Can confirm the Battlefield 1 beta isn't matchmaking me into a game :/

Kingthrash3603530d ago

I'm in...keep pressing square /b

SolidStoner3529d ago (Edited 3529d ago )

these hackers are cheap, thin, weak mommy boys..

they want to show the world something?

the only thing they are showing is that they have a war with regular normal people... who just want to relax sometimes with gaming.. its like watching movies or breathing fresh air at the sea.. whats wrong with that?

dear hackers please get more mature and attack right places which doesn't effect regular customer or all world.. by doing wrong you will get more hate (I mean like every single person on this planet).. if you know some bad hackers just tell where they live to police so they go to "justice" more quickly and productive! ;) (at least I mean they have to be isolated or at least punched in the face, heavily!)

EDIT! PS. I know big companies like EA are huge evil.. but there is 100 other ways to make them pay, which doesnt effect people who have nothing to do with that...

Frostbite engine is like best engine in the world right now, its not our fault it is part of EA now...

Majister-Ludi3530d ago

Yea a group of my friends and I were all excited but have tried multiple times and can't get in a game, even on an empty server. Well that's why it's in beta hopefully they get sorted out soon.

DDOS attack by a group called PoodleCorp according to their Twitter. So frustrating. Was looking forward to playing today...

DeeBeers3530d ago

PoodleCorp is an asset to society.

....If I cant play after work they will quickly become PoodleCorpse.

Yui_Suzumiya3530d ago

Look out! We've got a bad ass over here xD

Next_gen_20153530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

Honestly the game isnt good. I played it on ps4 and the Beta map is terrible. Bad for rush and boring on conquest....

Also the game runs terribly (framerate) and i noticed a small deadzone when aiming. Overall not impressed...

MagicBeanz3530d ago

Buy it day one and demand a refund, its what all the cool kids are doing these days.

REDGUM3529d ago

I couldn't agree with you less. I loved it. It's the starwars game we should've had in the 1st place.
Reminds me of the starwars graphically, Hardline as in pace but has the full Teamplay aspect of the battlefield we've come to expect.

I love it and ran just fine for me.

letsgopal3530d ago

It could be as well just a problem with their infrastructure.

Anyone can claim they are DDoSing EA.

cfc833530d ago

I know the game sucks so far, but that's no excuse.

kaizokuspy3530d ago

Why does it suck? I'm having a lot of fun

cfc833530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

Battlefront assets
Clunky aiming
Hardline-esque vechile control
Open map
graphics. Is ps4 version even 900p ?
Often poor hit detector

The game will need maps to save the i.p from a quality viewpoint. BF4 was getting tired, Hardline was a joke and to me BF1 feels like a step in the wrong direction. I want it to be good, but i have my doubts.

kaizokuspy3530d ago

I disagree. Where are the battlefront assets? However if they already have an asset for a sandbag that is only 1 year old. Why waste time creating another sandbag? Aiming works in line with how aiming was in WW1, this isn't BF4 or modern warfare, those old school guns were clunky. Probably why we don't use them in modern times. Vehicle control is about the same and again, it's Ww1 not modern.

Now hitting the graphics. In this case the bf4 beta graphics were lacking but when it launched it had hd and finalized graphical assets. I'm guessing same thing, you know, to keep the download small and not 20GB just for a beta. Gotta remember not everyone has fast internet. I agree hardline sucked but then again different developers so theres no basis to assume that dice would utilize their control. Tbh if you can't fly a plane, you just can't fly a plane.

Captain_Tom3530d ago

@cfc83

LOL "Save the series".

The 100's of millions of dollars battlefield is making (And BF1 will double) would like to speak with you. If you don't like the game it's ok, but it is objectively wrong to call it at all an unsuccessful series.

Kingthrash3603530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

Cfc....go back to cod bro...this is a realistic game where in that era guns weren't as accurate as they are in th almost zero recoil and bullet drop in cod...."open map" says it all. The game has its flaws, especially because it's a beta....but I sat here and had fun with friends and didn't feel the Fram rate issues you speak of. My issue is the gun count and iffy ui. Pressing start during a match is broken...sometimes taking you out a match altogether. But as far as gameplay it's mostly there...needs some ironing but I see where they are going. It's gunna take even more skill to master this game.
Im a hardcore only guy and I can tell hardcore is gunna be Hella fun.

sullynathan3530d ago

@thrash stop spreading this lie. Battlefield is not and has never been realistic. Stop it. You haven't played any realistic or even tactical shooters then if you think any Battlefield game is close.

WellyUK3529d ago

why is sully nathan gettimg disagrees? He's speaking 100% truth... BF is not realistic at all in comparison to say Red Orchestra or Squad.

Goldby3529d ago

Kaizo

i think it is the starter support gun that has alot similarities between the two games,

also for some reason when i see the guys with the capes come a running, all i see the the snow troopers from Hoth

Give yourself some time to get good.

cfc833530d ago

Didn't enjoy it much when i played alright either

Bansai3530d ago

it really doesn't take much to be good at casual games like bf

GrimmyReaper3530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

So because he didn't really like the beta, he must therefor suck at gaming?
Don't be surprised if this does indeed not end up living up to the hype?

Remember the last 2 Battlefield games?
Not saying it will happen, but can we at least be a little skeptical in light of things that happened ... again?

cfc833530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

@ captain_tom. I said save the i.p from a quality viewpoint. I'm sure it will sell loads anyway. There appears to be alot of people out there who haven't taken to the game.

spicelicka3530d ago

Lol 900p, who gives a crap, it looks amazing. I'd rather have a game with amazing effects and lighting than a 1080p turd.

DeeBeers3530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

Pretty sure im playing it at 720p on my X1 and I think its fkn spectacular to look at. Some people are never happy.

mark_parch3530d ago

totally agree im on x1 and looks amazing

GearSkiN3530d ago

the game looks good a lil blurry on xbox 1 I think...

WellyUK3529d ago

i'd rather have a stable 60fps than any stupid over the top effects.

danny8183530d ago

a beta that sucks ?! how dare they

Goldby3529d ago

the beta may suck for some people, but it is much better than battlefront lol

Erik73573530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

Battlefield is meant for pc not your shitty console maybe that's why it sucks on it.

Well battlefront assists looked hands down amazing so why not use them? Pretty sure they were used for the terrain but most assets are not reused from battlefront because duh it's sc fi and this is world War 1 so some of the only assists they fan reuse are maybe character models and terrian.

It's a beta, did you honestly expect it to have the same hit detection it will have at launch 2 months from now?

I'm playing on pc so the clunky aiming and poor resolution is only for console players.

sullynathan3530d ago

Battlefield stopped being "meant for PC" when most of its sales and players were on Console.

KakashiHotake3530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

Dude you must be extremely picky. Seems pretty good for a beta, and 900P? I was enjoying it so much I didn't even notice or care. lol

Immorals3530d ago

OB1Biker3530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

Was difficult to get server connection but I insisted and it worked fine after a while.
Had same problem with SWBF in the morning but could eventually connect.(UK)

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio2d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing2d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit2d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing2d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg5d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k45d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS5d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing694d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
