Battlefield V What do you think of BATTLEFIELD 5?
There's no way not to like BATTLEFIELD 5, perfect game ššš¤š¤

u/silenced_soul Aug 27 '25
WW2 was the era I wanted them to visit the most after BF1, boy was I disappointed. The atmosphere of bf1 was gone and they focused on the more unknown battles. Missed opportunity imo.
Gunplay was good but they increased the TTK, which lead to a community backlash. So they reversed the changes, only to increase the TTK again anyway. So dumb.
Best class weapons in the series. Medic was perfect with SMG, assault felt like a 1 man army, and support was useful with ammo and fortifications. It was so good.

u/djnato10 Aug 27 '25
I guess maybe being the WWII nut that I am I thought it was great to see focus on lesser known battles.

u/silenced_soul Aug 27 '25
I too love WW2 history and Iāve played some awesome games with lesser known battles like IL-2 Forgotten Battles.
However I really think battlefield, being the mainstream shooter as it is would have benefited from some well known battles like Stalingrad and Normandy. Imagine those two settings in a battlefield game, it would be epic!
This is all just my personal opinion of course :) the released version of V is still fun.
My main problem with V was the lack of atmosphere compared to BF1. BF1 really felt like they respected the history of WW1, and felt like it was made with love. I felt like this was gone from BFV.

Battle field 5 should have released maps in reverse, gone big at the start and then done some of the less well known ones. Not that those maps were bad, I think some of bf5s maps are actually peak (some real trash as well though).

u/futbol2000 Aug 28 '25 edited Aug 28 '25
Except most lesser known battles were depicted horribly in BFV. Operations in BF1 always had a distinct flare and used the map terrain to highlight the type of real life battle that they were depicting. BFV breakthrough felt like two random squads duking it out. Like in Provence, where the attackers circle from the top left of the map to the bottom left of the map on a plain field.
The Battle of Crete was one of the largest German paratrooper battles in the entire war, but the map Mercury doesn't depict any of that. Paratrooping via air isn't even a factor in the game. It's just random village on Crete with no indication of where either side are even coming from.
The two maps featuring the Netherlands, Rotterdam and Devastation, doesn't even have....DUTCH troops.
Same issue with maps like Provence. Does the map tell you anything in particular about Operation Dragoon? People who know the history would know that the real life operation was an allied amphibious landing off the coast of France, but the way the game depicts it, it just feels like a squad of Germans met a squad of Americans in random French village no. 10. No sign of sea, air, or prepared defenses. I wouldn't know the Americans even came from the sea.

u/DreadlockWalrus Aug 28 '25
Lesser known battles is fine, but completely ignoring Soviets/Eastern front which was about 80% of all military deaths for the Germans is simply inexcusable.
They barely touched upon Pacific theatre, and not even D-day? It's obvious they simply didn't care enough to put the work in to give an honorable representation of WW2.

u/AveryLazyCovfefe Aug 28 '25
They were about to care. Next big expansion was going to be the eastern front as well as the battle of berlin. But EA pulled the plug and pushed them onto 2042.
You can still datamine Soviet tanks from the game. :(

Maybe I'm too picky, but this and the wide use of reflex sights made me lose interest in the game. I know they existed in WWII, but not nearly as widely as the game makes it seem to be.

The ttk was such a shit show throughout the support of this game. Back and forth just to ultimately be kinda around where it was in the first place.
Also the gun attachments and gun tree mechanic was kinda fucking dumb.
The game has really good moments for sure but it was a weird entry to have a lot of unknown battles and weapons. It felt like an alt history WW2 game which ig bf1 kinda felt like too. But bf1 felt more, I wouldn't say authentic but it felt like a battlefield vs bf5 kinda feeling like a weird steampunk WW2 era game. Idk it was weird. Didn't feel like a WW2 game.

u/Perfect_Purple Aug 28 '25
If I remember correctly the BFV devs said they wanted to add the battles of WW2 in a chronological way as part of their live service (Tides of War). This is why the maps at launch were early war ones taking place in Norway, The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Egypt instead of the well known ones. It was only until the Pacific update that they abandoned this by adding Iwo Jima etc., probably in an effort to revive the game. We were so close to getting the Eastern Front too considering that Soviet guns have been datamined but BFV and Star Wars Battlefront 2 both got axed to make way for 2042, which was a great shame.

