battlefield-labs-discussion

[covert nest]

That cat doesn't help my case LOL

[bitter rover]

They filled out the optional part of the survey and were picked solely on it of course 😜

[wispy frost]

I’m just curious where he gets his information on EA protocols

[barren compass]

BF 1942

[stark sentinel]

how?

[manic spear]

BF is way too niche compared to stuff like fifa or sims.

[wispy frost]

Will race, or ethnicity be at all used as a selection criteria for the play test ?

[mossy marten]

they're part of the EA community team

[dreamy elm]

@lost yew where are you I smell you

[prisma moon]

https://x.com/bfbulletin/status/1886889254686797829?s=46&t=BPHrhm0aBaUleL0o7Nidvw

BEFORE APRIL 2026

So pretty much Holiday 2025

[stark sentinel]

from 2018 ... i'd rather have EA stock than Ubisoft stock

[severe anvil]

I'm not part of the selection process, so I can't give you details on it. I would assume though that the data collected will be used to select users. That being said, filling out the survey is voluntary and you can still participate in tests without ever doing it.

[wispy frost]

Cool I didn’t kno lol so they have a direct link to those in EA ? lol I’m still learning

[mossy marten]

they're employed by EA. basically community managers (i'm assuming)

[wispy frost]

Correct but by filling out the voluntary areas that put u in a minority group increase the chances of being auto selected by some computer ?

[severe anvil]

Are you looking for some kind of gotcha moment?

[wispy frost]

No……

[mossy marten]

[wispy frost]

Just asking ….

[severe anvil]

If you don't want to provide information you don't have to. You can still be selected to playtest.

[wispy frost]

No…. Just asking ….

[bitter rover]

They just living up to their name 🤡

[manic spear]

I don't know what's in the survey but i think the questions about gender, age and other stuff like that is more for statistics than for the actual thing.
But I assume it also has some questions about your previous BF experiences and that could make an impact

[wispy frost]

I never said that I was simply asking if filling out the voluntary information and filling the void for a minority slightly improve the chances being picked by what I would assume to be an automated calculation

[mossy marten]

it has stuff about what games you play, what platform, etc etc

[bitter rover]

It’s optional for a reason. Won’t impact selection.

[severe anvil]

And why would that be of interest to you? Do you want to use wrong information to potentially gamble the system? Or is that just "a question" for a different reason? Obviously the selection process will not be shared publicly because we don't want people trying to make selections based on their chances to get in, instead of getting a good representation of the playerbase via survey. Again, it's a playtest.

[wispy frost]

I was merely asking if filling out the voluntary information as a minority would affect… (increase) the chances of being selected ?

[covert nest]

I think i said it earlier but the whole part about answering that question is to give DICE / EA information on who is playing their games.

[barren compass]

Yup. How many hours etc

[covert nest]

You can choose to answer untruthfully but it won't really affect your chances realistically.

[bitter rover]

At this point I’d say you’ve affected your chances negatively for obviously trying to manipulate the system

[wispy frost]

Well they kinda have to say it because the it would be affirming but at the same time say “we are trying to reach a variety of different players” ….

[wispy frost]

I answered honorably and true …. And if they take a look… my battlefield hours should speak for themselves…..

[covert nest]

Your hours ok dude LOL

[wispy frost]

To revive the battlefield to bring it back to its glory but being asked those questions….. voluntarily or not seems to be some DEI backing behind it is uncomfortable

[covert nest]

What's bad about DEI.

[bitter rover]

Well for one variety of players would be veteran to new, and two they already gave you an answer

[sudden lodge]

Speaking of hours, does anyone know how long the queue has gone?

[manic spear]

that wont help you even if you have 10k hours in every BF.
They want a mix of playstyles and gaming preferences. So they will balance the amount of players between new players an veterans... shitbuckets and casuals...
So you BF hours wont matter at all

[bitter rover]

It’s gone to “more than a day” lol

[sudden lodge]

We lucky few

[severe anvil]

if you feel threatened by DEI you are free to not be on this server and also not participate in the playtests. That's a pretty straight forward situation.

[wispy frost]

Are there still people in the queue just waiting to sign up ?

[manic spear]

yes

Number of users in line ahead of you: 158239

almost there

[lost yew]

Over in San Vansterdam with skate. - doing my thing over there (and hanging out in the playtest). How are ya?

[deep mica]

this is the most ridiculous thing i ve ever heard

[sudden lodge]

I don’t remember is it more or less than earlier? I remember it around the 2000000

[covert nest]

BRADDOCK

[wispy frost]

I never said that …. I was genuinely asking if the selection process would include and hold priority to those with a minority background round but not exclude those of the majority…… just merly asking if the question at all affects the selection process…… that’s all

[lost yew]

yooo.

[covert nest]

How you doing dude???

Been a bit!

[severe anvil]

You didn't even talk about the selection process in the message I replied to?

[manic spear]

from a BF fan perspective: yes
But it's true... it's insane how much money they make with those games and how many ppl are buying ingame stuff in these games...

[deep mica]

COD, the closest thing to battlefield, is literally the most mainstream game that there is, its just different genres with same populations,

[wispy frost]

I asked if it would increase my chances to be labeled as a minority didn’t I ?

[deep mica]

saying that BF is niche, which is an fps shooter, is ridiculous

[lost yew]

I'm good, buddy. Ready for this summer.
Vans Warped Tour is gonna be 10 minutes from my house. 😄 Already got my tickets.

Black Bess is doing well, as well. Got some more parts on her. Met a dude at the store who asked about the license plate - he was like "The tank from BF1?!?!" hahah. Then he geeked over my BF and skate. tattoos. Cool moment.

[severe anvil]

You can click the message I replied to if you forgot what you typed yourself.

[manic spear]

I said compared to fifa and sims

not in general

[covert nest]

LET SGOOOO.
I got to see a destroyed landship in France a few months ago they're amazing tanks.

Wait I got something relevant

[bitter rover]

Dang warped tour. Been a bit for me. Used to play csgo with a friend that played warped tour

[covert nest]

Little landship keychain from the museum with the destroyed landship.

[lost yew]

I was at the 2nd ever Warped Tour - and now 28 years later going to the 30th anniversary. Pretty stoked.

[lost yew]

doood. that's dope.

[bitter rover]

That’s amazing! My first one was in 2006

[covert nest]

Wanna see some pictures? I can dump them in your dms. You have to see it in person its amazing.

[lost yew]

fo sho.

(sorry to be all off-topic, @severe anvil).

[wispy frost]

Are u saying that if I don’t personally support DEI I would fundamentally targeted to not be selected to participate in the play test ?

[covert nest]

Kay kaya I'll ping you on battlefield. Sorry for off topic LOL.

[shell frost]

He clearly isn't mate

[mossy marten]

[sudden lodge]

Is the tank in question the one in flesquieres?

[covert nest]

Yeah!

[severe anvil]

No, I replied to your message saying that if you disagree with DEI and don't think DEI should be in the game this server, the playtest, and the game might not be for you and that you have the option to ignore all of it by leaving the server and not playing the game. As in I personally, and I know the company is very much for inclusivity in our player base and if you check out #rules you also know that, as you accepted them when joining.

[wispy frost]

Are u admitting that DEI is playing role in the selection process?

[ancient lark]

Are you bored?!

[lavish plover]

guys after 13hours what to do if "Your survey was interrupted." ?

[sudden lodge]

Cool I am going to see it the summer

[bitter rover]

Bruh noo might have to requeue?

[boreal talon]

Probably

[desert ice]

most likely

[lavish plover]

no i click to sing in before i was redirected to some cleanup and it works now (hid to snipe it it was like 1 s)

[boreal talon]

Guys hold strong considering they did a trailer and everything it might be a huge number of players that get to play especially with all the huge queue more people would be able to play than previously intended

[bitter rover]

Nice!

[heady thorn]

[wispy frost]

So ur saying that if I don’t support DEI this game, play test, and group is not for me, and that because you have EA affiliation that it may or may not play a role in me being selected?

[calm pine]

What city was that?

[shell frost]

He. Never. Said. It. Would. Affect. You. Being. Selected

[severe anvil]

I already replied about the selection process. Feel free to read the messages above. As we're just going around in circles here I'll move on from the conversation and so should you.

[boreal talon]

Bro is literally just baiting, if you don’t support DEI, you don’t support the fudemntals of what the battlefield teams represent, dei doesn’t effect the selection process it’s simply to understand more about the player base

[desert ice]

Honestly I am excited to see what is coming in the pipeline

[wispy frost]

Until it’s part of a selection process why not ask those questions after people have been chosen ?

