I loved the simplicity and the classic take. There's still nothing as awesome as the firestorm circle and the destruction. "IF" they do revisit BR in the next Battlefield I hope they carry over what they had here.
My issue with it was horrendous ux and too slow and bulky. I would take mw2 system over this game’s inventory system personally but it was an interesting attempt and enjoyed watching it again briefly for nastolgia hah.
I loved my time on Firestorm. Got my first ever battle royale win on Firestorm. I stink at BR games but I love Battlefield. So I think that made me that much more interested so I played better. I was so sad when they just dropped it.
firestorm to this day is still the most cinematic battle royal edit: also could've been the best and biggest BR ever made but dice was like "eh 2042 better"
Firestorm was the best battle royale made, graphically, destruction, tanks, the firestorm itself, immaculate. Its a shame that nobody appreciated it when it came out
I’m a battlefield fan and I never heard of this! This is why it failed I don’t know why I never heard of this until now I’ve okay ed so much PubG Fortnite warzone. Oh this would have been so much fun!
Wow! I didnt even notice that first time. Very very cool! I just think sound should travel slower in the game to kinda match to real life. But very cool anyway!
@@mydog3272BF5 is beautiful but did you notice how everything kinda looks smaller in BF5 when comparing to BF1 for example? For example, it is expected that the further a player is from you, the smaller they will appear. But in BF5 it seems that the distant players are even smaller than in BF1 for example. I think BF5 has this characteristic from the game's visual perspective, and I think this hides a lot of the game's beauty. BF4's visual perspective in relation to the size of things/players is similar to BF5.
JackFrags has also done a video on this, in recent months or so, no one will bring the mode back to life on their own, its more of a team effort between them all.
i played firestorm for at least a year, maybe longer even though there was no new content.. such a great game and many friends and memories made playing it
Love the battlefield video I’ve recently went back to battlefield after I got tired of people hacking in call of duty and it’s made so many improvements
Does look like a fun mode, even with such a low playercount in the matches it seemed to work and gave for a good watch. Can only imagine how hectic a full lobby of 64 would be. Destruction mechanics are cool too, just how the storm ripped through that building was awesome. Makes the gas in Warzone extremely tame in comparison
Damn what a missed opportunity. A classic battle royale with the realism and immersion of Firestorm is all I've been waiting for... please Dice, bring it back to life as a free to play version! I'm begging you.
almost 100k views, think you could team up with Jack and Stods communities and get a whole bunch of folk to queue up? a couple of full lobby games would be fire content. Fire......get it
This was such a grate BR (with its bugs but...) it could've been a great one. I played it so much! you've got everything, BF mechanics, authentic BR, the feeling, the beauty oh! man I miss it so much. Let's not forgot the V1 sound :)
I just played it for the first time since launch LOL there was a whopping 4 PEOPLE including myself on that fateful plane. I got one of the three kills and ended up coming second, the guy had 5 HP.. was somehow like reminiscing to the PUBG days. Alot of sitting around and waiting for the damn storm to move. But, this was HARDCORE mode being only 4 people on the massive map. I felt like I was being looked at the whole time like when I play EFT LOL
My favorite mode in my favorite Battlefield. Yeah I said it! Such a shame.... Its was so authentic feeling when u won a firestorm match. That feeling when u were all by yourself and saw a squad with a tiger😂
Feel like they released firestorm and it was super buggy for a while but the biggest killer in firestorm was the general lack of mics used by bf players that has persisted through the series.
They literally could make this free to play and add support from the devs and the community would be happy, maybe some little adjustments like a way to res your team etc
With some little tweaks this game mode could've been great... But just like all of BF5 it was mishandled big time! I think I'm going to look for a round the next days...
🤘🏾🫡Im def going to try to get in!😏I loved the potential this had! The Map, Even just the wall of flames looked so dope! Add the BF destruction & im all in!
sad there is no community to play this.. some youtubers could change that occasionally.. im struggling to find servers allways waiting 15min nothing happens
Definitely the best BR map I have played. Massive landscapes, great audio, destruction, etc. if Criterion was given the time they would have fixed a lot of the clucky issues and the sky was the limit
You probably know this already, but did you know you can lean without being behind cover or having to press the ] or [ keys? I believe if you press F while aiming down sights, you can use Q and E to lean left and right. I could be misremembering, but regardless Firestorm all the way!!
I've been trying here and there for months now... I can never find a game. I only played firestorm once... I really want to put quality time in fs but there's just no players in my region... 😢
I don't like BR, but Firestorm was kinda fun even though I only got to play it 2 or 3 times. Even from when it released it was DOA in Australia... Plus it got overshadowed by Blackout at the time on Bo4, which that itself was fun, and still the better Cod BR than Warzone... Honestly if you wanna play more BRs give Blackout a shot.. If there are players on PC Firestorm there surely would be a lobby on PC Black Ops 4 Blackout.
I wonder if they added crossplay if it could bring it back a bit. I really liked firestorm. I know they won’t update it to add crossplay, but I can dream.
Firestorm never got the chance it deserved! Thanks for watching 👍
Cause EA completely fumbled BFV. Should of been f2p. Like warzone, but earlier. Would of probably bought wz to the market quicker. Shame.
This Battleroyale was perfect and very balanced, only cheaters broke this game and EA with no support 😢
I loved the simplicity and the classic take. There's still nothing as awesome as the firestorm circle and the destruction. "IF" they do revisit BR in the next Battlefield I hope they carry over what they had here.
Cause all you streamers went to Warzone cause you all go gaga for anything COD makes, even if it's just a cash grab and the games still suck
My issue with it was horrendous ux and too slow and bulky. I would take mw2 system over this game’s inventory system personally but it was an interesting attempt and enjoyed watching it again briefly for nastolgia hah.
Criterion was done so dirty with how Firestorm was handled. Just a colossal missed opportunity.
Agreed!

