So as someone who has been branded as an “extremely negative hater” by some in the community, I think it’s incredible that DICE has finally created a Battlefield title that has restocked the adrenaline I get when playing the multiplayer. I despised my colleagues in the press for rating the game so good because they played it as a press event instead of a live setting, so their review didn’t reflect at all the broken state the game was in and stayed in for six months. I spent a lot of time praising the game, and it’s what pushed me to join Battlefieldo as a staff writer because I loved it so much way back in 2013. This is coming from someone who has had a love-hate relationship franchise ever since Battlefield 3 launched.
You might ask yourself how this can be, and I’m surprised by my feelings myself. DICE took what Battlefield 1 did right, but gave it that addicting “I want to play this game until the sun comes back up,” feeling that only Battlefield 3 had. After spending 10 hours of gunning down Nazis, hearing the agony of being shot, the cries for a medic, and being wowed by the locations this game goes to, I have to say upfront that this is the best Battlefield multiplayer since Battlefield 3. Let’s get to the bread and butter of this review – The Multiplayer. Soldiers Never Die, They’re Just Missing in Action Quick side tip for those who hate playing the single-player of a game mainly focused on multiplayer: You can unlock unique weapons by completing those chapters. That’s not to say it’s the best single-player portion of a shooter of all time, but it is the best single-player portion of any Battlefield game to date.

With excellent voice acting and mo-cap, I felt like I was watching an HBO series produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. These War Stories, as DICE calls them, tell the tales of incredible feats by the underdogs, and in Battlefield V, it’s no different.ĭICE does a beautiful job of executing high action and emotion in an anthology-esque single-player campaign.
#BATTLEFIELD V REVIEW TV#
Since Battlefield 1, DICE has opted out of its cliché, and disastrous single-player campaigns of past Battlefield titles (They sucked, and that’s a fact) and have decided its far more entertaining and relevant to tell the stories you don’t hear about in documentaries, TV shows, and movies. It seemed to plenty of people that the ones criticizing the game forgot that it is just that - a game. They relished in the outrage that many of them would probably denounce if it were some other subject. They rallied around its supposed low pre-order numbers.
Thread after thread, comment after comment, everywhere Battlefield V was, so were the people angriest about its direction. “Historical accuracy,” and “Historical authenticity,” became the battle cry of a community that expected something DICE hadn’t even promised.
Unlike its predecessor that took the FPS genre and the series to a new and virtually unexplored era, Battlefield V was heading back home to its World War 2 roots, and the expectations on DICE were massive. Like the war the game is based on, Battlefield V was met with incredible backlash and skepticism when it was announced earlier this year.
