Battlefield V Gamescom 2018 Hands-on Preview – Never Better
https://wccftech.com/battlefield-v-gamescom-2018-hands-on/
At Gamescom 2018, I had the chance to play about an hour and half of the upcoming Battlefield V. The demo was focused on the Rotterdam map in Conquest mode, and with 800 tickets I got to play about a game an a half. From what I’ve experienced, this might be the best Battlefield I’ve ever played.
The map was near perfectly designed. The capture points were designed like the five sides of a dice, two columns of two on either side with a fifth point in the centre. A river ran up through the middle of the map creating small islands and chokepoints across the bridges. That being said, the waterway was quite narrow and packed with abandoned boats, so agile foot soldiers could cross the river without much trouble. On top of that, a large elevated train bridge ran horizontally across the map giving players another, often forgotten route into enemy territory. It’s elegant and beautiful in its own right, but also has enough unique landmarks scattered around that it doesn’t take long to memorise most of the battleground.