[spice bramble]

I wonder what coming weeks means

[calm pine]

Pretty sure it was mentioned in the survey that opting out on those questions, that it wouldn't affect your selection process

[spice bramble]

Whole week off next week I wouldnt mind being selected

[covert nest]

Errrrr... fuck i forgot. Flesquires

[manic spear]

because everyone taking the survey is interested in the game not just the selected few

[stray veldt]

yes, i think the question is, if it doesnt matter, why are the questions asked? just to pry?

they wouldnt ask me what color of my pillow

[boreal talon]

Because the survey isn’t just for choosing the players it’s to also garner a general idea of what kind of people play battlefield

[stray veldt]

for reference, i opted out of answering it, which i think they said is fine 🙂

[wispy frost]

I’m sure it is…. It just might be auto generated by a computer and put behind those that did and labeled as a minority

[sharp spindle]

DEI stuff, dude...You can be sure that they will select people with this as one of the references. It is obvious that they will cross all the data, but considering that this has become one of the political priorities of companies nowadays, it is possible that this will be the pinnacle. They will never admit it, but we all know it. It's blatant.

[severe anvil]

I'm making the point that if somebody is bigoted or otherwise somebody who wants others to suffer based on their characteristics they should look for a different community.

[wispy frost]

So ….. I’m not the only one feeling this way ….

[sleek tinsel]

Holyyyy guys. I have just registered. 10 hours of waiting....worth

[wispy frost]

For a second gunslinger had be feeling like the only person feeling this way ….

[calm pine]

Correct, looks good, not far from the border either!

[stray veldt]

yeah, i think the wording on it strange, i mean on the survey

[severe anvil]

But I wanted to also include the very important bit that DEI is important to make some sort of... point.

[sharp spindle]

Many know this, many just don't want to admit it for fear of retaliation.

[wispy frost]

Not when it makes u feels potentially excluded because ur a majority…..

[severe anvil]

Ok, let's move on, as I said. No need to call people names.

[desert ice]

so, i wonder what weapons they are going to be adding in

[sleek tinsel]

Guys think about it this way:
If EA asks you your gender and your ethnicity - would it not be better to let them know you are a white male for example? E.g. they would ACTUALLY know their target audience since we are die-hard fans and filled the survey?

IMO I am all in letting EA know who I am as a die-hard fan

[wispy frost]

Could u give me this same example using race ?

[boreal talon]

Genuinely guys how bad is diversity gonna ruin the games bro their literally all made up battles in fictional wars

[stray veldt]

mod said to move on fellas 🙂

[desert ice]

guys move on the topic

[strong pier]

[pulsar latch]

New Topic
What’s your favourite past map?

[sleek tinsel]

I know one thing - we have to let EA cook. Just sign up for the BF labs and let them cook. That's it

[severe anvil]

Ok, we're forcing the move on.

[calm pine]

I hope they go back to cosmetics style ala bfv, bf2042 felt too restrictive.

[ancient lark]

@severe anvil How has the past week leading up been for you and the team? I bet this was an exciting milestone!

[jovial bison]

im betting it does
thats why i choose the genderqueer/multicultural ethnicity option when i did the survey to increase my chances at getting invited to the playtest

[wispy frost]

And moving on sorry guys and sorry ganslinger …

[heady thorn]

Hey whats everyone favourite Battlefield and why?

[sleek tinsel]

Caspian border OFC. No other choice buddy 🙂

[calm pine]

Bfv and bf3

[bitter rover]

🔨

[late saddle]

delta force currently

[wispy frost]

lol

[calm pine]

Arras

[severe anvil]

I like this part of game launches, when we finally can start talking about bits and pieces for sure! Keeping everything secret while players are waiting for news is often pretty hard!

[boreal talon]

Out of all games it has to be Monte Grappa

[dreamy elm]

Nice very nice, need to sleep some privat problems but i say that we do not have such things. Only things to solve 😎👍 have a good time 🙂 ps:srj for the late answer

[bitter rover]

Have you played the game yet?

[late saddle]

battlefield 1 is the best one looks good sounds good feels good and has emotions in the campaign

[spare zephyr]

BF1> all others 😏

[calm pine]

The lighting in that map is insane. Feels super realistic overlooking the valley

[sleek tinsel]

The hype is part of the journey

[covert nest]

I like mechs.

[manic spear]

BF3. Best air physics. most fun TV missiles (except for dusting), best overall maps and DLC.
Everything was well made.

[sudden lodge]

Agree

[wispy frost]

Bf3!!!!!! And bf4 was bf3 polished with less suppression effects

[boreal talon]

Not even that, they actually went to the real location of the map as part of the design process to help it feel more authentic

[calm pine]

I think map design took a bit of a hit though. I much more preferred the maps in 3. Though vehicle balance and weapons were done better in 4

[heady thorn]

BF1 & immersion goes hard

[dim helm]

in that area IRL, there is the fortress that is now a museum

[heady thorn]

Aftermath 🤤

[sleek tinsel]

Anyone misses the gunmaster of BF3?
My favourite gamemode

[late saddle]

the best in any fps game which is showing how brutal war is

[heady thorn]

Gunmaster was a lot of fun

[boreal talon]

Bro I wanna go there so bad

[manic gate]

he isn't on the actual dev team

[pulsar latch]

I want LEVELUTION

[sleek tinsel]

I would LOVE to see a gunmaster mode on the upcoming BF 🙏

[manic spear]

epicenter!! They could have done more with the earthquake mechnics though... but maybe in a new game...

[calm pine]

Bfv and bf1 did that a lot. If you go to Rotterdam it's essentially 1:1 with some changes for gameplay

[dim helm]

yeah that's a nice place to visit

[late saddle]

you guys want plus system back or not ?

[torn girder]

He’s back at it again folks, round 2 of bitching

[heady thorn]

Epicenter was so good, but Talah Market though.. Best CQB map IMO

[sleek tinsel]

Scavenger mode bro....ooof that was a gem

[calm pine]

Yeah, it's fun. Though i do feel they need to chill with the mag sizes. Too laarge xd

[manic spear]

yikes

[covert nest]

I wish I could have experience bf3 on pc but I was too young.

[fierce otter]

My wish is maps that even outside the play space, looks detailed and alive. Like how on siege of Shanghai you had city that went on for whatever felt like forever. In 2042, the scale around maps felt a little empty at times and it helps feeling like you're in a huge environment even if it's not all play space.

[late saddle]

@pulsar latch why you dont want it ?

[boreal talon]

Yea I know it’s what makes me appreciate the maps more, that palace in ballroom blitz is a another example

[torn girder]

“Old game fun, new game sucks, wah wah wah”

[desert ice]

is it bad I kind of want a mix of weapons from the games? Old and new?

[late saddle]

i also want to know why not?

[calm pine]

First tike close quarters came out was a blast. Literally

[long fractal]

Your number in line: 1263003

Is this real ?

[calm pine]

Chantilyyy, been there in rl, definitely worth a visit

[late saddle]

man i am a drum mag enjoyer

[heady thorn]

Thats rough mate

[calm pine]

If you're a support player, you are forgiven xd

[boreal talon]

Is it near Paris, I’ve been to France and might go back there someday cause I got family living there

[long fractal]

Unbelievable

[sleek tinsel]

I was 1075000 this morning and has just completed the signup 10 hours after

[manic spear]

I also love close quarters so much. I built Operation 925 and Ziba tower in minecraft back then xD

[calm pine]

Sort of yeah, a bit above

[late saddle]

only class i dont play usually is assault

[heady thorn]

I'd love to have a mix of older & newer guns, gimme an AKM ❤️

[boreal talon]

Be worth the trip

[pulsar latch]

I find it a bit unnecessary. I like it more to have a fix loadout

[long fractal]

Omg

[dim helm]

Rotterdam is a very nice map

[low vine]

Delta force is a cheap copy and has way too much explosion spam which i hope Battlefield wont ever do again.

[calm pine]

I did a stop there on my way to Normandy xd

[sonic dagger]

👀

[sleek tinsel]

How many people in front of you? for me 220k people = 10 hours. Do your math

[boreal talon]

This, I wanna run around with those older Aks and hopefully get to use a mosin or something similar

[late saddle]

i can understand but tbh man that feature lets me change attachment on the go so that is why i like it

[long fractal]

1 million

[calm pine]

Id love to see the f2000 return in next bf

[covert nest]

I want my SCAR H again.

[desert ice]

Like honestly I am sucker for old guns and everything and the times when they add old guns and I get to use them against people with newer guns just feels great

[covert nest]

Akm, GALIL, Both old and new.

[desert ice]

PPSH-41 for the winnnn

[covert nest]

Hardline had amazing weapon variety.

[dim helm]

The masterman easter egg in bf1... memories

[low vine]

smoke is fine ish but the free wallhack and grenade spam is insane

[sleek tinsel]

You should have 2 numbers: your position in the queue AND number of people in front of you. For me I was 1 075 000 in the queue, but in front of me 220 000

[spice bramble]

Hardline underrated as hell

[late saddle]

i want to see tavor, as val galil ace and negev from counter strike

[spice bramble]

Enjoyed it mkte than BF1

[calm pine]

1 mil? Wowawiewa

[whole prawn]

Yes!!!! Along with the g36c

[boreal talon]

I hope this PMC faction will actually represent countries bro since NATO is the only real world faction in this next game

[manic spear]

I moved forward 35k in 2 hours

[cerulean rain]

I just want the old bad company feel

[wild mulch]

Still working on 100 stars on the peacekeeper!

