Not considered World Wars. Wars have happened, but not quite on the scale to warrant being called World Wars.

I just like how it could actually happen if we continue our ways (kind of lol) but I just find the whole thing interesting, at first it worried me about really life but now I actually really like it 👍 what about you

I wouldn't say like, it kind of terrifies me. There are definitely parallels though, I know what you mean.

Believable and grounded is an important element of it.

I actually wanted a eu vs China vs America vs Russia war, but it makes sense why China isn’t there because after the war of 2020 China most likely failed because of it, and I think Europe collapsed cos of natural events and a failing economy. Just a theory though.

Meanwhile in present day real life the EU can't even agree upon a unified armed force. Was only a few days ago that Denmark resisted it. Fun to speculate though.

In the game, the European Union isn't a thing anymore. Germany has fully collapsed, among others. Parts of Europe were hit by natural events, as you rightfully said.

I know this is a meme but I actually think the lore is really cool and I would diveeeeee into that

We have plenty. What bits are you interested in?

Love the BF Portal hype! 😊

No there won't be, just as much as how there was no reasoning to provide explanations of a load of Siegfried Albrecht's on the field in Battlefield V, or assault, support, medic, and recon all looking the same in games prior to that either.

This is not a new thing, you have the power to alter how your character appears through customization, now there are personalities, traits, and stories attached to those characters alongside it.

Indeed, you'll be seeing differences like this depending on friend or foe :)

Side note, but man I miss the Battlefront CTs and updates. So much fun, and I think u and the community management team did awesome (once the rough launch was patched up of course. At that time I understand the issues with communication).

Username checks out.

Just explaining why there was no response. I could have said "it was late", but that feels a little cold and I'll always try and inject a bit of personality/human touch in things.

Maybe it actually did, it’s just not enough in today’s climate.

That could be fair. I've always thought that you should never settle, but should always be looking for improvement, regardless of your field/output.

So you can set them up for different behaviour/looks/loadouts etc

Because the Community Managers can't just go and post shit without approval.

This.

The Problem I see here is that the CM gets all the heat, because the actual people responsible for such important information like beta and release dates don’t have the balls to take the responsibility for such statements. But just use the CM as a dummy.

This just shows that the higher ups aren’t even feeling responsible for their product. Because if they did, they would have provide a statement by themselves and not just say „hey CM tweet this“. But maybe I’m wrong and CM f**ked up ? Who knows. Just my two cents.

As a CM you're often at the mercy of what you can and can't say. Is very rare you will have a CM that gets to dictate things themselves.

I think everyone here completely understands that things can change at a moments notice and that's fine - just tell us. You guys made a commitment during Battlefield V to have more open, honest, and transparent communication. So do what you told us. We're begging you to stick to your word at this point and we shouldn't have to.

We've got our community manager telling us things like "I'll be helping to answer questions as we move towards November 19th." So we ask questions and we get ignored. Not a "Sorry I can't answer that yet", just completely ignored.

Please don't do this to us again. Battlefield V was a terrible time to be a fan of Battlefield due to the silence and vagueness we got from you guys. We are your hardcore fans and the people that always support your games no matter what. We shouldn't have to beg and plead for any sliver of official information.

And that's completely fair. I was part of that commitment during BFV, and I know your current Community Team feels the same way. I'm speaking out of my comfort zone now, as I'm not involved in marketing anymore, but I have to believe that what you are after is coming.

Narrator; they’re going to do exactly that again.

I spent a lot of time with BFII and BFV and I learned that DICE sucks at communication - they always have. Communication, bug fixes, and general balance have always been their low points. While making visual beautiful games is their highest point.

I want to be optimistic about this game, but seeing how they’re already struggling, DICE LA is leaving after launch, and how they treated BFII / BFV… oof.

I think BFV improved in this regard as time went on, always room for further improvement. Be interesting to hear what time frame you played BFII.
