Why does EA give up Battlefield V so quickly?

Hello there,

I bought Battlefield V Year 2 Edition two weeks ago. I played the game on my friend's PC and despite the bugs, unlike most people, I liked the game very much and bought a copy. 

After that I learned that there will be no new chapters for Tides of War. I want to ask everyone from here, Why EA give up Battlefield V so quickly? Okay maybe it's not the best Battlefield game but can such a labor be easily abandoned? We want to see Eastern Front, D-Day, Soviet Union, new maps. We want to fight on the streets of Berlin. We want to play more Tides of War chapters.

Dear EA employees, please don't give up Battlefield V so easily.

Isn't there anything we can do to save Battlefield V as players?

I'm sorry if I made a misspelling. English isn't my motherlanguage. Just wanted to share with you how i feel about news about Battlefield V and to find out if there is anything we can do as players.

Thank you very much for your precious time.

    Hey @MeistHero 

    First off, I'm glad you're enjoying BFV; it's no BF3 or 1 but I think they still improved on a lot of things.

    It could really be down to any number of things - Frostbite is apparently very hard to optimize, internal shake ups, creative and marketing butting, various bugs rearing their head, etc. etc.

    To bring up your other point about D-Day and stuff - the dev team wanted to shift the focus to some of the lesser known battles and the community really didn't seem to like that.

    You can make your plea over in the main forums though I'm not sure how well the average forum goer will react. Don't worry though - servers aren't shutting down so we can still enjoy all we currently have (plus some potential content in June).

    Despite various issues, I like how V improved some things - As long as they take what they learned here, I think putting all hands on deck for the next title is the right way to go 🙂

    Hello @MeistHero

    I'm not EA employee but i can give you my opinion.. 🙂

    BFV has really big problems after launch and it continued.. (bugs, crashes and more...).. DICE did really great job on fixing things but then.. TTK was changed like for 3 times and players were mad.. Content delayed or not delivered..

    So many things that DICE really wanted to do with BFV and they wanted to make it as best as they can..

    I still love BFV how it is althrough there were and still are some issues but DICE was giving all the best for it.. So from my view.. It will be better for DICE to stop working on BFV and fully focus on new Battlefield game and show all those players that played BFV that DICE can do much better Battlefield game like they did in BF3 or BF4, BF1.. 🙂

    HI @MeistHero
    To me, abandoning the battlefield V is the right decision to focus on the battlefield VI.
    I'm really excited about any news about Battlefield VI, and I'm looking forward to a big game that makes us proud as a battlefield lover.

    @MeistHero I know it can sometimes be hard to try not look at the negatives but there is always a silver lining and this situation is no exception.

    With the team not needing to consistently work on new content for BFV which has had a multitude of changes mainly staff which has caused any of the hiccups. The new and old team can come together and spend more time fine tuning the next iterations of games.

    This in turn should allow them the ability not only improve the mechanics but give some breathing space and talk and truly understand what it is the playerbase wants in a game. I believe we will see the return of the CTE program, longer Alpha and Beta testing periods and highly likely more Community Manager and Developer interactions with the general audience.

    COVID-19 hurt many industries hard and with so many people staying at home the demand for the studio, the abuse the CM's recieved and the wave of new players was too much for any company to handle. This was no ones fault and had COVID-19 not existed we may be in a very different situation.

    For now what we can and should do as players, is give our love and support for this title and the team behind it, give honest feedback and where things could be fixed without the need to abuse to get the point across, create small communities within your region and interact with the Community Managers, see where you may be able to help take some of the load from them.

    This is the time for all of us to get it right and not just for the title we all love but for all future games both in content but public relations. The past is the past and the 2010's might have ended sour but the future is still ours to choose, so let's get it right.

    Thank you guys, this post made myself happy and proud. 

    For myself still love BFV, but the drive to play was mostly Tides of war. Great way to loose everything on my mind and just enjoy a game.

    Now myself playing for some gold weapons and medals. Replayed the Warstory which I enjoyed so much again. 

    But also with my recent post this evening I'm afraid I'm also one of the players who is getting sad about all the things going on. (Like the BFC bug, although great work done on that including communication, but it looks like Jenga. Remove one stone here, something else happens over there) Looking forward to Beta testing. Open for bug reporting. You will not hear me in a TTK discussion. Leave that to others. But just have it run smoothly and in team play. 

    One advice I can give (although not ask for) Look at the assignments as well. 9 of 10 is not encouraging teamplay. Getting gold weapons got even into a business model for company's.  

    Would reconsider those parts. Challenge nice but just reward on overall and not by round, Try to stop with X kills over 50m, (perhaps besides the class with rifles with scopes. Nope will not use the S word as it's banned in chat)

    @MeistHero The AHQ has some pretty amazing people, from the Community Managers that take time to acknowledge us to the players that simply come here to read. This is where you'll find the people who are truly passionate about the titles they play, we might not all agree on certain points but there is a mutual respect for each other. You'll make some amazing friends here if you continue to stick around, I know I have. SO I look forward to seeing more posts from you in future, 🙂
