Notes & Addendums
The team in Stockholm is coming back online on January 7th (January 6th is a bank holiday in Sweden), and PartWelsh and I will be diving into conversations with them on next steps for Battlefield V, what’s coming in Chapter 6, Community Games progress, and more. As we get these details locked down, we’ll be sharing them with you, our community.
Welcome back!! Please revert and fix the game! Oh and also add more content, put in team balancing during matches and listen to the #bestcommunityintheworld for once Have a great day back!
Welcome back.
Beside to fix the game, the next steps should be forcing activities against cheating - its overhelming right now on PC, take as well reference to the cheating discussions in this Forum and discussions on other platforms.
Hacking on PC needs to be a top priority going forward. As well as the hackers being totally blatant about it they gloat that nothing is going to be done.
It’s time DICE and EA at least show some interest as hacking is on 95% of servers l play on.
Most of the time I can’t even get myself to finish a match. The experience is so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ now that after five minutes I already find myself thinking of another game to play.
PUBG had been satisfying my leathal gun itch lately. And it has no spotting!
Its so nice to see aswell that ALL the Channels (Twitter/forum/youtube etc) GETS SPAMMED WITH NEW YEAR AND CHRISTMAS MEMES instead of adressing the BIG ISSUE of WHEN WILL YOU FIX 5.2.2 and give us back mid-long range engagements and stop with the newb with low recoil lazer weapons and auto spotting ? NO Constructive ANSWER what so ever even trying to touch the issue!
THE Servers and the Game is dead allready…
I Sincerly hope that the move to use DICE-LA was somewhat related with thier rly bad long term support and messed up patches in 5.2 and 5.2.2 i hope once the power goes back to sweden some good will come from it…
The big one - DICE LA hasn’t worked on Battlefield V since … August. And that was just the two maps Lofoten Islands and Provence being refitted to the base game once the 5v5 mode was cancelled. Stockholm has basically been driving all the content and game changes otherwise - not that it matters, as we are one team. (Just a note - most of the DLC content for BF1 was done in DICE LA, as was a lot of fixes for BF4 & the 2nd year maps, the BF4 CTE, etc. Facts are fun, huh?)
You can literally post without profanity - or don’t post.
The team is continuing to look at more tweaks and changes post 5.2.2 Hotfix based on data, telemetry, and feedback. (Note, feedback isn’t “REVERT!” It’s concise, constructive, well-thought-out detailed comments that cite examples and offer suggestions.)
Insults and abuse aren’t necessary - and are technically violation of the forums. Consider this your warning.
The studio was on holiday from around December 20 - January 7. And yeah, we will celebrate the holidays as individuals and as a company. Not even apologizing for that.
The team released a horrible update no one likes in hopes of bringing in Christmas noobs while giving a huge middle finger to the core community that supported the game through it’s ups and downs then just left on holiday while leaving us with a broken unsatisfying game to play.
If you think that’s okay then you’re just a perfect example of what’s wrong with the company.
Welcome back Braddock but you’ll probably wish you stayed on vacation, a large section of the player-base are seething with anger and resentment over what DICE did before Xmas.
I put up with the lack of team balancing, anti-cheat and the endless list of bugs as I enjoyed the core game-play so much and it kept me coming back for more.
TTK 5.2 AND 5.2.2 have ruined it for me. It is no longer fun. Insurmountable problems BFV is now facing. None of this was necessary - the changes were the last insult to me and quite possibly many others that have supported the game over the last year and indeed the franchise over the last 17 years. I’m not going to forget how this has gone down, DICE and EA have treated us with utter contempt, so I will return the favour…
Have a great day back!
