    This review is for the BFV on XBOX ONE S.

    The game puts a priority on team play and thinking before acting. Death will come very quickly if you aren't aware of surroundings. Playing cautiously and with thought is more important to survival where he who sees the other first will win most gun duels. Engagement ranges are much further than BF1 while the grenade and explosive spam that was standard in BF1 has been (thankfully) diminished. Unfortunately the game has many flaws, with bugs and lack of content. It also does not have the epic feel of a WW2 game and in general feels very generic, with little difference between playing one faction from the other. Class balance favors the Assault and Support at this time. There are many bugs as well, making the game feel like an Early Access game and not a finished product. I recommend trying the EA access 10 hour trial before buying at this point although it could be a much better product in the future with patches. 4/10

    While the Battlefield series has always been seen as the somewhat more authentic wartime FPS compared to its competitors, I do not think the hilarious degree of downright disrespectful historical inaccuracies are exactly game breaking.

However, the game is riddled with huge bugs, and the more game-ruining they are, the less likely it is that the devs publicly acknowledge them. While the game is an enjoyable Battlefield when it is playable, it follows the dark path that many devs, EA especially, are carving out, where half-finished games are released in a minimally playable state, and gradually brought up to be a full game over months to years of updates and paid expansions. I almost wish that I had enjoyed this game even less, just because I almost feel shame giving my money to the creators. But I just love Batlefield too much to not flush all of my money into DICE and EA's pockets for every broken unfinished release and every miniscule overpriced DLC. God help my soul. 4/10. Had the game just been braver with its content matter and been delayed a few months for polishing, that score would've been in the green. But it is impossible to even remotely encourage any company to continue on the path that this company has infamously taken. Expand

    Once again with EA, they don't seem to know how to make a game better. The game isn't balanced in online, and the only redeeming factor is the story mode.

    They took a game set in the 1940's, took out all the recognizable stuff for some reason, added in a hamfisted attempt at pandering to SJW's while still not actually giving players any real customization options, and released a half-finished turd of a game with half the content of the previous title.

    It is somewhat bitter-sweet to see this game get these terrible ratings, on one hand, it absolutely deserves them for various reasons, and on the other hand, remembering how much fun I had with Battlefield 1942, Bad Company 1 & 2, Battlefield 1, 3, & 4... and seeing it devolve into this mess of a game, is kind of sad.

    There are 2 positives for me that lead me to this score of 2/10, and

    There are 2 positives for me that lead me to this score of 2/10, and they are simply that the game looks really good, and has one really good map (Twisted Steel), and a few other decent ones.

    In the negatives... The game seems to have been rushed out too soon (seems to be the theme of games this fall) and was incomplete. Every single tab you look at throughout the menus says "Coming soon" from key game modes to vehicle customization to the practice firing range. Then there was the initial reveal trailer and the whole Trevor Noah showcase that was an absolute failure, it was incredibly boring, and it was the start of an abysmal marketing campaign. In game, there is no class balance, medics and snipers are vastly inferior to assault and support classes which dominate the entire game, and on top of this, the time to kill is too fast and feels close to Black Ops 4.

    + Game is great to look at
    + Twisted Steel is an excellent map, and there are a couple other good ones

    - Game is an unfinished product
    - Poor marketing campaign by DICE & EA
    - Insulting the fan base is not a smart move
    - Credit system is an absolute joke
    - Revising history for the sake of inclusion did the game no favours
    - Grand operations are boring and lack the intensity that BF1 had
    - Unbalanced classes & fast time to kill hurts the Battlefield playstyle
    - No major battles from WW2
    - Squads are reduced to 4 players
    - Does not feel like World War 2 at all

    Overall, I am glad I was able to borrow this from a friend who is planning on returning it because, just like Fallout 76, these companies have turned series I used to love, into service games that launch with half the content, charge full price, and do not become complete experiences until a year or two of updates have been injected.

