My honest feedback for BF5 after 70 hours playing it.

I play Battlefield games since Battlefield 2 and I love Battlefield games the most of all!

I played even Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam. :D

Firstly I wanna say that I DONT UDNERSTAND how anyone can make such a MASTERPIECE game, but can get wrong absolute basic of FPS shooter games at the same time and this is exactly how I feel from Battlefield 5! Like if someone is trying to mix WW2 shooter game with RPG or something literally...

Someone might say it is fair, yes it is, a little bit too much for my taste, especially when it comes to WW game.

LONG STORY SHORT:

BF5 has best graphics, sounds and effects, but the worst balance of weapon and worst weapon and aim mechanics I have ever seen in Battlefield series.

Soldiers feel like Rambo. Which brings me to 200% dmg HC mode, but problem with that is game becomes unbearable sniperfield,

especially if everyone starts using recon self-loading rifles.

Those dumb BF4 Locker moments were the best. You could get those in Fort Knox or some similar map in BF1 too.

Those are just not here that much anymore. Not even when I play Metro.

BF4 HC was the best ballance for me, BF5 HC is a sniper-field while BF5 Vanilla is longer TTK than even Overwatch, its almost like team-based kills, almost something like Apex Legends.

You can get a solo kill, but its probly even harder than in Apex legends sometimes, gap between guns is too huge here, dmg drop for some weapons is over the roof. You just have certain range for your kit and thats it, you wont get a single kill above or beyond that line even if its just a few meters from it, you will always get owned by more appropriate kit which is absolute non sense if you ask me especially when you play with semi auto rifle.

I love BF5, its still playable (I mean HC is), but Im switching back to BF4 HC Locker anyway which is just dumb which I love.

POSITIVE THINGS ON BF5:

I absolutelly love Battlefield 5 and I think this is the best Battlefied game that has ever been released, but it has a lot of bad things into it, we will get into them in second part of my feedback little bit more.

BF5 looks best, sounds best so overal gameplay is better than previous BF games, if you can stand this balance.

Atmosphere in this game is just on another level. Cant really enjoy BF4 or BF1 after playing BF5.

Absolutelly love this spotting system when you cant just spam spot button and your enemies get revealed,

looking for movement in bushes works pretty well.

Graphics is absolutelly amazing, sound effects are absolute fire.

I like those less opened maps like Array or Rotterdam and especially when there are no planes, I used to fly planes in Battlefield games, but I found out that infantry experience is trully the best when I play Breakthrough.

Infantry gameplay has really nice moments into it and I can fell like in actual war.

Im pretty sure those BF (BF2,BF4,BF1,BF5) moments are the best moments Ive ever had in any video game.

My most favorite map is probably defence on Arras and most favorite gamemode is breakthrough.

Dont really like Conquest since it feels like playing Call of Duty and not BF.

I want tose frontline vs frontline war moments when I play BF, not a tactical behind me flank commando every 10 seconds.

Thanks for making this great game.

I know this game had to cost a lot of effort and money,

I can just see that in details and everything.

Love you EA games, youre the best.

You dont deserve bad name some people giving you,

your team is making best video games since forever.

NEGATIVE THINGS ON BF5:

Guns feel overballanced which makes them not fun and paradoxically unballanced.

Grenades or rockets are useless.

Sniper is overpowered, i mean sniping is too easy and only kit which can kill you is another sniper.

There is no flinch for snipers when they are under fire, which makes them absolute Rambo, which is kinda typical for BF5.

Semi automatic rifles are too weak at close range as well as for long range.

Damage fall off for range doesnt suit them,

there is one thing I cant stand in this game and its hitting someone 4 times with even one or two headshots init and he survivng that like a boss. This just ruins the whole gaming experience for me and totally ruins war atmosphere as well.

You dont wanna special gun for every range,

people should be able to just tap assault rilfe and get semi-auto rifle with a tinny bit less accuraccy or dmg into it.

You dont wanna snipers to make it a sniper field.

You dont wanna SMG to win every time at close against semi auto rifle just because he has short range kit.

You dont want FPS game to be like RPG or MOBA game.

You dont wanna need one magazine to knock one player.

Because if you want this for Battlefield then your game will never feel good.

Battledield needs more realism into it because it should feel like a war or some kind of real life military conflict.

Aim mechanic in BF5 feels very weird, its hard to aim for some reason, much harder than in BF4.

Im not sure what caused this, but this wasnt in BF1.

You might wanna make soldiers not being able to walk wnen they get shot in legs few times maybe,

not able to aim well when they get their arms broken before medic helps them, not being able to aim with 6x when theyre suppressed of course is a basic thing that should be here.

