A bit unrelated but when can we press and hold the jump button to grab ledges on console? You can hold spacbear on PC to grab ledges but on console you have to spam the button, and that can be frustrating at times
The same functionality is already running on both pc and consoles
any info on the update notes to sprinkle to us yet?
Combined Arms is getting real matchmaking, so you can join randos instead of just friends list.
u/Braddock512 Is there any plans to have the current score shown for games in the server browser? I hate wasting my time searching for a specific map say Arras on Breakthrough only to join the server with 5 seconds left in the game, then the map switches to Fjell 652 and I contemplate the suffering that is life.
Like the live scoreboard back in BF4? That was pretty sweet. I don’t know. But I’ll ask!
What is this witchcraft?
Please revamp Firestorm loot system.
That's part of the Quality of Life we're looking to improve.
Did the boin whales just funded your entire year budget? That's great news!
Really glad that FS isn't going to be left as an afterthought, it's a legitimately cool unique experience for me and my friends.
Just wait til you see the Community Broadcast next week. u/PartWelsh has some cool info to share.
This is sorta tied to SQC but have you guys been looking into matchmaking/team balance at all? I've noticed an uptick in threads about it here and have also noticed imbalanced teams quite a bit lately.
We actually had a call about team balance yesterday, in fact. It''s definitely something that needs a good bit of love.
Thanks for bringing back squad conquest. Any plans on more maps for it? It's one of my favorite modes, but the 3 map rotation gets stale quick (especially if you're mopping the floor with the other team).
We have some plans this summer. I know of at least 3 other maps they're bringing to the mode.
I was about to be sad but then realised that May is in a few days! (where the hell did April go?)
RIGHT? This year is flying by. Next thing you know, it will be fall and we'll be in a whole new theater of war. (AND IT'S GOING TO BE SOOOOO GOOD.)
Good to see the dedicated PDF will still exist, and I like how you're consolidating everything into one post for the update.
Have you guys considered doing that with the ToW weeklies? Maybe a running list as the Chapter goes along on how exactly to get every weapon, etc? Re: The Commando Carbine has challenges for last week, but then it gets updated when it's available via CC to buy
That's an interesting idea.
Wow just the other day I was bitching about how annoying it is to get stuck in that animation...
This has been on the list for some time :)
Fair. Right now my perceptions are being manipulated by how long the animation currently is. But once I get in the game I bet my perceptions will be more realistic. Overall it's a good change that I didn't expect to be on the radar, so I appreciate the concerns you are placing on these critical gameplay elements.
In the same update, all the landing animations will also be a lot shorter, as you can see on the video.
Is there or is there going to be any kind of road map for Firestorm? I'm so in love with it and I just wanna know what's coming!
Yep! In fact, we're going to be diving deeper into the overall roadmap, as well as putting out a roadmap for Firestorm.
No ETA on that yet, but man, I gotta tell ya, May is going to be insane with the amount of info coming out.
Dang, just come out and say it. Love you man.
Notes should go live Monday morning.
We're doing them differently.
There will be a PDF and a blog on EA.com. But we're also going to start posting them DIRECTLY here on reddit. No need to click through. And that post will be where we collate all the feedback regarding the update.
Awesome. Looks great.
Any idea whether the update is gonna be beginning or the end of the week?
Thanks so much for all the communication. These posts are really useful and I love how often you're putting them out.
It’s Tuesday.
Let's recap what happened this week and see what's coming next week!

heavy landing animation takes less time than the roll, so it's a trade off.
Ohhhh I see, heavy landing takes damage with a smaller delay while rolling negates damage but has a longer delay. That's quite clever actually, but I'd still reduce the delay from heavy falling to be like nothing. You are already so vulnerable while in the air you should be able to shoot with fully accuracy as soon as you hit the ground if you wish. Yeah it's not "realistic" but it would make the game more fun which I think is a good reason to go for it.
We'll have to see it in action before tweaking it further, if the punishment is too big we can shorten the animation.
Question, is there a way to unlock previous weekly challenge weapons? I'm missing two (Vacations and lack of time)
Not at this time. But, we are looking at “catch-up” Chapter packs.
I have an impossible time with this on PC using Ctrl. BF1 made it easy where you could hold Ctrl and still have Ctrl bound to toggle crouch. Not sure why this changed, now if you have it set to toggle crouch, you have to double tap and not hold it.
I've just kind of given up on crouch sliding because of the weird control discrepancy. Is this intentional /u/braddock512 ?
We now have crouch sprint, so Ctrl is already taken by that, that's why we added the double tap approach. I do agree though that the current implementation doesn't work properly.
We're thinking about offering more options so you can pick the one you like most.
