Improvements


Loading Screen Improvements

One of the main areas of improvement for Update 8.5 is a visual overhaul of the loading screen for all game modes, now you will be able to see improved descriptions and iconography indicators for the rules of each mode before loading into the match in a much more pleasing and penguin-approved way.

This improvement also extends to Custom Experiences within Battlefield Portal, allowing creators more space for descriptions. Further improvements will be made to this loading screen in a future update too!

Changelog


General

  • Fixed overlapping input prompts on the deploy screen.


AI

  • AI soldiers should no longer die out of bounds when fighting in the shipwreck.


Vehicles

  • Added insertion sequence for the UH-60 Black Hawk.
  • Camera transition should now be smoother when switching views in seats while in a vehicle.
  • Fixed a bug where projectiles would despawn when firing from above the air vehicle max height.


Progression

  • Fixed an issue where players were unable to purchase the accelerated event pass if all levels were completed before the purchase.

JOIN BATTLEFIELD LABS



Battlefield Labs is a brand new exclusive development environment connecting a selected number of players directly with the newly minted BF Studios. Together, we’ll collaborate to make the best Battlefield possible.




This is Battlefield Labs
Welcome to Battlefield Labs.

We'd like to invite you to join us for our most ambitious community development collaboration ever. This is an opportunity to provide feedback, validate the future of Battlefield, and have a direct and lasting impact on the next generation of Battlefield games.




Our collective Battlefield Studios teams have been hard at work and are now entering a critical phase of our development cycle, where your feedback is crucial in helping us know what to prioritize, improve, and refine before release.

What Is Battlefield Labs?


Battlefield Labs is a place for us to test concepts and experiences we’re excited about with you, our players. We want our community to play a key role in the future of Battlefield and this is an opportunity for many of you to do just that.

We will test (almost) everything but not everything you see will be complete. To ensure that your feedback has impact, players will experience, under NDA, different pieces of an unfinished puzzle so we have time to incorporate your feedback into the final product.

Even in pre-alpha, we are proud of where the game is at. We tirelessly playtest, but your feedback will supercharge our development as we strive to hit that perfect note between form, function, and feel.

This is an unprecedented moment for Battlefield. We will start by testing the pillars of play, like core combat and destruction. Then transition to balance and feedback for our weapons, vehicles and gadgets, ultimately leading to where all these pieces come together in our maps, modes, and squad play.

And yes, we will be testing Conquest and Breakthrough, the heart and soul of our all-out warfare experience, but BF Labs will also be a place to explore new ideas and fine-tune and improve Battlefield pillars like our class system (Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon) to create deeper more strategic play.



How do I get involved?


Sign up now. To form an accurate snapshot of our community we need a variety of players - veterans and new recruits - ready to play and feedback on our vision for the future of Battlefield. Initial invites will be limited to a few thousand participants with servers located in Europe and North America. Over time we’ll invite tens of thousands more with support for further territories.

Regardless of your level of participation, we want all Battlefield fans to be a part of the process. We’ll be posting work-in-progress public updates from our community team where you will hear directly from developers at Battlefield Studios.

Visit battlefield.com/labs for more information on how you can sign-up.

There will be ample opportunity to play and converse around the next Battlefield ahead of its launch. This is just the beginning.

Until then, join us on the official Battlefield Discord as it’s our prime way to stay up to date on all things Battlefield!

Let’s build Battlefield together.
