The difference is in core BFV I chose to gimp myself. In BR I dropped in the same place as last time where I got an STG44 and I found a bolt action. I don’t use bolt actions cos I suck at them. Search other houses, med pack, med pack, armour plate, pistol ammo, pistol ammo, grenade, med pack, med pack, Jesus should I open a dispensary? Panzerfaust? OK handy against tanks. Ooh look a Sten and dead from the guy with the G43. Welp that was fun.
Duos for firestorm PLZZZZ!!
the game is quite fun but …
- Matchmaking or you can call it “squad fillup” is totally broken when you play with a mate and want to fillup the squad with 2 other people. Many people on reddit complain about that.
- Clipping issues with the loot. sometimes it is impossible to grab something.
- no lootboxes so we are back to 2.
Only played a hand full of games and had a canny on last night with mates getting to last 5.
I doubt it will ever be my ‘go to’ mode but I’ll be happy enough to do the ToW assignments and occasionally jump in with mates for a change.
Im still getting used to Firestorm but i dont get why when u join a Squad game unless you already made squads with friends the game does not drop u into a squad u just gota survive by your self which is a let down when u like to play Squads but none of your friends are playing.Pls fix
i would play this way more if it had duos. me and my friend don’t want to play with randoms and so we’d rather not play than being forced together with others. we’ve tried a few games but it’s pointless, the randoms just do their own thing and play solo anyways while we face 4-man teams so it just sucks.
if they remove duos later then this mode is over for us i think. not gonna be forced with randoms constantly and have to play 2v4 the majority of the games.
It’s the same as everyother BR game by the looks of it. Just as tedious and boring with far too much loading. I guess I’m just too old to “get” the mode…I Never liked 1 life modes in any game too.
Played a few games:
- landed with a buddy at some distant location, got insta knifed when opening the first door because 2 guys who reached it faster camped the house
- got into a fight with a guy camping a house, but luckily I had airstrike to take care of it
- had 1 round where I went into a building, killed 2 guys with shotty, got shot from the next building, managed to pick up a dropped sniper rifle, but the bullets were lying underneath the other gun, so I couldn’t get the bullets to shoot back… managed to finally kill everyone there, got mowed down by a camper lying on his back devastation style under a tree on some rocks
- finally got my hands on a pink ZH-29 (I have a lot of kills with this in the regular modes so feeling confident). Got shot at by a camper bunker, but luckily I hit the headshots, went to get his loot, got killed by the camper waiting next to the bunker
These are a few of my experiences that sort of summon it up,
- campers every time seem to cause pain
- not getting a proper gun is always a bad experience in a BR game, which is why I hate playing erangel or miramar on pubg, but that game allows you to carve the weapon to your own taste, here you just have to get extra lucky to find a weapon specced to your liking.
- I thought the loot system wasn’t that bad, until I couldn’t pick up those sniper bullets at all
- I don’t like the inventory management or that you have to swap stuff to use it, games like apex or pubg allow custom hotkeys for all items or a spin-wheel system to choose e.g. any grenade without having to swap the right grenade to the right inventory spot
- Duo’s could be quite good, because the TTK going against 4 players is real tough and solo campers just are a pain, did I mention campers already
And also, why don’t they allow other game modes on smaller parts of the new large map ? That part with the 3 storie buildings is different from anything in the other maps for instance.
Make DUO mode or FIXthe queue. When you queue with TWO players it’s impossible to find the game. You have to lock the squad in order to get in, which is unfair vs other 4-player-squads. If you queue with 3 guys you get the 4th instantly. So, make the duo mode or fix the squad queue for two players!!!
This, I’m so sick & tired of getting it shoved down our throats everywhere… :s Shytstorm.
It sure is ridiculous, half of the comments here don’t even make any sense without any order or topic headlines.
.
I created a post with the heading “Firestorm Parachute Free Look”, and in body I asked Does anyone know how to do it and what button is it?
But now it just looks like an irrelevant comment and I’m talking to myself.
The mode are actually quite fun. Looting system is a total mess, how this was going through testing i dont know. But typical EA to go there own ways. Killing a enemy and then looting quickly for something is just impossible in he currant state. You always have people say “Its good enough” but they must be secretly employed by DICE or something.
Other thing i dont really understand, where is the KD, Matches played, Win%, nowhere to be seen. Its so lazy to dont have those stats in a BR game mode. I want to know how many matches i play, what my KD are etc. Even that is enough for people not play this game for a long time, people want to know there stats.
And whats up with people playing squad and not speaking and pinging, go play solo or speak…
if i wanted BR i wouldnt play BFV.
give us back squad conquest and rush.
Sorry i was directed from here -Any chance of DICE increasing the number of players from 64 in Firestorm? - the link is supposed to be for Main Discussion Thread .. :o
shotgun against the knife. 2 shots with a shotgun and smooth down. Great game.
i agree it’s a little clumped when things drop on top of the item you are trying to grab but it makes grabbing much needed ammo in a heated situation better than if we had an inventory list.
The only ‘1 life’ game that appealed to me was ‘Breaking Point’ a zombie survival mod with factions for ARMA3. When you died, you could ‘rejoin’ the server and retrieve your gear if you were fast & lucky enough.
.
I miss that game… the sheer desolateness nature of wondering around in the middle of nowhere, the ambient noises of just the leaves rustling in the wind, the non-stop tsjirping of cicadas on dusty barren planes, keeping an eye out for a good spot to survive they night when coming across abandonment settlements.
by setting ping limit at 120 you ignore the people who buy your game and play it because of a bit higher ping
I don’t see this problem in any other game.
please turn back ping limit at 150
Does anyone know if they have mentioned if they will change the minimap to that of the main game (roatates as you turn)?
I can’t get my head around why its not the same. So confusing going from the main game to Firestorm and back again.
Battlefield has always in the past and up to this point been about all out war, simulated battlefields, armies fighting for control.
This is the polar opposite of that.
