You can still leave your assigned squad and play as a lone wolf, but the game actively discourages it.Īnother benefit of working in a team is that, when enough points are accumulated, the leader can call in a so-called Squad Reinforcement. It also encourages squads to stay close together, as tempting as it might be to run off and test out your new sniper rifle.
This is a lot slower than when a medic does it, but still fairly invaluable in the final stages of a match. Not only can you spawn on an ally if they aren’t engaged in combat, but now non-medic characters can perform a ‘buddy revive’ on a fallen comrade. Squads are more important than ever in Battlefield 5. And for an online-focused FPS at launch, that’s pretty decent. Ultimately, there are no bad maps in Battlefield 5: just a few mediocre ones. The latter is another big, open map ideally suited to vehicles and I only really found it interesting when both armies descended on the colossal hangar at the heart of the map. The former is based around a Norwegian harbour town, and except for a few memorably tense fights around an elevated train yard on the waterfront, nothing really sticks out about it. Narvik and Aerodrome sit somewhere in the middle. Hamada, a large desert map, is great for vehicle combat, but the distances between control points and the generally increased time-to-kill in Battlefield 5 mean you spend a lot of time running back to where you died and, if you’re unlucky, being sniped by someone on the way. It’s visually impressive and incredibly atmospheric, but the cluttered geometry and lack of clear, identifiable paths to each control point make it feel messy and poorly paced. Less successful is Devastation, the Rotterdam-based map I mentioned earlier. Its exposed mountainside location makes for some hectic firefights, with opportunities for distant snipers and aircraft to make your life hell. Fjell 652, set in the mountains of Norway, is a lot of fun too, particularly the control point situated among a scattering of cabins. The open areas are perfect for vehicle skirmishes, while infantry can battle for control of the farmhouses and villages scattered around the area. Arras is another great map: an expanse of French countryside covered in vivid yellow rapeseed fields.
