Seeing as Battlefield 5 seems to be doing to WWII the same thing Battlefield 1 did to World War I (rewrite history to insert women and ethnic minorities into ahistorically prominent roles so the game fits in to the "inclusive"/"woke"/whatever foolishness that most of the entertainment media has been pushing the last few years, then fill in the rest of the game with over top "Inglorious Bastards"/Michael Bay type nonsense they think will attract the CoD:AW and GTA V crowds), I will pass. And before anybody says "Battlefield" has never been historically accurate, sure I understand that. But it used to present historically thematic gameplay, so that Battlefield 1942 could make you feel like you were playing a John Wayne movie, or that you were reenacting a firefight from Blackhawk Down in Battlefield 2. Now, the Battlefield games seem more interested in presenting their own alternate reality/fantasy version of historical conflicts. If, as the producers say, this trend of promoting women in combat in an anti-historical fashion, and generally fantasizing history, is here to stay, then my money will continue to stay out [of Battlefield].

I don't feel that way at all. I feel like the stories of women and minorities have for so long gone under-represented. This is a turn for the better, if at the very least it invokes curiosity, in those playing, to learn more about the many diverse and various roles woman took during times of conflict.

How many women were in the resistance fighting Nazi occupational forces in France that assisted in the landings?
How many women were spies working in north Africa passing information and setting the stage?

This is a turn for the better, if at the very least it invokes curiosity, in those playing, to learn more about the many diverse and various roles woman took during times of conflict. Actually, no, they have not been "underrepresented." As far as women in combat goes, they have been represented accurately by their absence. Women played virtually no role in the combat forces of any organized military of any nation or power in western history until the last decade or two. The handful of exceptions (such as women masquerading as men, or, more notably, a couple of Soviet female units) were notable for being curiosities. Pretending that women had any role in in the combat forces of the Western or Axis militaries (or any significant role in the Soviet forces) in World War II is pure politically-inspired fantasy. I guess, though, since most of the rest of the trailer is also pretty much Inglorious Bastards-style fantasy, I should not be that surprised. Like I said, if this is the direction EA is going with Battlefield, I have no interest.

My only problem with bfv so far is why is a disabled person fighting ?
I don't have a problem with that. Douglas Bader and Hans-Ulrich Rudel were both very successful as combat pilots. It seems to me that EA are trying to appeal to the SJW types. I was half expecting to see a tank in 'gay pride' colours.

If they wanted to do some sort of Elite Soldiers type of thing, there were other ways to do it. They could have done SAS, U.S Rangers, German SS Paratroopers. You could pick one of those in game and go to it. A woman? Okay....how about a French or Norwegian resistance fighter. And give her two arms and lose the Indian war paint, for Pete's sake. Geez. It's 1944 and she looks like a cyborg.

There were so many good mods for it too. Desert Combat was one I played a lot.
I lost interest with BF4,never owned BF One and will never purchase BF V. It's just a genre I grew out of. 1942 and BF2 were my heyday for MP gaming.

I got it at Christmas for 30 bucks, have only played online multiplayer a couple of times so far because all the servers are full most of the time. The campaign is fun, I'm playing the Tank mission now. It's pretty typical Battlefield, which I have played every single one since BF'42 (Desert Combat), Vietnam etc..It's not to bad on sale, I'll never pay $60 for a game ever again been burned a few times with that. One mode I'm looking for is Combined Arms which sounds like a squad co-op against AI enemy but we will have to wait and see if that is actually what it will be.

You should select quick match, you'll get matched pretty quickly (under 2 mins). Granted, you won't be able to select your map, but it's generally hopeless waiting for a server to empty, in order for you to join. You'd have to memorize the rotation and select the map prior to the one you want to play, in order to get a full round in, on the one you want.
I would suggest you play Domination/TDM at the beginning to get your weapon progression unlocks quicker. Conquest/Grand Operations is nice, but you're running around a lot and not getting a high number of kills. Of course, YMMV.

Got BF V for Christmas from the wife Have enjoyed it more than I expected I would after the absolute balls up EA made with marketing the game in the lead up to release (their handling should be a case study in how NOT to launch a product!). Just finished playing the class that gets the most hate (MEDIC) and absolutely enjoyed the experience. Making use of smoke to cover revives is critical to not getting killed every 3 seconds AND you can still pick people off at distance with the Sten Gun, you just gotta be steady! All in all Im enjoying the game as it is. I think the game has a pretty rock solid core and if its developed as the EA has said it would be then eventually we are going to end up with a pretty solid product...lets just hope that eventually comes sooner rather than later though. What I would LOVE to see in the future the Sherman tank and the M1 Garand making an appearance in the game (otherwise the weapons in it now are pretty much BF1 reskins!
