Forgot the name.

It's on steam but looks promising of a bit of a jack of all trades and master of none

[coarse oracle]

[slim tendon]

Sounds familiar

I'll look it up.

I loveee td games

[vital nymph]

HI,How do I connect my EA app to Battlefield Lab? There is no link to Battlefield Lab in my EA App account and there is no link to the EA APP in my Battlefield Lab connect ?

[uneven yacht]

Do a search for battlefield labs in the EA App and it should come up. You gotta then download it.

Does anyone know how we're giving EA/Dice feedback?

[vital nymph]

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. I haven't qualified for the Battlefield Lab test yet. I just searched the EA website and saw that Battlefield Lab and EA APP platform need to be linked to each other in order to have a chance to get the test qualification.

[dim vortex]

I believe you might be too late

[patent bramble]

Does anyone know how to remove HOLD L3 for sprint ?

I just wanna press 1 time L3 and sprint

[vital nymph]

Well, I registered for Battlefield Lab a long time ago, but I didn't know I had to link the platform, so I thought I could just register with the same email address. Until all my friends around me got the game test qualification, I was still waiting >"<

[dim vortex]

Well then it might depend on the type of email you got and what you did from there

[violet jay]

Is anyone playing 2042 having problems starting the game? Since earlier today when I try to open the game a small message appears above the game launcher saying "Javelin has found an error, restart your PC". I've done everything... I restarted, reinstalled Javelin and even updated and again I'm having this problem

[pine plinth]

Must take forever to get accepted to play this weekend...

[vernal ruin]

Yeah I think it's closed, windows is up.

RIP

[glass harness]

This is the battlefield that should have been the successor to BF4.

[ivory bronze]

I am not able to see Battlefield Labs when searching in the EA App currently.

[vernal ruin]

For me it was, got a code for PS5

You just gotta wait, for me it was 15 mins before it officially started

[ivory bronze]

Ok perfect. Was that enough time to download and install on a decent connection?

I am on a tight time frame tomorrow.

[vernal ruin]

Let's just ignore Hardline...

[vernal ruin]

I don't know if we're allowed to talk about the weight of the game, but if you have Gigabit internet, for me it downloaded in about 30 minutes

[ivory bronze]

Ok cool, I should be good then. Thanks for clarifying!

[vernal ruin]

No problem at all, good luck

[wheat sable]

I downloaded the playtest, but everytime I open it, it closes and brings me back to the EA app

3gb internet, rtx 4090 and ryzen 9 9950x3d, 32gb ram, Idn what the issue is, should I try a reload of the operating system?

[glass harness]

The Dmr's in the game tho, chefs kiss.

[wheat sable]

No

[vernal ruin]

I figured

Remember what you were told y'all

[tardy estuary]

Is there a support forum for labs? cause im getting that classic battlefield bug where you can never stop shooting even if the keys are unbound.

[wheat sable]

I can’t even get in

Tried repairing the files and resetting, nothin’s working

[vernal ruin]

Look in the email, there's an address you can contact for help

[vernal crest]

Holy cow I'm sitting at about ten minutes loading into a game! Is nobody play testing what's happening here!

I'm sensing bf3 vibes where you sit forever and the moment the game loads the round is over! 😅

[vernal ruin]

Man no idea, at most it would take maximum of a minute for me

[vernal crest]

Guess I better back out I thought it was just a matchmaking limitation or something or just forever queue like overwatch lol.

[quaint ember]

Same things happening to me. I dont know if anyone’s figured it out tbh

[fathom yacht]

yo

[wheat sable]

Doesn’t give me a error code or anything and I have well above recommended specs

[fathom yacht]

so ive got a bf labs playtest coming up in the morning. how do i get in the discord? where do i download the game?

[vernal crest]

Ok alt f4 and went back in and instantly got a match lol. Eh it happens I guess.

[fathom yacht]

i say in the morning, about 5 ot 6 hours from now

[quaint ember]

ive kinda just lost hope at this point. been trying everything i can think of for the last 4 hours

[fathom yacht]

am i going to get an email with the details? because ive had nothing yet other than the rsvp email. nothing new shows on my EA account, cant download the game

[wheat sable]

I was looking forward to this all day at work when I looked at my email, this is cucked lol

[wheat sable]

If you didn’t get the “you’re invited” email, you’re shit outta luck

[fathom yacht]

@wheat sable i did, ive rspv'd

[wheat sable]

Then read the email

[fathom yacht]

there is nothing in there about the discord, where the download, or anything. just the button to rsvp

and some other stuff

[vernal ruin]

You will get a code for the download

[wheat sable]

Idn what kind of email you got then cause mine came with detailed instructions on how to download, what’s aloud and not aloud.

[fathom yacht]

ahh ok thanks

[vernal ruin]

About 15 mins prior to start

And yeah the email with the RSVP should be telling you rn everything you need to know

[fathom yacht]

yeah mine has some details but nothing about downloading or discord for feedback. is it against the nda to paste a screenshot of the mail?

[vernal ruin]

So that feedback/Discord email ain't arriving

[vernal ruin]

And yes it is

[short kelp]

Yes. Technically even mentioning you were selected goes against NDA

[vernal ruin]

Eh... Just don't discuss TOO MUCH

Like the game itself

I believe

[cursive spear]

i want play BF lab!

