What maps were you thinking?

I can't really discuss the 7.0 update in detail yet, but it does bring more content (not just skins) to the game. Once we get Update 6.6 out the door, we'll have another update to discuss the details of 7.0.

Can you provide any insight onto what will be coming in the future, I dont mean specifics on indiviual line items but broad catagories of things that can be reasonably expected. Having service seemingly canned with so much unfinished content and items having been promised such as the Chauchat and other items some clarification would be really appreciated.

also about the chauchat which you specifically had mentioned was coming in a future chapter, is there any news on it? Seems like it's not coming at this point

I know the comment you're referring to. I believe I posted that 2-3 months ago. That was what I was told at the time.

I don't have an answer right this second but have hit up a few senior folks via Slack (it's late in Stockholm, so I probably won't get any info until tomorrow my time) to get details. And regardless the answer, I will also try to get a "why". I know it's pretty frustrating to just get an answer with no "meat" to it, so I'll work on that.

Re: what is coming in the future - I'd love to dive into that with y'all. I'm unable to at this time until after Update 6.6 has rolled out. We'll be working on a blog on what will be the final content update (7.0) with details on what will be included, the future of the Armory rotations, what may be coming to the Company, and weekly missions.

No one is really expecting you to talk about 7.0, but there is still almost zero info on patch 6.6.

Update 6.6 will have a focus on fixes (like the OHK-on-tanks with rockets), improved AA against fighters (so that planes aren't just shooting fish in a barrel), a new scoring event related to pilots bailing out of planes before they crash, fixed an issue that caused some planes to have infinite nitrous (so they were damn near impossible to catch/take out), smoothed the scope transitions for all weapons, added weapons to the Practice Range and fixed a bug that prevented folks from changing weapons on the Practice Range, fixed an issue that prevented folks from joining on a friend in the social hub, quite a few fixes to maps (collision and clipping issues), and more.

This update is addressing a lot of fixes.

will the nitro bug and british plane rockets be fixed in 6.6? it's annoying.... rocket farming on fjell and oneshooting tanks breaks the game.

Yes, (check my post below in this thread), I called both those out as being fixed with the upcoming Update.

With chapter 6 basically ended, will War in the Pacific be eventually removed? Also would it be possible for other playlists? Like War in Africa or War in Europe?

War in the Pacific will be replaced with other playlists that the team is working on rolling out. This should start with the final content update in June.

over 4 years ago - /u/Braddock512 - Direct link

Originally posted by hellosaltykitty2000

ah I see, is it bombs AND rockets or only bombs.

I updated my reply and clarified it - it's the rockets. (I also added a note that the AA has been improved to force fighters to be more careful and not just get easy kills on AA).

I think this was brought up a while ago. But is there any way to get a breakthrough playlist that is only with maps with weather effects on? Ive only played on hamada twice with the sandstorm. Its a complete different experience. Just like the fog on panzerstorm, or the air raid on devastation. These maps with the effects are enabled way to rarely. Would love to see playlist like that

That does sound awesome. I'll see what we can do about getting a rotation created for that. Any suggestion for a name of the playlist?

over 4 years ago - /u/Braddock512 - Direct link

Originally posted by MoreDotsOkStopDots

Perhaps, The Fog of War?

I like it! Now, list out the maps you'd want, and the order you'd see. Keep in mind the flow that is necessary. Like, you don't want to bunch up 2 desert maps or two island maps, but you want it to be a different experience with each map.

I dig this idea. I would play the hell out of it. (Here's hoping we can make that a reality.)

Will this update be bringing any team balancing? Read a post that you also briefly mentioning a way to keep servers full. Really hope these changes aren't discarded and are still being worked on.

They're working on a end-of-round balancer. It's currently being tested. I believe the intention is to roll it out with 6.6 - but the thing is - the testing they're doing is only on as big a scale as the studio can get with our QA folks and Studio. So, if it rolls out with 6.6 and doesn't properly behave the way it should, keeping servers full and balanced, it's possible it may be disabled (I believe there's a killswitch) to be adjusted.

