This is a Battlefield experience through and through. However, I find myself staring more at the gaps in the menus than the accessible parts that are there. The promise of future content is a great thing, but not when you are constantly reminded of the voids it will fill. Fans will love this entry, and rightfully so, but in its current form Battlefield V won't be recruiting any new soldiers to this battle.

Battlefield is an interesting beast. One of the big names in online first person shooters it is perpetually at odds with its competition, not of its own accord but usually by rabid fan bases that have drawn a line in the sand. As such it is never granted the opportunity to exist as its own entity; always compared even when it doesn’t want to be. This has resulted in Battlefield attempting to find ways to set itself apart from the rest of the war shooters that exist, and for the most part, t...

DICE delivers a solid WWII shooter that leaves us wanting more solo-centric War Stories

7.5/10

Like a fresh recruit, Battlefield V was clearly deployed into action without adequate preparation. And a variety of bugs, underdeveloped features, and placeholder menu screens remind you of that at nearly every turn. However, there’s a great deal of raw potential here that could, with time and luck, be forged into one of the series’ best. Bold changes to Battlefield’s traditional gunplay, essential resources, and team dynamics create a strong foundation. On the single-player front, Battlefield V presents three short but distinct vignettes that weirdly focus on small-scale stealth instead of bombastic vehicular warfare. Their successful story moments aren’t really...

Battlefield V is flawed at launch, but it's clearly a game that is only going to get better with time. Future patches may iron out the bugs we encountered, and this time next month, the game will have a lot more content, including the much-discussed Tides of War mode. And by the time the battle royale and promised Combined Arms co-op mode roll around, it's likely that Battlefield V will be a must-have game for shooter fans. Anyone who can't wait to play the online multiplayer shouldn't hesitate to buy it now, but everyone else may want to hold off...

Battlefield 5 is a solid entry in the storied franchise but lacks a certain flair present in previous titles.

While I’m happy with what we got, I ultimately can’t help but wonder what another six months could’ve done for Battlefield V. In a business with virtually no downtime, that’s just the way it is.

They say all is fair in love and war, but Battlefield fans disagree. The lead-up to the series' return to World War II was firebombed by controversies centered on the role of women in virtual warfare, the perceived lack of authenticity in the new soldier customization system, and confusion over what exactly would be in the game on launch day. Once the dust settled and we finally stormed into the battle ourselves, the resulting game is far from the charred husk of Battlefield’s remains many haters anticipated. In fact, Battlefield V is the safest, most calculated release in the franchise’s...

Battlefield V is equal parts frustrating and great. This is mostly thanks to the incredibly high bar that its predecessor, Battlefield 1, set a few years ago.

From the polygonal paratroopers of Medal of Honor, to Call of Duty‘s all-out assault on the senses, there seemed to be a definite running theme of giving you big guns to single-handedly wipe out the Nazis.

What could have been the best Battlefield of the modern era fears like a mere shell of a game, with missing features, too little content, and far too many bugs.

After Battlefield 3 and 4 in modern settings, we jumped back into The Great War with Battlefield 1. That means that this time, as we revisit World War 2, the time has come, of course, for Battlefield V. Despite the puzzling numbering system, Battlefield V promises a bunch of new systems, a wide array of maps, and a new dedication to treating Battlefield V as a live service that can continually grow and evolve. Things started off shaky with the community response to the game’s reveal trailer, but after playing until my thumbs were raw I think the Battlefield community...

Battlefield V ultimately feels like a lateral release with little pushing the franchise forward when you judge it by what’s here and not what may or may not come.

Battlefield V is a beautiful game that introduces some interesting new mechanics into an otherwise familiar genre. Combat is lethal but thrilling, and teamwork is more important than ever. The campaign is adequate, but you're not missing much if you skip it.

Battlefield V scratches an itch that many will have had since Battlefield 4. DICE have found a great feel for the gunplay, the tweaks to classes and additions like fortifications largely work as intended, and the way that Grand Operations have evolved brings a refreshing variety to the game. Sure, it’s around the edges at launch and with some largely forgettable single play War Stories, Battlefield V is a diamond in the rough.

After spending quite a while with the game, I’m blown away that there’s still so much to discover. With dozens of collectibles to find in the single player campaign, a seemingly-unlimited number of weekly challenges, and the Tides of War looming large on the horizon, Battlefield V is the best this series has ever been, and easily the best FPS of the season.

Not as drastic a change up as its WW1 predecessor, nor as wild or wondrous, Battlefield 5’s deliberative design sidelines its strengths as a simulative sandbox.