[vernal ruin]

All outta luck

[short kelp]

Yeah I don’t think they enforce that so much considering so many are having trouble

[vernal ruin]

Yeah so... Just don't be stupid and go around leaking everything

[cursive spear]

Today is the last day, right?

[vernal ruin]

It is confidential

[cursive spear]

🤷‍♂️

[vernal ruin]

Nope wait

I don't think I can even tell you

💔

[fathom yacht]

ok well it says nothing other than i was invited, an rsvp button, and a table containing platform, start and end times etc, details like that, then a thank you note followed by the footer which is just ea tos stuff. nothing else

[vernal ruin]

BROTHER YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SHARE THE CONTENTS

[fathom yacht]

generic email footer stuff

i didnt

[vernal ruin]

Tell that to the staff I guess

[fathom yacht]

i didnt share the contents, i decribed something ive seen

have you had an invite @vernal ruin?

[vernal ruin]

I have tested the game.

And I don't believe we are even allowed to talk much

[short kelp]

Yes, you described the contents of the email. You may not have said exactly what the email says but you stated a general idea of what it contains. That’s against NDA

[vernal ruin]

So please don't get yourself banned

[fathom yacht]

ok, so above youve just described what was in the email as much as i did

[vernal ruin]

What you said

[vernal ruin]

I didn't

[fathom yacht]

you literally just told me what i should see in the email

[vernal ruin]

I've only said I have playtested

But I have not revealed anything explicitly, barely even implicitly

[short kelp]

@fathom yacht I suggest you read this for help https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/1375428094361468991

[fathom yacht]

and i havnt explicitly revealed anything more lol. this is a bit silly

[vernal ruin]

I ain't even bothering arguing at this point

I will not risk a ban

[tidal shuttle]

Where’s my invite dice

F

[vernal ruin]

Welp, like the post said, you can't discuss what's under the NDA so...

[fathom yacht]

you said it should tell me everything i need to know. and what i wanted to know was about the discord server and where to download. that was my initial question. then you told me that i should expect an email 15 mins before the test with what contents that email holds. so

[short kelp]

As someone who sets up confidential playtests for a game and distributes NDAs, I’d really just suggest you read the channel I linked and not continue this discussion. Otherwise you risk having potential access to this weekend revoked

[quaint ember]

Yea ik. I waited all day bc i was at work and now i come home and deal with this bs

[fathom yacht]

i mean, neither of is explicity said anything

[vernal ruin]

Please follow what he said

[spark pewter]

Help.... I got in playtest. But have no code yet??

[fathom yacht]

im not trying to argue. but you revealed the contents of the emails just as much as i did.

[short kelp]

https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/1375428094361468991

This should help

[fathom yacht]

not argueing about what is and isnt part of the nda or what is and isnt ok

[spark pewter]

Thanks

[fathom yacht]

what about people that get the invite and dont rsvp? are they under nda too?

just from receiving an email? automatic nda?

[strange geyser]

Hey does anyone know if I missed the rsvp for this playtest can I still be invited to later playtests?

[lean hill]

Could I ask for some questions about downloading the Battlefield lab? I met some question about downloading it on steam.

[fathom yacht]

@golden sparrow thank you

@acoustic oriole Same here, i guess what Jason just said is why

does that include the details to join the discord aswell is what im wondering

[short kelp]

Per EA, “All those invited to join Battlefield Labs will need to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) as they will not be permitted to talk about, or show, anything related to their experience with Battlefield Labs.”

[strange geyser]

Does anyone know if you missed the RSVP if you can still be invited for later playtests? Worried I missed my only chance

[short kelp]

If you missed your RSVP, I’m sure there will be other opportunities you can apply to later on

[fathom yacht]

"need to sign" i asked what about the people that got invited but didn't accept and they share the contents of the email. Understand? Its a random email send out to people publicly

[golden sparrow]

what i heard was if you play the playtest once, whenever the servers go live for future ones youll be able to play again

[fathom yacht]

or what if i share the contents before i RSVP?

[vernal ruin]

"All those invited"

[fathom yacht]

see what i mean? receiving the email != automatic NDA

....

and?

[short kelp]

Were you invited?

[fathom yacht]

"they need to sign an nda"

yes

[vernal ruin]

I firmly believe you should get your access revoked if you keep going down this line

[fathom yacht]

dude what? sending someone an email doesnt give you the right to say "dont share this email you are now under nda"

[vernal ruin]

It does...

[fathom yacht]

what planet do you live on?

[summer forge]

Y’all missing out. The Discord actually posted the NDA and basically told everyone to shut the actual f#k up about labs 😂😂🤣🤣

[vernal ruin]

It is EA's games, EA's terms

[fathom yacht]

yes, and if i dont SIGN THE NDA

then i can SHARE THE EMAIL

[vernal ruin]

You're not allowed to play if you do, genius

[fathom yacht]

i didnt say otherwise

genius

[warped vector]

Hey I've been granted access to battlefield labs today but it's completely unplayable for me. My inputs don't work properly, anyone else experiencing this?

[livid bay]

You… have to sign up to the ea testing program to get the email

Iirc the nda isn’t a part of the email itself. It’s in the whole sign up process

[vernal ruin]

Hey uh heads up you should delete that

[vernal ruin]

This here

[summer forge]

He won’t

[vernal ruin]

Sadness

[summer forge]

.