"Cloudy with a Chance of Bombing" made me laugh so hard my dog barked at me from downstairs. GG

Fjell- start with a blizzard

Devastation- not really weather but the air raid

Mercury- rain

Hamada- sandstorm

Panzerstorm- fog

Pacific storm- thunderstorm

Arras- smoke (i think thats what it is)

Narvik- blizzard

Martia- fog

I don't know if im forgetting any others but those weather events are pretty separate in similarity I think?

I dig it! I'll send that over to the team and we'll see what can happen. Great idea and great rotation!

BFV Community giveaways will be on Wednesdays only for now - with BF1 and BF4 on Thursdays.

Not to be a jerk, but it’s funny AF to me that they are promoting BF4 and BF1 in this post.

You're not being a jerk, bud. Here's the deal: When EA (and all our studios around the world) went into Shelter-in-Home status at the beginning of March, we wanted to help keep people occupied while at home. That's why I've been doing game code giveaways for the last... 6 (or so) .. weeks.
Some folks want to play previous titles, like BF4 or BF1, so I made sure to get codes for those titles on all platforms as well. No strings attached - just play some games, stay inside, and stay healthy.

Well then, Here here. I’ve been out of the loop for awhile as I’m an essential state employee. If you’re feeling generous I’d take a BF4 code for Xbox for whenever I end up with the time to play

I’ll sort you out Thursday.

Originally posted by xXCoconutHeadXx

Are you done with the code giveaways? One of my best friends has played battlefield with me a ton the last few years but he’s never had a chance to try out BF4.

Thursdays are #ThrowbackThursday, so I’ll have some code drops then. Stay tuned!

Scoring event relating to pilots bailing out of planes? Consider me interested!

Basically, the way it looks is that if the pilot bails but you destroyed part of the plane before they bail, you’ll get points.

u/Braddock512 will there be any new Community Games features in 6.6? And will be the round start bug be fixed in 6.6 too? (The bug where you need 16 people to break the pre round instead of 4 people)

They're still working on the Community Game features - but they won't be in this update.

I didn't see it in the draft of notes I have, but I do recall being told it was supposed to be addressed with this update. Let me check with the folks that are in the KNOW and I'll reply tomorrow morning. That cool?

over 4 years ago - /u/Braddock512 - Direct link

Yeah, thanks for the info :)

While waiting for the meteor shower, got confirmation that the minimum player bug in Community Games is tracked as fixed with Update 6.6.

Hey thanks for the answer and appreciate the effort. Hopefully you will get some info on the weapon back soon! I also hope to hear more about the next update soon since I wont lie I'm worried, and have a feeling a lot of things are going to be unaddressed or at worst just removed like game modes have been previously

Minor update - I can definitively say it's NOT coming in 6.6. Outside of that, I'm, unfortunately, unable to comment further, at this time. (I'm really pushing for it to come to the game. As soon as we get closer to locking the final content update, we'll be able to share more details on what is going to be in Update 7.0.)

An answer is an answer, appreciate the delivery of the bad news. Please keep us posted, I dont want it to join the list of planned, shown and cancelled things

It's not bad news yet. (As I noted elsewhere in this thread, Update 6.6 is primarily a lot of fixes and tweaks.)

It may not be bad news yet but hope is the first step to disappointment with alot of things, and a lot of things in the game unfortunately

Hey Braddock, I was wondering who gives the keys? do you pay for them or EA/dice gives them for free? And where can I get an BF4 key?

As noted in the calendar above, I'll be dropping some codes to folks for BF4 and BF1 on Thursday. I'll go through my mentions and grab 10 folks for BF1 and 10 for BF4.

RE: your question, we work with Sony and Microsoft to acquire console keys and we have Origin keys.

Going to miss reading these u/Braddock512, thanks for keeping to community update with whatever information you had. Hopefully the last update details will come out sooner. P.S I wouldn’t mind a code for BF4 on Xbox heading my way, I don’t want to miss the fun people have on it!

Even after the final content update, we’re gonna have weekly missions and stuff. I’ll still be posting. ;) Will sort a code for you Thursday.

The team is focused on getting the final bits of 6.6 locked so the playlist is as it is for this week. That being said, we should start seeing new playlists and missions once 6.6 is dropped.
