    As a video game, battlefield 5 is a good game. Just as good as any of the other BF games. I'm giving the game a 5 because of EAs blatant disrespect to their fans and their obvious political agenda. Being progressive is great, but don't change history to include women in rolls they didn't participate in.

    Plusses: Graphics, sound design, and gameplay in general is great, just as good as

    Draw-back: Still lots of bugs, not a ton of content on launch with only two factions and not a ton of weapons and equipment to choose from, campaign is very short and the stories are uninteresting and are historically inaccurate (a woman did not stop the Germans from developing nukes on skis, complete misrepresentation of a huge historical event).

    Overall it's a good game, I just really hate EAs political agenda, I recommend avoiding this game because of the politics.

    Some of these reviews make me laugh...
    Bad Marketing release aside, this is actually a very good game. Combat feels skill based and not as grenade spammy as BF1.
    Customisation is good and not over the top. Its a joy to pilot a Spitfire and roll over enemies in a Panzer tank. To all the people wanting to know where the USA/USSR/Japan are- they're probably coming in DLC's Keep your hats

    I do not understand the 0 scores but then this is metacritic so I kind of do

    I have played every battlefield since BC2, this would be my 2nd favourite behind BF3. I tend to look at a game firstly through the 'is it fun' aspect, this is a fun game to play, the core mechanics are very solid, the guns feel weighty, the movement is decent maybe slightly too easy to get stuck on small objects.

    The single player mode is short but I enjoyed the French mission, does anyone buy BF games for the single player anyway?

    The multiplayer is short of a few maps but they will be adding more through the tides of war service, which is free. I know some people are saying they should have delayed until March so more content would be available, but we live in a right now world.

    I loved frontline from BF1 but to play it here you have to join an infantry focused server which rotates death match and domination, both not my cup of team.

    The multiplayer game is well balanced in my opinion, with each class having its place, spotting has been drastically scaled back, so flanking is much improved, the game has a more skill based tactical feel to it over BF1, Planes and Tanks feel powerful but not overpowered, this may change as people rank up and get very good at them. Not once (yet) have I been killed and didn't deserve it in some way. The better player will do better in this game. Thankfully there is way less explosive spam in this game over BF1, well so far anyway.

    Overall I am impressed with this game, the customisation is very in depth and the core mechanic are very good. Needs more maps and dedicated game type servers though.

    Overall the game is realy fun and makes important changes to spotting. The game does need a few maajor fixes such as being insta killed by an AA gun before you can jump. Dispite the bugs my friends and i are having alot of fun with the game and cant wait for the coming content

I'm really not sure what happened to to the DICE art department, when anything that's not a scanned object/texture from real life is incredibly poor by comparison to previous titles. There are obvious omissions of outlandish uniforms, but one can be assured they'll be there as normal and DICE paying Jack Frags read(badly) scripted lines about having a flamethrower battle pick up is something exciting we've not seen before ain't cutting the mustard. I mean after all this time...the DLC is only 3 Maps...not the 4 or 6 we got in the French/Russian DLC. Also...paying these youtubers to write a life story about how difficult it is to build and animate assets...don't mean squat to a customer. 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

    "Brainstorm to the next level !"

    I got into this game mainly because of Firestorm. But as I got the full I played through the other modes as well, Campaign and MP or as I like to call it, std. MP. I'm not that much of an MP guy and I mainly play TDM, so all I have to say about the std MP is that it is fun to me as I'm not really that much into it. About the Campaign, well, I saw a lot
    "Brainstorm to the next level !"

    I got into this game mainly because of Firestorm. But as I got the full I played through the other modes as well, Campaign and MP or as I like to call it, std. MP. I'm not that much of an MP guy and I mainly play TDM, so all I have to say about the std MP is that it is fun to me as I'm not really that much into it. About the Campaign, well, I saw a lot of complaints about cover art featuring a woman so I went to the Campaign expecting it would be a single story where I'd play as a woman in a WW II setting. Actually it's different from that. It is divided into 4 main stories which are independent of each otherand each featuring its own protagonist and guess, it's like only one of those stories, or rather war stories, feature a woman as a main character and the lady is actually convincing at least to me as a fighter. The Campaign is also a bit different from what I was accostumed, now it's like a little bit open world in some of the missions and you may use vehicles to traverse the area, and some of the missions themselves can be approached in more than one way which for me is a little bit of a sandbox added to it. Overall, an enjoyable Campaign, like for me that got it just for Firestorm and take that as almost like a bonus. Now slight spoilers, in one of those war stories you get to play as a Nazi, but as these stories seem to be based in reality you already know how it ends. But well, not sure which is worse , playing as a Nazi or play a game where Nazis have won WW II, your choice here. But the Nazi you get to play as is a rather good one. Now, before this ends up as a TLDR, if that hasn't already happened, let me finally talk just a little about Firestorm, the reason of me coming here.
    They won me in the early videos featuring the Ring of Fire, I thought it was really cool, and felt like I had to play the game just for that, I didn't want to to just look on the web I wanted to see it for myself, and now I have seen it as this mode released a few hours ago. What I have to say about it is that it's stunning, it looks very convincing and blends really well with this type of game. Now , looking back at the other BR games out there if you compare the Ring of Fire with what I'd call the "unsafe" zones in the other games, they look to me as afterthoughts compared to the Ring of Fire.This is the best "unsafe" zone I've seen in a BR game to date. I'm still early hours with Firestorm but so far I'd say it delivered my expectations and it's worth it just for the Ring of Fire. I don't know about other places but in my region this game is currently on sale for half the price so you get Firestorm and as I like to say the std MP and the SP, so it's like a 3-in-1 package.
    Now the only thing that might be like a downside to me so far is the water, like when you dive. And so, the inevitable comparison comes out this or Blackout? Well, the Collapse is not as strong as the Ring of Fire, but the water in Blackout just looks gorgeous. I'd even dare to say that it looks actually better than real water! And so, we come to the whole point of videogames, to deliver experiences that surpass those we can have in real life. Wow, that's deep, maybe even philosophical, I'm sounding like an inventive Dev, but let me tell you the truth, I'm no creative Dev, not even an indie one, I'm just a Modder, but a rather happy one as I always said long ago ... truly am :-)
    So, I guess the choice between Firestorm and Blackout comes down to choosing water or fire ...