[calm pine]

Yess, glad the g36c made it in 2042 too

[manic spear]

[pulsar latch]

I mostly don’t really use it. Except of the scope, but i could life without 😅

[desert ice]

Honestly got my intro with battlebit remastered before that game got abandoned and then went back and played battlefield 4

[calm pine]

Mp5k was also a lot of fun in bf3

[long fractal]

I hope they return viper AH-1Z like BF3

[rancid radish]

Bad Company 2 - Best Voice Acting and characters especially with the Polish VA was the best and funniest

[wispy frost]

Is there a current weapons, gadgets, ect list

[late saddle]

what guns you want to see?

[manic spear]

Hardline came out at the wrong time.. I would love to play it again but it has no player base at all...

[dim helm]

Same

[desert ice]

hardline is the cops and robbers yeah?

[sleek tinsel]

Hey folks where were the system requirements posted? I haven't seen them on my survey - only here on discord...

[manic spear]

yes

[wispy frost]

Perhaps but the bald guy from the bf3 campaign took me there with his voice

[boreal talon]

Yea but I hope it’s actually Russia and China- not just some vague group of soldiers wearing their kit,

[calm pine]

Check the pins

[wild mulch]

Im on 52 stars and you?

[sleek tinsel]

YEah I saw the pins...but where does that info come from?

[cerulean rain]

Excited to see what they're cooking in the lab

[chilly jolt]

omg 9 minutes left

[pulsar latch]

Im fine with the new we saw in BF2042, they are solid. Maybe some old fashion Guns from the Cold War aswell

[whole prawn]

I'd also like the ksg shotgun in the next battlefield aswell along with the gol magnum

[late saddle]

shanghai in next gen technology 🙏

[wispy frost]

And I’m in not way upset about it if that’s the kinda route there taking

[late saddle]

i like modern guns more so i am hoping more of that

[barren compass]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/faq

[wooden hazel]

QUEUE TAKES 10 MINS TO EXPIRE????? bro all this for a fucking survey I have to wait 10 hours again

[calm pine]

My bad, misunderstood the question. Seems the info was from the official FAQ: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/faq

[wispy frost]

Me and the boys still the only group on Xbox with a hardcore server LOBK rush hardcore let’s go

[boreal talon]

It’s set in the modern day battlefield 4 is set in the modern day ofc the same stuffs gonna be there

[dim helm]

Damn, i'm at 7 ☠️

[manic spear]

paracel storm was great. riding the waves for the first time was insane

[sleek tinsel]

Ok. My bad folks I forgot the FAQ exists. Thanks

[pulsar latch]

Hope for a good Gunplay and Sound

[sleek tinsel]

Welp...guess its time to wait and see what 9070 brings us...

[wispy frost]

We are constantly and still strongly active !!! Grab urself a box

[calm pine]

90what

[late saddle]

silk road was awesome

[random rover]

What happens once my place in line comes?

[wispy frost]

Yea…… I’m not much for a mouse myself

[late saddle]

that is exactly what i want with more guns customizations

[chilly jolt]

6 minutes!!!

[late saddle]

tehran map was a bf3 map right?

[strong pier]

I just realized there are no boats in BF2042 are there 💀

[covert nest]

There are

[wispy frost]

I kno they won’t …. But I really hope the play test comes with a hardcore server ……

[manic spear]

original caspian border is still the best map. can't change my mind

[strong pier]

I don't remember any

[covert nest]

Only one map utilised rhibs.

Noshahr

[wispy frost]

Am I the only one out here rocking hardcore servers ?

[boreal talon]

Is it weird that I only played it on 2042😭 great map though

[calm pine]

Technically cheating cause that's a bf3 map

[covert nest]

Arica harbour technically can but only hovercrafts and mavs float on the water.

[wispy frost]

Considering I never even bought 2042 after being a loyal fan ….. yes u should play any of the other older listed games LITERALLY any ….

[chilly jolt]

4 minutes!!!

[pulsar latch]

Some Navy warfare comeback would be sick

[covert nest]

Gimme grand bazaar.

[calm pine]

They should've had flooded maps in 2042 to use boats. Maybe a dutch map ;D

[wispy frost]

Just to take the survey?

[chilly jolt]

yes, for the second time

[wispy frost]

Danmmm

[manic spear]

it looks nice in 2042 but it's way better in BF3 because the vehicles are so much worse in 2042.... not even a TV missile for helis exists

[wispy frost]

Bf4 had it all

[ancient lark]

I was surprised Wake Island never made it to 2042

[main panther]

I JUST realized that too WOW lol

[covert nest]

It's funny too because TV missiles are actually recognised as independent vehicles in 2042.

[wispy frost]

Bf4 4 the win

[covert nest]

Honestly as long as attack choppers aren't bullshit then it's fine.

[manic spear]

3 > 4

[ancient lark]

ehm.. 2>3>4

[main panther]

Agreed 100%

[late saddle]

i want that map but in daytime

[heady thorn]

I like a lot about BF4, but i will say it has quite the bloated amount of weapons, many which just are not good.

[wispy frost]

Fell in love with 3 but married 4 lmao

[rancid osprey]

Just gimme my UCAV so i can kill pilots in heli's

[boreal talon]

Yea I ik I’ve played 4-1-5

[late saddle]

i want more weapons

[calm pine]

Bf2042 really dropped the ball when it to combined arms imo. It works better when infantry and vehicles are separated like that cliff map and so on. There wasn't a ton of destruction for vehicles to lure out infantry from cover imo compared bfv or bf1. Hope next one improves on that

[heady thorn]

I want more weapons than what 2042 has thats for sure lol

But there is an upper limit to things after a certain point🤣

[wispy frost]

I like those type of options…. Makes it more fun for custom servers that require the use of lesser powered weapons or even more fun getting kills with them against others ….

[late saddle]

can we break bf4 record

[boreal talon]

Probably best on 3 on 4 it had this ugly autum theme and an actual wall

[wispy frost]

We stilling playing today …. I doubt it ….

[calm pine]

I don't care about the amount of weaponry, just that the selection is true balanced and varied.

[whole prawn]

Bad company 3 plz!

[heady thorn]

There is good things and bad things, but so much about them is just copy-pasted over stat wise.

[manic spear]

caspian border 2013 or whatever it was called lol... it was so bad.. that stupid wall

[wispy frost]

Bf4 while maybe flawed did this best imo

[manic spear]

if it was destructablke it would have been cool (maybe)

[late saddle]

[heady thorn]

2142

[wispy frost]

Xbox LOBK server rush hardcore all the time

[calm pine]

Did do a ton of copy paste of stats, but on ze other hand, it meant you never not like a gun in the same categories ;D

[chilly jolt]

less than a minute

no way

[calm pine]

But definitely good wide variety of gun styles

[wispy frost]

AND ATTACHMENTS ….

[strong pier]

you can do it man

[late saddle]

name some guns you want to see

[wispy frost]

True but the attachment allowed you a little bit of tweeting

[heady thorn]

I do think you can have a good amount of variety without the bloat 😄

[rancid osprey]

AN94

[wispy frost]

Lmao

[void holly]

jetpackz

[civic raptor]

I really do hope we get bf1 in portal

[sage trout]

Ak101

[fierce otter]

Is it confirmed that Portal is returning?

[late saddle]

101 not ak 12?

[fierce otter]

I seen a video saying it is. But no official news.

[random rover]

I am so confused. what am I waiting in line for?

[chilly jolt]

"THANK YOU FOR REGISTERING" 😭

[wispy frost]

Lmao

[sage trout]

There alot ak now

[rancid osprey]

DELICIOUS DONUTS SPOTTED

[strong pier]

That phantom bow stuff was great

from bf4

[wispy frost]

Still rocking the phantom dude

[late saddle]

true hard to understand which one is which

[civic raptor]

BFH and BF1 Need to in portal
I actually like BFH

[late saddle]

bow i want the bikes back

[sage trout]

Or ak74m

[calm pine]

Usas with frag, type 2a, ke7: bfv launch edition... I'm kidding ;D

[sage trout]

Or

[wispy frost]

One post per please but please post the the battlefield game u have the most hours in and the total hours for that game just cutouts out there

[rancid osprey]

Rorsch Mk-1 from BF4 was pretty fun too

[ancient lark]

BF2/Special Forces 1,200

[wispy frost]

Curious

[chilly jolt]

same!

[fallow bobcat]

BF4 just needs put on unreal engine 5. GOTY

[civic raptor]

unreal engine doesnt suit every game

[calm pine]

I rather see it on ue4 xd

[civic raptor]

I heard cd project red is having issues with witcher 4 on ue5

[calm pine]

Though ue5 does have vr support 🤔

[civic raptor]

UE5 is overated.

[manic spear]

that thing was so insane. Always reminds me of the Battfield firends episode they made on this xD

[wispy frost]

Battlefield game with ur most hours and what are those hours ?

