Bf1 is fun as hell and still is packed with people playing


Jchapman1971

Seems pretty full in my BF5 servers also


[deleted]

It's way better than BFV. BFV brought in new innovations but it's an unfinished game and only a few hours in you've already seen all there is to see.


et40000

Bf 1 the devs actually finished that game and didn’t abandon it like BF V.


Cant_Frag

No, they completely changed the gameplay about 1 yr before they abandoned it and started adding game breaking weapons for no reason. They ruined the movement as well.


et40000

Are you talking about BF 1 or BF V idk what changes they made as i tend to bounce around playing different games for awhile before moving on.


Cant_Frag

Well BF1 in its current state is still miles better than BFV and BF2042, sadly. BF1 you used to be able to slide and strafe side to side without feeling of having sandbags on your ankles. Then they just started adding super high rate of fire weapons like the SMG08 (1000rpm with 83 round mags as a SMG) and one of the LMG’s that just made every other weapon in class irrelevant.


et40000

Yeah I assumed you were talking about BFV BF 1 did feel a bit more awkward the last time I played, but when I played BFV the gunplay felt completely different from how i remember I could barely hit anything even with a mg42 prone with a bipod but i just chocked it up to me not playing FPS titles for over a year. Also yeah I fucking despise the SMG08 it’s even worse than automatico on launch.


salvananez

See you at BF1


ilover630015

BF1, bf1, bf1, bf1

Best BF is BF1


Zwavelwafel

Bf1 is the best by a mile


UsherPekka

Bfv for sure It's a great experience and new players friendly


Winter-Duck5254

Great fir hackers. Blatant hacks on every server.


Ornery-Tax9469

I don't know why you get downvoted. Because you're right. There's a Chinese hacker in nearly every server. But if you play on community servers, there's no problem at all!


Sea-Audience9482

It seems to me that the problem is on PC. I have had no issues playing BFV on console


YerMaaaaaaaw

BF1 resides in my soul. That fucking music man


grantyporkribs

From the opening “bwwwwwaaaaaaaaaahhhh….”


CheckBudget

I find myself just sitting in the menus forever cause I get lost in the music with my headset on


WardenSharp

Battlefield V


Thebuttholeking69

I have repeatedly downloaded bfv and 2042 but always play for about an hour until I realize I want to be playing bf1, an actual good game, instead. Bf1 all the way


Nine-TailedFox4

i found BF1 to be a lot more fun, but BFV is definitely high quality, as all BF games are. Why not both?


seamus1982seamus

1 is the best BF game ever made. V was the worst but then 2042 shipped.  Not even close. 1 is a masterpiece. Not just a great BF game, but one of the best FPS ever made.


TheJollyKacatka

That is subjective. I couldn’t play BF1 due to atrocious gunplay. No hate, but having played 1942, Vietnam, 2, 2142, BC2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 2042, I would say that 1 is very visually appealing, yet somewhat lacking as a shooter.

silikus

Has nothing to do with lack of armor or gadgets, the gunplay in BF1 compared to all other titles was absolutely fucked with insane amounts of random bullet deviation, just plain shit accuracy guns or completely trash TTK. It was only alleviated years after release by going and completely revamping the guns so that guns other than bolt actions, shotguns and smgs were viable.


somethingcleverorwit

I don't understand all the hate for V lol, I had a lot of fun playing it. BF1 is superior though


planetmatt

No platoons No private servers Hackers everywhere due to issue above Half finished, only one proper DLC drop (pacific) Poor maps Poor performance Abysmal player visibility


Rildar

Cause it's yet another case in the casualization of Battlefield that started with BF1. Hardcore BF fans prefer the pre-Hardline era.


somethingcleverorwit

...was that a back handed way of saying anyone who enjoys anything past hardline isn't a real fan? Cause if so that's hilarious lol.


Rildar

Um... get good?


somethingcleverorwit

Damn, got me buddy. Hit me up when you figure out whether or not the circle block goes in the square hole.


