Will Irish VS Oz be further expanded on?

What happened in the Far East part of the world? China is probably in their civil war from BF4 or collapsed. But what about the Koreas, Japan, Australia, New Zeeland, etc?

Also Germany collapsing makes me worried about what happened to my own country (the Netherlands) XD

Might want to trade in your bicycle...

Not something we've gone into just yet, only the end result.

This is entirely dependent upon how you had preordered the game in the first place, but as the game is unreleased it should be easy for you to go ahead of claim a refund on it - allowing you to order it on the correct platform of your choice.

For example, if you had ordered it directly on the Xbox platform, you can request a refund on that item, alternatively, you could contact Xbox Support for further assistance. If you preordered the game with a retailer, you would need to contact that retailer.

Now factor in that a lot of the world's satellites are gone, and how that would impact things.

Imagine what happens when your WiFi goes down etc, multiply it.

Would it be correct to say some of the no pats specialists are siding with Irish while some are siding with Oz and that's why they are killing each other in these proxy wars in order too stop a much larger conflict?

There are a lot of No-Pats in the world, all with their own thoughts, beliefs and agendas. They all follow those they believe in.

I assume Americans blame Russians for the collapse, and Russians blame Americans, but who do Europeans see as responsible? Is it mostly one of them? Both? Themselves a bit?

There's a lot of miss information at play. Remember that the blackout has caused significant communication and information loss.

As for Europe, a lot of the countries here are spending their efforts just trying to survive. Germany has fallen for example, but then you'll have the likes of Falck who is No Pat of German origin. She will fight for both US and RU as a means to an end.

War is very rarely clean cut.

Interesting! Thank you for the reply! If you don't mind I have two more questions I wanted to ask

Is there any reason the No Pat insignia is slapped onto virtually everything they own? It makes sense for tanks and stuff but in Exodus it's all over medical equipment, cabinets in the background, the boat Irish has even the bed Pac is on

And also, I kinda of expect this one isn't going to be answered until much later In the games life span but does this take place in the same universe as 2142?

Finnaly just wanted too add I genuinely do find the lore of this game really interesting! The worldbuilding and thought put into it adds so much! I find myself reading about the war of 2142 a game I never played just trying to piece together every tid bit of lore I can, I hope the world building continues throughout the lifespan of the game! It's a really cool idea

They like sticker bombing their stuff I guess :)

Yup, can't answer that one right now, instincts are correct.

We're working on future world building stuff now as it happens. More to come in that regard.

Something that kinda of bothered me ever since I first heard it in Exodus Pac says Oz wants too start ww3 but wouldn't it be ww4 or ww5 by now? Or are the wars of bf 2-4 not considered world wars?

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.

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).

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.
