I found the multiplayer offerings to be a very fun experience and I didn’t bump into any issues when playing the game this way.
    There’s a great story that flows throughout your time with the game and I must admit that I was very impressed with how they captured different emotions here. The game gives you quite a lot of freedom when it comes to customizing your character which in turn makes you connect to the gameplay more. In terms of content the game doesn’t have a huge amount for you to get to grips with and I was a little disappointed to see that a few modes were missing. The controls can feel a little awkward at times and they do take a bit of getting used to. I like both the Call of Duty and Battlefield series but for me I’ve always enjoyed the Battlefield series a little bit more and that’s mainly because Battlefield feels more realistic and captures different emotions more. Battlefield V is no different and I think they’ve made things even more emotional this time around thanks to the fantastic story that’s present in the game. One aspect that’s always shined through in this series is its shooting mechanics, and thankfully I’m pleased to say that they’ve got it perfect again. Everything about the shooting feels satisfying and fluid, but I will say though that it will take you a bit of getting used to due to the game’s sometimes awkward controls. When you do get used to it though you end up having a very fun and worthwhile experience especially when played in the different multiplayer offerings the game delivers to you. In terms of content the game doesn’t have a huge amount and hopefully we get some more content soon because the content that is here has been done extremely well. At the end of the day then Battlefield V stays very true to the series and I’m sure fans of the franchise will thoroughly enjoy what this game has to offer because not only does it look and sound awesome it also delivers a very fun and worthwhile experience that will keep you coming back for more time and time again.    … Expand

    There are 0 microtransactions currently in the game. Not one. This may change in the future, but as of now, that is a complete fabrication.

    The game feels very much like WW2, but due to it not featuring any of the most famous conflicts at launch, and having women in it, people are saying it doesn't. The game features spitfires, tigers, MG42s and more staples of WW2 however.

    All the dlc will be completely free. This has been said to include all the major/popular conflicts, so you can expect to see D-Day etc, and the Americans/Japanese/Russians after launch.

    The over the top customisation seen in the reveal trailer? All gone. Scrapped in favour of a more historically accurate uniform system, which all seems plausible to have existed at the time. This means no robot arms or God of War face paint, as some reviews are suggesting.

    With that out the way, I will say the game is great. The graphics are superb, as is the gameplay, and really give off a sense of awe and dread. The moment you see a V1 rocket take out half your squad and send you flying across the ground, only for you to stumble to your feet and get back in the fight, your gun and uniform covered in mud. is one I will truly remember as one of my best gaming memories. The game captures the brutal reality of the war perfectly.

    The new revive system is great, allowing your squad mates to revive each other regardless of class, meaning youbare never out of the action long. This is balanced as medics revive fasrer, and can also revive players not in your squad.

    The gameplay, while faster paced than previous entries, benefits from this due to the new, refined movement and gunplay, that lets you do all the staples from previous games, as well as drop to your back or sides, climb over high objects, and slide into cover. The gunplay is smooth, with every class having a different feel, from the SMGs of the medic class that emphasise hipfire accuracy, to the MMGs of the support, that require you to bipod your weapon before you are able to ADS. The time to kill for all these weapons is spot on, except possibly the recon, which feels a bit like a pea shooter if you aren't consistently landing headshots, but that is more of a player skill issue.

    One of the problems however, is the lack of content at launch. As this is a live service game, this will obviously not be the case for the lifespan of the game, with the first free dlc pack arriving in december.

    Another problem is the singleplayer. As usual for a Battlefield game, it is rather dull, and generally steers away from the huge multiplayer battles in favour of a more COD style corridor shooter approach, which is a shame.

    With that being said, this game is, in my opinion, brilliant, and I would advise everyone to really read the reviews, with what I said in mind, as you can see a lot of them are fake, and despite wanting to not bring politics into games, are doing just that by review bombing the game.

