Report it to /u/partwelsh and /u/braddock512, it's best if you do it via Twitter. Jeff himself noticed a tweet with a BF4 recording of some racist scum verbally abusing a player, he asked for the platform and username. Worth a shot.

To be super clear - the best way to ever report incidents is via this link below.

https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment

Our team are able to investigate and action faster when you report directly via the systems that we have in place to manage these things.

We always have the facility to do entirely manual investigation, but if we have it direct from a player, in relation to an incident that you've encountered with another player, our systems allow us to properly match and present this to us so that it can be actioned where appropriate.

I have no problem with people highlighting incidents to myself or Jeff so that we can make sure its seen by the teams who manage our moderation and enact bans, but for transparency, we aren't privy to their tools and tech beyond that, and are never in a position to confirm where action has been taken.

We abhor racism, and abusive toxic behaviour online. We don't want it anywhere near Battlefield. Than...

This is last weeks cancelled mission, reactivated for 24 hours. Tomorrow, the new mission will start, and new missions will continue to run Thursday - Thursday as normal from that point.

We were able to complete our repair work earlier than expected following discovery of the issue last week and so given the option, we elected to activate the remainder of the mission today in case folks want a chance to earn a few extra coins or swing for the Boins

I don’t think they permanently removed the UK from these maps. I think the Allied factions are on a rotation. Sometimes it’s UK, other times it’s US.

We set up 2 new Conquest playlists that support this but needed to revert them whilst we fixed some localisation issues and string text display problems.

In its place, we put the original CQ rotation which still has commands to execute the old setups - we'll update it to fix it next week.

Hey u/Braddock512 and u/PartWelsh this has been happening for the last several days on PC, and multiple people have been saying it has been happening to them. This is concerning as while they haven't been saying anything very vulgar, they could type anything and get us falsely reported.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

is it bad that i saw the 'rn' in the title and thought it was an 'm'?

Minor issue but the M1 Garand is missing in the firing range

Thanks, will investigate.

What's with this m on my screen constantly? It uses the same custom color as my crosshair.

It's a bug. We need to investigate the cause and remove it.

Outpost is so cool. This is my favorite “newer” mode battlefield has introduced

I'm a huge fan of it too. I genuinely believe it has a place in all of Battlefield, and I'm personally (as a fan) in favor of seeing it further blended into Conquest (e.g. on a 5 flag setup, have that key anchor flag as an outpost?)

I'm a terrible game designer (meaning, totally not a game designer) so never listen to my ideas. Every game would be full of Space Ships and Cats otherwise.

The k31/43 x6 scope causes the weapon to not deal damage at range

That's bizzare. I'll send it through to be looked into.

GiveUsDominationMode

/u/PartWelsh So playlist with domination and frontlines will stay forever? If yes i love u guys <3

We need to tweak the names back to normal next week but no plans to remove it.

Pyke64

Thank you for your clear communication. This was a very informative read.

I do have a single question: can we get a official playlist of the two new maps on Breakthrough?

Something like:

- Provence Breakthrough

- Al Marj Breakthrough

- Provence Conquest

- Al Marj Conquest

Could also be an option.

Thanks.

Not this week. Next week we'll have a pure Al Marj playlist, CQ, and BT.

We won't be adding that

I saw Jaqub on Twitter started a thread for people to submit new bugs, I don't have an account so I was hoping you could forward the following.

Ever since the previous update something is acting up with gunfire sound. When reproducing shots from other players, the game often repeats the sequence of gunfire sound with a delay, like an unnatural echo that doesn't suite the environment at all. It seems to mostly affect semi-automatic weapons, sidearms included.

Here are some examples I recorded last month, but it's so common I can easily record more on the current version if needed: www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/gqgow8/new_bugs_producing_strange_echo_to_gunfire_and/
In hindsight I suspect the first clip might actually be a separated bug that has been present for much longer. The last clip instead shows the AT truck playing the firing animation twice, similar to the sound issue but I don't know if it's actually related.

Thanks for this, I'll send it through to Jaqub

Are there any plans to port frontlines to the newer maps and add them to the playlist?

There aren't any plans for that.

(we are looking into this one btw)

Anyway the Panzershreck could be made as a skin for the Bazooka on German Faction or as a powerful battlepickup? Atleast some way it could be a part of the game since its in the files. I would love to see it ingame.

It won’t feature in the Multiplayer.

Amazing as it could be, this is unlikely to happen. I appreciate that taking an existing map like Provence and turning it into a bigger experience feels like a faster or easier solution than building new maps but it’s still a huge amount of work that multiple people have to work on. Provence was the right decision for adding more to but it’s not necessarily the easiest decision either. Hopefully it helps to have that context so that it helps to set the correct expectation for you.

KineticExpert

u/PartWelsh please have the elite skins for the factions they were made for only. For example Misaki will only be on the Japanese faction and will never be on the German faction.

There are no plans to change this in any of our future updates.

Hey /u/PartWelsh the update is great! Loving the new maps and all the new content. Just out of curiosity sake will we be receiving a verbal update on when Community Games will have it’s extra mutators and customization added? Would love some hardcore for this game.

Also I’m sure this is a long shot and it’s not your decision to make, but is a remake of the Lofoten Islands map in the books for you guys just like what you did with Provence? Some island hopping large scale combat would be sweet. Thanks man!

A full update about what will come to Community Games will be shared with you when it's ready for sure. Our usual process will take precedent here though - if it's not locked in to ship, we won't talk about it until it is.

We otherwise won't be expanding upon any of the other existing maps or dropping any new maps.

Hey folks,

Today we launched the Summer Update. If you've missed what's been added, the update notes are detailed here, and you can read more about the update in general here.

Here's a list of things that we've seen happen since the Update went live this morning, and what you need to know heading into this first week.

I desperately need to go eat a sandwich, its been a long day today, but drop any questions you have below and I'll be back later to answer what I can.

Weekly Missions

Today was due to be the first in a new sequence of Weekly Missions that would run interrupted throughout the next phase of Battlefield V. Each Mission Node is now designed to award Soldier XP and Company Coin, and for this first week, we originally planned a final reward of 100 BFC.

Due to a clash with some of the other errors that we discovered today, it caused for the Weekly Mission menu to not show for all players, so some of you wouldn't have understood what challenges you ...