[vernal ruin]

Yeah maybe we should all follow suit...

[summer forge]

It’s over in #general

[livid bay]

About sliding. I hope they allow you to bind sliding and crouching to different buttons. It’s what I do in insurgency and it feels so much better

[summer forge]

They straight up posted the NDA and said knock it off 😂😂

[vernal ruin]

Yeah look here y'all, if I recall correctly this a server for Battlefield overall

Keep your lips shut about Labs

[summer forge]

Don’t worry, they can’t read, so won’t matter

[spark pewter]

I don't know nothing

[fathom yacht]

well either way, theres no fear of being banned from something i dont have access to.....if finding out how to get access when there was literally no information on how access will be given is breaking nda, then well

[vernal ruin]

About what? I don't know nothing about nothing

🤫

[spark pewter]

Nothing bout nothing

[livid bay]

Fair. The email should have all the info though. And if you didn’t get the email then you simply aren’t in

And the nda doesn’t apply

[fathom yacht]

i wasnt aware theres a second email. all i got was the invite, no details in that email, no mention of a second email

now im aware

[livid bay]

Damn. Rip

[vernal ruin]

What they talk 'bout? They ain't talking 'bout nothin...

[summer forge]

Ain’t seen shit for nothin

[fathom yacht]

but my main point above was that by making me aware, was to describe the contents of an email that person had received, under NDA. which is what i was being called out for in the first place

[vernal ruin]

Nuh uh sir, matter of fact I'm blind

[short kelp]

Bro you are responsible for yourself, just as much as everyone else is responsible for themselves. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Saying “well he said the same thing as me” is not the “gotcha” you think it is. When we told you “hey, this isn’t something you should be saying” you should really take that as “hmmm, maybe I should shut up.” But no, you doubled down and kept going on

[fathom yacht]

Bro, i did take it on board, i even asked if what im doing is breaking the NDA, the guy said yes and then went on to reveal the contents of the follow up email i should be getting. I didnt double down on anything.

i called him out for calling me out and then doing the exact same thing. thats all

i mean, what did i double down on exactly?

[agile finch]

anyone got a BF1 server going?

all i see is japan

[short kelp]

Perhaps doubling down was the wrong choice of words. What I really meant was that you kept the conversation going which led to a back and forth.

Here’s the bottom line; you agree to the NDA when you sign up for BFL, and all of the contents contained in invite/RSVP emails after the fact are under that NDA. So at this point, it’s in everyone’s best interests to leave this conversation at that. I can see where you’re coming from as far as “well why am I being called out on something by someone who did the same thing,” but at this point it’s just irrelevant

[fathom yacht]

i agree, the whole conversation was irrelavant after like 3 or 4 messages

thats the problem with the internet, you come on for a little bit of info and you end up with someone playing the part of helping but at the same time pointing out what you did wrong while contradicting themselves.

could have just gone silent and let me be responsible for me, like you said

@Jason was the hero with his response here

[desert hinge]

Does anyone want to play battlefield 5

[vernal ruin]

I have to agree I was wrong in revealing, even if not in its entirety, part of the mail

[vernal ruin]

Bro 1 is so much better

I got like 400 hours on it

4 bucks for Revolution

Play that instead, so peak

[desert hinge]

I have it i just don't want to download it:(

My wifi is slow

[odd orchid]

the new bf is the best

[vernal ruin]

Holon am I the only one who does not have the Veteran tag on multiple titles? I got all 4 thru 2042 (All bought) except Hardline and I stiiiiill don't have the Veteran tag

[vernal ruin]

If you do download it feel free to add me dawg

[fathom yacht]

i wish bf3 was still playable:(

i mean, it is, but that jank recoil and punk buster kicking me out every 5 minutes:(

[desert hinge]

It might be tomorrow if that's okay again my wifi is pretty slow but I won't be busy

[fathom yacht]

bf3 > 4, 5, 2042 combined. come at me

[vernal ruin]

No worries

[vernal ruin]

You did good not including 1

1 is a masterpiece on a whole different level

Just because of the sound design alone

So immersive

[fathom yacht]

i didnt plat 1 so i cant have an opinion

[vernal ruin]

Like no other game in the franchise

[vernal ruin]

Valid, if you catch it on sale, it's definitely worth it

[broken ridge]

hope they let every class use assault rifles, this will balance the game

[fathom yacht]

other than a couple of hours on ea game pass or whatever its called back when i had an xbox

but i could see it was good. i was playing it on console though while im a pc player

[vernal ruin]

Battlefield 1 and 4 are the best in the franchise, fight me (Didn't play 3)

[fathom yacht]

3 > 4

by far

[vernal ruin]

USAS...

[fathom yacht]

4 is all plasticy feeling and light weight if you know what i mean

[vernal ruin]

Like, the movement?

