EA announces Battlefield V next Wednesday (updated)
On May 23 the next entry in the Battlefield series is (likely) to be announced. An Easter Egg in Battlefield 1 already indicated a reveal date. Battlefield 1 fans discovered an Easter egg in the game that was a message written in Morse code that revealed: "Battlefield will never be the same" along with the May 23 date.
“With our next Battlefield game, the team at Dice is bringing the intensity of combat to life in new and unexpected ways,” said EA CEO Andrew Wilson. “Every battle is unique, and every mode brings its own challenges – from the way you interact with the environment around you, to compelling single-player stories, to the next level of large-scale multiplayer that spans across multiple maps and modes.
“This will be a deep and fully-featured shooter and ongoing service that will evolve with major new experiences for our community, beginning right from launch. This new game will advance the state of the art for the franchise, while still delivering the signature gameplay and Battlefield moments that have captivated and grown our global community.”
Update: The EA hype-train has started, easter eggs, and announcements and virals about announcements. However it is now confirmed, EA will announce Battlefield V next Wednesday (23rd), which is now confirmed by the publisher. The announcement was made via a live stream Wednesday evening via YouTube and Twitch.
"On the 23rd of May we will reveal your next trip to the total war", states the Battlefield website.
Last week, thanks to a long-hidden in-game Easter egg in Battlefield 1 that got uncovered, a clue led towards an EA website located at ea.com/neverbethesame. Here it appears that EA will be giving more information on the next Battlefield (conveniently called Battlefield V for now) on May 23. The website itself doesn’t reveal anything else though. The background is a simple blue with May 23, 2018 and #battlefield on it. You can see all the work need to access the easter egg in the video below, by YouTuber Westie.

the biggest issue with the BF franchise is that they do nothing about cheaters. Their FF software is garbage, and only catches cheaters using aimbot and no spread/recoil. People dominate using wallhacks. EA doesn't give a crap at all. They completely ruin the game. I would say at least half of the people hack. You would be amazed at how many members are at these hacking forums buying hacks.
I will not buy BF5, or any BF, until they fix this problem.
I'd be surprised if half of the people hack, I'm sure it's way less than that, although I do think there are quite a few wallhackers that play. I play Team Deathmatch mostly and because they're small scale battles with smaller numbers of players I can normally 'feel' if there's people using wallhacks - it normally manifests itself as the same 1 or 2 people killing me way more than they should in comparison to the total number of kills they have - so effectively using the wallhack to single out players - if this same pattern happens over a few matches with the same suspect players then probabilities suggest that they are using wallhack because you can't single out players without wallhack. Scenarios like this happen almost everyday, but not in every match or every lobby. Because I often play Support, score highly due to handing out packs like a nutter, and get quite a lot of kills I probably can easily become a prime bullet magnet for any wallhackers!
Thinking about trying to quantify the number of wallhackers based on my experience above:
20 players per Deathmatch
play about say 10 matches on a day when I play
over those 10 matches players come & go - perhaps 35 different people will cycle through that day. This means I play with about 35 different people on a day that I play.
I'd say that at some point in the day I experience wallhacker activity at least 2 out the 3 days I play.
In a wall hacker lobby there's usually no more than 1 or 2 suspect players.
So:
35*3 = 105 total people played with over a 3 day period.
wallhackers seen on 2 of those days, no more than 2 suspect players on average per day = 4 wallhackers
4/105 = 4% of population are wallhackers.
That's an estimation based on my experience, thought it would be fun to try & roughly work out the number. This is just accounting for the wallhackers that pick on me & single me out in contrast to the other players in the team, so it's possible there are other wallhackers out there that don't use it to single out particular players, but instead just to score highly - so likely the number of wallhackers is somewhat larger than 4%, how about we double that then so 8%. I'd say 4-8% could be wallhackers. Guess!

I don't think you read my post properly, or didn't understand what I based my calculation on. My determination of a wallhacker is based around certain players killing me way more than they should for the total amount of kills they have, so in this situation I constitute a large proportion of their kills (say 40-80% of their total kills for that match). If that happens with the same suspect players over a few matches then this very strongly goes against probability & they pretty much have to be using wallhack in order to pick out & kill certain players - this has got nothing to do with flare use, it's to do with singling out, picking on & killing the same player, which can't be done without wall hack.
Yes, there are definitely players that are better than me, but my stats do seem to put me in the Top 20% at least in the Battlefield tracker, I've only been playing for about 6 weeks, so should get better. It depends what stat you look at though, BTR/min I'm in the top 0.6%, but I think that's just because I'm doing well after only just started playing the game.

My best fun was in Battlefield 3 with a friend. I was heli pilot, he was my gunner. Hell, we were wrecking!
And then they nerfed helicopters to trash, buffed AA and any retard engineer running around with an anti-air rocket could take you down easily.
GG....
