1/10/2024 0 Comments Battlefield v campaign![]() Twisted Steel is also a good one, with its large bridge often becoming a hotbed of activity. I do already have some favourites, such as Rotterdam whose streets instigate some tense close-quarter firefights, and Fjell 652, a mountainous area with lots of elevated areas and sneaky nooks and crannies. ![]() While it’s too early to really say if the nine maps the game has launched with will resonate with fans in the long run, none of them elicit a groan from me when I see them coming up in rotation yet. There’s no other game out there that manages to convey the feel of all-out conflict like the Battlefield series does. ![]() Not compared to taking the action online and engaging in large-scale warfare, anyway.īattlefield V‘s online action is just as fast-paced and chaotic as ever, and that’s why I love it. They’re just not that interesting or enjoyable to play. Chances are though, after you’ve gone through them all once, you’ll not return unless you’re hellbent on unlocking all of the game’s achievements or trophies. Having you fight through woodland to take back a French chateau, Tirailleur feels more focused than Under No Flag and Nordlys, and is all the better for it.Īs usual, the War Stories are plagued with pointless collectables that don’t really have a purpose, and numerous challenges that might just have you return to each story to test your abilities. Thankfully, the third War Story, Tirailleur, keeps the need for stealth to a minimum, and also packs the most emotional punch upon its conclusion. The stories are different, sure, but the gameplay feels too familiar. But in Nordlys, you sneak around in the snow, sabotaging targets and investigating three key areas before having a standoff. In Under No Flag, you sneak around in sand and mud, sabotaging targets and investigating three key areas on a map before having a final standoff. Nordlys, the second War Story, feels overly similar gameplay wise to Under No Flag only the scenery is drastically different. Exciting set pieces are few and far between, and when they do occur they can be frustratingly chaotic. Left to complete objectives in the way you see fit, the gameplay also feels a little devoid of character, and at times can be bewildering. Tonally, it feels at odds with the serious grand opening of the game, with clichéd “I’m a cockney!” banter. He’s a failed bank robber who’s joined the Special Boat Section unit as part of a deal. Under No Flag is the worst of the bunch a story which places you in the shoes of Londoner Billy Bridger. It feels scrappy, and there’s just too much reliance on stealth. Split into three War Stories, each putting you in control of a new character in a new location, Battlefield V‘s campaign just doesn’t grab you like Battlefield 1‘s does. If, like me, you then jump into the game’s single player campaign though, your hype is likely to get deflated rather quickly. The controls are responsive, firing a gun feels forceful, and on Xbox One X, its graphics initially wow you. Opening much like Battlefield 1, with a sombre playable montage proclaiming the horrors of war, Battlefield V makes a good first impression. At the moment, then, there are a lot of features that tempt you to investigate them only to then say “Coming Soon!”. There are other features, too, that aren’t yet live, such as vehicle cosmetics. Just know that if you do buy it before December 4th there’ll be a War Story you can’t access, and the new Battle Royale online mode won’t be available until next year. It feels too early to review Battlefield V really, but it’s available to buy right now and you’re probably wondering whether you should spend your money on it. Its single player War Stories are noticeably different though: they’re noticeably worse. But Battlefield V‘s online offerings don’t currently stand out that much from its predecessors.