If that's what you mean I kinda get it

[fathom yacht]

movement, vehicles, how the weapons kick, sway, recoil etc

[vernal ruin]

If not... I still kinda get it

[short kelp]

Yeah I have to agree that 3 was better than 4. Don’t get me wrong, 4 is beautiful and has its perks. But 3 just feels so much better

[desert hinge]

A whole 8 hours till I can play battlefield 1 holy

[vernal ruin]

No opinion because I didn't play 3 but

[short kelp]

Bad Company 2 is still the best imo though

[vernal ruin]

For me 4 is minimum top 3

[fathom yacht]

bf4 wasnt necessarily faster paced, but it had faster acelleration, zero inertia on everything. everything felt full of helium

[vernal ruin]

MP7 go brrrr

[fathom yacht]

oh yeah bc2...i think bf3 tops it...but its close

[vernal ruin]

And 1 is so... If there weren't a lot of level 150s constantly spoiling my fun it'd be like the best according to me

Oh yeah

[fathom yacht]

bf3 tops it in variety imo, and the ability to strafe sprint lol

[vernal ruin]

And if the SMG 08/18

DID NOT EXIST

[short kelp]

If BF4 is on helium, then 2042 is on hydrogen with a mix of steroids and meth lol

[vernal ruin]

I personally felt 2042 too arcade-y

[fathom yacht]

yeah 2042 feels like bf4 but even more light weight

[vernal ruin]

Only spent like 20-30 hours on it

On the other hand I have about 100 on 4

[desert hinge]

It does look fun though

[fathom yacht]

the choppers in bf3, you felt like you were throwing a heavy peice of machinery around in the air, bf4 lost that

[vernal ruin]

And in 5 which I eventually uninstalled because it was too damn sweaty, about 50

[short kelp]

Don’t get me wrong, I love 2042 as a game. On its own (outside of the franchise) I think it’d be perfect in its own right. But as a BF game, I just don’t see it falling in line with the franchise

[vernal ruin]

Yeah, too fast paced + operators DO NOT have a place in Battlefield

But if it was um...

I don't know

Just

2042

It could be pretty good

[desert hinge]

I'm not a battlefield veteran like some of y'all I probably have a total 150 hours of battlefield in general so probably don't listen to my opinion

[vernal ruin]

As stand alone, like you said

[fathom yacht]

one thing that doesnt have a place in bf.....is those silly wing suits and grappling hooks...omg

[glass harness]

I have over 300 hours on BF4. I ate slept and breathed that game for far too long lol.

[fathom yacht]

i dunno what they were thinking. they have to have been trying to change the whole identity of the game with 2042

[vernal ruin]

Yeah kinda same for me, I have total of at least 500 hours total but I have like 600 on Siege

[fathom yacht]

it came across as like a mobile game that needed a high end pc to run

[vernal ruin]

I remember getting 120 or so kills with the MTAR-21 in Locker

[short kelp]

I mean, they were trying to go for a more futuristic approach. But some elements seemed a bit out of touch

[vernal ruin]

Locker is so much sweatier compared to Metro for some reason

[fathom yacht]

ive played since 1942. the only one i havnt played really, other than a couple of hours on xbox, is bf1

[desert hinge]

I was a call of duty kid and now I'm trying to expand

[vernal ruin]

Operators...

[fathom yacht]

i even played bf modern combat on the xbox 360

[vernal ruin]

Battlefield is a step in the right direction considering modern CODs

[glass harness]

@vernal ruin yep silenced Mtar was top tier on locker for nasty flanks

[desert hinge]

Yeah I really like playing the healing guy it's super fun

[vernal ruin]

I personally like the mere fact you're not some elite forces hero with a concerning amount of ludonarrative dissonance, you're a soldier, you're expendable

[vernal ruin]

I personally run compensator on it, but hell yeah, if you sneak up on RU spawn with at least 2 squads for backup you're set

[fathom yacht]

i have to say from what ive seen from the gameplay leaks....im not impressed. sound wise and atmosphere, it seems like battlefield...but there is something off

[vernal ruin]

Always thought Locker was slightly ever so US biased

Because it's harder to hold US Spawn

Meanwhile RU spawn is SO EASY to hold

[fathom yacht]

it still looks light weight, it looks like 2042 with a reskin to me

[glass harness]

Have to turn on War Tapes bro

[vernal ruin]

Quite the amount of Locker matches I've played took their entirety in RU spawn lmao

[fathom yacht]

it has war tapes?

i loved that in bc2

[glass harness]

The good old days 😂

[glass harness]

Yep

[vernal ruin]

Just remember not to hop on Brazilian servers... I don't understand how they're so... Damn sweaty

[fathom yacht]

oh

[vernal ruin]

Beyond my comprehension

[fathom yacht]

@glass harness i have to say, operation locker destroyed battlefield XD

actually, it was metro

[vernal ruin]

What is this blasphemy

[fathom yacht]

that choke point nade spam revive fest

[glass harness]

I play late so I start getting rolled by the Asians lol

[fathom yacht]

metro had some charm though, started and ended indoors

[vernal ruin]

Locker is... Kinda balanced

And Metro is DEFINITELY balanced

If you forget about US spawn

Most of the match will likely take place in B point

I like playing Metro hardcore

[fathom yacht]

locker is horrible imo. its just spam spam spam. and ever since that became THE map everyone played, you see that horrible spammy chokepoint gameplay in ever map

[vernal ruin]

It's quite... An experience

Ngl something I love about most Battlefields is actually weapon separation per class

[fathom yacht]

i love that too

assigns a clear role, but if you want, you can all be the same class

[vernal ruin]

