this just reminds everyone how battlefield would be the game of games with mod support. aside from the high quality map this feels like a quick mod tbh. not a bad thing considering how simple of a concept BR is but makes you want to do it yourself but better and with more love put in…and ofc use this map for all kinds of awesome new game modes. but oh well…
They’re not even doing that, the cosmetic/loot box/microtransaction stuff that would make them money has been non-existent
I’m glad you still like CQ and are enjoying BR. Originally I thought you meant all core modes were stale. I still believe they can make CQ fun if they do it right. But it’s troubling times right now, I’ve never seen the hit registration so bad in all my time on BF, which is as extensive as yours. So BR, a game mode I don’t care for comes as no consolation to what is an awful update.
Yea same thing i just meant some sort of bag to indicate someone was killed that you open and loot normally
Reminiscent of the Skid Loader in BF3 and BF4.
This.
Should the V rocket cause friendly fire?
What money will be made? People won’t buy this game for the BR, whoever’s going to buy this game already has, plus the new mode has been implemented so poorly I doubt it will get any highlight, no lobby’s, low player base, long wait time, terrible loot system etc
I hate the looting, how can i tell what gun I am holding and what i ammo I need? It all just gets clumped together and its so tough to sort through trying to see what you need. I HATE IT!! I wont be playing firestorm unless the looting and inventory gets a full overhaul, learn from Apex and PUBG, jeezzz.
Holy ¯_(ツ)_/¯, a full 3 hours and im about to get into my first game
Yea, also agree, they should put DEAD BODYs into a BAG or CRATE, simple loot system
Agree, trying to pick up sniper ammo only to swap weapons.
I started to recognize what ammo types look like, but most the time it is under something else.
Also having to hold E for Medium and heavy armor. I get it for safes and stuff. But in a BR looting should be quick for things on the ground.
South America need some servers… We cant play with 200 ping. Matchmaking put us in US servers… it’s unfair. I’ve waited so long for this BR and now i cant play.
plz fix it
I think we can demand more from EA/Dice than what we got with BFV. The game still is ridden with bugs and issues and that is just not good enough.
I’ve been playing computer games for 35 years and BF-games has had some of the lowest quality of all games I’ve played (BF4 was really awful at launch as well).
Nothing is perfect, but BFV was a disgrace for Dice and EA. If people spend money on a game, they are entitled to complain, if the product is full of bugs or doesn’t deliver on promised features.
The forums are full of a lot of childish whining (which is awful/stupid), but unfortunately Dice/EA has brought this whining on themselves.
I agree about the loot system is cluttered and very difficult to pick up what you want as it’s all bunched up.
There is way too much waiting around - matchmaking - pre match and jumping in.
I think it could do with more players as I found myself running around without finding anyone else for long periods - felt lonely.
It’s incredibly boring - went back to Conquest Devastation to get some action.
I’d give it 2 out of 10. At least I gave it a go and you know what it hasn’t changed my opinion of Battle Royale - I just don’t enjoy it.
Probably never played a BR I’d rather play apex or pubg compared to this just now so many issues but imma give it some time. Takes like 5 mins to find a squad game and the matching doesn’t work properly either
Being an older gamer, I like the fact I am familiar with the attachments you can get in Firestorm. Apex and others, so many different types of things you can pick up just makes my old brain hurt. That being said, also being an older gamer, BR’s are just not for me. Tried this for a little while, seemed to work fine, but the lack of enemy contact, until, bam, I’m dead and having to go to another game, just isn’t my cup of tea(see how old I am, “cup of tea”). So for me, I hope more maps come out for the base games and I will be happy.
It sadens me to say that this is one of the worst game modes i’ve ever played. When you revealed that BF5 was going to have battle royale mod, and there are already so many great battle royale games out there. I like how you try to make your own game with a twist, but there is nothing wrong to look at what is working and then trying to find a compromise, instead of just releasing an unfinished game mode. And the biggest problem with this is that people have to buy the full game to get the dissapointment, instead of trying it for free like the rest of the games out there. And dont get me wrong, the rest of BF5 is absolutely wonderful, but this game mode, which has been hyped and the reason why many bought the game in the first place, its awful.
So whats wrong?
1: The looting system is absolutely horrific, it needs to be smooth. Look at apex for inspiration
2: The time it takes from loading screen into firestorm untill you actually hit the ground on the map is ridiculous. For a game with no respawns and wait 5 minutes to just get into the game is just really really not worth it. (im not talking about the time to actually find a server, just loading to actually gameplay). Remove the lobby and let them spawn directly into the planes!
3: Its too slow. We never expected the game to be fastpaced like Apex, but in more of the direction of PUBG. But this is actually even slower and you get bored by walking around. Increase the maximum amount of players or decrease mapsize (this is the cheap fix, increase players instead)
4: Bad optimization. In normal BF5 games ive got 140-200fps, and in firestorm i get down to 50? whats up with that? We often compare games to the BF franchise and say its too bad that its not as fluent as all the battlefield games. You are better than this.
5: The gap between someone with armor and someone without is too big. Of course should the armored guy have an advantage, but the amount of soaking that thing does when compared to someone without armor is poorly balanced.
6: Give us some more info while dropping, or make some adjustment so the game gets more interesting. Give us speed, height etc, so people can find out what technique is the best to drop, without having to rejoin 50times and go through your loading + lobby process again. Also, maybe do it with a twist, implement winds and wind directions that can affect how your jump goes, that would be a nice twist of the dropping phase.
7: Let the gun be looted loaded. The looting itself is already a disaster, so atleast give us ammo loaded straight away.
8: How can you let a dead person spectate in 3rd person when the game is in 1st? Extremely unbalanced and quite shocking you would implement it that way. Let it be 1st person all the way!
Hope you read this and atleast find some of my criticism good enough for you.
You dont have a battlefronts all over again (but when you have the same developers for battlefronts and this game, you might actually just suit yourself)
Congrats!
Here’s hoping that it will last more than 3 minutes.
Short and sweet: guns should have full magazines when you pick them up; matchmaking has to be improved for people in low-player regions (stop putting us OOR!); and get rid of that lens flare ASAP, as if it ain’t hard to see people as it is…
