  • Like many, I joined the Battlefield franchise with Battlefield 2042 (bf2042) and though I enjoyed it after the support from Season 1, I often heard people telling me the other titles in the franchise were better. So, taking your steer, I'm off to explore them all starting with Battlefield V (BFV)!
    This video is my first week of gameplay giving honest first impressions as to how the game stacks up in 2024, with a particular focus on Tank and Assault Class gameplay. I also had a dabble trying my hand at flying which is an absolute treat -- so good it's almost cinematic! I had an absolute blast, this game is very much alive and there's a lot here the next BF title should consider incorporating.
    Now the BF2042 is in its end of life, it's the perfect time to go exploring the franchise. If you have any suggestions, please do let me know!

    Fun fact: there is a mid' armour - round used material (*consideration) system built in BFV, say some vehicles were built in some capacity out of wood pieces... well, there are some huge metal rounds that can go through it; once my brother got hit by the round of a Tiger while driving the Puma and the round just went in and out through the tank; the same can be seen with some US boats, the Mosquito Bomber... And if hitting a Sherman by the back in a Tiger at the right spot, you can one shoot it; although balance-wise isn't ideal, at least it's somewhat realistic... (I guess)

    • @timelessgamer_UK
      @timelessgamer_UK  Před měsícem +1

      I absolutely have to test this - sounds brilliant. I know about the mosquito as that’s the aircraft my grandfather flew. Hurricanes were near exclusively made of wood too, though I’ve not seen them in the game (which is odd given how important they were).

    Awesome video as always man. I'm glad you are doing this world tour of BF games. When you first told me that 2042 was your first, I was genuinely surprised!
    I think playing these older games shines some light onto why some people really dislike 2042, because you can see the quality of the game is not the same. Look at the maps for example, as you said, some of these maps are absolutely breath taking and full of detail. Hopefully the next BF game has some of this spirit! 🤞

    • @timelessgamer_UK

      It’s a quality game, I’m really impressed. Completely hand on heart true, I was a CoD guy until I’d finally had enough & took the leap with 2042. This game has really made me believe that without COVID, and whatever the hell happened with the launch of 2042, this series can be incredible.
      My sincere wish between us chatting guys is that the BF influencers who actually have clout can stop complaining about BF2042 and shift their focus to constructive comments about the future. I’m really sick of hearing people put the boot in (ffs say something new and stop showing Mackay gameplay every damn video). Be useful - if it were you, what mechanics / features would you include? Should tank fights be arcade or realistic? Fast paced or slow? What era works best? Say something useful Dice can actually use - not this petty sniping at others. Yes, I am talking about Enders 😅

    My man, you have just scratched the surface of BFV tanks, the pinnacle of DICE’s tank warfare. Play some more and unlock the tank tech trees like HEAT-T alt ammo for Tiger, or Flamethrower for Sherman. Trust me, BF2042 tanks play is no comparison at all.

      I also like the approach of going back in time instead of starting at something like BC2 (before they switched off servers recently)or Hardline/BF3)

      @timelessgamer_UK  Před měsícem +2

      It’s good to get this education, there’s much I liked about 2042 but after seeing this I’m certainly a little confused why so many good ideas were removed. But I’m also seeing how people don’t agree on what the next BF should be, just read the comments here. Some love the tank gameplay & reload mechanic, others don’t.
      I really wish someone with a platform could start to pull us all together and help Dice get a real sense of community feedback. I’m sick of people like Enders going on about the same thing over and over, yes it had its time and place to hold Dice to account on 2042 but it’s over now, the game is in end life and we need to think about the future. What made BF great, and which way should we go?

      @@timelessgamer_UK There are three kinds of shells most tanks have in BFV, your default cannon, AP, and HEAT. There’s also the squash head shells that the Churchill Gun Carrier and the Churchill heavy tank can use, but that round is exclusive to those two tanks. AP gives you higher damage against armor, less bullet drop/higher velocity and better capabilities against planes. The cost is practically zero splash damage and those shells are much more prone to ricochet. HEAT shells are the most devastating shells in the game, dealing the most damage while still retaining anti-infantry capabilities. They also don’t ricochet like the AP rounds do, which is probably their greatest boon over AP rounds. The cost is they have more bullet drop/ less velocity than even the default cannon and AP rounds. The squash head rounds are unique in the fact that they explode after impact, with a slight delay. These shells simply don’t ricochet 99% of the time and they’re the most consistent tank shell in the game. In exchange for consistency they don’t deal bonus damage if you hit a tanks weak point and are of little use against infantry targets.
      No one tank is the same. The Sherman and Panzer 4, while similar on paper, are practically unique from each other and both can also be run in different ways. Both can be run as infantry slaying monsters, or armor hunters. Depending on what you run even changes the way your tank will look visually. Have fun and looking forward to the future of your channel!

