cbrigante2 posted : Yeah it's totally what your play style is. I've got both and enjoy them. BFV is easier to just pick up and play at a moment's notice. I've got about 60 hours so far in BFV. Probably about the same in RDR2. I suspect I'll be well over 400 in each before I'm finished.

Depends on what style game you're looking to play. RDR2 is more story driven. It's a slower paced game. Excellent. BFV has story but is really what I would consider your MP shooter. If you just want to shoot stuff...BFV. If you want to "play" a western movie...RDR2

Hit the nail on the head.

I think, as far as content stuffed into a game, story, map size and things to do, RDR2 is the better 60 dollar option. But then again they're totally different games.

If it were me and BF5 was a shooter based in modern times (WW2 shooters ain't my thing) I'd still choose RDR2 over it. Simply because I look at bang for my buck. And boy do you get it with RDR2.

Surprisingly, the battle royale mode, called “Firestorm,” will be launching with the third chapter, “Trial by Fire” in March."

Support class is useless. Just be assault. Suppression is useless. Armor is useless.

Medic guns suck.

Single shot rifles and pistols are more powerful than a nuclear bomb.

Aimbots are all over the place. 100-0s etc

Single player is entirely broken. Clipping is rampant. Graphics stutters.

Like Nightfall I also had over a 150 hours on BF4 (and still play from time to time). I skipped BF1 due to my experience with the beta. It just didn't have a good feel to me. Anyway, I am liking what I've seen so far with BFV. I'm not playing it as a historical representation of WWII, but as a FPS set in the WWII era. I guess time will tell if it holds my interest.

Nightfall posted : I have been playing the last week or so thanks to Origin Premiere and I really do like this game. I thought I would take a little time to breakout just some tidbits of things I enjoy.

In previous Battlefield titles, anyone could spot enemy players. This would make finding targets on the battlefield easy. Now, any class can spot specific areas, but the target reticle doesn't follow them around. If you want everyone to have full view of moving targets, that is where the scout comes into play. I have enjoyed coming in as a scout, opening up my binoculars, and watching targets run around like chickens with their heads cut off. This is because anyone I am looking at through the binoculars are lit up for all soldiers on my side to see. I don't get kills, but I do get spot assists. I think that is why many scouts don't do this because they don't get a lot of kills by doing it. There was one match we won where I finished with 0 kills and 10 deaths, but I had over 10k points just from spotting targets for my teammates. I think more and more organized teams are going to have dedicated spotters down the road.

The fortification system is also a nice turn on things. As a support, I can build fortifications around an area 2x as fast as other classes. When you take a point, if you fortify the heck out of it, it is less likely to fall to enemy control as easily. Not a lot of people spend time doing this though because building fortifications doesn't get you a lot of points, or kills for that matter.

The game itself really does promote teamwork. If you have a tight knit group of players, then you can do some serious damage. When I run around with a group, I love the medic because reviving players is so fast.

Finally, no pay to win. You can get some different scopes and paintjobs for your guns, but as I expected, you don't get as many as you do with modern weapons which makes sense. I don't expect laser scopes in WW2.

Overall, I like this game a heck of a lot better than Battlefield 1. I don't know if I will get over 250 hours in this game though like I did in BF4. We will see. First major patch drops today.

I will have to do a bit of research on the weapons to see how prevalent they were in WWII and if the guns description is accurate.

I hope so too. We shall see how the next Beta looks. There are a lot of features, maps, and game modes that we have yet to try out.

It's the norm for a beta that not all maps or game modes are available. I think everyone already knows that. However, features? I've don't think I've ever seen additional "features" in a finished BF product that weren't shown in a beta. Unless of course you're talking about loot boxes or the micro-trans store.

Its common for some features to not be included in the beta. For instance, you can't drag teammates bodies to safety in the beta, but this is going to be included at release. There are other features that are not included, and you can find people on various forums talking about them. I also think back to BF4 and not every gun or every unlock was included either. I can also assume since they released more guns in the last open beta that more guns will be available in future betas the full release of BF5.

Here is a link to the full patch notes where they talk about changes, as well as what they are going to add to the beta in the future. As you can clearly see, the alpha to beta transition added a bunch of new weapons and features to the game that weren't available before. This list will grow in the next beta.

According to the list, they are also adding airplane resupply stations, limb penetration, and debris killing recognition, just to name a few things.

»forums.battlefield.com/e ··· te-notes

To say though that the beta includes every feature is not accurate if you have been playing beta Battlefield games in the past.

Krisnatharok posted : Not knowing any particulars about the BF 5 beta, if I were interested in buying this game (I'm not), I usually wait 4-6 weeks after the gamebreaking bugs that always accompany a BF game get fixed.

Waiting 3-6 months is usually a better option in terms of gameplay experience. I've not been a fan of the direction the BF games have gone since BF4, so I will probably pass unless I have seriously misjudged this iteration.
