    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.

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

    Best gun play and gun feel in the series since BF3. I love how snappy and accurate they've made the weapons now, removing that randomised weapon spread from BF1 was a good idea.

    It feels a bit faster than previous Battlefield games and more focussed on infantry instead of vehicular warfare.
    The multiplayer maps are awesome and with the free tides of war there wil be more to come.
    What I don´t like (just as in Battlefield 1) are the war stories and on the Xbox One X there is a lot of pop in.

    Definitly has the potential to be one of the best battlefield games, but still needs some work. Don't listen to all the reviews about the women and Dice and EA's terrible marketing, it was terrible but that isn't going to affect the game. Defeinitly needs work but I can see this as being one of my favorite Battlefield games, although nothing will ever beat bf3 and 4, thats just a fact.

    battlefield V is a great game, but it is a bit short of content and has some glitches in the technical part but it is a very entertaining game that can deliver hours of fun as it offers a faster gameplay than battlefield 1, in short, a good game that is missing some improvements

    Another great battlefield. I like the women, many of them made history at the war, like Lyudmila Pavlichenko. They deserve some space in WWII games and movies, true!

    The marketing was a **** that's why so many players are hating BFV.

    It needs more content. But the news about free DLC deserve some more points.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

I am very heavily biased because I am in love with the WW2 theater experience, with that being said BFV absolutely doesn't deserve the vitriol it is receiving simply because we have such a toxic community that just cannot handle a female avatar. Excuse my language here but you are all a bunch of **** BFV is not a real military simulator, it is not designed to exactly recreate WW2 you have plenty of other options that do just that.

    One of the main complaints for the franchise has always been server volume, well guess what fills servers..? Making the game accessible to a wider demographic. You whiny **** don't want to play as a female...Do you think they want to play as males?

    Leave the game. We don't want you in our community.

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 not sure which game all these haters are playing but so far Battlefield V has exceeded the previous two entries in the series in my opinion. Battles are epic, everything seems balanced, and I’ve yet to see a single glitch. As for the single player campaign, well, who plays Battlefield single player anyway?

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….

    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.

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

    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.
