Does anyone know what the 1gb update did as from a quick search, it just mentions it being firestorm related and the boys toy being able to damage tanks with APR rounds (though APR rounds do less damage to buildings it seems)

You should try it, you can die pretty damn fast in bfv. It feels hardcore.

Rental servers should be coming, if that happens you can then apply more hardcore settings

Nice to see a BF3 Metro style map making an appearance, if done right that could be a lot of fun.

Problem is with 16 v 16 is if you have 3 or 4 snipers on your team it’s impossible to win.

Pacific theatre maps coming in Autum and rank cap going from 50 to 500 in the coming months.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-06-08-batt...

Like I say every time they up the cap it would be great if points earned while at 50 counted but of course they won't smile Presumably you'll be able to buy your way to 500 should you want to line their pockets with enough silver.

Last 2 days as its been crap weather I have been playing this alot doing the challenges. I joined firestorm and got a decent group we all had mic's and it was great we had a good laugh and did well. Really enjoyed it, even the 2 people never played before had a laugh.

Today joined some Scottish lads and first game we won. I've never won a game before and I got the winning kill by dropping a tank on the bloke lol

Mad how getting a good team or group makes a massive difference.

Anybody been playing the new Outpost game mode?

It's pretty good fun. Very dependant on team effort.

Liking the looks of the new maps too. I hope we get some maps with actual runways - missing since BF4 days - instead planes have just spawned mid-flight. IWO Jima should surely include aircraft carriers and a makeshift runway, or it'll be a bit pants.

Also loving blowing buildings apart with the AT rifle laugh

I have, dont mind it but last night was super laggy though. Firing off flares with animation only to get nothing and still show 2 flares in supplies, bit of rubber banding etc

Dont think their doing the big known battles but concentrating on the smaller ones that arent widely reported on. They should do Burma though

Big PC update today - about 10GB I think.
Since I installed that the game crashes to desktop every time it gets to the main screen (the woman holding the gun). FFS! Thursday is gaming night!

Short of uninstalling and reinstalling the game, any ideas?

Firestorm now has a update with a big fecking dome. Everyone goes for it now rather than the quarry so I avoid it. TBH alot more people with mic's now it seems and that really helps and makes game play better imo

Played that new map which seems quite small but i enjoyed darting around the houses and alleyways

Turned it on other day and got the black screen glitch at the start of a game. Played on new map for a bit and thought ‘meh’. Game needs a rapid rethink as does the pay model.

still playing!

Rush mode is back, which i like. last two gun unlocks have been a bit meh but any new gun is better than just a gun skin or facepaint


this weeks ToW is rush/squad based and it does mean more people playing the objective!

I presume some people are still playing?

If so v1.24 is now available, a hefty 16.4GB update on my PS4 - I suspect it won't arrive for some time on my sluggish 4G connection.

https://www.newsweek.com/battlefield-5-update-1-24...

Lots of bug fixes and weapon balancing, sadly no sign of a fix to the issue of airborne grenades just disappearing or dropping to the group if the person who threw them is killed. They fixed this in BF3, BF4 and BF1 but seem reluctant in BFV for some reason.

Main changes:

link said:
Two New Maps - Lofoten Islands and Provence (Available on Squad Conquest and Team Deathmatch)
Two New Weapons deploying across the next two weeks of Tides of War (Panzerbusche 39 and the Breda M1935 PG)
Max Career Rank increase to 500
