Seriously, I know it might be controversial but who cares? It's what actually happened. Why should we care if some journo from vice comes in and writes an article about how its offensive and how the Japanese were honorable warriors who were on the wrong side?

We will have a similar reinforcement to the V1, it just won’t be the one that’s shown or referenced.

I doubt you would be able to control it. It will most likely be equivalent to the JB-2 and V-1.

It’s not coming to the game at all. This one is straight up inaccurate despite any reference to it in the files.

Doesn't count. Anybody can fly in the hangar. The trick is clearing the mountain & you left out the part where you crash into it.

You must be fun at parties.

Does this mean taking a step back from the 'roadmap' approach or will this be revisited after 'The Pacific' with the vision going forward.

Today it doesn't mean anything. We have one Roadmap out there, and how that gets replaced for what comes next is yet to be determined. I just wanted to signal that we may change tack vs. past and current behaviour.

They promised it soon...

Just off the phone with the team - all signs are promising to have the fix out next week, so we are stuck with it for the weekend.

For those curious the issue relates to folks who play on Xbox and hold an EA Access sub (or one that's expired on the account) - odd combination I know but either way it's a priority for us to fix.

That sound of a AT rifle shooting the tank just when he's about to fall cracked me up even more LOL. Perfect timing!

Such good timing!

So withhold more information, until just before release?

  1. Stop giving bad information
  2. Explain faster when something changes
  3. Confirm only when a release date is locked with content 100% ready, tested, certified and good to ship

Can we get the British berets/uniforms from the chapter 4 trailer at least?

We presently don't have a release date for these.

/u/partwelsh thoughts on the latest Westie video? Words like cowardly and pointing out that you failing as a CM?

I was talking to him late last night whilst his video was rendering and uploading. He's not calling me cowardly, he's calling the practice and our communication standards as cowardly - he's frustrated (as many are) that the standard of communication has reached this state, and I believe his criticisms to be fair. He's a good guy, and he's not as you've painted him there.

We've set expectations that haven't been met, and we haven't been responsible enough in helping to manage and reset them sooner. I'll continue to ensure that the results of the past few months are used to better inform decision making going forward.

I'm otherwise not in a position to take away his, or any one elses anger at the situation.

I want to hear DICE their honest opinion about this. And what they are gonna do to make sure this will NEVER ever happen again.

Just be honest with us, please...

Since 5v5's cancellation was confirmed, we've switched to only discussing content and features that we know are coming, exactly when they're coming. There were still misteps made in that 5v5 announcement as we incorrectly listed Operation Underground for September again, and that should have been corrected sooner.

We're more likely now to not release firm details until content is more locked, with the present process being that if it's not ready to ship, we should be more cautious about discussing. We need to be respectful of the timelines that have been presented to you previously, and how frequently they've been missed. Quality is our number one priority right now, and late shifts are going to bring disappointment.

Once we have your confidence again that you feel you are experiencing quality in the game, we'll have licence to push that quality through to our communication, and better ask for your understanding and forgiveness when we find ourselves in a situation ...

The EA Access Silver Pistol on Xbox is a joy to look at. Will be nice to have it out again!

It’s had a 3 month delay and Is a meme within the community, I doubt they have much love for al soondan. It’s made their lives a misery since June. I’m sure they just want to finally release it and crack on with the Pacific.

We all think the map is great, and we'll be happy to see how folks feel about it when they get to play it this afternoon. It doesn't feel fair or right for us to throw it a Party today given that you were due to receive this months ago. That's not right, and we don't want a repeat of that in the future.

Learn to hotfix, role back or disable... And no reason major bugs like Firestorm looting should be in the game for months.. Find a fix and send out an update next day like other developers would do.

That's why people stop playing your game, you never fix broken shit before it's too late, you just promise "soon".

We have deployed Hotfixes in the past, and we were exploring doing it here too for these issues. The reality is that the Hotfix would have required resource to implement, which would have delayed the release of this update. Knowing that there would be a likely chance we could release a bigger, and better update on the 26th vs. having that slip into October meant that it was in the best interest of the game to keep focus on the next update.
