Battlefield V

For those old enough to remember the original BF1942 music :banana:


Good Gravy that score is so Epic! I always associate it with Bad Company because that's the first BF I played. They started really messing with it in BF 3, but it still had the general theme. I don't know why it's turned into the generic mess it is now (ok, it sounds fine, but just makes me think of every "cool sounding" hanz zimmer song...

I played the opening mission(s). I'm a long time BF fan (way back to the beta of 1942) so I may be a little biased :)

I really am enjoying it. Looks gorgeous on the X1X. I think the WW2 setting is going to have what BF1 lacked. Flying planes is amazing.

I don't want to bother with multiplayer until Thursday as I'll use my 10 hours quickly.

Again I just played a bit and I'm a total fanboy so take my comments in context.
 
I've been playing the multiplayer and I really like it. I played two new maps that weren't in the beta and they were great. Twisted Steel and Arras.
One thing I found was it's not a good idea to go to a flag by yourself. This game is more squad based than BF1. Feels like there's more action in BFV than BF1.
Controls are tight, graphics are fantastic, and sound, of course, is top notch.
 
I think my wife is getting me this for Christmas. I don’t mind waiting I’m still having a blast with BO4. Going to probably use my trial during Thanksgiving break to try out the MP. I’m really hyped for this game!

Wasn't looking forward to this at all but figured I'd grab Access Premier since the price isn't too bad considering the games that will be available including Anthem. Have only played through the prologue so far but will probably check out online today.
 
A very long but good overview on the game. I can't wait until Friday. Based on the beta and the little I played in my 10 hour trial, they really got the gunplay back to where it should be.

 
Playing conquest with randos is not fun. 20 out of the 32 people on my team were barricading point E while the other team had points A...B...C...D...and F. Yeah...

i had 3 games in a row play out exactly the same... we start out by dominating, then people get needy and rush the furthest flag, they eventually go behind us and turn it around...

3 games ended: 0-23, 0-24, 0-26...

i couldn't believe how identical the games were.. i was furious lol i would much rather lose all the way through then be dominating half way and watch as they make a comeback with me having no power to stop it
 
Played a bit and wow the visuals are improved which is great considering it was already crowned best console graphics by me.
The HDR is the best i ever saw in a video game.

Wow better HDR than Sea of Thieves? To me that game has two things going for it, excellent HDR and pretty water.

It will get better over time. Right now you have a bunch of people trying the game for free who have no clue.

Take control of your squad and lead an attack on another flag. I did this many times in BF1. Request and order and you'll be given control of the squad. Kick anyone out who doesn't follow orders (people who just go prone in the middle of nowhere and snipe all game).
 
Deluxe edition (at least on Xbox) releases tomorrow at 11Pm eastern US time! :banana:

Some good tips in this video (it is a little long as most are but still pretty good)

Yep, but Thursday I mean *cough* not be feeling *cough* very well. :)

Although I added some work people as Xbox friends so that probably isn't a good idea.