    So there you have it, sorry for the TLDR text. And remember, the sale goes until tomorrow, enjoy the game.

    Update: Now having played Firestorm a little bit more, but still not much, I have to say that the exterior of the Ring looks so Hellish like some people describe it and like Apocalypse that it wouldn't be like a place one would like to find him/herself in. However, interestingly, the visual, the look of the Firestorm is so appealing that I often find myself tempted to enter it even if it's like a quick peek. Truly tempting.

    Update 2: Since the launch I've been doing nothing else but Firestorming. Today marks V Day since I started. From the text above I suppose it is apparent that my first impression of Firestorm was very good. And now, having spent more time with the game I'd like to add that I had a blast over the past week. I feel that I like the game more now than in launch day. Also, I think they bring new things to the already established BR formula. The most notable being the "massive" Firewall. Also nice are the destructible buildings and the artillery strikes. And there is more, but I won't details beyond that. Lastly, they extended the sale of this game, now it'll be live until next week (April 3rd, I think), so ... hurry! I want to keep playing it, but I probably go back to my backlog for now and try to divide my time between them. Nice game overall.

    Gun play feels fresh again, lesser players will get their kills, compared to bf1 this is in a whole new ballpark .
    Yes the trickle release of content is weird but at least it's not hidden behind a pass of sorts. The one big issue i have with BFV are the micro-transactions, not the worst in the industry but still not a fan.

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.

    Estoy probando el juego gracias al origin acces premier desde el dia 8 y quisiera hacer un analisis tambien en ps4 porque es la version que estoy jugando hace 2 dias gracias a mi hermano que cuenta con dicha consola:

    PUNTOS POSITIVOS:

    -El juego es una maravilla audiovisual, es un 10 en toda regla, porfavor necesitas probar por ti mismo los graficos de este juego porque aunque te los describa por 20 horas no haria justicia a lo que yo veo en mi pantalla

    -jugabilidad: es parecida a la del Battlefield 3 y eso le encantara a todos los veteranos de la saga, es increible como te mueves, en jugabilidad tambien supera al battlefield 1 como tambien en graficos, porque aqui te sientes como una bala y en el 1 te sentias con el tiempo algo lento

    -contenido: el contenido es escaso en el lanzamiento? Si un poco, casi lo mismo que battlefield 1 en su salida, solo que con 2 mapas menos, vamos, que a battlefield 1 nadie le critico el contenido pero ahora al V asi, la diferencia radica en que todo el contenido a futuro sera gratuito, por lo tanto si tenemos en cuenta esto, esto lo hace un videojuego a largo plazo un servicio, una aventura que cualquier amante del genero FPS, deberia probar OBLIGATORIAMENTE,

    PUNTOS NEGATIVOS:
    -Poco contenido al inicio, lo mismo que en battlefield 1, pero si tienes el 1 sabras perfectamente que como esta el juego ahora duraria minimo 1 año entero, pero con el contenido gratis a futuro este juego pinta para 3 años

    -algunos reciclados de battlefield 1, son minimo pero existen y te lo dice alguien que lleva jugado 20 horas con 2 cuentas con origin acces premier,

    CONCLUSION:

    9/10, pero en marzo de 2019 sera un 10/10 con todo el contenido que se viene, esta opinion lo dice alguien que critico a mas no poder al battlefield 4 por su penoso lanzamiento, trate de ser lo mas objetivo que pude, un saludo¡¡¡

I feel like this game is getting unfairly rated as almost no one is taking into account that more guns, factions, maps and war stories will be released over the coming months and year as part of the game, that means there will be no split player base and you can put down the game for a period of time and come back to it with new content and challenges waiting.

    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.