    What made this game even worse for me, was being insulted by the developer for being concerned about ham-fisted socio-political agendas being thrown into games when they are a means of escaping it! Instead we are left with an immersion breaking, revisionist perspective, of the deadliest human conflict in history for the sake of inclusion, and some people wonder why gamers and the like, are upset with this?

    Hopefully this major sales drop and low community score are a wake up call for both EA & DICE, because I know that DICE can do a lot better than this, if they were given the proper time, and dropped the creative & corporate types who have no desire to make a game like the ones fans have come to love this series for.

    This was a travesty of a game and I even feel like a 2/10 is a gift, do yourselves a favour and steer clear from this one, and adopt the "wait and see" policy before purchasing any games going forward, because if this game is any indication, we are in for agenda pushing, micro-transaction laden, unfinished games as a service, and the industry and its honest fans will suffer as a result.

    Ignoring all the past controversy, is this game fun? Answer: no. The game balance is terrible, as only two of the classes are worth playing. The content is poor, with large amounts just recycled from BF1, eg the guns. The gameplay just feels empty and lifeless somehow - there's no sense of a battle to the fights.

The only thing stopping me giving it a 0 is that the graphics are pretty good, even though performance is still bad even with top of the end kit. If you do decide to buy on PC, try to ask others with a similar spec if they can actually run it properly. As for the single player, I haven't finished all of them yet but so far the game just fails to capture any of the magic that bf1 had. I'm going to be selling my copy soon. I don't usually bother to review games but this one was such a disappointment that I just had to. Expand

    Evidently they have forgotten to add vehicles to this Battlefield game, one of the cornerstones of the series. I guess they'll add those in 6-8 months when Dice finally gets this pile of garbage running like it should. I am really totally and utterly disappointed with this entry.

    I love female gamers and avatars; however, they need to be historically accurate in order to make them believable and fun to play (think older, chain-smoking female French partisans for example). This game's focus makes it feel like Fortnight. The only question left to ask - where's the bus?

    Mais bon, de la part des connards de DICE qui avaient mis un Noir sur l’affiche de leur Battlefield 1 (celui sur la Première) on ne peut plus s’étonner de rien ! toujours est-il que ce Battletron reste fidèle à sa réputation (de Battlefield étron) avec sa jouabilité désagréable, ses micro-transactions prédatrices… et ses « nouveautés » qui loupent le coche à chaque fois.

    Par exemple, de grands niveaux mais sans véhicule disponible, obligent à crapahuter comme un crétin d’un bout à l’autre de ce putain de niveau ; ensuite, l’introduction de l’infiltration (heureusement optionnelle) est à côté de la plaque et totalement antinomique de ce jeu de tir pour décérébrés ; c’est en outre si mal fait et si inexploitable qu’on s’en bat l’oeil pour rester poli.

    Il reste la technique très réussie et spectaculaire, à 60 im/s sans coup férir qui plus est : ça ne vaut pas une messe mais bien un bon point ! malgré des temps de chargement très longs, cependant. Mais que c’est rapidement lourdingue, ces « niveaux » sans aucun lien en guise de campagne ! des « récits de guerre » qu’ils appellent ça… Mais au fait, maudit Battletron, tu n’entends rien ? c’est la poubelle qui crie ton nom ! alors vas-y voir… pour voir.

    It’s unfinished, but I’m highly optimistic that it will improve as new content releases and its Battlefield multiplayer at its finest, and that alone may sell the game for the longtime veteran considering what’s to come. I very reluctantly recommend Battlefield V in its current state, but I must stress my disappointment that EA and DICE willing released a game that feels kind of unfinished.

    If you’re a fan of Battlefield then there is every reason to jump in with this year’s title, but if you want to experience the game as the developers have obviously intended, I suggest you hold off, enjoy the other amazing games released this year and come back to Battlefield V in about six months’ time when it’s no longer in its current state of being a glorified beta with a triple-A price tag.