Fuck EA for that, and for many other modes/games they canned just because they can.
@@etl-mlp TH-cam has turned Into the whiny grievance blog 🤣🤣
Firestorm was a great map and Dice ditching Battlefield 5 to launch 2042 way to early was a big mistake.
They definitely rushed 2042 out the door!
@@Westie they had one extra year and yet they still did crunch time.
@@gerogyzurkov2259 and now Bf5 have more players than 2042 and they killed 2042 already.what a joke

People appreciated it, the problem was it was a battleroyale that was not free, and it was hidden behind a 70 dollar pay wall
I’m a battlefield fan and I never heard of this! This is why it failed I don’t know why I never heard of this until now I’ve okay ed so much PubG Fortnite warzone. Oh this would have been so much fun!
@kojimayuhay I'm sure I got it free with mine when I bought it? I can't remember ever having to pay separately for it? Might be wrong though
Also first BR that added armor system
thank you
6:10 I LOVE that it is a delay between the explosion and the sound!
Wow! I didnt even notice that first time.
Very very cool!
I just think sound should travel slower in the game to kinda match to real life.
But very cool anyway!
love the variety of content here lately westie
Glad you enjoy it! I’m just playing what I enjoy at the moment 😎👍
They missed the boat here. It should have been free to play. They should release it free to play today.
@@Westie good for you mate, take care, cheers!
BF5 is just a beautiful Game in General
It’s a very sharp looking game 👍
Honestly. Battlefield V is one of my favorite looking games, Right Next to battlefield 1

