    After playing the game some 20 or so hours, I actually like it. The game play is nice. But I'm amazed at the perf issues (huge fps drops here and there). Like how can it be? It is not like the hardware came as a surprise. I play with ps 4 pro on full HD, should be able to run without these issues.

    Also another thing is that the game is still missing huge amount of content. Current maps

    Overall a decent first person multiplayer game. History wise and content on day 1...well, they made a mess.==> not many maps, modes are so-so, where are the russian and japanese island maps?
    NOT my Top 3 battlefield game.

    edit 17/12/2018 :
    Even after the few updates and contents ... There isn't enough content to play it till the Battle royal comes out for BFV. It's better that you buy it at a discounted price or at least till the new maps and modes comes out.

    The reason why I don"t give it a low rating is because there are worse games out there. And i know why the fanboys are getting upset for the BF franchise.
    EA and DICE gambled and LOST but it does't mean it is a BAD game.

    Surprised this has such ridiculously low user scores, as in my opinion it has the best gunplay in the series. Really enjoy all aspects of BF5's multiplayer I've sunk dozens of hours across all maps, and I really think the game is in a great state now with balanced guns and a detailed and interesting variety of locations. However do not even try playing the campaign, it sucks dick.

He was killed his first spawn by a lucky German assault trooper (due to lag, total bs!). His second time he was killed by a nade (due to glitching, whatever!). But his third spawn? He made it to the objective and spawn camped all those Germans until they rage-quit. And that'sThe WSJ's have done it to us again. Where is the fidelity to historical truths?

And do you know what my grandfather—decorated thrice times for exceptional K/D ratios, and one of the few to have platinumed the war—didn't see while bravely enduring that hellish nightmare? Women in front-line positions.

    If you can overlook the terrible sacrilege the game is fun to play, though.

    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.

    The game's campaign is lackluster and boring. The multiplayer experience is very fun but some of the map design for certain maps make those maps boring and not fun to play. There are a few maps that I like to play and always com pack to. I feel like the women representation doesn't belong in the game. There are a lot of glitches. Overall I only like the multiplayer experience.

Su modo de un jugador, historias de guerra., tiene muy buena narrativa y cuenta hechos que te podrían poner a reflexionar. Pero la IA es algo estúpida. Con el nuevo DLC guerra en el Pacífico muchas cosas han cambiado. Después de que exploté sus dos nuevos mapas llegué a la conclusión que el juego aún puede dar más hacia delante. Es un DLC que me hizo pensar lo que tuvieron que vivir los japoneses y estadounidenses en esa época. Pero retomando los otros mapas uno se da cuenta que son muuuy flojos on online flojo que no se compara con los de sus antecesores, un online repetitivo que podría ser compensado con un aumento de slots en los jugadores. Acerca de su banda Sonora es una maldita obra maestra sin dudarlo, le da un toque genial al juego así que un punto a favor para este juego que se que algún día dará lo que prometió.

    After coming off of a franchise high with Battlefield 1, they decided to go to the drawing boards to see what adjustments they can make to have less of a lasting impact and feel closer to every other shooter on the market.

That’s not to say BFV is a bad game because it’s not, but it lacks the balance, character, and energy of BF1. The last entry really made most guns a viable option in the game, while this game really eliminates 75% of the available guns because some are just overwhelmingly better in every way. Somehow they have also made support, one of the four classes in the game, almost entirely useless and not worth the time. The balancing in this game is far off the marks, even years later in 2022.

    It has a lot of odd game design decisions that made it lose the Battlefield personality to the point where it feels like it’s trying to be other games way too much. The customization is a cool idea, but horribly executed. Every gun can be customized with some ridiculous scope including red dot sights, which completely take away any purpose from the iron sights. But when you have a female soldier with a prosthetic arm, blue face paint, and some really whacky clothing holding a gun that has zero recoil due to poor balancing along with a red dot sight decades before they were invented, it sort of loses its charm and begins to feel like Call of Duty. I know the game is not selling itself as a historically accurate game, but I don’t see the point of trying to make it seem like a WWII game.

    With that being said it’s not a bad game, it’s just an average Battlefield game. There is some fun to be had.

    It does shine in other areas. The level design is very good and really place you into some stunning environments. The destruction physics are fantastic and greatly improved from the last game. Some of the new modes are pretty entertaining. It does some things right. All in all, you can have some fun with the game, but it’s a very disappointing entry in the franchise. Too often it feels like Call of Duty mixed with Battlefield game modes, instead of just using what the franchise already does well and did exceptionally well just prior in Battlefield 1.

