Battlefield V: 12 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

From shooting grenades in mid-air to the new spotting system, war has changed in Battlefield.

Battlefield V, after a long and storied marketing campaign that made it - unfathomably - one of the most controversial games of the year, has finally released. Despite fears that the sequel was moving into Call of Duty territory, however, the latest instalment is actually the most demanding yet, with the new attrition system and a heightened time-to-kill making firefights even more intense, and teamwork even more important.

Consequently, though many naysayers have reductively dubbed the release "Battlefield 1.5" and complained that not enough has changed between sequels, DICE's WW2 shooter is a markedly different beast from its predecessor, and it can take some time to not only get used to the brand new gameplay features, but classic staples that've been reworked.

With the game being out for early-access players, though, people are already starting to grasp the new mechanics (that the game admittedly does a pretty poor job of explaining), leading to some essential tips you need to know if you want to dominate the competition on launch week.