Its funny how WZ looks like it borrowed some aspects from firestorm, like the whole armor plate system and loot rarity...
It did! Firestorm was the first BR to implement proper physical armour plates rather than “shield” like Apex and Fortnite 👍
If there's ever a bad decision to be made, EA is there.
This still looks amazing! Loved the artillery strike in this mode. Fingers crossed for next year's Battlefield 🤞🏻
Fingers crossed they do something interesting with destruction again 👍
Firestorm is CRIMINALLY underrated. What this world truly and really needs is a good WW2 BR game.
Loved Firestorm. Didn't think anyone would still be playing it, but nice to see!
this is where westie single Handly bring the mode back to life
JackFrags has also done a video on this, in recent months or so, no one will bring the mode back to life on their own, its more of a team effort between them all.
Bring back firestorm!!! Loved this video..we need a firestorm movement asap
i played firestorm for at least a year, maybe longer even though there was no new content.. such a great game and many friends and memories made playing it
I would love to see this brought to 2042 portal
That would be amazing!
Appreciate the video. By far my favorite BR of all time.
Glad you enjoyed it!
800 hours played in this mode 300+ wins best battle Royal ever 😊
You’re a beast!
@@WestieI dont think so i have over 1000 wins 😊😎
So you guys are the reason I don't bother with it..😆😆😆 Have you ever seen the sun or touched grass? 🤪

And good anti cheat
It was such a great game to play it all just felt so solid. Movement and gun play. Such a shame it died out so quick :(
Three straight Battlefield videos celebration we are so back 🎉🥳🪅🍾
Just playing what I’m enjoying 😎👍
Ok definitely playing this soon, I was reminiscing on this lately whilst playing 2042. Good to see this.
I started watching your channel for Load outs on battlefield one kind of crazy thinking back how long ago that was
The excitement in your voice is what gets me pumped to watch your videos!
Haha! I was very excited to actually get a match of Firestorm 😁
Nice vid man, if you press Q you can mark enemies
Id love to see them bring forestorm back. F2p.
OMG!! Another Westie's video on Battlefield! GOOD DAYS ARE BACK!!!
“And for anyone who thought I had left, I never left. Just moved aside for a while.” - Daniel Ricciardo ✌️
Why don't they make firestorm free to play now. They could still make something from it a number of years down the line
almost 100k views, think you could team up with Jack and Stods communities and get a whole bunch of folk to queue up? a couple of full lobby games would be fire content. Fire......get it
@Westie the Flare gun launches spotting flares which highlight players in a circle surrounding where the flare is fired.
This mode could have been so good.
I love how the storm just destroys anything it touches. Make sure you are truly pushed into the next zone.
Always save the V1's for the smallest point left, make everyone run and panic 👍 😅
I remember skipping a day from high school with my bud to play this update, Very good memory.
This was such a grate BR (with its bugs but...) it could've been a great one. I played it so much! you've got everything, BF mechanics, authentic BR, the feeling, the beauty oh! man I miss it so much. Let's not forgot the V1 sound :)
Couldn't agree more!
Great game!! Wish they would have stuck with it.

hey do u know what song is playing when ur landing, i was wanting to use it for something.
Know what the music is playing in the background in the beginning landing?
This is weird, but I sometimes listen to the firestorm reveal trailer when I’m on the stair climber at the gym. It’s a dope trailer😂
If firestorm was free to play it would’ve had some success instead of being locked behind a paywall with bfv
Yeah they killed it before it even had a chance being behind that paywall.
Miss the good old fps games, everything now looks like COD clones with sliding and bunnyhopping around every corner.
ill never forget the release i played it none stop and absolutely loved it. Such a shame they stopped working on it
This is THE content we’re here for!
🙏🙏🙏
Maybe in an alternate universe Firestorm is today’s Warzone. A man can only dream
My favorite mode in my favorite Battlefield. Yeah I said it! Such a shame.... Its was so authentic feeling when u won a firestorm match. That feeling when u were all by yourself and saw a squad with a tiger😂
I loved this game mode! I hope something like this makes it back into the game
they should put this as free to play and start making money from cosmetics!
Still the best circle ever
Yep! Doesn’t get much better than an actual storm of fire destroying everything in its path 🔥
I agree 100%… firestorm definitely deserved more attention then it got
Ive been trying to get into firestorm lobbies (pc) since i picked the game back up. I would love to see a come back.
I think if they re-released this mode today as a free to play mode, it would gain a lot of popularity.
I think it’d have a good audience that’s for sure!
That was such a beautiful map. I wish they had made parts of the map Conquest Maps in MP.
Feel like they released firestorm and it was super buggy for a while but the biggest killer in firestorm was the general lack of mics used by bf players that has persisted through the series.
the death of this game was a huge crime. it was a very solid BR
Totally agree 👍
I'm amazed you found a match, I try and play once and while and never find a match.
Weekends around 2pm UK time is when I found these two matches 👍
I didn't know it was open!! I'm going to be sat waiting now... 👌🤣
How many ppl scream in first two min of video 😂😂 Westie my dude you left best gun in game for worst one 😅😂
They literally could make this free to play and add support from the devs and the community would be happy, maybe some little adjustments like a way to res your team etc
Great video and absolutely love firestorm.............. I'm just not very good at it, i mainly play to give other players target practice 🤔
one of the best games ever love BFV
LOVED this game mode. So sad it didnt get the love it needed from the devs. BF needs to get it right next time round.
I love the music for Firestorm...
With some little tweaks this game mode could've been great... But just like all of BF5 it was mishandled big time! I think I'm going to look for a round the next days...

