> [@DrunkOnRedWine](#): > > > [@BURGERKRIEG](#): > > > > I think the full game is out in December 😏 > > December 2019 😃 Right - they now issued a Beta to fix the bugs and get feedback from the early adopters. I think it is a complete topic misconduct and offers no new highlights concerning gameplay, team communication, graphics, strategy that can‘t be found in BF1. BF1 is the choice of warfare gameplay IMHO. ---

You’re going to get different perspectives as with any battlefield, and as with any battlefield changes will come that will change the game but for now: - Squads are a must, I’ve found a few people more talkative in this one than in BF1, which is nice since you need to communicate and sync with your squad a lot. - Ammo is scarce but can be picked up from enemies, it is a big improvement from the Beta - TTK is way quicker, you need to be on your toes at all times and react quickly, good or bad thing is really up to what you prefer. - Classes seem to feel a bit more unique with abilities and certain perks (medic revives quicker/heals, support can throw ammo and spot easier when suppressing, etc) - Weapons with a sense of progression for unlocks + cosmetics is a nice addition - Haven’t used too many vehicles, but tanks need support from ground troops they can’t just run in solo any longer. - Maps are big, and have multiple lanes, and flanks I personally like most of them. - Spotting has changed but again, adds to it being more hardcore and not just spam spotting which I also like. - Looks incredible and sounds amazing as well Overall I like the game a lot, found some squadmates already, having a blast playing with my team, and with free expansions coming I personally recommend it if you like the battlefield series. You can always try the EA club thing for $10 a month and play it for 10 hours (if they still have it) instead of paying the $60 in case you don’t like it. ---

_Disclaimer_ I’m 11hrs into BFV as I have an extremely busy job and a wife I actually like spending time with. I’m certainly no super-trooper killing machine. I have an unselfish playstyle and can hold my own. I love a squad that sticks together and communicates. Everything below is my opinion. I’m not asking people to take it as fact. 🙂 The Good Scouts: The adjustments to the Scout class have been positive. The removal of the sweet spot mechanic and the changes to damage models have meant that I have to earn my kills. I have no issue with the glare from the scopes. If I want to headshot and kill someone from far away, there’s going to be a certain amount of risk I need to be willing to take. That risk is the glare. I have never really played much Scout but am finding it challenging and enjoyable. It requires adaptation but it is certainly a positive step for the class and overall gameplay after BF1. Tanks: I feel like the relative weakness of tanks in this game is another positive. The tank needs to be used as a strategic asset on the battlefield, not the battering ram that vanquishes all in its wake. Allied and Axis doctrine in WWII revolved around the reciprocal arrangement of infantry and armour supporting each other for survival. Of note, the Panzerfaust was a rocket propelled shaped charge - in the hands of a savvy soldier, it only took one to destroy a tank. The vulnerability of armour in this game actually makes for a better experience for both the tanker and infantry. Spotting: I originally hated the removal of 3D spotting but have grown to love the advantages and risks it provides. The slower pace of BFV means employing different tactics where stealth is a must. Yes the enemy is harder to see. Yes it is one of the factors that is helping to promote the ‘campy’ nature of this title. For me, it required a change in mindset and approach to achieving the necessary outcome. The Bad TTK/TTD: Plenty has been said on this topic. I am sure Dice will adjust it accordingly. Kill Cam: Reintroduction of the Kill Cam will help to address the current camping culture. Camping is currently a low risk - high reward playstyle that is counterproductive to team play and PTO but great for padding those stats. Class Balance: Assault is clearly the go to class in the current environment as a result of the combination of TTK/TTD and their weapon stats. If I’m struggling, I turn to Support - the KE7 obviously needs some adjustment. I think that Scout, as previously discussed, is in a good space. Medic… plenty has already been said. Some serious adjustments need to be made here. BF1 medics argued that they were not well equipped for CQB - in BFV Dice gave them SMGs - with half the parts missing! You see very few medics in game - the weapons are unreliable (although I’m doing OK with the MP40) and danger of the revive mechanic (again when combined with the TTK/TTD and more camping) means it’s not really a go to class at the moment. I don’t think SLRs as an all class weapon is the solution. I hope they don’t go down that road. The Ugly Aircraft: In one round on Hamada last night, 3/4 of my deaths were the result of the JU88. There’s a few topics talking about it. Last night reminded me of the bad old BF1 days of the Trench Fighter. Trying to defend the bridge on Twisted Steel is also pretty futile if the enemy is set on farming infantry. It’d be nice to see a fighter get up and take the bomber down but that rarely happens. In a stats v team progression race, stats win every time. The Maps: Are visually stunning, huge but designed to heavily favour one side (in some game modes) and encourage camping. Hamada is the best example - The Germans control all the high points and have excellent fields of view of all approaches - it’s a map designed for slaughter. This is compounded by the TTK/TTD, lack of kill cam and the ground attack aircraft. 4 Person Squads: I joined a squad that had a guy flying a bomber, a dude on an AA gun not hitting anything and a sniper conducting overwatch going 7-16. With a 5 person squad, you have a better chance of a bit of team cohesion and getting a squad revive. It makes me wonder why we are locked into 64 player for conquest - make it 70 player - 14 squads of 5. That’d be heaps better on these huge maps. Overall, I’m enjoying the challenges BFV is presenting. I’m still waiting for squads to start working together but that’s a people thing. Dice have put in the mechanics to encourage team play - it’s up to the community to step up to the challenge. I would love to see some adjustments sooner rather than later - tweak just 5 things and I think this game will be a real winner. ---

