In Battlefield 5, the big Summer Update goes live today, along with the last chapter of the shooter. Fans are excited about the new features but mourn the game.
This is happening today: The big Summer Update goes live and brings various new features to Battlefield 5. Among other things, there are new weapons and maps. It is the first major update since Chapter 6 in February.
At the same time, it is also the last major new content in the shooter. The developers have already announced that they will not be bringing any further chapters to Battlefield 5.
This is included in the big Summer Update
These new maps are available: The update brings 2 new maps to the game:
- Al Marj Encampment – A sparse desert town that promises close combat in buildings
- Provence – An open map in the lavender fields of Provence
Changes to the game modes: There are many adjustments to the game modes of Battlefield 5. For example, on the maps Panzerstorm and Twisted Steel, only the USA fights against Germany.
In addition, several bugs in various modes have been fixed, allowing for smoother gameplay.
These are the new weapons: A total of 9 new weapons await you in the update. We present the list:
- Sjögren Shotgun
- Chauchat
- M3 Infrared
- K31/43
- Welgun
- M1941 Johnson
- PPK/PPK silenced
- M1911 silenced
- Welrod
General changes: The fight between the USA and Germany is now much more in focus. Both factions will also receive new vehicles. The Americans will also receive 14 new soldier characters.
How is the update received? The feedback on the changes is largely positive. Many players are looking forward to the increased focus on the fight between Germany and the USA.
On the other hand, there is also a lot of sadness surrounding the update. After all, it is the last major adjustment to the game, and fans know that nothing more will come afterwards.
User Vince_Terranova summarizes the situation appropriately. He says: “I am glad to see that the game is getting a big update with a lot of content. It’s too bad that it will be the last one.”
However, many players miss the weapon Panzerschreck. It is the German counterpart to the Bazooka and has often been requested. Now it is clear that this weapon will probably not appear in Battlefield 5.
What’s next for Battlefield? Part 5 of the series will continue to be available, and you can fully enjoy the update. However, you should not expect further major updates.
A new Battlefield, namely part 6, is also not tangible yet. According to EA, the game is expected to be released in 2021 at the earliest. Experts suspect a release in the autumn of the coming year.
You will have to enjoy Battlefield 5 for at least another year. If you are looking for an alternative to the game, you can also check the MeinMMO list of the best shooters on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. There we present some games that can keep up with Battlefield 5.
