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.

If you talk trash about men, natural sex from birth, straight people, Christians or patriots you are legal and loved by communities, countries and forums. You are an agonist and an educated rebel.
If you love LGBTQI+, Jewish, Feminism, Woman's superiority to the level of enslaving man, Atheism, Satanism etc, you are the beloved man of the new world order they build. Welcome new age. Welcome history re-written.
If someone is of old order, respects history, he is conservative and loves all the above in the first sentence, he is hated, he is banned, he does not deserve to talk the democracy itself bans his freedom to live like his ancestors. FU system with your open-minded fools.
Netflix, series, movies, games, everything fakes history and data. Battlefield became victim. Nazis never existed neither swastika.
This is some next level hyperbolization.
The bottom line is women served in WW2 in multiple different areas - from snipers like the one I linked above in the Russian army, to the Night Witches air force unit, spies like Nancy Wake, or Wanda Gerts who commanded an all-female battalion. EA choosing to represent these women with a single character is a sign of respect to the women who served, not an SJW history-rewritten renaissance. The fact that I've read dozens of comments that claim no women served in WW2 is basically proof of how ignorant people are. I also find it amusing how angry people are getting over it - who were the snowflakes again?

Maybe a bunch in Russia, and not taller than males. They were in the resistance, never read about female snipers on the front.

Ignoring the fact that I can't even find a shot of them all standing on the same level to verify the accuracy of your implication, who cares? Why do I care if she's taller than the men? Why do I care if female snipers didn't fight on the front? It's not real. The battlefield games are full of historical inaccuracy.. I won the Battle of the Budge as Germany in BF1942, 10 years ago. Last time I checked history wasn't rewritten, no university books got an 11th edition, updated in order to reflect the new historical findings presented by Electronic Arts.
It's a video game. Women fought in the war, in the resistance and at home to support troops.. maybe there wasn't a female sniper on the front, I don't know.. but why can't I or anyone else play a woman sniper on the front? Why is that so terrible? Nazi's who gassed millions of innocent people can win a battle they lost in real life, for the sake of gameplay, but god forbid they add a female frontline sniper to represent the larger backing of women in the military and help the inclusiveness of female gamers. Can't have that.. too unrealistic and the payoff totally not worth it.. /s

So why not laser guns? That female character is good for mad max or wolfenstein, not for Bf.

The answer is simple... the nazi's could just as easily have won, so it still feels authentic when they win, even if they didn't IRL... women were generally not a part of the army in that way IRL, even if there were a few exceptions (just as black men weren't fighting for the german army in europe during ww1... yey for political correctness... not), thus is feels unauthentic for ea to portray women as leading the frontline...

I guess we can ignore the 7500 in the Indian reserves, the British Anti Aircraft gunners, and thousands of resistance fighters in most occupied countries. You've been shown that the Soviet Union had hundreds of thousands of women in combat roles so I want you to tell me EXACTLY what has to be shown before you accept that there could be a picture with a woman soldier in it in a combat role. Because as far as I'm concerned, you have to be completely stupid to still be droning on about how women weren't in the military and political correctness while you're being shown that, at a minimum, hundreds of thousands of women served in combat roles.
I know, you probably get really tired of people calling you sexist, or racist, but you have to understand why people keep doing it to you. It's because you insist on continuing to spout bullshit as you're consistently proven wrong, but continue to push through on the back of sheer blind ignorance.

Not this talk in here too... Really?
Its Dice/EA:s unique take on WW2, so no its not about full realistic or authentic in history way.

They could have just presented it as alternate history "aka" using artistic license to make something roughly based on World War Two and there wouldn't be any issue with what was shown.
With that said the reveal trailer was terrible, and not for the reasons relating to the disabled British woman fighting on the front lines.

This... it's a game... and with complaining about a woman in this game, it's like... the other side of the SJW coin. And I'm fed up with it somewhat, it's all about that female character and her arm / hand prothesis, not the gameplay mechanics at all, or what the new game modes might do etc. It's not about the game but about it's visual design and how people interpret them. SJW-dom at it's best.

I tried looking up what that means and from what I can tell it's something to do with someone feeling as if the world owes them sex?

This is how trailers use to be made! Now you can't tell me that the BF:V trailer is more exciting then the BF3 trailer. In the BF3 trailer you saw gameplay footage of everything, vehicles and all. On the subject of women in video games pushing a narrative, we'll you'll love this story. In my country the local council is going to change the pedestrian crossing symbol to a "women"..to be more gender equal. This is not a joke....https://au.news.yahoo.com/council-changing-pedestrian-crossing-symbols-female-211125438.html

Oh, that trailer... the old maps... makes me sentimental. Still remember the fun I've had on those maps... *sigh*
We only saw a launch trailer. Compare BF3 launch trailer and BF5 launch trailer, and it spells a different story, I have to admit. But yes, the new one caters more to the "LENSFLARE! ACTION!" generation of gamers. Let's wait for a MP gameplay trailer to compare them I'd say.
