While DICE might be moving on to this year’s still-untitled Battlefield game, it looks like more details regarding Battlefield 5’s development is surfacing from those who worked on the shooter.

Over on Twitter, former DICE employee and Battlefield 5 Design Director Alan Kertz has posted some interesting stuff about Battlefield 5’s development, and then some. In one of these tweets, Kertz mentions that the game was hard to “salvage” given it was “so divided internally:”
It’s hard to salvage a game which was so divided internally on what it should be, especially coming back from parental leave after being away the entire main production period.
I gave it a direction. Not everyone liked it and not all of the direction was achieved. That’s life.

Also on Twitter, Kertz mentioned that he pushed for the base game to adopt the Firestorm (Battlefield 5’s battle royale mode) armor system, though it never came into fruition.
I tried to give you 600ms gunfights in BF5 and you revolted. #tableflip

For the record I had designs to bring the armor from Firestorm into base game and make it a team play buff from Assault. But the legs got cut out from under that.

Given how implementing this would have made the time-to-kill even longer and such, this change not seeing the light of day is a good thing, no?
In related news, another former DICE dev has spoken out about Battlefield 5’s development as well. Check out David Sirland’s comments on fighting the TTK hard changes, and how things would be different if it was up to him.
Hopefully, this year’s Battlefield game will see a unified DICE studio working on one vision for the shooter franchise.
Of course it was, you had the level headed developers going against the SJW snowflake devs trying to change historical accuracy to appease other snowflakes, time which could’ve been used to improve the game instead of making it the pile of dogshit it is today, never would I ever thought I’d be bad-mouthing a Battlefield game, but here we are, Battlefield 6 is the last chance of redemption.
Outside oif the SJW stuff, the game had serious identity crisis sa well. I think that’s what did them in more than anything.
There was no SJW stuff…Thats a myth that low IQ people constantly fart out about everything because they’re dumber than a bag of hobo’s diarrhea and broken dildos….Its frankly hilariously pathetic how many losers start farting on about SWJs the instant da weemonz gets put into ANYTHING
Wow your sure jump to defend when SJW is bought up lol what is that saying? It look like your a bit offended
The devs openly spoke about it. One of them went wailing about his daughter and ‘misogyny’. What a simpleton you are.
It baffles me to no end that there are people like you who exist to defend deplorable actions and statements made by shallow, deplorable companies, whilst simultaneously dunking on those who validly criticise said companies. Just pathetic.
Battlefield has been a dumpster fire since year 2 of BF3 when ea began chasing cod’s shadow and esports bs.
Yet the idiot no mic morons who play this horse 💩 are upset about female representation and prosthetic arms because it is unrealistic or woke.
NEWS FLASH: Battlefield isn’t in anyway represenative of realism. It is a video game where you die over and over while your dip 💩 squad is shooting at helicopters instead of the guy putting c4 on your tank.
When I look at your squad scores or score per minutes in relation to your negative kdr and idiotic tactics, I am thankful that you don’t actually have a microphone and 2nd I pray for nuclear Holocaust because you all suck.
You woke, anti-woke losers.
I think you completely miss the point. You get one dislike from me.
Well since we’re exchanging gifts, you get a block from me.
Have a nice day blueberry.
Lol well done child – you miss the point and run away from criticism. You are the soft product of todays political spectrum.
And they expect me to think the next one will be good.
Ha!
Thanks for sharing this! I’m delighted with your blog, where such important moments are captured. All the best!
