Introducing Battlefield V: Firestorm Duo Weekend

PartWelsh · April 11, 2019 8:59AM

Morning folks,

Today we’re introducing Duo to Firestorm. It’s available in game for you to play right now.

It’s our first time putting Duo out into the wild having started work on the mode much later in Firestorms development. We love it, and we think it’s a great addition to the game, but we recognize best that we’re better hearing that from you, and we’d appreciate your support in helping to make it a strong addition to Firestorm, and Battlefield V.

We’re making it available until 10am UTC on Monday 15th April, at which point we’ll come back to you all to ask how you found the experience. Did it change the pacing of the games for you? Did it cause for hotter drops? Were you enjoying it as much as Solos and Squads? Were you primarily playing with Randoms, or Squadding with a friend, and how did each of those two matchmaking types change things for you with the experience?

You can add your feedback here on this thread, so don’t be shy to share your thoughts as you go. Next week, we’ll look at the hard data that we get from our various teams, as well as the feedback that you share with us here. We’ll then come back and share our learnings next week.

Enjoy Duo!

I'm pretty sure this will be well received, I sometimes struggle to get 3 other squad mates to play squads. Myself and a friend regularly play duos in squads, it will be nice to have proper duos, nice :-)

yes i m sure too the players will like it... the problem is another one... dice received a lot of positiv feedback for teams conquest, but they didnt insert it again... i m shure they have own motivation....

DICE (LA ) BREAK THE GAME TO THE MIND as you did it with bf4 we believe in you fill this empty game with content, but dies Sweden has fallen in my eyes. I finally wish DICE Los Angeles. I wish you good luck. I believe you don’t care about the community. once again I will say these people once again DICE Los Angeles don't let us down we believe in you

I would enjoy it if I could get into it. AU PC servers appear to be non existent for any mode. Something broken?

LTM's make me sad

ProGamer30FPS · April 11, 2019 12:03PM

I really enjoyed duos and i want and it MUST be permament play mode me and my friend had bad times playing with squads with randoms we found some other guys but never saw them online again when we were online at least pls DICE im a hardcore bf fan dont ruin it for me

DEHALKO · April 11, 2019 12:31PM

You are the best company for my opinion,firestorm is the most complete br to ever play.Give this battler. the option for duos and keep it permant.Thanks a lot for the great jod you do with forums...Lets have a great game .... BF5

BamBam011 · April 11, 2019 12:54PM

I play a lot of battlefield and this game ROCKS. Well done grade A. Will give A+ when looting is a bit better and please please please make the spectator in 1st person. The action is way better in 1st person and you can see what the person sees.

Great job DICE and Criterion👍🏼

I really love the duo mode in firestorm!!!!
Having an entire squad online is quite difficult, so we most of the time play with 2 strangers (not using their mics) or go for a squad of 2 (and reduce our chance of winning)
Just did couple of games with my friend and it was epic as expected!!!!!

Please make it permanent!!!!
I think the game is even more dynamic as there are more squad and as a result squads are more scattered on the map! So you encounter more ennemies in the early game, which is very exciting!!!!!

Thanks for your work on the game! PLEASE MAKE IT PERMANENT!!!!!!

lSystemI · April 11, 2019 2:19PM

As I do love the Firestorm, it is pain in the a...hmm... difficult to find "normal" players to form a full squad. Most of the time "randoms" do what they please and destroys teams' gameplay. The squad is nice when playing with friends/platoon members. The duo should be available PERMANENTLY not only as the weekend proposition.

KIIXXVI · April 11, 2019 2:51PM

I have no tried it yet since I just woke up but I usually tend to play with 1 other person and we have been waiting for Duos to drop! We will let you know! Although I'm sure it will be amazing I am loving Firestorm so far as I don't play any other BR's

QsPhantom · April 11, 2019 3:26PM

Duo's are definitally wanted and are basically a must for battle royals. Not everyone has a full squad to play with and not everyone enjoys solos. Most of the time I have 1 friend to play with. Being limited to only squads hinders us because the 2 randoms are always doing their own thing. This leads to an unenjoyable experience because we're often in gunfights 2v4. Please keep this permanently

dreddnaught19 · April 11, 2019 3:37PM

This is a welcome addition. As much as I like playing solos, playing with friends adds a multiplier to the game enjoyment. Squads on the other hand, have been difficult since day one. If you have to add randoms to fill, you are lucky to just have them stay in game long enoough to hit the ground, let alone play the entire round. But I digress.

IT IS AWESOME TO SEE THE DEVS WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO FINE TUNE THE GAME. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

JamieCurnock · April 11, 2019 4:04PM

1 weekend!!! Are you serious??

I get you want feedback but 1 weekend?? I've been waiting since firestorm dropped to play duos as I don't like solos (it's like hide and seek) and random squads suck (often very little teamwork). I'm busy this weekend so the one bit of content I was waiting on I will miss because I'm busy for a few days.

Why not have a week long 'test'!?! Who makes these decisions?!!

God I love this game but the decisions around content drops are horrific.

Killer_dkx · April 11, 2019 4:22PM

i agree with "Jamiecurnock" only 5 days test is to short , one full week at least. Duo mode should be permanent , it's not easy to finde 3 frindes to play firestorm at the same time.

woba42 · April 11, 2019 5:04PM

Now just make it permanent and don't try to be "unique" with these limited time modes, thanks

m4derr · April 11, 2019 5:59PM

Duo mode is great, don't remove it guys... it gives the same experience than squad (less camp than solo) but you just need 1 person to play with.

Let it as it is, fix things that need to be fixed and update it but don't remove it without any reasons...
