    9 dollars too much. Its a proper free to play.

    • Hank Scorpion on 15/07/2022 - 12:18

      To be fair it is a lot better then when it launched, it's probably nearly ready for release now.

      The games biggest issues now are content, there just are not many guns or maps. They've tried to bring in a new exodus mode that uses the old maps which were portal only but they keep rotating that mode out and it's only 64 players.

      The new exposure map is easily the best map in the game, they need more maps like what that one offers.

      • Abraxsas on 15/07/2022 - 13:42
        +2

        Biggest Issue is no one is playing it even with Cross Play on (which gives advantage to PC players)…Lobbies are quite often empty which makes it hard to level up the Season challenges if you can't actually find a game. I've mostly been playing Solo. Haven't seen a match with a full lobby for a long time, mostly 25 players or less. Regardless i'm still enjoying it as frustrating as it is with shitty NBN.

        • Hank Scorpion on 15/07/2022 - 17:26

          Yeah I enjoy it and I have to agree with the player issue, I think that more content like the Exposure map might bring more players back as the game itself is actually pretty good now. I mostly play later at night and on weekends so I find lobbies usually have players in them, the bots usually wake up about 1030PM and start filling up the server(s).

        • gazer on 16/07/2022 - 10:57

          Beta cross play was better where you had more control over which platforms to cross with - not just on or off. But then player numbers tanked with release and they needed to lump players more it seems

      Wait…are Amazon paying me $9 to take it from them?

  • mrtee on 15/07/2022 - 09:42

    I paid $90 for this game on PC and yet to play one whole game without it crashing. Running a Ryze 5600x, GPU: 6900xt, 32gb 3600mhz ram. I've tried all the solves they've put up and yet nothing seems to work for me. I'm assuming it would be better optimised on console.

    • TDCook on 15/07/2022 - 09:45

      Aint much better on console. It doesnt crash but get flogged by KB and mouse. I paid $79 and tried to get my monies worth with great frustration..

      • mith on 15/07/2022 - 10:28

        Can you use a KB and mouse on PS5 ?

        • GachiFish on 15/07/2022 - 10:38

          Don't think so but it has crossplay so you end up playing against PC people with KBM

      I paid $70ish on release and it's still in my draw, un-activated, because all my mates cancelled their preorders without telling me.

      I share the same sentiment.
      I didnt even bother trying to get a refund. For me it will just be a reminder in my library never to buy a Battlefield again (or within the first two months)

      So I am not the only one!
      Every time I launched it, it either crashed and rebooted my whole PC right after the launch of couple minutes later.
      I couldn't fix that. Also running a Ryzen 5600x.

    • andigaming on 15/07/2022 - 10:42

        I tried but they said post the 30 days no refund. I didn't refund striaght away bcoz I thought they'd eventually release a fix for it, but that's far from the truth, now I read they're resorting to skeleton crew for this game.
        Never preordering from this company again.

    Does this have a single player mode, and is it good? For $9, I don't mind if it is short - but I don't really play online, so those modes don't appeal to me.

      There’s singleplayer in the sense you can make a match vs bots. Which is basically online these days as servers are dead.

      • deadpoet on 15/07/2022 - 11:33

        To clarify for anyone wondering: there is no offline play against bots, everything is online-only. Complete dealbreaker.

    • Abraxsas on 15/07/2022 - 13:46

      You can play SOLO online….fighting against AI Bots, i do it quite a bit as the Multiplayer lobbies are quite often empty…For 9$ it's a deal.

    Buying a disc to then have to download and install a slew of updates makes it kind of redundant.

      For PC version, they don't have disc inside the box but only a cd-key and you need to download all the base game and updated.

    My comment from 3 months ago;

    EB Games trades it at $15 store credit for a level 4 (which is 20% extra value).

    tldr; not worth the trade in if wanting to make a quick buck

    Trade price would have gone down so not worth the investment if you want to trade in to EB.

    • jollyrogga on 15/07/2022 - 10:25

      At this stage it would not even trade for $10 as they are also having a sale which affects trade value.

    • PuntyBrah on 15/07/2022 - 11:33

  • dogzilla on 15/07/2022 - 10:06

    To be fair they added new maps in zero hour which aren't bad, but the lack of players and significant level of AI opponents (like 80% of the players on any given game) really impacts the enjoyment.

    They should have added all these maps on the first release and they might have maintained some player base. At $9 its not bad but you will get frustrated by the following:

    Lack of playable servers
    Lack of actual people to play against
    Lack of a finished product, still has bugs which were complained about from the outset
    Lack of new maps
    Lack of single player

    Apart from that its great.

    • SaddenAscentAspirin on 15/07/2022 - 10:12

      I think there is only one map that is actually "new". The rest are just the BF4 maps. Which is fine, but not like they're putting in that much effort.

      Not quite, I know someone that works at Dice and has for most of the games, even back to the BF1942 community mods and they wanted another year for development but as usual management says FU

  • Sidog on 15/07/2022 - 10:20

    I've been a massive Battlefield fan since BF2… (Bad Company 2 was the high point)… got this for $9 last time on Amazon and honestly it's just not worth it… it feels like you're running in mud when playing the game and honestly I think BFV is a way better game and even looks better on the base PS4.

    Real shame… I've never been much of a COD player but I've got a pre-order with Amazon for the PS5 version of Modern Warfare 2 as it's slim pickings for FPS this generation.

  • Damannation on 15/07/2022 - 10:53

    Too many games seem to get released now as online only multiplayers with no solo campaigns. I honestly do not get why they try to sell these games for $70+ rather than just have paid skins like all the other free online only games. Or if they don't want to rely on skins atleast make it like $20 at launch. Multiplayer used to be the bonus to a good game now it's just purely the focus with everything having to be online and no local play.

    • PiratePete1911 on 15/07/2022 - 14:42

      They think they can charge 70 dollars AND have paid skins, the problem was you also need to make a game that isnt awful at the very least for people to care enough to buy skins.

    I bought it from Amazon a couple of months back for $9.

    There's no single player and I couldn't get into a multiplayer game.

    I played what seemed to be a tutorial with bots for 20 minutes or so.

    Seemed like a very generic low to mid budget FPS.

    Nothing about it enticed me to play for a 2nd time.

    Battlefield V is a much better deal, very nice campaign, excellent multiplayer.

    I picked up Call Of Duty Vanguard for $19 from Amazon and that is a much better game. Good, arguably very good campaign, albeit particularly short. And multiplayer was very nice. I've barely played CoD multiplayer and I guess it could be argued that Vanguard multiplayer is the same old same old, but for me it's been nice to play. I've dropped out pretty quickly but I can see myself jumping back in every now and then. It's pretty simple in many respects so it's a nice jump in jump out title.

    As much as people are complaining about the game, honestly I've enjoyed my time playing it. It hasn't crashed since the first week after it came out for me.

    Definitely were a few too many games with maybe 30% bots in the early days, but that rarely seems to happen since the most recent update which brought a LOT of new players.

    If a game does happen to start with bots mixed in with real players, within 5 minutes it's full of real players and the bots are auto-kicked (games typically last 15-20 minutes)

    I've only played on PC so can't comment on what its like on console, but on PC at least its easily worth $9 if you've got someone else to play with
