Battlefield V’s multiplayer, for what it’s worth, does retain the feel of a true Battlefield experience with its huge maps once again cleverly crafted to bring competitive battles. In the multiplayer side of things, this is a gleaming positive. It’s fast and fluid, the weapons feel weighted and realistic, and the game looks absolutely amazing – especially when played on an Xbox One X.
In Battlefield V though, this isn’t the case, and it’s also not the only thing with an irritating ‘coming soon’ message attached to it.Īs for the gameplay itself, besides the overbearing stealth factor used throughout the game’s War Stories, what is available is generally what you’d expect from a Battlefield title. Now I know what you’re thinking, patience and all that, and usually I’d agree as most Battlefield titles usually have more than enough content requiring your attention to even warrant worrying about what’s to come later. Currently this is accompanied by the irritating ‘coming soon’ message. The main issue I have when it comes to War Stories however is the fact that whilst there are four within the game, only three are currently accessible with The Last Tiger set to arrive later in December. Of course, should you have some luck on your side it can be done but more often than not, going in guns blazing will see you shot down before you have the chance to even find cover, let alone get behind it. There’s an overly heavy focus on stealth throughout these missions and whilst it may be seen as realistic to have players creeping up on enemy soldiers, it does take away from the fun when you’re quickly overrun by going in trigger happy.
Whilst they do a fairly decent job of this, it’s not quite a Battlefield story. There are meant to be four unique War Stories in Battlefield V along with a Prologue that make up the overall story, with each of these telling the tale of the war from different perspectives of those on the frontlines. There are numerous reasons for this, but the first is one that initially left me feeling frustrated – Battlefield V isn’t a finished product. Battlefield V on the other hand has done nothing to impress upon that and instead has left me with a sour taste in the mouth.
I wasn’t exactly a fan of this method in Battlefield 1, but with the story proving powerful and engaging I went along with it and appreciated that which was being told at the end. In Battlefield V, the story is broken down much like that of its predecessor Battlefield 1, with short War Stories making up the campaign rather than a fully-fledged multiple chapter outing. No matter how much time we all inevitably spend getting sucked into multiplayer though, for me the story is always the first port of call. I’ve killed thousands upon thousands of unsuspecting players in the multiplayer and maxed out everything on offer every single time, enjoying it all thoroughly along the way.
BATTLEFIELD 5 RATING SERIES
I’m a big Battlefield fan, I’ve played every title in the series for what feels like hours, weeks, months and maybe even years.
