Conquest is still at the forefront of the multiplayer experience, and while familiar tactics reign supreme, Battlefield 5 has a much greater emphasis on squad-based play.

Whereas previous Battlefield games, especially prior to BF1, had a tendency to overwhelm newcomers and demand a nuanced touch, Battlefield 5 ensures players of all skill levels have a fighting chance while expert veterans are still able to put their heightened skills on full display.īattlefield 5 can be approached with a mindset as simple as point-and-shoot, but beneath lies a plethora of rewards, unlocks and challenges - with considerable stat tracking - for more engaged soldiers. While the classes and weapons are all familiar, combat itself feels streamlined and more accessible. The inherent nature of faster guns, bigger explosions, and vehicles with more firepower keeps the combat loop ticking at a faster, and very satisfying, pace.
The shift from The Great War to World War II brings an instant speed boost to multiplayer. However, if you have enlisted early enough to play Battlefield V before its true release date, you didn’t sign-up for the campaign alone. They are fun, personable missions, but not the deeply engaging War Stories of BF1. I didn’t connect with the characters to the same extent as Battlefield 1 - which I called “unequivocally the best single-player mode Battlefield has ever presented” and that hasn’t changed - nor was I confronted by the harsh reality of death to the same extent, because these are much lighter in tone.
With a focus on heartfelt story, gameplay serves as an introduction to the mechanics of Battlefield, rather than a complete AAA shooter campaign, and there’s no enticing reason to play them a second time. While I really like what DICE is doing with War Stories, even on hardcore difficulty these only take around 90 minute each to complete - on normal you could smash them on your lunch break. War Stories capture the essence of specific aspects of WWII and aren’t afraid to confront the reality of the wasteful loss of such young life, but aren’t historically faithful retellings more stories loosely based on reality, delivering a message that marries up with the history books.

The three stories - plus a 15 minute prologue and another chapter coming soon - aren’t as thought-provoking as DICE’s last instalment, but they follow the same mission statement. The single-player War Stories are split into three isolated narratives, based on true, but lesser known events, as to carefully avoid retreading ground games have stomped relentlessly so many times before. While it’s still riddled with microtransactions, Battlefield 5 has embarked upon a course to engage players for years to come, without segregating them through DLC, which should make Battlefield 5 the best longterm Battlefield yet.Īs with its predecessor, Battlefield 5 is deeply respectful of the harsh reality of war. Battlefield 5 builds upon the fantastic foundations laid by Battlefield 1 and forges a similar path, right down to strikingly similar artwork, and corrects its biggest misstep by eliminating the dreaded Premium Pass.
