So i know this may cause some arguments. Does Battlefield V, make you feel like your on the battlefield during WW2? Did Battlefield 1, make you feel like you were part of the trench Warfare of WW1? Thanks guys.. ---

Nope. BF1942 for WWII and BF:Vietnam for 'Nam. The rest have just felt like generic solider-man shooters. ---

BFV, somewhat. BF1, not at all. To be fair, its hard for me to be immersed in any game. I almost never feel like I’m the character I’m playing as in most games, no matter how much time I spend in them. At least in BFV, I feel a more personal connection to my character, since I can customize how he looks, and make his weapon look how I want it. So I at least have a character and weapon that I made, and they look how I want. In BF1 I had a character that looked like the enemy because the character models were all fairly similar to me, and my weapons had designs in them that looks like they were made for a Columbian drug lord, lol. I felt no connection to my character, so I didn’t feel even slightly immersed. ---

BF1 atmosphere was awesome. The miserable muddy trenches. The period details in the mansion houses and castles. The old uniforms. The amazing vehicles and planes. The music and the soundscape. Little details like the old fashioned phrases the soldiers used to each other as you played. The destroyed factories and the golden fields separated by the trenches of the Somme was enough to give you goosebumps. The miserable, horrifying devastated landscape of Paschendaele with a burning forest on one side and acid gas crater ponds on the other was awesome in the true sense of the word. It was beautiful and dramatic. All that, and a really fun game. I almost felt guilty having fun playing a silly computer game when the feel of WW1 was evoked so well. BF5? Not so much. To be fair, it’s harder to make something ‘feel WW2-like’. The era isn’t quite so ‘alien’ to us as the turn-of-the-century WW1 is. There’s a lot of 1940s architecture still commonly around. There were electric lights and colour printing and ‘modern’ looking cars back then. WW2 uniforms look much more like modern ones. But I do feel DICE have missed the mark. It feels like just another modern shooter to me. The scenery feels too cluttered and random to be of any particular ‘style’, never mind WW2. If I’ve seen period posters or hoardings or shop fronts or whatever they weren’t distinct. If I’ve heard the soldiers talking to each it wasn’t memorable enough to recall now. Maybe I was just spoiled by BF1. ---

Neither of them really evoked that type of reaction for me. What really frustrates me is the customizable uniforms. I love the ability to customize my soldiers but as someone with a deep interest in WWII uniforms, I’m frustrated that Dice couldn’t faithfully reproduce the plethora of factual uniforms that existed. Instead, they felt it necessary to produce a bunch of quasi-authentic elements that make most people look as though a has gone ballistic in the 99c bin at the surplus store. There are tonnes of resources out there to base uniform elements off but Dice either dont bother to research or have just screwed the pooch again. Despite this, still loving the game. ---

I have never participated in WW1 or WW2 so I don’t have an idea how it should feel. ---

It doesn’t have the much of the WWII feel to it. I know it would never happen , but I think a change in the game music could do it. Maybe WWII era patriotic song or something. I think some WWII era art too. WWII propaganda posters etc. Something along those lines might do it. I’m definitely enjoying the game other than the medic class issue that’s being discussed plenty. Something does feel off though. I’m looking forward to the Americans, Russians, and I reallyyyyyyyyyy hope the Finnish involvement of the war gets brought into the game. The Winter War or the Continuation War would be great. The Suomi M31 being involved in the game is a good sign and would love to see the M28, 28/30, or 39 brought into the game. I really am excited to see the eastern front portion of the game. Stalingrad and Battle of Berlin would be intense and I think really make you feel like you are there if they do it right. I couldn’t wait for this game to come since I’ve been waiting for a great WWII game forever it feels so I hope this game ends up being what I waited so long for. ---

I noticed that the music was a bit off as well. Sounds the same as bf1. Maybe some Vera Lynn/Glenn Miller/Andrews sisters kinda stuff might help? Also waiting for the WOW moment. Remember the first time you saw the airship burn or shanghai tower collapse up close? I know it gets old after a few times but I was like whooooa! ---

About half the soldiers let out a high pitched scream when they die. This is all one needs to know about WW2 feels. Is it fun? Yes. Does it feel like authentic WW2? No. ---

If we zoom in non the particular part of the ‘far from realistic experience’ part of the realism axis where these games are, I’d say BFV is probably more realistic but that is mainly because WW2 was a more movable (= ‘game friendly’) war where WW1 was very static and most of the time seemed to be about artillery shelling (at least on western front), something the actual game almost completely left out (for good reasons). In BF1 it seemed like the attackers (in the asymmetric game modes) mostly won the games also but my impression from WW1 was that attackers almost always were repelled whereas in WW2 there are a lot more stories about successful attackers. In the end this does not matter much to me as I have no expectation of realism from a computer game. At least not this kind of game. ---
