The Road Ahead: Introducing the Community Test Environment

The Community Test Environment (CTE) will provide passionate fans the chance to evolve Battlefield 4 with us and become a part of the development process. We’ll be able to test new ideas and solutions to current issues before we roll them out to all Battlefield players.

Among the first things we will work on is the “Netcode,” which is what the player experiences with the game world including player-to-player interactions like damage registration. This involves tweaking to the “tickrate” servers and networking in general.

By launching this new program, not only will we be able to address player feedback at an early stage, but also increase the overall quality of the game. We are excited to explore the possibilities together with you.

This would actually be pretty cool if it wouldn't be 6 months too late.

LAWSON723634d ago

BF4 is still very much relevant. The Premium DLC is still coming and from what I can tell the game is quite active

qwe22323634d ago

Buy premium to debug buggedfield 4 for us.

Deal of the year.

Elwenil3634d ago

So, they want people to pay for the ability to beta test for them twice? I thought all of us were already beta testers but I guess now we have to pay more for the privilege of playing the latest game-breaking BS.

DICE, are you completely incompetent?

Skate-AK3634d ago

Very late DICE. The damage has been done to the Battlefield brand. EA trying to push the game out before COD might cost them for a long time.

T23634d ago

I don't understand what the deal is with the supposed fix they reported on about a month ago. the "new server fix"... i played the game about a month ago and it was perfect for about a week. Went back this past week and it was worse than ever, so jerky with rubberbanding I was actually feeling dizzy.
so........ the game is still completely broken when all they have to do is release custom servers with 48 player conquest (as it's obvious they weren't ready for 64)....but nope... we will all just pretend everything is okay... and buy premium too! /S ... I literally think they are either laughing at us all or are completely incompetent. It's one or the other at this point. No premium for me, bf5 will be bought used.

daBUSHwhaka3634d ago

Totally agree.DICE must be feeling like a right bunch of twats right now,but keep on pushing shit out for a unfinished product.Must really think there top class devs.They need to crawl back under their bridge.Bunch of trolls.

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.

-Foxtrot753d ago

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

gamesftw250752d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface751d ago

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

PapaBop752d 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.

Inverno752d 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

XiNatsuDragnel753d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps752d ago

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

Pudge102888752d ago (Edited 752d 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

pr33k33752d 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.

Pudge102888752d 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_D3TH752d 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.