    EDIT: After 15 hours of play, I decided to raise my original rating of 8, to a 9. The game is by no means perfect, but it runs smooth on the Xbox One X, and the regular Xbox One. It is quite possibly the best Battlefield game since Battlefield 2, as it brings back a lot of the more "hardcore" elements of that game.    … Expand

    However, it gets an 8 out of 10 for me because content wise it is definitely lacking. Not a whole lot of maps and the progression is a little weird. EA/DICE does have a plan for future free DLC but it feels weird knowing big chunks of the game are not available at launch. This includes the battle royale mode that they hyped up earlier in the year.

    Overall, the game is fun. Simple as that. It's a good entry in the Battlefield series but could definitely use more content at launch. Do not worry about it not feeling like WWII. When you're running around with bullets flying past you and explosions going off around you, the last thing you'll worry about is the gender of some of the soldiers.    … Expand

    I understand and appreciate some of the criticism some gamers have posted about Battlefield V. However I like Battlefield V and find it to be refreshing once again where team play is stressed over individual accomplishments.

    Too many multiplayer games are devoid of working as a team. The Battlefield series still puts the the focus on working as a team to accomplish objectives. As    I understand and appreciate some of the criticism some gamers have posted about Battlefield V. However I like Battlefield V and find it to be refreshing once again where team play is stressed over individual accomplishments.

    Too many multiplayer games are devoid of working as a team. The Battlefield series still puts the the focus on working as a team to accomplish objectives.

    As for the era, which seems to be the biggest hang-up some gamers have, if you want futuristic combat then play Halo or some other game that features those elements you feel Battlefield V is lacking. It appears to me that Battlefield did a reset with Battlefield I taking you to WW1, now we are in WW2 and I would image the next installment will be either the Korean War or the Vietnam War.

    I like the fact that they have seemed to remedy much of the crappy (for lack of a better term) "quick scoping" and jumping 10 feet in the air to avoid being shot. If that is what you enjoy play CoD. I am amazed at how many gamers decry "the game isn't realistic" but then run around with a sniper rifle quick-scoping everyone. Seriously, you believe that is realistic?

    The graphics, sound quality and overall gameplay are excellent. The environments can feel a bit static and but there are many options for cover and alternate paths to objectives. In reading tips on the game is quite apparent that some of the settings, such as controller sensitivity, should be tweaked to your preference as they are set fairly low and slow to begin with.

    The ability to build fortifications, medical/ammo stations and other new features are nice additions to the game.

    In summary if you are looking for a solid team shooter this is a good choice. If you are looking for quick-scoping, jump over bullets, run on walls game then you probably should look elsewhere. Overall this game is a quality shooter that detract many players with the aforementioned gaming habits.    … Expand

This game delivers a challenging and well paced first person shooter set in the time period of World War II. The Dice development team offers some interesting stories of WWII with in it's single player.

    Although, the war stories feel repetitive and one man army style gameplay, they are rewarding. The first war story is about special forces who secretly operated through out Europe to sabotage and destroy airfields. The second war story follows the story of a female member of the Norway resistance who prevented the Germans from advancing in the development of the atomic bomb. The final war story follows a French battalion who fought the Germans and won at all odds, but it costs them everything.

    The controversy that haunted this game is un doubtfully the downfall of the game. There are female soldiers in multiplayer and some women did serve in World War 2 but not in this way. This is a negative aspect of the game as this could have been done much better and respectfully. When the French are added to the game they could have introduced females as resistance members. There is a lacking in content also in battlefield through maps and weapons. However, all future downloadable content is free so we can look forward to more content in the future two year development plan. There are no microtransactions in this game and no pay to win systems. The cosmetics like the prostatic arm has been removed as of now and will not be added to the game anytime soon.

    The gameplay is very challenging and enjoyable as most classes have been able to succeed at there given tasks. The support and assault classes are very strong and the medic class gets better with future unlocks. The scout class is very weak and challenging to use as damage has been nerfed and the headshot mechanic is more important. The land vehicles are very balanced and could be considered for a small buff. The Ariel vehicles are for the most part balance, but the bombers are very over powered. Overall, this game has a very good foundation for a great game to be built. The gameplay is enjoyable and challenging for Battlefield veterans and truly an excellent World War II game.

