As I stated in my previous blog post, the BFV reveal stream did not give us many details about the game, so we have to rely on Youtubers and media that had a closed 3-hour session with Dice before the reveal stream and have posted videos with more information.
Battlefield Youtuber Jackfrags had the best video with a lot more information about BFV, check it out below.
Battlefield V New Gameplay Features and Huge changes
Here are details about BFV from Jackfrags video above:
- There will be a co-op mode named "Combined Arms"
- No premium pass
- Fortifications, you can build things on the battlefield such as sandbags, foxholes, trenches, barbed wire, tank stoppers, machine gun nests, and re-enforce buildings. The Support class can only build offensive things such as machine guns. There are pre-determined positions on maps where you can build.
- Attrition, you will no longer re-generate to full health. Your health bar is now in stages and you will only re-generate health up to whatever stage you are at.
- Everything is going to require physical interaction, such as getting health or ammo with kits.
- No more shooting at 3D "doritos", spotting is changing.
- You'll be spawning in with limited ammo.
- You can loot ammo from downed enemies.
- Revive animation takes a few seconds to perform.
- Ragdolls are now server side and have physics, so everyone will see bodies in the same place. Bodies can roll down hills.
- You can drag teammates bodies into cover to revive them.
- Anyone can revive now, but non-medics can only revive squadmates. Non-medics will not revive you to full health. Medics can revive anyone on your team and will revive you to full health.
- When you get downed, you can look around and call out for help.
- Gunplay, no more visual recoil, every gun has a unique learn-able recoil pattern.
- LMG bipods will be easier to use. (How much easier from BF1 can bipods make LMGs?)
- Bullet penetration, you can shoot through thin walls, wood, and sheet metal.
- Movement system has been overhauled, you can dive forward, back, left and right. You can stay down and shoot. There will be a delay before you can shoot.
- You can crouch sprint.
- You can throw back grenades and shoot them in the air.
- Vehicles can now tow things, such as AA guns.
- Destruction, more destruction.
- Squads, new spawning system lets you see your squad-mates in full-screen to see what they're doing and where they are at.
- Squad reinforcements/call-ins, squad points lets you call in different things, only the squad leader can call them in.
- Elite kits and behemoths are not in BFV.
- Large explosions can knock you over.
- Four classes will return (Assault, Medic, Support, Scout).
- You create a soldier and add them to your company. Then you can customize that character. Then you can choose a class archetype, which are highly customize-able within a skill tree-type system. The purpose is to create clear and understandable roles within that class. Each archetype can specialize in something.
