Battlefield V Review and Mistakes

Hello. I play battlefield instead of games like call of duty and any other because battlefield has much more capabilities. Giant matches with 64 players and many features and gadgets make battlefield a much better game. With battlefield v, I think battlefield made a couple main mistakes. This is a game franchise with capabilities that we’ve seen are much bigger than any other game, it was extremely sad to see these capabilities wasted on making the game unrealistic. I will feature each mistake below one by one:

Adding women to a World War Two setting - It isnt sexist to disinclude women in a World War Two game. Many people like me play battlefield because it is realistic, so to see them rewriting history this way was disappointing. If you were a World War Two veteran and fought for your country, you would at least expect the tales of your experience to be told with at least basic accurate details. You don’t want random things to be added into your story. Adding women to the Soviet army would have been ok, because it’s historically accurate. Otherwise, not really.

Uniforms - I don’t know why all of a sudden in 2018, battlefield came up with their own uniforms for the German and British armies. If they are going to have unrealistic uniforms then at least have realistic ones too. But there weren’t even realistic ones. In my opinion the unrealistic uniforms never should have existed and only realistic ones should have been implemented, but not only did they have unrealistic ones, they took out the realistic ones. Disappointing.

Flags - I understand why people have come to hate the swastika, it’s tragic what happened to so many under this flag. But using the authentic German flag to make a game more realistic doesn’t make you a Nazi. I think the authentic flag should have been used because if you choose a World War Two game, you get World War Two. No matter what, it’s a part of history we shouldn’t forget. It’s not a matter of opinion. Real people lived in that era, the least we can do is make the game according to facts, not our own opinions. 

Maps - I actually think battlefield did a great job with the maps. They were beautiful (except some that I didn’t like just because of personal preference but ignore that). But it’s a World War Two game and we didn’t see a single Stalingrad, Normandy, Berlin, etc. 

Updates and game support - Battlefield had so much going for it. We should’ve had factions like Italian, Russian, French, etc. Battlefield had so much more it could’ve done and with four factions and a couple maps after two years, I’m disappointed. We paid money and we weren’t shown that it was very worth it at all. A game with a capacity like battlefield could do so much more, but battlefield five dissapointed me here. 

Realisticism - Inaccurate uniforms, etc. Come on. It’s completely okay to make a game more realistic, even if it means making the tanks slower and turrets rotate slower, this stuff doesn’t slow down the game, it just makes it all the more enjoyable. 

Thats pretty much it. I love battlefield so much, I’m just sad to see this happening. I am probably not going to buy a new battlefield game for a while, I only enjoy games set in the past like the 20th century. I don’t like modern and futuristic games. I hope battlefield makes a game set in the 20th century again soon. Many if not most of the battlefield community play more for the amazing experience than we do just for skill. That’s what distinguishes us from other games. I personally think that the more realistic and historically accurate, the better the game. I hope battlefield pull through with this, I know they take the community seriously.
