![]() It's the ones like Outpost, Airborne, and sometimes Rush that you might have to wait a while for a server to fill up. There's still enough people to quickly get into a game… for now.īut this really only applies to the more popular game modes like Breakthrough, Conquest, Domination, and Team Deathmatch. DICE seems more active/responsive on their boards, with polls, giveaways, contests, plus ample opportunity for players to provide direct feedback – but it still can't hide the overall displeasure.ħ. Doom-and-gloom, judging from the posts, is quite evident. There's still quite a bit of activity on these forums, but the general mood is more or less the same as on Reddit. ![]() The BF5 forums have over 27,000 discussions You've definitely still got your regular discussions, guides, pleas to DICE, and the like, but it's hard not to notice the dour mood.Ĩ. It's kind of sad, to be honest there's an air of disappointment and longing underneath all the memes. If you go on the BFV subreddit, you will encounter post, after post, after post by a frustrated and frankly defeated community. This is almost twice as much as Battlefield 4's, but the sentiments tell a much different story. The Battlefield V subreddit has 207,590 active members However, the community already held suspicions due to EA's reluctance to gloat about their sales numbers, a common tactic of theirs that was noticeably missed.ĩ. During an earnings call, EA lamented that their sales were just one million copies short of their projections. But despite the impressive numbers, publishing giant Electronic Arts was more than dissatisfied. Now most developers would be absolutely thrilled to know their game sold a million copies, let alone seven. As of February 2019, Battlefield V sold 7.3 million copies. Here we've listed the latest information we could find about player count and how active the community is.ġ0. While the game did have a sizable following at launch, it quickly fell apart once the player's realized just how under-baked Battlefield V was. It's evident to all that DICE's latest entry did not perform as everyone had hoped, whether it be because of the early lack of content, egregious monetization, or poor prioritization of features. The difference is they're not being hindered by poor marketing and bad YouTube review videos and rants.It's been almost two years since Battlefield V's launch, and the road to get here has been, in a word, rough. ![]() Look at previous titles in the franchise as a track record. In addition to that you have tons of new content that will eventually release with the game, so at some point I can only imagine it will be a pretty different experience from the game at launch. We can assume that they're going to fix these basic essentials eventually, hopefully and probably pretty early on. You fix the basic bugs and the game is instantly 'streets ahead' of where it is now. That means when they make some clickbaity title in all caps like "BFV IS DEAD!!!1!", the YouTubers themselves are helping to put the game into the ground. I guess because a lot of their viewers probably don't have the mental wherewithal to look at the bigger picture of the game with regards to EA/DICE's long term plans for the game. For some reason YouTubers proclaiming the game is dead so early in it's planned live service life really grinds my gears.