    This is the only battlefield (other than BF1) that I can play from india without severe ping issues. The gunplay feels great as an infantry player, it’s super easy to unlock new guns, the movement is smooth and the maps are alright. I enjoy this game for what it is. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but a solid shooter nonetheless and worth playing.

    Series is turning in the wrong direction. Devs are including stuff from other games instead of focusing I what seperated them from other games. Get rid of Hero shooter nonsense, add more weapons. Even the marketing team says don't buy if you value authentic history more than the hero shooter stuff. This series forgot what made them a Call of Duty threat.

    So first off, the multiplayer is decent as it should be...graphics are good, gunplay feels tight....but it kind of just feels like a re-skin of BF1. It's fun but nothing new to see here.

I thought the BF1 campaign was decent but short, this is even shorter.

    All in all, not sure it was worth the full price of the game. decently fun for a while, but passable if you don't feel like spending the money on it.

    The game is incredibly boring and controversial.

    The game is incredibly boring and controversial.
    The problem is both in the game itself and in the completely bestial attitude of developers and publishers to the players (which became known due to several leaks in reddit and official tweets).
    1) HUD blocks visibility. Due to player marks or points, the enemy may not be visible.
    2) Contrast "eats away" eyes on some maps. In the buildings it is impossible to discern opponents. Light and dark swings are too strong.
    3) At the same time, the enemies are not marked in a normal way, and the scouts do not use signal flares!
    4) There are no enemies on the global map and you will easily be shot in the back by joining a squad after death.
    Bottom line: hardcore detection mechanics (which does not work due to the fact that teamwork does not work fully) complicates the visual component and the poor HUD.
    At the same time they kill you too quickly. Shooting here is good, but it's almost the only thing that works great in this game.
    Therefore, a significant part of the game has to wait - which kills the dynamics. Either you are sitting in the dark corner of the room, or get shot in the back and wait for the medic.
    Very cool and dynamic. Who, under such conditions, will desperately attack points? This mechanic does not create tension, it creates boredom.

    In CoD BO4, enemies can also quickly kill you (not in the royal battle, where the TTC is higher, but in the usual multiplayer game).
    But you sleep fast. Yes, and you can be treated freely. HERE, you are deprived of a full recovery of health points, you often will not have a first-aid kit and cartridges. How does this affect the dynamics? Streyfitsya here also fails to fully, because you constantly come across a stone or other obstacle.

    This is not all - there are still many bugs here. My customization character of the support character is already flying for the fifth time. And the front line mode is currently broken.

    But the worst thing that has been done is a spoiled Operation mode, which in BF1 was very good. There is no global map, which gave everything visibility, scale and integrity. The games themselves are tight and can’t shut up prematurely.

    In BF1 it was possible to win on the first day, there was progress and a connection between the days of the operation. Here this bond has weakened. And there are no Giants.
    Oh, this game has become a big disappointment for me. There are still many negative points that can be mentioned, but I got tired of writing it.

    From the positive, of course, the already mentioned shooting, visually the game looks good (although there are problems with contrast and HUD), the mechanics with crushing grass and the construction of barricades are good. The technique is implemented, as for me, normal. The limit on the number of projectiles for technology is fully justified. The mechanics of a squad leader also makes the game better.

    The game could turn out good if it was developed longer and if it was developed by people who understand games.

    I own and have played all of the Battlefield games and this is the worst iteration in the franchise. The gun play is still good but there are still problems with that too, apparently in the netcode causing you to sometimes take all bullets from a weapon instead of one and it happens fairly often as of right now, based on what I read this was supposed to be fixed in the beta, guess not.I own and have played all of the Battlefield games and this is the worst iteration in the franchise.

    For those that love tanks like me, don't even bother, they are nearly worthless in BFV, not only are they really weak offensively and defensively, you have to refill the ammo now! How fun is that!? I have literally hit enemies with the cannon on my tank and not killed them, many many times now, that's how weak they are and on top of that next to no splash damage, infantry taunt tanks now because they are so bad. Tanks are one of the things I use a lot of in BF and I'm extremely disappointed with the choices they've made in this game.

    There's a plethora of other problems with the game too but I'll leave it at that. The game is beautiful as always but who cares how good it looks if it doesn't work as intended. Whoever worked on tanks and made the decision to have them refill ammo should be fired.

    I've been one of the few that stuck with the game since launch. DICE has had its ups and downs with the game but I still enjoy it overall. The recent content has really shown that they were dedicated to the game from the beginning, and while it's had some hiccups along the way I still think it's a solid FPS. Give it a go if it interests you.

