    The new update adds so much more fun. Also the weapons are fun to use and veichels feel balanced. My only problem is the war stories aren't as good as battlefield 1

    The last real Battlefield game. So sad DICE has skipped developing more content for BF2042. They should have gave us more content before killing the franchise.

    The game is very immersive and just straight up fun. the only reason its not 10 is because in every match there's that one guy running around with a katana killing everyone. that ruins the emersion.

    I expected a bad game (since it has 2.3 User Score on this website). But honestly, it's a pretty good Battlefield game.

The gameplay has some new aspects and tweaks on the formula, one of the most annoying being how to enter vehicles (you actually have to stand next to the door in order to enter a vehicle through that door). The 'Firestorm' game mode was completely abandoned when I tried searching for a session. So don't buy Battlefield V expecting to play Firestorm.… Expand

    Great gunplay, great sound and visuals. awesome maps. If you loved bf1942 you would love this. Ignore all the politically led **** and strip it down to gameplay - well worth the buy. It’s a shame in June 2020 DICE have stopped investing/adding new content to the game.

    Look we're all here for the multiplayer, and playing it in 2020 when team deathmatch has 19 fantastic maps, conquest is still reliably fun. This is far and above a more interesting and dynamic FPS than CoD. The campaign bits are fine but short and sweet, not really worth it. I'm pretty much rating this on the quality of the great multiplayer.

    As a hardcore conservative, it really pisses me off about all the stuff SJW's ruined. but hey, i'm happy people are actually seeing this and saying something. However, as a game, I think it's exactly what you would expect from a Battlefield game. Very fun, large scale warfare. Definitely deserves better than what the haters are giving it.

    Battlefield 5
    a great attention to detail
    I was hooked on battlefield 1 5 years ago, so I of course had to check out battlefield 5 and watch them hopefully execute further on their war stories single player campaign.. this time around I didn’t care much for the multiplayer… I don’t know if recent advancements have just made me less patient in the multiplayer world, but here in    Battlefield 5
    a great attention to detail
    I was hooked on battlefield 1 5 years ago, so I of course had to check out battlefield 5 and watch them hopefully execute further on their war stories single player campaign..
    this time around I didn’t care much for the multiplayer… I don’t know if recent advancements have just made me less patient in the multiplayer world, but here in batt;efield 5 it feels like spawn die spawn die.. worse than recent call of dudtys.. but the time it takes to actually get back in the game makes battlefield 5 multiplayer from firestorm, to the modes youre used to just frustrating to play through for me… so I pushed that to the side and just focused on its 5 and a half hour long campaign..
    And thankfully the campaign here is beautiful.. so much attention to detail here… and a nice varity when it comes to the levels as you go across 5 different war stories… all with different languages.. so sadly if youre like me and hate subtitles.. you don’t relaly have a choice here if you want to know whats going on… I love that battlefield 5 at least tried to deliver a unique experience in each of the 5 stories.. but not nearly as much as battlefield 1… all 5 stories stuck out here.. but mostly for its setting aside for a snow level whee you get to travers with skiis, really having me wishing for a first person ssx game… but in terms of level design overall, all 5 chapters felt pretty identical, same objective, different location.. g oacross this open map, make stuff explode, rinse repeat with some cutscenes in between… I feel like dice needs to really take note from the call of duty team with their recent emphasis on variety throughout their campaigns… at times battlefield 5 does feel like its delivering mini first person shooter games inside one world… but most of the time, it all feels too familiar, having you wanting it to just be over alredy, rather thaan feeling like wow, what an amazing 5 stories like they did last time..
    Overall im kind of over battlefield multiplayer, but as far as its singplayer goes, I really hope dice hone in on this, and delivers us more fleshed out mini stories, that don’t feel so copy and paste when it comes to objectives and delivery. I feel like this could help with the constant immersion breaking return to combat area countdown . its fine every once in a while, but constantly being told to get back in a quote unquote open world setting, just shows a lack of care when it comes to designing your experience.. it feels like a bandaid forcing you to be in the spot the game wants you to be in, rather design doing its job of keeping you there.
    I havnt given up on this series yet, and at least for its war stories, Ill have a reason to keep coming back.

    After the total fails about BF1 my expectations was very very very low about BFV, with beta don't look better, my beta experience was shot and really not good. As war games fan I start play the final version released on 20, and had a great surprise, final game has great game play, speed and gameplay mechanics, feels as good as BF4 or BF3.