    Side-note: The Battlefield community takes the term BF Veteran very seriously and I classify my self as a veteran as I have achieved max level in every battlefield game since Bad Company. Just so you know this review is coming from someone who is part of the community and knows the franchise.    … Expand

    I'm seeing lots of very negative reviews for this game and wondering why? Are they all from COD loving fanboys trying to lower the score on this game? Anyway, would have given a 6 or 7/10 for the game due to lack of content but graphically it looks incredible, atmosphere wise whilst it does give you a feeling (I would imagine since i haven't actually been on the frontlines of a battle!) ofI'm seeing lots of very negative reviews for this game and wondering why?

Anyway, would have given a 6 or 7/10 for the game due to lack of content but graphically it looks incredible, atmosphere wise whilst it does give you a feeling (I would imagine since i haven't actually been on the frontlines of a battle!) of being on the frontlines of war the fact that you respawn everytime you die (as is the way in most games of this type) kind of take away from the true horror of war. The comments about it not being true to history... come on, do you really believe war is just about men stomping off in their big boy army boots to fight a battle. There is far more involved in war than just the army, I wonder how many of these 0 scores were given by little keyboard warriors barely out of nappies? The game isn't perfect, so far though I am enjoying it and I think there are improvements over BattleField 1 so a plus in my books. Seems to be more emphasis on team dynamics too in the game which is another plus, running around like a loon and expecting to win a game really isn't the way to win! One thing that upsets me is the apparent lack of a mortar on the classes (I have yet to see one available!) and the confusing menus. I will get used to them though I'm sure. If you enjoyed BF1 then definitely get this one, I would say this is way better than that COD BO4 crap, oh and those saying the customisation is akin to fortnite…. WTF I see no stupid skeleton models on players or alien crap, grow up and if you aren't going to review something properly don't bother.… Expand

    Perfect? Almost.
    I really was looking forward to this BF and it is great and full of innovation. For instance,
    Building fortifications is pretty rewarding and feels meaningful, attrition, so limited ammo and restricted health regen, promote squad play. The score streaks are extremely well devised, omg how i loved the first V1 rocket, The Graphics are wonderful, i play on 4k hdr tv    Perfect? Almost.

    Building fortifications is pretty rewarding and feels meaningful, attrition, so limited ammo and restricted health regen, promote squad play. The score streaks are extremely well devised, omg how i loved the first V1 rocket, The Graphics are wonderful, i play on 4k hdr tv xboxonex, no performance issues at all, some tiny glitches, nothing compared to BF4. The more you use a gun or a vehicle the more potential upgrades you unlock, i love that the most. Weapons are accurate and much better than in BF1.
    CONS: Weirdly enough i would shorten the time to kill also the smg is so so and medic as a whole. (The patch is underway, source: Westie, utube) I do not like the fact that there is a girl on the cover, i hate feminism, because it embodies what it wants to combat, forced diversity and quotas. I do not mind the option to play as one though ( i don’t) and i have the deluxe but still the bloke did not replace the chick on the cover. And as much as i feel weird preferring a guy over a girl in this specific context, i do. My biggest issue is the lack of more iconic battles or skirmishes, it is the definitive WW2 game and i want to relive the D-Day, Kursk, Berlin in 1945 Warsaw Uprising maybe? Pacific Theatre and i totally hope these come still. The game is worth paying €200 for.

    Big commendation for Bolishing premium and toning down the customization it looks great and nothing looked odd and not fitting so far. Enough content there to play before it all really begins. People splill their hate over BFV becuase they are stuck in 2 months ago and failed to notice loads of positive changes, DICE deserves some slack, not their first Rodeo and have agreat track record, they do not need to prove their talent anymore.    … Expand

I have only had one real issue with this game and that is the Nordlys war story just because it doesn't honor the men who fought and died to sabotage the hard water production. Overall though, immersive gameplay, fun and addicting multiplayer, and a great community to boot. I would recommend this to any of my friends or fellow Xbox owners.… Expand

    Look the reality is it is the same old first person shooter but it is a hell of a lot better than the new call of duty. I actually find the game to be quite entertaining and I have enjoyed it thus far.
    I think that it is worth buying and battlefield will always be the best first person shooter. The game however is lacking in content in my opinion it could have a few more maps.

