It is a random event that adds nothing to the game.
We have been close to taking flags when this random nonsense comes in and removes us from the flag.
I have now just seen a storm sweep across a Breakthrough map right across the defenders position.
Result? Position lost.
The storm doesn't add anything.
All it does is remove skill and FPS.
Played every one of them.
No, this isn't the same as evolution.
That was controllable and actually added something to the game as it changed the maps (not always used well but the concept was fine).
The storm is just a useless random event.
DICE/EA have made is very clear that they do not want any team play in this game.
Squads are garbage compared to what they used to be.
They even removed clan tags lol
Lol, you lost your position because of the storm. Hence the storm adds value to the match.
hey, let’s remove bullets from the opposing team while we’re at it.

It was born to become a fully fledged Battle Royal game only, with everyone playing against everybody else. Hence the reason for no need for any team communication, no squad play, no soldier classes, no clans, no in-game live scoreboard with k/d stats, etc etc...
Essentially not a Battlefield game in my book...
Regarding levolutions, then EA/DICE have also broken yet another cardinal rule in Battlefield. Namely that levolutions should be triggered by the players themselves, and not just being some random events with silly random outcomes that totally destroys any meaningful gameplay.
Aka if the loosing team side are getting hammered by enemy team on Shanghai because the enemy has manifested its grip on the top floor in the skyscraper and therefor can parachute in and dominate the nearest 2-3 flags, then the team could take down the skyscraper to try and level the playing field against that dominating enemy team.

@DaveTheBrave_USAEarthquakes and volcanoes would have been cool. What if you could call something in? Do you use a tornado to clear out that first point or save it until the last point in Breakthrough. Or call in an earthquake at C1 when you’ve got a few troops trying to take it. Each team only gets one per round, and you need a certain percentage of players to call it in. Kind of like the old Nuke option.
Yeah that would be like the V2 in BF5. You could have a weather seeding drone or missile which would be active after a side gets so many kills or something like that. Weather as a weapon? I like that. The current US admin say that climate change is a threat to national security and this could be why! The squad leader would have control of it and get cred for the kills like in BF5.

I totally agree this is not a BF game, even though it was marketed and sold as one. They might have had this thing in the works, didn't know what would sell it so they told everyone it was a BF game. All those missing features are what make BF games good and that they are missing was no accident. But it was a mistake.
