It's probably for the best. Must not have been in good enough shape to release ahead of BO4 instead :P

Needs more time to bake (in the Ray Tracing after gamers bitched about 1080p) in the co-op and other features that were to be added a month later. Now you get it all at once!
- Official story somewhere in there.

Would have thought its the low pre-orders vs COD along with RDR2 on console releasing in October

Actually the RX 480 is the Recommended card for Battlefield V....
My RX 480 flashed to a RX 580 played the game at 1080 / Ultra at 70-105fps

Despite the delay, anyone want to take bets on there being some either game-breaking or hilariously ridiculous day-0 bugs?

The delay is fine by me. Now I won't have to be in a hurry to finish the new Tomb Raider.

The delay might be due to the whole SJW thing blowing up in EA's face. They lost dozens of millions of dollars in preorders, and now they want to get out of the way of the likes of Call of Duty and Red Dead Redemption 2. So damage control, pretty much.

sjw thing?

Just google or youtube "battlefield v weak preorders". Or "battlefield v sjw".

??? no clue what you talking about, but EA does suck ass the one game I bought from them in last 5 years, they turned into f2p with year then turned into cash shop priority game, fast forward 2 years later when most people left they started to give damn about said game, only to make thing worse XD

It's people getting offended about nothing, then other people getting offended by people getting offended, and then the first group gets offended by the second group getting offended about them getting offended, so now they get offended by them getting offended about getting offended about getting offended...
What the...
Meanwhile, this is me:

I'm pleased they've delayed the launch, better to get it right first time - praps this is not just to tweak gameplay, maybe it's to sort out raytracing performance too!

In 20 minutes? 😛
Also, the person responsible for all this at EA "left the company" (they don't say "fired" since he was a top EA exec.)
This is just more popcorn for me.
Eh? Not even close. I find the situation entertaining, that's all. When I first saw the comments from EA, I knew this was gonna be good.

This is the one time where EA should have given a bland response full of platitudes. You know how when you ask them actually legitimate questions about actually important things and they give you the platitudes? ("We care about blah blah and it's important to us blah blah.")
If there ever was a time where such a reply was needed, this was it. But nope. They got involved in the SJW vs anti-SJW "war", taking sides. And the manure hit the fan.
Even though I find this very amusing, I hope devs don't lose jobs over this nonsense. DICE is too important to EA to start firing people, so I think I can continue enjoying the fallout without guilt.

I don't think it's got anything to do with Nvidia RTX. More likely they're spending more time polishing the game so it stands a better chance of making a good "first-impression" to increase sales. RTX is irrelevant as the delay affects all platforms. They know if they mess-up the release of this game, then, it's going to be Titanfall 2 all over again.

Just can't wait to skip it like last 4 versions...

Don't get your hopes up, the delay is just for a month (even shorter with origin premiere or whatever they call it). So bugs wise, there won't be time for much fixing. The game will launch in a hilariously bad state, on a stark contrast with BF1, which was by far the smoothest BF launch I can remember (it also trashed COD of that year, at least pre-orders wise).
The ONLY reason for this delay is their hope that they can fix some of the craptastic marketing and hopefully get some more pre-orders in before launch. They won't, unless the open beta will be very, very good, which I doubt, but will try.

Still No co op and Vehicle customization at launch despite delay.
