    The story side of this game is it's brighter side. The multiplayer side is where it falls. Weapons unbalanced and scattered fairly through the different roles. The balance between classes is improperly weighted and in turn makes a specific role shine over the others.

    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.    … Expand

    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. Where has the destruction innovation gone from past games?    … Expand

    It runs very well, but the problems lie in the lack of content as they cut the life-support of this game during its developement as a live service game and the cosmetics reduce the immersion the earlier titles in the franchise had.

The campaign is 3 stories too many and all feature the same garbage gameplay, some better than others, but all are trash. I beat the campaign at the standard medium difficulty, but here's the kicker......most people didn't. The trophy sits at a measly 10.0% unlock rate. Shame on you EA, shame on your whole design team for this. Now we know why you didn't include a campaign in Battlefield 2042. Go back to the drawing board, fire everyone who designed this laughable, pathetic excuse for a campaign. This game is a 5/10 simply for the graphics, story, and the fact that at least it's beatable, you just gotta have the patience for it.… Expand

    The most dissapointing game of the battlefield franchise I ever played. The matchmaking is slow, the games are not leveled. Just a few guns in the game, most of then reutilised of battlefied 1. The maps are poorly designed and scarce.
    The deluxe edition is a fraud, just ugly skins.

But In BF2042 I have a feeling that this good physics is gone, vehicles and aircraft just react too agressive it does not play and it does not look good at all. Also classic soldier class are gone! WHY ? This was one of the the best feature of the whole series, now the individual roles have become indistinct. Maybe this game will be better one day. But DEVS should be more interested by opinions of the players, now it's no wonder that Battlefield has lost so many fans.

As I thought it would be dead they revived the game base with a fun Pacific DLC which really showed out the battlefield franchise. 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    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    I got this game with PS Plus and for a 'free' game it was quite good but not nearly the standard that a battlefield game should be in my opinion.

    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.    … Expand

    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.
