1 MINUTE COUNTDOWN

Just out of curiosity - Firestorm and PUBG both have 1 minute countdown once some threshold amount of players join the server. My question is kinda technical - why is it so? Why cannot you start server immediately after 1 minute? That’s literally ~1 hour of players time wasted (1 minute x 64 players)

The system of looting is too difficult.

Not really, when you get knocked down the animation is kicing in too slow, in all that time he can finish you off already. So no point in the gun cuz you don’t get to use it

Once again we are an after thought. Left out. Dice why does this happen every time? We pay for our battlefield games just like everyone else and wait in anticipation for updates/releases such as Firestorm to only be bitterly disappointed at launch to realise once again we are not even thought of or included. Not good enough!

I keep dying soon after dropping. If I do survive the drop, I spend the next 10 minutes running around doing not much or running away from the fire. I’ve given it a go. Not for me. Conquest \> BR. Waste of development time IMO.

Every single round of the squad-gamemode is won by clans…no way to play with matchmaking random guys.

Solo-Battle royale is meh.

So Duo would have been the way to go…but yeah…we can’t have that…for whatever reasons.

GG Dice… O\_o

I can confirm this, just happened to me right now. Downed a guy in a house ran into the house and there was one teammate and the downed guy shooting and killing me before I could shoot with my pistol.

I have tried it 3 times, killed within seconds of landing each time. 5 minute cycle to try again for seconds of gameplay. Lovely.

Ah okay that makes sense. Hopefully they can adjust that to where this isn’t so much of an animation or something.

No, it’s much more complicated than that. I want the people at dice to know how bad this game sucks and how terrible the developers are who they put in charge of it. I want them to know how much the players hate Battlefield 5 and especially Firestorm mode.

Matchmaking doesn’t work, we queued with 2 players today on several games, most of the queues take 3-4 minutes and even then it throws us 2 vs 4 man squads so we spent more than hour just looking at the queue today.

Looting/inventory is still terrible even though we knew that from the event, how can it be cleared by QA, there’s absolutely nothing positive about it, just awful.

And why on earth can’t we bind keys for all items in inventory instead of having to tab and “swap”, we have like 100 free keys on the keyboards, feels like some console crap coming over to PC.

Ok so the matchmaking part is what it is the game needs to find players i get it

But then once you get into the pre round area the game then often makes you wait a long time to add players but why arent they there in the first place?

It says waiting for players to join before every match this should not happen the pre round should only start once you have enough people dont make us wait extra

And then on top of that of course then we get the one minute countdown. In total it can take easily 5-10 minutes before you actually get into a game from the time you start matchmaking. That is way too long 3-4 minutes would be reasonable

People have complained about various game modes as long as different modes have existed. Some people hate TDM, others hate Rush and so on. The man was right, if you don’t like the BR mode, vote with your feet and don’t play it. If enough people feel the same EA will get the message by looking at how many (or few) are playing Firestorm. But if it is a success then you will have to accept that the customers have spoken and just deal with a game mode you dislike being popular.

Good luck with that.

In my eyes Firestorm and the main game are 2 totally different things. Don’t care for BR but Im not going to cry about it and blame it for the state BF5 is in.

I stopped reading after “I had no idea that once you die, you have to sit there and wait for the entire game to end before you can play again”.

And I like it when 50% jumps out the second they can…so please learn how to play BR and don’t be such a crywolf…

On the PS4 version of Fortnite you can respawn immediately after you die. Learn before commenting, dummy.

Were you playing solo? I had a feeling this would happen when solo. With a squad there I would hope they could distract the guy enough that you could survive.
