Thought on Battlefield V ?

[walou213]

I'd like to know what other gamers thought of the last battlefield considering i have a very bad opinion on it, and it's not even because of the "not-immersive" part of the game, nor the way EA/DICE dealt with the fans but because it's simply not fun.

Just to give a few background, i played bf1942, bf2 before leaving and joining back the franchise with bf1, 6 months ago.

The previous games were very, very focused on teamplay, with HUGE map and a kind of feeling like it's a real war with strategic decision to take, a lot of communication with your squad, etc ... Just a war simulation but without the boring part, which was awesome.

BF1 on the other hand, well .. fuck the teamplay, fck the strategy, just grab a hellriegel and kill everything, that's like a completely different franchise from what it used to be, but in itself i got to say it was fun. The benemoth exploding in the sky, damn it feel great the first time you see it, the excelent graphic and sound, it was very fun to play.

But BF 5 ... i don't know if it's because i have been spoiled by Bf1 but it feels empty. I have even more than on bf1 the feeling of "spawn - kill or get killed - repeat" without the fun part.
Can't say for sure why it does so, maybe the insane amount of bugs, maybe the new TTK (Time To Kill), maybe the attrition, .. but even at 30$ i feel like i have been scammed.

I can't be alone to hate their new game, please share your thought if you got the "opportunity" to play on it.

Btw, i didn't mention that but hearing woman cry on the battlefield, whether it's when dying or asking for amo, heal,.. just make the game very akward to me, even after playing something like 20 hours on it.

I honestly think the game is alright. I booted it up for the first time last night (really glade that EA/Dice made quick work of making it 50% off for veteran Battlefield players). The visuals are good (as always) and the gunplay feels satisfying (as always). I've exclusively been playing Conquest and for the few hours I've put in, it seems like any other Battlefield I've played. Everything is business as usual for the most part.

Attacking/defending flags, shredding fools and helping my teammates however I can with whichever class I have equipped with only the usual Battlefield-exclusive pain in the ass causing me to tilt: an enemy tank dominating a spot that nobody else on my team/squad seems to care about as much as me.

Also, map-flow is a bit hit or miss for me in comparison to past games. I'm not yet sure if I think there's actually something wrong with the map design or if I just need to adjust to the absence of 3D spotting.

it's really not worth a 85, FAR from it. at 30$ price, i would give it a 45-50 because of the lack of content but in no case 85, there is like 6 map at all and only a few different gun.

Been a huge fan of Battlefield since BF1942 in 2002 and have owned every Battlefield since but unfortunately for me the franchise is dead.
Even if you were to take the SJW crap out of the game it still doesn't look or play like the rest.

Haven't played it, but judging from the let's plays, battlefield maps finally lost their charm, this was the reason why i won't buy this battlefield.

[Badger]

Haven't played enough to give an honest opinion on the gameplay itself, but its a shame the way it turned out, I always was a fan of the series but stopped playing after 4. I'm glad I did too. I hate to see the franchise crash and burn like this, but as is the way with EA.

Wanted A True Sequel to 1942. Didn't get it. I hope dice takes more time with the next one and listens to what the fans want. Oh, and don't call it authentic if it's not authentic. The inevitable trailer release ends up making you look stupid.

[ciderPunk1877]

I've played it. It's mechanically sound, and visually very impressive. The BF-faithful have a lot to say about the lower TTL, but that doesn't particularly bother me.

What does get on my nerves is that the game just wasn't finished. They left one of the story modes undone by shipping, then tried to sell it as a feature via DLC. Same with modes.

I didn't specifically play BF5, I was hyped for it (because of the women, not despite), but I purchased BF1 a few weeks before BFV released and I found it to be terrible. I expected an equal competitor to COD, it is anything but. So I decided to skip BFV after that as it builds on the same format.

[Dave666]

The game play is good but the inaccuracies let the game down. I have had it since release I am still level 5 maybe I will play it more when start to get bored of Red Dead online

I was annoyed with all the political nonsense leading up to the release of the game, and I honestly think that many people, myself included, would not have such a negative view of the game without that hyper-woke first trailer. That being said, I did enjoy the gameplay at launch, even though there was, and still is, very little to unlock, and still a very small number of maps. The recent patches and other tweaks to the game have just made it less and less fun to play, and I have almost no motivation to play it at all any more. Time to kill is atrocious, and most guns can barely kill a single person in 1 magazine, planes and tanks have been nerfed to the point of not being fun any more, and the new rewards and unlockable are underwhelming.

There are just so many factors that keep me from buying Battlefield V.

Before the whole PR disaster that both EA and DICE helped create, I was genuinely interested. I was planning on eventually get a new computer rig with a GTX 2080 GPU to play BFV with the fancy new ray tracing graphics. Now I've completely scrapped that idea. Hopefully it'll be more prone to do this once Cyberpunk 2077 hits the shelves.

Have yet to play it, and it’s still on the table that I may never play it, Soderlands proclimation gave that possibility to me. If I ever play it, it’ll be either when it’s massively reduced on PC, or I’ll play it on my Xbox One using a second hand copy purchased off of eBay, I’m not giving EA anymore money than I have to, and hopefully none at all if I get it on console.

I played Battlefield 1942 religiously from before launch with the Wake Island demo, I got hyped from the mere reveal of the original prerendered introduction video that was released prior to the game, I bought the Road to Rome and Secret Weapons expansion packs, and continued to play it well after the release of Battlefield Vietnam, 2, and 2142. But, I can overlook the fact that the Japanese were using Panzerschrecks and Kar 98k rifles back then in BF1942 as a quirk, and I can understand the concessions that need to be made nowadays because not everyone wants to be using a bolt action rifle in a game 90% of the time, so I understand all these anachronistic weapons and prototypes that flow freely whatever the period (ala Battlefield 1), but the historical revisionism on show in other areas of the game under a guise of “inclusivity” was; excuse the pun; A Bridge Too Far (great WW2 movie, anyone who hasn’t seen it, I highly recommend it) for me.

The only thing I can say is, I kind of gave up on multiplayer Battlefield after 2, So never really experienced it widescale after that, I primarily play singleplayer games with a few select games that I play multiplayer, I played BF 3 and 4 singleplayer, the only ones I missed was hardline, and only played a few games of 2142, but I think the decline in team play is across the board for multiplayer games in general, not just Battlefield, it’s now an everyone for themselves mentality, everyone wants the killstreak bonuses, or the number of kills ribbons or whatever achievements.

They've ruined the battlefield formula with some moronic gameplay design decisions that were about as well thought out as the 14 year old superwoman commando who defeated all the nazis on her own.

Vehicles are severely restricted. One tank per team. A couple of jeeps/motorbikes per team. This is reinforced by the map design that really wouldn't let you have a squad of tanks even if you could get more than one to spawn at a time.

Spawning is fucked. You know how in COD enemies spawn all over the place and there is no line of battle. No tactics or strategy, just run around and pew pew who ever you see? That's Battlefield V.

It really did feel like they took a lot of wrong lessons from the modern COD franchise, and foolishly forced them into a game about combined arms large scale warfare. Which is basically the antithesis of COD design.

I have not played the game, just to be clear. But as a consumer trying to get a beat on whether or not this game is worth the time, I just wanted to comment on how difficult that was because the industry have all had their reviews paid for. It's hard to believe publications thought his game was a 85... or a 8.5/10.