    @thebigsam Před měsícem +2

    As somebody, who played prev Battlefield games
    1. Attrition (limited ammo on every single weapon) is annoying and at times unfair. Tanks are meant to push objectives, find flanks, counter other vehicles. When they lack mobility and have limited ammo pull, it makes players far more passive, completely destroying any push you might try. Does it make you think more tactically? Maybe, but it also makes you feel like a giant slow moving coffin made for camping.
    2. Forced animations take control away from the player. You might like the atmosphere, but there are people like me who hate the idea that you are defenseless while performing them. You can at times see the enemy during those animations and be completely unable to do anything about it.
    3. Additional spawn points are cool, but adding vehicles to the pool for capturing flags was a thing for the longest time in the series. It sounds good on paper, but what it does is enables better teams to snowball the other team. There are maps in the series, where you can lose 1 obj with mobile AA and that makes you completely defenseless against air vehicles. Better players should win, sure, but not because they can make the other team feel miserable for the next 15 minutes by spawn camping them while the other team doesn't have vehicles to breakthrough

    • @timelessgamer_UK
      @timelessgamer_UK  Před měsícem +2

      All completely fair points, and I've only started playing so I'm not making any definitive statements, but here's how I'm seeing it today:
      1) The limited ammo issue definitely makes me think tactically, but it never made me think as a Camper. Some may not like this, but I don't plan on keeping my tank alive beyond the single use I had in mind for it (say capture point C). I just asked myself whether I had a realistic prospect of getting the cap or defeating an opposing tank. I do also like that it stops spawn trapping, as you'll inevitably run out of ammo & repairs. In my matches, tanks have been at the heart of pushes, often making the difference. It's just not in my DNA to sit on a back line!
      2) Perhaps I'll grow to be frustrated with them but for the moment I love the animations. It makes the decision to rez someone more impactful too, as you need to put something on the line vs going prone and jabbing in the foot or Falck Defibrillator of God healing 5-6 people in an instant. For the moment, I'm in love :D
      3) The spawn points, I'm enjoying the strategy of picking where to attack. That said I do see and have seen your point, that it reinforces the advantage for the winning team (turning a beating into an absolute drubbing). But again the counter argument? That's our good play for seizing the airfield -- let them take it back! I definitely prefer it to parachuting in a tank onto a roof!
      Thanks for the detailed assessment!

      @thebigsam Před měsícem

      @@timelessgamer_UK 1) Good for you! Less experienced players don't act like that tho. They see limited resources, they feel the slow nature of the vehicle, and they start camping the ammo depots. You haven't encountered it, because BFV is 6 years old already. Core playerbase now consists of mostly good players.
      2) Again, good for you! It's all a matter of preference. I am just pointing out how BF community is very divided about topic like that. Or at least was, when BFV came out.
      3) That's good and all, but your "good play" might have just ruined the entire match for the other team. Imo it should never work like that. Any team should have options to come back, not by free handouts, but from having maps and mechanics designed to enable balanced matches. Introducing new vehicles through obj capturing like that is a very risky move that ruined countless matches in the series.
      No, thank YOU! I am glad to see you pick up the series and I am here to see you slowly lose your mind over how each game will differ from the other

    You were lucky on that 2nd tank engagement on Prvovance map ( as I recall). Cause you were up against a heavy Tiger or Panzer IV tank. In BF5 you can not fight against toe to toe with heavy tank. You have to take equally heavy tank or upgrade your cannon and shell load and armour also. Really there is so much depth in BF5 vehicle gameplay it's mind blowing. My prediction was right, I told you that you gonna love BF5 plane and Tanks and here you are. 😃

You can call drop crocodile tank( fire breather) on British side, actually each faction has its own unique squad call vehicle drops, best one on Japan faction. Trust me this tanks can turn the tide of whole match. Oh once you gathered enough points to call support drops you have to redeploy, otherwise your squad mates will stole those tanks. 😁

    When BFV launched most of us were really disappointed. It might be difficult to see if you haven't played any of the previous games. TTK and TTD were a mess and so were a lot of the weapon balance in true DICE fashion. Everything was just a downgrade from BF1. My first Battlefield was Bad Company 2. I especially loved the Vietnam expansion. Having said all that, I glad you're having fun in this game. Not knowing how things were before can somethings be a bliss. I did enjoy the video. Cheers.

      As they say, history repeats! 2042 was getting into really good shape, sure it lacked the passion & detail that I now know BFV does, but it was still coming up as the best offering out there. It’s a shame the plug was pulled on both before their times. That said, BFV has made me believe that without Covid disruption and an emphasis on sound technical build, the next BF could be amazing. Fingers crossed!

      I don’t know what state the game was in when it launched, but to talk smack about this game if it’s anything like what I’m seeing - in 2017 - is very harsh. It’s 2024 and I’m playing it happily today as it stands.
      This little world tour of mine has only just started and I can already see the community feels passionately about “their” battlefield, whichever one that was for them. Honestly I feel positively towards 2042 once we cleared season 1 and the devs really started to turn the ship around (it was a long process I’m not delusional!). I definitely prefer a modern setting. The mistakes of 2042 were obvious and let’s put them to one side - in terms of what’s next and how to structure the game - Dice have a real problem on their hands here. Nobody seems to agree what is “great”. Just read the comments section on this vid about tank play after 24h and only a few hundred views. Which way do you go? Arcade or realistic?

