Even as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare continues to tear up the sales charts, EA and DICE are continuing to prop up Battlefield V by finally introducing a feature that has been at the top of fan requests. Battlefield players will finally be able to create and customize their own servers as well as joining community based playlists to meet their needs. A common feature in previous entries in the series, the Community Games feature rolls out today and is available with no preconditions or paywalls.
The Community Games option will allow players to personalize their experience in the World War II shooter. This can range from creating a playlist of favorite maps to limiting player size and even allowing a password option. Games that are not secured by passwords are searchable through the new server browser and can be eligible for various XP rewards.

With all details listed courtesy of the official Battlefield forums, it looks like the parties involved are trying to make amends for the rocky start of Battlefield V over a year ago by retooling the game at the behest of the community. A recent patch played a big role in balancing all the weapons to add variety in the base gameplay, and the inclusion of the heavily requested Community Games will give fans another win courtesy of EA and DICE trying to keep the game relevant as Modern Warfare dominates the market.
For as much flak as Battlefield V had upon release, it really is more of an instance of a poor rollout compromising an otherwise acceptable game. The dated format of making it a historic shooter did outlive its welcome after Battlefield I, but the series still has a dedicated following and the game serves as a fine alternative to the methodical makeover Modern Warfare received.
This could serve as a nice change of pace for players who are looking for something out of the norm or for those who have tired of Tides of War or battle royale play. Banning weapons, hiding the mini map and even kicking idle or annoying players can definitely enhance the experience for those who’ve had enough of playing round after round of Domination and hearing the rattles of an endless stream of MP-40s. While Call of Duty looks to have won the battle this time around, Battlefield V is still showing that it has some fight left.
