Is Battlefield 5 Worth It in 2024?

[@40splishsplash]

Today I'm checking out if Battlefield 5 is worth it in 2024! The game has recently seen an increase when it comes to people playing the game, so it's time to check out BF5, that was released six years ago (2018) and is one of the epic Battlefield games that you should try out at some point!

[@jlj8808]

More players probably means people are getting sick and tired of playing Call of Duty, which is becoming a horrible game. Welp, unless you spend a crap ton of money. 😂

[@40splishsplash]

Yes, you have a good point. That's also a reason why I go back and play some older games once in a while :)

[@BornInArona]

Yes, good ttk... Good movement... Good maps for inf or vehicles... Good looking... Nice weapons...

[@40splishsplash]

True that..Really nice to go back and play some of the older BF games :)

[@jonny-b4954]

And an amazing fortifications system. It also has HMGs and Cannons around the map as emplacements. Just classic BF with the best movement in the series.

[@40splishsplash]

@@jonny-b4954 Thanks for your comment!

[@mauricio2085]

great video, I'm glad that the game is safe to play for now and I hope EA implements EA anti cheat to more games in the franchise in the future.

[@40splishsplash]

Thanks for saying! Yes, I hope that there are less cheaters now in BF5, compared to when I played the game in April.

[@rinzzzlr6149]

Honestly, dice needs to stop pumping out new games and keep supporting some of their older titles. I would love to see more updates to BF4 or even BF3

[@40splishsplash]

Good comment! Yes, bigger devs and publishers should start to take care of their games better. At least the EA Anti Cheat system will now also be added into BF1, but there's more to it as well. Not to mention Activision that leaves most Cod games behind after the new yearly release has been made.

[@rinzzzlr6149]

@@40splishsplash it’s definitely great news to have anti cheat in BF1. That used to be my favorite BF before it was infested with hackers. It’s just sad to see all the older BF titles (the best BF games imo) be abandoned.

[@40splishsplash]

@@rinzzzlr6149 Yeah, I agree. When the EA Anti Cheat was implemented in BF5 around April this year, some cheaters moved over to BF1 instead..! But now they'll get a harder time over there as well. At least something positive :)

[@LiteraryRetreat]

This video came at the right time as I was thinking of finally trying BFV for the first time on Game Pass. I also tried Rogue Company after watching your video and enjoyed it. I have a video request. Could you make a Modern Warfare 2 (2022) worth it it in 2024 video next?

[@40splishsplash]

Thanks for your comment and also your suggestion! I will consider that...Nice to also hear that you did try out Rogue Company! And the Xbox Game Pass is pretty good when it comes to playing a bunch of games, not having to pay much at all :)

[@LiteraryRetreat]

@@40splishsplash true it's a great service!

[@40splishsplash]

@@LiteraryRetreat Indeed!

[@myronchan8568]

the game is still extremely fun, the only criticism I can think of is the lack of war immersion that battlefield 1 gave.

[@40splishsplash]

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, BF1 can create even stronger immersive moments sometimes. I agree with you.

[@40splishsplash]

Pretty good description :)

[@redcape2184]

The game is fun but the only thing that bugs me is a lot of historical innacuracies. Like red dots and scopes on every rifle it's so weird seing that on a game that claims to be a WW2 game. If they didn't claim that it would be alright for alt-history game.

[@40splishsplash]

Yes, I can understand your reaction. Battlefield is more of an arcade shooter game more than anything else. I believe there might be more accuracy when it comes to weapons, uniforms and gear, in a free to play WW2 shooter like Enlisted :)

[@redcape2184]

@@40splishsplash I know I play Enlisted, Hell Let Loose and Squad 44 for authentic WW2 experience. BF5 is fun but still it's stupid that people have red dots. Like I enjoy fast action but let's shoot each other with iron sights not red dots like we are in a modern war if you get what I mean.

[@40splishsplash]

@@redcape2184 Yes, I know what you mean. I remember when Call of Duty Vanguard was released, even though Cod is an arcade shooter, there was a lot of discussions and opinions when it comes to red dots on WW2 weapons.

[@BT10e]

As a person who has never played any battlefield type game at all, who is just looking at the discounts on steam seeing that most if not all the BF games are on sale. What BF should I get (if not all) and in what order should the priority be. I'm looking mostly towards the BF single player campaigns since I have heard many good things about it so that should be the no.1 priority for selection.

[@40splishsplash]

I don't think it really matters, when it comes to which BF game you decide to play first. Either you wanna go in chronical order, refering to when the games were actually released. Or you might wanna start with let's say BF1, since it's WW1, and then play BF5, which is WW2. And maybe after that some "modern warfare", which is BF4...Well, it's a suggestion :D

[@jameslkiii]

Yeah gonna second 40splish a little, there's not a lot separating them in terms of quality for the newer ones. If you like WWI and the idea of doing a cavalry charge and grenading a tank sounds fun then BF1 may be for you. BF 2042 has tornados, wingsuits and slightly more futuristic vibes. TLDR it's all whatever vibe you're looking for. If you want WW2, then I have to recommend Hell Let Loose as a slightly more realistic shooter with Battlefield classes and feel.

[@joshwongwai3532]

[@zapred-wr9du]

I sacrificed insurgency sandstorm for this, I hope it's worth it

[@40splishsplash]

I hope so as well. They are quite different when making a comparison.

[@annlee6102]

It's still a good game but there are some negative points that points out: - The majority of the matches are extremely one-sided. - The extremely short TTK - The dominant players are mostly medics armed with high RPM guns such as the Tommy Gun or the ZK-383.

[@40splishsplash]

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, it is not a perfect game by all means, I have experienced quite some one sided matches myself, being on "both sides", so to say.

I’ve been playing bfv on and off for years and I’m about to start playing again because it’s always been a great game, in my opinion. I currently play PUBG and played old school RuneScape for 15 years but for some reason I always come back to battlefield 1 or 5 , the classic world war vibes are amazing. Great video!

[@40splishsplash]

I think the anti cheat doesn't work on the asia server, almost every game you can see a soldier sprint like hell with a MMG and headshots you 😂 or a tank that multiple times instantly repair without resupplying.

[@40splishsplash]

Thanks for your feedback! Sorry to hear about that. Yes, I've heard other players also experiencing similar things.

[@LandonMoore-y2h]

How many players are on BFV for PS5? I play BF1 and have trouble finding Conquest lobbies.

[@40splishsplash]

Good question, although it's hard to find an answer since there aren't really any stats available, when it comes to console or/and PS5 only. I know that there has been around 466k peak players a day during the last month, playing BF5. That includes all platforms. With that said, there has to be quite a few also playing on Playstation, but that's just a guess on my behalf.

Soooo, I should ignore the bad reviews saying the game s full of cheats from like, 2023? Cause I remember beta testing it, this and bf1, but after EAs IP bans etc… I said I won’t play them anymore till they fixed that. So, is bf 5 safe or, fun to play fun as in, 2-3 out of 10 games I’ll encounter cheaters? It’s on sale too atm,

[@40splishsplash]

That's what I talk about in the video. The good thing is that EA implemented the new EA Anti Cheat in April this year, that has made a difference. Are there still cheaters in the game? Yes, but it seems to be less cheaters now compared to when I played BF5 the last time in April. There's quite a lot of people playing the game nowadays, and you can get BF5 for a pretty good price as well, so I believe it is worth it.
