    Completely average in every possible way. I'd recommend saving your money and sticking to an older title that still has a player base, plenty of Black friday deals I'd reckon.
    This is not Battlefield anymore, it's a reskinned Battlefront but some how a less fun game. Even COD is better than this game. Hell overwatch is more fun. Wait for sale or buy something else that is reviewed better.

    Looks like SJWs think the tactis of the alt-right like "alternative facts" and "fake news" are ok when done by "the good people for the good cause"?
    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.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    It's surprisingly bad. I love Battlefield, but this plays like development restarted a month ago.

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.… Expand

    The graphics, sound design and atmosphere are excellent. However, the gunplay wasn't as tight as Battlefield 1. The loading times are too long and the game although excellent overall lacks that novelty factor.

    - Terrible visibility in every aspect of a game: you don't see enemy in front of a wall, you can't pick enemy in tons of garbage, it's hard to read deploy map to see what's going on, kill feed is disabled by default taking away crucial information
    - 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.    … Expand

    Battlefield has always been my multiplayer shooter of choice. I played hundreds (and hundreds) of hours of Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3, didn't really love 4, thought 1 was heading back on the right track, and now V comes along and it's the worst I can remember.

    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.    … Expand

    BFV is a distinctly average game.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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

I pay for a product, not excuses or ''boo hoo me'' stories to make me feel bad about not liking a mediocre product I was sold and constant broken promises from Devs… Expand

And was primarily a scout, and I loved it. I am an EA access member and have played several hours since November 9th. Achieving almost max rank in this time. But Battlefield V has made the scout class nearly impossible to play, it has helped alot with the addition of the self loading rifles but there is nearly no advantages to using a bolt action rifle. There is no one shot kill to the body with any sniper and the headshot hit box is very difficult to land head shots consistently. I am sick and tired of being countersniped by the Gewer 43, LMGs and MGs, as I will pop out, hit a quick shot and get lasered immediately. Even at long, long range these guns seem to perform better as it often is just a contest of who can sling the most lead down range. Since there really isnt any penalty of getting hit as they can just heal up because as i said before it is very difficult to hit a head shot. To top this off the bolt actions have to scope out to reload the action, this gives the enemy time to just spam fire you and laser you. IMO if the devs arent going to add a one shot to the body, they need to add a flinch mechanic, because i dont think anyone is going to take a monster 7.62x57mm bullet to the chest and keep launching bullets down range without any penalty to their accuracy. And while i know video games arent designed to be super realistic and lifelike, as you could make many arguments of games not being realistic but this is just something that needs to be added to balance the classes. It seems like every engagement is the same, sniper is taking fire, lays a nice body shot, only to be lasered while scoping out, reloading the action, and scoping back in to deliver the kill shot. This could also be solved by making a straight pull option when choosing your weapon specializations, which is a action that does not require you to scope out to reload the action. This makes it very hard, as BF5 pushes snipers to play very aggressively, but gives it no tools to play this type of style. I just would love to see the scout class gain some ground in gun play, because as of now the Scout class is at such a disadvantage.
    Another side note, the Devs need to put in some form of Recital customization, because for players like me who absolutely hate the recitals, there isnt anything you can do about it.    … Expand

    Not sure where all of the hate comes from with this game. I've been playing the Battlefield games for years now and while the franchise does feel like it's gotten a bit stale, it still plays reasonably well.

There is a lot of free DLC coming so anyone complaining there are no Russian forces yet may want to chill out until the games cycle is complete. Yes, there are micro-transactions but they are purely cosmetic. Maybe that's the problem some people have with it? They can't sink $100 of mom and dad's money into weapons that will get them over their lack-of-skill hump. It's not World of Tanks, you have to try to succeed. I bet you anything that the people that are giving this game 0/10 are also playing it almost daily.… Expand

    I am not quite sure where all this hate for the game is coming from players.

    EDIT: Since playing this game for close to 40 hrs I have to confirm many of the other complaints and dropped my review from a 7 to a 5. The multiplayer maps are very limiting, and some are just plain bad. There are certain maps where the snow and dynamic lighting make it so you cannot even read the HUD on screen. Additionally, the class selection and weaponry is incredibly limited. I usually main a medic which I have reached level 20 in, and the fact that the only weapons I can select are SMGs with varying degrees of fire rate are incredibly disappointing. Sure I can slap on an ugly camo, but that is not enough regarding variety. Also, I am running into some significant bugs with actually reviving people, which is the same button as picking up their gear. Numerous time you pick up their weapon, they die, and cannot locate the original loadout to be gunned down in the process.    … Expand

    A lot of people tend to Jump on the EA hate train. Which I can understand. I think 6-7 Is a fair review and here Is my reason why.

    The worst part was at one point I literally thought I was playing BF1, there Is hardly any difference between the two whether It Is graphically, gameplay, customization, or layout. The Maps are plain,recognizable and In no way unique. We've seen all the vehicles and weapons 100 times over, there are many graphical glitches and historic Inaccuracies It hurts... This Is not a £50 game to put It out there.

    On the other hand, the shooting Is solid, the same as most BF games. It Is Immersive, you do feel Involved and there are rare magical moments, the graphics are spectacular (same as BF1) but there Is no soul In this game. Once you've played the game for a few hours, you've played It all near enough. There Isn't much to keep you occupied or to keep you thinking about It all day. To give the game a 1 or 0 Is ridiculous, but It Is a wait for sale purchase In my eyes.    … Expand

    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.    … 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.

    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]