You might wanna make guns to get jammed sometimes to give more rng fun moments into it.

You might want it dumb just like war is if you know what I mean. Then you could possibly make great WW game in every aspect, not just graphics, effects and atmosphere.

I play BF games all my life and I know what I want from Battlefield,

I want actual Battlefield a dumb massaccre with nothing fair and ballanced into it.

I wanna feel like Im in actual war.

I want point blank into smoke and get some kills, not just "enemy hit +31".

I want to spam chokes with grenades and get random undeserved kills.

When I play Battlefield, I want just a dumb massacre I can chill in for a bit and just have fun.

I dont wanna be competitive and fair about this, I want just fun.

I dont wanna hit someone with gun into head and not to kill him.

One shot with anything into face should kill, two shots into helmet maybe.

Who even needs ballance in war game like this ? I dont, it makes them boring.

Also when you overballnce things like this it becomes unballanced at the end and game feels worse than unballanced at all if you know what I mean.

Iron sight has 1.5 zoom into it which makes it really bad.

Reflex should have that instead.

I wanna use iron sight to make my gaming experience better,

I know reflex sights were already invented at that time,

but I doubt soldiers got any.

Battlefield 5 needed more realism into it,

especially if its a WW2 game,

you wanna players to feel like in a war,

not like in a game!

Even HC Battlefield 4 feels like some kind of real life conflict when it comes to shooting.

Thats what makes good WW2 games to be good and there is none if you wonder.

BF5 has everything it needs before I start shooting,

at that time my WW2 atmosphere is gone when I have to shoot someone 3 times into head and stuff.

I play mostly 200% dmg which can fix this a bit,

but there is not many breakthrough 200% servers and also bolts and self-loading refles become too strong when compared to other weapons.

Grenades are useless, those are basically team-work based.

I absolutelly wanna those experiences when I chuck rifle grenade in a choke area and get like 4 kills with it like nothing,

which is fun. This is just gone and it was fun.

So yeah I think I know what makes people to not like BF5,

its absolutelly balance of this game.

I feel like you were too extreme with it,

trying to make it less annyoing maybe,

but youve achieved the exact opposite with taking a lot of great moments away and making game mostly a sniper field with prototype genetically modified super-soldiers everywhere.

CONCLUSION FOR BF5:

IF YOU WANNA WORLD WAR GAME YOU MIGHT WANT IT AS REAL AS POSSIBLE,

WAR IS NO GAME! THERE IS NOTHING FAIR AND BALLANCED INTO IT!

If the game like this would exist, it would be the best video game ever made

and those who wanna cry about it on Reddit could go play Call of Duty I guess because theyre too weak for this.

This is still the best Battlefield game which had ever been released, because of its graphic and sound

but ballance is just way too arcade to actually call it a best BF game.

Its still playable, but it has too far from being real for me.

Best BF game ? When it comes to balance its absolutelly BF4 with 60HP instead of 100 (HC mode).

So yeah I think I would call still BF4 the king of Battlefield franchise even when I love WW2 games much more than modern warfare.

BF5 feels just off, overbalanced, almost like some kind of RPG strategy game sometimes.

Didnt get 2042 yet, but if it has HC mode or if it is like BF4 HC, then it may be really good.

  • Sadly, they made this game for campers, and casual players. It's essentially COD now. Even the bullet damage is bad. You literally have to put a whole clip in someone to drop them, especially if they have really high ping, or bad internet.

    Exactly, I just cant keep playing thisgame and not leave when I get to this whole mag no kill situations.
    Im just switching between HC and Vanilla all the time when I get annoyed enough from one of them.

    Its still best Battlefield and I will miss it a lot, but I just cant do this balance anymore.

    I will come back from time to time to that one 200%dmg metro only server tho.

    And I will play BF4 HC Locker more than BF5 for sure.

    I just shot the whole semi auto rifle mag into someone standing behind thin wooden wall with one or two headshots = ENEMY HIT 89.Or clear tripple headshot with same result if its at long range. I just cant play this.
    Those semi auto rifles are absolutelly useless.

    Every kit is useless if it has just one certain range you can fight in with 0 chance anywhere else.

    You might wanna try HC metro only, its good when its Breakthrough, but kinda COD vibes when its Conquest. No actual war vibes, just sweaty flanking SMG chads super worried about their KD. :D
    Counquest mode really dont belong in WW2 game by my opinion.

    I think I finally understand whats wrong with BF5 and why people keep playing BF4.

    BF4 HC Locker is exactly the massacre BF game should be. Its just dumb good exactly how I love it. Its not about modern warfare, WW vibes are even better, its all about balance.

    Hope they will get this right in next Battlefield. (I didnt play 2042 yet so I cant tell).