[civic raptor]

Im happy rockstar is sticking with RAGE and EA sticking with frostbite

[fallow bobcat]

the games just look so good on it

[rancid osprey]

8k+ on BF4

[civic raptor]

eh not as playable haha

lots of ue5 demos have no gameplay

[manic spear]

~1500h on BF3 i think

[calm pine]

Every ue5 title i played had issues with performance xd

[civic raptor]

Kinda new 44 on BF4

[fallow bobcat]

Enough hours on BF4 to kill 2 ps4s

[civic raptor]

These new devs and just ue5 in general have bad optimization

[wispy frost]

lol I don’t have that but I have 1687H on bf4

1687H on bf4

[random rover]

Registered without having to wait on the queue... anyone tthat is waiting in a queue is ridiculous. Start googling...

[strong pier]

I have like 800h on BF4 current account, previous got hacked at like 80lvl, so maybe 1000h.

[wispy frost]

1687!! Myself

[cunning chasm]

on delta force on ultra setting i got 250 fps

playing on 2k

ryzen 7800x3d 3070ti 64gb ram

[fallow bobcat]

I do feel like that game has ran really good on UE5

[cunning chasm]

delta force is very good optimized i think

marvel rivals too

but i got crashes some times

[wispy frost]

How’d do u kno ? You’ve played delta force ?

[cunning chasm]

im playing now

[glacial orchid]

XD

[fallow bobcat]

Everything on ultra i get 180fps

[wispy frost]

Nice I thought about downloading it

[fading wharf]

I’m in 🔥🔥

[wispy frost]

I thought about downloading it just cuz I miss battlefield but me and the squad still rocking bf4

[cunning chasm]

its really good, like the battlefield i wanted to play when 2042 release

[wispy frost]

I worried about the lack of graphics or the fact that it wouldn’t surpass bf4 imo

[manic spear]

delta force is 2042 in good... which is still worse than an actual battlefield but better than nothing 😂

[fallow bobcat]

Nothing will surpass bf4

[cunning chasm]

the only bad things i see on delta foce is the specialist thing and the server with bots

[fallow bobcat]

i only play the operations mode just tarkov on easy

[glacial orchid]

please for the love of everything that is Holy Battlefield no more specialist and that Go Go Gadgets and passive abilities because they want 3D spotting with wallhacks

[random rover]

Go to EA profile and go to playtesting..

[cunning chasm]

you remember the release of 2042 is a dog sh1 game full of bugs and missing things

[manic spear]

2042 was the worst thing ever made

[paper relic]

Any difference between this & waiting in this god forsaken queue?

[winter viper]

We need Sbmm and 1 hit snipers /s

[twilit coyote]

2042 is ass tbh

[simple onyx]

2042 was a major letdown

[twilit coyote]

yeah it looked generic as hell

[winter viper]

7800x3d and 4070 Super, I average 275-340 fps on Delta Force

[simple onyx]

I haave the same CPU and GPU and i love it

[winter viper]

Warfare and I don't lie

[unborn summit]

The problem with unreal is that its super buggy

crashes often and other bs

[chilly jolt]

will I get an email confirming my registration?

was I supposed to fill a survey?

[wispy frost]

lol yes

Pretty sure it increases ur chances

[ivory hamlet]

is there minimum specs out for the game

[manic spear]

Do you think they'll bring Portal back, but this time actually support the mode and make it good? Not just theoretically good, but actually good?

[chilly jolt]

I read people yesterday filled a survey. But I only got a click, that I wanted to take part, and it finished...

[covert nest]

.

[ivory hamlet]

oh

thanks king

[wispy frost]

I’m not …. It literally said it at the beginning of the survey lol

I mean in general filling out more of the survey…. It did say may increase ur chances …

[ivory hamlet]

wait are we gonna have to write a whole ass essay on why we should be a tester

or is it like chance

[fallow bobcat]

#1268760 lol

[wispy frost]

If it said it does and doesn’t then why say it would b4 filling out the survey?

[twilit coyote]

#1140835

[wispy frost]

lol we moved on I’m not speaking to that specific question of the survey

Yes but is tells you that filling out the survey may increase ur chances….

[covert nest]

Oh God he's talking about it again.

[wispy frost]

lol no I’m not

[sturdy garnet]

chance as always

[wispy frost]

I’m not talking about the specific questions …. I’m talking about taking the survey in general

It was b4 that specific question….

[covert nest]

Just a super weird thing to focus on.

[ivory hamlet]

wow so it's like a 10% chance i'm gonna get in

did they say how many people are gonna be able to join the test

[sturdy garnet]

more like 0.1%, all the new fortnite kids signing up will get it

[wispy frost]

I’m not focusing on it someone asked if filling out the survey would help there chances

[ivory hamlet]

does account age have any effect on it

[sturdy garnet]

no

[wispy frost]

I would have to ask someone to take screen shots of the page when it asks you to take the survey … I didn’t screen shot anything but what I felt out of order …..

[glacial orchid]

Interesting mine said he didn't determine anything

And I can't share screenshots

[wispy frost]

If u read it b4 taking the survey it says it may increase ur chances of being selected…

I just took it not to long ago and read it … I’m not trying to sit here in lie ….

Making “alt” ?

[glacial orchid]

I mean...his name does say he is a Clown lmao

[wispy frost]

What is alt ?

[wispy frost]

lol it does butt

[glacial orchid]

cant take Clowns serious

[wispy frost]

lol I’m not lying ….. I wouldn’t have taken it if it didn’t tell me that it would increase my chances

[glacial orchid]

sure

[covert nest]

We have literally told you it's so dice knows the kind of people who have signed up and are playing their playtests.

That's the purpose of it.

[sturdy garnet]

it's all rng there's nothing you can do to improve your chances, make a brand new account and do the least amount possible and you will have equal chance to get in as someone who has had an EA account since day 1 and own every battlefield, they really don't care, idk how I can stress that enough, it's all free beta testing, for them to go on and make billions in profits, ez, the phrase "showbiz" comes to mind, it's ruthless out there

[chilly jolt]

ok I apparently I can go to my playtest profile, hit preferences and do the survey there ig.
it's the EA playtest survey, not related to BF.

[covert nest]

Ish

[wispy frost]

Oh yes please do !!! If I had the time I would now too I’m not trying to sit here and lie or anything I’m telling what I read …

[covert nest]

I see where you're coming from.

[wispy frost]

Now I’m afraid I didn’t take the correct survey or something ….

Wish this would allow screen shots ….

[ivory hamlet]

couldn't u also then just farm alt accounts and sign up

not that im gonna do that

just saying

[wispy frost]

I’m telling you….. I read it would increase your chances…..

[sturdy garnet]

that's what everyone has been doing for the past 10 years, yes

[wispy frost]

Not sure of the difference….

[ivory hamlet]

im cooked

[wispy frost]

Did I take the wrong survey?

[hot ice]

The "Future of Battlefield" email, is it only people who signed up who gets that email?

[ivory hamlet]

time to be forced to spend 120 dollars on this new battlefield game that releases like in 2026

since playtest queue is just gonna be bots

[sturdy garnet]

whilst also ensuring that our games are inclusive experiences for everyone
that's exactly how not to make a great game 😄

[ivory hamlet]

i rlly hope they're just saying that to look good and not take that advice to heart

[wispy frost]

And after you opt in it will tell you the more you fill out may affect your chances of being selected

[sturdy garnet]

every single battlefield has been worse than the last, it's down in the dumpster right now, if they can climb up it'll be a miracle, however, the fact that they're going back to the last "good" battlefield is promising, hopefully they can at least make a "good" game 3/5

[wispy frost]

Technically I said filling the survey would increase your chances not the other way around ….

[ivory hamlet]

why are u guys talking so much about a survey

it is not that deep bro

[wispy frost]

People were asking if taking it or not taking would affect the selection process

[sturdy garnet]

it won't affect it

[ivory hamlet]

it said it may increase your chances but i doubt that's true

[wispy frost]

Did you opt of of taking the survey?

[wispy frost]

U read that too ! So im not the only one !!!

[ivory hamlet]

why would they care about if i'm white and a male

i didn't screenshot it

why would i screenshot that

i did get that though

[wispy frost]

Seee Danm I shoulda screen shot it !!

[ivory hamlet]

just ask a friend to sign up

[wispy frost]

Seeeee I’m not the only one…. I’m not crazy

[ivory hamlet]

idk why u didn't get it

[wispy frost]

Did not out of taking the survey ? That could be why …

[ivory hamlet]

it asked dumb questions though like gender and race and interests

probably trying to get my security questions lmao

[wispy frost]

Omg I’m not the only one thank you …

Then you missed the information that told you filling out the survey may increase ur chances during the selection process

[ripe fog]

So I can confirm the link to skip the queue is legit way. I waited in the queue for the whole day after I skipped it first and my registration to the playtest was still in place (I didn’t see it available to register). So just skip the queue and enjoy your life

[wispy frost]

That may be why u missed the information regarding ur chances possibly increasing based on the amount of info you fill out in the survey

[rustic crest]

How many is in the queue now ?

[ripe fog]

Just use the bookmarked link and skip it

See my message above. Good night

[wispy frost]

I just read that the amount of info you fill out in the survey may increase your chances of being selected….. and I’m clearly not the only one …… I’m not crazy or trying to fight about it …..

