just because he is a CM on battlefield he cant play cod?
It's the current go to in the evenings, when all 5 of the gang aren't online for Counter Strike.
I'm an inconsistent COD player but I enjoy it, even when I'm being smashed up by the sweats.
We spotted an error, 2 were missing from the reward so we're rebuilding it. Wont be long.
Sit tight - We need to get all platform updates out first and then we can set the Login Reward live.
This should happen within the next 4 hours.

Just joined twisted steel, still brits vs germans
New Map Rotation won't be live until all platforms are updated.
This is a common occurence on Patch Days. Old Servers are still active alongside New Servers and it takes a while for the old servers to drain out and be replaced by new ones.
Use the Quick Match options for now, server browser will likely give you this headache.
This sounds great, and really excited for all the new content. Any chance we will see any change to way assignments are set up. A way to change assignments without having to leave the match your in, or sort of list tree for class assignments, gun assignments, etc. Instead of just one long list. I like playing to try to achieve something specific, but sometimes a certain class is just not working for you when maps change and it’s a waste of time to leave figure out how you want to approach accomplish the tasks. Thanks
At this stage it won't change, but has served as a lesson for the future.
when is the next TOW starting?
Weekly Missions return tomorrow.
Any chance for the 1917 Enfield and the Panzerschrek?
The 1917 doesnt offer anything unqiue in terms of gameplay that we dont already have. It's a great weapon, but when we looked at what we could deliver and the time available to us we prioritised things that would help to mix the gameplay up vs. giving you more of something you have.
Similar story for the Panzerschrek.
Both great, but we focused on adding more unique content where possible.
A transport vehicle like in marita
Transport vehicles are on the map
u/PartWelsh is it still possible we get ju-52 :( ... i got mixed feeling with this update.
It's a No. If it ever changes, I'll say, but the expectation here is that it won't release.
u/Braddock512 u/PartWelsh thank you for the notes! Any chance the trailer still drops today as well? Or is that still being held back, considering the events happening in the US
It won't release today and I'm not in a position to set any expectation around when, or even if, it may ever release.
Al Sundan has been removed from the rotation due to VO issue. Here we go again.
I can appreciate the meme - I have all confidence that it'll be back in our next update. The issue wasn't presenting any stability issues, it was just a matter of us hearing completely the wrong set of VO and how it would be very misleading in the gameplay. The fix is simple and already tested its just a matter of integrating it into the next release.
As an update - we're reviewing this with the team and asking if we're happy to leave it in. The VO bug is odd, but not game breaking. I'll let you know where we land.
Sounds nice, more like 'scrambling all that has been created so far into one update' though.
Still no Ju-52 for the German paratroopers in Operations though?
Making Germany defend on Panzerstorm means no more grand Tiger tank pushes, which is sad.
Also Twisted Steel and Panzerstorm now alternating between UK/US is kind of weird, which battles are those supposed to be exactly? Full fiction at this point?
Al-Marj being infantry only is a bummer, but at least provence can be cool with tanks.
Also, still no sign of a single sniper rifle for American recons (Springfield) or single Japanese assault weapon?
For clarity - Twisted Steel and Panzerstorm (and later Al Sundan) will not Alternate, they're US vs. Germany maps following the launch of the update. The only time you'll see it different is during Grand Operations where the maps will remain as they are today.
Quick question, will the US faction be separated for the Pacific and Europe? The Marine Core and Army had very different aesthetics, so it would be nice for them to be separated.
Would make having outfits for each more convenient for fashion folks.
Also mildly disappointed we won’t be seeing the Springfield in game.
Edit: Added 2nd paragraph
They won't be separated, but appropriate new customisation options will help to let players switch up their outfits, along with a lot more new soldiers (allowing for folks top more easily swap their entire loadout by adjusting which soldier is used)
Any new cosmetics?
Yep. We haven't historically listed these in Update Notes. We would have featured some of them in the promotional material, but we'll show these off at a later time.
Looks good.
I have one question: are you guys going to enable the team balancer? Freeman explained that it was behind a killswitch, any idea when you are going to make it available?
We did an initial test on this (on the public client, but on a hidden server) - it didn't play out as expected.
We'll do similar tests when 7.0 launches, but the current belief is that there's an extra fix we need to deploy in a planned smaller update that may possibly release later this month.
Shortest answer - yes, still on the plans and I'll open up more on this as soon as is appropriate.
Am I seeing this right? Twisted steel and Panzerstorm will now be US vs Germany?
Correct - except in Grand Operations where we sustain the current setup.
Hey folks,
Last week, we set in motion our plans to deploy the Summer Update for Battlefield V.
We recognize that there are more important conversations taking place in the world today, so you haven’t seen us publish promotional material around the update this week, similar to how we have in the past on Battlefield V.
We’re otherwise encouraging that we all take notice of what’s happening in the United States, as well as other places around the world, and ask how we can all do more, as we must do more.
Yesterday, we at EA committed ourselves to education and driving meaningful change through actions. This is a long-term commitment that you can read more about here.
Racism should not exist in our society. We stand with all of our African-American / Black colleagues and partners, families and friends, and everyone around the world who is ready to see it end.