sad there is no community to play this..

im struggling to find servers allways
waiting 15min nothing happens
Glad to see you found a tractor! Sad this game didn’t get the live it deserved.
Finally you played battlefield again!
Do I....do I need to try this ?
I’d love to see you play it! Shame it doesn’t have prox chat though
So funny watching the whole video just to get rick rolled right at the very end
Can’t believe all the work put into this mode only to be dropped after 2 months? It could have been amazing
Yeah, it’s a real shame. Such a cool map!
I actually kinda enjoyed firestorm whenever it came out. I wasn’t really a big battle royale person so it was an “introduction” for me
I’m also on Xbox so I’m sure there is no servers up even if I wanna play lol
Loved Firestorm! Let us know next time you are going to jump in.
I still play firestorm..never had stopped...right now I'm about to play some FS..👊🏼👊🏼😂
Refreshing to see something a bit different!
Glad you think so 😎👍
Flare gun marks enemies on the map if they're inside the circle it also marks on the map (:
Missing the boys on WZ the last few weeks. As usual great content
Season 2 Reloaded stream tonight 😎✌️
@@Westie watched the vod, as I am USA east and miss your lives most of the time. Left a like too

My first battle royal win was on firestorm super fun game mode, sucks it didn’t get traction and support.
Let’s all get together and bring this game back😈
I thought this was the Operation Firestorm battlefield map
This mode would've succeeded if it was free to play. I really hope they keep the firestorm mechanic for the new battlefield BR, it looked awesome!
We just gotta call a ton of players to this mode for a few days.
Would be amazing to see it thrive again for a while 👍
This mode was fun. I thought it died like a month later. Did it not?
Oh man this had so much Potential. If only some key Things had been different
I forget this existed, I’ll be playing it later
Hope you can find a lobby!
I've been trying here and there for months now... I can never find a game. I only played firestorm once... I really want to put quality time in fs but there's just no players in my region... 😢
Respect for Firestorm, beautiful mode, beautiful map. I had so much fun playing it... 😭😭
Couldn't agree more 💔

I still love playing Battlefield 5, it's a great game
It’s definitely good fun!
This loot system feels like wz2. My first dub in BR was firestorm ❤
Firestorm got me into games, lasted longer than 2 months.
Ask tbm
I got an dub once on firestorm it was an huge missed opportunity
EA should have made it a free to play standalone game after bfv stopped being supported. Genuinely loved this mode
If firestorm had a way of coming back from a death like warzone i think it would have done a lot better
Yeah it needed a regain/respawn mechanic. Even a little flag capture or something to respawn teammates would have been cool.
If I remember correctly, if you ping a person the ping turns red
I wonder if they added crossplay if it could bring it back a bit. I really liked firestorm. I know they won’t update it to add crossplay, but I can dream.
