As someone who didn’t enjoy Battlefield 1, I absolutely HATE Battlefield V so much that it made me look back on the previous installment with warm feelings. I bought this game, played for several hours and immediately refunded it. It is such a massive downgrade in every way it’s hilarious. Nevermind missing features that were present in Battlefield 3, 4, and “1.” I’m talking basic features too, such as team balancing and swapping, being able to play without being in a squad, customizing vehicles without having to be lucky enough to claim one. There are still an absurd amount of bugs and the maps are the smallest of any game in the series to date. It feels like I’m playing Battlefield Heroes.
I don’t want to go on a rant but this game feels like it was oursourced. It’s complete and total garbage and makes me yearn for the classics such as 1942 and Battlefield 2, games with huge maps, mostly balanced game play (I’m lookg at you, jets), and love put into the development without a lot of corporate publisher interference. Oh, and let’s not forget mod support! Something that DICE / EA took out starting with BF3 citing that modding the game would be too hard for people to do, so why have it? It just feels like a slightly larger Call of Duty now.
