Is anyone else unable to fire their pistol while downed? I also can’t switch to it when I’m alive.
This is going to sound silly, but did you pick one up? I thought the same thing, until I realized I hadn’t looted one.

Is there going to be a This Week in Battlefield post for the current week of 4/1? Anxious for news of an update! :D
I'm working on it, but there's some items that are still pending, so the TWIB will be a work in progress as we confirm items.
Kinda offtopic but congrats on the new car!
Thanks. My wife loves it. It's a 2019 Mini Cooper 4dr - black, with black alloys, and black interior. Her car now matches my HD motorcycle.
Read moreNever would I intend to interrupt your personal life, I want to make it clear that was not my intent. I understand that everyone is human and needs breaks at times, that much is common sense. However, the “lack of communication” that I’m addressing is in the long run. Cosmetics, for example, have been teased since the first days of BFV, but not once were we given any info or even a rough guess on when it will come. (Friendly reminder it has been a few months now) And now we’re here, waiting hopelessly for content that is almost a myth at this point. The same is for Boins, but I’ll cut it short. The main idea is that you can’t keep advertising things that will continue to get pushed back as the days roll on. I truly hope that the catchphrase “Soon” won’t be a standard to follow. Vagueness isn’t the answer, and is exactly why BFV has been less successful than its predecessors.
I appreciate the response, enjoy the new car and drive safe.
(I a...
Right on. And I understand your frustration. To be honest, there’s a lot of information I’ve been wanting us to share. And we are getting better, but we should be great at it by now. We’re internally working on improving processes and structure to get more details and info to y’all faster, with less red-tape slowing it down. But as you’ve said, we’ve talked a lot about stuff “is coming”. It’s time we show it. So I’m not going to drone on about “we’re going to be more communicative about XXX, YYY, ZZZ”, we’re just going to do it.
You have a good weekend, buddy!
I think the Firestorm moves inward too quickly at the beginning of the round, and by the end the speed is acceptable but does too little damage if you are in the storm. I feel like these things should be adjusted slightly.
I believe the speed at which the firestorm starts is being adjusted with the next update. I’ll definitely share the comment on damage. (I kinda agree. If you’re caught in a blazing storm, it should wipe you fairly quick. On the other hand, you should be able to escape it for a high risk-high reward move.)
Read moreCan we see shotguns on every class? it just would make life SO MUCH easier for all classes to have a consistent close range option. Here's my reasoning:
ASSAULT - already have close range options, give them more to increase variety and playstyles.
MEDIC - more consistent close range option and keeps them at close range where they do their job best - sanitätering!
SUPPORT - Already have three gun classes - more than the others. making shotguns on all classes gives them more options
RECON - Now this is the tough one. Personally, i think recons deserve a good close range option, the SLRs are horrible and snipers require a lot of skill close up to get that one shot headshot if you have a far range sight on. Giving them shotguns allows them to get up close and personal with the enemy and play more aggressively, while still using their spotting abilities to give the team the info advantage. they can stay in chokes and spot enemies down the route, then push...
I am a big fan of shotguns for every class.
Please let me lock my match making to my region. I'm in Australia and constantly getting put into overseas servers for solo games. Is there not enough servers in Australia, or not enough people playing solo? [PS4]
Squads seems ok
Australia has servers in SYD, but if not enough are matchmaking into solos at the same time, it currently makes you ping a different datacenter that is more active. The teams are aware and working on solutions.
Let me ask you this, hypothetically: If it too longer to matchmake (and potentially less players on the server) but you had better ping, would that be a better trade off? It’s a legit question. I’m trying to help identify solutions as well.
I am probably in the minority but I am just not a fan of Firestorm, battle royal, or just free for all game modes in general. Just hoping you guys add more to the core game, additional maps for the rotation and really hoping for 64 player rush. Fingers crossed.
We have a lot planned for both Battlefield V “vanilla” and Firestorm. The roadmap has a details of the next two chapters, and we’re bringing something big in Chapter 5.
u/Braddock512 so much for engaging with the community. You guys wanted feedback, this is feedback. I’d love to have a positive, engaging conversation with you amazing people at DICE but you close your doors to what is really happening at DICE. Let our voices be heard, and let real community feedback be recorded.
It’s the weekend. I’ve been busy all day with personal things - buying a car, spending time with my wife, etc - so I haven’t been responding on Reddit or Forums or Twitter, really. (And let’s be honest, an expectation that I work 7 days a week is a bit out there. That being said, I do try to respond on occasion, but this is my job, and I am passionate about it, but everyone needs/deserves some downtime.)
Now, regarding your point. I submit daily/weekly reports to the studio team and literally every report includes the topic of content - maps, customization, community tools, etc. There’s information coming next week related to customization as well as Battlefield Currency, plus we have an update coming. I know the team is working on updating the Armory - but I don’t have the details on what/when yet. That’s something I’m going to dive into when I get back to work on Monday.
Oh, and I didn’t downvote you, if that comment was directed at me in your previous post. I ...
Read moreHey Guys. We are loving on firestorm and it is a great addition to BFV.
But may I please ask if we can get local servers for Africa? i3D have the infrastructure here in South Africa and are already hosting for BFV multiplayer in South Africa. I contacted them and they confirmed they are able to however they have received no instruction from EA.
Please give us local servers for Africa. Playing at 220ms is ruining the experience for us. Thanks.
This was a good week, although I was pretty disappointed with no updates to the cosmetics with firestorm. Everyone who is at least a little bit invested into this game knows that you are holding back a lot of good looking cosmetics that certainly took a lot of time and effort for the devs to make.
I think we all would really appreciate at least some kind of acknowledgement to the draught in cosmetics and more rare cosmetics in the armory.
We know you guys can do better than what we are experiencing right now.
They’re coming.
Can we please get Duos
Yep. We’re rolling out Duos within the next couple weeks.
Looting is god awful, everything else for the most part is really good. Especially the storm. Honestly I hate the sights on most guns and would rather ditch weapon tiers, would personally rather have just a plan version of each gun and be able to find attachments.
We’re updating loot-spread with the upcoming update.
Wasn't there supposed to be a dev talk last week? Or did I just miss it?
Check the Weekly Debrief. It’s there.
Welcome to the Battlefield V Weekly Debrief - March 29th Edition!