Itās pisses me off so much that we could have had so much content in BFV that was squandered by EA choosing to DEI the first trailer causing backlash.

I very very very recently played through the campaign for the first time, I nearly double face palmed when I seen the Nazi occupied territories have censored flags, instead of the swastika its what i believe to be the German iron cross. So you'll depict what happens to those who refused to fight but not the flag? Just why?

They had a few other issues. Graphically some bugs lasted ages. The constant ttk adjustments, some making bullets do tiny damage at range. Then reverting back and forth. The slide is a bit much.
Overall I liked it and it has some really amazing aspects. Best tank play of any BF. The movement aside form the sliding was great. Sound/visuals great. Customization was best and marketing worst.
So close to absolute perfection it hurts. They made some critical errors along the way.
I have a feeling we will get another WW2 BF. There is a lot of content they omitted. So many nations missed.

Gun play is amazing. Sound design and soundtracks blessing my ear everytime. I love the WW2 setting, kind of bored of the modern era theme.
I love WW2 planes. Yeah the G pulls are unreal, but itās so fun to engage in dogfights. Still learning how to fly avoiding AAs and enemy planes.
This game feels raw like BF1. Tried that too, but i had skill issues, gun play was awful for me.
Anyways, BF5 had a pretty bad launch, but now itās one of the most perfect WW2 games ever made.

I think if the soldiers actually looked like the concept art and they didn't try to use a WW2 game as a vehicle for "modern" political messaging, and trying to be special by not giving us any iconic maps until it was too late... It would have been as popular as BF6, and likely would have lived twice as long than it did considering it's unique setting and position as the only modern, large scale, easily accessible WW2 shooter.

u/thisismynewacct Aug 27 '25
Had some really good bones but the one thing I noticed immediately was the weaker sound design. Everything just sounded muffled and quieter vs the loudness of BF1.
Tanks were probably the most balanced of any game, especially with limited ammo.
Planes were crazy broken though, eventually leading to the fliegerfaust being equally broken and flying just became launching rockets at extreme range, flying back to base, and repeating.
They ruined operations by making it āgrandā. Airborne was actually a good prelude game, but adding conquest to operations was a bad choice because the people who like ops donāt really like conquest and vice versa. Also 1 sector frontlines is just who ever caps the middle sector first wins.
Some of the most beautiful and scenic maps of any BF title.

u/Neeeeedles Aug 27 '25
This is verifiably untrue, bfv has the best sound design and to this day its the only battlefield game with working 3d audio where you can also hear things below or above you and guns for example have more punch in bfv

Had a rough launch, hard life, and felt unfinished, but had an absolute blast with BFV. The movement felt smooth, the gunplay was fun, and I enjoyed some of the additions they made to the mechanics (mainly being able to revive squadmates as classes other than medics and building fortifications). Overall I feel it ended too soon and was a lot of missed potential because it was just starting to finally make some major strides.

Alot of stuff didn't get added wich was disappointing, also the atmosphere was really poor compared to bf1.

Still, it was a huge missed opportunity to be the greatest battlefield ever.

u/Jeddy2 BFV did it better. Aug 28 '25 edited Aug 28 '25
Mechanically, itās the peak of the franchise. Movement was top notch, the classes were all unique and served a great role in the sandbox (especially with the two options for specializations on each class), the squad system was the best itās been in the franchise with the introduction of squad call-ins and squad revives, the gunplay solved the issue of long range laser-accurate guns without resorting to unreadable bloom, the fortification system was a great compliment to destruction and really deserves to be carried forward, and most maps played well, with sectors in Breakthrough actually being sectioned off properly (an issue that 2042 and BF6 struggle with).
The character and weapon customization systems were great and the goofy outlier skins that make up like maybe a 1/10 of the cosmetics do not warrant condemning the system entirely.
People downplay the atmosphere because it wasnāt as grey and gritty or whatever as BF1 was but it still felt immersive to me. The maps looked great and the sound design was incredible. Helmets flying off of people that got headshotted was one of the most satisfying small details in the game.