You gotta sacrifice either kills or utility

Though assault is pretty much the best class in BF4, the rest are... Pretty balanced

[fathom yacht]

bc2 had the class system perfect i think

[glass harness]

In the new battlefield every class can use whatever weapons. The only thing locked to a class is their actual role items

[fathom yacht]

recon didnt necessarily mean sniper

it meant "recon"

[vernal ruin]

I did like they sprinkled in the carbines, DMRs and shotguns for all classes so it's actually a bit balanced... They just overdid with the MTAR

[vernal ruin]

Ughhhhh

[fathom yacht]

you could rush in with a gillie suit and a shotgun......but you had the abilities of the recon class to help

[glass harness]

Yep loved my DMR's. I want enough fast single shots to reek havoc lol

[vernal ruin]

Hopefully the actual feedback playtesters have told em to reverse that

Also remember y'all we ain't know NOTHING bout labs

[fathom yacht]

recon abilities assisted with short range gun play...which ironically, are useful whether youre a sniper or a close combat shotty user

[rich river]

if they actually let the actual battlefield players in theyd get some

[fathom yacht]

the DMRs in bf4 though?

first shot rng?

ewww

[vernal ruin]

There's this one medic rifle in BF1... I don't remember, but it's so SATISFYING to play

Oh yeah the Autoloading 8

It's really damn satisfying spamming that trigger

[ripe arch]

gosh i'm so tired of these leaks, I just wanna see the trailer already

[fathom yacht]

@rich river theyre gonna get some feedback from me....doubt theyll listen though

[vernal ruin]

Weeee wait

[rich river]

but imagine if it were you AND me

[ripe arch]

Neyhhhhh!!

[vernal ruin]

We are FORCED to

But yeah

[fathom yacht]

first thing im gonna be checking is movement, weightyness, first shot accuray, how the shooting works/deviation/deviation over time

[vernal ruin]

Give us trailer already EA 💔

[stray kayak]

I doubt it, I've seen barely any mentions of it with most of the few mentions saying it isn't a problem.

The biggest and most common concerns are generally about Assault gadgets and perks

[glass harness]

First thing I'm doing is turning of motion blur and all them other BS stats that no gamers like. Film grain etc lol

[vernal ruin]

I swear if everyone is just running around with whatever weapon is the most broken the game will lose traction SO FAST

[fathom yacht]

the very first thing i will do, is adad jiggle and ill be able to tell you if this is battlefield or not

[vernal ruin]

Imagine if in BF4 all classes could use AEK

It'd be such a nightmare

[rich river]

ace23 is better than the aek

[vernal ruin]

There'd be no variety

[stray kayak]

DICE need to use server side patches to implement faster stat adjustments. GG ez

[fathom yacht]

yeah the aek is pretty nasty

with the right attachments

[vernal ruin]

True

[ripe arch]

Yall still tilted at all class all weapons?

[vernal ruin]

Most balanced gun imo

[rich river]

pre nerfed ace 23

i miss

[fathom yacht]

im optimistic with all class weapons......but

[glass harness]

If they would let me in the discussion I would ask them to make weapons class specific.

[stray kayak]

I do not care about what my opponent uses. I only care if I can kill them, and there is always a way to kill them.

[vernal ruin]

Yes

[fathom yacht]

i mean, maybe not. i think it should be a wider choice than older class based games, but still limited per class

[ripe arch]

Me too, I honestly don't give a shit anymore, half of the time I don't know what I got killed by or what weapon they used

[fathom yacht]

for example recon shouldnt be able to run around with an m4

[vernal ruin]

You either try to help your team with not as good weapons

Or you use cheesy weapons and have no support at all

It's a balance

A good balance

[fathom yacht]

yeah

[vernal ruin]

It's why 2042 felt so arcade

[ripe arch]

I wanna main support but I don't wanna get tied down to LMG

[uneven yacht]

how are we providing feedback for/from the playtest?

[stray kayak]

at least they are near the frontlines and being productive

[fathom yacht]

it takes away from the tacticality to apease the adhd "i cant choose what i wanna be" guys

[uneven yacht]

anybody know?

[vernal ruin]

May I present to you the Parabellum MG 14/17

[stray kayak]

I will be tweaking if I'm stuck with LMGs

[vernal ruin]

Basically an AR with a hundred round magazine

And the highest rpm for its class if I recall

[glass harness]

Running around with a tip tier DMR as an engineer built to tank bust is god mode lol. You are literally ready to take over the long range and short range battle lol

[vernal ruin]

Ehem

[fathom yacht]

yeah but recon should have that clear role, theyre going in for info with some short ranged close combat weapons.......or holding back and getting info from long range. they shouldnt be viable at any range

[vernal ruin]

I must say though like BF4, there should be a few weapons sprinkled in that are not class specific

Like the carbines

[fathom yacht]

the class has the purpose...giving them any weapon kind of breaks that

[vernal ruin]

MTAR... Mnghh...

