This Week in Battlefield V - January 21, 2020 Edition

Strike through it all you want but if you read between the lines it says “we haven’t forgotten”. Nobody apologised for it at the time and the game as it is at the moment doesn’t include half the stuff promised during that time. Things that players were asking for were ignored (still are - anti-cheat hasn’t even been mentioned) in favour of a controversial (to put it mildly) change to core gameplay. I think our criticisms being crossed out is pretty much what we’ve come to expect as a community now but considering the way things have gone since launch it probably wouldn’t be the best idea to do it so brazenly on the forums. Fallout 76 was proof that it only takes one title to sink a AAA game company’s reputation. I think it’s an unnecessary reply to make. None of the disgruntled fans you see in these forums hold you personally responsible. I think you should get a raise personally for being DICE’s human shield - they screw up and you’re the first one to know it. You need to understand fans are genuinely abandoning the franchise because of the way they feel they’ve been treated as consumers. We’re just little dogs barking loudly because we’re worried nobody will hear us.

You may have missed quite a few posts that had to be moderated, if I may be honest. LOL

Regarding “stuff promised during that time” - unfortunately, some things shifted, some things were hoped for and despite many attempts to get them working correctly (such as body dragging), it wouldn’t add to the gameplay. There were a lot of high asperations, for sure, but once we got the game into folks hands and started working on some things, the team saw that it wouldn’t work in a live environment, or that it would create more bugs, etc. It’s never a good feeling when we have to pull a gameplay mechanic, or feature, or delay one to ensure that when it does come out, it works.

I just played BFV for 3 hours all Pacific Theater and had a good time. Could some things be adjusted? Sure, but the franchise is not trash and still way better than CoD which truly turned to garbage. I imagine you having to take a stiff drink before visiting this board…lol

People need to calm the hell down and be at least a little respectful.

@Braddock512 how did you know that?

Two month more getting destroyed by Typ 2A, congratz dice!
I’m done with SMG-Field V

Another question regarding upcoming update: Will there be any improvements to end being spotted almost permanently?

We’re almost done with Chapter 5 - and we’ve got Chapter 6 on the horizon. Let’s see what’s happening this week.

Yeah that is so annoying, get rid please.

You bought an EA game, Braddock works for EA. Not hard to follow

On another note, can we fix the inability to comment outside the “quote” box ?

Positive steps forward again finally this is good news. However Auto rotation needs to go, With AT rifles, a lethal smg, proning etc new players have enough to work with without Auto Rotation shooting us through smoke. No auto rotation on PubG yet that does not put anyone off playing. All Aim Assist AR is doing is weakening player skill levels. Its almost insulting to those of us on console that someone in DICE thinks we are so low skilled that we need it. Plenty of us comp players on console cannot afford a gaming PC why should we be treated differently?

Yeah that can get annoying. You can get around that though by either pressing down on a keyboard or clicking/pressing outside of the box on a phone/tablet.

Extreme weather? EPIC!!! sand trails blowing through trenches then up and over sand bags is unbelievably immersive experience. Felt like i was there in Al Sudan…
PLEASE FIX ASAP: Since a late 2019 patch many can’t login when any server has a queue, you get FAILED TO JOIN SERVER SESSION. Every single time, so I can only join servers with no queue or on squad. I hope you fix that it’s sad not to be able to join a queue of a great game going on.

lYLoyal since BF2, I love BF series! Many veterans do too and they deserve the best user experience. How about special consideration for veterans input? maybe a veterans outreach program? Seriously, folks use it to survive sometimes…would show great concern for a BF buyer persona whom everyone forgets and doesn’t tailor to.

@Braddock512

I see weapons will be more apart of the tow chapter rewards. My concern is when will those weapons be available for purchase with CC? When they were apart of the weekly rewards, people could buy them a few days later. So now people will have to wait till the end of the chapter to purchase tow chapter weapons?

You might want to take a step back and take a deep breath homie there’s always been a few weeks between chapters you just haven’t been on the game before chapter 5 to know it lmao. Might want to do a little more research next time, ignorance doesn’t make for a very strong argument

I just wish they would let Chapter 5 run all the way up until they start Chapter 6.

I’m bummed I didn’t have time to complete the objectives in time to get the Grease Gun. The objectives weren’t hard, but just didn’t get enough game time in that week.

Damn!

HEY RABNOOB…you had your top guns…medics have their first and you throw hissy fit and take ball and go home? work with it and wait for your next gun upgrade like medics did… FAIRNESS dude… the BAR is still OP and so are the snipers..so shut it…nothing is better than bf5 out there…nothing but possibly bf4.

i tweeted out our server queue NOT JOINING issue..still needs fixing…please. https://twitter.com/skiingmadman/status/1220745393035776000

Lucky for you now that the ToW challenge is over you can just buy it from the company customization screen for 1700 CC