      Been playing BF1 for a week now, and whilst the atmosphere / visuals are superb & it has some fun elements, I have to say I don't find it a very good game compared to BFV and BF2042. Huge weapon & map imbalances (single shot rifles are FAR too powerful, gameplay mechanics encourage camping and the maps whilst pretty, many of them are actually pretty poorly designed). Also find the vehicles & assault play underwhelming compared to BFV and 2042. Absolutely epic for 2016 and if you've nostalgia I can see why people would love it, but coming in cold? Not great (just my opinion!).

    My favorite game ruined by hackers :( I'll re-install and see if anything has changed since they implemented that anti-cheat, though I've seen comments saying it's all the same. Thanks for sharing those vehicle tips, I only play as infantry so it was good to discover something new. In my experience, the most powerful weapon against ground vehicles is AT mine - if you know where to plant them (you can plant up to 6 mines compared to 3 in 2042). As for the AA guns, Fliegerfaust is #1 imo - it's even more effective than those ground AA guns: you can take down a plane in one shot once you get a hang of it, it's totally much easier to use compared to Bazuka hahha
    What I absolutely love about this particular BF is the ability to destroy buildings (and rats camping inside them) and build fortifications. Playing as engineer, you can also build artillery and AA guns in certain spots - very useful ability in modes like Breakthrough. Something I wish 2042 had :(

    • @timelessgamer_UK
      @timelessgamer_UK  Před měsícem +1

      I didn’t know about building AA emplacements… I need to look into that. I knew I could make fortifications etc but seems there’s more.
      So the hacker situation- honest take. They’re there for sure, but honest lobbies in Asia fill up fast and equally dishonest ones empty. Get into a 62 / 63 out of 64 and stay there for dear life, and you’ll be fine for the evening. Totally serious comment, BF2042 is worse for hackers in Asia these days.
      I still have loads to learn about BFV but I’ll keep going, and the odd tough experience with a hacker to me is worth paying (though obviously I wish we didn’t have to).

    Probably check this out when BF2042 is officially dead. I just learned how to use Zain's airburst & fast health regen and also how to use Irish's portable wall shield. Now im starting to learn Liz's tv missile. 2042 is actually fun when you take off the hate goggles and learn the new unique stuff that was added to the BF franchise. Man, they could've made a badass single player campaign w/ all of these specialist abilities and gadgets.

    • @timelessgamer_UK
      @timelessgamer_UK  Před 29 dny +2

      2042 is a really solid game now, and I think the specialists can be a lot of fun once you stop hearing the awful voice lines and just enjoy their gadgets. I’m glad to hear you’re working your way through it all. I never did get Zain, I should revisit him. My main take away from BFV was the amazing detail, and I’m really optimistic having seen it that a studio bit bogged down by Covid & other issues has the potential to deliver an absolutely beast of a game. Here’s hoping!

    Im just getting into bfV, I didn't like the release of it watching video's etc, at the time I didn't have a good PC so couldn't play it anyways. After building my pc in 2020 and playing bf1 and the other BF games i got this for free 2 years ago and just now decided to give it a shot.
    Im a ww2 history fan so it feels weird, its ww2 but feels fantasy WW2, other then the Pacific maps. I do find it to be a bit challenging to get kills etc, but im getting the hang of sniping.
    Being used to bf1, bf4 and 2042, I find bfV a lot different. Definitely will be continuing despite being a weird ww2 feeling, and wanting battle of the bulge and market garden, and Russian front. I just feel there's so much lost potential with this game

    • @timelessgamer_UK
      @timelessgamer_UK  Před měsícem

      I’m glad you’re giving it a shot - I also found aspects of the game tricky having come in from 2042 but I’m now finding it rewarding / technically quite deep. Tank gameplay especially - driving or fighting them - requires a lot more thought before engaging vs 2042 where the risks were completely different. Being an Engineer (Assault) is a lot more rewarding for sure in BFV.
      As to the historical elements yeah like yourself I’ve an appreciation of the major operations of the war, there’s entire fronts omitted etc.. Russia not being a faction is an interesting call given they were about as significant as it gets in the conflict. The fantasy element, well I guess that’s the price of a video game. I must say I think they did a good job on the maps to capture the feel of the theatre in question. For me I can’t believe there isn’t an air superiority mode built around the Battle of Britain or defending English cities from the blitzkrieg, that would have been immense. But on the whole, I’ve really enjoyed it. There’s elements I like about 2042 but BFV has really captured my attention. Sad I missed it, though was otherwise engaged with our then newborn & trying to buy our house!
      I prefer the modern setting, but this was absolutely brilliant. I hope lessons can be carried over

      I’m in Asia and the BFV servers are absolutely packed in the evenings after work. My local region Singapore has at least 6-7 rooms full up, and there’s loads in Japan. With 2042, it can be a struggle outside of peak hours to fill a 128 but 64 is never an issue. I’d say between 9pm and 11pm 128 matches are not hard to find, but after that when ppl with work the next day start going to bed, it becomes a lot harder.