I think you had to, to get to the other survey

Perhaps but specifically included this play test too

It didn’t read like that …..

Me and others then …

I just remeber vividly reading that the more information given in the survey may increase ur chances of being selected to provide a variety of different play-testers

[ancient lark]

It did say that for the second portion of the survey

Before you took it

[wispy frost]

Seee

[bitter rover]

Once again that part was to ask about games you play and the platform. The optional part of the survey was about gender. Which you are still stuck on after getting your answer multiple times and told to move on.

[wispy frost]

You think ….

[ancient lark]

I read it, and went heck yeah.. more info for more % chance... take my infos!

[wispy frost]

Omg I have moved on … not even talking about that portion

[ancient lark]

I did not, since I really couldn't help there

[wispy frost]

We are speaking to taking the survey increase ur genderal

[bitter rover]

It’s the same survey and I just explained that to you

[ancient lark]

Basically it went.. Queue.. then sign in to EA account.. take Survey 1.. boom you are registered, congrats. Then there was a a button "take additional survey"? It had a * if you provide more info it could help your chances for an invite. Something like that

[bitter rover]

Also they ask that survey for every playtest not just battlefield labs

[ancient lark]

Roger

[wispy frost]

I’m not trying that …. I’m just saying according to what I read the more information given you fill in the survey it may increase ur chances during…

[kindred haven]

ofc, did you guys fill out the race section?

[ancient lark]

Yep

[wispy frost]

Yes but only cuz I read in there that it may increase ur chances of being selected

[kindred haven]

didnt say that

[wispy frost]

I could be wrong ….

[ancient lark]

It asked questions like.. Region.. and then more types of games, genres ect ect

[wispy frost]

But wasn’t gunna take that chance a lot of decisions are based on it lol especially ai or generated ones

[bitter rover]

Yes because they’ll want to select people with certain equipment / knowledge/ experience. It would be hard to gain credible data without those points

[ebon siren]

they should have made every pass an iq test to be selected.

[bitter rover]

Seriously

[ancient lark]

I was just bummed they didn't have the OG BF games.. only 3,4,1,V 8(

[kindred haven]

?

[ancient lark]

As.. ones you have played before

in the survey

[manic spear]

ehm... I just signed into my account on my phone because I didn't want to wait for the queue on PC all the time...
But i was able to instant sign into BF labs without any queue at all there xD

[kindred haven]

you dont wanna play bf 2142 over bf3

[bitter rover]

Nope. I never do, even with jobs apps.

[wispy frost]

I’m not saying im right …. And im not pushing anything …. Clearly it’s miss leading and im not the only one ….

[swift plover]

As an FYI the "Report a Problem" link at the bottom of the playtest listing redirects to news, not a place to report the problem

[ancient lark]

Noooooo way! I need that head bob when running 8)

[bitter rover]

It’s common sense.

[ancient lark]

But I did crush as support in Titan Mode!

[wispy frost]

Doesn’t hurt your chances but may increase them if there’s a select criteria of applicants

[pallid coral]

I got the second survey and I said no to accessibility 🙂

[wispy frost]

I think so too they should honestly get rid of it entirely to avoid the confusion or better explain it

[kindred haven]

dont click that

[pallid coral]

Don't click that

That's not even a steam link

[kindred haven]

its a fake link if you can read

[pallid coral]

Steam S community

[kindred haven]

Report them

[wispy frost]

Do you recal it saying anything about the info affecting being selected ?

[pallid coral]

Wtf is this auto mod? I wrote the Playtest email and got timed out for 24h but this guy just gets away with it

[wispy frost]

How or why did he get pushed to the second survey?

[ancient lark]

I cannot get back to the page where I could click to take the second survey.. that is where it had the *blah blah blah

[pallid coral]

It just said doing this survey may increase your chances to get into Playtest

Yes

I'm pretty sure everyone has that second survey as an optional one

[wispy frost]

Omg I don’t wanna fight but thank god I’m not the only one …. Sorry D

[pallid coral]

I don't soz

[kindred haven]

@balmy ledge are you a mod? Can you blow him up real quick? (Delete his message)

[pallid coral]

I don't take screenshots of surveys in case they're under NDA

[bitter rover]

Report it and block

[pallid coral]

Hess is a legacy mod they don't have any powers

[wispy frost]

Oooooooo never thought of that !

[kindred haven]

ping moderator

[pallid coral]

I don't wanna take my chances

[wispy frost]

Perhaps but still I never thought of that

Still D to my point I’m not the only one ….

[bitter rover]

If you haven’t signed anything yet you can ss

[kindred haven]

no moderation is crazy

[bitter rover]

Yeah, shoot if they hiring send us a DM lol

[wispy frost]

Not trying to argue D but clearly I’m not the only one …..

[pallid coral]

The ring I'm mind fucked about more is that I never got into the queue

[wispy frost]

Affirmative action is nothing new ……

[pallid coral]

I just got access to the survey without any queue

[prime steppe]

Will this be lowered as development progresses or will these be the final spec lists

[pallid coral]

Maybe maybe not

[prime steppe]

I mean the game is pretty early on so I don't doubt that they'll optimise it further

[pallid coral]

If you go to the Playtest page again you can do that one again once u finish registering to the labs

I still have access to that survey

[balmy ledge]

I have messaged modmail about that link :)

[pallid coral]

It's bugged or whatever idk but I've never been in a queue and get instant access to the surveys lmao

[kindred haven]

thank you dont want anyone losing their discord login

[pallid coral]

You bet someone already did

[kindred haven]

yeah

[ebon siren]

It's a shame Battlefield has so many toxic players racist perverts and weirdos. None of whom should even have a chance at anything.

[balmy ledge]

no problem at all! everyone can contact modmail at #how-to-report-and-appeal

[kindred haven]

boss man will do thx

[balmy ledge]

but yes im just a formed admin these days <3

[wispy frost]

What gave you the opinion battlefield has toxic racist perverts and wierdo’s ? We are simply trying to establish the fact that some of us read that filling out the survey info may increase ur chances of being selected

[ebon siren]

If it doesn't apply to you, why would you even respond to that?

I was just stating a fact.

[wispy frost]

Cuz I’m a battlefield player and feel like u put me in that group bcuz im a battlefield player ….

[wispy frost]

Based on what information ….

[ebon siren]

Based on my own personal observation.

[wispy frost]

So not facts …

[ebon siren]

Yes, when I have clips and screenshots of the chat, then it is facts.

in game chat.

[oblique wind]

my queue got resetted lmfaooooo

[ebon siren]

If you never experienced those servers, then good for you.

[oblique wind]

without any reason

[wispy frost]

Ok and what was said that portrays “perverts, racism, wierdos, ect ?

[bitter rover]

Nooo

[woven sundial]

Finally signed up! 💃

[oblique wind]

I was at 70k and I literally got resetted to 1M for no reason

😭 🙏

how do I

[bitter rover]

It’s at 1M?!

[ebon siren]

You're nobody so I don't have to explain anything to you about what was said orWhen trust, they were reported.

[woven sundial]

I'd been on since around 5pm (it's now midnight 🤣)

[ebon siren]

You're obviously one of the toxic players.

[prime fern]

finally registered after 24h hour wait lol

[wispy frost]

Why am I being prosecuted and called a lier when I merely pass a long what was presented to me….. and others ….when the question was “does taking the survey” increase ur chances of being selected …..

[bitter rover]

Don’t feed the troll bro. Just ignore.

[woven sundial]

I was on it yesterday from 3pm, then went to bed before I got chance, then went to work this morning & came back obviously I'd lost my place 😭 so went back on when I got home and finally in hahah

[ebon siren]

You just think you're some kind of "jesture" clown? Which part of that is true, the clown part. And you.
Trying to troll a statement I made. Same type of dude that just gets on the chats to try to troll people.

[bitter rover]

That’s tough.

[woven sundial]

I know, right!

[prime fern]

i missed my spot 2 times 😂

[bitter rover]

I left the tab open on my phone for like 10 hrs yesterday. Casually checked on it throughout the day

[woven sundial]

Honestly, I was not going to bed until I was registered! Been playing 2042, until now hahah

[ebon siren]

If you're trying to get in the testing, they will send you an email before it starts. That's as simple as that. That's the last thing that I've seen after registering and everything else in surveys.

[woven sundial]

That's what I should have done! However my brain wasn't braining, and I forgot 🤭

[pallid coral]

Where can I buy the VIP pass to skip the queue

[bitter rover]

This ain’t universal studios brother lol

[pallid coral]

LOL

[bitter rover]

Wish they added an alert 🚨, would help clear the queue

[pallid coral]

Nah I got extra lucky, for some reason I didn't even get into a queue when I did my survey

[woven sundial]

Wouldn't it just!

