I like Fjell. I can get a lot of AA kills on E and C.

Gotcha. Nope! Not a mode. But if no one is on the server, it will go away. Then you can spin up another Private Game (using the config file you’ve previously saved) and keep on going!

My Entry was from ONE firestorm game.

It was. And it was a great Duo video, not Solo or Squad.

Gotcha, thanks for insight! Not sure if you posted why you made the change anywhere else but Im sure other people would also like to know why you make the changes you do. Keep up the good work!

Let me get that info. I’ll update the OP with it.

Ah it's all fine Jeff. I am happy to be finalist, it means a lot. I am just sharing my thoughts.

And those clips are sure better than my is. We have to be honest :D

Looking forward to your next creation, buddy!

u/braddock512 Just curious if you guys posted anywhere about the updated map rotation and the reason/logic behind it? I personally don’t like the rotation as much as the last but even that one wasn’t the best. In my opinion having the maps run like they do in grand ops would be the best to provide a sense of logical flow. Rotterdam -> Devastation, Some combo of Arras/Twisted/panzer, Narvik -> Fjell, Hamada -> Aerodrome. You guys have all the data but arranging the maps to reduce how much people quit between rounds because a map they don’t like has come up would be cool. Anyone else feel this way?

That’s the data we looked at. And put the big maps closer together.

Neat fact I found out! The new rotation doesn’t mean every server will be the same. Some started earlier/later in the rotation. So folks that want to play big maps closer together can, then jump to another server and check the current map to know where it is in rotation, while folks that prefer the city/closer quarters maps with my bail on a server when Hamada or Panzerstorm come up in the middle of the rotation.

Same thing here, I put in one clip and I had so many more that would make for a good montage. :/

We’ll have a bunch more contests.

Congratz to winners, good video picks.

But I though you can share only one clip because offical rules said and I quote:

Send us a 90-180 second clip showing us your most outrageous, intense, or funny #OnlyinBattlefield moment IN SOLO PLAY in Battlefield V: Firestorm.

I didn't want to edit more clips into one video because of this and I had so many great moments recorded. I mean name of contest was "Only in battlefield moment" and not moments or montage of moments. Sorry but I think many misunderstood, including me

You were still a finalist, buddy.
Your artbook is on the way!

I'll make sure the next rules are a little clearer on being able to make montages/multi-clip videos.
You still did great!

Yeah, but when will the plane glitch be fixed? With the resupply fields not working still for the last week or so? Please does anyone know any news about that?

They should be fixed with the next update.

Well, excuse me, I don't mean to sound rude but from our perspective this looks like you can literally ban anyone you want and hide behind your standard excuse like it's some sort of lottery. Hooray, we won, we got our prize. Keep laughing.

I don't understand this reference, but I'll address the other part.

I don't think you're being rude. I can understand frustration. I'm sorry that it looks that way, but that's 100% not the case.

The fact is, as I've stated above, the appeals go to TOS and go DIRECTLY to the anti-cheat admin - who saves all evidence and has all the details on why a ban was put in place. If there is any potential doubt about the veracity of a ban, the investigation continues BEFORE the ban happens.
In the case of compromised accounts (which do happen because people don't want to do simple things like add Google Authenticator or other 2FA security measures on their accou...

I know, man. I know. I raised concerns about this with the team Monday and yesterday.

On April 5th, 2019, we opened up the first (of many) content contests featuring our partnership with Nvidia.

https://i.redd.it/pj0rwadychy21.jpg

The rules were pretty simple:

  • Play Firestorm as a Squad or Solo.
  • Capture some great moments in-game, showing off #OnlyinBattlefield moments.
  • Submit a 90-180 second HD YouTube clip of that video.

And the prize? Pretty fantastic, I must say. Squad Contest winners receive FOUR Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080TI GPUs (one for each member of their squad) and Solo winners receive one video card.

https://i.redd.it/ygelfyh1dhy21.jpg

So, how'd the first #OnlyinBattlefieldV #Firestorm contest turn out? Pretty good! We had over 800 submissions in the two weeks the contest was running. We ended up with around 10 finalists (combined). Gotta read the rules if you enter a contest. ...

I understand this, really. But how should you prove your innocence if you don‘t know how and don‘t get any assistance?

Well, the fact THIS particularly case has been reviewed by the anti-cheat (a person) at least 4 times - there's nothing to prove, especially with the evidence the team has (and no, we cannot release the evidence as it literally would undermine the entirety of our anti-cheat process and detection methods.) And, honestly, the occurrence of true false positives is negligible. The team is dedicated in not having these occur, and so when there is a ban, it's pretty irrefutable.

I think the main problem with this cases is that there is no one at EA Help asking for further information/evidences. People only can guess what triggered the ban. They provide their information to EA Help and only get prefabricated answers. On EA Help site it says that an advisor will contact you for resolving the issue. But as I said, no one asks for further infos. How should you provide these without knowing what to provide? And tbh, I don't believe that a legitimately banned cheater would deal with this. And to be fair, I truely support that "non-tolerance" politics against cheaters. As long as it doesn't affect the wrong ones.

That’s a fair point. But again, if the advisor goes into detail on what triggered the ban, it can be used to update/re-engineer cheats to be harder to detect.

And you wouldn’t believe the amount of blatant cheaters - super obvious hacks and whatnot- that claim innocence.

It's a known fact that bftracker stats are not 100% accurate and reliable. As u/Braddock512 said, these are third party web sites and therefore DICE is not responsible for the data (and quality) they provide. I'm also pretty sure that they don't use bftracker stats for anything internally. Why should they use inaccurate third party data? They have the real ingame data...

Yeah, we don’t use 3rd party sites for stat tracking - we track them much more efficiently and accurately internally. And - we don’t base bans on stats. We base bans on cheating.
