[2019] Sooo which is it? BR wasn't going to impact DICE working on the main game wasnt it?

I think I should add some context and information since any kinda of official information is probably better than random guesses and assumption.

I can not speak for everyone at DICE Stockholm, but I can speak for the PVP content team (people that create Multiplayer maps) since I am part of it since the early hours of BFV. Until the release of Battlefield V no one of our team has worked on Firestorm. Since the release some of us have helped out. Having that said, at this very moment more people work on BFV post launch world content (maps, modes, dynamic-systems) than we had working on Battlefield 1. I am sorry that some of you feel like it has been to much of a gap between Panzerstorm and the first new map outside of Firestorm that will release in May, but I am certain once we finally get there, you will be happy with the cadence of new worlds and experiences. In the meantime you should really give Firestorm a try. The gameplay and the world is amazing and well suited addition to Battlefield.

And while I am here: Thank you for the support so far. Tides of War and the experiences released with it have really seen a lot of engagement with you guys and girls and the hours played in those experiences are mind blowing. We are really happy to see it resonating so well with the community. Thank you for that! <3

Let's say you missed out on a Recon gun. Go to customization/armory - recon - weapons and there is should be in the list.