[pallid coral]

My friend and I did it at the same time. He got into a queue of I think 10000~ and I just got straight in. Same country same city

[ebon siren]

If you're selected, you'll receive an email. Don't get so sweaty lol

[pallid coral]

This is why I quit ranked surveying, too many sweats 😭 🙏

[ebon siren]

exactly

[oblique wind]

aight I just skipped the queue why didn't I know this earlier 😭

[bitter rover]

Oooo he stealing 😅

[ebon siren]

This is exactly why I said they should have made everyone pass. An IQ test to be selected. Sheesh🤦

[halcyon chasm]

this queue system makes no sense why are they doing that, it's almost impossible to register for your average guy that is working

[ebon siren]

iq test would have probably narrowed down like 95% of battlefield community.

[pallid coral]

What does IQ have to do with testing a game

That is some room temperature iq thoughts

[bitter rover]

Just leave a tab open on your phone. When it gets down to the last hr wait time it’ll tell you.

[halcyon chasm]

it didn't, I already lost my spot once because of that

[ebon siren]

omg so many sweatlords🤦

[pallid coral]

EA should only allow the top 1% IQ people with 2GBps Internet and a 5080 to participate: 🤓 ☝️

[bitter rover]

That’s weird, I legit just left mine open and checked on it

[halcyon chasm]

tho tbf my spot was when I was in the middle of work, I went in queue again at 14, it's 1am and i'm still in queue

[pallid coral]

Whole point of testing is for a diverse amount of people to test lol

It's like breeding only the highest IQ in humans and killing others creating a genetic convergence

[obtuse vessel]

Is there a way to get it to send too a diff email i low key dont have access to the one connected to m ea i just rememberd💔

[bitter rover]

Maybe it was your turn and the 15 min window to act on it passed so it re entered you in the queue?

[ebon siren]

Well, technically that doesn't make sense as a factor because it doesn't really matter how fast your internet speed is if you suck at the game. I definitely don't have the fastest internet speed but I've. Taken out many the "best"tryhards who I'm sure have all the "best stuff"lol

[halcyon chasm]

I just find that queue system so dumb, if we didn't have a queue their server would have struggled for 3 hours at most and we would all be registered, instead we have over 150k people trying to register all day and failing at it

[bitter rover]

Make a new account

[vocal siren]

sooo
whats is this game or gamemode even supposed to be ?

[bitter rover]

That’s a great question

[vocal siren]

why is it called labs

[pallid coral]

I'm sorry but I still don't rlly understand your point with the IQ thing

[vocal siren]

and not like bf6 or whatever

[pallid coral]

It'll take time brubah

They said they'll let us know when they're sending out emails

[tight parcel]

<Hey guys i'm a bit out of touch, can someone please provide me a link that resume what is BF Labs and all or explain to me what is going on ?

[pallid coral]

Lobotomy*

Battlefield Lobs

[vocal siren]

is this something like garrys mod ?

with user generated content ?

[pallid coral]

No it's just a fancy way to say "a group of testers for the new battlefield"

[vocal siren]

tf did i sign in for

[ebon siren]

I had no point with registering or anything up until this point I understand what they're doing. It makes perfect sense, they've explained it in very clear details. So that's.
Exactly. Why they should have an IQ test? Because if you can't even get past that and understand you just need to have patience. If you were able to register correctly. And comprehend. Then there wouldn't be all this chit.Chat about not being able too in all these sweaty comments

[pallid coral]

To volunteer to be a tester for the new bf game

[ancient lark]

The pinned notes state no email

[potent tulip]

Let’s hope this goes as good as BF4 CTE and better.

[wispy frost]

Toxic much ?

[pallid coral]

Idk if that's satire

[obtuse vessel]

Nah its for my dad he thinks his account stats effect if hes getting in or not, probably does but still. But since this is like the only game he plays hes got 100s of hours of progress dont think he wants to switch up of that makes sense

[ebon siren]

Is a lot of you. Just need to go outside and touch some grass really.lol

[obtuse vessel]

Oh yeah that makes alot more sense then coming to discord

[somber wraith]

They should keep this going through the life of the game kind of like they did with bf4

[ancient lark]

It doesn't, this will be my 7th or 8th BF game.. Ive probably got ~3000 hours between them all. But I don't think it gives me any advantage at all.

[pallid coral]

Are you just angry the queue is long

[ebon siren]

huh???

[obtuse vessel]

Ok thanks

[pallid coral]

They said they want veterans and new players alike

So your chances are probs equal

[ancient lark]

Bingo

😁

[ebon siren]

Unlike you I didn't have any problem with the survey. Or being in que They laid everything out pretty simple. Why understand it I'm just having patience and waiting. I stated that about three times already

[somber wraith]

I signed up on the website and there was queue

[pallid coral]

The more u over think this the worse it gets.

Speaking from exp xD

[somber wraith]

No queue*

[wispy frost]

So I just googled “battlefield labs selection process” and got “Players can sign up for Battlefield Labs through an online registration process. EA will select a limited group of participants based on specific criteria”

[ebon siren]

If you did everything right up into this point, then you should just be waiting to be selected if you had no comprehension issues.

[pallid coral]

But that criteria is unknown to us, so best not to overthink

[ancient lark]

Here's what you do.. don't plan on getting in. 😋

[somber wraith]

The website did crash a couple of times though but I’m also not on WiFi

[frigid garden]

Yeah if you get through to the website

It has back and next

[proven warren]

hello guys

[frigid garden]

Once that loads in properly you’ve applied to be in test

[wispy frost]

This is very true…. I’m just presenting what I’ve found so far

[pallid coral]

Tbh there's bugs in the website bro. I finished 2 surveys and when I get to the home page it tells me there's another survey "in progress" not completed lol. It's an objective bug, doesn't have anything to do with my iq

[pallid coral]

Yess ❤️

[frigid garden]

Then it says if you fill questionnaire it boosts chances

[ancient lark]

1.2m and counting, they are after a couple/few thousand. Odds aren't great. So.... Shrug

[buoyant fulcrum]

Just registered. Im pumped

[pallid coral]

LETS GOO

[wispy frost]

What’s with the hate ? I’m only presenting what I’ve found …..

[frigid garden]

I was 1 million in queue last night

It’s now midnight the next day

I’m 7000

[ancient lark]

0 hate, that's how I am preparing myself.

[potent tulip]

The only thing that is a bit worrying is that on the EA account it doesn’t list any registration on a playtest and instead puts me in the queue again. Even tho I already registered.

[ebon siren]

Hopefully, they won't let anyone test at all That was unable to understand the registration and survey portion.

[buoyant fulcrum]

I fell asleep last night and had been waiting since this morning to get in. Just did

[pallid coral]

Go sleep

[wispy frost]

Then why should I not get to play test ?

[potent tulip]

Wdym

I already registered

[pallid coral]

its a little confusing but if u saw the msg "thank you for registering" you're probs good

even if u still have a survey

[buoyant fulcrum]

The building destruction looks sooooo sick.

[wispy frost]

Ur hating on people asking questions and providing information

[potent tulip]

I was just pointing out that back in the day it would list your active playtests on your EA account

[ebon siren]

No just on you

[pallid coral]

they dun copied THE FINALS THE GREATEST GAMESHOW IN THE WORLD 🗣️

[pallid coral]

bros an elitist 😭

[potent tulip]

The destruction reminds me more of bf3 tbh

Fair point

[buoyant fulcrum]

@potent tulip Ngl I play bf4 custom hardcore servers and they have bf2+3+4 maps. Its so sick

[ebon siren]

They're doing it to weed out. People like you clown.thats the reason for the whole process

[pallid coral]

bf4 servers have older maps too?

[buoyant fulcrum]

Yup! @pallid coral

[wispy frost]

Unless u can undoubtedly give the full criteria for being selected …. Why is it so wrong for others to assume what it in all the criteria may be

[pallid coral]

😮 its been a while since ive played

might have to get back

[potent tulip]

I agree just the destruction of the higher floors on buildings which rains down deadly debris reminds me more of BF3 there is less stuff like that in BF4

[ebon siren]

i cant wait to play test its gonna be soooo much fun!!!!! lol

[buoyant fulcrum]

@potent tulip I didnt play too much bf3 but the maps are awesome 👌🏼👌🏼

[left peak]

Hopefully there is a campaign like battle field 3 and 4 and multiplayer is like 3

But with more destruction and modern

[wispy frost]

Unless you can give a full list of the criteria considered when being selected why is it so wrong for others to presume what might be included in that criteria?

[ebon siren]

they already said they're for sure. It's gonna be a story mode.

[potent tulip]

Bf3 map design was superior. But the versatility and sandbox feeling of BF4 was unbeatable

[left peak]

If it’s a combination of 3 and 4 it will be the best one yet

And with a good story

In the campaign

[wispy frost]

You just enjoy shitting in other people who may have a different opinion? I’m not up here shitting on people ….

[buoyant fulcrum]

The server i play on bf4 has like gulf of oman from bf2 as well as like metro / firestorm from bf3. The new bf's since then have not been a match. Hoping this is it 🙌

[ebon siren]

jester look i wish you the best of luck. hope you are selected.

[potent tulip]

But I missed the gritty feeling of BF3. Grand bazar really made me feel like I’m at a real location in the Middle East as i do have family there.

[pallid coral]

i think we're back to nato vs ru

[craggy cloak]

i didnt get a survey but got "thanks for registering"

[potent tulip]

I really hope they find the balance with between realism and balance.

