Confusion over Battlefield V's content roadmap seems to have spilled over into the development team, where designers are "frustrated" by inaccurate chapter roadmaps promising in-game vehicles and gear that don't yet exist.

Reddit thread asked DICE to elaborate on when fans could expect the vehicles and gadgets advertised in a previously-released chapter rewards image , but that hadn't yet dropped. Battlefield community manager Jeff Braddock replied admitting that the game's roadmap is currently in flux."That is not a current roadmap," he wrote. "(I mean, let’s be honest, even our “current” roadmap is not accurate at this point.) The latest (and yes, it’s already missed some items) is here ."The original image promised "new weapons, vehicles and gadgets" in June, but it seems that information is now out of date and has been replaced.After speaking to the game's designers about whether players could expect the vehicles promised in the image, Braddock went on to say, "The answer I received from the vehicle dev was 'What are you talking about?' I showed him the image you shared. [The dev said] 'That’s wrong. The next big push of vehicles and gadgets is with the [next chapter, set in the Pacific].'"He’s frustrated with the inaccuracy of the specific chapter roadmap and he’s escalating it to his bosses and studio leadership and I’m escalating it to the marketing team to find out why it has this info in the first place. The body of the article doesn’t talk about vehicles or gadgets - it talks about weapons and Elites, so the image is inaccurate. I’m sorry, man. Sigh."We've reached out to DICE and EA for comment.When Battlefield V launched in November, our reviewer James Duggan said : "Like a fresh recruit, Battlefield V was clearly deployed into action without adequate preparation. And a variety of bugs, underdeveloped features, and placeholder menu screens remind you of that at nearly every turn. However, there’s a great deal of raw potential here that could, with time and luck, be forged into one of the series’ best."
