I’ve been battle testing Electronic Arts’ Battlefield V for a few days, and I’ve finished the first three available War Stories, or the single-player campaign. I love the opening cinematics of the War Stories, where developer DICE gets to stretch its storytelling abilities.

The War Stories are vignettes about different characters which show off an untold aspect of the war. We all have images in our head from history books about the second World War, and we can recall our favorite scenes from war movies.