[pallid coral]

oh ive had a friend who this happened to

[ebon siren]

The maps in 3 and 4 were so much better than any other ones.

[pallid coral]

they just clicked the survey and got the "thanks for registering'

i think u gotta redo the survey

[buoyant fulcrum]

@ebon siren AGREED

[potent tulip]

💯

[wispy frost]

I wonder if they could do that with it being “so close to home”

[wispy frost]

I did enjoy the bf3 Russia campaign story

[pallid coral]

for me, riptide from bfh was also a good and memorable map

tho def a little empty

[ebon siren]

I was a little concerned at first. Listening to all the rumors, But but based on the recent updates seems like they're definitely concerned with the fanbase that Made 3 and 4 successful. Which was great news for me to hear.

[wispy frost]

Bf3 bf4 vet

[ebon siren]

Definitely. I never even played any of the other ones, to be honest. In between 2042.

[potent tulip]

I personally doubt china explicitly will be included more like a Asian coalition because they don’t want the game to be banned over there like BF4 or they don’t make any negative connotation on china. It’s to big of a market to ignore for them.

[pallid coral]

i hope EA doesn't get stuck up in making "another bf3/bf4" but instead take whats good from the peak of bf3/4 and make a new modern battlefield that is "new" (not too far away from the bf formula) but not like a copy paste of bf3/4 combined

[wispy frost]

Played them all except2042

[pallid coral]

like as much as i love bf3 and bf4, i want the "battlefield experience" not strictly the "bf3 experience"

[buoyant fulcrum]

I would say the more dynamic and interactive the maps are the better. 👌

[wispy frost]

What would u consider more ?

[wispy frost]

Honest question especially if there going the bf3/4 route … how could they technically improve say bf4 want to kno what everyone’s expectations are

[pallid coral]

not necessarily "more" but instead a creative twist or gimmick which actually works in the current game design. like how THE FINALS revolves all their maps and gamemodes around destruction. destruction isn't just a gimmick its a core part of the game

like tldr: i just dont want EA to be like "they love bf3, lets just copy paste some stuff from there and they'll love it"

[buoyant fulcrum]

balance is key

[wispy frost]

That’s true but I kinda feel that taking out buildings on top of people or blowing a hole there a lot all or build with a c4 320 ect just to change my approach

[potent tulip]

Well let’s just wait and see. I bet we will see the first indicators of where it’s going with the play test.

[pallid coral]

yeah, im hopeful

[ebon siren]

They definitely need to limit vehicles more too many cheaters have accumulated.

[wispy frost]

Please no Doritos …..

[ancient lark]

0 reason not to be selected. I even wish you good luck!

[wispy frost]

Sarcasm??

[potent tulip]

Yeah or at least no Doritos through smoke

[ancient lark]

Holy hell... sometimes the words are what they are. Have an ounce of positivity. I am being genuine. Good luck!!

[wispy frost]

lol

[wispy frost]

Been taking a lot of heat for my opinions and information…. Just wasn’t sure

[ancient lark]

All good, don't let something you can't control be in charge of your happiness!

[potent tulip]

Well a whole new overworked anticheat or kill cam would be great. Or like CS does or used to do it let seasoned players watch suspicious players

[ebon siren]

AMEN

[frozen yacht]

I finally got in.

[wispy frost]

Am I the only one that wants to see battlefield friends return too? Lmao

[ancient lark]

Hmmm. what was that?

[wispy frost]

What !!!!!!

[ancient lark]

haha

[wispy frost]

What !!!

[potent tulip]

We all do. And I think if this BF turns out to be good they will

[wispy frost]

PROMOTED!!!!’n

[ancient lark]

Yeah, drawing a blank

[ebon siren]

Proximity chat would be pretty awesome. I think too.

[wispy frost]

Squad based and leader based maybe otherwise I could see that going as bad as bf3 viop

[ebon siren]

I really hope they could figure out how to make more balance skill based servers in some way, if possible.

[ancient lark]

Well.. 'back in my day'.. you had multiple voice chat buttons. 6 to a squad, and you could only spawn on Squad Lead (and owned points / base). All 6 squad leaders had a separate voice channel with the Commander. So one person could coordinate the entire force. Was amazing!

[pallid coral]

fr, i dont think EA will even make another bf if this one fails 💀

its like a michellin star recipe made by amateur chefs who don't know that secret ingredient (not saying the devs are noobs, they're not, but the "direction" the game takes is no longer the same as what we want)

[potent tulip]

Yes and no. I think BF is to casual and Arcady for it. Because ppl would abuse it to spam stuff and moderating that without private servers is going to be tough for EA I mean look at the cheaters.

[ebon siren]

good point your right

[potent tulip]

That would be great for Clan wars/ skirmishes

[frozen yacht]

Now all I have to do is wait until I get an email from EA letting me know that I got invited to a playtest.

[pallid coral]

in this generation when EA disabled all chat, i feel like prox is far away lol (tho id love prox)

[potent tulip]

I mean they really have to get back the Platoons and all that what made ppl form communities back in the days.

[ancient lark]

Y'know another thing I miss... what was it called.. XBox Glass or somesuch. You could load a website on a tablet/phone/laptop.. and it would show your ingame map, and you could tweak loadouts. I think that was on BF3

[ebon siren]

Yes, far. Is my understanding? After you complete registration and survey successfully. We all should just have to wait to get an email invitation.

[potent tulip]

U mean battle log and the battle screen.

[pallid coral]

youll get an email from playtest(at)ea(dot)com

[bitter rover]

Yurp

[ancient lark]

That could be it.. it was such a cool immersion addition for the game!

[potent tulip]

I still use battlelog on my second screen when I play BF4.

[ebon siren]

Agreed,i remember It being an all around more positive experience and fun.
" Back in the days."lol

[pallid coral]

its such a nice feature

[potent tulip]

That was more than 10 years ago so yeah back in the good old days.

[ancient lark]

mmhmm

[gusty talon]

Im so excited. 24h in the queue and finally im here. Hi to everybody ❤️❤️

[ebon siren]

yea man, i stoped playing after bf4 For years I wasn't playing any video games. Until like 2yrs after 2042 came out

[sturdy garnet]

the (first) selection won't happen for a week or two, don't remember, so there's no rush signing up now, queue will be a lot shorter in a few days

[potent tulip]

Tbh I realy hope some BF3 ENDGAME DLC maps get revived.

[wispy frost]

Why u stop playing bf4 we still on all the time hardcore rush all day baby

[sturdy garnet]

the number 1 biggest mistake game devs make in franchises like this, is to not bring back the best maps from previous games, unbelievably stupid

[leaden trout]

hi

[wispy frost]

Noshar canals was classic bf3

[ebon siren]

I meant, I just didn't have any gaming system or anything. I was just living lifeman. To be honest I didn't really have time to game at all.

[sturdy garnet]

it was only good in Rush

[ancient lark]

For those that did stick through 2042 (I admit I took a year break and then had a blast for the last seasons).. what maps did you like? Exposure is a top 3 map in all my playing. At least for BF.. all modes going at once in there.

[wispy frost]

True …. But up until a couple months ago I was and still play on the original Xbox one …

[potent tulip]

2042 had a really rough start but so did every battlefield. But the major changes they made really made me not see it as a classic BF game more of a side story/spinnoff game.

[leaden trout]

does this means that I kinda registered for LABS it was yesterday just after the new trailer

https://puu.sh/KnAdC/dffeee74b5.jpg

[wispy frost]

Why does the “trailer” just looo like snip its from bf4 tho …

[sturdy garnet]

lol don't try and make 2042 seem like in the same league as the real BFs (2/3/4), 2042 was an utter disaster

[ancient lark]

At first, but the end of it did start to have the feel. Totally not on the same level. I had a blast every day logging in. Was the first one I figured out how the passes worked, lol.

[leaden trout]

@wispy frost or more like bF3-bf4

[wispy frost]

To be fair bf4’s launch was incredibly unstable as well ….

I feel like many forget the amount of bugs and crashes we had on the bf4 launch I was there through it all and so were battlefield friends ! lol

[leaden trout]

but best made game

[potent tulip]

I don’t. But do u remember when BF4 didn’t play higher than 30hz on pc that was a nightmare too

[sturdy garnet]

Ye, had months of crashes, and BF4 was shit compared to BF3, BF4 was BF 3.5, charged full price and made several things worse.. gg

[wispy frost]

Having a computer to play on was high end then

[sturdy garnet]

don't remember a 30hz bug, I was playing on 120Hz

[wispy frost]

It was but they eventually got it right

[leaden trout]

did you have noticed that since PREMIUM is gone DICE cannot guarantee content, I would rather pay for PREMIUM if they have one just to have FUN for once in BF game not only to thing on bugs and when new content will come

[zenith remnant]

What does EA mean by “external NDA sessions” like home playtests with a PC ot visiting a site ripple effect
Anyone know?

[sturdy garnet]

last day of BF4 with all patches and DLCs, yes, BF4 was better than 3, but that took such a long time, all the new premium maps and crap

[potent tulip]

THIS 💯

[potent tulip]

CTE literally saved it.

