Battlefield V Reception Has Fans Completely Polarized

The game’s Metacritic page is now littered with 0s and 10s and fervent back-and-forth criticism.

[Srhalo]

Ah, bandwagon review bombing at it's finest, a belligerent mob who haven't even played it.

[WANNAGETHIGH]

As they should. Game is 6/10 at best. Can’t compare it to the amount of content and game modes CoD Bo4 offers you. “Que incoming disagrees because I said Cod is better” 🙄

[Akarogg]

Here you are

[jordan22290ps]

COD has one more game mode. COD has 3, BFV has 2. If you're referring to regular multiplayer, zombies, and battle royal. Cod has those and BFV has regular multiplayer and single player. 3 to 2. I would say you could compare them. Especially considering the regular multiplayer of BFV is a lot deeper than standard TDM(which is by far the biggest playlist on COD). All that said though, I would tell people who aren't hardcore fans of the series to wait a couple months, let the game work out the kinks, a couple new features will be there and Firestorm will be right around the corner. PS not hating on COD bc I do enjoy it and was defending BO4 when it came out too

[FullmetalRoyale]

You’re a towel.

[TKCMuzzer]

Well no, but your ignoring the lack of single player, the amount of used maps from past games, the stupid micro transactions *and shoving at you), the farcical lag, constant bizarre hit detection, (compared to BFV) ugly graphics , lack of any dynamic effects in blackout producing very similar outcomes (winners usually are in possession of a sniper rifle), poorly balanced weapons (no one uses LMG's), poor tic rate which offers massive inconsistency in getting kills, dumbing down of hard core by allowing self heal and body armour, zero team play from Stuttery Mcstutt flickering across the screen and most importantly, the over reliance on over powered aim assist, oh and to sum it all up, they patched in 'aim assist for when hip firing the SDM' , thats right, for hip firing an SDM, talk about holding players hands.
Apart from that, COD is redefining itself.

[Skankinruby]

Lol you get mouthy and immediately get on pre defense of obvious responses. Black Ops 4 is half a game, its trash. So by default it is 5/10 'at best'.

[BenRC01]

For the first time ever COD is the better game. Dice/EA should be ashamed.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

Comparing one crap game to another. We've got a real genius here....

[TKCMuzzer]

This happens with pretty much every game on metacritic.

[starchild]

That's what the online gaming "community" has devolved into: a bunch of children and man-children taking up exaggerated and extremist positions and pointlessly arguing incessantly about them.

[3-4-5]

I'm loving BFV so far.

I really liked Battlefield 1, and didn't like BFV beta at all, but I like the final product.

My main complaint would be lack of guns and lack of maps.

Some of the maps are awesome, some aren't the greatest, but at least all DLC maps will be free.....They should have launched with 10 though.

I'd give the game a 92/100.

It's a solid game, and offers a lot of replay value.

[Profchaos]

I saw lots of reviews with enough knowledge about the game to me it appears they played it and disliked it for a variety of reasons and bugs.

[T2X]

The game is actually very good. As with all of the others in the series, a few patches later and it will be the best shooter out there. Again. People just love to cry about everything.

[HaveSumNuts]

"As with all others in the series" So you think Battlefield Hardline was actually good?

[TiredandRetired]

It wasn't top notch, probably weakest in the series, but I still had some fun with it. It wasn't a BAD game.

I actually enjoyed the single player campaign bc of the arrest mechanic. Having to decide whether to pull the trigger or deescalate things. I loved the old SWAT games on PC and it felt a bit like that.

[isa_scout]

Hardline always gets so much hate, but I loved it. Maybe it was because I was one of the first players to unlock the OP .300 knockout sniper rifle. Dunno. I will say I enjoyed its modes far more than BF1 with war pigeons being the exception. I'm an ace BF chopper pilot so every BF that doesn't have choppers automatically ranks lower for me personally.

[T2X]

Actually, almost forgot about that one. It wasn't the greatest, but I like military shooters not cops and robbers. But I would say BF5 is better than Hardline personally.

[annoyedgamer]

This sounds like the 5tar reviews i read for Mass Effect Andromeda.

[Smokingunz]

I agree with u on ththe patches part. I'v played TDM and the running/movement feels wonky. It feels like the framerates is clipping like something is holding u back from running. The weapons u start with especially the first recon sniper rifles sucks, its many times I'll shoot somebody with it and the kill either doesnt register or hit its targets. It's also a sniper's game, I cant take one step without getting sniped from somebody, 3ven when I spawn. I also didnt like how Dice/Ea screwed with the battlefield1 servers so u can't play online and. battlefield 4 online they screwed with the hit detection, so now I cant even kill anybody even if I empty a whole clip on them. They did all this just so we can run and buy BF5.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Well who didn't see this coming...?

