It’s a good, not great, selection of modes spread across a modest total of eight maps, though they’re fairly diverse and grand in scale. What makes Battlefield V work so well is the crispness of its gameplay, which often creates a frenetic pace and awesome moments where you and a dozen others are charging through destroyed buildings to try and capture a location from the enemy.

Mark of the Ninja is designed around stealth. Your default movement speed is very deliberate, and your sword can only be used during assassinations triggered when your target is unaware or dazed.
