Every year, the art team at DICE do some of the best work in video games, and 2018 has been no exception. Battlefront II featured some of my favourite pieces from 2017, and some of the work that went into imagining Battlefield 1 could have been hung in a War Memorial.
Last week, I realised that I had a problem. My Xbox Live Gamertag was tied to an EA Account that was not my primary EA Account. Worse yet, I no longer had access to the email associated with that EA Account. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for a Customer Service Experience.
Battlefield V, playable now for EA Access and Origin Premier members, takes the series back to its World War Two roots with far more spectacle than when the series premiered in 2002. I was sceptical after the game's rough betas, and while I've only had a handful of hours with its latest incarnation, Battlefield V has largely proven itself. It plays fast, tells lesser-known stories, and while not everything has clicked yet, it's an intense experience.
Briefly: DICE Lead Multiplayer Designer Valerian Noghin shared an image on Twitter of a map called Hamada from the upcoming Battlefield V. At 1500m in the Breakthrough game mode, it's a pretty big map. Battlefield V comes out on November 20.
