DISCUSSION: Battlefield V: Firestorm

Braddock512 · March 25, 2019 4:17PM

Welcome to Firestorm!

Battlefield V's battle royale mode, Firestorm, is now live. We've got a lot of information about it below:

FIRESTORM OVERVIEW AND BREAKDOWN - 64 players. Largest map ever. Vehicles. Destruction. RING OF FIRE. Battle Royale, the Battlefield way.
THE WEAPONS AND GADGETS OF FIRESTORM - You're not going to survive without the right equipment.
FIRESTORM OBJECTIVES & REINFORCEMENTS - It's not just about out-shooting the enemy. You'll need strategy to be successful. Or call in a V1 rocket. Take your pick - or do both.
THE VEHICLES OF FIRESTORM - Land, sea, or air - we've got options to get you from point A to point B... and destroy everything in your path.

Once you've jumped in, played a few matches, driven the tractor - head back here and let us know your thoughts.

As always, we want you to keep it respectful and constructive. People are free to have differing opinions, so don't attack someone because they disagree with you. You can disagree without being disagreeable.
Let us know what you love, what you don't, and what you'd like to see added, tweaked, or changed.

UPDATE:
If you're having issues with matchmaking as a full squad, don't click PLAY NOW until your squad is full. Otherwise, whatever squad you have at that moment will be the squad. We're aware of this confusion and working to address it. Thanks.

Is there anyone else in here who will never touch or play this mode?

JanTwardy · March 9, 2019 9:47AM

Not interested.

Just wait for Squad Conquest return and Rush no limited and on all maps.

MBT_Layzan · March 9, 2019 9:49AM

BR, I don't think so unless it's like amazing after the honeymoon period is over. I don't really play anything outside CQ anyway.

negspec13 · March 9, 2019 9:55AM

I'll probably play it once just so I can say I've played one BR game. After that I'll be going back to Frontlines.
I suck at the regular game modes enough without the need for a no respawn mode.

FF-Bulletsponge · March 9, 2019 9:57AM

I will try it out to see how it plays and then decide if I keep playing that mode

esturias_88 · March 9, 2019 10:02AM

Will try it out, but in general I have absolutely no interest in a mode like that.

QwarHimos · March 9, 2019 10:04AM

Never played a BR mode so will give it a crack.
Nothing to lose really.

xKusagamix · March 9, 2019 10:05AM

Never played any Battle Royale game but i'll give Firestorm a try, the Fire ring look cool, being able to use sidearm when down sound nice.

Squad_Cohesion · March 9, 2019 10:22AM

With the current fast Time to Death and ridiculous gunmechanics in BF5 (complete lack of sway, almost complete lack of recoil on the assault guns, semi-auto rifles and some MMG's with mouse and keyboard), this mode just cant compete in the long run with APEX and PUBG.

I feel pity for Criterion (the dev studio that made Firestorm). They didnt have a say in the core of the gunplay.

Necron_Canaris · March 9, 2019 10:24AM

Not interested in a BR game mode but no doubt Dice will come up with some TOW missions and force you to play it.

CloneTrooperCT · March 9, 2019 10:46AM

I am going to test it. Because I like ww2. So maybe is this my BR. Al the other BR games are so kitty's, I mean for children's.

Bf5 is for pro

llPhantom_Limbll · March 9, 2019 11:01AM

I give you 1000000000% it won't be possible to ignore because Dice will focus ToW assignments around BR and there is nothing we can do.

barnesalmighty2 · March 9, 2019 11:06AM

I won't ever play it I do not like BR games.

Trokey66 · March 9, 2019 11:08AM

I will do what I do with every new mode.

Try it.

If I like it, I will keep playing it. If I don't like it, I won't.

Catsonspeeed · March 9, 2019 11:09AM

I have already promised myself to get at least one Victory Royale, and I won't stop trying until I get it. So Firestorm will propably be the only thing I'll be playing once it releases lol. 1 out of 64. Damn. It will be tough. But I will get it. In 2023, when everyone has already moved on to BF6 and Bad Company 3.......

IIPrest0nII · March 9, 2019 11:12AM

I'll try it, but BR mode is not my favorite mode at all.

Serious question though.....

Why do you intend to 'ignore' it and what is the point of this thread?

VOLBANKER · March 9, 2019 11:21AM

Give it a chance, you might like it.

Buy whatever the ToW reward is with CC?
Game still plays without having to do ToW right?

Hopefully it’s a hit, it’s the ace up the sleeve for dice that could potentially bring lots of new ppl into the game which would mean we get more content. I think I’ll play it more than apex because I like the mechanics of battlefield