    Now the elephant in the room, social justice politics in it, speaking for the multiplayer aspect (haven’t played the single player and don’t plan to) once you are in playing a match you are not bombarded with social justice messaging, you are just playing the game. With all the issues this game has people who it seems haven’t even played the game are focusing too much on the skin colour and gender of soldiers you can pick from. I understand that people are a little fed up with social justice agendas that are forced upon us in the entertainment industry, speak with your wallet don’t buy it, that is how you will effect change, but don’t add to the unnecessary hate this game has gotten by trying to limit someone else’s fun with it just because you don’t agree with the politics of the developers.

    Ох и хлебнули помоев бедолаги из Dice из-за многострадальной Battlefield V. Начиная от трейлеров с сильными и независимыми кибер-бабами и заканчивая сырым и не полным релизом игру хейтили со все сторон. Так ли всё плохо? Ну скорее нет, не всё.
    Из четырёх историй компании запомнилась только последняя про экипаж "Тигра", а остальные три оказались сущим бредом сценарно и полнейшей халтурой геймплейно (Ну серьёзно, герой "Тиральера" в кат-сцене рассматривает фото сослуживцев, которые оказываются дефолтными модельками персонажей из мультиплеера, Дайс ну камон).
    С мультиплеером ситуация получше, баги хоть и есть, но я уверен, что их залатают, да и сейчас они не сильно-то и мешают, хотя жалоб выдел много. Темп игры где-то в районе третьей части, явно шустрее Единички. Карты неплохи, но приемников у метро и каспийской границы так и не появилось. Очень не хватает контента, валюта зарабатывается ооочень медленно, думаю на подлёте лутбоксики с косметикой. Я большой фанат и ветеран серии, очень переживаю за неё и жду возвращения в современный сеттинг. Игра сыровата, но если вы любите Батлу, то игра вам понравится, можно и скидочек подождать.

    P.S. Dear David Sirland, are you ohuel? In an interview you said that there is no company in the game for the Soviet Union because you are not sure which side he fought on. What does it mean? The loss of the Soviet Union amounted to 27000000 people, do you think their allied Germany killed it with friendly fire? Think about what you say. Good luck.

    2. Churchill Tank Glitch: When trying to spawn into the Churchill Tank called in by squad requisition you instead get your spawn options locked. I believe this is a problem with the game transferring you into the tank. The fix here is to exit out of your current match and rejoin.
    3. Main Weapon Lock Glitch: Not sure how this happens but if it does you can't switch to your primary weapon. The fix? Rejoin the match.

    There are plenty of other bugs in the game and frankly you're likely to encounter a few in a good hour's session. Playing BFV is akin to driving a car that has misaligned wheels, a leaking gas tank, and a shattered windshield.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (DISCLAIMER: I am not trying to offend anyone and I am just giving an honest review). Battlefield V tries to be a accurate depiction of World War 2 and it fails. The war stories are really shallow and it is quite clear that it is trying to push a feminist agenda. And I am not angry because women are in the game, just take a look at Battlefield 1. It includes a woman in the story and everyone is fine with it because there is a REASON. The only reason I have not rated Battlefield V a 2 is because of the multiplayer. The mechanics have been refined and the progression system is good. There was also quite a variety of maps at launch. I would be damned if I did not mention all of the bugs. They were a big problem for the game at launch and even though it mostly has been fixed you can still spot a couple of bugs that have not been fixed. Overall I would recommend Battlefield V for people who just like to shoot at other people in Multiplayer but for the single player lover this is a huge NO.

    As Battlefield has progressed you can see how hard they 'try' to give you the best experience possible in a first person shooter. Unfortunately they have crammed so much in that it's become a beautiful tragedy.

Unfortunately they have crammed so much in that it's become a beautiful tragedy. None of the levels feel epic or have any main focal point to fight over, this is probably done so that there's pockets of fighting all over the map. The problem then with console gamers who don't use their headpieces, there's total lack of team work, making the experience scatty.

    The ability to build fortresses is a great idea but has never really proved itself to be a valuable part of the gameplay and in many cases seems pointless as maps generally are too open.

    The UI outside of the game is sluggish and in-game feels overdone, you can reduce the HUD which is always a welcome touch.

    In BFV The guns feels so restricted, I don't know if it's because of the era i.e. WW2 or it's just that they don't feel weighted, or tactile. I remember playing previous games and wanting to shoot my rifle to hear the sounds, see the bullets drop and hit walls far away. Now there's none of that atmosphere which separated it from other games like COD.

    With these great explosions, sounds and detail, it seems to have turned the game into a cinematic you feel detached from.

