  • Sounds familiar thinking back on PUBG - when players drop after the end of the match making there would be a lot of parachutes with inactive players going down at the far end of the flight path. Could be EA/ Dice did not let these players swan at all, resulting in low numbers at the start of a round.

    RE waiting times: same observation on PC this morning.

    And yes also no firestorm selection in the mode-menu on PC

    @II__SUSHI__IIAn interesting theory. I believe the PUBG issue was due to players wanting to collect experience/currency/loot while AFK. Can't do that in Firestorm. Also the hanger was reporting only 24 players when the game launched so it sounds like the issue is earlier in the match making process.

    Considering this, what you posted in your initial post seems to pinpoint the issue. I guess with the running tide of war this will not be an issue anymore - for now.

    @VIP-AHMAD-007Very nice that the Dev team is responding on twitter and not their OWN DAMNED FORUM. Would be nice if somebody was looking at the threads that they've asked us to POST HERE. Wow.
