As a huge fan of battlefield 5 how does a title fail in bad way. I feel this was on the development team and designers. This game could have been a masterpiece if done right and with the correct content provided. But we as fans see what happens when poor planning is put in place by lazy minded people.
It was a failure at launch no question about it. We're way past that now though. If we're to compare it at it's current state I dont know if I would call it a failure but relative to other Battlefield games it's very underwhelming. I still have 500 or so hours in it which is way more than any non-Battlefield Game.
For me its disappointing for many reasons the top of which is horrible maps. Most maps aren't really fps maps, they're more like sections of open world games. They're not designed to work in an fps game.
When there's almost no buildings or other assets in a map the only thing map designers can do is to play around with the topography. Cover based on topography is horrible because it's hard to tell if you're actually in cover.
Compare maps like Mercury, panzerstorm, Hamada, twisted steel, Narvik, Fjell to histrocial epicness like Grand Bazaar, Karkand, Caspain Border, Oman, Outbreak, Noshahr canals, Operation Locker, Amiens, Fort de Vaux, Achi Baba, Nansha Strike, Propaganda, Pearl Market, Silk Road, etc... and you're left very underwhelmed.
I pretty much just play 5 maps over and over in BFV.
I always had the impression, that most of the BFV maps were already designed with 128 players in mind.
Just the engine wasn't able to allow that at the time.
BFV maps were designed to be total garbage. Hey do you like flying planes? TOO BAD YOU CAN'T SEE THINGS ON THE GROUND! *Heat mirage intensifies*
I totally agree, shame on DICE to ruin BFV without Western and Eastern front. I am waiting for a real WW2 game without stupid outfits after BF 2042. I make sure it will be better than BFV this time.

What? They want ME to find stuff?
What're they trying to do - make a game out of this?"
@NativeKing2002as too many cheaters, too many ppl use controller cheat devices, unless there was better and strict anti cheat, the game will not survive. the issue on BFV is more serious just beacasue this franchise is popular and sale discount is always on, making more easy for cheatin player to play this game as the cost is so less, comparing with COD( it never have on sale, but its cheatin enviroment as same as BF).
in this era, cheaters have raised issue on all online game and all platform. however i do think there was many thing game developer and game publisher can do to fix it. like add votekick system, isolated those player from legit player in seperated server, give more power for the technical staff to ban cheater after watched a proof of video summited from gamers.... many players can detect ppl who use cheats and controller cheat device from no recoil, hit sound, dmg boost one bullet hit etc.
BadBoy Beaman is a youtuber who teach ppl how to detect cheatin player from legit player, so it is not hard to detect or distinguish them, but all game still use AI or computer to check it, spend some money and give more right to this technical stafff, it can tackle down cheatin issue more efficiently and quickly, and boost ppl engagment and play the game more frequently, it can also boost more interactive btw the communities , like voice, u wouldn't use voice if u see u are playing with cheatin players base in a server,
final word, BFV isn't a bad game, it still a good game, it have bad reputation only due to what i have said above
