Battlefield V

If you want to see the best HDR in a game, play Forza Horizon 4. Untouched.
 
Shows how f***ed gaming is these days. Pay 79.99 instead of 59.99 you get to play sooner. Scary!

This game emphasizes squad play. If you get on a squad who lone wolf's it then get out and join another one.
 
Looks like the game has fast start technology or whatever MS calls it.

This is huge. You get squad points (forget what they are called) for following orders. In BF1, people largely ignored these things.

When you join a squad, if there's no order on screen, request one. If there's no response, you become squad leader. Too few people (at least on console) understand these systems.
 
Yeah the deal they had through BF1 was great (and you can get BF1 free through EA Access). I don't remember what I paid but it wasn't $79.99 for sure.

People need to remember that this is NOT Star Wars Battlefront 2.

-Microtransactions are cosmetics only (as it should be).
-Absolutely no pay to win - unlocks all through gameplay only.
-No paid DLC. No maps to buy down the road.

I know "EA sucks" but they did this one right. You can play on Tuesday for $60 and not have to spend any more. They actually listened from the last time and did it right.

They listened to the battlefront 2 critic and somehow f***ed up in semi new ways. Game seems to be the most unstable game since battlefield 4, battle royal mode almost half a year away and this pay more to play earlier is nothing but a new scheme to make up for the money the lost on battlefront 2.
I'm all for big gaming companies, honestly, I love ubisoft, nintendo (yeah, I hate them also), sony, Microsoft, Bethesda etc. but I'm not blind to greed. Companies make games to make money, I work to make money while selling services, doesn't mean I cast my morals aside and milk my customers any way I can.
Honestly, EAs s***ty lead deserves this game flopping too, otherwise I'm pretty sure they'll just think battlefront 2 was a perfect storm never to happen again. Feel bad for the devs though.

You sound like my son and other ignorant COD fans.
SWBF2 was FIXED a day before it launched yet ignorant people keep attacking EA for it.
Sad
 
Yeah I don’t get the SW BF2 hate. I got it right after release and I had no problems with the game. It played and looked great.

Also have no problem with them letting people get the game early. But hey, we live in a society where people complain about everything.
 
So um yea this game is freaking awesome. I can't believe the amount of small details that has gone into this, sound design is in a league of it's own once again. This weekend is my chance to get red dead out my system before this consumes my life.

I do wish they did a bit more with all the squad points you acquire.

This game is amazing. Hedon jumped in my squad, but I couldn't do much other than die horribly. Can't play much more tonight but going to go crazy this weekend. If you played BF1 and you didn't quite like it, this is so much better. Totally gets back to the roots of BF.

I managed to call in a V1 rocket or whatever it is called and leveled a house. Totally amazing.

Don't listen to the haters. People just default into hate EA mode.

Yeah, this game is pretty good. I captured a ton of flags and went 5 and 6. I finished in the top 10 in my first full game. The game is also VERY pretty!
 
I had BF1 and could not get into it. I loved the beta for this.

No offense, but you've clearly never played the game. You're just repeating copy/paste EA hate that every game gets.

Because the game isn't as good as the OG SW BF2, doesn't have as much content as it, and also had a pay to win gameplay model at first.

Not as good as the OG swbf2 but doesn't need to be to still be good.

Pay to win model was removed prior to launch.

Ignorance across the net doesn't know this.
 
Ok I just pulled the trigger and I'm downloading now. Battlefield games have always had amazing sound and I can't wait to play this with my Astro A50s.
 
Played beta and wasn't impressed.

Played full game via EA Access for 2 hours last night and loved every second of it. I think this may very well be the best console BF so far.

visually amazing (OG Xbox)
Audio is amazing.
Gameplay is fantastic.
Some of the maps are fantastic...Hamada, Twisted Steel, Arras. Think Twisted Metal is my fav right now.

The difference in gunplay from BF1 is huge. Guns feels and sound nice and meaty.

Customization looks decent.

I do think the weapon specializations and class archetypes are disappointing, though. Way too few options imo.

Saw you playing last night and was about to ask you if you if you liked it - but that answers that. I'll stick in a monthly sub for EA Access and get the ten hour trial.
