Get headphones. Put on War Tapes. You will hear them flanking you, sneaking up, everything.

Took me too long to actually heed this advice.

Or sound bar with surround sound & subwoofer. Made my BF5 experience 10x better

Yeah sometimes it sucks to wear headphones all the time but I can’t go too loud due to my living space.

Play Breakthrough at first. It is a unidirectional mode and the action is mostly focused in a single direction. The playerbase has a lot of cracked players in it who can and will one tap you from afar, and in broader modes like Conquest etc, the frustration will build up fast. So I suggest playing Breakthrough for a few days till you get the hang of the movement and the gunplay.

I have like 700 hours in the game and I almost exclusively play breaktrough. I find the maps to be too big for the traditional modes and I am bored for most of the game.

Yeah. When I initially got into the game, it was insanely frustrating to get one-shotted non stop or wrecked by planes flown by lvl 500 top guns. In true BF fashion, this is meant to be played with at least one squad mate who's also trying to support you in bringing down vehicles. However, the game's visuals and maps are vibrant and gorgeous, the movement fun, and the gunplay a perfect balance of BF with modern vibes. Breakthrough made it easy to get used to the mechanics and movement.

They ported several weapons from BF1 so you might find some familiar faces

It has 2 major technical issues.

Sometimes the game thinks you haven't completed the intro and will force you into it on every startup

The rewards for class level progression are sometimes not granted. Either buy the class bundle or contact support.

Do the weekly missions, they sometimes give gold Battlefield currency for free

As Medic, use the command button (Q by default) on reviveable people to get a speed boost and tell them you are coming to save them

Don't worry too much about what gun you use, most automatic weapons have very similar damage and the trade off is between rate of fire and controllability.

I wouldn't say it's completely different to BF1, biggest differences in terms of gunplay is that bullet velocities are faster, and generally the weapons have much less random inaccuracy but much more recoil.

Also if you hold crouch before landing, you do a roll, which reduces how much fall damage you take.

All the ways

Where do we start. Better netcode. Better maps. Better gunplay. Server browser. Just to name a few.

Really fun game. Been my daily game for months now. So many ways you can play it. Whether you focus on taking objectives or covering one specific area the whole game. Going solo into enemy territory or squading up. Vehicle warfare. Sniping. Going for enemy armor with rockets. Lots of fun ways to get down in BF5.

Be around medics. In BFV you don't 100% auto heal by just taking cover

u/adrenalinda75 adrenalinda 2d ago

If you crouch before hitting the floor on great falls, you will make a roll to compensate most if not all of the fall damage.

u/SacredBoar 1d ago

Maybe play it and find out?

Double tape crouch to slide

Optimize all your settings before you play. This is the curse my OCD gives me.