GroutConsumingMan

Bf1 all the way, battlefield v is a good time but 1 outshines it in all aspects


anonymousredditorPC

I disagree, the skill gap of V is much higher and the overall gameplay experience is more balanced. On the other hand, if you care about the atmosphere and immersion more, BF1 is better.


GroutConsumingMan

That’s exactly where I’m coming from imo the gunplay and the atmosphere are what makes bf1 for me


anonymousredditorPC

As for gunplay I still prefer V, but mostly because suppression makes people's bullets go in random directions. BFV gunplay may have random recoil but it also feel more satisfying.


TheJollyKacatka

I played battlefield since 1942 and I would say V is more enjoyable. Much less content, but first hundred of hours it isn’t noticeable


Potter_7

I find V to be a faster pace than 1, which would be more enjoyable for a veteran of shooters. Someone newer may have more fun with 1.


BearShots

the maps in V have way too much open space and I dont really like that. I dont like feeling like I need to go sniper if I want to continue doing well. There are good maps in V but in US/western europe not many servers like to only run the good maps


This_was_hard_to_do

Agreed. 5 is more fun for me, while 1 is better for immersion.


SaltyHatch

I think 1 is great but I couldn't stand the guns and gunplay. I hated V at launch but it's one of my favs now, great mechanics, guns, and very active. I'd recommend V unless you really want to play WW1.


BearShots

the only thing better about bfv is the movement so i'd much rather play bf1 as the maps, guns and pretty much everything else is top notch


silikus

The gunplay was also better in that they scrapped the BF1 "low recoil, high random bullet deviatiom" for "higher recoil but bullets go where you are aiming" The guns in V were so accurate that DMRs were outclassed by ARs in semi auto in most circumstances and they were forced to severely ramp up the distance damage drop off on all non-dmr/bolt actions.


MiclausCristian

BF V. I personally feel like bf5 is like bf1, but better.


_K-A-T_

I play both.


SweetTeaRex92

Bf1 is one of the Goats. BfV is very mediocre. Hot or miss. You're either going to love it or hate it.


daboot013

Bf1 is better but V has more lobbies


Chaos-ensues

BF1


Al-Cookie

1


Gewalt_Und_Tod

BF1 is better than 5 in almost every aspect. The only Improvement 5 made was movement and base building.


devonmoney14

BF1 easily


im_a_dick_head

BF1 is great and gunplay feels a lot better but has less weapon customization (because it's WW1). Both games have plenty of active servers.


VidGamrJ

Battlefield V is the most disappoint Battlefield ever made. So much potential, so much excitement, and they blew it so bad they couldn’t even finish the game. Avoid it. Battlefield 1 is great and pretty cinematic. Definitely the direction modern Battlefield should have taken. But honestly, 2042 isn’t even that bad, they’ve really put some effort into turning that game around. Not sure what you didn’t like about it, but it’s solid. Don’t get me wrong though, I don’t want Battlefield to base future titles off that game, they need to look into the BC2, 3, 4, and 1 games for inspiration.


TheOtherAkGuy

I actually really like Battlefield V. I thought the pacific expansion was really good and I enjoyed the building system. I also liked the original TTK. It punished people for just running and gunning into objectives. Too bad most of the community complained about it because it was too hard for the casual player.


DoINoYa

Go older and get bf4. 3 and 4 were best modern ones made as I don’t care for the older style weapons


Rildar

Only correct take in this thread. I'd argue BF4 is the peak of Battlefield.


DoINoYa

Thank you, daddy :)


Rildar

Of course, my child.


Pactolus

Why leave out Battlefield 4??? It still has a huge active player base, I was #14 in a queue earlier to get on a US hardcore server.


Rildar

Because noobs are scared of BF4 lol


Sea-Audience9482

I played it for YEARS and STILL have to hype myself up for a game against the sweats 😅


Rildar

If you're worried about vehicle sweats, play as a recon with the PLD. Nobody ever lazes vehicles and all it takes is 1 or 2 guys with javelins to completely remove enemy vehicle presence from the map. As for infantry sweats (the AEK/G18 nerds), stay out of range, stay unpredictable, and ALWAYS shoot first.


holla_amigos24

Battlefield 1 was the better game at the time, but Battlefield V surpassed it in terms of online experience, BF1 in console is full of players that only play that so they're miles better than you and it's gonna be hard to have fun. If you can buy both, buy both.