    Bad:
    I still dislike any graphic details, after 5 Dec patch gets a lot better and fix some visual glitches (my glitches as PS4 player was only in graphics) and get better.

    Good:
    Greal good gaming experience
    Great speed connection speed living in an Caribbean country
    Good Visual customisations
    Good Game modes

    Overall, this is the game that I was expecting receive when I bought BF1, definitely recommended, Some bad reviews are based on hate, beta or COD lovers, then, take your time, play few hours of game (online) and make your own opinion.    … Expand

    This is mostly a review of the multiplayer aspect of this game, which really is all I've ever played of any BF game.

Super brief comment on the campaign, yes it's short and no I didn't think it was that horrible. Now as far as multiplayer goes I feel that it is a really great installment. There are a lot of bugs but when there's that much coding and unique situations I kind of expect it as games get more and more complex. My initial review of the negative reviews of this game (after filtering out people that don't actually own the game and are just posting negativity) seem to be in one of two categories of hating, hate on the inclusion of other races and genders other than white men and hate on the "lack of outfits and weapons". I'm not going to get too far into the why does it matter if you can play as a woman, asian, or black person but I really don't think this that big of a deal. Also weapons have specialization trees that you can work through after leveling them to upgrade and customize the weapon itself so even though there are limited number of weapons you can specialize them which creates unique weapons for each player, which to me effectively offset the initial lack of weapons.

    There are a decent number of maps and I like what they did with the weapon specializations creating a more customized play for each class. So far I see a lot of really upset people freaking out, hating, and bashing the franchise for including women, black people, and asians in the game play which is really... really.. REALLY.. concerning with regards to the status of our world in general. Moving on there's a lot of customization you can do for each person and you unlock outfits by performing well and progressing through the assignments. An example is medic, which is by far my highest leveled role at about 15, I now get additional medic assignments unlocked that give me new outfits and I can also choose the camo/color pattern for them so that's cool and makes them feel like there are more than there are, there's probably about 10 outfits consisting of pants, hat/helmet, and torso which then some have 5 or so color options. I don't think that there are really that many limited outfits between the color combos and the variety of outfits that seems like just as many as they've ever had initially.

    The multiplayer system is essentially the same as almost every other battlefield but with new maps and setting/theme. I don't get why so many people are bashing the multiplayer when it has been just as fun as it always has been. I like that they made a lot of changes to the mechanics of the ballistics for the recon class as well, not going to spoil them you'll just have to figure it out. Overall I would say most people do not buy these games anymore for campaign mode(COD included which essentially has absolutely no campaign now) and just play it for multiplayer. I would give them an 8/10 for this and say it's worth it if you liked the already well established battlefield multiplayer experience.    … Expand

    Bad Marketing release aside, this is actually a very good game. Combat feels skill based and not as grenade spammy as BF1.

Now multiplayer, let's get down to the mode people actually buy this game for. Yes there are women, yes there are minorities (but not in the Axis unlike CoD WW2, but yeah sure DICE is evil revisionist history). Despite the massive marketing flubs that EA/DICE made this is the most fun I've had with a battlefield title in a while. The gunplay is smooth and we are getting plenty of new weapons, yes some of them made appearances in BF1 but they all feel different. I waiting to write this review until Tides of War started, there are some bug issues but DICE is doing an amazing job of communicating with the community about what they are doing and when to expect patches. As far as Tides of War goes it is fun, it gives you custom cosmetics, new weapons and outfits, dog tags, emblems and all sorts of stuff, it also gives you some interesting challenges that can help you broaden your play style. I paid $100 CAD for the deluxe, with the sale that's on now I say buy it! You are going to get a ton of game play out of the most solid shooter experience dice has put out in a while.

    Live service - did it release with all intended content for the life of the game? No, instead we get a roadmap for content and we are looking at additional game modes, weapons, factions, locations and vehicles over the course of the games lifespan. DICE has done a great job of being engaging with the community and transparent in what we can expect and when we can expect it and it looks like this game is going to have a great future.

    If you are offended that there are women and minorities, if that is what bothers you the most about this game, honestly the community right now is the best state I've seen a battlefield community in in a while (on PS4) and we're probably better off without you.    … Expand

    Not historically accurate.
    Gameplay doesn't deviate from past Battlefields.
    Ignores whole regions of WW2.

    But it is still fun. Sure running around on a 'front line' consisting of 80% women models isn't accurate, but I've enjoyed if more than past battlefield games.

    Its still 1000x better than Blackops 4.

    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.
