Review – Battlefield V | Atomix

The First person shooting, one of the most popular genres of the video game industry had two great times: lean cows and fat cows. Many have been the titles on the catwalks like this, including the strange negrito in rice; the examples are clear: there is the Call of Duty: Infinite war, a title that many of us would like to forget, or the great proposal of my compis HE SAYS and EA, Battlefield 1.

In 2016, the game of both companies surprised us all, not only by its theme – the First World War – but also by its excellent game dynamics, its emotional war stories and its frenzied multiplayer mode. As always, I will be honest with you, even though there were a lot of carnitas in the form of downloadable content in this taco, I was really looking forward to seeing more.

That's how all the fans stayed on the lookout for any clues revealing the next title of the franchise, which took place in May of this year, when EA and DICE revealed Battlefield V, the new opus of the franchise that would develop during the Second World War, one of the most recurring conflicts in the history of the genre, but with the power of the graphics engine frostbite Of course, we would be surprised again.

Personally, what DICE showed in the new title revelation trailer, I really liked, but a lot of fans were very at odds with the study. The reason, the study decided to include women and even prosthetics in the new franchise game. I take this opportunity to tell you that I really like the inclusion in video games and that I will always support variety in character design, of course if it does not affect the gameplay.

After some delays and to give an official position on the inclusion, finally the study revealed the official launch date of Battlefield V, but not only, he also said that the game would not have of paid content, that all DLC would be free and that in addition to the campaign and the multiplayer mode, a royal battle mode would also be proposed, but would a combo like this satisfy the hordes of fans? I will tell you here in our review of Battlefield V.

Episode V: The return of war stories

Battlefield V includes a campaign mode called War Stories, in which DICE repeats the formula of the previous slice and transports us to four different moments of conflict on different fronts: Under no flag, a story that takes place in the North Africaof 1942 and in which we will control one of the first United Kingdom Special Forces soldiers; Nordlys, a story about mother and daughter taking place in the Norway occupied in 1943; and sharpshooter, a little known story about the African soldiers of the French colonies who fought to liberate la France and that develops in the Provence of 1944, towards the end of the war.

There is an additional chapter called The last tiger, in which we will take control of a German commander and his tiger tank. The latter is not yet available and, according to my carnal DICE, it will be soon after the launch of the game, November 20 next.

How are they? The story of the three stories available is good and I'm sure this will inspire you to explore more of the themes they present, but their structure is very similar: in the three chapters, there is some stealth, some in which you must destroy or capture three points and a last fight that will put your ability to the test with control, thus turning the solo section into a repetitive experience.

Yes, the freedom to fulfill the goals of each campaign is comfortable enough, giving the player the opportunity to reach them as he pleases. You can use the elements of your environment to succeed and in the time you want, which, by the way, complete the three available episodes will take you about six hours, depending on the difficulty chosen.

Now, in the countryside, there are different classes of enemies: there are doctors who revive their comrades, support soldiers who bring heavy weapons, assault soldiers who bring weapons more current, reconnaissance soldiers armed with sniper rifles and finally commanders and soldiers with flamethrowers who are more resistant. Artificial intelligence is a good challenge for players facing the greatest difficulties, even if you play at a medium level, you can deal with many enemies.

After completing all three episodes, I felt a sense of emptiness. Yes, they are quite interesting and even emotional, but the most striking chapter – by Satan, they give you the opportunity to control a Tiger tank, what more can you ask for? It is not available, which gives the impression of playing an incomplete campaign. BV's war stories are certainly not as engaging as those of his predecessor.

Create rivers of blood

The gameplay of Battlefield V is very similar to that of the last delivery and that of any FPS in general: you shoot with the right trigger, you aim with the left trigger, you move with the left stick and you jump with one of the buttons on the control – depending on what platform you are playing. On the other hand, if you use the control keyboard, you can access different combat tools, such as a panzerschreck, a sticky dynamite or a grenade launcher, depending on the class selected in the multiplayer mode or the weapons you collect in the campaign.

Of course, there are some changes in BV that make it a good FPS. For starters, the ballistic trajectory has been modified, which gives you greater accuracy in shooting and a sense of arcade that will make you spend many hours of pleasure. On the other hand, in the multiplayer mode was added a system of fortifications that allows you to place barbed wire, sandbags, bridges and even the famous Czech hedgehog, which stimulates the creation of different strategies during the fight . I assure you that these changes will give you many more fun games, as long as you are well connected to your business, but we will get there.

Finally, there is the handling of vehicles, which presents some difficulties when using the camera in the land battleships, while in the air combat, clashes are very fun thanks to a system of conventional controls axis reversed. The premise is still there and it keeps working.

