I got this game cheap as it was on sale, based on my years of playing BF I was not expecting much. I have played all but the first one, Battlefield Bad Company 2 is where I started, and that set the standard for online gaming for me, I put 2000 hours into that years ago, sure it had problems but what a online game that was, great time waster to play with friends from around the globe, and was even ranked in the top 5000 globally, yeah spend way to much time playing it.
Anything that came after felt 1/2 done, boring and had no soul as in ''I have to play it'', BF one was a step in the right direction but did not get me all worked up, sure it looked the part, huge maps but just did not do it for me.
Now BF V was out for a while, I played the beta before that and was not going to get it based on that, but I got the game on the cheap and glad I did. Sure it is very fast paced at times as mentioned by other reviewers, kinda why I don't like Call of Duty, but it kinda depends what map you play on, get the bigger maps and it is fine, weapons are good but fail due to the lack of stopping power of anything 12G, hitting an enemy full on at less than 20 feet and they don't go down and kill me is very annoying. The rest of the weapons are good, although I find the medic class under powered. All vehicles are down well. It has got a few bugs, the worst I found is deploying an ammo crate that just disappears in the ground, but it works fine if I use the ammo pouch.
The ranking up is way to fast, it took me less than 65 hours to get to max 50 rank, I also don't care for the amount of effort they put into all the outfits and coloring of the weapons, yeah fine for kids, but not for this long term gamer, they should have spend that time on a better upgrade system for the weapons.
I have sat back in a safe place on the larger maps and looked at the action, planes doing their things, vehicles blowing up bullets flying everywhere, and it looks great, I have have had some epic rounds and do feel this game is a step in the right direction.
Cons for me, it is not hardcore enough for me, no way to turn the small map off, the spotter for the sniper makes it to easy to get your team score up, a few bugs here and there, not enough ranking up for your weapons, way to much of the silly color schemes and outfits.
Pro's for me, some of the larger maps are great, it all looks and feels great, weapons are good, but do need work in some classes, I have had some epic battles depending what your other players are like, get some duds and man you get slaughtered real fast.
I am glad I did not get it at full cost, but glad I did pick it up on the cheap, as it is not as bad as others make it out to be, sure it is at times fast and furious, it has some bugs, and needs work on the weapons classes, but it is a step in the right direction.
BFBC2 is still the benchmark for me, that game is a classic, this game got a solid 7 out of 10 for me, get the game cheap and give it a go.
I HAVE AROUND 125 HOURS INTO IT NOW AND WITH ALL THE BUGS NO HARDCORE MODE AND MULTIPLE WEAPONS THAT DON'T FIRE, WEAPONS THAT TAKE MORE THAN 10 SHOTS TO DOWN AN ENEMY, I CAN ONLY SCORE IT A 3 AND THAT'S BECAUSE IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS GOOD, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY, 3 OUT OF 10 FOR ME, DICE PRODUCED ANOTHER STINKER OF A GAME!
