I hope the roadmap will at least include Operation Barbarossa (June 1941 -February 1942) and other factions (US, USSR, Japan or Italy).

Evening folks!
As previously shared by us all on the Community Team for Battlefield V, today we're sharing whats next for Battlefield V.
(We have an article going live soon on the Battlefield Website - I'll come back and update the thread with the link as soon as it's up)
Here's the headlines:
Chapter 3
We'll have more to share in the months ahead, here on Reddit - on the Battlefield Forums, and on Battlefields Social channels. As you'd expect, Tides of War will continue to bring plenty of new content, including vehicles, weapons , gameplay experiences and customization options that we haven't spoke about here. More to follow.

Here's the headlines:

It looks like that website was credible. Three new maps between now and fall. Plus a new faction/theatre coming in fall. I'm good with that
Awaken the Giant is either going to be the Soviets or America. It'll probably be the Soviets since they are going chronologically.

Awaken the Giant is probably US. As sleeping giant by the Japanese about US.
True, but the Soviets make more sense chronologically and they said BF V was supposed to take a journey from the start of the war to the end. Plus it says all out invasion, which makes me think of Operation Barbarossa.
3 maps until fall. How many in fall itself?
The teasing is so annoying, I hate how they trickle info. But im nonetheless excited and hopeful they can build their way back up. Lots of ppl on reddit seem unhappy with the wait tho

Chapter 3 new map is May... god have mercy.
I guess the good news compared to the lowest expectation one could have is that there is 2 map in chapter 4.
New faction for Fall is pretty much what I ( sadly ) expected... but they give yet again no information about what that actually mean in term of content ( such a long wait for so little actual information ... ).
Meh.

There will be a classic map in Chapter 4 isn't it?
I hope "Awakening the Giant" is about the USSR !

I was expecting a way more detailed roadmap. We don't even know which faction is coming in Chapter 5, come on, it's supposed to be a roadmap...

All I have to say is, the new theatre will need to launch alongside a cluster of maps respective of the theme, at least three for it to truly feel like a new theatre.

We hear you. There was similar feedback shared by Gamechangers when they were in Stockholm last week and we're not blind to the conversation. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.

I'd rather have America than the Soviets, but I'd be cool with either. I just find the Soviets more likely because they would only have to design one new faction.
SecondNature Why does it need a new thread when this is already the OT? The OP could be updated with a threadmark as needed.
Awakening the Giant: Prepare for Chapter 5
Get ready for a land, air, and sea invasion in a completely new theater of war. As Battlefield V keeps on evolving, you'll be awakening a giant when Chapter 5 hits in fall 2019. So, where will Chapter 5 take you? Where will you fight, who will you be, and what will we bring you from mankind's greatest conflict? Time will tell. Rest assured, we're committed to expanding your WW2 journey and Chapter 5 will truly broaden your horizons.
Its the Pacific Theatre.
I really, really wanted Barbarrosa, but I think the US will draw more sales.
Yeah, it's probably America/Japan. I don't think Barbarrosa had any sea invasions, maybe in the Crimea. America is more or less already in the game. Shermans in the single player plus a bunch of weapons and gear already. So, they would just really have to focus on Japan.
New news. The average person isn't coming into the OT and they definitely aren't going to be reading the OP.
OK. I think you should link back to the OT from the new topic though, to minimize the splitting of BFV related discussion.
Well it says urban combat so it's likely no Pacific theater, at least not Iwo Jima or Wake Island.
I'm worried if we will ever see 1944-1945 battles (like Normandy, the Bulge, Berlin, Okinawa, etc) considering Greece (April-May 1941) is taking 2 chapters and chapter 5 in fall will probably take place on June 1941 or December 1941 (depending if it's US or USSR).
I hope Firestorm will bring back players to BFV, I absolutely want these 1944-1945 battles.

Iwo Jima wouldn't make sense chronologically since that's 1945.
Wake Island is probably 100%; given the history of it in the franchise and the time line. The only other thing I could think of in 1941 is the Philippines Campaign or they go in 1942 and do Guadalcanal. They also might do the Aleutian Islands Campaign since they want to explore the untold stories of WWII.
So am I reading it correctly? Three maps spread out over 6 months? The seems pretty....barebones?
This makes it all worth while though:

One new map every other month isn't horrible, plus they said the new theatre is going to be at least three maps. So at a minimum we are looking at six new maps by the end of the year. Would I like more? Sure, but you have to remember we ain't paying for shit either.
Also, Medic getting something other than a SMG. Pogchamp.

This is bad.
The chapter rewards have no tanks/weapons, so they only have 3 weapons and a map for this chapter? Let alone the map isn't even out for 6-7 weeks...
Two things could have saved BF from the pit it is in:
• F2P Firestorm
• Beefy roadmap
If Chapter 5 is 3 maps, the entire year of BFV will match the first expansion of BF1... Pretty much what everyone was afraid of when EA says the content is free + we have ugly soldiers and poor cosmetics, with no hair or meaningful diversity in customization.

im guessing their internal metrics must show that people somehow like the combined armed modes if they are assigning more developer resources to it
I already regretted buying this at launch for full price, but thought new maps would redeem my purchase. Coupled with the general quality of the game in regards to bugs and other issues, I now completely regret buying this game. First time for me with a DICE title, what a shame.
This game launched year too early, and as a PC gamer it's a horrible experience, it's hacker friendly and the community has to police the game....sheeeeeesh
Nope, as the other person mentioned Pearl Harbor "Awakened the sleeping giant". There's no way they would use those words without meaning this. it's Pacific, or at least it's the battle of Pearl Harbor. Either way, I'm excited!
Also, I am strangely keen for some customisation options, particularly more skins for vehicles. I actually would rather they threw boins in and ramped up the customisation...maybe we'd get another few chapters out of it then.

I questioned this in the other thread, but I'm curious what the classic map will be. I can't easily think of one that matches the "Urban Combat" descriptor. It wouldn't be Wake Island for that reason, and since the map is releasing before the new (likely Pacific) chapter.
If we do eventually get Wake Island, the historical battle is almost perfectly tailored for a Grand Operation.

Oh, I was just throwing out my wish once or if we get to the Pacific Theatre, but I would also love some Guadalcanal now that you mention it.
That settles it. It's going to be the Pacific. Pretty hyped about this.
I hope iconic and famous WW2 battles will start to arrive with chapter 5 and future chapters.
I mean, "Awakening the Giant" was a pretty big clue by itself but yeah, this is a nice confirmation.
You're probably kidding but i do really hope so. I fucking loved Metro.
It'll be Wake Island.
I thought not making Metro 1914 was a missed opportunity. And in a game where dev time seems to be a huge premium, I wouldn't mind if they reskinned or ported a few maps just to beef up their line-up. Hell, it'd be great to ask to the community to pick them.
Edit: Imagine revisting Zavod during its heyday

I'm just so happy for the Pacific. It hardly gets touched. It's always D-Day or Stalingrad. The last decent Pacific WW2 game was Rising Storm back in 2013. Just thinking about how good the jungles will be in Frostbite.
I am imagining the visibility and amount of prone Supports on a jungle map...
What is up with "Tides of War Assignments"?
I can equip them, and they only give chapter XP which would go where, exactly?
