Will more information (like what maps/weapons are coming, the release date, patch notes, etc) come out around the same time as the trailer or at a later date?

Really interested to hear more about the Pacific, I hope it’s the turnaround Chapter 4 was supposed to be but I’m reserving judgement till we hear more.

Yep.

Edited: More info will come when the full trailer releases.

Is the release date on the trailer I hope?! Thanks for the update! Hope jury duty is over

I got dismissed from jury duty - yay! But because I had to check in, I missed going to Stockholm this week to prepare for Chapter 5.

The release date will be announced in the trailer, I believe.

The helmet cover in the teaser looks like it's the Vietnam war camo version. Is this going to be changed to the correct one that was issued to Marines in the Pacific?

/u/Braddock512, this may seem petty/insignificant but I totally agree. Could you pass this along to the team? Hopefully it's just incorrect for the trailer and not the art in game. At any rate, really looking forward to it!

Technically, the M1 has been used by the US from 1941 to 1985. The minor differences between the version in WW2 and Vietnam are the tone of the olive color and the chin strap. (I've escalated this to see if it's just for the video.)

These things are useless. When does the pacific come out?

Watch the trailer on Wednesday and read the information we're dropping this week. You'll have more info.

Do you plan on actually releasing the content shown in the trailer this time or are you going to pull a Chapter 4 on us again? I´m not saying this to be a dick, but your track record isn´t exactly good so far when it comes to delivering promised content. Please don´t dodge this question and just answer it truthfully. I´m sure I´m not alone when I say I´m getting real tired of the constant hype, under-delivery, subsequent PR speak and then radio silence while you pretend everyone is happy.

I totally understand where you're coming from.

Some of the content in the Chapter 4 trailer was for the now-cancelled 5v5 mode. We're looking at how we can bring many of those items to BFV vanilla.

Any word on Xbox patch specifics?

Just some backend work. This is not a major update.

Hey Jeff, any info on when those Art of Battlefield V books are going out? I responded to your email (as part of the first wave) but didn't hear anything else about it.

I was stuck in jury duty from Tuesday through today, so I haven't been able to get to the office to ship them out. I'll be heading in tomorrow to get them all sent.

You have a typo, you typed October the 17th instead of 24th.

Thank you. Cold medicine is kicking my butt today. Sorry about that. Fixed.

Will we be getting patch notes for 4.6.2?

No. It’s only for XBOX One and it’s just some back-end stuff that doesn’t impact gameplay.

Yeah that’s me lol, but you may be able to answer this, does it fix the issue with Axis skins only rendering with on 2 different models?

Just to confirm, you do know that soldier skins are now tied to characters, not classes, right? (It came out a couple updates ago.)

Servers are down on Xbox!

Check XBOX.com/status. Looks like it’s affecting a lot of gaming and social stuff, as well as accessing content.

Hey there, could you publish the patch notes for 4.6.2 on Xbox? Yes, I understand it's under-the-hood, but I'm interested what is changed nonetheless. Thanks!

The update was to enable trial functionality.

so it's just a trailer..?? and not the actual pacific release?

War in the Pacific releases on October 31 with Iwo Jima and Pacific Storm, with Wake Island coming in December. (It's mentioned in the trailer and the video description.)

Agreed. While I am super hyped for the Pacific the only thing I care about in Chapter 5 is Private Games. All my BF friends are literally not playing until this becomes a feature. So hopefully they'll have something to say about it.

I'll be sharing some info about Private Games on Monday's This Week in Battlefield V.
