Put that down to another episode of epic mismanagement from EA, and take some pity on DICE, because the game it's crafted beneath all that chaos is frequently fantastic a shoring up of the Battlefield formula with a suite of new systems that can come together beautifully. Small wonder the sense of anticipation around this one has been particularly muted.
Such omissions and scarcity of features is all collateral from EA's move from its older business model towards free, regular updates, though Battlefield 5 feels so incomplete at launch as it veers away from the dreaded season pass at times it feels more like an Early Access title. The co-op mode that was announced at launch isn't coming until later as, for that matter, is one of the four single-player War Stories, another planned piece of post-release support. The inevitable Battle Royale mode - surely the perfect fit for DICE's own brand of chaos - isn't out until next March. Availability: You might need a guide for that.Īnd even when that particular mess is behind us, Battlefield 5 isn't where you might expect it to be.Or maybe a bit over a week, if you're an EA Access Premier subscriber. Or, if you'd rather not pay for the whole thing, it's been out for a week for EA Access subscribers. Or it's out today, if you're willing to pay a little bit more. Here's a game that's not out for paying punters until later this month.
It's the glitchiest, most technically troubled DICE's sandbox multiplayer has been since the infamous launch of Battlefield 4, and even the launch itself is all over the place. A strong if slim shooter that lays down strong foundations for the future, while feeling a little unfinished.īattlefield 5 is a mess.
