the player to choose from a variety of men and women from a select character pool. For those concerned about historical accuracy, it is barely noticeable aside from the uncomfortable and loud women screaming on the battlefield. The content is quite light at launch. While there is a lot of variety in the content itself, the quantity is lacking. Features such as dragging downed friendlies, vehicle customization, and the Last Tiger war story are lacking from the game. The game is also very buggy. I'd say there aren't many 'game breaking' bugs (although I've encountered an infinite revive state glitch where I couldn't respawn), as most of the bugs are ignorable at best. The story is alright. 2 of the 3 war stories are quite decent, and one is just downright garbage. The AI is piss poor, and there is no variety in gameplay other than the typical one man army style gameplay. Performance isn't up to standard right now, as hectic moments can get quite laggy especially if you don't have a good CPU. So, should you buy the game? Not yet. Either wait till it's on sale or until more content comes out. I also recommend you try out the game by buying one month of EA Access. I've had a blast with the game so far, and I look forward to Tides of War.    … Expand

    The low User Score for Battlefield V is representative only of the propensity for butt-hurted-ness of the gaming community at large.

    Battlefield V is a great game, both on it's own and as part of the larger franchise. I have played every Battlefield game since Battlefield 1942.

    The new frostbite engine is absolutely stunning. Every session I notice new physics interactions; most recently I was amazed when a nearby explosion causes the packed snow to slide off the top of a house on one of the snowy maps. One of the - if not the - most beautiful games I have ever played, and it seems to be very well optimized.

    I do wish we had some larger maps with more vehicles scattered about. I miss that about the old-school battlefield games. I'm willing to give that up for immersion of the frostbite engine.

    The whiners that think this game would be made realistic by removing female avatars fail to recognize that this is a videogame and not a history lesson. If women (or men) want to play this game as female characters they should be able to. If you want to play a historically accurate WW2 shooter go play Red Orchestra.    … Expand

    The misogynists raging about "realism issues" with women featuring in this game could try reflecting on the other historical inaccuracies in the game.
    The Germans, nor Allies had respawn beacons. Outrage!
    No one that died in Arras ever respawned on their squad mates either. Outrage! Should I mention the medkits that turn the near dead into fully fit fighting machines? Outrage!

    And so on...

    I'll be playing female characters exclusively, perhaps these "history buffs" will rage quit at my very presence.

    Now that we have that out of the way, on to the review.

    BF V is on balance a very solid, well polished, well executed and fun game that does suffer from the occasional glitch but nothing that ruins the game. It loses a point for those glitches.
    Graphically glorious, it's quite resource intensive - even on higher spec machines, it's taxing on the CPU (my 6600K at 4.3 ghz is running 100% on all cores, to feed the 1080ti at 2560×1440 but it does achieve a very nice 60-144fps) .

    The gameplay is the most enjoyable BF experience I've had by far - I never enjoyed the old BF1 multiplayer. In BF V, it's brilliant fun. Playing tactically pays off.

    There are no micro transactions or other exploitation mechanics.    … Expand

    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]
