Narvik and Aerodrome sit somewhere in the middle. Hamada, a large desert map, is great for vehicle combat, but the distances between control points and the generally increased time-to-kill in Battlefield 5 mean you spend a lot of time running back to where you died and, if youвЂ™re unlucky, being sniped by someone on the way. ItвЂ™s visually impressive and incredibly atmospheric, but the cluttered geometry and lack of clear, identifiable paths to each control point make it feel messy and poorly paced. Less successful is Devastation, the Rotterdam-based map I mentioned earlier. Its exposed mountainside location makes for some hectic firefights, with opportunities for distant snipers and aircraft to make your life hell. Fjell 652, set in the mountains of Norway, is a lot of fun too, particularly the control point situated among a scattering of cabins. The open areas are perfect for vehicle skirmishes, while infantry can battle for control of the farmhouses and villages scattered around the area. Its elevated position gives snipers a great vantage point on the swamp and buildings below, but luckily the bridge is strewn with rubble and flaming wrecks, providing just enough cover for the opposing team to push through and claw back territory.ДЄrras is another great map: an expanse of French countryside covered in vivid yellow rapeseed fields. When the enemy team has control of the bridge, wrestling it back from them is a fun, satisfying challenge. DXR is another story, and you can check out our Battlefield 5 performance analysis for the details. I also experienced some judder, particularly on the Narvik map. But on my GTX 1080 at home I had to knock the graphics preset down to high to keep a mostly stable 60fps at 1440p.

Performance Predictably, Battlefield 5 runs beautifully on a PC with an RTX 2080 Ti I tested it on. Overall, Battlefield V can be lots of fun to play today, even if thereвЂ™s still a lot of building left to do.Graphics options Field of view, motion blur, chromatic aberration, film grain, HDR, future frame rendering, texture quality, texture filtering, lighting quality, anti-aliasing post-processing, effects quality, post-process quality Their successful story moments arenвЂ™t really enough to go out of your way for but theyвЂ™re worth playing once youвЂ™re here. On the single-player front, Battlefield V presents three short but distinct vignettes that weirdly focus on small-scale stealth instead of bombastic vehicular warfare. Bold changes to BattlefieldвЂ™s traditional gunplay, essential resources, and team dynamics create a strong foundation. However, thereвЂ™s a great deal of raw potential here that could, with time and luck, be forged into one of the seriesвЂ™ best.

And a variety of bugs, underdeveloped features, and placeholder menu screens remind you of that at nearly every turn. Like a fresh recruit, Battlefield V was clearly deployed into action without adequate preparation.

Read the full Battlefield V Single-Player Review A lack of enemy variety or consistent AI makes it feel a little whack-a-mole in the more linear segments, until it opens up and gives you some options for how you want to tackle its objectives. HereвЂ™s Dan StapletonвЂ™s verdict.Д«attlefield V'sВ single-player campaigns have a heavy reliance on stealth that doesnвЂ™t always play to the seriesвЂ™ strengths, but they do tell some poignant stories and deliver great-looking and sounding gunplay in explosive battles. WhatвЂ™s here is decent, even though theyвЂ™re a little short at only about five hours, and there are some moments that genuinely strike a chord. ItвЂ™s baffling that you donвЂ™t even get to drive a tank outside of the intro. Elsewhere, the fact that only three of four single-player campaigns are available right now only adds to the feeling that Battlefield V was rushed out.