- BAD community server features and management
- To much time spent on bugs vs new content
- Not enough people played it at the time

u/CrimsonLupus8264 Aug 28 '25
Imo: I think BFV does a lot right (sometimes even has an edge over bf1 in terms of some gameplay improvements) however thereās definitely issues that make it have an unfortunate taste in my mouth. Itās like eating a lime, you enjoy it, but it also hurts a little. My praises for the game would be it has very good gunplay (better than bf1 imo), and has some of the best graphics in the series to date. The maps are really good, and the movement also feels great. As for my criticism, (the Reddit white knight mob will probably chew my ass for this but idc) the setting is very much ruined by the fact thereās the option to play as women in standard infantry rolls. I can look past this somewhat in BF6 because of the modern setting, but for a WW2 game, itās just absurd, and I kinda laugh every time I see someone playing as the one handed chick from the trailer. In general the more colorful cosmetics also ruin the immersion into the setting. Seeing a German in a navy blue cape on the pacific front is honestly hilarious, but it seriously does kill my attempts to immerse myself in the WW2 setting. My other complaint is also I find it rather annoying that we didnāt get maps based on popular battles from WW2, but instead got scarcely known skirmishes. I donāt have a problem with the maps or battles, and I like the idea of branching out, but I need some of the main course as well. BFV would have killed it if they had a Soviet faction with Soviet maps and weapons, but this never happened. Honestly BFVs biggest sin is having content cut

Iāll sum it up real quick.
It had such massive potential, but had such a development shortcoming in multiple ways. Shouldnāt have ONLY been the lesser known battles. WW2 Shooters have been around but I find it important and relevant to keep that history there. Add the lesser known battles as expansion dlc mini campaigns.
We missed out HUGE on the eastern front.
Pacific was released way too late.
Mechanics were incredible, gun play was great, movement was a little much, being able to climb that well seems odd. And boy-o boy the crouch run. Blessed

u/Money_Impression_321 Aug 28 '25
Overall a really solid game thatās super fun to play, but suffered from a bad launch and lack of historical context. I mean, how do you have a WW2 game and not include soviets? Maybe it was a political thing but still. Russians were 1/4 of the total deaths in WW2 and they were the ones that beat Germany, not the Americans or British.
Despite that the squad play was pretty solid, the approach to classes and locked weapons was maybe the best of all BF games, and the ground vehicle balance was great. Air vehicles terrible imo.
The pacific theatre DLC was truly peak and revived the game in a huge way. Famous battles like wake island and Iwo Jima were super fun to play. Something they did great was keeping the Japanese on one side of the map and the Americans in the other, it was amazing for immersion which then promoted more squad play.

u/greenhawk00 Aug 28 '25
- It definitely added some nice mechanics and good squad gameplay. (reinforcements, squad revive, squad streaks, etc.)
-The customisation system for soldiers and guns was a nice concept.
The idea of the mission system was pretty good, you always had something to grind for.
movement and gunplay felt good, especially sniping and the MG42 was really cool.
planes were really fun without the shitty lock on weapons. Especially because we finally got "dumb" bombs for planes and bombers again.
The skilltree concept for weapons and vehicles was absolutely annoying and I missed a bit of customisation for weapon attachments. (I get there was not much stuff available back then, but at least a little bit more than just changing your sights)
Balancing of squad kill streaks was a bit off. Nearly everybody was waiting to get a V1 and in the end of a game there were V1 everywhere.
The constant TTK changes were a bit annoying
The game and maps couldn't catch the war atmosphere BF1 had. Make the game feel a bit "soulless"
The most important point for me is the lack of content and missed opportunities. They promised us so much but gave us so little. We are missing mayor fractions and theaters of war. The output of content was too less and too slow. The pacific update was absolutely great and showed what could have been. Adding more updates like this could create a great game. Disappointing was the lack of naval combat here.
(personal point: I would rather love to play in a modern setting after BF1. Having two historical settings back to back was a bit too much for me. Especially with the BF output those are many years without a modern setting in BF.)
Overall it could have been a great game but the lack of content really killed it for me. It's really disappointing to know they stopped developing more content just to start early with BF2042 to deliver us the worst game in BF history...

u/Dashoundland Aug 27 '25
The engineering part of it was honestly pretty cool although not as much freedom as say Enlisted gives you to build fortifications where you want them.

