Is it true that DICE LA is getting shutdown or laid off?!
There’s apparently workers from DICE leaking that EA is shutting down DICE LA due to BF5 being a failure in the eyes of investors.
No.

Jeff, any info on what's happened/happening to the UK servers?
Are they down for maintenance? or gone forever? Haven't seen one in a few days.
Sorry, I’m on PTO but here’s what I have: I checked with the team and it looks like they consolidated the data centers in Frankfurt to reduce matchmaking time and increase consistent matchmaking. I’ve already escalated this regarding some comments that ping has been impacted. I won’t know more until everyone is back from work Monday/Tuesday. Sorry I don’t have more info, buddy.
Oh nice! Is it tentatively coming next week?
It goes through Cert next week and notes will be finalized. When we have locked a date, I’ll announce it.
I think calling the main multiplayer and the core playerbase’s reason for owning and playing BF “vanilla” may be indicative of Dice’s attitude towards its main consumers. Kinda like F8rge taunting us by wearing his Soon shirt.
I think you’re reading too much into me using the term vanilla. Perhaps core MP would be a better description.
And Ben isn’t taunting anyone. It’s a silly meme on a shirt.
But if that’s how you want to view it, nothing I can say will convince you otherwise. Have a good weekend.
Meanwhile firestorm is going on 3 weeks with no updates...sad because it’s the most fun have had in BFV yet but it needs some love
The next game update includes updates for all of Battlefield V - MP ( or as some may call it -vanilla), Combined Arms, and Firestorm.
Here we are, Friday again, with another Battlefield V Weekly Debrief. Let's get to it so we can start our weekend!

why does it crash when I try to join a match of Grind

This week's Tides of War Chapter 3 Storyline focuses on Grind, our new variation of Conquest that drives linear gameplay and intense infantry-focused action. The Tides of War Storyline nodes will matchmake you into the Grind playlist, with the 4 map rotation of Narvik, Rotterdam, Devastation, and Twisted Steel. For more info on Grind, check out our Welcome to Grind community blog.
Complete this Week's Storyline and you'll be rewarded with the De Lisle Commando Carbine, a medium range Bolt-Action Carbine for the Medic class. The De Lisle Commando Carbine was a British firearm used during World War II with an integrated suppressor. Combined with its use of subsonic ammunition, it was extremely quiet, possibly one of the quietest firearms in the world.
Read more External link →I know my comment is either going to be buried or ignored, but what I’d assume your grand plan to be is having a weekly or monthly rotation of certain gamemodes. Like have rush available one week of the month, then the next month make it squad conquest etc...
Pretty much. That’s what I’m pulling for, at least. (The rotation, not ignoring you.)
Does anyone else see a BF1 thumbnail for the post? This is f**king hilarious
Yeah. I don’t know how that happened. Reddit is weird sometimes.
u/Braddock512 I think it would be really cool if we could use the bayonet as a close-range melee weapon like the hatchet. Instead of only having a bayonet charge, maybe you could select bayonet as your melee weapon and then you would be able to walk up to someone and give them a bayonet poke. Another idea I see here sometimes is being able to walk around with grenades in hand, and pulling the trigger would throw the grenade. I think these features would be awesome in BFV, but let me know what you think!
That sounds insanely cool.

No, but you’re not really looking to have a conversation. Have a great day!
Omg does that mean Squad Conquest is coming back as a permanent addition???
We have some big plans for Squad Conquest. I’ll have a blog next week.
Is there ever a chance that any of these modes would become a permanent addition to the game, if popular enough?
Potentially. We’re bringing Squad Conquest back next week, so there’s always a possibility that the popular experiences will return.
For long periods of time there isn’t anything “extra” on rotation either so would be good if there was always something different available. Maybe rotate these new modes or something?
I agree!
have you thought of putting some of these limited-time modes as part of a grand op as a way to include-but-not-limit?
It would increase variety in grand ops and still keep some limited modes in game, like how rush works in that panzarstorm grand op.
Interesting idea - make a new Grand Op with the 4 maps in Grind... a GRIND OP, if you will. (Yes, it's a pun. It's terrible, but I stand by it.)
Does anyone have an idea what time duos will be back in the game? What time does DICE usually update the game.
10AM CEST, 8AM UTC, 1 AM PDT.
This game mode is right up my alley, but unfortunately I have family in town for Easter. I might not even get those 2-3 hours. Longer play time would be fantastic.
Maybe have a rotation of experimental/highly sought after playlists on constant 1 week rotations? Duos one week, then Rush for a week, then Grind for a week, and so on... You could pull data from those weeks of game modes the team is working on while keeping the community happy.
Nice idea. I'd also like to be able to tell y'all 2-3 weeks ahead of time when these modes rotate in and out. People like to plan for events.
TLDR when is this mode coming?
Tomorrow.
We want more players per map, and instead were going COD style....
If unwanted COD, I'd play COD.
It's 32v32 in Grind. That's how many players are in the biggest Battlefield maps. How is that "going COD"? It's not like it's 12v12.
