I paid for the deluxe edition of this game and so did my wife. One of the reasons was duos firestorm as advertised. One of my biggest reasons for being angry is there was no notification that this was going to happen. Also, to your point of not wanting fans to be irritated because they have to wait 5-8 minutes to play…my wife and I would rather wait ten(which never happened) and actually get to play the game mode we want to play.
Well you’ll have at least two less players playing Firestorm. It may not be much in the grand scheme of things but the player counts must be abysmal if your thought process is “Duo’s is here to stay” to “duos isn’t played that much it’s gone.” Maybe this game is dying. So make it die faster with less choice and content. Brilliant.
- This i**s one big joke. Duo is a mode that is the only choice for a part of players. Why should I play against a friend against four players, this is not cool. The additional mode does not cost and allows you to choose what suits you best. I never had a problem to wait after 20 minutes until there is free space on the server. together with zyjjomym we did not see a problem to wait 5 minutes for the game. And you took it without asking for a sentence. Why do you do something against players? Every creator without a recipient will be lost.
It’s not that people aren’t playing duos.
Seems like people aren’t playing Firestorm in general.
I had no problem finding duo games on the afternoon. Always got straight into games. Why have ‘‘special weekends etc’’?
Just make it permanent like you guys promised us after the voting you guys made. Don’t see the point of removing it.
‘’ the third option always available reduced matchmaking pools and increased matchmaking times’’ I don’t buy that. I got straight into Duo games, so it shouldn’t be any problem to get into games fast in Solo or Squads if this is so much more popular like you say.
Please listen to the community and bring back Duo’s and fix your lobby countdown while you’re on it. Counting down from 60 sec when lobby is full is a waste of time.
but why do you have to wait for 6 min to get into a Quad game mode and when i wanted to play duo with my buddy it only took 2 min? That isn’t because there are not enough players in the duo game mode. Every other Battle Royale game had Duo mode and the only game that says it doesn’t work is BFV? And you say the experience suffered. Is there a treat on the forum I don’t know about? Does the community say that the experience suffured or was it a group of guys or girls in your office that made that statement?
I dont get why they don’t take of the solo mode for this game. The staple of battlefield has always been teamwork, teamwork n teamwork. Dont make any sense to get rid of duos instead of solos. Do any of y’all even play solo mode on here? Storm camp galore smh
I have a better idea, just fix the low hanging fruit that is driving players away from the game. Get rid of the lobby, fix looting, add more weapons occasionally etc etc. You’re not addressing the “real” problem by removing this segmentation in hopes to get matchmaking times down. The root issues are still there…just fix them and your player counts will go up and inversely proportional to that, you’re matchmaking times will go down.
This just shows how mis-managed this whole game has been from the reveal trailer to today. It is appalling to me how poorly everything has been executed with BFV.
This latest move (removing duos) is just an example of pure laziness…it’s easier to remove that segmentation so that the 400 people who play this now only have two options rather than to actually spend some time and effort to fix what’s broken and increase from 400 to 1000.
Shame on you, shame on you all. What saddens me the most is you guys just don’t learn, you keep making horrendous decisions after horrendous decisions.
I do. It’s my prefered mode. Don’t have to rely on anyone.
Actually won a match yesterday:
but why do you have to wait for 6 min to get into a quad game mode and when i wanted to play duo with my buddy it only took 2 min? That isn’t because there are not enough players in the duo game mode, but there are in the quad game mode. Every other battle royale game has Duo on their mode select and the only game it doesn’t work is on BFV?
This is the most stupid thing I´ve heard. Bye bye firestorm.
Its a mistake again, put duos please, listen to the comunity and dont do those bad things in the game, it was ok whith duos, now , matchmaking takes so long…
stop touching the game like this game should go back development stage and stop selling
I don’t usually leave forum posts, but the decision to remove duos from Firestorm is goddamn .
I, like many consumers, bought this game specifically to play with a friend on duos mode. We played the game hard for the last week and enjoyed getting back into gaming. For once, DICE did something great - but now that has been removed and for what reason? We tried squads before and didn’t enjoy it, we found that players either did their own thing, didn’t have a microphone or didn’t speak English, so we will certainly not be playing squads. Due to this, we refuse to play the game and have both uninstalled it. We will most definitely be demanding a refund.
Let’s see if the analytical team pick up a decrease in traffic over the next few days. Great job DICE. You’ve it up once again.
Lol. I’ve played ALOT of Duo Firestorm with a friend. We never had an issue finding a game in EU. It took us 1-2 minutes MAX to find the game, usually it took less than a minute. Obviously it took longer if we played at night, but even then we found matches within 5 minutes.
Its just ridiculous, there was no warning, no notification or anything. You just removed it. We were planning on Playing a lot of Firestorm during our 4 days off work now, but here comes the surprise, we log in today and there is no Duo option. Thanks Dice.
Playing in a squad with less than 3 pre-made is useless because 2 blueberries usually go about their day and die instantly. And winning 2v4 is near impossible.
Jut another confirmation that listening to the community is the last thing you do.
LOL, what are you doing to this game? I payed money for this and I want to play effin Duo mode. Limited time? Are you kidding me? Bring back the mode or this was the last EA game i will ever buy
Nooooooooo.
Please bring duo back.
Duo is perfect for me and another player, but usually my usual playing buddy. The two of us in harmony … until first contact that is with other players then we usually die lol.
Please bring it back. BIG BF fan here.
So this realy means FIRESTORM is going to be dead soon. Dice just pay to streamers to make Firestorm more popular and your matchmaking time
will be reduce to less than min!
I was playing most DUOS and SOLO.
Bring back DUOS or RIP Firestorm.
