    I miss the great variety of weapons, vehicles and personalization that Battlefield 4 brought.

    They are making you pay a whooping 50 euros to prepurchase a **** 4-5 hour not completed story and also only 8 maps with a lot of bugs.
    oh and that propaganda thing, **** off

    I played Bf since 1945 but you lost me at Hardline, captivated me again with your 5 euros bf1, but this is something i cannot tolerate

    The only redeeming quality about this game is that its graphics are technically impressive. Look, I loved BF1, but this ain't it. It's just not and it has very little to do with the external factors surrounding the game, the politics, etc. The UI is an eyesore and cluttered. The customization options are too much, and too much of low quality.

The customization options are too much, and too much of low quality. The building mechanics feel tacked on and only serve as a hindrance to having a good time. The maps feel lazy, uninspired, and in some cases poor revisions to BF1 maps. It doesn't feel like a WWII game. The combat, though similar of course to BF1, actually feels way less satisfying and fun. The aesthetic of the games character models and art styles in certain areas is just baffling to me. They really missed the mark with the whole overall presentation of this game. It's a shame because I typically really enjoy Battlefield games. It's also buggy and has a disappointing amount of content in terms of maps, diversity of maps, game modes, etc. Pass on this one and hope that Dice gets its sh** together for the next entry in the series.… Expand

Game and battlefield history written in my opinion. game filled with content!! hese srumours about no content from people that got confused over such a complicated game i guess. I did not even mention upgrading of persons and guns and weapon skins. Sooooo amazingly good - also compared to earlier BF games, which means a lot:) There are about 7-8 weapons in every class, detailed to the best weapon copies from that period plus very detailed trucks, cars vehicles. And NO bugs at all I could carry on - and NO i am not paid from Dice or EA. Just a gamer who love an amazing game - not filled with hate or jealousy like others here hahaha… Expand

    Gameplay is king! BF5 is a bigtime step up from BF1 in terms of gameplay and is a must buy for any battlefield fan. Multiplayer games are fun and keep you engaged the entire match. The game is lacking on a bit of content, however the progression system is 100% better and definitely will keep you in it for the long haul. Tides of War will help bring the game some much needed additional content.

    Final Verdict: 7.4 (Rounded down to a 7)

    To start off, I was one of the people who didn't like DICE's depiction of WW2 and was against the game from the start. The closed alpha was quite good, but the beta was an outright disaster. That said, I can confidently say that this year's installment has the best gameplay since BF3. If you want a game with an in-depth progressions system that you can sink hours into with its constant genre-defining epic moments for hours on end, this is the game for you. Cosmetics are surprisingly good. All characters you can choose are faction specific, meaning no black woman nazis, restricting the player to choose from a variety of men and women from a select character pool. For those concerned about historical accuracy, it is barely noticeable aside from the uncomfortable and loud women screaming on the battlefield. The content is quite light at launch. While there is a lot of variety in the content itself, the quantity is lacking. Features such as dragging downed friendlies, vehicle customization, and the Last Tiger war story are lacking from the game. The game is also very buggy. I'd say there aren't many 'game breaking' bugs (although I've encountered an infinite revive state glitch where I couldn't respawn), as most of the bugs are ignorable at best. The story is alright. 2 of the 3 war stories are quite decent, and one is just downright garbage. The AI is piss poor, and there is no variety in gameplay other than the typical one man army style gameplay. Performance isn't up to standard right now, as hectic moments can get quite laggy especially if you don't have a good CPU. So, should you buy the game? Not yet. Either wait till it's on sale or until more content comes out. I also recommend you try out the game by buying one month of EA Access. I've had a blast with the game so far, and I look forward to Tides of War.    … Expand

It play like two developers hated each other and this is their compromise for an initial starting point. 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

    Yes, it is inaccurate and there is minor bugs here and then but it's really fun.

    Do not buy the game, stand up to EA and Dice, do not get blinded by the good critic reviews, they do not dare to stand up against a SJW version of WW2! They are literally censoring History and disrespecting the people who lost their lives.

The programmers are under immense pressure to get the product out there - I agree it shouldn't be like that but unfortunately that's the way it is! I get people being cheesed off but anyone who has previously invested time in a Battlefield game will know that Dice will be committed as they always have been to iron out any issues over the forthcoming weeks. As it currently stands the multiplayer (which is what I am there for) is intense, immersive and great fun! Graphically (I'm using a PS4 Pro) it is sublime! Sound is fantastic and on par with the quality of the graphics. The game is set up to encourage teamwork more than ever before. New maps and new modes will be added free of charge over time. Its not a 10 yet more a solid 8 but in the interests of overall balance I am giving this a 10. This is as far removed from a game deserving a zero than you can ever get - shame on you!… Expand

    It’s not a real Battlefield. Don’t buy it.

It was in interesting contrast to BF3, and BF4 (which I also loved) and it was made with great love and attention to details... And BF5 is the    It’s not a real Battlefield. Don’t buy it.

    I’m not a hardcore gamer, but I’m a big fan of a series since Bad Company. I’m ready for any setting they can offer, and I was completely blown away by BF1 - because it was bold, brave and epic. It was in interesting contrast to BF3, and BF4 (which I also loved) and it was made with great love and attention to details...

    And BF5 is the opposite to this. It looks as if it is made in a hurry, for cheap, and like an answer to Fortnite, PUBG, Overwatch, SJW, meetoo and what else do they have now... And ALL OF THIS it is not Battlefield.

    Here are some “Highlights”:

    1. I don’t know how it’s possible, but on PS4 Pro graphics feels WORSE then in BF1. I’m sure that technical level of the engine is more advanced, but the use of it is just plain “basic”.
    2. You don’t get an epic true war history feeling. Everything is brief and simple. It looks like a BF1 for poor.
    3. There are women dying and screaming in agony all around you all the time. Maybe someone enjoys it, but I’m not a big fan of that. And that is not historically true - so what is it for? For fun?
    4. In BF1 operations if you win - you move forward, you loose - you try again and probably fail. In BF5 operations IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU WIN OR LOOSE, you advance anyway. And if you are defending, even if you win - you retreat. What the hell?
    5. Lot’s of bugs now: can’t deploy, menu items are not visible, the round does not finish, etc. Yes, again.
    6. They want us to customize our soldiers now, and hopefully even pay for it. That is the focus of the game now. Not the content.
    7. Even though they have removed all the insane face paintings and mechanical arms, the game remained the same - a bit crazy chaotic action just like it is popular among younger auditory now. Maybe they should’ve kept the arms, it would’ve been at least complete in some way.
    8. On the other hand, people who played beta (I didn’t), said that it was too slow. So they added more speed in a final release...

    As a result, trying to please everyone, it’s neither an authentic Battlefield game, nor a simple modern fun multiplayer shooter. All this popular gimmicks just don’t fit into a Battlefield concept.

    I was waiting for this game even after poor announcement and negative beta feedback. But now, as I have played it myself, I can tell - it’s just a plain failure.

    It is a game made to earn money, just because they had to release a Battlefield title this year. So it feels like a cheap limited DLC to BF1, made by some secondary team, while THE REAL NEXT BATTLEFIELD is in the works. Which, I believe, will be a true great game again.

    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.
