If you did, check Origin, the game cover will be there greyed out saying it will be available tomorrow. You'd also receive an email stating this as well. If it's not there, you didn't get in.

Round of applause for 64 bit.

Very broad specs because even a 1gb vram gpu can't run bf3 very well.

AndrewLB3967d ago

My thoughts exactly. It's about time a game studio stuck their neck out and took the necessary step to finally put 32-bit in the history books. I still can't believe it's taken 10 years and counting since the first 64-bit consumer CPU was introduced. The PC industry should have done what Apple did with their PowerPC>Intel transition and gotten it over and done with.

Also... I'm surprised that the requirements don't list a specific CPU and GPU as a minimum. I mean... does this mean I can play Battlefield 4 just fine with an 8400gs since it has 1gb vram? /sarcasm

I doubt that card could even play the intro video.

The bare minimum is probably i3/quad core amd 3ghz with a mid end gpu from amd or nvidia to play at 1080p with acceptable fps.

DeadManMcCarthy3967d ago (Edited 3967d ago )

BF4 really needs to take advantage of that ram, 32bit OS just bottlenecks it.

xruiner893967d ago

DICE have stated on Battlelog that no more invites for the Alpha will go out, if you don't have an email inviting you by now, you won't get one.

NameRemoved00173967d ago

Atleast if you own BF3 premium you get guaranteed beta access.

If you want to see if your in the bf4 beta look in your origin then go to where it shows your bf3 dlcs and one of the dlcs will be bf4 beta.

HaMM4R3967d ago

I can no longer access the email that I used to create my origin account so I hope I can still get in! Ill just check origin tommorow!

Ducky3967d ago

Sweet. My origin email is a dummy account I never check, so I just checked it now and had an invite.

HaMM4R3967d ago

Just out of interest do you have any games for that account?

Ducky3967d ago

6 games, and a veteran status of level 8 on Battlelog.

Not sure if that helps.

HaMM4R3967d ago

Kind of. Even with 9 vet status I didn't get in :(

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.

-Foxtrot760d ago

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

gamesftw250759d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface759d ago

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

PapaBop759d 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.

Inverno759d 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

XiNatsuDragnel760d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps759d ago

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

Pudge102888759d ago (Edited 759d 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

pr33k33759d 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.

Pudge102888759d 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_D3TH759d 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.