    It all feels like you are being pulled in one direction with the Battlefield franchise and have no way of creating your own experience and in turn, is taking all the excitement away.

Eventually, it just got boring and firestorm was good as dead, Averaging at least 10-30 minutes to just find people searching for firestorm which you weren't even guaranteed to find a full lobby. Later on down the track, this game started becoming fun. I was a big plane fanatic using the overpowered Stuka B-2 with the twin cannons which were eventually nerfed and the still crazy up2 date Mosquito with the 4000kg Bomb. I can say that this game really does have its fun moments and the times were you just die and respawn over and over again but nothing less to say, The campaign.

    The masterpiece of battlefield 5. You start off fighting on different fronts in each participating country of ww2 in the prologue. Starting from parachuting into an enemy gunfight to utilising a tank and plane which in my opinion was great. Though this is where it kinda let down. As much as each of the cutscenes were amazing and had lots of emotion to it, It really felt like you were just running around for hours killing Ai's and not really going through a story. For example the mission where you have to take out enemy stukas stored in a hanger you had to traverse across the entire map taking out radars and run around for atleast 2 hours. As im a trophy hunter i had to complete this game on veteran and it was just painful completing boring missions. Though the stealth missions were amazing and the last tiger story was one of my favourite storys of all time.

    Multiplayer is just what it is at the moment there is really nothing you can do. There are some things i would change to guns including the Type2A. As i have played this game since launch overpowered guns are just something that ruin the fanbase. Dont get me started on the Model 37 Shotgun i could ramble on for hours.

    Lastly, this game has its sparks with the campaign and the heartfelt storyline that it presents to us players but there is just so much bad stuff done in this game as listed above. At the end of the day, I would give this game a 4/10 but being generous as I still play this game to today I'm giving this a 6/10 as it's somewhat enjoyable. Ignoring the fact I've deleted it twice out of pure rage

    EA sure rolled the DICE with Battlefield V bwahaha...but seriously what a disappointment.

    Run-n-gun like you're in World War 2: Gun-play is fluid, character movement is smooth most of the time and every gun shoots-n-feels unique. The immersion though is unmatched with BFV having you move-n-feel like a soldier fighting in World War 2. You do have your typical shooter problems though

    Gun-play is fluid, character movement is smooth most of the time and every gun shoots-n-feels unique. The immersion though is unmatched with BFV having you move-n-feel like a soldier fighting in World War 2.

    You do have your typical shooter problems though like the many hit-markers and spawn issues in MP, i also found mounting over walls can get irritating and ruin your flow of movement. The gun balancing could be a issue especially with the weapon mods which it feels like BF is slowly crawling towards being like Call of Duty.

    Can i have the rest of my game please?:
    Long gone the days where AAA First Person Shooters have a solid Campaign.
    So much is locked away until "given date" - way to value your Day 1 buyers, War Stories is a short-n-disappointing experience and that's it...with the rest of the other options being Multiplayer.

    Art & Sound team did there job:
    The game is visually impressive, the map design in both War Stories and Multiplayer are gorgeous. Explosions are heavy and hearing the gunfire in the distance and yelling soldiers helps with the immersion, the small things though like screaming soldiers from being blown up or asking for a medic provides some realism but also a little laughter.

    A few hiccups here and there:
    Loading screen times are okay, the A.I. in War Stories though is quite bad, servers are stable as of now and as for bugs, there have been a few I've come across but nothing game-breaking. Menus look clean but can get confusing when navigating.

    Multiplayer barely holds up:
    Battlefield's Squad-Play is still the most beneficial way to play Multiplayer.
    The maps are beautiful to look at it but are horrible to play in with the exception of a couple, the Multiplayer modes haven't improved much and even the newly named "Grand Operations" doesn't capture the same magic as Operations did from BF1.

    Now for Vehicles, I was also hoping to see some serious dogfight battles or opportunities but never got it, there are a few vehicles but they almost felt like they were tacked on, Tanks almost feel pointless here, Battlefield V feels like it has strayed far from what it once was.

    The Good:
    + Immersive experience +2
    + Gun-play works smoothly +1
    + Beautiful looking maps +1

    The Bad:
    - War Stories is lackluster -1
    - Multiplayer has taken a step backwards here -1

    The Ugly:
    - Barebones content, especially on Day 1 [and still to this day] -2

    Battlefield V gets a V/10 from me:
    I don't know where this franchise is heading and with the games current state, i don't see myself sticking around long enough for the future content.

