Firestorm map tweaks and gun rotations etc are nice, but they only matter for retaining playerbase, I don't think those features make enough noise on their own to get new blood into the mode.
Will we get some kind of announcement about how dice plan tackle the real issue which seems to me to be long term player count?
Yeah I can understand why you (and others) feel that way. Couple things that I can help to answer and clear up from what you’ve asked.
There’s a full development plan for Firestorm’s long term support - same as with all other aspects of BFV.
In terms of feedback - everything that we see posted across all platforms gets fed through to the gang responsible for all the changes and future for the mode, but as with all things, we like to show what we have, when we have it, rather than theorise alongside folks as this often leads to bad expectations being set.
The good news is that you’ll find at EA Play that you’re going to get a good look at the direction we are moving on with Firestorm.
To your final point, the present issue isn’t on player count, it’s just that transition from moving active development over from the team at Criterion who built the mode, to DICE who are taking it to where it goes next. It for sure must feel slow if you’re keen to see it go further, but there’s plenty coming and I’m looking forward to showing it next month.