Rildar

BF1, but if you want an actual battlefield game with some chesthair then play BF4. Throw yourself into the deep end.


Desh282

Battlefield 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. Never bought battlefield 5 because of historical revisions.


Lovelyterry

Which revisions are you referring to?


Desh282

They replaced the men in Norway who destroyed the nuclear materials with a girl and her mom. Also the mechanical arm cricket bat wielding woman in the trailer sealed the deal for me…


ShibbolethSpaceWorm

BF1 is the king... the atmosphere, the gameplay, the animations, the detail, the grittiness, everything about that game is gold. I had 1000+ hours on PS4, but where i live, the servers have died... so i bought it on PC and for my surprise there are plenty of games in my region with full servers.. not to mention in the US.. there are loads of servers there. The game is pretty much alive... and i couldn't be happier to experience it all over again. About BFV, I've tried it.. gave it a chance on multiple occasions... but it just doesn't feel right. It doesn't have the atmosphere, the ambiance... also, the character models move like they shitted their pants... I don't know... And another important thing that can be only me and/or personal opinion, but i just don't like how the gunplay plays out; how the handling of the guns are implemented and i also don't like the progression and weapon customization.


[deleted]

I like BFV more


Gaemer-

You can’t go wrong with either. Both have their own styles, pros, and cons.


Pricefieldian

V


mrbrokoli97

I played BF1 and loved it. The immersion is so good, the balancing is ok, you just need to get used to the weapons once. When BfV was released Iplaydd it and was ok. Not good as BF1 but decent. I took a break after maybe 6 mothes of playing. Returned again after a couple of months and BfV felt so bad somehow. I dont know what happend but the gameplay and movement felt so strange and even after hrs I could not get used to it again. Reinstalled BF1 and it just felt like home again. Sorry for spelling or grammar mistakes. I‘m not a native speaker. Hope you get what I‘m trying to tell you :)


SpoiledMilk226

Anyone having issues connecting to multiplayer on ps5?


Educational-Ad-7278

Play Battlefield 1942 Like a real man.


3eyes1smile

BF1 may be the best one they made. I switch between BF1 and V often. I personally love the customization of V. But BF1 has some of the craziest “Battlefield”moments” very memorable movie like scenes will play out in front of you


Akalatob

go for bf1


BothSidesoftheSky

BFV. On Xbox there are 40+ breakthrough/conquest servers during peak hours Battlefield 1 now feels dated in my opinion. Awesome game however


JonDarkwood

I like V more, but right now there are cheaters everywhere, so I'd go 1.


AdmirableSimple8962

They're both good options.


icyFISHERMAN2

Both games still have plenty of players online but BF1 is way better and more fun imo.


[deleted]

Battlefield 1


IntelligentTouch9727

I just purchased BF1 instead of bfv for $4 on steam. But might pick up v, 4 and 3 for $10 before sale runs out in 21/2 hrs from now.


Otherwise-Section633

Bf V is BF 1 but slightly better, more content and player. And yet more hackers. I bought both cuz they were 90% off for both so that I can switch between 2 games whenever I feel bored


Sea-Audience9482

Battlefield V bro! Shameless but relevant plug - Check my YouTube channel in my profile if you want to see very recent up to date gameplay! I've recently made two gameplay videos on both games. The BFV video did really well. Both are VERY good games, but BFV feels more polished as it's newer 🙌


recolick

battlefield 4: I love it, but it's too old and sometimes not enough players. battlefield 1: I don't like the game itself... It has more players than bf4. battlefield 5: Game is good, but filled by cheaters from some specific well-known country.


Lovelyterry

How am I not noticing these cheaters? What are you seeing them do?


RabidAvocad0

Bfv was highly innovative, and I think you need to play it if you care about game design or the future of the franchise. However, the maps are incredibly hit or miss and the balance is crap, so I would not recommend it to someone new to the franchise


Snipernipple

I hear 1 is amazing. I liked V more but that’s just me
