EA clarifies: New Battlefield 4 Alpha keys were sent by mistake, won't be a second wave of invites

DSOGaming writes: "By now, some of you may have noticed some Battlefield 4 alpha invitations in your mailbox. No no no, those are not phishing emails (at least those originating from EA). These are indeed some BF4 alpha keys that were sent by EA itself. However, those keys won’t work as the keys were sent by accident since EA does not plan a second wave of alpha invites for DICE’s FPS."

I'm playing the BF4 Alpha now. It's called BF3.

JKelloggs3948d ago

Do you really expect a overhaul for BF4 like BF3 was from BF2? It's been 2 years bro... Look at the CoD series, that doesn't evolve at all, kinda.

Harmonizer3947d ago

Well to be fair, Battlefield 4 seems to be bringing some old features to BF 4 like commander mode, destruction, bigger squads, more naval combat etc.

It might not be new, but it definitely improves the game over it's predecessor BF 3.

john23948d ago

well at least more people will be able to enjoy it in August. Funny though that EA threatened users for creating new threads

Nafon3948d ago

has EA or dice officially announced a date for the Beta? I figured it would be in september, like the BF3 beta.

john23948d ago

Nope, but rumor has it that it will launch in late August/ early September

Nafon3947d ago

The earlier the better, i guess!

venom063948d ago

ok.. so they made a mistake.. but butthurt "i feel entitled" nerds shouldn't be all sour-faced, cryin all day long on forums, sayin they deserve to get in just because of a mistake...

Harmonizer3948d ago

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot749d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250748d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface748d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop748d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno748d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel749d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps748d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33748d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888748d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH748d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