    Technically speaking is beautiful. Nothing to argue there. Maybe a little bit too many lighting effects can bother you when aiming down sight but other than this, it's visually and functionally a masterpiece.
    The problem is about the gameplay. To date, basically all game modes are dead but deathmatch, conquest and breakthrough, very little else. It is sad because the game has many interesting modes but apparently it doesn't incentive players playing them.
    Balance issues with vehicles in particular aircrafts in general: it's very simple they are too powerful and ruin the game. I really hope they will eventually decide to completely remove them from future installments of the franchise, helicopters are more counterable but they must be kept in check to avoid the same stuff happening in BFBC2 or 3. They simply sink out the fun from the vast majority of the players in favour of very few skilled pilots, which with the tools at our disposal too often seem to be impossible to take down. I think that the game should be enjoyed by everybody not just a small portion of the player base.
    TTK is actually fine, it is in my opinion a good balance between reaction time and aiming even tho the weapon become less effective very quickly at longer distances. The problem with the weapons is that classes are very "rigid", set in stone, with very little customization, there are more flexible ones (assault) and more limited/straightforward (recon, medic). You have for the most part stick with the weapon of your class and there are no "free for all classes" weapons like it used to in the previous title. Weapon themselves are very little customizable, with a lot more effort being put in the cosmetic side of things rather than the practical one. The result is that progressing through the weapons unlock is not really rewarding,you unlock perks rather than actual weapon parts, so there is no actual way to say for example, set a custom stock, longer or shorter barrel, somewhat of a silencer (it's hard I know it's ww2 after all)... nothing like that. Dull, and boring.
    Ultimately because of the sheer amount of explosions, vehicles and number of players the game is really too chaotic at times, and even if it manages to draw a very nice portrait of what fighting during ww2 was like, game wise it becomes too easy to die from random stuff happening at the same time.
    64 players at the same time maybe a lot of fun at first but probably 32 or 48 is better if you want to have a minimum of a tactical approach. You can theoretically search for 32 game lobbies but there are basically none which is again, kind of a shame.
    I think that the franchise should focus more into making more "guerrilla warfare" games rather than world war scale, in order to reduce the amount of randomness happening into the game. A new Battlefield is very close to the announce, let's hope for the best.

    Draw-back: Still lots of bugs, not a ton of content on launch with only two factions and not a ton of weapons and equipment to choose from, campaign is very short and the stories are uninteresting and are historically inaccurate (a woman did not stop the Germans from developing nukes on skis, complete misrepresentation of a huge historical event).

    Overall it's a good game, I just really hate EAs political agenda, I recommend avoiding this game because of the politics.

    The rest of the game may be good, but missing 50% of the content at start is also something the games industry shouldn't be allowed to do anymore. A 60€ game should be working without a plethora of patches and feature completion months after release.

    Despite it's competence, I find Battlefield V to be a dull FPS game, mostly because most of the game's content is geared towards multiplayer. There are only three story missions that are all approximately 2 hours in length (giving you about 6 hours of campaign), but two of these rely heavily on stealth, which is something the Battlefield franchise is NOT about.

    - UX is something DICE never heard of. Menus are not intuitive and take long to navigate. Configuring every class for both sides is a choir - battlelog was a lot better than this.
    - Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs - I've had one team on server suddenly not be able to revive, flying tanks, objects hovering in the air, unkillable enemies, flickering textures
    - Maps are bad. And I mean really bad - they are beautiful but hardly playable - a lot of clutter with a lot of open spaces. Again: VISIBILITY is sacrificed for a fancy visuals. It's bad for multiplayer game. Look at: CS GO, Overwatch, Fortnite - those games have extremely good visibility and that makes them so good. In BF: V for most of the time you are wondering if it's some fancy map decoration or proned camper from other team.
    - "How did I die this time?" - Is a question you will be asking yourself a lot. Game gives no information what is going on, who made damage to you, where was he when it happened. Compared to COD killcam it's a joke (because it's nonexistent) and done probably to hide bad netcode (later on that) and growing problems with hackers (whoever plays bf1 knows what i'm talking about). You will die many times mostly not knowing how - just get used to it.
    - Informational chaos - game hides important information from you (hidden kill-feed, no info on how you got killed) but feeds a lot of totally not necessary information (something about your squad leader being changed, something about progression in achievement, something about community event will find its way to your display)
    - Lack of content - Maps that are here are not only bad but also scarce. I guess EA clearly goes for a long term Origin Premium model and wants to spoon-feed content so people stay interested and pay for subscription for as long as possible. There are not that many guns in game and there is no deep customization for them anymore.
    - Inconsistent netcode - Again you die in a milisecond. Again you can try to hit enemy that is further than high refresh bubble and nothing will happen. Guess that just comes with inventory.