IMO Better than BF1: - Character customization, no more class clone soldiers. - Grand Operations. - Breaktrough. like BF1 Operations but without “forcing” you to play most than one map. - Each nation have its own vehicles. - Fortification system, not present in BF1. - Class specialization system. - Weapons are unlocked by leveling (at the moment at least), I hated the “kill 50 people with that particular pistol and blow up 5 tanks with dynamite to unlock this machinegun” missions. Worse than BF1: - TTK too fast, you cannot expose more than 3 seconds or you are death. - Cannot autosupply or resupply grenades with the support gadgets. I know some people hate grenade spaming but I loved it, and I miss gas grenades. - All classes cannot use all types of grenades. - No spotting. - Death system too long. - No bayonets. - Very few and unsatisfactory gadgets for classes (at the moment). Except assault class (my less played class) and his terminator loadout. - The current maps are pretty “meh” in terms of gameplay and ambientation except Devastation which is very good and Fjell is directly bad. ---

Battlefield games are usually pretty fun no matter what. This one, it’s ok to play. It’s like that new deadpool trailer, when fred savage tells deadpool it’s like if the beatles were produced by nickleback. It be music, but it would suck. Well, this game, same thing, it be like if nickleback produced this game. It be a Battlefield game, but it sucks. Too much SJW things being shoved in my face as a consumer before release. Being told as a consumer we are all idiots by this company. I don’t forgive and forget so easily. The trend for modern battlefield games seems more interested in how to milk as much money out of you, over substance and quality releases. The game is rushed, basic things that should be included in the game are not. I mean they had 4 games already to get platoons and emblems going.. why is this so hard to implement into this game. Why is rush mode not in the game at launch? Why is a shooting range not in the game at launch? Why is it in 4 months, the only thing to look forward to is 2 maps. I have Zero interest in battle royal. When BF3 released, it only took 2 months for 4 maps to be released (back to karkand). I dont need safe space chatboxes on the PC version. Were all big boys i think we can handle some swear words. That’s why you can close it with H, for HIDE. I’m not digging the GI Jane characters, please just get that crap out of the battlefield series. Lack of German , japan, Russia, USA is a disappointment. This is just a WW2 dress up themed game, not a real ww2 game. The progression system is pretty much grinding for crappy costumes. The movement is great, and the tweaks i can live with, but in all the maps are just garbage. The game isn’t very fun to play at times. It gets old very fast. Breakthrough sucks, they ruined frontlines, and grand operations, i could care less about that as well. The no spotting, minimal health is just us being forced to play hardcore mode from past previous battlefield games. Nothing new, nothing special. fortifications is a damn joke. Everything about this game rubs me wrong, from the chick on the cover, to the silly looking characters, bad gun balance, vehicle balance, bugs, horrible UI, horrible menu system, the stupid tier system they have on the guns and the vehicles. If i could take the few good things about V, like the new movements, the blood splatters on deaths and on the gun, and put it into bf1, this game would be nothing more than just a crap expansion pack. If they don’t get a proper rent o server program going for it, and more content in the next few months, the game is going to die out fast. I don’t believe in the “hang in there for us” thing dice. You want your ship not to sink, then tell your shareholder boses to loosen the leash and make great games again. So for now, i’m just going to play out my 15$ trial of the game, and after that wait for it to be the bargain special for 30$. ---
