Battlefield V Returns Towards World War II theme - no premium passes or DLCs
Dice and EA have unveiled the release date of Battlefield V. The WW shooter will be released on October 19th and takes place in a Second World War theme. Good to know it that there will not be any premium passes and DLCs to purchase, the pay-to-win design is gone.
A new gameplay mode, Grand Operations, was introduced. These are like the Operations from Battlefield 1but are bigger. They cover multiple game modes, take place over multiple maps, and they're all wrapped up in a four-day narrative journey that covers historical moments from World War II. The single player War Stories mode will also be returning and continues the anthology format of Battlefield 1. Once again, the aim of this mode is to bring war into perspective with untold stories of real and relatable characters and their experiences. Players will meet new characters, the men and women who changed history. One of them will be told from the perspective of a female Nowegian Resistance fighter, battling against the German occupation. The trailer shows that players can shoulder barge through doors move and shoot while crawling backwards. It also showcases the soldier customization in action, as evidence by the woman's hook-like hand.
Dice mentions there is a renewed movement system in Battlefield V with new animations, little was shared about it. It is however expected the game will run both DirectX 11 and 12, much like the current version. It was also emphasized that many environmental things can be shot, players can shoot buildings, not only with explosives; but firearms with a heavy caliber can cause damage. Another innovation is the fact that players from the support class can build fortifications with a toolbox, but can also dig trenches or set up machine gun posts.
Battlefield V is going to launch October 19 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Deluxe Edition owners will gain early access on October 16, Origin Access and EA Access subscribers will receive a Play First trial on October 11. Moreover, those who pre-order will receive open beta access sometime before launch.

Uhm yes, those people might want to play WW2 with up to date graphics and mechanics, not 1942... not everybody walking around was the one man army commando trooper. But I agree with you that it was more protrayed like a cowboy's war, and indeed it was highly irregular in many ways.
I personally don't have such a huge problem with the theme as it is, they already said with BF1 that they made some compromises between playability and historical accuracy, and after all it's a video gamen made to entertain, not to teach you about historical accurate happenings. You just have to get used to it, like many people complained about BF1 and it's theme when it was released, and eventually I found it to be very interesting too.
I just meant, that if it was the next BF:BC game, they could have maybe opted to put more focus on that coop game mode and your own company creation, even in WW2 times, that would have worked and fit pretty well with the Bad Company idea I think. Not that it couldn't work now.
Yes, but there are other WW2 games in development that are more true to the war, like that one being developed by the team behind Squad. Forgot the name. Might be interesting for those people? It's of course not an arcade mad house (which I really missed in BF1, though the gunplay was very arcady, the game as a whole lacked the whacky experiences the older games gave with the vehicles).
But yes, I agree it would've been sweet if this was like a BF:BC prequel where it was like, the grandfathers of the guys from BF:BC doing a Kelly's Heroes style heist for gold in nazi germany and you had this over the top aesthetic they're going for here. I do feel that could clash quite a lot with the sombre "War Stories" style tales that they're probably going to go for. But then, that's the SP... BF1's SP was so buggy and boring that I didn't even finish the mission where you have to escort a tank.
This is not a good sign. Every time there are spectacular videos released before the actual game is revealed, turns out to be a big ol dud. Supposedly June 6th is when you will actually get to see actual gameplay. So I will reserve judgement until then. But I must say the "reveal" on May 23rd was less than informative and interesting. They skimmed over so much it makes me weary of the final product. All I got out of it was bullets will go thru walls and kill.. Umm ok? And I was in the Marine Corps and in Afghanistan, and I don't remember seeing any blue face paint, on either side!
Sooooo like every single big-budget game ever? Except they're not all duds.
Here, - this is a rundown of all kinds of gameplay mechanics from someone who has been playing the game recently and is now allowed to talk about it. LOTS of things of interest in that.

I'll download, finish the singleplayer, delete and forget.
I might be wrong, but it is my understanding that it doesn't have a single-player mode, just multi-player only which if true I will not buy then.

Some of the updates the video in AlmondMan's post allude to make it sound like good old hardcore mode is the norm. I like it.

It has the same style of Singleplayer as BF1 with a bunch of different stories across the war.

Same here. Half the point of playing a game is to be someone you aren't, with abilities you don't have, and no real consequences. I'm a tall lanky white male who values intelligence above all else. I don't care to see an avatar of that. When I play an RPG, I'll often play as a non-white (or even non-human) female who is short, stout, and likes to fight her way through problems via physical force. It's more interesting to play a life that doesn't resemble your own.
Or, in games where it's 3rd-person, I'd much rather have a female character in my view the whole time. Not only is that more pleasant for me to look at, but females in games tend to be smaller/thinner, thereby taking up less screen space and giving me a visual advantage. In the vast majority of games, the stats tend to be the same regardless of which character you play as.
I always play as female characters in video games that allow me to play as a female xD

The new COD doesn't have singleplayer. I know nothing about the new BF but they have a record to make a campaign.

I wish they would make a game where you have to go thru time like in the Time Cop movie. You have futuristic weapons and your just over powered in the past, but you eventually need to use the old weapons after you run out of ammo. Imagine being in the Wild west tracking someone from the future down with an energy weapon. That would be sick. Going into the future and being under powered until you find a futuristic weapon. That would be an awesome game if they didn't F it up! And leave SJW out of it for God's sake! Make a great game and it will sell itself.

There was a game sort of like that, and it did sell well. It was called Timesplitters, and IMO it was one of the best FPS franchises of all time. Games today still pale in comparison to how much fun that was (hard to choose whether TS2 or TS3 is better). Usually, the weapons stayed within the era in single player, but in multiplayer you could mix and match weapons.

Although BF1 might have sold pretty well the game was a disaster for me. No wonder they are not doing PP and paid DLCs anymore since they pissed the player base off with their free DLC's for everyone but paying customers.
I'm done with the BF series until MAYBE BFBC3 comes out.

You just played, got the kills you needed and unlocked your weapon, you had to work for it. There wasn't 500 attachment unlocks and camo skins, you didnt need it...why? Because the gameplay was the focus. These games today are not focused on gameplay, all its about now is pretty graphics and giving everyone a participation award.."everyone's a winner! yay!"
Just return to simple games with simple gameplay.
I wish there would be a new Battlefield like this. I suffer from 'too many choices' syndrome.
Too many weapons and attachments. Don't care about the leveling either. Too much work to unlock those weapons with personal objectives that in most cases don't help the team to win the match. I want it to be simple but with teamwork and tactics. And gore. We need gore. Although I do laugh when I see someone flying from an explosion.
Do you play RS2: Vietnam?

They said no premium or DLC but they never said anything about no subscription model. I will watch cautiously from a distance.

"She... SHE!!!... How DARE you assume zer's gender!" Lol. Hilarious.
There is only one important question: is she transgendered and lesbian? Because if not, I expect EA's shares to drop by at least 17%.

I wonder if this time I should do it that way, if I decide to play this game:
Don't preorder. That's for sure.
Don't get premium. That's for sure also since it doesn't exist
Don't buy the game at launch. It always too them weeks and sometimes months to get rid of the biggest bugs and crippling things like when you couldn't jump over obstacles or only in a 90° angle for a few weeks...
