Battlefield 4 Server Rentals Now Available

Players can now rent Battlefield 4 servers everywhere, except on the Xbox One. Choices include, 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days.

Psychotica3642d ago

Just what I was thinking...

Crazyglues3642d ago (Edited 3642d ago )

So wait the game is still broke on PS4, but now you can rent servers..

-way to go DICE... Nice to see DICE so dedicated to making sure they fix the bugs.. Oh what's that you say, "this is not about that, we know the game is broke, this is about how can we make more money" Oh, of course, silly me.. LoL

So now I can not just play on an awful rubberbanding server, I can now also pay for it.. No seriously, actually pay for it.

-_- Seems like there should be some good news in there somewhere, but I can't seem to find it..

you know the lag is fixed right? I haven't lagged in 6 days flawless connection even on naval strike 64 players.

ramiuk13642d ago

i sold my launch copy as it was a mess,recently picked it up and its pretty much sorted now and even with the slight issues at times is still best FPS on next gen.

Dont get me wrong it doesnt make it right with what they done but its getting htere(190 days too late)
Server issues are a common thing with EA though,fifa is a mess online too and i expect they as rubbing there hands when MS said titanfall can use cloud

Ace Killa 083642d ago

You can pay for it... but you can't also so no one, especially DICE, is forcing you to rent a server to play. Besides the fix they did to the servers recently did clear up the rubber banding in naval strike. Now that does not mean it is gone for life or permanently, it's just less frequent.

the good news is now we can have a mix map servers and rotating game types.

LackTrue4K3642d ago

Lol....who will rent them?!?!?
Dame game keeps reseting it's self!!! Ever time I turn on my PlayStation 4, the multiplayer gives me info on everything!!!

Me/clan members would enjoy the game much more if it had less issues....

IVanSpinal3642d ago

Except on the Xbox One. yessss
Good news for now

I want the emblems Dice

You can rent a server? So what about people who have paid for the premium option? LOL With all of the stories about everything wrong with this game, they have the nerve to charge people to rent a server?

Godz Kastro3642d ago (Edited 3642d ago )

EA/DICE are starting to rub me the wrong way. Supposedley they added servers for stability. Starting to sound like they added them for rentals as well.

So now when I select quick match I can get thrown into a custom server with all kind of rules and regulations. I can get kicked by the admin if I threw the wrong grnenade. If they have the audacity to announce BF5 at E3 I hope they get booed off the stage!!!!

ramiuk13642d ago

hehe, conquest games thaT LAST 5 HOURS and 2000 tickets,can use tanks but no rockets lol.

Godz Kastro3642d ago

@ramiuk1

Exactly, haha...

IVanSpinal3642d ago

This game is not noob friendly, thats why this game is not more famous

iKenny3642d ago

Do not support this because if someone does this would grow to other companies. Sad sad.

KinjoTakemura3642d ago

Exactly @ksantiago

If people keep buying this broken game, EA will release another broken game because they know they can get away with it.

asmith23063642d ago (Edited 3642d ago )

What's the fuss about? BF3 had rental servers, some were great, some were bad due to childish admins kicking people for no good reason. I was pretty incensed at the BF4 lag problems but they seemed to have addressed it for the most part, on PS4 anyways. There is still some rubberbanding while using jets but the ground game, even on large 64 player maps, seems solid so far. About goddamn time too. My BF5 purchase shall be deferred a few months at the least.

Godz Kastro3642d ago

You answered your own question brother,,,

"some were bad due to childish admins kicking people for no good reason".

I don't mind them renting servers; have at it. I totally disapprove of them incorporating those servers into quickmatch.

Put that crap on server browser or something. Keep my quickmatch on official dice servers. This way I don't have to hop in and out trying to find a normal game...

asmith23063642d ago

"I totally disapprove of them incorporating those servers into quickmatch" - I didn't know about this because I only play hardcore where you have to select a server. Yeah, that is bullshit.

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.

-Foxtrot752d ago

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

gamesftw250751d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface751d ago

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

PapaBop751d 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.

Inverno751d 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

XiNatsuDragnel752d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps751d ago

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

Pudge102888751d ago (Edited 751d 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

pr33k33751d 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.

Pudge102888751d 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_D3TH751d 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

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