[wispy frost]

True but it created a game I and many others including my squad still get on and play … even hardcore servers

[sturdy garnet]

Yep

[wispy frost]

CTE?

[sturdy garnet]

only because devs were too incompetent

[leaden trout]

BF3 BF4 and BF1 had the premium feature and all 3 of them were awesome

[sturdy garnet]

Community Test Environment (CTE)

basically what we are getting now for BF6, "Labs", that's literally what CTE was

[leaden trout]

since they removed it, they are not obligated to give content on timeline as was stated in previous premium titles

[wispy frost]

I just remeber playing the betas and such

[leaden trout]

but CTE came in BF4 like 1 and half year after lauch

[ebon siren]

I'll be completely honest, man. I don't even take gaming that seriously to use PC for it.lol But I fell in love with 3 and 4. that was actualy the first and only multi player game. I ever played in my life. Even till this day.

[leaden trout]

when we all vote for new fan made map

[wispy frost]

Ahhh

[potent tulip]

This is what is making me hopeful that this MIGHT be going the right direction. (REMEMBER NO PREORDERS).

[sturdy garnet]

basically devs were shit at their job, people hated the game, so many issues, someone finally convinced someone at DICE to introduce a "CTE" separate game client where we could test shit ("alpha/beta test some feature"), then they could put it in the actual game

[ancient lark]

Its... so... hard... not to

[wispy frost]

Why do I remeber bf3 being so flawless tho …

[leaden trout]

cuz it was

[sturdy garnet]

the Battlefield franchise is absolutely riddled with incompetent developers, almost unlike any other, 90% should've been fired

[leaden trout]

and BF3 was made in course of 2009-2011

[naive vigil]

Anybody know when this goes live?

[wispy frost]

Couldn’t they just seek out all dev involved with the better battlefield aka bf3/4 lol

[leaden trout]

@naive vigil what ?

[potent tulip]

Just don’t do it. Play the playtest yourself or watch videos and streams. And even if just get EA PLAY PRO for a month and play it on release for a fraction of the price.

[bitter rover]

“ in the coming weeks”

[wispy frost]

Does anybody how many,who, and names of dev related to past battlefields ?

[sturdy garnet]

"seek out devs" lol, that costs money, and everything is about making money, hire the most incompetent people straight out of school, dirt pay and try and force them to come up with something half assed, that's good enough

[naive vigil]

Ahhh

[ancient lark]

I will try.. this franchise is my favorite for over 20 years now. But I do hear you

[leaden trout]

this month probably

[twilit coyote]

only 2,018 people left bro...

[potent tulip]

U can even play it if there is an earlier release for pre orders with ea play pro the same time.

[leaden trout]

they need time to gather those 2,000 players and send them external NDAs to sign and thats it

[ancient lark]

That's just devs.. it took all the right people at each level leading the project and the sprints to get the projects done that were the old great games.

[leaden trout]

I never pre-order games since BF4

[ebon siren]

Make sure you're all checking your emails. Cause that's supposed to be where the information for the invitations gonna come from.

[naive vigil]

I wonder if it trips my spam filter

[potent tulip]

Same here bro. But I just do it like that it’s less of a heartbreak if it doesn’t turn out to be good.

[bitter rover]

Checking my fax 📠

[sturdy garnet]

the games were never "great", that's the problem, they stumbled into some decent shit

[ancient lark]

2042 hurt.. but in the end I got my 500 hours in, and a single battlepass that rolled over for 3 or 4 more.. loved it!

[pallid coral]

checking my PO box

incase EA sends it through actual mail

[potent tulip]

I hope I get in fingers crossed 🤞

[bitter rover]

Morse code

[sturdy garnet]

we talk fondly about BF3 and crap but the game wasn't above a 3/5 (good) game

[ancient lark]

BF2: Special Forces was peak.. nothing wrong with it.. and was simply amazing

[pallid coral]

awaiting war pigeon to send me a letter straight from Motive HQ studios telling me I'm invited

[tight glen]

Have folks gotten in already?

[pallid coral]

no they havent sent ANY emails yet

[wispy frost]

Just wondering if there’s ANY familiar names or faces

[tepid yoke]

I cant Register , why?

[sturdy garnet]

BF2 > BC2 > BF3, those are the only real Battlefield titles, including expansions ofc

[leaden trout]

I really want you to get it

[tight glen]

Good to know!

[naive vigil]

Too late

[pallid coral]

not too late lmao

[bitter rover]

🤣well done

[wraith breach]

What was the waiting in line part for? I thought it was to get early access to bflabs

[wispy frost]

Would be ok if you didn’t hand them the title of last years champs u kno what I mean …

[leaden trout]

BF2042 has elements of Battlefield, Apex and Cod

[pallid coral]

its to do a survey and then potentially be picked out to then be invited to bflabs

[bitter rover]

What’s it saying?

[sturdy garnet]

which is insane

[leaden trout]

the sign in site

[pallid coral]

there's probs roughly ~1 million concurrent people on the bf page at any given moment so its good they added a queue or else no one would be able to do the survey

[wraith breach]

Is the survey sent by email?

[leaden trout]

yes anything but BF game

[naive vigil]

I was already a memeber of EA beta testing crew so I didn't have to do any extra surveys.

[pallid coral]

no after u get past the queue, you get into the survey

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs

click on "sign up now" or whatever the button is

[wraith breach]

Hmmm, it brought me here lol

[pallid coral]

you'll see a playtest registration link

click on that and you'll get into a queue

[bitter rover]

I don’t think they doing the survey anymore. Lots of people not seeing them now

[pallid coral]

oh is it?

[wispy frost]

Oooo wonder if that’s a sign ?!?!?

[tight glen]

Ngl I think I’ll sign up for the other EA playtests as well

[bitter rover]

lol

[tight glen]

Surely

[tepid yoke]

There is No Playtest available

[opal beacon]

still 53k people in front of me

[tight glen]

That’s a scam btw don’t

[potent tulip]

I didn’t see a survey either.

[wispy frost]

lol just weeding them out b4 they even get in lmao lmao

[leaden trout]

that means u r sign in

do u see this https://puu.sh/KnFwd/e8492661b5.jpg

[wispy frost]

Then u weren’t selected lmao jk jk

[wraith breach]

All it said was "thank you for registering" and "join our discord" so i did

[wispy frost]

Crazy cuz I was promoted to the survey… everyone’s getting something different …

[wraith breach]

Waited in that line for 2 days lol

[naive vigil]

They might ask to skype chat with you when you play certain games.

Just a heads up.

[potent tulip]

I did see this and I did select it.

[unborn summit]

is some of or all of the pre alpha gameplay footage mirrored?

[ebon siren]

i was like number 270,342 yesterday when i got in que. I checked it again when I was at work this morning and BOOM it was my turn in line i was like YESSS!

[tight glen]

Ofc ofc.

[wispy frost]

Same

[leaden trout]

well u r singed in just wait for email

[wispy frost]

I’ll FaceTime someone to play test this lol

[ebon siren]

lol

[pallid coral]

Vince calling me rn brb

[wispy frost]

Key was to leave the page open all night and day in the queue

[leaden trout]

@potent tulip if they send u email you will see a playtest battlefield in that section

[twilit coyote]

guys, i did it.

[ebon siren]

After I got to the completion of the survey. You gave me a notification saying Even if your device goes to sleep or you turn it off, you will still keep your place in line.

[wraith breach]

I waited in line. They owe me game time

[leaden trout]

@twilit coyote Congrats

[twilit coyote]

[wispy frost]

Same

[ebon siren]

thx man i wish you luck also I'm pretty sure.
I haven't been selected yet. But hopefully, I'll get a fair chance. Cause I completed everything.

[bitter rover]

Idk broski there should be a battlefield one showing up. But if you already filled it out it won’t show up after that

[wispy frost]

However I opened like 4-6 pages of it just incase lol

[naive vigil]

I just wonder what the tacked on mode is going to be this time.

[leaden trout]

@wispy frost you are still on queue

[naive vigil]

We know it will have campaign and multiplayer.

[wispy frost]

lol oh yea

[leaden trout]

how many before you

[wispy frost]

I already registered and did the survey

[leaden trout]

@wispy frost ah okey, me too, NICE

[wraith breach]

Ah, it says invites will be sent via email.

[wispy frost]

But I had opened like 6 separate queue pages in my web browser last night just to make sure I didn’t fuck one of them up lol

[wispy frost]

Yea not sure when tho …..

[pallid coral]

probably in a week or two

[wispy frost]

Or how soon

[bitter rover]

Guessing max 3 weeks

[naive vigil]

Maybe a wave survival mode.

[pallid coral]

yeah

[wispy frost]

I’d hope they would announce when emails will be sent out

[leaden trout]

Ah i see, well its ok now if you did survey, now only email

[pallid coral]

3 weeks for invites and 2 weeks after that for the first playtest is my best take

[wraith breach]

I never did a survey tho

[ebon siren]

just checked my place says "there are 59599 ahead of you in line."

[pallid coral]

then do it 😭
