Not going anywhere near it, not my type of game. ---

I do not think I am interested in playing firestorm cause that gameplay is not Battlefield. However I might get interested in spectating ---

The gameplay is superior to PUBG and Fartnite… which isn’t saying much. Looting is a disaster… I can’t believe someone tested it and said “yeah, that’ll do." Unbelievable. Otherwise it’s just like all of the other BR titles. Camp and run and camp. I don’t get it. ---

I’m going to suggest an idea. Why not do something different and change up the same old BR formula?? For squad Firestorm, how about you get rid of the planes and parachuting down, get rid of the pre-round hanger and just have all squads randomly spawn together around the map like a regular game. One load screen, normal countdown timer and no theatrics. It would quicken things up considerably and everyone will be on the same playing field. ---

At this point I just hope weekly ToW assignments aren’t tied to BR. Otherwise, I couldn’t care less. ---

I never did a BR game, and so I joined it, my second match I already felt incredible bored of it, like, its quiet, no atmosphere(lots of particles though) no soul, it felt so dull and i practically fell asleep. ---

1. The looting system is for lack of a better term horrible.. 2. Weapon presets and the rebalance done to them to make the recoil worse is bad 3. Snipers spawn way too much should just be purple items imo 4. The biggest problem and what’ll keep me from not playing is that you dont let the inventory just work freely, why are we being capped out at 3 armor plates or a certain number of naids and health. If I have the space just let us carry it like every other BR. The reason this is such a problem is because I’ve nearly always been starved of armor further into the matches and it’s not fun because I know if I just camp and not play aggressive I wont have that problem. So basically battlefields catering to bad casuals/noobs yet again. Aggressive good players wanna run around and fight but if you take damage while doing so youll eventually have no reserves because everyone is only carrying 3 plates. So if the enemy is healing mid fight that’s using the plates you could have looted and on top of that the vest you take off enemy’s is broken already (unplated) so playing aggressive is out if you wanna keep your armor. 5. Besides that stuff could be a decent BR won my first solo and some squads but like someone else put it to me this BR would have been great a year ago or something but it’s already outdated. And I couldn’t agree more. 6. I dont understand the business side of this when you have something like apex with features people love and say every battle royal should have, and even have the fortnight GIANT copy what apex did, like why are you guys not on board with that?? It makes no sense, it’s really disappointing. Yes I’m saying they should be copying the two most popular BRs if they had itd be a much better experience with the ping system/revives/looting just everything. 7. I do have to say it’s better than pubg imo but definitely far less smooth compared to apex. ---

I dont see any major Twitch streamers playing this for more than 2 days long, if only for the first day because it’s new stuff. And then get will immediately back to Apex because Firestorm is crap. Apex is all skill even fornight not that I play that one but that’s why people love it. Idk why dice keeps going further and further from competitive play. Huge disappointment I agree but I’m not surprised dice just goes down hill more and more. They really should have consulted Shroud if they just listened to him he alone could have made this 1000× better lol ---

i’ll totally ignore BR. Don’t like this type of games. If they’ll go hard for ToW with Firestorm i’ll just pass the whole chapter i guess. ---

They’re looking into it. Maybe this will help If no one is online when searching for a conquest game in my region, using matchmaking, it searches for ± 2 min and then starts a local server with just me in it waiting till there are enough players to start the round ![Y1Zt2eh.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/8/a/8adbb6a4c7364fbeb475640be1e190f8ae5ce257.jpeg) ![9yIWKhq.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/f/5/f5c1237e4328931d88f899a9564839ea4f8e5d40.jpeg) Everyone was just waking up so there were 0 servers in my region ![y0ZnP8n.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/e/9/e96f70f3a76455c13ddffd960ba95da25317d1e3.jpeg) With firestorm matchmaking will join a international server with 195 ping usually after 1 min ![gvK5RaT.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/4/2/424c28cacdbb64ba859395fffcba68af522b850d.jpeg) I’m not sure how firestorm is set up or what triggers a server to start?

Think there’s as much loot in solo as in squads. If I jump into an empty area with 4 buildings on solo I can start run around usually fully equipped. If the same amount of loot is split by 4 it’s just not enough. Either reduce the number of loot in solo or increase in squads plz. ---

Agree the thread is a incoherent mess.The mods on here have OCD. There are way too many stickies too. A Firestorm section is a good idea as the game-mode is so different to the rest (even if Jeff Braddock disagrees) ---

Played 3 solo rounds last night. First round was killed within 30secs of landing (great start! didnt even have a gun), the other two lasted about 2 mins and 5 mins respectively, with a kill in each. Its the first BR game i have played and have to say it’s not really my cup of tea. With the quick TTK you just have no time to react, which in normal BF, isnt such a biggy as you just respawn back in, but in Firestorm it obviously means game over and another 3/4/5 min wait for a new game. No thanks. I kind of like the idea and may try again with Squad Firestorm at the weekend if i have the time to mic up (if the other half and kids are out) but otherwise its currently not a mode i would return to. ---

Well it’s a fun little mode and overall it’s well done, but it’s just not want I like to play in a Battlefield Game. After my 2-3 hours yesterday I was already done with it and I don’t feel engaged with it at all. Maybe 1-2 hours from time to time but that’s about it. Battlefield stands for epic, huge scale battles, not Battle Royale mode. It’s just one more thing DICE is wasting resources on… Dice just needs to focus all its resources on developing new maps, new factions and some new weapons/vehicles from time to time. No stupid Combined Arms crap, no silly game modes which are unbalanced as hell, no Battle Royale, just core elements which made the franchise great! I mean by now BF5 has almost more game modes than maps… all of them are on the same old boring damn maps… so tired of it… ---

I have found servers over and over again, love the mode, just need to get used to it, because this is my first BR game ever haha I would rather play BF V BR than any other.
