Well if there isn’t a moan about the Koran being dissed:

Call Of Duty Players Furious After "Disrespected" Quran Spotted In 'Vanguard'

“God’s holy words on the floor with blood like it doesn’t matter.”

www.gamingbible.co.uk

Newsflash, they aren’t God’s words. There is no God. It doesn’t matter.

Just play your game and stop being offended you fruit.

It's now been removed.

Probably a subversive act by a lone developer, quality control would have been unlikely to have been able to read Arabic and spot that a section of the Quran was in the game.

Most written text on in world paper pages is at such a low resolution or quality it can't be read, or it is gibberish or dummy text. Doesn't really add anything to this game to have religious texts on the floor.

Very tempted to get this as I've got a few days off. The lack of reviews is stopping me from pulling the trigger for now. Just seems a bit off that there's still no reviews despite the game now being released.

Yeah, i'm holding off too. Reading a number of reviews and seeing that 24 songs have been removed,
there's no Michael Jackson and no Ozzy Osbourne and it appears that it's a reskin of the 10th Anniversary. The "modern GTA controls" haven't really been changed much and it's a £30 game being sold as a £60 one. Grove Street Games could have made mroe effort but it looks like they haven't (even reports that the 'rain' in GTA 3 makes the game virtually unplayable). The lack of fog makes the entire map look tiny (you can see Mount Chilliad from Grove Street)

Hopefully patches will come out to fix these issues, but i'm on the whole quite disappointed that they've made relatively little effort when they promised so much. It's worth getting, but not for £60.

But does it really fucking matter?

I tried the beta, and have got EA Play, so spent a few hours last night. I think it's terrible. The guns have zero feel, the movement on the game is trying to mirror COD but it's nowhere near as good. I also think the maps are too big, you spend half your time running around.

I don't even think the graphics are impressive.

The portal is a good function, but it's a shame the gameplay let's it down.

Yep excalty the same feeling. They've tried to make it too much like warzone and having "specialists" is just a complete Rip off from rainbow 6 Siege.

Portal is a really good idea and playing classic maps and modes is great and making your own games and rulesets is a good idea but it's too easy to exploit and farm xp.

Lots of the maps created just contain AI with 1 HP and if you play thses maps for about 5-6 hours you've unlocked every weapon and attachments in the game. XP is tied to all 3 modes so there's is zero sense of progession.

Glad I got the 10 hour free trial as no way is it worth buying in this state.

You would of thought Dice and EA would of learnt their lessons from Battlefront but they haven't

Didn’t rate the new battlefield maybe portal would make it playable. Is it now available on the trial ?

Yes mate, if you have gamepass or ea play you can download it and get a ten hour free trial.

100%. What made Battlefield unique was that it had its own identity, now it's a rip off of other franchises, and what it tries to copy it doesn't do anywhere near as well.

My guess is it'll be on Gamepass within six months as an attempt to get the player base up.
