Battlefield Briefing: Launch Update & The Road Ahead

[sporkulla]

Any news on in-game voice chat coming in these upcoming updates?

There is an issue on ps5 where if you select quick throw, you throw both grenades automatically, not just one.

Great work, can't wait until Thursday when ARs are finally working again and all the other fixes 👍

@Anas_ns22 I would prefer BF3 Physics but BF4 is good too.
Just the TV-Missile should be more like BF3 (fast and deadly). BF4 was so weirdly slow (and easy to hit) and did so low damage... I didn't like that.

@Straatford87 Can you please acknowledge that you hear our requests for keyboard and mouse on console? There's been many threads about this in the forums with some very constructive discussion. It's great that you are addressing all of those bugs and it makes sense to address them 1st but we want to know that we've been heard!

I'm not surprised your servers are performing well since your player count has dropped precipitously. Every game I'm in is mostly bots.

How about fix this bloody game by:

• eliminating "specialists"
• let us have both a rocket launcher and a repair tool
• let us have both ammo and explosives
• let us have a party of more than 4 people
• give the helicopter gunner more to do than just shoot a 30mm gun. it needs a TV guided missile or something else
• let the jets turn more than just a tiny bit when using the mouse and keyboard. It's almost impossible to turn in a circle
• if you're going to duplicate BF3, then the tower on Caspian Border should be more difficult to bring down
• give us more than one rocket launcher

All you had to do was make an updated Battlefield 4, and you would have it made. Instead, you mucked it up right good. 

The problems with the game are structural. We haven't stopped playing because of bugs. We've stopped because it isn't fun.

In the game mode breakthrough on maps kaleidoscope and the one with the nuclear launch facility the points on top of the towers NEED to be moved or somehow fixed. They are impossible for the attackers to capture to my knowledge. They are sectioned off so the only way to get to them is the elevator (each door is camped by 6 guys with rockets, shields set up, and turrets) to go up the side with a hovercraft which gets instantly vaporized, or to drop in from above with air support (which gets hacked and turned into confetti by the anti air vehicles and other assorted armor that was called in on the roof). These points are horrible and I've yet to play a game where the attackers captured those points nor have I spoken to anyone in person or over the chat that has seen it happen.

I'm not seeing that much to address the absolutely horrible performance on Xbox Series X. 

I'm getting periods of time sometimes entire matches where the game is stuttering and freezing so badly, nothing moves for 3-4 seconds at a time. It's like I'm getting 1 frame per 5 seconds.

And I'm tired of everyone's response being "buy a PC" 

OPTIMIZE THE GAME FOR SERIES X OR TAKE IT OFF THE STORE

[signaly12]

Great start for sure. Already mentioned that Crossplay on Xbox Series X still can't be turned off but destruction still seems toned down, there's no HDR setting like in BF5, running/ movement looks and feels robotic & stiff, lighting looks flat at times, and the end of round voice concept with specialists making quips in the middle of a war seems off.

Also the ability to play 127 player bot matches solo on Portal would be awesome. Currently it's only 64 unless a friend joins. And the tornado doesn't really as much as I thought it would.

Plus some more cover in the maps would be awesome, the maps seem really open without much cover for infantry at the moment.
