Surely it's faster than my full panicked sprint right? Apart from the tractor you will be able to hop into helicopters, boats and even a Panzer tank, risk over reward I guess. Finally, gone are the days of PUBG when you're running through an open the blue zone nipping at your heels and all you wish for is the tractor to drive you a little closer to the safe zone. In terms of the earlier mentioned vehicles the game will be launching with a total of seventeen different vehicles, including a tractor. This is not uncommon for the Battlefield franchise as they have had 64 player servers for quite some time now. The danger zone, or death circle or whatever the other games refer to the ring that closes in on players is now called the ring of fire (throw back to Johnny Cash) and will slowly envelop this massive world that consists of sixteen squads of four players in each squad making a total of sixty four players. Bunkers are also included and can gift you much better loot within them, but there's a catch, it'll take two people to open the bunker in order to snag that delicious loot! Throughout the map there will be conquest style objectives for you to get your hands on different types of vehicles, supplies and weapons. This definitely sounds like an exciting take on the BR scene. A massive map featuring destruction and chaos, buildings being torn down, vehicles to be driven.

Does it suck that it will be released on a Monday? Well, of course it does, but I guess that keeps the mystery alive for all of us!ĭICE also announced that the map that is releasing in Firestorm is ten times bigger than the biggest map that currently exists in Battlefield 5. Yes, that's three days away ladies and gentlemen. Take a look at the official Firestorm release trailer above and join us on the hype bus! As of release date, it seems that Firestorm is set to release on March 25th 2019. But finally we have a little more information on the Battle Royale coming to Battlefield 5. Since the announcement everyone has been scrambling, waiting for announcements or waiting for someone to slip and release a tiny leak, just something for us to crave this hunger for information.

In the cluttered royale genre, you need a long-term hook.At the E3 conference last year DICE announced that they would be diving into the realm of the Battle Royale genre with Battlefield 5. But there's something deadening about the way it slots in among Battlefield V's other modes and begins to contribute to the same XP-powered trudge towards cosmetic items and whatever else XP unlocks. It's out the gate in a very polished state and has all the key ingredients for a solid anecdote generator: crumbling masonry, a liberal scattering of explosives and zippy vehicles, the latter lent some extra spice (and tractors) by the petrolheads at Criterion. Here, why not watch it incinerate me in a handy impressions video.Īs the title suggests, I'm a tad torn over Firestorm. The titular blaze dominates the whole affair, looming on the horizon, chewing the map into tiny chunks of Frostbite engine and breathing its magma-hot breath down the back of your neck like some creep on the London underground.
Battlefield 5 firestorm update#
Having now played the mode, due as a free update next Monday, I can see why they went with it. They called it Firestorm instead, which sounds like a terrible Steven Seagal film you'd buy for 99p at a petrol station. DICE appeared to drop the ball when they didn't call Battlefield V's upcoming battle royale offering 'Battlefield Royale'.