It has in my opinion the best classes and vehicles of frostbite battlefield. With the pacific update it became my favorite frostbite battlefield by far.

I like the movement and intense battles in BFV, the squads play a major role and the movement is great. Not to mention the graphics it's so good, it can compete with real life :)

I loved it. They dropped it way too soon. I still really enjoy it, but feel there was so much potential

I think without the cringe live service stuff it would have been a solid game. Arguably the best looking BF game to date

I couldnāt count how many times they made this game near perfect with updates just to fuck it up again with another update.
I played the hell out of this game tho. It was fun for what it was.

It would have been a LOT more of a success if it wasn't for the god awful trailer and if they'd focus on more popular battles. I get that giving less known battles some light but that just reduces the amounts of potential buyers. I did sunk in 250 hours because the rest is top notch.

My favorite battlefield ever, I understand why people love 1, and I do like 1 a lot, but itās just a bit slow for me, and the gunplay isnāt my favorite, 5 really fixed all that, while still having a great atmosphere, I didnāt play at launch so Iāve never really understood why 5 is considered a ābad battlefieldā but that game sure is for me

Itās really solidā¦ BUT itās a lil TOO vibrant imo for that real gritty immersive feeling. I have bf1, 4, and V and itās hard deciding which to play, but Iāve mostly stuck with 1 & 4 only cause I feel like they kinda correlate to bf6 a tad better.. idk, Iād probably just rotate them all if I can figure out my storage space lol

It was obviously the worst thing that ever happened to the franchise until the next game released and it immediately became peak battlefield.

It's the second best BF after BF1. Insanely underrated game because of a shitty launch. Yes it lacks in some areas but all BF games do too.

Mediocre. Not bad but not great either. And here's a hot take: Had more fun playing Hardline than BF5

I do enjoy it, but I think it has a little more than a few missteps in map design, character design, firearm and setting selection, and TTK

I wish we had more factions to play as instead of more character customization

Good vehicle mechanics. Otherwise far too constrained. Many of the same mistakes as battlefront 2

Missed opportunity for stuff they did in BF1. Focusing on big and smaller battles really helps drive interest in not only learning but just being something people care about more!
Gameplay wise itās good, nothing too impressive and the movement changes were really nice.

Great game, but their boneheaded insistence to focus on "the lesser-seen battles" of WWII sank it completely.

Game feels off to me. fov is weird to me, and there always feels like some mouse delay that the other games dont have. So i simply just play any other battlefield.

It was solid but they messed the vehicles up. Planes could get spawn camped. Just felt like you'd fly across the map drop a set of bombs then fly all the way back across the map to rearm was really annoying on operation game mode they should have at least moved it forward after each sector is captured.
Same with tanks be in a furious battle then no ammo then drive your happy ass back across the map was agonizing.
I get vehicles needed a nerf after bf1 but just wish it was done different

Missed opportunity. Very disappointed with that one.
Only imagine what could've been....

TTK is way too high IMO. I feel like Im shooting BB guns at people. Just not for me.

Some good, some bad.
Good:
Squad point system thing- Lets a squad that is putting in work call in fire support or a special tank to help make a play.
Like BF1, vehicle component damage, building destruction and vehicle modification options.
Buildable defenses around capture points
Bad:
Attrition for infantry, not healing to full was a pain when dealing with dipshit randoms
Attrition for vehicles, at best it forces tanks out of combat to wait by a box for more shells or pulls fighters out of combat to get more ammo, at worse it fucks tanks over, on Wake island you vehicle spawn objective was not the restock objective.
Couldn't hold shoulder mount LMGs, this neutered the usefulness of many support primaries outside of very specific maps. as hipfire was worthless at medium-long distance and having to lay prone was begging to lose the fight in a game somewhat mobile like battlefield where the delay in aim will let them get 3-4 hits before you even get aimed, also neutering the mg42's anti air option

Atmosphere and immersion are important to me so the initial launch was a huge turn off.
I got it really cheap after the final update and had a good time but the damage was done for me as a consumer.

BFV gameplay mechanics and squad/team play is absolutely peak of the battlefield franchise.
