Given that Firestorm is being developed by Criterion, the impact on DICE resource will be minimal.

There were quite a few threads wanting a BR type mode awhile back.

You will also need closer to 1000 votes to be considered representative.

That said, upvote THIS comment if you really don’t care either way.

Would somebody kindly upvote it on my behalf as you can’t upvote your own posts!

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.

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.

I don’t think you quite understand how a production budget works.

We are getting weapons almost weekly. Maps is another thing, but that’s an internal issue with management, as we’ve seen the first map already had a redesign. What’s the point of dumping out poorly designed maps one after another? Would you prefer that?

I don’t think we’ll get any substantial content until the game is running as intended under the hood, and there’s absolutely no evidence that the inclusion of BR is detracting from any of it.

Factions? That’s also a design choice how Dice decides to implement it. Rumor has it it’ll just be skins, and it’ll stick to the Axis vs Allies.

What what other sort of content? Firestorm is content. Combined Arms is content. Game modes is content. It’s asinine to insinuate one type of content is minimizing content overall.

I have played the other BR games and I will play this one…As I haven’t seen any game play or met anyone who has played it I cant say if its going to be good or bad.
Its out soon and I have paid for it so I will be there…BF Firestorm may turn out to be a great game.
If its poor I will move on just like everyone else…So yes looking forward to it.

Cheers, have an upvote back.

I fail to see why there is uproar over its inclusion.

Although a bit bigger, Firestorm is just like the plethora of other game modes DICE have tried over the years. If players like it they’ll play it if not, it’ll go the way of the likes of Supply Drop (shudders).

But hey, that’s just me…

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.

But it is just another mode, what else is it as it is not a seperate game.

And what mechanics are being completely overhauled? Have you played it?

DICE have ‘overhauled’ mechanics to suit game modes many times, the most notable in this case is perhaps BF4’s Scavenger.

Scavenger, from a weapon/ammo point of view had BR mechanics before BR was a thing so you can’t say attrition is included solely because of Forestorm.

And don’t say fortifications is included solely for BR as the ‘community’ have wanted the ability to create machine gun nests and foxholes etc for some time.

Whether ‘we’ wanted one or not is irrelevant, fact is, many in the ‘community’ wanted a BR mode and although some didn’t, we are getting one and that won’t change despite your poll.

To coin a phrase, “IF you don’t like it, don’t play it”!

[StormSaxon]

Pointless and not wanted.
Played PUBG and Fortnite and found dull. Fortnite is just PUBG for children.
And I don’t understand why you’d want to bring it to any proper fps game.

[CaptHotah]

I can’t wait for Firestorm so i can carry my squad to victory like in all the other game modes and let them know in the chat at the end they suck

[Vycinas2]

BR is probably fun for kids or campers. I ve tried apex and deleted it within 30 mins.

[Jesus4000]

I don’t like battle royale.
But I wouldn’t mind having a BR mode in BFV.
I would probably try it, even if that’s just to confirm that I still don’t like BR; but it’s not like that such a mode would make me abandon the game, as there are plenty of other modes I enjoy.

[VOLBANKER]

Makes no sense at all to have this poll considering BR is coming either way.

[EdwinSpangler]

Honestly I cant say if I want it or not.. I certainly cant judge it till I try it.. And I really do wanna try it..

[Ploodovic]

I haven’t tried it yet, therefore I haven’t formed my opinion about it.

In general, though, I oppose the notion that ‘because no one asked for it, therefore it shouldn’t be in the game’. Did anyone ask for Operations or Frontlines, in BF1? Or were they just two game modes, that DICE tried out, that turned out to be popular?

I don’t mind a developer that’s trying new things, rather than just doing the same old. If we never got new game modes, we wouldn’t have seen TDM, Domination, Rush, among many others; we would only have Conquest.

Let me correct you.

And SOME may have wanted BR but MANY could care less for it.

It is relevant what the community wants.

[Kauzer_RF]

This game needs like twice more maps as it has now. Ppl are bored already to see only 5 maps after 5 months. 2nd thing which is gona boost online is a rented servers, so ppl could play favorite map 24\7, HC mode, without snipers etc etc. BR is just a waste of resources, dev’s time etc.

[Redstripe101]

Why vote? I dont care for BRs personally but any content is welcomed at this point and if somebody bought bf 5 for firestorm let them have their wish granted. It’s not as if they wont release it at this point.

[Sixclicks]

Nope. Never asked for it.

I’ll probably try it at least once, but I don’t see how it’ll make me want to give up Apex for it. It just doesn’t really fit Battlefield imo.

[BeastlyVerse]

I think it’ll be an interesting take on the mode, but I’ll most likely just play apex legends for battle royale. The battle royale in BFV is probably going to be really frustrating because I know so many deaths are going to be because of how bad the visibility is combined with the fast ttd. It won’t be fun to keep investing 5-10 minutes doing nothing, getting immediately dropped by the prone guy, and then queuing up again.

[Tip_the_Cap]

No, I did not want BR.

[JanTwardy]

I dont want BR in BF

I would like Squad Conquest, Rush, more maps.

[doctorrocktor]

Don’t care either way,if you like it play it,if you don’t like it stick to the modes you like best.

[disposalist]

@doctorrocktor

Don’t care either way,if you like it play it,if you don’t like it stick to the modes you like best.

But it’s not a mode it’s a whole different game, made by a different studio, we’ve been told (when people suggest they should allocate resources to fix/improve the main game).

I wonder how good BF5 core game could have been if they’d not put in BR-supporting mechanics and they’d had a whole other studio to help?..