[rich river]

my friends who have never even touched a battlefield have gotten into labs. please. how do i fastrack

[vernal ruin]

So we're hopeless

[rich river]

been 3 months since i signed up

[stray kayak]

A lot of people choose weapons in games in a modern setting based on what they like irl, which is perfectly valid. It's important to make the most common of the ones people like available at all times

[fathom yacht]

if the game only was to have squad leader spawn and not "spawn on anyone" then i think it might be ok

[rich river]

im actually extremely pressed about it

i have like nearly 5k hours on the titles and my friends who have literally 0 are in

RAAAAA

[vernal ruin]

I actually am kinda a Battlefield Veteran... But not in the degree of some people who genuinely are

My first was Bad Company 2

[rich river]

mine too

[vernal ruin]

But I barely remember it

[rich river]

on ps3

[vernal ruin]

I was a CHILD

Same

[rich river]

i was like 8 or 9 lmao

[fathom yacht]

they said just test it. im willing to test it, but i aint expecting it to be good....and it really doesnt seem like something they will back down on given how modern games are all about "do whatever you want when you want"

[vernal ruin]

So I think my feedback would do slightly good? But of course people who've actually played much more Battlefield should like have priority access

We shouldn't just appeal to newcomers

[rich river]

i wish it were this case

[stray kayak]

The positivity of testers far outweighs the negativity.

[fathom yacht]

yeah thats good

[rich river]

like pls look at my hours and apply it to my odds of getting in across all my connected accounts 🙏

i beg

[fathom yacht]

but for how long? noones tested this yet have they?

[glass harness]

Same I sat in a sign up que for like 7 hours months ago lol

[vernal ruin]

Yes like, you should be able to say "I got 300+ hours in Battlefield" in the survey

And they should check it obv

[fathom yacht]

i really think how much they listen is gonna dampen down quite soon

[stray kayak]

this is like the 6th test, each with positive sentiments

[stuck anvil]

РебяHt

[vernal ruin]

And I didn't get invited for that one 💔

[rich river]

and i havent been let into a single one

RAAAA

[fathom yacht]

yeah but the new every weapon per class? hasnt been tested yet has it?

[vernal ruin]

Hopefully the next one

[rich river]

prejudice against us gamers

gamers oppressed fr

[vernal ruin]

It will appear in your EA app

[stray kayak]

It's been the exact same every time

[vernal ruin]

Fr like I get it COD players will be flocking in but give us something we've actually wanted 💔

Not here...

[novel tangle]

Figured which is why I asked where

Is there a place for it at all

[vernal ruin]

I think not

Yes, it will appear on your EA app when the day comes

[fathom yacht]

when every class can all use the same weapons, you just end up with everyone running meta weapons. even though theyre playing a class role....to themselves the game is varied based on the class, but to everyone else, every enemy i the exact same thing and becomes stale

[vernal ruin]

My thoughts exactly, people will prioritize kills over actually being useful to the team

[stray kayak]

Don't concern yourself with what other people use, as you can do perfectly fine with whatever gun you want.

[vernal ruin]

Strange... I don't really know, I'm in GMT+1

[fathom yacht]

yeah, its why cod is so stale now,...among other reasons lol

[vernal ruin]

YOU KNOW WHAT'D BE COOL??? IF WE GOT SERVER LIST BACK

I DON'T WANT TO RELY ON MATCHMAKING

[stray kayak]

I'm happy I will be able to revive and heal, and not have to use the kd sweatfest class or any other class to get to use my fav guns 🥱

[fathom yacht]

when you have 4 clear distinct roles you can at least split that meta by 4

[vernal ruin]

If I find a good server I want to be able to return to it

[fathom yacht]

oh yes, we need server list and rented servers

i hate how matchmaking works in bf...its not a game that should have it...especially how is disbands so often

[vernal ruin]

I honestly think SBMM has no place in Battlefield

There's 64 players

[fathom yacht]

i miss the days of finding a server with like minded people

[vernal ruin]

You can't ensure everyone's on equal ground

Let it be random

[stuck anvil]

8 am это по CEST ?

[fathom yacht]

i think sbmm is already a big thing in 2042...even though they say its not

[vernal ruin]

Sometimes people dominate, sometimes it's an even server

[stray kayak]

Over the life of the franchise Medic has had access to ARs, Shotguns, Carbines, SMGs, DMRs, LMGs, and even Bolt Actions. Clearly weapon types ain't that intrinsic to a class role. (not including 2042)

[vernal ruin]

What time is it for you? It should be open to you already I believe

[fathom yacht]

but they never had access to all of them at once

well, other than 2042

[stray kayak]

But the gameplay relating to the class role has remained the same.

[stuck anvil]

мое время в данный момент 9 часов am

[fathom yacht]

what im trying to make a point of, is splitting the meta via class so everyones not running the same setup

it makes gameplay varied

[vernal ruin]

Yeaahhh, but I think it should be a combo between BF1 and 4, as in 2-3 weapon classes for all classes, and then one exclusive to the respective class... That's just the BF4 way nevermins

Nevermind, gruh

[fathom yacht]

doesnt matter if you give medics snipers and recon health kits....as long as they dont both get both

[vernal ruin]

Then contact who you were told in the mail

That is not supposed to happen

I believe

[fathom yacht]

which one was it where support had health kits?

[stray kayak]

Most guns all compete at the ranges of like 15-40m. It's a placebo effect, it's never been that varied.

