    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.    … 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

    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.

    Battlefield V is a solid game. It tries something new by introducing the attrition system whereby ammo is short supply and health doesn’t regenerate on it’s own. It takes a little bit of playing to get used to it and is an ok change.

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    I'm a huge fan of Battlefield series, but this was a very underwhelming and disappointing game I've ever experienced. It has bugs and laggy while playing war stories. Some of them were pretty good in my opinion, but it needs more experienced and changeable. The multiplayer is a bit slow and boring, but I enjoyed it though. I gotta be honest... Battlefield 1 is way better than this game.

    EA made game mechanics much more better than BF1. Tactics, shooting recoil and beautiful maps are good features of this game. But plenty of bugs and lack of content isn't satisfying at all :( Another disappointment is the atmosphere of this game. As I think, this game doesn't match the atmosphere of the WW2. But as a team shooter it is rather 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.