    The multiplayer in this game is an absolute blast. The gunplay feels amazing (I can't overstate that) and the planes are a blast. I think DICE nailed the progression in the game as well.

The gunplay feels amazing (I can't overstate that) and the planes are a blast. I think DICE nailed the progression in the game as well. Nothing feels better than finishing specializations for guns or working towards special skins for classes. It bugs me that people are complaining about EA's involvement when this is one of the few times they haven't stuffed a game with microtransactions (and they removed the season pass). I'm not even sure if there currently is an option to buy the ingame currency (if there isn't, it'll come eventually).
    A lot of people complain about there being women in the game, but the last 4 battlefield games haven't been even close to historically accurate, so that's a flimsy argument (if that's the one they're making). Not to mention the fact that you rarely ever see or hear them. I don't think EA is secretly trying to brainwash us with their SJW agenda, I think they just wanted to expand to a broader audience to make more money and add more cosmetics. Normally I'd be against EA making money, but they took out the season pass and there aren't any garbage loot boxes (something people seem to be glossing over in negative reviews), so I'm not really sure if there is a valid complaint for them monetizing the game. I definitely don't think EA handled the user complaints about women being in the game well, but I think DICE have been incredibly responsive to user feedback, and it shows.
    The game is buggy, but none of it is horrible. 50% of the time when I quit after a match, the game doesn't quit and I have to restart it. That's the most intrusive bug I've seen. Damage stacking is really annoying when it happens, but I believe DICE is actively working on fixing it. There's occasionally clipping and stuff when you revive people, but when you think about all the new features DICE have added, it's not really too surprising that stuff is buggy and it will most likely be fixed eventually.
    Balance issues don't deserve to be addressed as they are all generally addressed by DICE and none of them are major.
    The maps are beautiful, though some are definitely more fun than others.
    All in all, I'd say the user score is absolute BS. It's just a bunch of trend-following troglodytes who want to be upset about something. If this review came out in a few months once DICE add even more weapons and maps, I'd probably give it a 9. I think I'm having more fun in this than BF4. If you're skeptical, you can always get EA access for $5 and try it out for 10 hours. Then if you like it, you can get it for $6 off (you save 1 whole dollar!).    … Expand

    a great attention to detail
    I was hooked on battlefield 1 5 years ago, so I of course had to check out battlefield 5 and watch them hopefully execute further on their war stories single player campaign..
    this time around I didn’t care much for the multiplayer… I don’t know if recent advancements have just made me less patient in the multiplayer world, but here in batt;efield 5 it feels like spawn die spawn die.. worse than recent call of dudtys.. but the time it takes to actually get back in the game makes battlefield 5 multiplayer from firestorm, to the modes youre used to just frustrating to play through for me… so I pushed that to the side and just focused on its 5 and a half hour long campaign..
    And thankfully the campaign here is beautiful.. so much attention to detail here… and a nice varity when it comes to the levels as you go across 5 different war stories… all with different languages.. so sadly if youre like me and hate subtitles.. you don’t relaly have a choice here if you want to know whats going on… I love that battlefield 5 at least tried to deliver a unique experience in each of the 5 stories.. but not nearly as much as battlefield 1… all 5 stories stuck out here.. but mostly for its setting aside for a snow level whee you get to travers with skiis, really having me wishing for a first person ssx game… but in terms of level design overall, all 5 chapters felt pretty identical, same objective, different location.. g oacross this open map, make stuff explode, rinse repeat with some cutscenes in between… I feel like dice needs to really take note from the call of duty team with their recent emphasis on variety throughout their campaigns… at times battlefield 5 does feel like its delivering mini first person shooter games inside one world… but most of the time, it all feels too familiar, having you wanting it to just be over alredy, rather thaan feeling like wow, what an amazing 5 stories like they did last time..
    Overall im kind of over battlefield multiplayer, but as far as its singplayer goes, I really hope dice hone in on this, and delivers us more fleshed out mini stories, that don’t feel so copy and paste when it comes to objectives and delivery. I feel like this could help with the constant immersion breaking return to combat area countdown . its fine every once in a while, but constantly being told to get back in a quote unquote open world setting, just shows a lack of care when it comes to designing your experience.. it feels like a bandaid forcing you to be in the spot the game wants you to be in, rather design doing its job of keeping you there.
    I havnt given up on this series yet, and at least for its war stories, Ill have a reason to keep coming back.