    I realize that games change and evolve and now single-player campaigns take a back (or non-existent) seat to the multiplayer, but the missions here feel like an afterthought. Also, no co-op?
    The core of the multiplayer action is still really great, which is why I scored it a five. I love the squad dynamics, and the sights and sounds are just amazing. Play this game with nice headphones on, it's a treat.
    However those graphics and sound are paired with abyssal load times. Multiple load screens go by, and often I think the game has frozen, that's how long they take. Even things that should be quick, like exiting a game, take way too long.
    On top of that, the matches take FOREeeeeeVER. Way too long. Even if I'm having a great game and on the winning side, it still gets old. For me, fifteen minutes tops is max length for a match, not forty plus. Often the battle will be lopsided, so you'll know you're going to lose for a solid ten minutes of play. I miss the mid-match events in Battlefield 1 to try and sway momentum back, like the zeppelin and armored train.
    Corners were cut all over; The character options are wafer thin. You're either a man or a supermodel, Brit or Nazi. I liked how they used various character options in Battlefield 1 depending on the theater of war, but here it's always Brits vs Nazis, and they use the same guns. Honestly it feels like a free-to-play game in terms of characters.
    Overall this sadly follows the trend of AAA games being rushed out to deadline even though they're half-baked. This isn't a $60 game, it should be $30, tops.

    Review will be centered around the multiplayer. It's battlefield, what do you expect.

    As of 2020 after they announced EA is dropping support of the game.
    All save one piece of content is out.

    Most battlefields tend save Hardline show you what you're in for by the first few days if not hours, of playing in the game. Which so far, seems to be the case for BFV. It is a very stressful and overall extremely unsatisfying experience further marred by shotty progression and TONS of micro-transactions. However, it does have some positive gameplay additions and mechanics, but unfortunately all the good things this game has are in the single digits, while all the negatives are in the double digits.

    One thing of note but not worth its own mention is the game isn't as buggy in the current state as Hardline and BF1 were by the end of their lives. And granted those games were actually pretty bad, this is less than desirable and just still be admonished as it followed the same timeline of being a buggy mess at launch.

    Pros:

    Crouch sprinting:
    This was so minor and sometimes, and sometimes so fluid that I didn't realize I was crouch sprinting instead of normal sprinting. It has a very slight movement speed decrease, but this was an amazing addition that is very well appreciated and I do hope it returns in future games.

    Gameplay reticle customization:
    Amidst the tons of debris, extremely bright environments, dust, and lens flare the option to change the color of all your indicators is something that can not be understated and should also return future installments.

    Immersion:
    For once in a battlefield game, you can be immersed for the most part as soldiers react to their states and have call outs and such, and actually have personality in their voices which makes the game itself a much more enjoyable experience.

    And that's it. The rest the game does well, was just improving systems the last game did first. Therefore it isn't worth a mention here.

    Cons: Too damn many.

    Hit Marker ping:
    This game's pings are EXTREMELY misleading. It gives such a heavy sound for a hit that could do only 10 HP which gives a false impression that you're doing heavy damage and thus for players who rely on sound and counting the amount of pings so you can quickly switch to the next target, it'll get you killed because you did FAR less damage than you think you are.

    Guns:
    The guns themselves feel all sorts of stupid. The assault class able to snipe, the snipers able to play the role of assault with weapons that for all intents and purposes should not be used that way is ridiculous. Even worse since some snipers have an absurd rate of fire that one would be forgiven for thinking it is a semi auto AR. And the fact that semi autos can fight from mid to long range is absurd given they do not suffer from damage drop off.

    Gun firepower:
    Much like the guns themselves, despite having set damage values, it never truly feels accurate. Landing a dozen headshots on someone with an SMG on their head and they still live yet two shots to the body from a semi and you're dead first? A flaw that's been present in most BF games, but still an atrocious one that needs to be ironed out.

    Gun Customization: While I'm all for liberties in the sake of fun, allow sights of all ranges to be attached to any gun on top of the overall no logic damage and range with no drop off, makes the idea of getting shot from across the map with a semi one of the most frustrating things to ever experience in a shooter and makes it one of the worst games of the genre as some guns suffer from drop off and some don't. Everything in the game is inconsistent and that's frustrating beyond belief.

    Women:
    I support representation to any group so long as it doesn't conflict with the game itself.
    But this is something I simply cannot overlook because of the setting, and the fact of how jarring and immersion breaking it is.