To go to the multiplayer section, there are three main formats:

1. Conquest, by far the most frenetic format and the star of the title. In this mode, your goal is to capture and keep the flags in different points of the map, win the one that holds them longer and eliminate all the players of the opposing team. Up to 64 players can participate in this game mode.
2. Major operations, it is a great conflict that develops at different stages in which are a team in defense and a team in attack. The battle includes different game modes, is developed in several cards and can participate up to 64 pelaos.
3. The infantry, a slightly more compact format in which there is rotation of the cards and in which only infantrymen can be selected, that is to say that there will be Meme it no vehicles. Here you can play with up to 32 players in Domination, The Front and Team Deathmatch game modes.

Each of them offers a lot of action on eight big cards: Steel field, Arras, Hamada, Rotterdam, Narvik, Aerodrome, The devastation and FJELL 652; However, unlike B1 cards, the new franchise's playgrounds are stiff and even compact, giving you a sense of restraint when setting your game strategy.

When writing this review, two sections will be unlocked until early December: Crossing of war and Field of practiceso maybe you can come back here once we have seen its contents thoroughly.

In the game, you can select the server you want to connect to and include a filter to find the game mode that's right for you, but you'll soon realize that the most popular game mode is conquest. This may change when BV becomes available. for everyone.

When you enter combat, the most important is your company, which is automatically responsible for speeding up the loading of each game. Each of these groups of soldiers must be well balanced and in harmony to meet the objectives of the game. For this, you can choose between four types of classes: assault, support, doctor and explorer. Each of these classes has archetypes that you can modify as you customize your character, opening the door to a variety of combinations that can be converted. your company in the deadliest of the battlefield.

The problem of playing in a team is always the same for all the FPS who have this modality: the group does not know how to play in a team. While I was playing, several times, I was killed by flanks in which I swore to be my company or I bled to death because neither my friends nor a doctor on my team had the courtesy of getting up. I strongly recommend that if you go into BV, you do it with three friends, otherwise you will feel a huge frustration.

Hey RodoBut how to unlock new archetypes? Very easy my dear reader, playing. When DICE said goodbye to the content of the pay, he really said, the only thing to do to acquire this leather or telescopic viewfinder that you liked so much, is to play more with the l & # 39; 39 weapon and the class you want to edit. because you can also modify your vehicles. The more you do more aesthetic objects and weapons that you can use. A good incentive to keep players stuck to BV. The combinations depend entirely on you and you complete many special missions and daily orders.

Regarding the online mode, it turns out a little porous because I had some problems to find a match after a match, so I had to restart it on more than one occasion. In addition, the time to find a game in 64-player mode may take about a minute.

His foot made pop

One of the brightest elements of the Battlefield franchise is the graph. For some titles, the audiovisual quality of the DICE games has become a delight for the players, and it's no wonder that the power of the game frostbite They showed what they could do and what they could do better.

Battlefield V once again repeats all of the above: its mix of sounds and impressive visuals will make you feel like you're on the battlefield, thanks to the care of details such as explosions, the destruction of buildings – much more dynamic than before – and the dynamics of light and shadow.

I was testing the game in a Xbox One standard and I noticed several textures slow to load and elements that were installed inside the map, as well as bugs that resulted in impossible walks and very strange postures. Some cinematics are even perceived as poor quality.

That's what happened in the version I tested in EA's offices, San FranciscoI was therefore very surprised to see how dirty the visual quality was with these details. I hope that with an update everything will be solved without major problem.

Like in almost every FPS, the recommendation here playing Battlefield V with a good sound or worn hearing instruments so you can really enjoy it

And in silence, we forget …

Battlefield V is this is a good FPS that invites you to review everything related to World War II. Slight changes in the dynamics of his game make it much more fun than before. However, the design of his cards and even his characters is less brilliant than in his previous delivery.

Including a campaign mode is something that many of us enjoy a lot, but it feels repetitive and, although his story is good, I do not think it stays in the hearts of the players.

Although in general, the sound and visual effects are impressive, it presents stripes in the programming that partly reflect its brightness in one of the most striking sections of the game.

On the other hand, I am very happy that EA listened to the players and eliminated their devilish business model; In addition, I feel a bit frustrated that I can not prove the whole game. The absence of one of the war stories, the famous Royal battle mode – which will be called Fire Storm – and War Crossing, is not satisfactory. In addition, I would have preferred to be delayed again, but have all the experience.

Despite the above, BV is one of the FPS that you simply can not miss this year. Remember that the game will be available on November 20 on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
