The open beta of Battlefield V will be available for all tomorrow, but it could be played since yesterday for pre-orders and EA/Origin Access members. Here are two PC gameplay videos with Ultra settings, in 1440p and 5.1 audio (by downloading the source file).
Hardware used to capture these videos:

wow as in, wow so it doesn't look nothing like the reveal trailer AT ALL.
Just BFOne with a coat of paint and girls, this time?
Even the raytracing looks bad. so a new generation of horse power to do... proper SSR real-tiem reflections that means almost no visual gain? such wow.
count me out.
Visually it's better, did you download the videos or watch the streams ? With the compression you lose some details, and the camera can move pretty fast so details can get lost during encoding.

This footage was captured with a 1080 Ti, no raytracing is enabled.
It was a trailer, not gameplay bits like this.
Battle Royale mode could be very interesting!

Now everything is better, i think.
The Slower Speed feels sooooo good for me!
I like the Open Beta more then BF1 in it's "Today" State :)
It is a Good Year for Gamers :)))

Favorite Battlefield? Probably not... but it's doing some amazing stuff. The gunplay is great.

Hardcore mode should be even better when released! F**K it Dice has a sale!
It's fun for a quick blast, but nothing about it is sucking me in. It just feels more of the same. Formulaic. All this talk about it being "the most immersive Battlefield yet" was bollocks. There's one or two things in there that tries to encourage team play, like the limited ammo, class balance and that, but it still suffers from the same shite as the rest, as in players just don't seem to care and just lone wolf it. The building of forts and structures seems pointless from what I've played so far. I think I saw one player do it once and that was it.
EA are slowly eroding this series into the ground. It feels like they want to compete too much with COD, and therefor feel like they have to cater to that demographic and release what feels like a new game every year. It's getting played out now, and is in need of it reinventing itself, but I suppose adding women and funky customisations is their idea of that.
Building is probably more common than you think. In conquest flags are getting fortified frequently. As in every round I play. I don't build (because I'm playing assault and medic) but I appreciate that it adds another layer to the sandbox. There are flags that are dead open on Norvick without fortification for example. Or the central flag under the train bridge on the Dutch map.
The best start to any BF game in a long time. I want the option to default to the deploy screen instead of the squad spectator cam though. It's a neat idea but I don't think it's a good execution. You lose valuable information about what's happening by not viewing the deploy screen.
Doubt I'll buy it until it's cheap. But it seems pretty good.

My main complaints...and this has been the case with BF since BF4. Is the classes. They never quite feel right. I miss a stand alone engineer class for instance. Now it's just been shoehorned into assault. I don't like certain aspects of the weapon upgrade system. Like why has it become a "this or that" skill tree? I also don't like that you have to manually redeem your unlocks for weapons. Like...why have this unnecessary step? And as grift said, I don't like that it defaults to squad following after a death. It should default to the map screen. Also, is this the extent of the weapon options or is it just because it's a beta? It makes it look like incredibly slim picking per class.
There's a lot to like. But it feels a bit too safe. But out of all the upcoming MP games it's definitely the one I'm the most into. It's still a unique thing in the MP space and it captures the frantic panic of ground warfare better than anything else on the market.
I still think these roles need tweaking but I don't completely expect them to stay as-is. They've already changed the medic and assault loadouts from the alpha. The rifle grenade is borderline useless and they need a better gadget to fill that slot. And it doesn't make a lot of sense that the medic can carry the med pouch and crate at the same time. That stuff can be tweaked.
I don't really think it feels like a modern BF game. I still wanted a modern game. I'd be the first to say it felt like modern combat if I thought it did. I miss my high rate of fire weapons and modern gadgets. And helicopters. And modern tanks. Yeah.. it's WW2.
