“UPDATE:
If you’re having issues with matchmaking as a full squad, don’t click PLAY NOW until your squad is full. Otherwise, whatever squad you have at that moment will be the squad. We’re aware of this confusion and working to address it. Thanks.”

Me and my buddy duo queued last night, never got any random people to fill up the 2 empty spots. Are you supposed to find 2 randoms and invite them manually ? what gives ?

If you queued as a 2 in squads, then the space should be filled with randoms

thanks for respons, however, after 3 minutes without any fillers it put us into a game as only a duo

This happened to me as well , waited for the squad to fill, next thing I know I’m dropping solo, fun round.

Did it happen every time?

The high tier weapons and the mid tier weapons could be more…scarce.

When seeing all these Firestorm-Threads I can’t wait for threads from BR-only players crying about vehicles and everything else in the standard BF gamemodes^^

I haven’t ignored it, I’ve been enjoying the crap out of it. Is it perfect? No. But it is very good.

I’ve been a BF player for a long time, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy other games (like BRs) too.

Guys! We need servers for South America please! We can’t play with over 200 ping! It’s horrible and gunfights aren’t even fair. The game looks great and we do have servers for all the other modes but this one. Firestorm is impossible to play for us right now and we’ve been waiting so much for this mode. Please!

Tried playing what everyone is so hyped about - Was my first and last time playing BR.

A total RNG campfest. I don’t understand why was it necessary to add those stupid RNG systems. I’ve heard it was going to be fair and even fight, it’s anything but that. People who are lucky to find pink weapons instantly get an advantage over everyone else.

Why couldn’t they leave all guns at default settings or apply certain specs to them, or just allow players to pick the specialization they want for them so that when player drops and finds a gun, that gun will have his specializations applied.

Same goes for armor. You could go 1 v 1 against someone and they will win only because they sucked up more bullets than you because of higher level armor.

Total mess of a mode.

They didn’t add RNG, it’s a standard part of BR. Everything you’re complaining about is just how BR is. If that’s not for you, fine, different people like different things, but you’re criticising the game mode for adhering to what BR is by default. This isn’t Firestorm’s fault.

Watching Doc play it looks kinda fun. If I had 3 friends that play when I do I would maybe consider giving this a try. I do like the firestorm burning through buildings. That looks cool.

Played Solos for a few hours last night and map plays and looks great but my biggest complaint is the Looting/Inventory system is awful. Really killed my experience, Wont play again till they sort this out it’s that bad.

It’s a bit weird to play a Battle Royal mode then complain about it having Battle Royal elements (Ie finding randomized weapons)

Still different from the “core” gamemodes. But let’s wait and see

I can’t believe this, but FireStorm is a bit bloody good!!

I’ve been bored senseless playing BFV and moved on about a month ago, just tried a few games on BR and I think it’s fantastic.

The map is huge but the circle closes in at a decent pace so your not just wondering aimlessly.

The net code seems like it can actually handle the TTD in the handful of games I played.

Love that we have a BFV game mode that doesn’t automatically have everyone running around as assault armed with 3x scopes. You have to consider the ranges you can engage from.

The new health, healing and armour takes a bit of getting used to at first but I already prefer it to the main game, I’d forgotten what it was like getting into gun fights instead of just mowing down whoever you see first.

I think maybe the item pick up from downed enemies could use a little work, but this is a minor gripe and I’m sure I’ll get the hang of looting in time.

All in all I’m completely impressed and BR games usually bore me senseless. I thought I was done with BFV, nice work Criterion.

Edit- Put more time into the mode and I was wrong about the NetCode, it’s just as bad as the main game.

Firestorm - a waste of resources that were taken away from the production of content for BF5 multiplayer. The firestorm is a very boring PUBG like battleroyal. In a very poor, intuitively incomprehensible interface, disgusting system of enemy loot. Absolutely disgusting weapon system - a system with given characteristics, upgrades, sights.

I summarize together the boring Firestorm and the Course of the War for 2019 - unfortunately DICE your game is dead.

@llPhantom_Limbll

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

Read it and weep: https://dm.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/b4nq49/challenges_for_tides_of_war_chapter_3_uncovered/

@MrCrecer13
You got that wrong actually, DICE are creating the content for BFV almost 100%

Criterion ( a different developer ) created Firestorm for BFV and have been for quite some time.

[Birkhoff9200]

Some considerations after having made 6 games yesterday (3 in solo and 3 in team): given that I play at Apex and find it much more balanced, I would say that there are many things to file in Firestorm: I would start from the loot, but the thing that most makes me angry are the campers. The only way to win seems to be to camper and I don’t like it very much. Moreover, the firearm, when you are KO, is rather useless as you cannot aim and shoot. The basic idea of ​​proposing a BR with environmental destructiveness is certainly fantastic (also because in competitors like PUBG, Apex there are no environments to be destroyed) BUT it MUST be better implemented all

Restarting the game seems to fix this after each game !

[SithMetal71]

not too impressed, had a couple of rounds, got a few kills, but not for me.
Should have spent the time adding new maps for CQ, same as other BR modes, it’s a pointless exercise that shows no real skill. Pure luck comes to play alot of the time.
