So much time and effort has been wasted on a mode that is not wanted.

You keep saying that but if you look at the response they’re getting on Twitter you will see that you’re wrong. There are the doubters like you but the majority is overwhelmingly positive. Seems to be the forums have the most negativity for the mode, but it’s only a tiny fraction of the overall community.

BF 5 youtube reveal trailer has 200k more dislikes to likes currently. So I wouldnt put the cart in front of the horse on a game that has been all but a failure to investors and players. Two seperate groups of interests tied to purchasing power which is based on this games literal flaws through out its entire life. But they released a trailer and all is better now? Whew

My only positive to Firestorm is DICE not developing it. So I’d imagine this is a coorporate pilot run for the potential handover of the franchise.

Where did you get that 200k more dislikes number? Sounds made up or cherrypicked, which is in no way surprising. On the official trailer video on YouTube from the official Battlefield account the video currently has 31,000 LIKES and only 2,700 dislikes.

Battlefield 5 Official Reveal Trailer

This one.

The thing is, the other game modes are at least believable in a ww2 sense, wheras Firestorm is a complete rip off fantasy scenario.

It’s a video game, it’s ALL fantasy!

[HardAimedKid]

I hope it’s amazing, if it is I will not ignore it.

[Head3masher]

It is not realistic sure, as this is a game… but is it authentic? Not at all and this is the real shame here. It is made for someone else.

This firestorm thing in Battlefield.. It’s a bit like if Elton John did a heavy metal album.. his loyal fans would hate it, and it certainly would not appeal to the heavy metal fans as he would be seen as a pretender.

Ah! That’s the one from May 2018. The game wouldn’t actually come out for another 6 months and everyone is raging about wimmin in the game (and how it disrespects their grandparents or something as if making an entertainment product in general didn’t already do that. There’s no way to make a game, which is for fun, about war, which is horrible and brutal, respectful. Anyone who says otherwise is intellectually dishonest. But I digress…)

I thought we were talking about the new trailer that dropped this morning. So, cherry-picking it is!

nobody is cherry picking, i offered a video to counter the “oh look its trending” and has more likes here so must be true vibe.

I also offered a Deluxe order one that had more likes than dislikes, but thats not the case for most deluxe purchasers. They got hosed

Well, as a Deluxe purchaser myself, we can agree there. We got hosed.

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.”

the average gamer is 30+ years old so why is that surprising?

Where did I say it was surprising? I already knew that to be true.

because you mentioned age as if adults cant complain, this game is +18 anyway so everyone posting anything on it is an adult. if there was a person that put 2 hours into positive, and another that put 2 hours of negative, its the same thing. So its kinda kettle meet pot remark you seemed to imply. Maybe I missed you intent with the remark? which was?

You did. I didn’t say adults can’t complain. I referenced adults complaining like children, which is how 90% of the “complaints” come across.

its cliche, yet my comment still stands. there are literal review trailers and videos of grown men acting childish with excitement about this game. no difference at all except perspective.

I don’t really watch reviews, so I haven’t seen it. That said, I would comment on those children too.

The best thing about this game mode is that if it succeeds the battlefield franchise will literally die out entirely and no one seems to get why. Why make another battlefield game, when you can just design some crappy BR game that will last forever and only ever needs upgraded maps, some sparkly guns and some SKINNNZZZ. You better hope this game mode fails so battlefield can get back to being a tactical shooter, with vehicles and good map design. Or this franchise will never recover.

[Zviko0]

I just hope Firestorm stays away from ToW objectives.

Highly doubt that, if it succeeds then there it will mostly become a seperate game. Just like Apex Legends and Titanfall, same universe, difference games.

It’s EA we’re talking about so why sell a $60 game that have the iconic Battlefield franchise with a seperate Battle Royale mode done in a Battlefield way instead of selling 2 of its?

pretty sure its already confirmed. someone went through all the files and has a good write up on reddit

Confirmed what? That we will have to play it to complete ToW objectives?

[Ceph777]

I will for sure try it out. If its a total train wreck I will wait and read reviews and patch notes.

[KPNuts74]

Not me, can’t wait!

You can highly doubt what you like but there are facts involved in this. Look at EA, do you think that company wants to spend money developing something so complex and balanced or do you think they would rather design something with minimal resources that only needs a new map once in a blue moon and can sell endless skins and emotes? Hmm i wonder guys what would EA (knowing their history) choose. Hmmmm, this requires lots of deep thought!!!

Battle Royal for me is extremely boring.
Firstly you can spend a few minyutes waiting to start.. then with a bad landing spot be dead in seconds (even worse with the hardcore ttd).. game over. Yawn.

Then there is the staying out of sight. Hiding tactic. Boring.

Exactly
