This is the biggest surprise I have gotten comming to these forums.Out side of crashes my only gripe with BFV at launch was the ammo/health crates not showing on the maps when they got dropped.

@Flavin913 Different 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).

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

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. 😃

BF5 was not a very good game. Especially not a the beginning. But it had at least the essential core features (the ones they call 'legacy' now). So yes, BF5 had a rough start, but it was still Battlefield and except of the TTK debacle the core features were always where they supposed to be.It also has some problem with map design. Just one example: Fjell 652. A very good infantry map -- completely ruined by the addition of planes. Without planes, this is really fun and I think that most players (all except of the pilots) will agree that the person that made the decision to add 5? planes PER SIDE! to this infantry map should -- if not fired right away -- be at least NOT allowed to EVER be involved with those kind of tasks ever again.But compared to BF2042, BF5 it is so much better that we now play BF5 again while waiting for the current installment to get the required fixes to make it enjoyable. Arras, Marita, Mercury (sometimes also ruined by planes, but not as much as Fjell), Devastation, Solomon Islands, ... ALL much more beautiful maps and all with better flow and in general better map design.AND (for us maybe even the most important part): we can play together on the same server (takes some minutes to join, but then we can stay until the first cheater joins and ruins our fun). In BF2042 we have to split in 2 (or even 3, if we are more than 8 people) groups. This needs to be addressed with highest prio if you ask me (which you don't). But this is something for another thread.

BFV has a few cardinal sins.1) It is an incomplete abandoned game2) It is full of cheaters3) It does not support permanent community servers (which is also a problem in 2042)

After BF1( great game btw), i was realy exited about the news BFV was comming. Seeing that the game had Rotterdam/Devastation(birth town) maps included, i became very exited.
They realy did a outstanding job on making the maps as realistic a possible. First i enjoyd the campaign en then went ingame to have a go.
The multiplayer felt weird as there were many bugs and other things i couldn't put my fingers on. kept having a go just for the nostalgic sake of it...lol.
After a while the feeling fade away and i decided to leave the game for the time being, discovered other games and moved on.
Now i have installed it again and must say that it plays way better then it did before.
I like it, but it's more nostalgic.

I love BFV, basically EA abandoned the project, but it had the potential to be the best ww2 game I have ever played (aside from the historically innacuraces and some major bugs on big maps that could had been easily fixed)