    Dont listen to people arguing about politics. We all want gameplay and this one is good. Battlefield V has great movement and good shooting. The WWII setting its not for my tate though, I find that games set in the past are really limited and it shows in this game.
    Still I had a lot of fun even if this game is not as good as BF3 and 4.

Этот дутый экшн с вкраплениями скучнейшего геймплея... Зачем с этим вообще конкурировать? Но это конечно же всё моя имха. Кому-то же это всё нравится. Шестнадцатая глава Battlefield от шведской студии Dice и известнейшего издателя американцев Electronic Arts, ассоциирующихся в большей степени со своими спортивными симуляторами, а также конечно же с бесподобной American McGee’s Alice (когда уже выйдет Alice: Asylum?!?!), отличной серией Dead Spacе, прекрасной но короткой Titanfall 2 ну и заглохшей франшизой Need for Speed, для меня лично была первой частью полевых сражений. Отталкивали меня от Battlefield ранее эти самые сравнения с колдой, да и если честно каверарты баттлы, которые выглядят как-то не очень тематично и привлекательно. Battlefield V игра про Вторую мировую войну, а обложка и постеры пятой части скорее намекают на какую-то ненавязчивую фантастику или работы фотошопера любителя, наваявшего аляпистого креатива для среднестатистического обойного сайта. Вот вроде бы всё кричало ОСТАНОВИСЬ!!! Но любопытство, хоть и со смешанными ощущениями тревоги вязло верх. И это, пожалуй, тот самый редкий случай, когда все опасения оказались напрасными, а баттла пятая понравилась настолько, что я готов был ей практически влепить 10ку, но обо всем по порядку. Итак, как я уже сказал, Battlefield V это игра о Второй мировой войне, разбитая на 4 истории, каждую из которых в среднем мы прошли за 3 часа. Итого имеем где-то 12 часов игрового действа одиночной кампании. Вроде бы не очень много и качество материала плюс геймплей должны быть на очень высоком уровне, ибо область обзора невелика и до каждой вехи пройденного рукой подать. И это тут есть сполна! Все 4 героические истории достаточно сильные и действительно интересные. Не могу говорить за исключительную историческую точность, но речь явно здесь идет о событиях, в той или иной степени достоверных. Геймплейно игра доставляет невероятное удовольствие. Механика движения, стрельбы в Battlefield V сделаны образцово показательно. Что уж говорить, у наших бойцов есть аж целых ТРИ положения движения: стоя, в полуприседе и что самое главное ползком. Учитывая насколько ожесточенные перестрелки в этой баттле, падение на пузо является частенько спасительным для жизни. А какая тут стрельба!!! Ощущается просто божественно. Отдача от выстрелов, реакция на попадание просто кайф. С собой мы можем нести два стрелковых оружия ЛЮБЫХ, слышите, уважаемые разработчики игр, именно что ЛЮБЫХ, а не этот вечный пистолет, которым ни разу не выстрелишь за игру, но он сука обязательно ячейку свою занимает.… Expand

    O jogo teve um lançamento horrível, com pouco conteúdo, bugado e como cartaz de propaganda política. Mas hoje o jogo está ótimo, muito polido e divertido, o problema é que como boa parte da base ja abandonou e não deu segunda chance ao jogo então a DICE deixou de lado, triste.

    I don’t know what the big fuss is about BFV. I had plenty of fun playing this game. In the years of 2019 and 2020. I couldn’t stop playing. This game could have been a whole lot worse. But the graphics were up to par, great gun selection, cool customization and smooth gameplay. Plus, you still have that awesome building destruction. Really, I think hardline and BF2042 were God awful.

    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.

    What's here is enough to be going on with, but we'll have to wait till next year's updates and in particular, that possibly seismic battle-royale mode, to discover whether this is truly a Battlefield that stands apart. [Jan 2019, p.114]

    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.
