Battlefield V Dev Tracker

In general, porting content from other games or remaking/reimagining is actually harder than making from scratch, as you have to conform to not only one set of goals, but two... Technically it is a Kickstart of course to get something playable fast - but finishing is harder to make it fit the current game.

Firestorm map: Technically the map content is "done" to quality and could be reused, but it's a very special map as it is using streaming (which is not normally the case for mp maps). So it for sure would come with some pretty specific issues and gotchas if that was ever considered a course of action to do so. But given the above statement, it's easier to build new than to port/finish in general - and more interesting as well from a content offering perspective most likely.

Keep in mind that's just my personal opinion, no promises or anything this is even considered atm.

Would have been better without the typos.. ;).

Make sure to pull one of the towables behind you and grab a friend to fire it. Too much fun.

There’s a couple of great spots that have some 3 story houses that usually have good loot. I also prefer to drop near the military base to get the heli.

My favorite, though? Wherever the tractor is. ;)

Sorry for that. This was an oversight by me. It's fixed internally already and will release with an upcoming patch.

Very, very sorry for this. I will do better! 🙇‍♂️

Splitting the map is not something I have insight into if possible or how much work it entails. If there's areas designed that could be a good as another map that seems like a neat way of reusing good content though - but that's just my personal speculation and not any official stance.

I’m triple checking. I know we have a livestream as well.

Went live on Thursday.

I think I should add some context and information since any kinda of official information is probably better than random guesses and assumption.

I can not speak for everyone at DICE Stockholm, but I can speak for the PVP content team (people that create Multiplayer maps) since I am part of it since the early hours of BFV. Until the release of Battlefield V no one of our team has worked on Firestorm. Since the release some of us have helped out. Having that said, at this very moment more people work on BFV post launch world content (maps, modes, dynamic-systems) than we had working on Battlefield 1. I am sorry that some of you feel like it has been to much of a gap between Panzerstorm and the first new map outside of Firestorm that will release in May, but I am certain once we finally get there, you will be happy with the cadence of new worlds and experiences. In the meantime you should really give Firestorm a try. The gameplay and the world is amazing and well suited additi...

It's complex to say the least - and that's why we keep things unspecific and vague most of the time as it can't get anyone into troubles :). All I know is that theres some really good stuff coming, and the pace is increasing as well, which will make players happy. But, proofs in the pudding - IE released things.

Yes.

Tag for this man!

No, not sure how you ended up with that conclusion? Reasons to only speak of locked down specific content (which has a set release date) is a financial reporting one in connection to being a publically traded company and the used reporting structure for a bought product like BFV. This doesn't mean we as devs like it - or want it to be this way. It's become both easier and harder in a sans premium world, but I know the next fiscal has less stringent rules, which should translate to more details earlier and more specifics post April 1st.

It is when you can't talk about anything or any details in the next fiscal (without massive legalhoops and delays). Which coincidentally starts on April 1st.

We’ll have something to share in the coming weeks.

Reddits always going to be a great way to gauge folks passion on any given topic. We're sensitive to how easy it is to misinterpret that passion, and apply it as the mass will of all players and so this stuff is always well balanced with other forms of feedback.

Wouldn't say it's a nuisance, it's just part and parcel of modern gaming communities.

I appreciate OP's willingness to speak up on what they enjoy as much as everyone else voicing their feelings.

I would personally love to but I'm not the one making decision :)

Like I wrote in another post, anything "can be possible" but SP maps were really designed for SP purpose. They are not balanced in any shape or form. Bigger map like the one in Under No Flag could, maybe, with some stretch work in Conquest. Maps like Tirailleur are super linear experience and the attacker is in a really disadvantage position. These maps are also super narrow. Putting Conquest on them would probably not be really possible but maybe Breakthrough could work. Maybe.

Also, stated in the other post, SP maps have some technicalities in the back that player don't see like data streaming and other stuff that would need to be changed/removed/un-linked and yes, it would require more than just placing a couple of cover and dropping some flags.

I'm not denying anything you said and your argument is absolutely valid but, what can I do really? I'm just a small cog in a big big machine. I'm a Level Designer. I would love to make 10 maps. Twenty even! But It takes a sh*t ton of time to make one and it's not exactly how it works.
