Re: Battlefield V

I'm downloading a 5GB update now on Xbox. Maybe firestorm early?

Here the BFV road map.

Re: Battlefield V

Played Firestorm today on the PS4 & enjoyed it. I went solo mode & had a few 2nd's. The fire ring is really well done & gives the storm a dangerous intensity feel to it. Makes you feel like you don't want to go in it. Also gives of a haze when nearby it. There are objective's that when you take it then you get higher tier loot. Word of warning you are target if you attempt to take control. One guy waited til I got it then took me out when I went for the loot. One thing that should be changed is the way loot spits out after you kill an enemy. It disperses in an overlapping clutter & makes it tedious to sift through. Much prefer it be a box or bag where you open it to see an inventory of the enemy's loot inside. It's early so hopefully they address the complaints.

Re: Battlefield V

Played one round of Firestorm, got 5 kills, and won. I played the entire round with a Sturmgewehr 1-5 and the Thompson. It suffers from the same legacy issues that other Battle Royale games do. and to me it was boring for 15 minutes until the action kicks off and then it's just about positioning. I like how intense it got at the very end when it was down to two people, but getting to that point just isn't for me. It's a mode I know I could be decent at, but I just prefer Conquest.

I'm also not too crazy about how this mode ties in with others in regards to stats. Firestorm is a real SPM, KPM, etc. killer whereas people have been able to boost their stats in Combined Arms. These modes should have their own stats.

Re: Battlefield V

I’m already done with FIrestorm. Just not a BR guy. Conquest is where it’s at

Re: Battlefield V

I like Firestorm, it easily has the best sound & graphics of the bunch. There is several issues that will make me put it down though.

- TTK is way to long w/ armor, level 1 isn't terrible but level 3 is like fighting Iron man.

- Shotguns are pointless, feels like you are shooting people with confetti

- Why have a pre-game lobby?!?! Find 64 people with the damn timer when I click play, then launch me in the plane. Why do I have to wait 2 to 3 min at the menu screen, then launch into a pre-lobby filled with 60 people just to wait another min or more to find the last 4 people, ONLY to wait another min once it is filled before we can even get on the plane. So I wasted 6 to 8 min trying to get back into a match. STUPID game design.

- Why do explosives SUCK against infantry. This was my first match so I fat fingered this fight BUT 3 RPG's to the feet should kill a guy!

These are some of the things that will make me play PUBG over BF5 Firestorm.

Re: Battlefield V

I played one round the other day. Could not fathom why it took so long to get into a match.

Re: Battlefield V

What RPG were you using? The only thing effective against infantry is the PIAT or the frag grenade rifle. Everything else just doesn't have the same splash damage.

I said I was retiring from BR with my 100% win, but some guys from my clan drug me back into it last night and we played three rounds. It wasn't too bad, but the loot system and menu is extremely clunky and hard to navigate.

I also don't care for the way you equip armor. You have the DS4 with the touch pad, r3, etc. and the only way to use something like armor is to go to the inventory and equip it and then use it. I also don't like the way you sift through gear after you kill someone.

I bitched about this all ready, but Firestorm stats should absolutely not effect conquest stats. I played 3 rounds last night and watched my score-per-minute tank really fast so that's reason enough not to play it. It's the same with how Combined Arms was counting towards MP stats and allowing people to boost their KDR.... why is this even possible?

Re: Battlefield V

I like firestorm and usually don't like battle royale games. Just get me into the game quicker! Hopefully EA will do something about the lobby.

May be something I'm doing wrong, but I've played about 15 rounds and in half of them I can't find a gun before someone kills me

Definitely agree, Armor at high levels makes the game almost unplayable.

Its like this in Conquest too. Drives me crazy how a panzerfaust takes like 40 damage off a soldier, but not much less than that off a tank. Grenade rifles are better against soldiers, I find. Had a couple nice kills with them, even got one recorded with nvidia highlights, when it was working.

Re: Battlefield V

Looks like something might have been done with lobby. Played a bunch of games last night and every round the timer was already counting down when I got in the lobby. It was no longer trying to fill up to 64 players.

Re: Battlefield V

Got my first solo victory today in Firestorm with 6 kills. <iframe width="740" height="440" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GRPWXIGc0DE" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Re: Battlefield V

It's really not much or the best stuff I have saved somewhere, but I realized I never make any video clips at all compared to BF1 so I threw something together from the other night.

Re: Battlefield V

Private Servers are coming, thank God. Unfortunately though, not until "after summer". Guess this is staying shelved a little while longer.

Re: Battlefield V

All I can say is Battlefield 6 better be the next step forward from Battlefield 4 or I won't be buying these games anymore. It blows my mind that a company can have such a great game ( BF4) and then go backwards for the next 3 installments.