[fathom yacht]

bc2?

orr err

ammo

support had ammo

[vernal ruin]

2042 I think

And... 5 I think too

[fathom yacht]

then they moved it to asault having it, or something along those lines

[vernal ruin]

I don't play 5 anymore so excuse me if I messed up

[fathom yacht]

nah im thinking the early games, a role of resupply was changed

or assault got med packs to drop or something

i cant remember

but it worked

[stray kayak]

I like the idea of slightly lowering attachment points, or taxing specific types of attachments, or flat out locking specific attachments depending on your class.

[fathom yacht]

because they switched the role, rather than giving both, well, both

[stray kayak]

Sure you can use a Bolt Action as Support, but it will be like BFV where 4x is like the highest zoom level

[vernal ruin]

I think Battlefield shouldn't be an absolute sweatfest, as in, don't give the most broken class to support because they can just infinitely resupply themselves, there's a reason it's 64 players, it should be teamwork, not everyone just going on a murderous rampage on their own, it's warfare, not TDM

[vernal ruin]

That's actually well thought

[desert hinge]

@vernal ruin You said to add you what is your account name for battlefield 1 tomorrow also check your discord dms

[fathom yacht]

im not against say, assault having sniper rifles....but they should only get short range scopes

[vernal ruin]

TheRequiemSinger on PSN

[fathom yacht]

the role is assault

i used to play sniper like assault back in bf3 XD. red dot on my sniper, playing agressive and flicking to those heads

[stray kayak]

If someone likes the RPK irl, they will probably want to use it in game. Not support? Well maybe you gotta pay extra for that bipod and big mag, or maybe you can't have them at all. Adds depth while keeping restrictions low.

[fathom yacht]

i snipe better in any bf game with a close range scope tbh

[vernal ruin]

I must say that is pretty good in concept, execution would have to be pretty careful though

[fathom yacht]

the sniping in 2042 is silly though, its almost hit scan

[stray kayak]

Exactly, it keeps options open while still having some coercion into playing a specific way.

[fathom yacht]

i actually felt like i had more option back in bf3 than say 2042

even though the options were more limited

because you didnt have a load of redundancy

[stray kayak]

They will probably have to tweak the economy during its life anyway, I don't expect much balance at launch

[vernal ruin]

To be honest something I did like from BF5 is the fact you can use a sniper rifle on the medic class, because in maps like... I don't remember its name but it was part of the Pacific update, there are loooong fields with no cover, so it's perfect for sniping, and it's not best the entire team runs recon son...

[stray kayak]

the real reason is because BF2042 has almost no content

[vernal crest]

Man I don't know how much it's coincidence but mid game with everyone converging on one point my damn living room breaker tripped! 😅 Once I figured out it was that and not my power just going out I restarted everything and my adrenaline install was borked! This couldn't POSSIBLY be a game THAT out of whack could it?? lol

[fathom yacht]

i mean, it has plenty of option....but everything is just samey

just mostly visually different

[vernal ruin]

You gotta give it to 2042 because for one particular weapon, customization was GOOD

I don't remember its exact name

[stray kayak]

People complain about it in 2042, but it's not the bolt actions that are the problem, it's the scopes. Sure a BFV Medic could camp, but not particularly far away. Combine the lower zoom with their lack of skill and it's far more manageable

[fathom yacht]

im not someone who craves content, you dont need a million maps and weapons to have "options"

[vernal ruin]

It was a VSS/AS Val

But you could use it as a DMR

An AR

Or an SMG if you wanna

[fathom yacht]

you just need well balanced gameplay and enough combinations that work differently to experiment with but not be overwhelming

[vernal ruin]

You just had to tweak a few attachments

And a gun could be what you wanted

[tawdry iris]

'just'

[fathom yacht]

the plus system in 2042...what were they even thinking?

[vernal ruin]

I mean, that and changing the fire mode

[stray kayak]

Mmmmmmm I loved the VSS in 2042. It felt rather satisfying compared to the launch guns

[fathom yacht]

its penned as something that increases choice

[vernal ruin]

But going from 200, to 450, to 900 RPM with a few attachments is no joke

[fathom yacht]

but it actually decreases "choosing"

[stray kayak]

That AR LMG in 2042 is really really cool too, so fun to use

[fathom yacht]

whats the point in thinking when you can just have so many things and change your mind whenever you want?

[vernal ruin]

Pretty damn broken too

[stray kayak]

Yeah it's gone forever for a damn good reason. DICE aren't bringing back a single thing from 2042 except the unlocked guns for a reason

[fathom yacht]

the plus system should have just been the option to add or remove a surpresser, or switch between a short and close range scope (canted iron sight style)

i would draw the line at those. completely regrearing your gun on the battlefield....adhd joke

[vernal ruin]

You're welcome

[fathom yacht]

is that an hour in CEST?

[stray kayak]

There's really popular community servers in Arma Reforger that have a slightly more indepth version of the Plus system. It works with that game being much much slower, but it has no place in BF

[fathom yacht]

im from uk, i dunno how it translates, but im in todays test

i aint staying up another hour lol......it will have to wait

discord. still waiting on the email for this info

theres supposedly a dedicated discord server for testers

[stray kayak]

They have stated they are not accepting user reports for this specific test. All data will be collected passively

[fathom yacht]

ohhh

so now is when they stop actually listening

how can they listen now?

