I have being playing the "origin premium" version of Battlefield V this weekend thought i would right down some thoughts on it. So first off all i am a big battlefield fan started with 1942 and never looked back since, ( i still think BF2 on PC and Bad Company 2 on consoles was the height of the battlefield genre). I really liked BF1 Thought it had some neat maps and there new twist on conquest really helped where you had to push or defend certain points over a span off a view days, with that being said, I don't think these new maps are all that good, there just too small compare these maps to classics like wake island or strike at karkand and there like 1/4 off what they used to be, they probably did this because of the lack of vehicles in this game, let me tell you about that holly crap arn't there not enough vehicles in this BF Game, WWII was all about being the fastest in logistic / troop deployment you know blitzkrieg tactics but let's not cry to much about "authenticity" in this game the cosmetic options are okay and i am fine with there gender equal battlefield, as long as the game is fine, witch it ain't IMO I am a huge sucker for WWII ( Normandy, Bastonge etc... i have being there). The location of most of there maps are interesting with lesser know battles taking the lead here Algiers, Norway etc. And that's totally fine imo not every WWII game should have Omaha beach in there map rotation although i would really like Wake Island to come back it's a BF Classic. So when it comes to maps there just way too small and made for infantry only battles with a shorter time to kill ideal for your COD player trying out some battlefield.
When it comes to gun's there's your classic MP40 and Thompson machinegun with some more exotic stuff in the mix witch is always a welcoming sight in any WWII game no M1 garand though witch is a bummer but overall a okay line-up.
So Classes the lack off ammo you start with is interesting with a bigger focus on people playing support to give set players ammo, snipers are still as annoying as ever and wish they would restrict it to two per team, Rising Storm 2 do's this perfectly, Scouts should focus on scouting and not nesting them self behind the nearest rock :D. Medic bigger focus on SMG's definitely made this my favorite class in this game. Assault seems to be the most picked one with a nice balance between assault rifles and anti sniper rifles (semi auto rifles with scopes) and two sets off panzerfausts ( would have liked a bazooka unlockable or a panzershreck one, but sadly there ain't).
Battlefield is teamplay and you trying to work in team with some rando. witch most off the time works but there's always some lone wolf doing his own thing. The nice implementation off inactive squadleaders loosing there squadleaders status is welcoming (i tend to play squad leader cause most folk just ignore set role). The new squad leader "call in" system is probably the best thing about battlefield V. You score team points and you can use set point's to call in V1 rockets, supplies and tanks. Great addition!
Also wanted to point out that your able to build fortifactions now on set locations witch makes defending a position way more interesting. For Example there's a map with a big hangar in the middle of it where you can fortify it with sandbags tanktraps and MG turrets, I hope this one stays in in future battlefields.
So conclusion maps are to small, a bigger infantry focused battlefield, ideal for COD players (COD players would probably love this one.) With the lack off vehicles and sea maps, this might be one off my least favorite ones up there with Hard-line, a big bummer if you liked 1942. Let's hope they make Bad Company 3 next i think the time is right.
