BATTLEFIELD V: FIRESTORM INTEL

We've also got a ton of blogs to get you ready for March 25th, focusing on the ins-and-outs of Battlefield V: Firestorm.

Now that it's live, drop into Halvøy, grab some loot, drive the tractor, and go for the win - solo or as a Squad.

Then come back here and let us know what you think.

We request you keep it friendly - you can disagree with someone's opinion without being disagreeable or abusive. And let's keep it constructive - don't like something? Tell us, but let us know what you'd do differently, what's missing, etc.

Yet to dive in properly.., but getting a lot of crashes after the loading screen..without warning :(

Post-Nvidia update, but had not tried it beforehand.

Are you running Windows Update 1809? Game Mode off in Windows settings?

Why on earth can I not spectate in 1st person. When people are looting I cant even see what they are picking up. I cant see down their sight either. Pointless.

There's some things in the works for that.

I didn’t like the loot system and the inventory UI that much. The game mode is very fun and the map is great.

Already working on both.

If you're having issues with matchmaking as a full squad, don't click PLAY NOW until your squad is full. Otherwise, whatever squad you have at that moment will be the squad. We're aware of this confusion and working to address it. Thanks.

Because you’re the last to jump and they probably dropped, grabbed some weapons, hopped in a vehicle, and moved.

This isn’t an update. The Update was Thursday. You can read the notes (they’ve been linked pretty much everywhere).

This is lame. I want to play a Battlefield game not knock off low grade fortnite. I'd rather have Japanese and Russian forces with era accurate weapons than this trash.

Well, click on the Multiplayer option from the Modes menu. Conquest, Breakthrough, they’re all there.

Can you get two randoms if you have a premade squad of 2?

Yeah. Just wait to hit Play Now in the Squad Up screen until your squad fills from matchmaking.

not logically done. When you raise a weapon, he reloads it every time. It is not comfortable

We've passed this sentiment through to the team to improve upon, cheers!

Anyone have the issue where they cannot spawn in the bunker pregame?

Now I can't spawn/deploy in the multi player either. Is my game glitched? Says my internet isn't good enough, but my internet is definitely good enough. Have been playing for a week with no problems.

Platform/region?

Sorry, ps4 and USA, in Michigan currently.

I have seen some others with the same issue.

Edit: if I switch my ps4 user accounts it works. But when I switch back it doesn't. Not sure if that helps.

And you’ve done a hard reset and restore licenses? (Just to get that out of the way)

I have done a hard reset to both system and router. Not sure how to restore licenses, what does that entail?

You have to find heavy armor. You hold the pickup button to equip it and it has the plates already applied.

This.

It did not work sadly. What's weird is I can play the game fine in my girlfriends account on the same ps4. Also I can play single player and practice squad.

But you can’t play any MP or Firestorm? Hit up EA Help to look into your account, bud.

U suck hard Dice. Not only you needed way to long to join the party but u also bring the inferior Royale mode. But on top of that ITS NOT EVEN WORING PROPERLY. You freaking morons cant even get your game right. 3rd time im in a fight and i cannot change equipment anymore. Why? BECAUSE U MESSED UP THE ARMOR CODE!! Retards. While using armor there is a big possibility that u get stuck in the anymation. GOOD f**kING JOB

Can we get Oceania servers?

We do have Oceania servers, but if the concurrent player population drops in that region, you may matchmake in a more populated region. We’re working on some things to help improve this.

Information on Matchmaking in Battlefield V: Firestorm

Hello Battlefield V: Firestorm players!

As you know, we released Battlefield V: Firestorm on Monday, March 25th, 2019. Since then we’ve been listening to feedback from our players around the globe.

One of the key points we’ve focused on is the matchmaking in specific regions – particularly Brazil, Australia/Oceania, and South Africa.

Matchmaking in Battlefield V: Firestorm requires a certain amount of players to be connecting at the same time to initiate a server. Unfortunately, in some regions with lower player populations, this increases matchmaking time or forces players to connect to pingsites that are more populated.

We are continuing to look at options to improve this situation without having players connect to empty servers, and we’re always listening to your feedback. We’ll keep you posted on any updates or changes as we identify and roll out more solutions.

Thanks and we’ll see you on the battlefield!

The Teams at EA/DICE

Will there ever be duo?

Yes, it's coming as a limited-time mode in April, as called out in the Overview blog for Firestorm.

Game freezing. Game crashing a lot. Network errors (it's not my machine or network).

On the rare occasions i actually can play BR is okay, but it takes way to long to get into a game.

Platform and region? Details can help. Thanks.

Looting is god awful, everything else for the most part is really good. Especially the storm. Honestly I hate the sights on most guns and would rather ditch weapon tiers, would personally rather have just a plan version of each gun and be able to find attachments.

We’re updating loot-spread with the upcoming update.

Can we please get Duos

Yep. We’re rolling out Duos within the next couple weeks.

Hey Guys. We are loving on firestorm and it is a great addition to BFV.

But may I please ask if we can get local servers for Africa? i3D have the infrastructure here in South Africa and are already hosting for BFV multiplayer in South Africa. I contacted them and they confirmed they are able to however they have received no instruction from EA.

Please give us local servers for Africa. Playing at 220ms is ruining the experience for us. Thanks.

Is anyone else unable to fire their pistol while downed? I also can’t switch to it when I’m alive.

This is going to sound silly, but did you pick one up? I thought the same thing, until I realized I hadn’t looted one.

Any update on this?

On Friday, we reduced the threshold needed to start a Firestorm match for a few regions to see how it improved matchmaking. Australia was one and we did see a significant increase in connection within region. Unfortunately, there is still a population issue as folks connect at various times.

The team is investigating other options, including suggestions from the community on how to improve this. As I get any new or updated information, I'll definitely share it.
