Battlefield 5 — a first-person shooter in the popular Battlefield series. The events in the new installment unfold within the framework of World War II. The multiplayer modes represent a "sandbox" where you can influence the course of the battle with all actions. Because of all this, the battlefield will constantly change depending on the actions of the opposing sides.
The multiplayer first-person shooter Battlefield 5 develops the capabilities of the Battlefield series with new elements, but the main gameplay concept has not changed — within a given time, two teams of players eliminate each other until the points run out or the set task is completed.
The Frostbite engine has been improved, making Battlefield 5 not only set new graphical standards (especially explosions and snow) but also received an excellent environment destruction system. Almost all buildings on the map can be destroyed to the ground.
Single Player and Storyline
The campaign can be completed in the "War Stories" mode, consisting of several episodes. Their plot tells the stories of ordinary people who faced the horror of War. These are personal tragedies and victories, characters fight the enemy at the cost of incredible efforts and sacrifices. Several scenarios of passage, from stealth to action gameplay, give the player a very wide freedom of action.
One of the episodes takes place in the mountains of Norway, which fell under fascist occupation, and tells the story of a mother and daughter who, along with the resistance movement, destroy a factory whose products are used to create a nuclear bomb. Another "War Story" unfolds in the scorching sands of North Africa.
Battlefield 5 still has 4 classes (assault, scout, engineer, and medic), but a completely new squad mechanic rewards players if they stick together, don't split up, and don't separate. Bonuses are provided for joining a squad (without penalties for leaving), supporting allies with ammunition, medical supplies, and jointly destroying enemies and equipment.
Unlike other games in the series, now all classes can revive fallen comrades, not just the medic. However, the medic revives faster, restores health completely (other classes only halfway), and can also heal. The game has slow and incomplete regeneration, a shortage of ammunition, so you have to act together.
The main difference between Battlefield 5 and other games in the series is that the multiplayer modes are a "sandbox" where players influence the outcome of the battle with all actions — using stationary weapons, building fortifications, and repairing buildings as defensive points. The battlefield changes constantly, the situation develops dynamically.
In the multiplayer game, there is a wide variety of modes, both classic ("Domination," "Supremacy," "Frontline," "Team Deathmatch," "Capture the Flag") and new ones — for example, "Conquest" for 64 players has returned. More parameters can be set in the server settings than before.
The first of the new modes is "Grand Operations," which links different maps and modes, as well as story and cooperative playthroughs. If players performed poorly today, they will receive fewer resources and equipment the next day. В Airborne можно десантироваться прямо на поле боя с воздуха, но это не «королевская битва», а захват и оборона контрольных точек.
Кооперативный режим предлагает выполнить команде из 4 игроков миссии со случайно сгенерированными целями и задачами. Это крайне сложный режим для слаженных команд, причем каждый должен выжить иначе сложность вырастет дополнительно. За победу дают много опыта и экипировки.
В Battlefield 5 есть и полноценная «королевская битва» как один из режимов.
У Battlefield 5 классическая для серии прокачка — за каждое убийство игрок получает опыт и деньги, которые затем расходуются на открытие нового оружия, амуниции, снаряжения и транспортных средств. Игрок может задать экипировку каждого класса заранее, чтобы затем быстро между ними переключаться.
Устанавливаемые улучшения должны помочь найти подходящий стиль игры. Например, на автомат можно поставить штык-нож, а на танк — новые гусеницы или броню. Имеется система ежедневных заданий, выполнение коих позволит заработать дополнительные деньги.
- в Battlefield 5 нет премиума — все игроки получат одинаковые карты и режимы.
- на момент выхода в игре были только британская и немецкая фракции, других добавили позже;
- игра получила несколько дополнений: Tides of War. Миссии для синглплеера выходили поодиночке, вместе с релизом новых дополнений;
- огромное значение уделено кастомизации — можно создавать и изменять своих бойцов, вооружение и транспортные средства, а также улучшать их по мере накопления опыта.
