Anyone playing it? Just came out, and since I’ve had every BF game since the beginning, I had to get it.
It’s not too bad. I dont like not being able to spot enemies - it makes it much tougher - and it seems like you get shot (and kill) a whole lot faster and easier.
Maps are pretty good, airplanes are absolutely devastating with a good pilot, and there’s no way to actually defend against them with personal weaponry, so thats a bit unbalanced.
Progression thru ranks is a bit odd - lots of ways to customize how your soldier looks - but who really cares about that? Getting better weapons and sights seems to be pretty slow going.
But its really just a different BF game - nothing earth shatteringly new.
Overall, I think I got my money’s worth.
Does it allow healing via med kits, etc.?
Are the ballistics realistic?
The damage from rounds?
Yes- Med kits are just like other BF games, ballistics seem typical, and damage seems more than past games. Damage has never been realistic, of course...it generally doesn’t take six shots to bring down a person.
I will say though... long range damage seems to be pretty high- I’ve been able to get some guys from pretty far away.
I thought as much.
I play 'Red Orchestra' a WWII realism game.
No med kits. Iron sights. Realistic ballistics and damage... No cross hairs. No "laser" rounds that impact exactly where you point regards bullet flight time and drop...
A 7.92mm rifle round to the torso is a one shot kill while a 9mm pistol round to the foot slows you down. Your injury remains until you respawn.
I got spoiled.
I have seen BF, MOH and COD players throw fragmentation grenades at tanks. They shoot pistols past 75 meters and ask why they can't hit anything.
Kind of fun to watch.
Nobody wants a realistic game.
It means once your hit, game is over.
It means a shot in your foot doesnt ‘slow you down’.... it doesnt allow you to stand, and your accuracy would suffer because of the distracting pain.

Yeah, wasn't the smartest thing to say, but honestly, having played COD WWII on and off for most of its run, I don't get some of the reaction to BF: V in terms of the whole woman thing or prosthetic arms and cricket bats.
I mean COD: WWII had women right off the bat, not in the campaign mind you, but in the multiplayer and some of the customization options, particularly later in the games lifespan were getting pretty ridiculous.
But maybe EA and Dice had themselves to blame, I mean typically Battlefield takes a more realistic approach to its settings and combat and if they had been up front about the fact this was gonna be a slightly wackier, more out there kind of WWII game then they had made before, they could have spared themselves the wrath of some of the fans that like a more realistic and faithful approach and I think if memory serves me correct someone did say specifically they wanted to give such an experience so there's definitely a little bit on them in this regard.
But at the same time, how upset some people got about people with vaginas being featured in the game, I was like meh, take it easy man.
The female thing is weird- but I guess they probably want to attract more women players.
It’s all just chatter- makes no impact upon the gameplay, which is fairly good. More maps would be nice, but I’m sure they’re coming.
One thing someone I watched commented on, was it seems there's fewer vehicles in fewer situations in this Battlefield, have you found that to be the case?
