Invade the most iconic battlefields of the Pacific theater as U.S. and Japanese forces enter the fray in Battlefield V’s War in the Pacific. Available as a free update to Battlefield V on October 31.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
Probably a year too late on adding the US and Japanese sides as playing on Wake Island for the 4th or however many times they keep adding it back into the games is not enough to get me to want to bother with this game again.
Thanks to the new Star Wars trailer I finally decided to give Battlefront II Co-op a try last night as I got it during the summer for $5 but never got around to actually playing it before and that was a lot more fun and rewarding feeling then BF V plus the missions didn't really just drag on like they seem to do in BF V online.
reminder that previous battlefield games 1 year after launch had at least 10 new maps....how many does this have? 3-4? thats live service for you...
You also forgot that they keep removing game modes in this one trying to funnel people into certain modes to actually get full teams because barely anyone is playing the game.
yeah lol, frontlines, domination and rush. now they bring them back as a limited time event? what a joke. and what about the br mode? like it dosent even exists..
Them removing modes doesn't bother me - if anything, it pisses me off that they wasted so much development time over the years introducing those modes - time that could have been better spent making more/larger maps for 64 player Conquest.
Has there been any info yet with regards to how many maps are releasing for the Pacific theater? Are they doing unique US/Jap loadouts/vehicles, or are they just going to reskin the BF-109 to a Japanese Zero, copy paste the stats, and call it a day?

Deploy with New Weapons
In Chapter 5, you’ll wield classic WW2 firearms, katanas, and anything in between. Yes, you’ll be able to enjoy the distinctive eighth-round “ping” from an M1 Garand when the Chapter launches, along with three other main weapons.
The first of these is the Type 99 Arisaka. Available for the Recon class, this weapon is based on one of the strongest military bolt-action rifles ever manufactured. Medic class players will be able to deploy with the Type 100, a Japanese SMG, which will come in handy in close quarters thanks to its rate of fire and control. Finally, there’s the powerful M1919A6, a medium machine gun for the Support class. Use this belt-fed beauty to suppress enemies from medium to long distances and, as with all Battlefield V main weapons, unlock and choose the right Specializations to make it fit your playstyle.
As the Tides of War continue, Chapter 5 will bring the M3 Grease Gun, Nambu Type 2A, Type 97 LMG, and M1918 A2, too. Handed out as a Chapter Reward, the Jungle Carbine can be added to your arsenal, too – the same goes for the Type 94 and the Model 27 sidearms. Finally, Tides of War will expand the Assault class’s arsenal with an explosive gadget: the tank-busting Lunge Mine.

Two New Battle Pickups
The previously mentioned katana is a Battle Pickup, meaning it needs to be found on the battlefield to be equipped. Both factions can use this time-honored melee weapon when the action gets close and personal. Chapter 5’s other Battle Pickup is the M2 Flamethrower, and its man-portable backpack design will make you highly effective against groups of enemy infantry.

Pilot Iconic Vehicles
The legendary M4 Sherman is a medium tank for the U.S. side with sturdy armor and decent speed. Use the main cannons, machine guns, and sheer massiveness of this steel beast to support your team and win the objective. The Japanese equivalent is the Type 97, a tank with similar characteristics. Man its 57mm main tank gun (or higher-caliber cannons if you've unlocked the Specializations!) to take care of the invading forces and wisely use smoke and repairs to survive.
Immense firepower is one thing. But getting from A to B is crucial to PTFO, too. The agile LVT and Ka-Mi Light Amphibious Tanks take you across both land and sea, granting many new strategic options for securing your objectives. The Dinghy is another fast (but more vulnerable) way to get across water. When you need quick access to the action – or a hasty escape – jump into the MB Jeep or the Type 95 car.
Want to rule the sky? Your U.S. Company will be able to pilot the F4U Corsair, which comes in both a Fighter and Bomber variant. Pacific air space will also be occupied by the Japanese Zero Fighter, which comes in the same two variants.
Unlock and choose Specializations to make your vehicles even more efficient and fitting for your play style. With Chapter 5, we've added even more branches to the Specialization trees of the new land and air vehicles, giving you more variety.

Call in Mighty Reinforcements
As for Reinforcements, the U.S. side can unleash the Sherman Calliope, a Rocket Barrage Tank bringing devastation to enemy infantry and vehicles. The Americans will see Reinforcement favorites return, too, like the JB-2 Rocket, Supply Drop, Smoke Barrage, and Sector Artillery. If you deploy as a Japanese soldier, your squad can access the same pre-existing Reinforcements, with the KI-147 I-Go rocket being the JB-2 equivalent – along with a Rocket Barrage Tank similar to the Sherman Calliope.
Only 2 sets of main weapons for each class, 2 tanks, 2 planes, and 3 maps? That's pretty fucking weak.

Free or not, if you're going to bother making something don't half ass it. This was their chance to rekindle a dying player-base/series and they massively under delivered. I'd rather they have put a $20 price tag on it and released 5-6 maps with fully fleshed out faction/weapons/vehicles than this piddly shit.

While I was playing / testing the game some time ago, while playing available maps and mods, it was clear that the game was fundamentally broken (one can read: "NOT that Battlefield the fans wanted").
We're talking COD style TTK/TTD, small maps, hard to see players / enemies, hits not registering or sudden-deaths with no damage feed-back and so on. Not gonna mention that the WWII vibe was absolutely missing...
I doubt that these 3 "new" maps will do wonders. I am gonna give it a try, though, since it's free to play for 4 days starting from Friday the 1st.

So a November 2021 release for the next BF game to cash in on all the new consoles. This break is needed as the last 2 games were pretty bad and bringing BFV to Steam probably will not even save that games small online community.
I don't know why I dared to hope that these new maps will change something... It's the same COD gameplay, "enhanced" by tall grass for enemies to hide and shoot from invisible positions, same instant deaths, same toxic community.
And that awesome trailer has NOTHING to do with how the overall experience is for these new maps. A "shocker", I know...
But they didn't convince me to buy it. It's still not the Battlefield I want. And I am sure they are very fine with it, since they were so relaxed about us not buying it if we don't like it... /winkwink
game is garbage, tried the trial now since this weekend the full game is unlocked and its garbage.
everything feels unfinished, lag, guns feel horrible, even graphics you can see where they cheaped out on some of the textures and animations, it looks bad vs bf1 which was very polished.
last i played it was the beta and 10h trial on release and the guns were different, had more kick and didnt sound like toys
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