    Hearing men's cries as they die left and right is immersive to what wars could be like, but when you know that women were NOT front-line fighters, and their voices are yelling and shouting alongside the men completely shatters any immersion the game could give you to the WW2 setting because it's inaccurate and serves no purpose other than pandering. And the bad kind too.

    Alongside that, their models are odd. As they are well, women, their models are more slender and frankly much more lowkey, where you can shoot a man around a pillar because he's buff, you cannot to a woman as she is 100% concealed even though they share the same stances, it messes with gameplay in a way that is very noticeable and is rather annoying. Ignoring the blatant disregard of historical accuracy, with their already gameplay liberties.

    Conclusion: Overall, BFV is a very weak game. Which disregards its setting, and then panders to a demographic that ends up pissing off its fans. One of the worst shooters made to date with nothing exceptional to its name.

    If you learned history from playing Assassin's Creed and expect to learn WWII history here, that's not gonna happen.
    There are no black Nazis in the game.

    The game play is fun and I think a solid step up from BF1 but not at it's greatest. Random deaths from indirect fighting is taken down a lot and spotting is changed to make paying attention more crucial. Weapon balance is still a problem among guns but the gap among guns are not so bad that you'll only see one gun throughout the game. An attrition mechanic was added and you'll find yourself dying to running out of ammo or not being able to heal if you're not careful. It's makes it very punishing if you are lacking specific classes in your group. Very specific play styles restrain the classes to play a very particular way. Little tactical advantages classes offer through their gadgets are now demanded. It's a weird direction BF decided to take. Some like it, others hate it. I think it damaged the game a little.

    The game is not stable. There are a lot of bugs that will make you have to restart the game. Bugs get fixed, but then another springs up from the corner. It will piss you off. You will have to put up with game breaking **** It hurt the game a lot.

    The BFV atmosphere and environment is pretty good. A lot of people worried that it was going to be a downgrade like the wackiness of Advanced Warfare in the COD series. This game still feels like BF. It's not as subtle, but it still holds the "war and just war" theme. No mic screaming shenanigans. You get a close kill, and worry about the other things going on. It looks very similar to BF1. There is probably just a small step up, but I think we're getting close to the pinnacle of what things will be looking like.

    The amount of content you get may not feel much. I purchased the game on sale for 20 dollars and I say it was worth 20 bucks, maybe 30 but not anymore. There is only the British and German army but a decent amount of maps. There are good weapon varieties, definitely more than BF1. There is no premium pass (yet) so thanks for that. There is a seasonal Tide of Wars that add more weapons and outfits, but no new map of yet. There are a lot of things you can customize about your gun and people. It adds to the progression of things which works well. I feel sure that they'll continue adding stuff, for how long I do not know. You'll get your money worth for 20 bucks, that's for sure.

    Don't play the single player.

    All in all, it's an okay game. There is a lot of bugs, content is lacking, and the balance is kind of irritating. But it's fun. I wouldn't recommend it completely, but if you're curious about it, you will have some fun.

    The campaign, despite being so short with only 4 stories each having 3 missions lasting approximately 8hrs in total, was very repetitive and the stories themselves weren't the best. I found that too much of the campaign was encouraging stealth, when the stealth gameplay wasn't the best. I would much rather if the majority of the campaign was focused around big battles and open warfare as that's when the gameplay did really shine. Instead, much of the campaign is spent alone where stealth was really the best option. It was only in the 3rd chapter 'Tirailleur' that you get the opportunity to fight alongside your fellow troops in a more familiar open warfare setting, and that along with the more captivating story made this chapter easily the best in my opinion.

    One annoyance I had though was that much of the dialogue in these missions was told during the missions in the native language of the chapter's protagonist. This was fine for the first chapter which had an English protagonist, but the subsequent chapters all featured non-Enlgish speaking characters. Reading the subtitles, while trying to play got very annoying and I definitely missed a few lines. I just feel like it would be better to have all the dialogue in English, or avoid having any dialogue during the gameplay to make it easier to understand.

    My final complaint about the campaign is that until the final chapter (which was added post-launch), there are no missions that even encourage using any kind of vehicles. I would've loved a flight based mission but instead all you get is 1 or 2 opportunities to hop in a plane which I didn't even find very useful for what the missions required. I just feel like the vehicles in the game could've been utilised more to spice up the campaign and a vehicle-based mission could've easily replaced a stealth section in one of the first 3 chapters to reduce the restiveness that these missions suffered with.

    Overall, I thought the multiplayer was a lot better than the campaign, though that's to be expected with a Battlefield game. That said, I think it still had a few problems.

