Last week we had our look at Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and earlier this week, we got our first glimpse of Battlefield V during an admittedly terrible live reveal event. If you missed it, you can find our coverage by clicking through here.
As was heavily rumoured, Battlefield V throws players into World War II. We only got a short look at some "gameplay", but the developers talked at length about what we can expect. The question is, are you up for it?

The trailer made it look a little bad, maybe I'll be more convinced when I see an actual match.
PS. EA says no premium pass, no loot boxes, but still I feel there's a catch somewhere lol
Not enough snowboards and Uber tricks for me. Looks like Battlefield though, so I'm sure it'll find its audience.
going to smash cod
Seems decent enough as long as EA don't offer the girls real arm as a microtransaction.
I have been impressed with EA's recent offerings outside of the sports games. BF1, Titanfall, NFS & ME have been really good.
I think CoD dropped the ball last year with WWII. It was ok, but I neither me or my gf were pulled to finish it.
Didn't like the trailer much but am intrigued by the scifi elements like the lady with the claw hand.
@Rudy_Manchego that's not syfy lol
@RoyalD Why not?
its a prosthetic
The trailer was decent, you have to remember there was a three hour presentation given to influencers and press that went a great deal more in to changes and additions to the game that we never got to see. Jackfrags and Angry Joe have great videos that give a much better idea about the new Battlefield. Day one for me.
I know the trailer was kinda simulating a MP match but, the game looked a bit cartoony to me, especially when compared to the excellent BF1.
I hope the vignettes are great in this game, that's the main reason I loved BF1.
BF trailers are always dodgy, but the games are usually much much better. Havnt played a WW2 game in yonks, and loved BF1s war stories so im game.
@Rudy_Manchego yeah I'm gunna say again that the arm isn't sci-fi. But at the same time I don't think in reality they'd have had someone on the front lines operating with a prosthetic like she does. That kind of arm is good for like.. clumsily swatting a book open.
@kyleforrester87 Sorry, didn't realise that there were soldiers with blue face paint and full arm prosthetics that moved and could be used to fire rifles and machines, not to mention hold and use cricket bats with in WW2. Admittedly, that would have made that Dunkirk movie more exciting.
@Rudy_Manchego Well, yeah thats the thing, it seems like everything in the video was around in those times they've just taken some..artistic license. And Dunkirk was good.
@Rudy_Manchego Don't forget that one soldier wielding a katana
It's honestly hard for me to get hyped for a shooter without something that really sets it apart, and I've been tired of WW2 as a setting for ages. I just hope the fans enjoy it.
It's great there's no season pass and all that, but being an EA game, you know.....
Not sure why there ins't an option for "woooman" on the poll
To be honest the trailer looked fine, not overly serious in tone but looks like it could be fun.
@Octane You do realize that katans were common in WWII especially in the Pacific theater due to the Japanese.
If anyone is actually curious about the changes and what the game could be please watch Jack Frags video on it. He does a way better job than what Dice did at the reveal. He said that dice dropped the ball with the trailer but the game actually looks pretty good.
As for the game itself I am more excited for this then Black Ops 4. I like the setting, and I am kinda wanting the slower pace that Battlefield brings to the table compared to CoD. This one might be my shooter for this year.
As a Battlefield player - can't say I am a 'BIG' fan as Hardline and BF1 weren't my thing - but I do like FPS games, I was quite disappointed. I have said before, I don't really like the 'historical' settings of real life wars and would rather see 'alternative' history than 'real life' where these events are trivialised into a 'game'. So that didn't help.
As for the trailer, it seemed too 'CoD' - shooting grenades out the air, dolphin diving etc and the way the trailer was constructed seemed to go for that big cinematic spectacle that CoD has been synonymous with - it looked arcade-y and cartoon-y too. I liked both CoD and BF and enjoyed hem because they were on opposites sides of the military FPS genre. I have no doubt that some aspects will remain at opposite ends - like scale of maps/battles, vehicles etc but they do seem to be closing that gap.
Its almost certainly not a day 1 (neither is CoD this year either) but maybe will look to pick it up in a post-Christmas sale or even later in its life cycle. 2019 is looking to be quite a busy year and busy Q1 with some games opting to release then to avoid RDR2, so it may be a while before I have time to invest in BFv
@mrobinson91 I got a Inglorious Bastards feeling with it i loved it. 😁
Battlefield 1 was more dreary, this one they decided to make more colourful for a change. Don't see a problem with it.
@Tasuki Yes, in south-east Asia, where the Japanese fought. Not in Europe though. And I highly doubt British soldiers were allowed to enter the battlefield with a katana.
If the war story is as good as battlefield 1, I'm in. The trailer is weird though, it's more cartoony and cod like, with all the shouting and explosion and...cyborg arm?
I like the somewhat more cartoony look of this one, but it's still a Battlefield game, which means I will likely never play it.
I played Battlefield 4 to death. I did't like the setting in Battlefield 1 and only played a couple of multiplayer matches. Still not a fan of games set in WWII - it's been done too many times. I'll probably get this in the hope that the next iteration will be a modern setting again.
Katana wielding dude jumping out of window like naruto!
I liked Battlefield up to 4. BF1 was very disappointing to me and couldn't get into it.
So far this sounds much more promising than CoD but need to see more of the SP...
I've sunk 100+ hours into previous Battlefield games but Battlefield 1 didn't click with me due to not being keen on the historical settings. Give me something like sequel to Bad Company 2 and I will be on it day 1.
didn't do it for me.. but i'm not a huge fan of the historical setting either, and much of what i heard/saw seemed like same old battefield. for me, i have always preferred the battlefield bad company games rather than the main entries. both the BFBC games had fun campaigns and brilliant multiplayer. i hated battlefield 3, battlefield 4 was decent about a year after release after extensive patching and all the map packs were available. hardline just looked crap, and i didn't much care for BF1.. poor map design just turned it into a camping sniperfest. actually the map design has been poor for the last few games, especially for modes like rush. rush was great in bad company, but the maps for BF3/4/1 seemed to have been designed solely for accomodating 64-player conquest, and the rest of modes of crowbarred in, so the layout/terrain etc. just doesn't fit for some of those modes.
@Hapuc Let's watch the language and insults please.
Thanks for understanding
@Tasuki Um ok dunno what's insulting.
Well this has an actual game in it so it's already ahead of that other nonsense. This looks decent so far, the presentation was a bit rubbish but the game looks good and one I'll be keeping an eye on
Hmm I tried bf1 and found it too hard . Enemies killed you far too easy . Seems quite inaccurate historically with metal arms and bit feminist. So on the fence
@Hapuc I am not going to argue. Just please watch it.
Need to see gameplay before I compare the meerkats
Like Battlefield as a series, but don't care about this at all. Wasn't interested in BF1 either. Not interested in rehashing 'old' wars, and WW2 has been done to death in numerous previous CoD/MoH games... and at least those had lengthy single-player campaigns.
I'll stick with BF4 if and when I want to play online (which is rare, since it's always the same frantic mess whichever game you play), and live in hope of Bad Company 3.
I don't know, lets wait for some proper gameplay video I guess...
