@Flavin913Different strokes for different folks I guess. I enjoyed BFV for the most part but did have quite a few issues with it originally, such as the poor visibility and the endless animations etc. Mostly though I just enjoy BF1 and BF4 more and will play those much more frequently than BFV (I also only fly in V too).

I must admit I enjoyed all three, BFV / BF1 and BF4. 

Personally I loved the 4 Pacific maps in BFV they were definitely the highlight for me.

One of the negatives for me in BFV was the introduction of the elites some like Wilhelm were a bit cheesy, he looked like he had just walked off the stage in Phantom of the Opera. 🙂

The whole trench warfare setting in BF1 was really well done and they captured that era really well imho.

Really enjoyed BF4 / 3 and all the earlier ones too.

I wish I had a pound for every hour I have spent on the BF franchise, I would be a very rich man indeed.  😃

@RayD_O1 Same here. I think a lot of us would love to have a pound for every hour! 

The elites were a bit of an issue too as some of them, like Wilhelm and Hannah, were very cartoony. Not forgetting Captain Bird's-eye either of course. I think they were going in the right direction with the Pacific and it's a bit of a shame that we didn't get an Eastern Front, that would have been good in theory too. 

The trench warfare and the whole atmosphere of BF1 is, I think why I enjoy it so much and I'd agree that Dice did a really good job of capturing that.

---

Ah good old Captain Birds -eye, there was definitely something fishy about that guy. !!

Yeah I agree with you an Eastern Front could have been epic. 

Definitely the BF1 atmosphere was the closest any of the BF's have come to creating that sense of actually being there. 

Maps like River Somme (from Apocalypse DLC) made me realise what it must have been like for the soldiers stuck in those claustrophobic trenches in all weathers.

---

Ha! That was a good one.

BF1 did give us a good look at what it must have been like (probably worse in reality of course), especially River Somme and Passchendaele with all the trenches, charging mchine guns and gas. It was also nice that there was a big focus on history with the codex entries and so on - they actually made me look up what my family did during the war and it was fascinating (and very sad for one of them).

---

Ah yes Passchendaele that was another one which I enjoyed playing.

As you say the focus on history was well represented throughout.

BF1 will always stand out as being that bit different and will always be a memorable playing experience. 

Didn't like the 'hardcore lite' approach and it was severely lacking in the FPM department, it just seemed to be a constant sweat fest. 

And there was really no point in playing any other class than Action Man.

Plus, I never got a prosthetic arm for Helga, she would have suited that.

Oh, Helga....... sigh

It's not that I didn't like V, I just loved other titles a whole lot more. Their Pacific update added some great content but certain bugs and playstyles kept me from having maximum fun

BF4 i loved the gadget variation and use

BF1 loved the setting, gadget use dropped a bit understandably, people started the zerg mentality on some maps

BFV really felt like it came up short on maps and gadgets, the increase in movement speed introduced a lot of inconsistency for me at 55 ping.

and 2042...well its everything negative i could say about each title rolled into one while eliminating everything positive i could say about each title....huh...never thought about that till now.

Yes the other complaint was that it was meant to be a ww2 game and coming from bf1 which was pretty good at trying to be a ww1 game, bf5 decided to do a woke take on ww2 and this set the tone for the game. If I remember the one armed woman character in the trailer as being a catalyst for this type of thinking.

The bionic arm woman trailer with the fortnite main characters killed BFV pre-orders along with Dice PR coming out with woke comments.

Then when the game came out, the shift towards a more hardcore style with less ammo, non regen health and no 3D spot with soldiers blending into the backgrounds killed the playercount.

It never recovered from that.

It`s not like I fell in love with BFV. But having into consideration the rough launch of 2042, I am more willing to admit that BFV has bigger potential in 2022, and I`m not even joking.

I really love the idea that a player's health cannot be fully restored before prior use of a personal med-pack, and this one item has to be replenished by the ammo bag or the flag. This one change for me is simply amazing and more tactical. What killed the game is pointless 8 damage at 25m proximity on some of the weapons that happen to be not a pistol or even SMG. BFV by no means is a hardcore game but requires hell a lot of ESL league players' skills to perfect it. The game received not enough content at launch also. I was not even criticizing the game back then, but I have finally enough seeing the next iteration that has both 2 and 4 in the title and happens to be "a modern" battlefield.

The bionic arm lady, steampunk atmosphere in supposedly WWII game with real factions simply killed the launch. Most of the people had Private`s Ryan moments in their mind, not some strange-looking lady with blue makeup saying "eLLou Ould FriEnd".

Everyone's Battlefield statement and promo - learn for once that 5-year-olds and 90-year-olds cannot be a prime target of the game labeled as WWII. Companies should always prioritize their target audience. By doing so, the company should release a separate game for younger audiences like BF: Heroes 2. Some titles like BF3/BC2/2/4/2142 for the 18+. The middle ground is going to kill the series as we know it completely and only anger the hardly earned community.

What kills the atmosphere of tension between factions in a game is the absolute dominance of political correctness, usually full of woke and progressive slogans usually praising "the good guys". I have no idea how to tackle this one problem efficiently without receiving "a heretic" or a "bigot" label on one side of the barricade. Real war stories with personal dramas and traumas, inability to choose in given circumstances might be one of the clues. The war is not only Zeroes and Ones, good or bad faction. What the majority of reasonable people would expect is a depiction of true struggle on both sides and a depiction of decisions that could potentially either save or kill in given circumstances. War is full of miscalculations and checking the other sides' bluffs also. It`s hard to depict a conflict in a mature way without trashing the other adversary forces at the same time.

I kind of like BFV but I would rather play modern 4 or polished and complete BF1. If Battlefield V launched 9-12 months later it would be one of the best Battlefields (not having in mind a marketing campaign).

I feel like too many games are rushed out of the door and destroy the franchise.

I wish I knew the comparison of content at release for BFV vs the other titles.

I felt like BFV had pretty good maps at launch, and a good amount of modes for each.

Super high standards for games these days...

That original trailer did upset slot of people I do remember that, its sad that people couldn't accept that.

Or the "mature" BF audience couldn't handle a little more mature/hard-core features.

And I never had big problem with people blending in but I have a good computer and am an above average player.
