Another rumor was confirmed – we aren’t surprised in the slightest…
During EA Play, DICE and Electronic Arts announced that Battlefield V, just like its rival, Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII, will receive a Battle Royale mode, but it will only launch after the game releases. (Going by the previous rumor which we discussed, it was bound to happen.) Battle Royale will be „reimagined with the core pillars of destruction, team play, and vehicles. It will be unlike anything you’ve played before,” Battlefield’s Twitter account wrote.
DICE also described the multiplayer game modes. Grand Operations will seamlessly showcase Battlefield V‘s maps and game modes, and it will be an evolution of BF1’s Operations mode, based on historical events. We previously described it already so that we won’t go into detail this time: the battle will be split to days (usually three), and if there’s unfinished business from some, the Final Stand will happen with no respawning and limited ammunition. Airborne will kick off each Grand Operation – the invasion’s (and the anti-air artillery cannon’s destruction) success might play a pivotal role in a team’s failure or success.
The other game modes: in the 64-player Conquest, teams must rule several flags/objects on the map (and they can use some fortification for it, as all players will be capable of doing so [see the fourth video] – towing artillery will also be possible). In Breakthrough, maps will be divided into sectors, and the attacking team must claim them in sequential order – if you played Battlefield 1, you would remember this system from the Operations game mode. Frontlines, a mixture of Rush and Conquest, will have one flag/object that we have to rule (and it can be destroyed by planted explosives!), and succeeding means the frontline will move closer to the enemy team. The last flag will open up the enemy base for us. Domination is Conquest’s „little brother” with multiple objects to rule, and if you claim at least half of them, the other team will start losing respawns, making them easier to defeat. Team Deathmatch needs no explanation…
War Stories, the campaign mode, will be shown in detail at 1 PM Pacific / 4 PM Eastern / 9 PM BST / 10 PM CEST at Microsoft’s press conference. It was barely shown during EA Play. The three videos are the multiplayer trailer, and two Grand Operations videos – the latter one is by NVidia, the official partner of DICE for the PC version.
Battlefield V will launch on October 19 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
