And you're still part of DICE, together with Freeman the only source of the already spare information we got about the debacle that BFV was. So of course we're going to adress our complaints to you, especially when you give funny answers like these. :-)

I actually see the cheat bans list daily, so the first part is 100% wrong.

If you refuse to report anyone, why tag me? I'm (as you already stated that you know I'm a CM - not the only one - so you know this) not able to do anything with these claims.

And I've never had a problem with sharing your frustration or complaints. EVER.
I take issue with you feeling it appropriate to insult or abuse.

To be honest Braddock, Dice has given us no reason to trust them with cheaters. You already know this Braddock. Have a little sympathy for what he is saying.

I didn't say it was perfect, and I totally understand the frustration. There's no doubt about that as it's in my reports I send to the studio team and leadership teams.

But being abusive/insulting to me (or Freeman) isn't something I have to be okay with, just as you wouldn't accept that from someone.

Wanna share your frustration? I'm here to listen (and if I have an answer to share, I will). Want to go beyond just sharing frustration to pointed attacks, snide insults, or outright abuse? No. Full stop.

Reporting cheaters to you is the same as a tumbling over rice sack in China - nothing else will happen.

So I guess we can assume your answer is a joke? :)

You can assume whatever you want.

Fact of the matter is, I’m not part of anti-cheat nor do I have the ability to ban folks. So you can follow the process and report them properly, or you can continue to be abusive and I won’t see any of your comments going forward.

Any update on team balance?

Works gone on hold for the Summer while the teams take their vacations.

We had the option of deploying it but there was an issue where all Squad leaders would be ejected from the game when the systems activated. That's counter productive, so we rejected the update.

What we had otherwise developed so far is working as we want it too, but not wanting to release something that would completely ruin the experience for the summer we've put it on hold until we can pick up the work once the teams are back from their annual vacations.

Belief is that we can still develop a change as we know where the faults are, it's just subject to more testing and more engineering work to get us to a place where we're comfortable releasing it.

We'll evaluate and share more when we can.

Thanks for the update on the trailer but is there any chance you could clarify what kind of "new cosmetics" you guys added in the new update? (7.1) are they completely new or were they already in the files last update?

It was a few final facepaints and I think a haircut that will get used as potential login rewards. They were likely already in the files for a number of months but carried bugs that prevented them from ever being used.

Upvote because I always like explaination (and i'm curious)

But guys... I hope for everyone that the next BF and everything around will be much in order than how it happens now...

For sure, and I'll volunteer that in a normal world, this was set to be a very straight forward affair in the world of communications, and we were originally working towards a cool moment where things happened in a manner where we'd reflect differently on the topic today.

Here's more dull and dry explanations/rambling if you're interested

The trailer originally would have gone out on the Wednesday before the update (the following Tuesday), patch notes would have followed on the Thursday, and the update out the following week. EA Play would originally have then been on the following week where we would have talked about the whole Battlefield franchise coming to Steam.

That's a plan that for a campaign team (not talking development or production here) gets produced as early as 4-6 months before at a high level, associated work gets mapped out, folks get to task, and then pulled together over the course of that project's timeline. The work itself all ...

A true classic, one final swing (and miss).

To add in what else I shared (and why we simply didn't straight away change it and release it), we produce our trailers in different formats, languages, and in different crops for different platforms and storefronts. That's some 20GB worth of renders and a further stack of Projects and their source files that need reopening and the like.

So it stacks up as a big task to solve a small (and it's 12pt font small) problem.

We were very much considering a world where we never released this trailer, we revisited that late last week to ask what we did want to do and its simply a tiny detail thats easy to miss. We caught it and asked ourselves if we were happy with it and decided no, so we're changing it

Will still be this week - and I'll keep folks updated.

Also helps that he's very cute.

Equality, fair treatment, and access to Justice isn't Political.

Those issues should be resolved

It's not an intended change and will be fixed.

We're in the process of pushing an update here that will correct the bundle so that the proper items are delivered. If you already purchased the bundle, we are looking to retroactively award you with the correct item. The incorrect item won't be removed from your accounts.

Saw it, read it, appreciated the feedback you shared and am sharing it with the team.

Thanks, Jay.

What about the idea of continuing the current currency we have for BFV but for BF 2021 that you talked a little bit about a month or two ago? Also if I have any suggestions as well will this work?

Shoot me an email.

Thanks for the quick reply man. And no worries, like I said I know you're a busy guy.

Can't wait for those new additions to Community Games, but I have a feeling it's going to be difficult to fill hardcore lobbies without permanent servers, and the ability to search for hardcore style lobbies.

I'm officially done bugging you about hardcore mode. Seriously though I appreciate the communication over the past year or two.

But if I write one last comment explaining my thoughts on RSP, hardcore mode, and why they're necessary for a Battlefield game to succeed, will you be able to pass that information on to the right people at DICE?

I know it might fall on deaf ears but I just want one last chance to let the team know how much those two things have meant to my friends and I over the past 15 years.

Not only will they let players play the way they want therefore increasing player satisfaction, I strongly believe if done right they'll improve EA/...

If you want to send me an email, I GUARANTEE it will be seen by the teams working on the next Battlefield.

That's something I've seen work on. :)
