The blog about it got delayed because of thanks giving in the US, the feature is still coming in December.

Correct. The feature is still coming with 5.2.

We can't publish the information about what Community Games is until it's cleared through our approvals process and Thanksgiving natrually creates a small backlog. Hope is still that we get what we need to publish it tommorrow but there's every chance we end up missing this because of the Holidays and getting the full detail next week.

Just to re-state though, this feature launches with Update 5.2

I really wish they were able to give us the date and time of the live stream ahead of time, even if it's 4 hours notice. The last live stream they did was right after Operation Underground came out. It was seemingly random with no announcement, was held on Mixer, and had hardly anybody watching.

I really enjoy their live streams when they answer questions and make announcements, but I wish we could get solid date and time information ahead of time, so we can plan to participate.

Edit: The live stream that happened today was announced 10 minutes before it started. Here's a link to the twitch vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/514392983

We announced the exact timing of it 3 hours before (not 10 minutes), having also cited it as happening today in 'This Week in Battlefield' earlier this week, and possibly last Fridays Weekly Roundup post.

Apologies for not being able to be more precise upfront - the team are all working on finalising our upcoming update so our schedule needed to be a bit more fluid in order to make sure that you get to hear from folks like Ryan, David, and Florian. Getting folks time away from doing their job, at the same time is like herding cats 😅

Ultimately, we set out to run the stream in a manner that makes it re-watchable for folks who want to watch it back on both Twitch and Mixer (we archive all our streams), and we always knew that by producing the stream during our working hours here in the Studio, that parts of the world would need to watch the VOD anyway. To do it later in the day would have asked the team to work much later hours and my preference will always be to respect their personal time.
