The battlefield franchise has always been a speculative military scenario morphed twitch shooter. The single player story line game appeared to drive the content and set-up in the multiplayer maps. Many military-esk shooters throughout the years allowed player to select male/female custom load-outs like Joint Ops, Unreal Tournament and Planetside 2 to name a few without any social comment. In Quake we'd set the colors of the players tunic and pants to reflect the colors of the squad to help keep track of who was on what team.
Recently, media has released Star Trek, Star Wars, Wolfenstein 2 Colossus, and BF V as examples implicating a social commentary to name a few touching off mainstream players and fans. If media presents a viewpoint, they shouldn't be alarmist on the feedback either. The pace of social discussion is slower than the social acceptance. DICE is Swedish and may insert euro viewpoints and I get that.
Anyhoo, having played the BF V beta and the BF series, the two maps don't seem to be much different than previous titles. They could have uploaded a DLC for BF3 or 4 and would be nice. Those games looked good too. I don't look at so much at the characters or attributes, just what is shooting at me and feeble attempts at return fire. Little hard to pick out the differences in uniforms at any distance. The game seems to keeps squads closer together more, or I feel I stay with the squad better than I did in previous games. Haven't really seen anything BF V brings to the table other than a different scenario setting but its still a beta and enjoyable. Love to see community admin'ed servers back.
