Battlefield V

The game is low on content with very little maps, the game throws away historical accuracy even though it was marketed as a realistic ww2 game. The devs promised consistent updates with new content and almost a year has went by with barely any new content brought into the game. The single player is also a lazy attempt at pleasing the campaign audience. They ruined the chance to make a good ww2, in-depth story by breaking it into "war stories" which are mini campaigns taking place in different battles and different perspectives. The short amount of time each war story takes does not give enough room for character development and does not have any good action set pieces and is basically a gallery shooter of killing multiples enemies at once, than moving on. Would not recommend this game to anyone even if you are, like myself, a huge battlefield fan.

BfV is a huge step down from its predecessor Bf1, taking a more Cartoonish and historically literate approach to war.

Battlefield 1 overall feels like a more polished version of BfV. Griddy violence, chaotic atmosphere, thematic uniforms, no silly cosmetics, Fortnite skins, and clunky gimmicks.

Bf1's warstoies are more meaningful and intriguing than BFV's quirky "happy-go-lucky" adventure-like campaign. 'The Last Tiger' is the only warstory that felt meaningful to me.

The game was awful at launch, and was until 'War in The Pacific launched'. WITP is what BF fans wanted, not a steampunk-looking British woman with a prosthetic arm.

Battlefield is a series that I got into when playing the 4th installment and I have always liked the gameplay presented. However, here, Battlefield remains kind of the same in comparison to Battlefield 1 with not many innovations. This is not necessarily a bad thing because the multiplayer remains easy to hop in and to have fun for some matches. Where I found Battlefield V to be lacking is in the campaign. The stories told are pretty interesting because they tell stories of the Second World War that are not often highlighted in media and I was genuinely interested in them. Where it falls flat here is the gameplay design (and especially on higher difficulties). The levels first start out with some stealth which does not work well on higher difficulties since you basically cannot sneak past them without them noticing you even if you just try to look around a corner to see if there are enemies at all. And at the end you get this big map where you basically do the same but now you need to travel between long distances. The last two war stories did try to mix it up a bit but this was still lackluster since it then became your standard first person shooter affaire. Overall, I think that Battlefield V is not a bad game, but that it definitely needs some changes in its campaign (especially the design) to convey these stories better. I hope that the next Battlefield I play is going to innovate more and that it does not solely rely on its multiplayer because in my opinion this only stays fun for some casual games.

I don't know how they messed this game up. All that had to do was improve on the negatives of battlefield one and this game would of been perfect. Instead they produce the worst FPS I have ever played just plain awful.

Battlefield V started out with crap maps and campers everywhere, even now a year later it still has campers just not nearly as many, and now that they added in the pacific maps the game feels a lot better now. When they make another battlefield they need to have a proper story mode though, and not a glorified tutorial.