Hey friends,
We hope you've been having a blast with Bombastic Fantastic, one of our new playlists that switches things up.
https://i.redd.it/hn0nvvg105p21.jpg
This got us to thinking:
YOU, the Battlefield V community, know what you like, what you don't, what modes you play, what maps you avoid.
What if you had the keys to magical and mystical PLAYLIST GENERATOR? What would you make?
Some things to keep in mind:
Here's the format we'd like you to use for this:

https://i.redd.it/082qppaupyo21.jpg
From assault rifles to shotguns, SMGs to MGs, we've got a variety of weapons to aid your success in Battlefield V.
Do you prefer long-range engagements, sitting back and picking off the enemy? What's your go to sniper rifle?
What about that up-close and personal close quarter combat? Shotgun, pistol, SMG?
We've seen a lot of feedback from the community regarding the amount of weapons, certain weapons not in the game, and weapons you'd like to see. We've also seen some great conversation regarding balance, cross-class weapons, and alternative ways of using weapons (shotguns as the secondary instead of a side...

On the rare occasions i actually can play BR is okay, but it takes way to long to get into a game.
Platform and region? Details can help. Thanks.
Will there ever be duo?
Yes, it's coming as a limited-time mode in April, as called out in the Overview blog for Firestorm.
Hello Battlefield V: Firestorm players!
As you know, we released Battlefield V: Firestorm on Monday, March 25th, 2019. Since then we’ve been listening to feedback from our players around the globe.
One of the key points we’ve focused on is the matchmaking in specific regions – particularly Brazil, Australia/Oceania, and South Africa.
Matchmaking in Battlefield V: Firestorm requires a certain amount of players to be connecting at the same time to initiate a server. Unfortunately, in some regions with lower player populations, this increases matchmaking time or forces players to connect to pingsites that are more populated.
We are continuing to look at options to improve this situation without having players connect to empty servers, and we’re always listening to your feedback. We’ll keep you posted on any updates or changes as we identify and roll out more solutions.