[Chaos_Order]

This happens with almost every game that gets released. Why is this news?

[ChrisW]

It's news because Bethesda normally releases a really good game with bugs... Whereas EA and Ubisoft release games that have become increasingly stupid.

[quenomamen]

BFV is 10X better than BF1 in every aspect lotta people gonna sleep on this cuz of the beta and I was gonna as well but it is very good.

[isa_scout]

I do agree, but I also hope EA and Dice listen to the fans and give us what we really want. Bad Company 3.

[CurbStompin]

I’ll be back when they do. This year should have been modern combat.. They made 2 old school war games, and tbh I can’t tell the difference between 1 and V

[Specter229]

I hope not. Theyll never be able to recapture what made Bad Company good.

[ratedviper]

Been waiting for BC3 over a decade i think its time they bring us the sequel.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

As long as they keep the politically correct crap out of it, then I would love BC3.

[Dreamcatcher45]

Is it better than the Beta? Because I didn't like it that much.

[Immorals]

Massively different. I hated the beta, but love the full release

[BenRoxio]

Why didn't you like it? Was it because of bugs and matchmaking issues?

[bellome]

It is basically the same game with some gameplay tweaks. Fans will obviously love it, others may be bored to play a bf1 “clone”.

[xRacer74x]

Not a fan of those tiny minded haters out there who need to give a game a bad score just because they do not like EA or a comment a guy from Dice makes.

[spaceb0y]

The mob is out, you're just not allowed to say good things about this game

[xRacer74x]

I cant speak for the console version but the PC version is buggy. But I expect nothing less from an online game anymore these days from anyone.

[boing1]

Those who are playing it are having a blast. Make your own opinion, people. Play it . Do not quote 'journalists'.

[FloydianAndroid]

The campaign isn’t good (to me)....I’m not saying it’s a bad game, but it’s a 5 of 10 at best (to me)

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

Get a friggin life lol, how sad is that.

[hercules_]

Looks like the franchise is losing it's sheen.

[Aither]

It was a failed game from the start. Not only did the developers force politics into it, but its beta was a catastrophe. Upon its release it was littered with bugs and its upgrade system is a complete mess. If people like the game then fine, but don't undermine those who are finding valid criticism with it as "haters" or whatnot.

[Skankinruby]

'Force politics into it' lol just stop, game is brand new and that insult is already beyond exhausted

[Aither]

Sorry if the truth hurts you so much.

[jeromeface]

yea, because there were females on the front lines of ww2... totally.

[Skankinruby]

'

[AnubisG]

After playing it myself, I would not give this game a 6/10. It is unfinished and buggy mess. The AI in SP is beyond redenption. SP campaign was an aftertought. Content is very minor in this game. Should have been delayed 6 months at least.

[FPS_D3TH]

Lmao out of the other 2 or 3 releases that came at the same time as this game, this was the only game to have properly delivered and brought a solid experience. Just a bunch of incels that never wanted this game to succeed cuz they’re mad about woman in their games and still think battlefield was ever historically accurate at any point in its existence.

[LoveSpuds]

Having played around 10 hours my feelings are that it is a really decent online shooter, I have really enjoyed it so far but I am still too distracted by the Red Dead 2 campaign to get fully stuck into BF5.

[TheColbertinator]

Personally I enjoy the game and the medic class feels right in every level.

[Doomeduk]

In a previous article here I commented how I was hating the game after playing all the other battlefields but after a few more days of play its started to grow on me but two things still bug me and that's the ttk (time to kill) as its feels too much like call of duties quick deaths that just frustrate me personally but I hear they are maybe doing something about it
And the second is that I'm more a death match player where I like quick 10-15 minute matches and the maps just don't suit DM imo, big open maps with random spawning teamed with the ttk I usually find I'm being sniped the second I spawn
The graphics I said are sub par(standard ps4) compared to BF1 but that's down to the higher player count
And with all that I find it's growing on me so with time and updates it should get alot better
Atb

[quenomamen]

All haters who never even played the beta or will ever play the final game. Go play Wack Ops 4 and shut up.

[zachyBROosevelt]

Battlefield v is fun game

[zodiac909]

Moral of the story here is, SCREW EA and EVERYTHING they stand for....which really isn't much to begin with. R.i.P Dead Space, Mass Effect, NFS, ect

[AK91]

Not really it’s more gamers vs journalists/corporate shills, BFV is another microtransaction heavy EA game and gamers aren’t afraid to call it as it is but the shills are claiming sexism and other silly things despite it being obvious they are using poorly disguised smoke screens.

[Ryutamashiisan]

There is alot of butthurt about the mere option to play a female.. it's a video game not a historical account.

Thatsaid the SP AI is retarded as s hell. Multiplayer is fun
