![]() Battles take place over three in-game days where teams must either attack or defend key points on the map. ![]() The main attraction though is Grand Operations, which is a more in-depth version of Battlefield 1’s Operations mode. The game modes remain mostly untouched from Battlefield 1 with Conquest and the smaller scale infantry-based Team Deathmatch, Domination and Frontlines, which is like a tug-of-war mode that teams fight over control of flags to eventually take out their base. It’s here where the smallest of tweaks make the biggest difference. What Battlefield V really excels at is its famous multiplayer, which stays well within the borders of the famous Battlefield blueprint. It’s a heartwarming story with some really good set pieces within it. This story is the all-out war story that takes away the stealth mechanic in favour of tense battles. The third and final War Story hands you the reigns of a French soldier who, whilst fighting alongside your brother, heads off to attempt a retake of Southern France. There’s also a special moment halfway through that tasks you to travel to a dead drop point whilst battling impending hypothermia. It’s breathtaking and very reminiscent of a well-known Call of Duty moment, but I won’t spoil things. This story is special thanks to main character Solveig’s option of using her skis to navigate the snowy landscape. The strongest of the three War Stories is “Nordlys”, which takes you to the snowy peaks of Norway as you infiltrate a Nazi stronghold to rescue a fellow soldier. The similarities don’t stop there either as each of the three War Stories opens up, allowing you to take on your objective however you please. The mission itself, however, is a joy to play as you have the choice to sneak in utilising Battlefield V’s impressive Far Cry-like stealth system. ![]() This War Story is the weakest because of its over-the-top use of cockney slang and awful dialogue. The first and weakest of the three War Stories is “Under No Flag”, which puts you in control of Bill Bridger, a British soldier pulled from a London jail and sent overseas to cripple a Luftwaffe Airbase. They aren’t lengthy affairs though, they’re rather short stories that tells the stories of 3 soldiers who bravely overcame all odds and invite us into the other happenings in World War II aside from the famous D-Day landings and happenings in Northern France. In 2016 we were blessed with a superb offering set in the First Great War through Battlefield 1, and it was brilliant, adding and tweaking new mechanics into an already perfected formula that EA refuse to shy away from, and rightly so.īattlefield V does have what this year’s Call of Duty doesn’t: a single-player campaign, three in fact, and one on the way next month. And so, Battlefield V comes along and takes us back to its World War II roots. It’s safe to say they have learned from their mistakes and vow never to put their consumers in that place again. ![]() Sure, EA has undergone scrutiny over its implementation of advantageous loot boxes in Star Wars: Battlefront II, but thankfully those days are long gone. Unlike its long-time rival (Call of Duty), the Battlefield series has but one developer who consistently lives up to expectations, no matter the cost.
