DICE Addresses Feedback From Battlefield V Beta
The Battlefield series has had some interesting ups and downs over the years. But with Battlefield V, the team at DICE and EA are wanting to make sure they get rid of any and all issues the game may have before they launch in November. To help with this, they did an open beta recently and made sure to listen to all of the feedback that players have given so that they could implement them into the title.
To prove this, the dev team launched a video that broke down some of the feedback they heard, and how they’re fixing it in Battlefield V.
One thing that they were asked to fix was the new “War Of Attrition Mode” for the game, which apparently was a bit too difficult:
“In community-created polls following the Open Beta, we’ve seen that most players want us to tweak the attrition – which we are doing. In general, players are going to spawn somewhat more capably in the final game. For certain weapons, you’re going to have more ammo, and other weapons will see an increased max amount for ammunition. We’re also considering letting you start your fight with a Health Pouch that can be used one time.”
DICE also noted that some of the more basic things for a shooter have had issues in the beta, like visibility on the battlefield.
“Seeing both enemies and friendlies in the heat of a fight is, of course, vital. As you may know, Battlefield V won’t have the tortilla chip-shaped spotting icons on the top of players’ heads, making you rely on your vision (or the spotting-specialized Recon Class) instead. This is forcing us to create the best player visibility system Battlefield has ever seen.”
Watch the video to get the full breakdown on what DICE is going to fix, Battlefield V will release on November 20th.