    I found that the squad system was quite a nice feature, but for solo players who would be less coordinated, I feel like they are put at a bit of a disadvantage. Ammo is quite limited as well as med kits (health regenerates quite slowly on its own) and without coordinating with your team you can be left in a bad situation if you lack medics or support classes for example. These classes have the ability to restock your med kits and ammo respectively, and with a coordinated squad I think this opens up for a bit of strategic planning but as a solo player it could just lead to frustration if your squad mates don't play with you or if you play the same classes.

    In terms of game modes, BFV offers a good selection of different activities. Unfortunately, at my time of playing, the multiplayer population had dropped off quite a bit. I could still find games for every mode, but for the less popular ones it could take a while. Therefore, I spent the majority of my time playing Grand Operations and Strategic/Tactical Conquest. I found all of these modes quite fun, with Tactical conquest being my favourite. This mode was a more infantry based mode, with less/no vehicles and the maps tended to be more closed. I quite liked this, since it was a bit easier for me as a solo player to play with my teammates. On the larger maps in Grand Operations or Strategic Conquest, I just felt like it was easy to feel very separated from your team. That might just be because I'm more used to smaller scale shooters though. I do appreciate the choice to separate the modes like this, as it made it easy for someone like me who doesn't love the vehicle combat to avoid it.

    Overall, the multiplayer was just fine for me. It didn't offer anything special in my opinion but it did a pretty good job at being an enjoyable shooter I could waste a couple of hours on. For anyone considering buying BFV at this point I honestly wouldn't really recommend it. If you enjoy shooters, chances are you've already played better games than this and if you rarely play shooters, I feel like there are much better games you can get for the same price or cheaper.

    If you have redeemed BFV on PS Plus and are on the fence about playing though, I would recommend giving it a go. Like I said, it's a good game to waste a few hours on and I would say it's worth playing through the last 2 chapters of the campaign at least.

    The game is pretty fun if you have a full squad of 4 people all working together.. Otherwise, it is probably the worst battlefield game outside of Hardline. Instant deaths from every direction.. You're hardly ever fighting the person who kills you. Camping is on a Call of Duty level. Enemy visibility might as well be zero.. Everybody blends into everything resulting you dying to somebodyThe game is pretty fun if you have a full squad of 4 people all working together..

Camping is on a Call of Duty level. Enemy visibility might as well be zero.. Everybody blends into everything resulting you dying to somebody you didn't even know was there. It just lacks so much in the skill department.. There might be some new players who like it because they can succeed because they can camp or shoot people in the back constantly, but people looking for a skillful shooter will be disappointed. 5/10. I had fun for a little bit.. when I had a full squad we had several good nights of battlefield.. otherwise it's complete trash. Expand

    It's surprisingly bad. I love Battlefield, but this plays like development restarted a month ago. It's a little shocking, that it plays like a test run for some future game --like maybe the actual "game" part comes out next year (maybe with Battle Royal mode). It play like two developers hated each other and this is their compromise for an initial starting point. My favorite game modeIt's surprisingly bad.

It play like two developers hated each other and this is their compromise for an initial starting point. My favorite game mode Operations were scratched ("Grand" operations is just a generic mixed gamemode --e.g. you actual play conquest), player movement is lightning fast (which feels again like pre-support for BR). No co-op, no medic dragging bodies, "fortifications" are stationary and perfunctory, WIDE open maps (like WIDE), ridiculous balance issues (seriously, like crazy ridiculous over the top, did-anyone-play-this balance issues), and worst of all --it's just sorta boring. There's no oomph, there's no theme to it, it looks like asset flip territory (especially player models), the sound is more generic, the pickups are tad immersion breaking. Every map feels like afternoon brunch, just the middle of the day, like you half expect to see a couple picnicking. This isn't necessarily all that bad (maybe it'll get better), but for now it definitely feels like a shell of a game. Either a funding cut, or the game had a complete recent overhaul. Just not good.

    In many ways, Battlefield V feels like a big step backwards for the franchise. The campaign is boring and frustrating, multiplayer is unbalanced, and bugs keep popping up in every mode to ruin the experience. The fortification system is a good shakeup, but the good it brings is tempered by the cumbersome and murky Grand Operations. With some patches, balance changes and bug squashing, BFV could be a fantastic game, but at the moment, this soldier needs to go back to basic training.

    EA and DICE seem to have lost sight of what made this series a true contender for the FPS crown, and both the gameplay and the content are suffering as a result.

    Ripe with potential but riddled with problems, the new Battlefield will be brilliant six months from now. Right now, however, it’s merely a good shooter. [Issue#157, p.83]
