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.

And I was like: "BF1 is likely last BF for a while I bought..."
If they keep this plan on launch day, I'll buy it. But if they change it later, I'm done with EA as a whole.

Somewhere (I believe it was from this site) I had heard that this game was going to take the side of the Germans for a change which would be something different at least. Oh well.

BF people rarely care about CoD. Those are very different games and have very different business model.
You can play BF after 10 years from initial release. But with CoD, you have 30% of matches where there is at least one cheater with some crazy hacks shortly before next CoD is released. And one must have no self respect to play CoD 2 years after release as at that point matches are just hack fest.
When I had argument about CoD few months ago, I just reinstalled CoD:BO, and then uninstalled after 4 matches.
1st took 30 seconds to finish (including scoreboard) as guy was killing everyone alive with one single shot regardless of place/cover (like if everyone stood in line to be killed with single bullet).
2nd had few WHackers clearly tracking targets via walls. (how amateurish, but they apparently did not have to care as they were not detected by system nor there was anyone who would ban their game copy upon checking replay or anything)
3rd was OK, or it seemed that way.
4th guy with speedhack, rapidfire. I mean those are easiest hacks to be detected.
When I played Old Good BF2/4 last year, I saw few system messages about people being banned for hacks.
Then it would likely be banned in Germany.
