Don't count on it.
Smells like typical artificial limitation bullshit that's there to force you to play more.
Well that would accomplish the opposite for me. I quickly drop games where I feel forced to play weekly in order to not miss out on anything.
In stream they said there will be other ways to get them later.
That's exactly what they want though. Make it a grind so the micro transactions are really enticing once they are in.
So who's right here? I assume DICE's stream is the most accurate info.
Regardless, we might want to wait for confirmation / clarification before burning down any houses.
I'd like to know this as well. What is the separate mode? Does it just put you in a random other mode?
My other question is did they update the music since the big patch in Grand Operations? Feels like it's a little more noticeable / louder and has different tracks for certain maps.
Dunno, but maybe it was a bug.
But I want able to spawn with the MG42, so I went back to the Lewis and then it finally let me spawn.
Are you playing private servers? Are they even available? I've used it for about 35 hours with zero issue.
Sounds like a bug to me. See above.
Check that if you want the confirmation, its there somewhere: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/344229294
They said in the official stream that there will be other ways of getting the rewards after ToW ends. How much more clarification do you need? The only one saying anything else is Edge, who seems supremely salty at the game and just venting as far as I can tell.
Oh, I don't personally need more clarification. I would appreciate it "in writing," but I'm fine with it nonetheless.
There you go Edge et al.
Everything being locked behind high coin prices is a sign for micro transaction. I know they said you won't be able to buy weapons etc with real money but no one said you won't be able to buy coins. How else will they make money now since they already sell the game for -50%.
Origin Access Premier and cosmetics.
Also—are actual weapons locked behind coins? Or just skills/specializations and skins?
Had a pretty great night 1 with Tides of War. Had Field of Tanks show up in Conquest rotation twice, and enjoyed the tug of war. Going to try and finish off week 1 today before Smash hits.

They kinda did though.
I think it's fairly clear from that image that real money is used to buy "Battlefield Currency" which is then used to buy cosmetic items and nothing else. I can understand the complaint that cosmetic items cost too much Company Coin, but if this is their idea for monetization for the foreseeable future then I'm willing to accept that.

you cant choose your premade loadouts. Wasnt that the whole point of this thing? Loading in and being able to test the stuff you set up with your class?
I agree with him, its half assed.
Well, yeah.
What do you think is funding the development of Tides of War? Good intentions doesn't pay a studio's wages.
Well, i saw the best squad screen for like 2 seconds then a black screen with the loading stuff on top right moving. I had to kill the application.
Thanks. I thought preloads were gonna be available as well. I haven't had a chance to give it a try it yet.
Tides of War assignments bugged for anyone? I was on the third tier, but now its telling me to self heal again
Best part, its not even tracking the self heal a second time, so I can't complete anything. Week 1 needs to be extended until they can iron out the bugs.
lmao I was literally shooting at random teammates to get their attention, spotting the crate for them to pick up a medkit just so I could get the task done. I feel like Dice should just implement an auto pick up from the med/ammo crates if you run over it or by proximity.
It was nice getting healed and stocked up on ammo, since everyone was forced to do it for the tides of war task. I hope it leaves an everlasting impression on the people planning to stay long term, so we can have competent players in squads especially If you're playing solo for a night.
Scouts dont even realize they have the best piece of equipment in the came with spawn beacons, I hope tides of war task changes that shit asap.
What a surprise!
Buying this at launch for full price is probably my biggest gaming regret this year.
Well we had this discussion before and while I agree with you (we will be able to buy coins with real money) people argued that since there is no connection between real world money and company coins this won't happen. I disagree though.They kinda did though.

I'm not really a fan of the new gun. I don't like the passiveness of MMGs and the bipod system needs work.
Any word on a possible PC sale? I know the consoles got a 50% off deal, seems wrong PC players dont also get a deal like that.
If you already have BF1 or BF4, BFV should be 50% off on origin. Only until tomorrow.
So, uh, where are these 5 stationary weapons I need to build? Most of them are already built when the round starts.
I think I'm done with this game. It's decent but it's just not grabbing me the way past games have. I've put 20 hours into it, enough to feel like I at least got somewhat of my money's worth out of it. Maybe I'll be back for Firestorm.
There on two on the B objective in the first sector of Narvik breakthrough.
Can you destroy it and build it again? Someone had already built the snowman on Narvik. So I just destroyed it, built it again, and completed the challenge. It might work for stationary weapons too.
I think this will be a "play for a week and trade back into GS for what I paid for it" game too
I'm enjoying the game despite the state it's in, but I don't imagine that either a large player base will stick around or that DICE will be quick enough with their updates. They have always moved at a snail's pace when it comes to post launch support, even when it was paid content.
Tides of War will keep me coming back. I have around 60h now, but I play a lot less now. I'll hop on at least once a week to get the assignments done.
