Reviewing Battlefield 5 now it's over... Was it EVER a good game?

Today, we're reviewing Battlefield 5 now it's over and answering the question, was it ever a good game? Battlefield 5 is cancelled and this is the end of Battlefield 5, and with no more content updates I thought it would be a good idea to pick out some of the good parts of the game, some of the features that should be taken forward to Battlefield 6, hopefully to improve Battlefield 6 gameplay. Battlefield 5 review. Leave a like if you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

#Battlefield5 #Battlefield #BF5
This channel is all about FPS gameplay, sniping, tips & tricks and guides! At the moment I'm really enjoying playing Call of Duty Warzone whilst we wait for Battlefield 6 gameplay, details and information. I mainly do Battlefield 5 gameplay and Battlefield sniping on all the different games: Battlefield 5, Battlefield 1, Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 3. I often play solos, duos and squads. I have 1000 hours experience in every Battlefield and I hope to play more FPS games in 2020. I hope you enjoy my sniper gameplay and Warzone gameplay as much as I do making it.

Guadalcanal on battlefield 1942 on the pc from years ago had submarines and destroyers with depth charges. Shame they have never revisited this in either Battlefield 1943 or the recent Battlefield 5. It will be nice to revisit the modern era again if that's where battlefield 6 will be set, as have missed the fun had on Battlefield 3/4.

I'm going to copy-paste one of myanswers from below, sorry It may very well be impossible to make a successful WW2 triple A shooter today. People don't want a game about WW2, they want a game about the image they have of WW2. Omaha beach and stuff. But we've been there before a thousand times already, in games, in movies, on the internet ; developers as artists have to innovate, deliver different experiences. This is important to make the game appealing, intriguing as BF1 was. WW2 has been handled a thousand different ways by a thousand video games, which have set expectations. You either deliver a bland dumbed down game that people will play once and then forget, labelling it "generic WW2 game n°3654653", or you try to find a niche gameplay (Red Orchestra, World of Warships, Bomber crew, Radio General, Post Scriptum...) which a triple A game can't afford, as niche gameplays only draws niche audience. BFV tried to go both ways at the same time, and the final result could please noone. I liked the idea of going to battlefields less known to the typical american audience (Netherlands, Norway etc.), but then why ruin this attempt at authenticity with, well, you know what I'm talking about, all the things it this game that made it not feel like WW2 ? Where BFV could have succeeded was in showing how some unsung battles were just as epic, interesting and exciting to relive as Omaha or Stalingrad ; yet it failed. BF1 by contrast had succeeded in conveying how this was the first Modern war, with an unbelievable clash in tradition and modernity resulting in almost steampunk technology.

I see Battlefield V as a game of poor planning, implementation and experimentation. Initially the game was rushed and little thought was given to the future. Then when the live service started, there was a huge shortfall in content Battlefield fans actually wanted. At this point, I feel DICE started to use BFV as an experimentation point, implementing ideas/features to see what dedicated fans liked/disliked/would accept/would reject... creating an even more confusing mess of ideas. The whole project lacked direction and clarity. It's what happens when there's no time to make something and there's no one strong enough in charge to make important decisions about what should and shouldn't be done.

The soldiers aren’t even wearing the right outfits, the colors are ALWAYS shiny, the base maps have the same colors and environments, and the whole thing feels off. TL;DR Play Battlefield 1

Gamers like you are the problem. You are ready to share your opinion even before watching the video. In other words, you make judgment without having all the facts. Did you do the same with BFV? Did you call it a bad game even before playing it? Because that’s what most people do. They speak before they think. In any case, no Battlefield game has been 100% realistic. BF1 is no exception.

I stopped playing BF5 when one day I was online and I had to stop and honestly think about what time era in history I was in, and what war was being replicated, it didn’t feel like WW2 at all. I mean I don’t think it even had the M1 Garand at launch? Did it? It was so bright and saturated of color on some maps that it felt more like a cartoon shooter than a WW2 game

Obviously im heartbroken it didnt do what we all wanted (Okinawa, D-Day, Eastern Front, Proper Outfits in the beginning) but I will continue to keep playing. One reason being is that I adore the Pacific maps, its like 1943 but with great graphics. Another reason is that I still have alot of fun with the game, even if its flawed af. But I hope DICE and EA learned alot from this and that theyll make Battlefield 6 a masterpiece.

They should of slow down the gameplay drastically and have great lines of defence and attack. Not a gun fest with enemy spawning everywhere around you and constantly get shot in the back.

[@tobiasbraun8563]

I really hope the fortification system gets improved that you can choose what you want to build on any position. The attrition system is great and needs to be improved. The idea of 64v64 is great and I want this. The idea to drag wounded players on a save position to revive needs to be an option. The new revive system that squad mates can revive needs to be in the next BF. The Arch Types are a cool idea and needs to get improved (skins that are fixed to arch types are important for my following idea) and much more than only two per class something like 3-4 or even more if possible would be insane. My idea for some Arch Types are that from BF5 with some tweaks/improvements and as 3rd i think the following would be interesting. Assault: A stealth class that has a low amount of armor/gadgets in his skin so he can run quiter and Less gadget ammo capacity. Medic: Very fast at reviving and running. The bandages fill the HP faster. Less ammo capacity. More smoke grenades. So his main job is to support the attackers and revive them. Support: Slow but with 20 hp more (if the balance works). The weapons are something like the MMG's with high magazine/belt capacity, high fire rate but hard hitting recoil. The ammo pouches give one more magazine that it normally has. Sniper: Anti-Material Snipers that hit very hard (nearly every range body shot = one shot if it works) but have a bad aiming stability and you get 3D spotted. Can dmg vehicle modules critical easy with a dmg between 8-15. He also gets sniper carbines to play more agressive. These are like the medic carbines of BF5. He gets a special spotting gadget. I dont know if he gets a special gadget on the second slot. If you read this please give me your opinion to that Idea :)

But, seriously; the way they handled feedback throughout this “bug fixing service”, refusing to even listen to their own “game changers” claiming they know better, or excuse the lack of team balancing with “the tech just isn’t there” made me loose interest and faith in every project coming forward. The deluxe edition mirrors how this game went down in the books as a meme at every press event. Huge YTs tried to make BF a big compelling competitive e-sport game only to be shown the middle finger.
