Battlefield V is a first-person shooter set during World War II. Its multiplayer features large-scale battles with infantry, vehicles, and aircraft across various theaters of the war, with modes including Grand Operations (multi-stage campaigns simulating wartime offensives) and Firestorm (a battle royale mode). The single-player component consists of episodic "War Stories" that follow different characters across lesser-known fronts of the conflict. The game emphasizes squad-based teamwork, player customization through a Company system, and resource scarcity. It is the successor to the World War I-themed Battlefield 1.
About the story
Battlefield V tells its stories through a series of standalone War Stories set across different fronts of World War II. In occupied Norway, a young woman named Solveig fights to rescue her mother Astrid, a resistance fighter captured while helping British commandos sabotage a German heavy water facility tied to nuclear research. In North Africa, a convicted bank robber named Billy Bridger is conscripted into the Special Boat Service alongside the stern George Mason, tasked with destroying German airfields behind enemy lines. In southern France, a young Senegalese soldier named Deme Cisse joins his older brother Idrissa as part of the colonial Tirailleurs sent to help liberate France, only to face discrimination from the very army they serve. A fourth story follows Peter Muller, a veteran German Tiger tank commander defending the city of Cologne in the war's final days, as his crew fractures under impossible orders to fight to the death while American forces close in around them.

Critic Reviews
Geeks Under Grace
By Thomas WhiteNearly two years after its initial release, Battlefield V is a solid first-person shooter with an enjoyable campaign that unfortunately continues to suffer from many fo the issues that tainted its launch.
Pixelophobia
By Łukasz AnkudoWar in the Pacific expansion is a breat of fresh air for Battlefield V. It introduces two new armies, plenty of new weapons and vehicles, but also new maps based in titular Pacific. It's a great move to make. It will be worth to wait for the expansion culmination in February 2020.
Pixel Arts
By Ashkan AlikhaniBattlefield 5, As we can Expect, is a Good first-person shooter but at launch, the Game suffers from not having enough content.
Metro GameCentral
By Metro GameCentralThe improvements, fixes, and additions since launch have made Battlefield 5 a much better game, but it's done nothing for the lack of originality.
PlayStation Galaxy
By Lexuzze TablanteBattlefield V is barebones on launch with some classic modes stretched within four months — which includes the all-new battle royale mode Firestorm. Even so, I still enjoyed my time on Grand Operations, scaring off a tank with a Panzerfaust and an anti-tank grenade, and jumping off from C-47s.
