After reading about the leaked picture of an unknown map called "Provence" and its origin I got curious and went on a journey through the Battlefield game files.
In this posting I want to share some info I found about the upcoming Battle Royale mode called "Firestorm". Everything in here is based on hard data present in any BFV client (I'll show a lot of code "snippets" later on and everyone of them is directly connected to Firestorm), but this doesn't mean we will see everything right of the start. E.g. I've found fleshed out code entries about an LFG option for Combined Arms and yet we know it is not available to players.
Please be aware that I've only little experience in Battle Royale games (played maybe three rounds of Apex, saw some Fortnite gameplay on Twitch and PUBG lies on my steam pile of shame) and therefore maybe misinterpret some data.
If you have additional ideas about some code snippets - feel free to share them in the comments! And be aware: it looks like it is going to be a "classic" approach to the Battle Royale genre so don't expect to be blown away by the following lines and data. Let's get started...
Battlefield Firestorm
"Do whatever it takes to survive. Compete solo or in a team to be the last one standing in a vast and dangerous world. Scavenge for supplies, outrun the Firestorm, and fight your way to victory."
(snippet: ID_SPARTA_CASABLANCA_ROYALE_DESCRIPTION)
General info and game mode start
- three variants: solo, duo (2 player teams), squad (4 player teams) with a player maximum of 64 per match
- typical Battlefield classes will be present / choosable (snippet: ui/shared/widgets/classinforenderwidget)
- code shows signs of an LFG system and "backfilling" entries
- will have a separate ranking system
- will (probably) occur in Tides of War - at least the code for a connection is already there
- takes place in Norway (snippet: "/sparta/casablanca/royale/dk_norway-bd00e4f9.png" - also the level name itself contains the word "norway")
- you parachute from a plane into the war zone (snippet: Paradrop_Exit)
- your hud will show an altimeter during the free fall / flight (snippet: ui/ingame/hud/widgets/parachutealtimeter)
Gameplay
- if you get shot by an enemy you enter a "downed" state where you can crawl (but probably not fight) (snippet: DownedState_Crawl_LEFT_3)

I follow a Twitter channel that live tweets news from the First World War. We've now reached the end of the war, and there are pictures of all the barbed wire that βof courseβ now needs to be cleaned up. It occurred to me just how many men and machines it would take to repair the damage done from the English Channel to the borders of Switzerland. Can someone tell me more about that process? Thanks very much!
-TTK is ridiculous
-0 team balancing
-Rampant cheating
-Multitude of glitches and bugs
-Maps with inherent balance issues
Doesn't matter if you are USSR, India, China, UK. If Moscow falls to the Axis it's game over. You can contain/conquer Japan but if Germany caps Moscow and has control of Eastern Europe, its a nearly impossible uphill battle. There's just too many important resources/cities on that part of the map.
Secondary most important theater is Africa, because if Italy captures enough of it, it weakens the Allies to the point they don't have enough resources.
Tip for newbies, if you are playing China or India, or even the UK, you need to send at least a token force in order to prevent the capture of Minsk and Stalingrad.
I'm writing a short story and was wondering if it was plausible
Amiens was a fantastic close quarters town map in BF5, but was excellent for all styles of play and all different weapon types.
Some of the points are choke-like with lots of buildings to use as cover. This map would be excellent in BF5 and would be a great remaster especially considering the map played so well.
Plus Amiens was a heavily fought place in both wars with multiple raids, bombing runs etc specifically targeted on the city of Amiens. It had enough prominence in both wars to feature in both games.
Please remaster this map, and keep it a faithful remaster as a 64-player lobby on Amiens is a treat to play. What do you think?

Support has always been my favorite class to choose in battlefield due to the variety of gadgets and the use of lmgs being good at suppressive fire and being fun to use. However in Battlefield v since launch I find myself struggling to enjoy the support class it's still my most used class but I have a few gripes with how they've handled the class in this game.
Firstly I dislike the concept of MMGs as a whole, they force a static gameplay due to practically forcing you to either prone or find a surface that might let you deploy your bipod on to actually aim down sights. Many players have complained about so called "MMG campers" but what do you expect players to do since DICE in all their wisdom decided that they needed to force players to be static to actually use the gun effectively. This has made it impossible to PTFO with mmgs since if you actually try to use them while mobile you'll have to try and kill other players with hipfire which doesn't exactly go out well since SMGs and ARs will easily kill you. You're also made an easy target for Recon players or Assault players with semi autos if you try playing from an defensive position near the objective so you'll see people just hole up in a building with them a majority of the time. Both battlefield 1 and 4 had lmgs that would've classified as mmgs (M60-e4, Mg-15, mg-14, MG4, and m249) and they were balanced because of a longer ads speed then other guns so I don't get why DICE decided to make them stationary only guns basically I wish they'd just allow you to ads them normally but I don't see it happening because that'd mean DICE would have to admit they didn't design something well. I know I can use lmgs to ads normally and do use them but the guns classified as mmgs in this game have always been my favorite archetype of lmgs in bf.
Next we got the gadgets which are pitifully limited in this game compared to previous titles. This time around we get access to AP mines, AT mines, AT grenade launcher, and a lunge mine outside of the usual ammo box and pouch. Battlefield 4 had a vast amount of gadgets to choose from for different situations now I know bfv is limited in gadget options due to the time period but even Battlefield 1 had more variation in gadgets (R.I.P. Mortars). I think Support should've got the sticky dynamite since C4 was a staple for support in both bf3 and bf4 and they should've figured out how to balance mortars instead of removing them. Support has no unique gadget besides the Ammo b
