An update to my previous comment above…

Loving the game even more, and see how much potential this game has.

Additional Positives:

- fortification
- more strategic than previous bf

Additional beef with the game:

- foot steps (as in the lack of. major major problem and irritation)
- AA guns are way too weak (damage against planes is very low and it overheats too quick). Needs a buff for sure (major issue).
- kill cam not showing killers location if far away for me (please bring back like bf1… Want to see them tea bag me 😃 )
- cannot change teams
- team swap burried in options menu (not just a button on squad roster like bf1)
- spotting flare radius is very small
- smgs are too weak (damage). And many feel the same. Also, need variation in damage.
- tank numbers in Grand operations (that support tanks) need to be more (too few). Besides the fact that the game play needs more of them (the grand part and all)… I almost never get a chance to play them.

Needs a weapon balance or a hardcore mode. I shouldn’t have to pump 3 rounds into somebodies face to take them down, no matter the distance.  
And for some reason I can’t snipe for in BFV, just like I couldn’t in BF1. Haven’t been able to since 4.  
And then running into the occasional hax every other game is kinda lame too.

But I do love playing it. And it looks gorgeous, even on my old 980ti

try fighting a spitfire in a bomber when that spitfire has the x8 .307 machine guns. Even the JU 88 Dies in seconds.

You’ll suddenly realise its much more balanced than it appears.

I think the game is very good at it’s core, perhaps the best BF game in the last 10 years (or perhaps ever). If things just worked as intended.

After playing for a week, things begin to get frustrating and the issues annoys more than it should, small bugs/glitches, low TTD, bad visibility on some maps, missing sounds (footsteps/vehicles) and the clunky movement over terrain. The UI is just awful, with so much clicking and so many screens to go through.

I think that attrition gets a little boring after a while. It perhaps forces you to play with your squad, but often this is not possible (I’m playing with casuals/randoms) and you just spend too much time running around the map, looking for health and ammo.

I think that some core elements of BF need improvements and they didn’t get any, because of all the changes to the game-play used all their development time. The “netcode”, movement over obstacles and spawning all needs improvements.

It’s not as bad as BF4 was at launch, but it’s no way near BF1’s quality at launch.

It’s still a good game, but they should perhaps have waited some months with the launch. The amount of issues fixed from the beta is impressive, but it still feels like a ‘not finished product’ at this stage.

I love it. Only thing I hate is the bugs like infinite loading screens. The TTD and SMGs killing at medium to long ranges.

I really like it so far. Still learning how to play various guns mg34 anybody.  
I can’t wait for the training ground to come that was really missed in bf1 maybe now I can learn to fly properly.  
Yes it’s harder to run and gun but I am getting used to that and I prefer the spoting, atrition, fortification and just about everything over bf1.  
I can accept there are some bugs and things not finished yet especially with revives and medic class weapons but I have still been having lots of fun playing medic and competing for revives with other medics.  
Best thing for me is its more team focused just wish more people would turn there Mike on and join the party my game tag is Vaderpants on xbox 9-11:30 most night s.

Agree, Its way more balanced in CQ. Its not like in BF1 where you cound go on massive kill steak in the GS AP.  
If pilots know how to use the fighter then bombers are easy targets.  
Letting the Ju88 fly without any counter is just asking for trouble.  
Its so easy to shoot down in the spitfire with 8xmg.  
I don’t play operation but it seems that the problem with bombers is the same as in BF1.  
If the balance the bombers from operation I fear it will have a negative impact on CQ.

A few bugs and balance issues but over all the best expereice I had since BF3 and thats my personal favorite in the bf series of games. Having a blast!

You got it wrong. BF1 is a monster truck and rolls right over those 2. BFV is a Yugo, that’s about as foreign as I’ll give it,lol. Mercedes? Lol far from it.

The spawns are horrendous. I’ve spawned multiple times with players aiming at me, including right in front of a tank.

The revive mechanic is another very annoying thing. It takes such a long time. Even as a medic.

BF5 gameplay wise is 1 of the best BF,s for me. the only BF being better with gameplay is Bad company 2. never thought that i would enjoy BF5 because of the very thick layer of Political correctness and the atrocious marketing. but behind that layer of Political nonsense hides a very good game. Still sad it isn,t a full on 1942 remake what most of the veteran BF players wanted. but hey. if this is the best modern WW2 BF we are going to get. then i cannot let it slip.

A huge downside of BF5 currently is the lack of content. it would have been better to release the game 4-6 months later so that we would have the Soviets and maybe the Japanese to play with. the spotting system is something i like very much. now you actually have to use your eyes instead of playing a game of finding the triangle.

So far I’m having fun and liking the WW2 theme, although I’d rather would’ve seen a Cold War theme myself… But I just don’t get why some stuff isn’t in the game + bugs from previous titles are in the game; why the need to reinvent the wheel every single time and not learn from the mistakes!? 😑

- Map design has not a lot of useful cover (BF3 was really good in this regard)
- Lightening has been done with “pretty” in mind first, gameplay… not even second I think lol
- Medic guns are useless with the slightest hint of range
- Guns feel more skilled but weird, the STG is actually one of the few that “feels” good

More like:

BF4 is an uber: with all that heat seeking stuff and aim assist you tell bullets what they should hit and they will find the target by themselves  
BF1 is a Lamborghini Miura: it’s only metter of time till it catch fire or explode  
BF5 is a Dethleffs: find a good spot and spend there all the match
