BF V road map revealed
- Thread starter Forerunner
- Start date
Siege and OW prove the model works
BF has just been inconsistent
Look at black ops. No one can play its dlc and those that have are begging treyarch to make the maps free
Why do some games have tons of content while being the same model, heck some even being f2p.
Its all dice/ea:s fault for not trying to keep their game alive. At this point I hope this BFV shakes them enough so things change.
Battlefront 2 didn't release buggy as fuck and missing features so id think this by far the worse support in the series.
Nobody, not even DICE, knows what is happening with the microtransactions. The soldier customization from the pre-launch events still hasn't been activated in the game, it was supposed to be released more than two months ago. Every single promotional art has pieces of customization which are not available in the game... You know the girl from the cover or a reveal trailer? SHE IS NOT IN THE GAME, and neither unique pieces of these outfits:
• No beret
• No no-helmet option
• No beards
• No tank tops
• No tattoos (not facepaint)
• No long hair (There is ONE coin-based head option with hair for women)
7, but Panzerstorm and Giant's Shadow are kinds of delayed launch maps more than anything.
The negativity around this blows my mind a bit. I've had a way better time around bfv's launch than I did bf1. There's been a great flow of new weapons, vehicles and modes to freshen to it up, and firestorm is here on Monday. There's a reason to check in every week.
The one downside has been the lack of maps but panzerstorm is awesome after the redesign and I'm not feeling the fatigue just yet.

This is painful to watch. A new WWII BF game was exactly what I wanted out of a follow up to BF1 and yet I'm still holding off getting BFV because it just looks so limited in scope and this roadmap doesn't help.
If I'm looking at this right, maybe by Fall they'll introduce either Russia or America (maybe Pacific in that case?)? At the very least with previous BF games I always was fine buying Premium because they released a bunch of maps at a decent clip. The post release support for BFV, specifically for new maps just seems glacial. Makes me think they'll never even get around to putting in maps for any of the bigger more traditional WWII battles.

Other games like that have good monetization.
BFV was probably counting on selling skins and such to make up the lost revenue from the DLC maps. People freaked out about katanas and prosthetics though so they backed out of that and now we have crappy customization.
It seems that the problem lies with the finnancial/legal team. For what's been said in Reddit from the devs, one can assume that even if they have more comming, they can't say anything since it's the end of the Fiscal year and are afraid of miscommunicating.
Also, resources. I think we'll get better updates after Firestorm.
The US is in The Last Tiger. There are already models of equipent, tanks, etc.
This is paltry, honestly. As much as I love the core game, BFV has to be one of the worst "live services" to date. They were so ill-prepared for this.
Didn't the game release in October? Jesus that's like 8 fucking months for ONE new map.
Yeah that's true. Naughty Dog mishandled Uncharted 4 MP pretty bad (I still play it on the regular), but every time I boot it up, I can't help but think about Uncharted 3 since it was so good.
So 1 map in May, 1 in August and a remake map in Sept/Oct. Disappointed. Pretty much a whole year to add a new faction. Disappointed.
Very disappointing all round.
Very disappointing all round.
DICE also describes "Awakening the Giant" as an "All out invasion in land, air and sea", so it's 100% sure the Pacific Theatre.
I wanted Barbarrosa :(
I'd actually say they prepared according to plan after seeing the preorder numbers. EA has no intention of birthing a R6/CSGO style live service game. They want to sell yearly titles. Shame, because Battlefield could do it better than most with a live game for each style/setting of shooter.
I wholeheartedly agree. I was very disappointed with Uncharted 4 MP. Not as much the maps, but I preferred Uncharted 2 and 3's MP over 4. I wasn't a fan of the supports, or downing enemies.
Also I wish Flynn's voice actor didn't get changed, I would have been fine if they reused his previous voicelines.
My experience with combined arms is admittedly fairly limited, as the one time I tried to play solo (after failing to match with anyone else), I was met with what seemed like infinite waves of nazis that overwhelmed me.
Which seems terrible, because if they retooled it correctly, it could make for some insanely fun and replayable single player/co op content. Make it more like terrorist hunt, where I can set the number of enemies and the difficulty, and let me loose with my loadout, and a scattering of vehicles across the map to take them all on. That shit would be so fun.
Like, people are STILL playing R6 Vegas 2 Terrorist Hunt, and not one fucking developer out there appears to be capitalizing on that, despite having all the tools right there. It's especially annoying in this case because of how close Combined Arms comes, while missing the mark so badly. A giant destructible map full of enemies that I'm free to fight in whatever way I see fit would be a blast. Infinite waves of enemies that all run at me out of the same door until I'm overwhelmed, making the game unplayable in single player, just sucks.

I would like for them to keep it more simple. Instead of adding all these new modes (which will most likely be underpopulated over time anyway), they should focus 100% on maps, weapons and vehicles. Conquest and Grand Operations are more than good enough modes already, not to mention all the other ones.
The modes are TIMED. Squad Conquest and Rush were always full because of it. It sucks that they're timed but it also solves that issue
BF V is headed to the Pacific

Forerunner damnit! I was about to post that. Ha I think the same thing happen the other day. We both post the same thing within a min from each other.
Well we did get Panzerstorm but if you prefer infantry the map kinda blows.
What's the point of a Pacific theater when the biggest ship you'll be able to pilot is a landing craft.
It barely has any paid content either, the stuff you can buy with company coin is so boring and slim pickings. I'd say the main team is working on BFVI or something else.

Well it did launch a disaster that took them about 6 months of "reflection" to finally sort out the xp system and micro transaction system. Both under sold compared to expectations.
You'd like to think the next Battlefield in 2020 or 2021 will be modern day again and will sell much better. With post launch support 2 to 3 times better then BFV and also launches with more content. Bring back their BF4 and BF3 standards.
Someday we'll wake up and realize how great this game is. Part of me thinks all of this road map should have been included @ launch. Excited! A Good Friday all 'n all.
That and the blog post teasing sea battles seal it. It's the Pacific.
I can now fully bitch about Eastern Front lol
The current Dice team are an absolute disgrace. They've fucked BF's reputation right into the ground with all their bullshit. Every single one of them should hang their heads in shame for what they've done to this series. And the next time anyone uses free dlc as an argument for microtransactions BF V should be the first example of the total fuckery that GAAS are.
Yeah so the way the microtransaction bullshit was pitched was that we'd no longer have to directly pay for BF Premium and all of that content would just be subsidized by the sort of people that like to buy skins.
This, it may have split the community, there was always enough players on servers, but at least we had new maps regularly.
I'd prefer pay for more maps than wait months for only one or two maps.
Guess I won't be playing BFV for two months more at least, it's already been two months without playing...
Thanks EA for forcing dev teams to release games too early, BFV and Anthem needed more time, hope the next one will get enough time and not be another one Early Access.
