When Will the Battlefield 1 Beta End?

vgPWN: "Speculation on how long the Battlefield 1 beta lasts."

scottypops3555d ago

They better extend their original date after the the claim of them being DDoS

aviator1893555d ago

I agree.
I couldn't play at all yesterday.

FITgamer3555d ago

I played for about 3 hours yesterday afternoon. It must have been select servers that were attacked.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ3555d ago

Yep! Got home at 6pm Central time and couldn't even get into a game until 10pm and that was after me waiting hours in multiple queues. Finally got in a Rush game and played a couple rounds and went to bed. I love what i have played but Im def and always have been a Conquest player since Bad Company 2, so Im hoping everything will work when I get home if this stupid Hurricane doe's not make the power go out (Florida) lol

I think you could get a dogtag for playing 4 different days and reaching level 15. So probably somewhere after the weekend

EmperorDalek3555d ago

It ended after 10 minutes. Well, for me at least since it was so bad. I had a better time with the Hardline beta, and that wasn't exactly great.

SquidBuck3555d ago

Way too many snipers. I can't walk ten feet without getting picked off.

tsivik3555d ago

I have been playing since tuesday and honestly I may have been sniped 3 or 4 times. If you're just running around in the open you'll have a hard time. Try spawning around the C and D points where there is less open space or use a vehicle to get there.

WellyUK3555d ago

all ive experienced is the vast number of smg scrubs using automatics.

Next_gen_20153555d ago (Edited 3555d ago )

I uninstalled it off my ps4 it as soon as i realised the game had deadzones. No wonder aiming felt so awkward

assdan3555d ago

Eveeygame has deadzones, and I'm pretty sure you can turn them down .

Next_gen_20153555d ago (Edited 3555d ago )

@assdan

No you cant. I looked at the settings....no deadzone option. If it isnt fixed then i wont be buying

sullynathan3555d ago (Edited 3555d ago )

Lmao
How can I get two disagrees on "Lmao"

BentheTurtle3554d ago

All I've experienced is getting on n4g and seeing a bunch a whiners complaining about how much they suck at the game.

EmperorDalek3554d ago (Edited 3554d ago )

And what do you base that off? I did alright, good for only 10 minutes.

The desert conquest map is a mish-mash of stuff, it doesn't feel like there's much structure. Just: "Here's a town go kill people." It's too small of a map to have as many capture points as it does, you can really see how bad they've gotten with conquest maps since BF2 and 1943.
It plays pretty much exactly like Battlefront.

Other than the weapons, it doesn't feel like WW1. The menu is too modern looking, you would believe it was a modern day BF5 if you simply changed the logo. Hell if you swapped the weapons and transport with modern day ones, everything would feel in line with a modern shooter.

Also one major thing about the horses, they don't move. Even after someone gets shot off their back, they don't panic or run away or anything. Basically: They're just regular vehicles. Dice didn't bother making actual horses. The whole WW1 setting is feeling like a reskin to me.

DeadlyOreo3555d ago

Hopefully soon so they can get back to making it a better game. Talk about disappointing.

OldGuyStillGaming3555d ago

I didn't like it
I'll stick to Bf4 as my war shooter for now

PizzaSteve3555d ago (Edited 3555d ago )

It does feel funny. I don't like the woman with the robot voice and the tanks aren't fun. I like riding the horses though. I guess old style war shooters aren't as fun like modern shooters. I'm not paying $60 and $50 for Premium Pass. I will wait for the complete edition with everything included. It will be a long wait but BF4 is still fun to play for me.

danny8183555d ago

i feel like its a battlefront game. took too much from that game i feel like

InTheZoneAC3555d ago

wow, never play another game again please

ParanoidFreak3555d ago

Feels like a blend of Star Wars Battlefront & Battlefield 1943 (PSN) albeit more robust. I'm growing tired of BF4 but I no longer think BF1 is the shooter I was looking for in replacing BF4 as my main FPS.

yeahokwhatever3552d ago

ummm wut? its the closest battlefield has been to battlefield since the first and best battlefield, battlefield 1942. air combat is fun again, the armor can actually be stopped, more emplacements to use, and way more fun to play with friends than its been since battlefield 2. PS: Battlefield.

DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 1 In The Next Game

For DICE to succeed with its next game, it has to return to the roots of the franchise. Atmospheric map design, clear and defined class-based gameplay, attention to detail, and total chaos. Battlefield 1 feels like every rock, every glint on your sniper rifle, every falling brick from a collapsing church, has been painstakingly considered. So much care went into the design of the game, from its soundtrack to its costume department. To stand a chance alongside the behemoths of Treyarch and Infinity Ward, DICE needs to recapture what made their old games so brilliant, otherwise it’s all over.

"DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 3 In The Next Game"

/Fixed

...on a serious note, DICE needs to remove the Battlefield name.

isarai1291d ago

Eh, bfbc2 was the peak for me, only ad dogfighting and the accommodations that come with it. Every BF after that was such an unsatisfying progression system for weapons and gear for the classes, 90% of the guns feel exactly the same when you unlock them, just felt boring in comparison. Not to mention the gimped destruction as the series progressed

Sciurus_vulgaris1290d ago

I found Battlefield 1 to be overrated. The gameplay was simpler and less strategic than its predecessors. Battlefield 1 did have a woo-factor, but the gameplay got repetitive faster than Battlefield 4 in my opinion.

porkChop1290d ago

If DICE needs to return to the roots of the franchise then why would they look at Battlefield 1? BF1 is overly simplified and streamlined. What DICE should focus on is Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. Those two games were the pinnacle of the franchise.

TheEnigma3131290d ago

BC2 was the best. they need to get back to that.

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.

-Foxtrot1521d ago

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

gamesftw2501520d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1519d ago

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

PapaBop1520d 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.

Inverno1520d 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

XiNatsuDragnel1521d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1520d ago

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

Pudge1028881520d ago (Edited 1520d 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

pr33k331520d 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.

Pudge1028881520d 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_D3TH1520d 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

Grabbed Panzer Dragoon, the Darkness, Conker Reloaded, Burnout Revenge, Time Splitters 2, Fight Night Champions, and Stuntman Ignition.

Essentially some of the classics that I can't get on PC, now that I have a Series S.
