Want to try your hand at Battlefield 5? There will be a free Grand Operations weekend that starts on October 24. As Reinforcements, you may even see a Sherman Calliope (the MLRS version of the Sherman), JB-2 Rocket (clone of V1, never used in combat), with the Japanese getting reskins of these. War in the Pacific: now with tanksįor vehicles, you’ll get to drive the M4 Sherman and the Japanese Type 97 tanks, amphibious transports, and tanks, jeeps, as well as pilot the F4U Corsair and the Zero.

Actually, the katana (called a, “time-honored melee weapon” high praise for what was usually a factory-made weapon at the time) and the M2 flamethrower are the new Battle Pickups. Some of these will be delivered via Tides of War or as Chapter Rewards. Wake Island will only drop in December and its description talks about using Fortifications to hold the enemy back.Īs for the guns, the ones introduced in Battlefield 5 War in the Pacific will range from common-place – like the Type 99 Arisaka and the Garand – to some of the more out-there things, like a non-suicide version of the Lunge Mine (you can see it used twice in the trailer). On Iwo Jima, you’ll be fighting for the narrow part of the island, with open black beaches giving way to Japanese tunnels in the Mount Suribachi. Pacific Storm can be somewhat accurately described as a reimagining of Paracel Storm from Battlefield 4, so you can expect to conduct an island-hopping campaign in miniature. Remember invading Wake Island back then? Well, you’ll be able to do it again, but with better graphics and at least a marginally more historical loadout. Shines the name of rogerBONG420īattlefield 5 War in the Pacific will take these actions to the classic battlefields of yore – and by that I mean Battlefield 1942. In an hilarious oversimplification and misunderstanding of the war, the Americans are billed having “brute force tactics clash with the Japanese home ground advantage.” Of course, you’ll be able to do more than be a rifle grunt – you can expect to also pilot planes, man static emplacements and drive tanks. Armed Forces (the Marines weren’t the only ones fighting there) and the Imperial Japanese Army. Like Destiny 2 and other service-style games, BFV will mark its one-year milestone with a bang.The new factions are, of course, the U.S. While it isn't completely surprising that there would be more in waiting for the fall, this gives you a better sense of how DICE and EA will try to keep their WWII shooter relevant a year after launch. You'll get more details about Chapter 4 ahead of the EA Play event in early June. There will be 'several' maps designed just for these tighter matches, and there are hints of an urban close-quarter map. On top of the planned updates for March through May (such as a Greek map and a Hardcore mode), the June introduction of Chapter 4 will introduce an as yet unnamed five-on-five close combat mode. There will be more to do in the intervening months, of course.

Don't be surprised if BFV has you island-hopping as the US first reels from the Japanese assault and eventually turns the tables.

PC Gamer points out that Japan's Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was concerned the Pearl Harbor attack 'awaken a sleeping giant' by dragging the US directly into the conflict.

While the team isn't directly sharing details beyond the hints of 'all-out invasion' in a brand new theater, the title ('Awakening the Giant') says a lot. The developers have posted an updated roadmap teasing a fifth chapter in fall 2019 that might be set in the Pacific. Now that Battlefield V's long-promised battle royale mode is nearly here, how else are DICE and EA going to keep you interested? By moving the action halfway around the world, apparently.
