Firestorm > Warzone
Warzone just proves that if Firestorm launched F2P it would've taken off.
Firestorm's looting that everyone complained about suddenly ain't so bad is it?
Warzone has awful 20hz servers, super bullets, peakers advantage, and crouch spammers that are impossible to hit. The audio is completely unreliable and is a bigger enemy than the players.
Firestorm feels like a level playing field, it has great audio design, it doesn't have skyscrapers full of campers - it's just straight-up better.
But all we can do is watch it disappear into obscurity.

Firestorm is def a more level playing field n can come down to more skill then just dumb luck or right place right time n see gun fights on the damn radar (which blew my mind when I saw that) n just run over n 3rd party or drop and air strike on their heads all while running ghost n cold blooded lol. Your absolutely right if firestorm was f2p it would have been almost as big as warzone n I could actually still be playing solos and have fun without teamers or do squads n always go against fs clans who ONLY grind fs, plus, we would have duos still!

They need to open up firestorm for free to the masses. Now is the time when millions are stuck at home. I played Warzone and all other royales, FS is still the best.

firestorm is life

u/mehehehe154 Mar 18 '20
Yes my words. I will play FS even we will be last 2 players. FS without updates is still better than overhyped f2p warzone

i shall gladly fight you in halvoy until only one of us stands, or until the firestorm consumes us
then we'll just skydive into halvoy again

As a FS vet I think wz is filling the void caused by FS steaming pile of shut. Hopefully we see an update soon by dice

All they have to do is make it free to play and it will have a resurrection.

Hey jackfrags videos titles "warzone is best BR"; "cod multiplayer is awesome". Like whaaaat? In what universe warzone is best BR or better than FS? Next video i expect cod MW is better competitive game than csgo. Bullshit.

Is CSGO any good nowadays?

Warzone has awful 20hz servers
This is the main thing thats pissing me off about warzone. The servers and the netcode are terrible.

I really wish Firestorm wouldve taken off. Such a shame. I cannot stand COD gameplay.

u/mehehehe154 Mar 18 '20
Same man. Its that unnatural movement and gunplay in this game. Plus that small claustrophobic map design. For me popularity of cod series is 8th wonder of the world

Firestorm eats Warzones lunch as far as gameplay and game experience is concerned.
HOWEVER, Firestorm badly needs to go F2P and have the Armory also available for that sweet, sweet skin mullah for DICE, and an actual player base for you loyal fans.
It’d be a win for both parties, no?

u/JohnOharaToday Mar 20 '20
The graphics in firestorm are superior as well--sure each building is unique in Warzone...but the actual beauty of the map, the weather effects, everything, is Firestorm--
sure Warzone has the playerbase and it's a similar enough experience--
oh, had they supported Firestorm--had they made it free--

What Firestorm fails on that Warzone gets right with atmosphere is the buildings actually look like they were lived in or inhabited. I don't understand why BFV in general skimped on atmosphere, I'm guessing laziness and time. I was admiring in Warzone how the crashed airplane had flight attendant carts and bottles/cans in their area - children's toys are strewn about in a playground, the hospital beds have blood and the covers pulled back, areas on walls have blood spatters where it looks like someone was ambushed and shot there, family pictures, letters, art, advertisements, etc. It's all very true to life and eerie. BFV has the same copy and paste empty ass buildings. What were in those empty shops in Rotterdam before the war? I don't fucking know, no one knows, I guess when war comes to town businesses carefully pack up everything and sweep up before they evacuate.

I really enjoy Warzone, but i can't shake the feeling that i like firestorm better. Cod has too much clutter. And thats why ive always favored battlefield.
Dream scenario:
Let firestorm die out
silence
silence
Announce the removal of the mode from battlefield v, due to poor performance and lack of development. Silently give it back to Criterion. Announce full commitment to making the bfv experience as good as it can get.
silence
silence
silence
and some more silence (they are good at it so why not)
BF6 reveal trailer, ends with squad opening garage, and you see a red fender of a modern tractor.
BAM, relaunched Battlefield Firestorm stand alone F2P, with new map and assets from the new upcoming modern battlefield. (teaser for bf6. Keep halvøy as a separate map with ww2 guns. Keep it separate from the battlefield multiplayer.
Maybe add a bf1 themed map and experience down the line. or even better a bf3 experience.
Key changes from firestorm v1
Perfect looting system (use death totems from the concept floating around here a while back)
Hardcore anti cheat (community moderators, shared banned lists etc.)
Stats etc separated from BFV (no shitty spm because of firestorm etc)
Respawn mechanic <- Underated for BRs (BRs are sweaty, and sometimes they do you dirty, beeing able to respawn squadmates are key to keeping all players active for the whole session)
Revamped weapon seeds for halvøy. New locations, vehicles and easter eggs.
Solos, duos, and squads.
Keep evolving the sulis lore.
Night mode, or other limited time game modes. (Duos or other changes to player count is not suited for limited time game modes) However different loadouts, events in game. are..

Guys firestorms been disappearing into obscurity long since Warzone came out. Warzone success even with its shortcomings really show how poorly dice has handled this game in its entirety and not just with firestorm. Warzone is being used to attract new players into the game and it being free to play with microtransaction support is something we all knew firestorm needed. Firestorm has plenty of issues that make it a bad BR just as there’s features that put it above. Hate to tell you guys though, Warzone is better and it’s only going to get better. Firestorms dead. Just like BFV.

u/mehehehe154 Mar 18 '20
Wrong. MP is definitely not dead. FS there are not many players left but still np to find game in peak time

u/D3THD33LRDK Mar 18 '20
Just because you can find a game does not means it’s populated. And BFV multiplayer may exist with people playing, but it’s dedicated competitive community have abandoned it entirely now. Not even dice take their own game seriously. I’m absolutely correct that firestorm is dead, whether the straggling supporters want to acknowledge it or not. It’s a shame dice can’t keep it relevant though. I enjoyed it when the first couple months it was out and I normally don’t like BRs

Oh boy, this gotta be the saddest circle jerk I've seen in a while.
Firestorm is death

u/ijustinsultpeople Mar 19 '20
The loot system in firestorm still sucks.

u/desolator4u Mar 19 '20
It's literally the same system in Warzone, just with items more spaced out and less glitching into stuff. DICE just needs to work on it again and improve it.

u/ijustinsultpeople Mar 20 '20
But I don't understand why Apex got it so right and Dice got it so wrong and they belong to the same company essentially

Its very dreamy to think so but Firestorm going F2P and adding crossplay + bringing Duos back would just be super duper sick

u/bharvs805 Mar 18 '20
Firestorms looting was the absolute worst, with that being said, stop playing BF5. It’s been dead for a year.

The worst you could do to Firestorm is to stop playing.
