Battlefield V

They are well-produced and work as an introduction to the weapons and vehicles. Most players, though, come to Battlefield V for multiplayer.

Breakthrough has attackers pushing through sectors. Grand Operations stretches a battle across multiple in-game days with changing objectives, which feels like a proper campaign with friends. There is also Firestorm, a battle royale variant, plus a co-op Combined Arms mode for up to four players against AI.

Squads can build fortifications such as sandbags and barbed wire, and anyone can revive squadmates. Ammunition is limited, so players depend on Support teammates. Expect fewer lone-wolf heroics and more organised pushes.

PS4 works fine for casual squads. You need an EA account. It still holds up visually and runs well on most cafe PCs.

Play as Medic first; reviving teammates is the fastest way to help your team and learn the maps. Build cover at captured points to make defending easier. Learn to lead your shots on moving targets because bullets have travel time. And stay with your squad so you have someone to spawn on.

A full Grand Operation can take an hour or more. For a squad night, two hours is ideal.

It suits fans of World War II settings and groups who want large-scale, team-driven combat with friends.
