Battlefield V
Battlefield Vwill be pay back new maps in Chapter 4 : defy the betting odds , with two 64 - thespian surround getting sum beginning June 27 this year . The proclamation , made in the beginning today , is made in the midst of a controversy regarding the secret plan ’s at - clock time baffling representations of legitimacy , and developer DICE and publisher EA ’s unwillingness to put to one side or the other when these representation are called into interrogation .
Battlefield Vhas been a steady source of problems for its developer , despite the actualgameplay stay quite strong . alas , broken promises regarding the secret plan ’s content , like thebody carry featurethat never made it into the game , has soured fans on the experience . That , plus the highly belated addition ofFirestorm battle royale , has given the impression thatBattlefield Vwas hasten out the door without all of its belongings , something that has driven players away and into the waiting arms of other titles , even if those backup are less technically - refined .

Battlefield Vwill be getting two new maps , one contract place in Al Sudan , the other taking place in Marita . Both function will be gigantic and will boast the kind of environment that is at its best in a biz that can support as many histrion asBattlefield Vdoes seamlessly . More information will be reveal during EA Play’sBattlefield Vlivestream , which will take position at 10:30am PT on Saturday , June 8 . During this announcement , however , Battlefield Vhas been embroiled in a newfangled controversy regardingBattlefield V ’s microtransactions , which have monetize the ability for player to interpret " authentic " Nazi soldiers .
Obviously , this is a delicate subject , and one that would be better handle by a company willing to take a stand on whether it will adhere to its claim of authenticity or not . It ’s fine to decide not to engage with the Nazi rhetoric on a elaborate level — fans would certainly understand . It ’s another to claim legitimacy , begin selling people on an " elite " cosmetic hide of a Nazi who is represented as a hero , and then shy off from the label as soon as fans begin questioning it . Battlefield Vhas suppressed Nazi mental imagery in the secret plan , invalidate swastikas , removing footing like " Hitler " and " Nazi " from in - game chat , and more . die has even summate women and people of color to the Allied and Nazi factions in the name of inclusivity , which prompted wrath from some of the gaming residential district over the historical inaccuracy such a decision invited .
Those inaccuracies are , by and large , fine . If a plot require to be more inclusive , that should be celebrated . make representation is n’t more unrealistic than jump out of an aircraft directly onto another one and piloting it aside from an foeman , which is a shop mechanic available inBattlefieldgames that no one seems to have an publication with . The problem , and why perhaps some of these fans are so furious about inaccurate representation of Nazis , is thatBattlefield Vpretends like it is going to deliver a historically accurate experience until its inconvenient to stick to it , abandoning the conceit .
It ’s a upsetting thing . The raw microtransaction production basically lionise being a Nazi , or , at the very least , attempt to make being a Nazi cool . DICE has gone to great lengths to avoid make those assertions , though . Battlefield Vhas always had contradictions about itself , and they ’ve been part of why the secret plan has never deal to dumbfound out despite some with child play mechanics . Unfortunately , the later introduction of some intricately designed and beautiful maps at the same clock time the game is highlighting the faction it has also attempted to scrub out of the gameplay is yet another lesson of why those contradictions can be extremely uncomfortable .
