Elsewhere, Dr Disrespect, despite having not played the game yet, questioned whether Battlefield V Firestorm would “fulfil” his appetite.
Shroud, Twitch’s most subscribed to streamer, has also offered his thoughts on Firestorm. While he is “stoked” to play it, he also stated, “but I guarantee you it’s gonna suck.” It isn’t exactly clear what Shroud meant by this but it seems his thoughts are the concept of a Battlefield battle royale game should excel but may leave fans disappointed, the reasons why are unclear though.
The most common complaint has been looting dead bodies. Consequently loot boxes are already a requested addition to the game.
#firestorm was awesome. A few niggles, minimap needs a better way to sign locations, the ability to look straight down out of the planes would be great, death boxes for loot pls. But besides a few bugs we had fun. 7/10 for us. Good and fun but nowhere near perfect (yet)

Another Battlefield player had a rather more negative opinion on Firestorm, specifically relating to the feeling of winning a game. Furthermore in reference to the feeling of getting a kill, he said “It’s so tiny you don’t even notice it.” Hopefully other players don’t share the same sentiment.
Out of all the Battle Royale games or fuck it, EVERY GAME IVE EVER PLAYED – winning in Firestorm feels the least rewarding
When you win, it seemlesly transfers to an ending screen. Ou barely even notice it. It doesnt give you ANY sence of accomplishment#Firestorm #BattlefieldV

It will be interesting to see how Firestorm is received as more players get the chance to compete in Halvoy.
