Battlefield V (Xbox One/SX)

Auch wenn Battlefield V kein Meilenstein ist, so ist es trotzdem ein solider Shooter, der Spaß und gewaltige Action bietet. Durch die Wahl des Zweiten Weltkriegs kann man diesen in noch nie da gewesener Grafik erleben.

Battlefield 5 ist der neue König der Multiplayer-Shooter.

Battlefield V is a grand and addictive shooter with some smart ideas for improving gunplay and team dynamics, but at launch it has too many technical issues and holes in its content to excel.

Anyway, it's Battlefield, and a pretty decent one at that. It's certainly not as interesting as its predecessor, but if you wanted Battlefield to return to its World War II roots then it's done that at long last. There's no Midway this time, no Omaha Beach, but in other key ways not much has changed in 16 years.

Battlefield V is a good, if safe game that feels more iterative than innovative. Its legacy will likely be defined by how steady and interesting the stream of new content is moving forward.

Battlefield V's multiplayer takes squadplay and infantry combat in a very worthwhile direction, but rampant bugs and half-baked features take their toll. This is one to watch as it improves over time.

The Battlefield series has a winning formula that Battlefield V doesn't deviate far from, at least for now. Conquest and the map roster don't mesh well together, however, Grand Operations-- and the other modes within it--steal the show and foster some of the greatest moments the franchise has offered.

Battlefield V isn't an across-the-board step up from Battlefield 1, but it nails the essentials. It's not just a good Battlefield game, it's a great one. For those folks who wrote DICE off early on, that might come as a surprise. For alpha and beta testers who got a feel for the heightened focus on squad dynamics and player-built fortifications, it's... also a surprise!

A strange focus on stealth makes Battlefield V's single-player campaigns miss opportunities for more of the large-scale warfare the series does best, but its stories are well told.
