The experience of actually playing through these stories is less consistent. As a result, each story feels more complete and narratively coherent. Compared with the shorter, more numerous single-player missions in 2016’s Battlefield 1, Battlefield V takes its time. Combined, the War Stories provide a fresh perspective on a war that video games have milked and enthusiastically recreated for years, and DICE’s narrative team clearly cared about treating each story with respect. Developer DICE says it plans to add a final post-release mission focusing on a German panzer unit. There’s a stealth-heavy mission as a Norwegian sniper, a cautionary tale starring Senegalese soldiers fighting in France, and a rough and tumble special ops campaign about British commandos. Each War Story is meant to educate players on one of the war’s fronts, focusing not on familiar battles like Normandy, Stalingrad, or Iwo Jima, but on lesser-known aspects of the great global conflict. They’re seriously-told stories, more docu-drama than Call of Duty’s HBO approach.
The single player “War Stories” focus on bite-sized tales from around the globe.
Now, Battlefield returns to World War Two with a similar self-seriousness.īattlefield V is divided between two modes with two different moods. 2016’s Battlefield 1 changed the tone with a serious look at World War One.
#Battlefield v review series
It is a boastful series focused on scale. Its battles have grown more destructive as the series added environmental destruction that levels buildings and transforms maps. Since then, the series has expanded and explored numerous settings: Vietnam, modern conflicts, and World War One. The Battlefield series started with 2002’s Battlefield 1942, a multiplayer first person-shooter that featured vehicles and large scale battles unlike players had seen.
