Battlefield Destruction Comparison: Battlefield 1 / Battlefield 5 / Battlefield 2042

Battlefield destruction has always been apart of the BF series. In some games it has been more destruction than others. Here is a comparison of battlefield 1, battlefield 5 and battlefield 2042 destruction.

Music in the video are from the battlefield 2042 game. Thank you for watching.

Battlefield 1 was best imo. Looked more natural than the others. Great comparison! :)

"BF1's unique WW1 setting, immersive atmosphere, and balanced gameplay really set it apart from BFV and BF2024. Nostalgia aside, it just feels like the devs put their hearts into it, unlike the later titles that seem pressured by corporate demands. Who else misses the raw experience of BF1? 👍"

CoD player: there are enemies in that house
Bf player: what house?

i m happy to see that someone still cares about destruction in Bf, which is, in my opinion, a core feature for the franchise. However in BF2042 was so downgraded. Hope the next Battlefield will evolve destruction

BF1 was the most fluid on account that the debris disappears instantly. The bits linger on BF2042 and V for a sec, even straight up shrinking in V which both kinda take me out of it rather despawning quicker than I can process.

You can't tell me BF1 wasn't the best Battlefield game we've ever had. The detail in graphics, sounds physics and the gameplay itself is of a masterclass work of art.

I think the reason why bf1's destruction looks better is because the devs weren't afraid to use a ton of smoke and debris particles to hide the fact that shit was just popping out of existence (like we see clearly in bf5)

it results in not only having visually better destruction, but also unfortunately significantly worse visibility which is why I think bf5 removed a lot of those particles.

unrelated note - anyone else think that explosions in bf5 and 2042 are kinda underwhelming compared to bf1?

Destruction is what made this game different from others. It's sad that 2042 took steps back from what made the game stand out. Bf1 destruction and bfv was way better then 2042 it's nice to see they are trying to correct their errors on 2042 but I still don't find the enjoyment in that game as I did I all the past titles

[Assassino_da_Pista]

here we see how much EA is dedicated to its games, the destruction of Battlefield 1 manages to be better than that of Battlefield V and 2042

[marcm.official]

bf1 had the best destruction in the franchise, bfv looked good but was a bit of a downgrade due to its fast pop out of the debris

[resisthesucc]

I believe that BFV's destruction is the most impressively advanced, at least on a technical level. However, BF1's destruction had this sense of naturalism and felt more realistic, which is why I feel that it is the best in the series in terms of total chaos.

BF1 is the firstborn, made with love and dedication, BF5 is the uncomprehended child in the middle and BF2042 is just the aftermath of a bad drinking night.

i feel like if 2042 used destruction from portal more often it would be much better

[angeloyanke]

The explosion animation for the sturmtiger and most of the tanks in general in bfv are really really cool.

[toadtheparakeet]

Battlefield 1 is superior in about every category compared to the others

[ronanpitzel]

Great video, but there is also a windmill in BF 2042 that you can compare with the ones from V and 1. on the Battle of the Bulge map!

[-UnchartedSky-]

bf1 was so ahead of its time. A shame that they didn't continue with the quality of that game.

[christiancenter]

Bf1 will always be my favorite and best out of the series. Bfv was great too

"C5 GO Love the fact that the C4/C5 detonator has different random phrases on the screen when detonating.

[LeRoyt]

As good as bf1 destruction is, i have to say I'm actually impressed with 2042 destruction in some areas. I really like how some larger chunks have a little bit of a delay before they fall and roll around. Makes it seem more organic. Ex: 1:16 and 4:11

Also i just have to mention how amazing the ground deformation is in bf1. I remember playing games that by the end of a match the entire shape of the landscape in some areas was completely changed. And diving into, sometimes massive, craters was so immersive.
