The assignment system is a good little addition, gives you something to do for unlocks along with the daily objectives to help unlock in game items/skins etc ..... I dont care for historical accuracy, this is a video game not a history book. If you want carnage like the other battlefields then you'll enjoy it. Rate this down and hate on it all you want but I thoroughly enjoy it. Expand

    Absolutely Amazing. Forget the whining brats claiming there is no content it’s launching with 1 less map than battlefield. All future content is FREE (there is A LOT) The balancing on this game is so much better than Bf1 being able to actually take out tanks again is superb, the maps aren’t dominated by irritating sniper and your not getting bombed constantly by....er... bombers.

It’s definitely harder than battlefield 1 that’s why people are hating, their skill level is too shallow to enjoy the game. That’s why other people’s love it. More thoughtfull squad based awesomeness! Good job DICE great direction 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? 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!) 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

    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.

    I'm not as into it as Battlefield I. I have an old xbox one and BFV looks worse than Battlefield 1 and I'm kind of shocked. The water looks horrible. Anyways, guns don't seem as fun. Tank/anti-tank is okay I guess. I picked up the game for $30 and I'm glad I didn't pay a dime more.

    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

    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 insane whining of the male player base regarding female players is HILARIOUS.

The core experience ,however, is exactly what I would expect from the Battlefield franchise. 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.

    (You won't leave though. We know damn well you are still playing.)

    I honestly rate the game an 8 but am giving it a 10 to compensate for all the neck-beard 0's.

    Jump down from a burning plane, get into a tank and run over an enemy soldier. Just one example of many battlefield moments that occur in a single match. Great game, must have if you want to test your skills.

    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.
