Buying BF1 or BF5?

Both are good games, but very different. And they have different issues.

BFV:

  • It has a lot of small issues and bugs. Some of these are ‘legacy-issues’ which are in BF1 as well (vaulting etc), but some can be annoying at times (sound issues, ttd/netcode, bad visibility)
  • BFV is a lot more hardcore and unforgiving.
  • Its focused on infantry play, vehicles are not as strong as previous BF-titles.
  • The gun-play is fantastic and very satisfying (perhaps the best in any BF-game).
  • TTK is low (almost as low as BF3/BF4)
  • Almost no spotting
  • Reduced health-regeneration (attrition system)
  • Lone-wolfing is hard
  • The netcode is not very good
