Excellent trailer btw.

Driving the tractor with a prosthetic whilst pulling my team will be :exploding_head:

Trailer is one thing, the current game is always something else. Just saying.
BR is still not my kind of game play.

Lol. @crabman169 has a theory;

There will be an unfair advantage from farming simulator players and actual farmers. Lmfao

Trailer is awesome, still not changing my mind. Not touching it. :slight_smile:

Regardless of whether firestorm will be good or not, I just don’t see how it will save the core game.

Tbh, I see it as a detriment to the core game whether firestorm succeeds or fails.

If firestorm is a huge success, it will only suck players out of the main game. They are going out of their way to prevent the splitting of the playerbase, but nothing seems to split the playerbase more than the idea of a battle royale game mode in battlefield.

If firestorm fails, it would be yet another nail in the coffin just like the practice range (which for whatever reason was hyped up to be something much more than it is) and combined arms (same). Seems like a lot of players are holding on to this game just to see if firestorm will be good, if they are disappointed, that may be their last straw.

No matter how I look at it, I just feel as if a map pack or expansion to the core game would benefit battlefield so much more than firestorm ever could.

I will definitely try it. Cant imagine myself liking it but i will at least give it a try.

Ha Ha! Epic!

I live in Lincoln and they are oh so true!

All the other game modes were from put in from earlier titles with some tweaks, before Visceral finishes up BR. I think we’re likely to see some (all?) of the maps we’re playing now, in Firestorm. Notice that Narvik is in today’s Firestorm trailer.

They still haven’t introduced BF coins, and have held back all the cosmetics, until Firestorm is ready.

Why haven’t they increased the level cap? They don’t want players at 100+ when they try to bring in the real player base for Firestorm. They don’t want to scare them off. No RSP yet? They want to see what happens to playerbase after Firestorm first, to decide if RSP is viable.

Pretty much.

I think that that “Firestorm” will be like a staw fire. For about one or two weeks a lot of people will play and then everyone is sick of it. I am not going to try out that BR-mode because I expect a lot of annoying little kids to play it. If you look in the comment section of some Youtube videos about “Firestorm” you can already see a lot of obvious kids commenting there. Also people will be annoyed by the imbalance quite quickly since there are things like tanks in this game mode. A well organized squad possessing one or two tanks will easily steamroll all the other players. Maybe “Firestorm” will generate a little hype, however it will definitely not be lasting and probably less fun than the trailer promises it to be.

Unfortunately, those “annoying kids” are 30-45 year old “adults.”

If DICE doesn’t do something different, Firestorm’s biggest problem (on PC) will be cheating.

This guy knows the truth. Everybody will play a couple rounds just to see what it’s all about. Some will like it and some will not.

That’s a brilliant trailer. My favourite band and favourite song, too. I really hope the gameplay lives up to it.

I liked the way they parachuted in. “Move it!”

I hope they are prepared for an influx of cheating. These battle royal games are a magnet for cheating. Apex is a nightmare for it. Seems like it’s partly what these BR games are designed for. I hope I’m wrong.
