I also think that a good mid-range graphics card such as GTX 1050 Ti can handle it easily at 1080p.

Like most gaming forums on Reddit, the Battlefield subreddit is always abuzz with topical discussions like the historical accuracy debates currently at hand. With post after post about the same topic cluttering up the subreddit as Redditors hash it out with the same points and counterpoints, the moderators of the subreddit have now put a new rule into effect that prevents any more complaining about historical accuracy.
“We're done, it’s over. New rule: No more bitching about historical accuracy, it's a game, not a history book,” the post that announced the new rule read. “Violations will have consequences.”

I've seen that excuse thrown around more & more these days (especially as a justification for female soldiers fighting in Battlefield V's western front, for example), i.e. "it's a game, not a history book".
Well, firstly, it's a WW2 game, i.e. a game which aims to immerse the player in that particular epoch & war. Throw a woman in the British frontline armed forces in the 1940's & voilà, you might as well throw clowns in as well. Because it makes as much sense & is equal on the 'we don't give a shit about accuracy' level.
Secondly, in terms of video games never recreating 'realism' (another excuse used by the same defenders of historical inaccuracies), it's inherent to the platform itself, i.e. we use a controller in our hands to move characters on a TV & complete a series of challenges within the confines of events programmed into the software. It's NEVER about realism per se, but about immersion, gameplay, level design & suspension of disbelief (i.e. same as movies to a large extent vis-à-vis the latter).
Considering Dice have set their game in WW2, by including women they've trashed the immersion & suspension of disbelief entirely. Will the gameplay be fine? Maybe, but as a WW2 centric title it's a total fail. The only way women in WW2 as presented by Dice could be achieved properly would be if the title takes a parody route & aims for the Inglorious Basterds/Monty Python genre, i.e. no serious tone or message or anything remotely profound (war is brutal & bad & sad etc.) in terms of the depiction of WW2 will be acceptable in Battlefield V considering one of the key historical truths of the era (hello, women weren't in the British army fighting ze Germans with machine guns & cricket bats) has been utterly ignored.

Those who are talking about women being in the game and part of the reason they won't buy it is what I want. That way I won't be seeing them online and all the more reason for me to get it.

This is why I still play BFBC2, the ONLY customization is your loadout and even that is fairly limited. When you respawn, you're just some random character and the focus is entirely on gameplay / strategy (lol let's be serious this is an arcade fps).
I realize that customization is their only real means of monetizing the game now that they've backed away from a season pass or expansions, but character customization in non rpg games is one of the worst things the industry has come up with.

History or realism aside, I don't think its testosterone stimulating during war or even in war games when you hear women yelling with rage with high pitched voice. So i think its good as an option for those who want to play as women when they bayonet charge, but i would personally like to see bearded men with scars and muscles leading young men to Valhalla.

Yea, there were a large number of bans who disagreed with the 19 year old dutch child-mod trying to silence other's valid opinions. I just unsubscribed as I have no need to see a community silence discussion for brownie points with authoritarian/far-left folk.
Especially with the continued disingenuous assertions that it is the "women" that are the issue with the game, and not at all the lack of historical authenticity, the insult to the men and women who actually fought, or the lack of cohesive character design. Nah, lets just blame it all on those Alt-Righters, GamerGaters, and misogynists.

Plays good, more animations are in as well. When you fall from a higher surface, you go into your knees for example.
Ammo is a problem for the assault class, you got 2 spare mags and they are gone so fast.
Snipers do much less damage and there is no sweetspot with 100dmg. Assist counts as kill starts now at 60 I believe.
Graphics are good but more demanding than bf1 imo. Also, you cant turn off AA.

Any spare alpha codes floating around?

What we also get:
Random crashes
Not being able to choose a squad
No voicechat
Not being able to choose the team
Did I mention random crashes? Because they happen all the time
No Autoteambalance - when your teammates leave, you have hope that somehow 10 players connect to your server or you are going to play 16 vs 32 like I just did.

It dosen't effect gameplay so I don't see what your problem is. Also there will be loadout customization too.

Instead of unlocking a gun or attachment, you now also have skins in the mix adding padding and reducing the chance of you getting something you want.
The issue is the same as with any lootbox, instead of simply being able to quickly obtain what I want ant use that, I now have to throw my hands up and simply hope that it drops instead of another 6 skins that I don't care about and will never use. I don't see how anyone can think that's a better system

I am still excited for this game. Doesn't matter what comes out or what people say BF's always deliver for me. Nothing matches its scale and versatility. And with all the rage being Battle Royal games there isn't anything thats trying to challange BF's all out war.

These shots, and similar ones that appear throughout the trailer, are a quick display of the arsenal of customized vehicles and aircraft you can collect as part of The Company. Seen from the cockpit of an advancing tank or from the planes diving through fiery plumes of smoke, players can upgrade these vehicles and aircraft to fit their playstyle. Choose between greater firepower or improved durability. Coming after launch for vehicles is visual customization, too.
