BFV: Firestorm [battle royale]

Post by GreenGoo »

So EA's entry into the battle royale genre has been out for a bit. It's called Battlefield V Firestorm. Here's an link to EA's site.

BFV Firestorm

It appears to be world war II based, which looks like the exact opposite of Apex, in that it is clunky, dirty and low tech, as you'd expect from WWII simulation. I like the look, but it is unlikely I'll shell out the money needed to give it a try. Still, I thought it worth mentioning here, and even if the thread gets little attention, at least it'll have it's own OO forum entry for future reference.

  • Battlefield Core Gameplay: Firestorm comes with Battlefield V’s core gunplay and destruction intact. But expect surprising changes that’ll shake-up battle royale as you know it.
  • Halvøy: This snow-covered peninsula draws the best soldiers into combat on the biggest Battlefield map ever.
  • Objectives: Play as a squad to secure Re-supply Points and Vehicle Lockups that are strewn across the map for a chance at wielding vehicles and gear from Firestorm’s most valuable stockpiles.
  • Combat Vehicles: Command an armory of devastating vehicles over land, air, and sea – including five new vehicles for Firestorm. If you want the power, you’ll have to take the risk and challenge other squads to be the first to unlock the best combat vehicles from Objectives.
  • Reinforcements: Part of Firestorm’s rare loot, call down Reinforcements like the V-1 Rocket, artillery strikes, and combat vehicles to wreak havoc on the battlefield. On the flipside, order supply drops to aid your squad in an instant.
  • Destruction: Firestorm brings true Battlefield destruction to the battle royale genre, making for unparalleled moments and unique tactical opportunities. No more camping in buildings when a V-1 rocket can blow your house in.
