    "Historically Accurate"

    What a joke of a videogame. I didn't expect anything from EA after their other relatively-recent titles, but it's as if they're TRYING to destroy what little good-will they have left with their original fanbase.

    Feels like the next installment of Call Of Duty than a Battlefield series game. Devs actively promote close quarter combat overall with design elements that are uncharacteristically geared towards chaos and punish users who want to coordinate and plan with teammates. If it wasn't for how beautiful some of these maps were I would give it a zero.

    Disrespectful trash. It is truly mind boggling how EA could release this game and not expect the immediate backlash. I've given them too many chances, I won't be supporting them in the future and I hope to see them either learn from this or more likely go under.

    I have nothing positive to say about a game that's made by people that actively insult their fanbase for pointing out that they're lying about historical events. The game is pure trash anyway. Buy it if you want to live in a fantasy world. For those looking for a good game that's historically accurate, this is NOT it!

I like the Battlefield series, but this one is the worst so far. It really feels like DICE and EA are just phoning it in with this installment. I historically play Battlefield games first for the single-player campaign and then multiplayer.

    This campaign is nearly broken. It is riddled with texture pop-in, assets clipping down straight through the floor and disappearing, and many other graphical glitches. The cutscenes regularly freeze entirely for 10 seconds or so, making me fear that the game has completely crashed. I come to expect these things with PC games, but for a console release from a "AAA" developer and publisher this is inexcusable.

    In addition to the graphical issues, the enemy AI is fundamentally broken. Enemies regularly stand facing away from me and do not even respond when shot, seemingly stuck in their animation. At other times an attacking enemy will for no reason simply stop, turn around and begin running in another direction shooting at imaginary other players who aren't even there.

    Lastly, the "artistic" license that DICE has taken with this "historical" shooter. I have always been very interested in WWII history and have watched nearly every documentary on the time period. It was a turning point in the way the countries of the world see each other, a time of great innovation and technological achievement, and above all else a time when nearly every free person in the world joined in a fight against a true evil. This evil had a name, and a face. The Nazi party, led by Adolph Hitler, nearly destroyed the world. And yet, in this "historical" shooter about world war II, the word "Nazi", the iconography of the Nazi party (i.e. swastikas, eagles, images of "Der Fuhror", etc...) are completely absent from the game, presumably not to trigger anyone who is uncomfortable with those kinds of things. Pandering to this audience does nothing to benefit our society, and censoring history, even in forms of entertainment, for the sake of someone's emotions is just silly.

    Not to mention the "creative" license that gives credit to the sabotage of a German heavy water storage facility to a fictional pair of women, while not even acknowledging the real men who died IN REAL LIFE making sure that Nazi Germany never developed a nuclear weapon.

    With all these issues, the game is by far the most disappointing Battlefield game I have ever played, and based on this experience I will definitely not be purchasing the next installment, if there is one.    … Expand

    I have 5 days of play time in this game and I am running out of reasons to carry on playing. I have tried to like it, I really have. I can look past the SJW stuff if the game is functional and fun, but it just isn't. The game is a chore to play. It seems that every update brings with it more problems, more game breaking bugs and more things the community did not want nor ever asked for.I have 5 days of play time in this game and I am running out of reasons to carry on playing. I have tried to like it, I really have. I can look past the SJW stuff if the game is functional and fun, but it just isn't. The game is a chore to play. It seems that every update brings with it more problems, more game breaking bugs and more things the community did not want nor ever asked for. Since launch, the game has suffered problems in virtually all departments, especially the sound, movement, and in-game visibility. Despite updates to address all these problems, they still persist.

    The game's lack of commercial success coupled with the loss of revenue due to the lack of a premium pass is worrisome for the future of this game and the Battlefield series as a whole. I fear because of these two reasons there will be less incentive on EA/Dice's part to see this game through to its conclusion. It already feels as though they've started to give up on it just months after release by pushing out generic updates that rarely add anything noteworthy, and in some cases even take the game back two steps.

    The maps are some of the most unremarkable I recall in the Battlefield series and they start to feel stale very quickly as a consequence. The only ones that I like are Devastation, Rotterdam and Arras. The others fall between mediocre and outright appalling.

    I reached rank 50 and unlocked pretty much everything I wanted after just 24 hours of playtime. That is not what I consider a good progression system if I ever saw one. Why not add more ranks, more skins, more costumes instead of wasting development time and budget on game modes that nobody plays or cares about, Dice? Better still, add more maps, factions and make this game feel like a WWII game, because it feels nothing of the sort at present. You hardly ever listen to what the fans want, Dice, and that's your biggest problem. The community says they want one thing and you give them the polar opposite. They want the core game fixed, not crappy game modes like squad CQ. Papering over the cracks by adding game modes like this does nothing to address the glaring problems your game has. Fix the important stuff and add the less important stuff later.

    The one positive I can give this game is that I find its gunplay more solid in comparison to a predecessor like BF1, but that isn't enough to save it. It is just too flawed with too many bugs, too many people lying prone with MMGs. Nobody moves around in this game. It is the campiest Battlefield game I have ever played, and Dice is partly to blame for designing their game in a way that encourages camping.

    I have hardly scratched the surface of everything I could list that I don't like about this game, but I will leave it there. in conclusion, I can't recommend this game as it currently stands. I wish I could but I can't.    … Expand

Overall though, this game punishes you for playing it. I almost always end up finishing gaming sessions after playing this feeling frustrated and angry at the game (not at other players). That does not happen to me in other games. Battlefield 5 is so broken it is not worth playing. It might be worth playing 6 months from now when they finish the base game. at that time I will play it and may change this review, but right now this game does not work how developers or players want it to work.… Expand

Weapon upgrades have little to no repercussions, causing way too many op builds.Medic is weak with and the smg force medic to be in more risk to revive because of how weak they are.

    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.
