Seriously Firestorm is a massive waste of time and funding that could of gone to bug fixing and content this game really needs. The FS is boring as hell, and servers are incredibly ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯. ---

The odd thing is that it was Criterion that was doing Fyrestorm which just makes me wonder what Dice Sweden has been doing all this time. ---

Actually it plays pretty well and is great fun with a full squad of friends. Give er a try with some friends. Bet after a few wins you have a different take. Bugs in the base game will persist…indefinetly…no matter firestorm or no firestorm ---

Well the people who play Battle Royale games seems to like Firestorm, the only thing that´s bad is the looting system. I dont play BR games myself so I propably wont play more than needed for the TOW assignments, but if other people like it, good for them. For me it´s just like any other game-modes I dont play, like Domination. If I dont like it, I wont play it and wont complain about it. If other people like it,I just let them play it. ---

It’s nothing terribly special but it does the nothing terribly special quite well. Looting bodies is bad and needs sorting for sure. The squad mode is fun though and tense. ---

Probably they are using 90% of the personnel behind the scenes developing EA Battlefront 3: Livelier Live Service.

I don’t think we should expect any special development of BFV. In that case, it would already have been in the current roadmap. EA / Dice has seen that the costs do not meet the expected sales in further development. They have promised live service, but not promised anything about the level. And it’s going to be very low. They will only supply enough to keep the game alive until the next release. ---

We seem to forget that they somehow forget to put the microtransactions in the game in spite of the CC being fixed for months now. . It is their own fault that they do not even put those cosmetics that would theoretically fund more content. ---

Current cosmetic options and variations are dull. And I doubt “premium” customizations can make a big difference. Dice has to learn what f2p games usually offer regarding customization and do it the proper way. As of right now I have 0 reason to pay money for skins. ---

As of right now I have 0 reason to pay money for skins. Probably you and I do not belong to the target demographic, but there are out there people/whales who will be overcome by crippling OCD if BFV get some really cool premium skins. As long as they are just cosmetics and do not look silly but cool instead then I am in support of them going forward with this. . Personally I would also appreciate if I could pay a small fee to have any new planes at level 4 from the start to save myself 1-2 days of torture ---

To be honest my exact thought when i played Fs was OMG they they wasted all the resources on this lmfao.But then i played a few rounds and its actually ok really just MEH nothing special at all to be honest i would much rather play pubg its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better.It does run pretty well but i mean it really is just a load of assets used from the back game and the map itself is very open and boring just as well the fire storm comes in fast otherwise you would get no action at all.But overall its ok runs ok and is something different but really when we think about it,its just another game mode. ---

The game provides only 4 parts of cosmetics to be equipped and face paint can’t be seen most of the time because of dumb gasmasks. Dice should have separated uniforms from other misc stuff such as knives, goggles and so on and move them to different category. If you want to make money of selling cosmetics you have to create lots of them and let people have a good choice. Right now it’s just not here. ---

I would have preferred 3 standard BF maps in all modes instead of Firestorm. > [@Dr\_X2345](#): > > “I don’t like Battle Royale, therefore no-one does”. That’s what you’re saying. I bought a BF game for the BF content and gameplay, not a BR game. If I wanted a BR game I’d go and download Apex. So instead of shoehorning a BR game into a BF one, which nobody asked for, why not release some freaking content for the BF game instead, of which there is very LITTLE to see so far.
