My biggest problem with this game is that for me it’s just not as fun as previous BF games (except Hardline which I never played). Old or new TTK. I can not play more than one or two rounds before getting bored. Maybe I am over the whole Battlefield series. I wish I could get back to the old BF 1942 days. BFV doesn’t even feel like a WW2 game… the only thing that could save this game for me would be adding all the cool BF 1942 maps. But since we don’t get map packs anymore, we will probably just get one or two maps, and even that is questionable now with the poor sales. So no servers that just run the BF1942 map pack for me either…
Overall I think only a brilliant Battle Royale mode can save this game, nothing else will at this point.
Worst BF game I’ve played for more than a few hours. I’ve played every BF game since BF2 and loved just about all of them. Yes, even Hardline. BF1 was great at the start but I didn’t get quite as many hours out of it and felt like it got boring way faster. Still I consider it a better game than this effort.
Biggest issue is that the maps are horrible. Three are good. Three are poor. And two are abysmal. Vehicle / Infantry balance is horrible. Gunplay is okay but action is spammed due to map design and other gameplay issues. I hate what they did to vehicle transports. I don’t like the tank action. Plus it has a lot of technical issues and one of the worst menus in gaming.
I guess the bad reviews are right for this game. It’s just boring for the most part. The maps are flat and a few of them even seem like the same map over and over (like how many are the countryside with same buildings, fields and terrain). The act of shooting and the battles aren’t even very enjoyable in this game. I have no interest in fortifications either and think that just slows down gameplay. I’m still trying to play it, but it seems like a chore.
Game is good but could have been great like BF3. Gunplay is easily the games strongest card. Some of the decisions DICE have made have been odd (TTK) and the current list of growing issues, visibility, CC, positional sound bug, TTD bug should have been resolved by now. We are all still awaiting news of a patch, some information would be good…
I’m going to talk some positives, sound is terrific - particularly the guns. Fortifications is a good addition - like building up areas for bipod stand with MG 34 or Lewis. Some of the maps are amongst my favourite maps of all BF maps (CQ Devastation) . I really like the music - really atmospheric - I would like to turn it off in-game though, especially at the start of a round.
A serious letdown so far and it just keeps getting better with every airdrop. The weapon specialisation is a joke. You literally just upgrade the weapon so it functions well. The main focus seems to be on cosmetics, not the actual game. I’d refund if I could.
There are lots to like about the game. It can be good fun. But it does lack the ability to play with a strategic purpose, other than ptfo or run n gun. This aspect is too codlike for me.
The fixed installations are next to useless as you just get sniped instantly, so they’re pointless.
Theres a good number of minimap cheats as Ive tested and found. Try it.
I seem to be shot with increasing regularity when inside a building. Ive shot people outside somehow too, in one memorable instance I was just firing my last shot to auto reload and that shot headshotted someone. I have no explanation for that. WTF?
The bipod is a mixed blessing, esp on mg42. Its unreliable and this unreliability has caused me no amount of premature deaths.
As with all bf games there too many snipers camping. 1 per squad is enough. I sometimes am the only other non sniper in a squad.
I play support and currently it doesnt match its dscription. I lay covering fire for my squad away from cap but it doesnt play as well as pre bf4.
The kill cam is useless. I need to hunt my killers down, esp snipers as I enjoy knifing them immensely. Sometimes, as in bf4 and before, that was my gamestyle. Sniper hunting and hassling. This is great for a team.
I dont wish to be in a squad sometimes, esp when trying new things out as it brings the squad down. I want to play alone sometimes whilst I test new guns or assignments etc.
I like the game, but its buggy, inconsistent and strange things happen.
Go hide somewhere, away from everthing, dont fire and remain there. See people come round corner and find you and have you aimed at as they do. Like they know you were there. Once or twice and its incidental, but its happened way too often. Besides its all the chat on those cheat sites. ‘Use minimap cheat only as bots and hacks are detectable’. Thier words, not mine.
The game will get fixed like every other BF game. It just takes time. The biggest problem is the player base. About 75% of the games I play the majority of teams have clueless players who spawn in with the wrong class or bring out tanks which are almost useless to help your team out.
I just played Hamada attacking. 22 snipers and an AA tank from the get go. That’s almost a guaranteed loss. That’s basically 23 players not even remotely going for an objective. They don’t find a way to fix the overwhelming number of players who think you can snipe your way to a win the game is doomed
No clue how they can fix it but it’s definitely this games biggest issue and why the majority of my friends don’t enjoy playing it. Almost every good player on my friends list has the same complaint, that objective play is almost non existent. Only thing I can think of is to just remove bolt actions from the game and give them DMR’s so they have to actually move
This game is entirely catered to the recon and support class. About half the assault players think rockets are for players and don’t even attempt to attack vehicles and simply play TDM inside all game modes. Even the map design is built for sniping. That you can sit on that bridge on Twisted Steel in the first sector of Breakthrough is a joke
They should have spent amother year on the game. Everything is wrong with it: from the gunplay being sporadic and the the explosived doing seemingly random damage,; to the ttd; the tanks; the netcode…everything is subpar and needs a long of work. I’ve gone back the BF1 just for some stability. I’ll give BF5 another go in 4months or so, when it’s “better”
The game is fun but the number of hackers is getting bigger. AE isnt doing anything about it. When you have 2 players who have a k-d score 62-2 on one side the game is no fun at all. Id like EA to fix the cheaters.
