Firestorm is a massive overhaul of the mechanics and how the game plays, works, and feels. It’s not just another mode like conquest, rush, etc.
It’s nearly a complete overhaul, thus the reason you stated before, a different company is handling it.
No thanks, BR games suck.
BR games are for kids, hide for the majority of the game then hope to be victorious at the end, what a load of rubbish. BR has zero place in battlefield.
All the kids play COD so why not ruin that game instead?

I don’t think many people realize it’s not being done by Dice. A lot of “fix bugs” and “more maps” comments when that has nothing to do with the BR mode.
BR games are hit or miss with me. Some of them I enjoy (PUBG, Apex) others I don’t care for at all (Fortnite, Blackout). So it will be a wait and see how it plays.
I do think they’re making a mistake by not making it F2P. If they want to maximize player count they have to let players play it for free and make up for the cost through BOINS.
I think that BR is in fact a fun genre, don’t get me wrong…
but I’d agree it has NO PLACE in Battlefield. If you want to be successful in a game, do one thing, but do it really well. Not many things done in mediocrity.
Ok so I see your point, even though we have no confirmation of manpower being used elsewhere for this mode…
but one thing we can’t deny… BUDGET was definitely spent on BR when it could have been put into more content, maps, weapons, factions, etc.
If this game was pumping out good content every week we’d be singing a different tune.
don’t care for it at all. i will probably try it for a couple of rounds and never play again.
My opinion exactly I bought BF5 because it wasn’t a BR type game
Me and everyone I know don’t give a damn about BR mode. Lots of people don’t. Apex Legends basically shot down any possible chance for Firestorm to be successful
Nope. I never wanted it, but didn’t mind its inclusion, however, I really don’t appreciate that all of BFV seems to be built around mechanics for this mode. Attrition doesn’t really make sense until it’s in a BR context, as does squad revives, no spotting and instead getting a ping system etc.
Seems like BFV was built from the ground up to be BR, and then they just added Battlefield gamemodes to it, which is funny because they delayed BR.
You forgot opertaion ) They were quite good in BF1.
Battle Royale’s not my thing. I don’t care if they make one. I’d probably play it a time or two, but there are a LOT of game modes I never play. Like Team Deathmatch.
I’ve played a few rounds of Fortnite and Apex, but it just doesn’t do it for me. But then, if it did, I’d probably be playing those games and not this one.
If DICE made a new version of BF Vietnam, on the other hand, I’d be ALL OVER THAT !!! (Hear that DICE? We need another Battlefield Vietnam!!!)
BRs are already approaching their sell-by date. Apex Legends is probably the last one that will make a splash, and deservedly so, it’s really good…but the market is oversaturated as it is, and sad to say, it’s not like the Battlefield name is going to attract BR players from Fortnite and Apex. And a lot of Battlefield players don’t like BRs in the first place because we tend to be more objective-focused in our play.
I’m still sitting here shaking my head wondering why they did it.
BR could be fun with a battlefield spin on it. For that reason I am looking forward to what we get next month.
However, if I had my choice, I would not have asked for a BR mode before it was announced. Developing that mode is sure to have taken development time away from core modes and content creation.
Dice should have focused their efforts first on providing the best classic BF experience yet before they committed to new modes that are already very well served in the market.
If you think about it, Apex, fortnite, and pubg were all focused on creating a standalone BR game. What are the odds that Dice is able to come out with a competitive BR mode that makes the development time worth it when they were split working on many modes, both multiplayer and single.
So did anyone play BF1 Incursions ??? nobody asked for it but hey you get it free with BF1.
But 30+ million people bought PUBG on PC while the game was in alpha and they got to 3 million concurrent players at one point. And 80% of those players on PC were BF players. Well that was the percentage of my friends that played Battlefield in the past. Hand up if you bought it or played it ??? not me but 80% of my origin friends list did.
How about Fortnight, yes it is free to play and multi platform but over 100 million downloads and up to 14 million concurrent players…
Apex did 10 million downloads in the first week and cracked the million concurrent player mark in the first week as well.
You might not have asked for Battle Royal but the rest of the internet did. And if Firestorm gets gets some numbers they will trickle back to the rest of BFV’s multiplayer base just as they have back into Titanfall 2.
BR is a huge fad. Also with the release of Tetris 99 on the Switch every BR has been shot out the sky and nothing will be able to top it. EA is wasting its time with BR for BFV and like I said several times before they are going to get a very small percentage of players playing it out their core base. Also they are wasting a great studio to make it. Honestly they should be creating a NEW Burnout game or at least HD remaster collections of the awesome Burnout franchise.
Unfortunately firestorm isn’t F2P. You need to buy BFV to play it. That’s the big disconnect: the internet isn’t asking for paid BR.
Indifferent, but I’m not going to go on a crusade to say it shouldn’t be included. It’s obvious folks want it despite the BR fatigue some might be feeling.
I didn’t want Rush in the game considering we have 2 games modes that plays identical to it, and I can easily bring up ‘Rush is taking away content development!?!’ as many are inclined to use as an argument against BR. Despite it being mentioned many a times Firestorm is being developed independently by a different studio from the main game, but that fact seems to go ignored.
Battlefield already has the makings for a BR; large maps? Yes. Projectiles? Yup. Vehicles? Yep. Large player count? It’s there. The only major difference is weapons pick-ups (BF4 and BF1 had em) and the ability to respawn. All the assets are there.
If Firestorm manages to attract the PUBG and Fortnite crowds, and drum up more sales, which in-turn may increase content flow, then I welcome BR with open arms.
VOTE Mine UP if You want this !
but really Battlefield games have always been innovative , and i am interested in seeing this game mode.