[stray kayak]

it was a server stress test, they were clear on that

[limber heart]

Yeah

[fathom yacht]

but surely thats what they can do passively

thats exactly what you would do passively lol

you dont need feedback for that

[limber heart]

I’m sure they’re watching everyone

Well not everyone

[fathom yacht]

and they clearly took on board a lot of gameplay feedback

[limber heart]

But you get the gyst

And I bet devs are playing to see the issues

[stray kayak]

From what I understand, and this is hearing from a person from a person info at this point, but testers for this one are not invited to the discord and they are not automatically given access to future tests. (My guess is Labs will be changing soontm)

[fathom yacht]

but now noone can give gameplay feedback? but the server testing has ended

[limber heart]

Bruh

[stray kayak]

it was a server stress test, for stress testing the servers

[copper isle]

hes not gonna get it

[fathom yacht]

are you saying this most recent test is?

to stress the servers?

or all the ones previous were?

[stray kayak]

Yes, that's correct. That was its only purpose

[fathom yacht]

oh ok

fair enough

cos you said "was"

[stray kayak]

No, they were all different

[fathom yacht]

but this one still "is"

same boat man, wait for the email i guess

[stray kayak]

True, I do not have access so for me it is neither "is" or "was"

[fathom yacht]

damn

i realy wanted to give feedback

[stray kayak]

At minimum there is like 5 months to launch, so there is plenty of time for that

[fathom yacht]

yeah if they reopen it for feedback. did they say they will?

and now these invites are not to have access to future tests. so there goes my say XD

or not guranteed*

anyway, im really interested to see what they do with portal this time around

[stray kayak]

We'll definitely have a reveal in a few weeks, if there's no opportunities before that you will have opportunities after that. Who knows what testing will look like after the reveal

[fathom yacht]

i have this sneaky feeling theyre going to package all content from every bf game into this game for portal

[stray kayak]

We need a return to thriving community servers, if only just to keep the weapon restriction people happy

[fathom yacht]

since we saw horses are a thing. please tell me horses arnt part of the main game

[hidden wave]

#1375428094361468991

[fathom yacht]

both man. imagine community servers mixed with the ability of portal

[stray kayak]

By the end of 2042's life, there were plenty of options for community servers. The problem is that nobody wants to play it longer than a few minutes

[fathom yacht]

no reason they cant do that. in bf3 and 4 they never actually released the public server files, you could just rent a server from their partners

[stray kayak]

you have free servers in bf2042, even persistent ones, but you'd probably have to pay people to play them

[fathom yacht]

because theyre under portal, the big nasty easy xp umbrella full of cheesy 10000000% damage game modes

and the servers they provide are shit. when someone is renting the server, they can give somethinf a bit better quality

[willow topaz]

the portals were more of shitty 2042 gameplay on older b4 maps

2042 had such a fanstastic chance to take over the fps world

[stray kayak]

people shouldn't have complained about the xp servers as they harmed nobody. At that point you reap what you sow

[willow topaz]

but they shit the bed

[fathom yacht]

yeah you cant look at portal as a proper community server option.

[willow topaz]

completely agree

[fathom yacht]

they should have disabled XP on portal servers....simple as that

or kept the xp a multipler based on certain things

[stray kayak]

indeed, but we are so back

[willow topaz]

i need bf6 to be actually back. i dont trust trailer gameplay

[stray kayak]

that's a big reason why community servers died, besides the game being terrible. Just leave xp the same and ignore the people putting down a billion ammo boxes in some random server as it doesn't matter

[fathom yacht]

one thing i gurantee, is the bf6 trailer is going to fucking destroy you emotionally and physically. you wont be able to speak after seeing it

but will the game be that?

i know the 2042 trailer hit me hard...."battlefield is back"

the magic of marketing

[stray kayak]

i want to not be able to walk after seeing it

[fathom yacht]

yeah, but also want that experience again when you play the game for the first time

not suddenly be able to walk again...away from your pc...in disgust

[inland pumice]

tbh, just wait like 1-2 months after it releases to see if its good from feedback

from the rumors, sounds like they still dont know how to make bf6 properly

[willow topaz]

what the fuck are you talking about

[fathom yacht]

anyone else thing from the leaked videos the visuals look too "noisy"?

like 2042 and bf5

lots of high detailed photorealistic features that look like they are only there for the sake of looking good

[willow topaz]

that's how game trailers work bro

its not gameplay on average computers, if it's even a compuer and not a 3-d rendering software

[fathom yacht]

not the trailers, im talking the nf labs leaked gameplay, actual bf5 and actual bf2042 (now)

[willow topaz]

prove it's actual gameplay lol

[fathom yacht]

the visual are nice, but theyre overbearing

[inland pumice]

kinda like when you crank up the normal maps too high?

[fathom yacht]

lots of tiny little rocks and divets that dont need to be there, and they look like you should get stuck on them....but you can just glide over them with your slidy pants powers

[willow topaz]

yea that's called 4k rendering in bs ass program

[fathom yacht]

@Jolly yeah kinda

but more that, its just too much detail crunched into too little space.....it ruins visibility

and flow of the maps

[untold pagoda]

Is there another discord for labs?

[naive path]

Details are in email, i got it today too

[fathom yacht]

and dont get me started on the head glitch foliage of bf5 and 2042 where theres no way that guy can see you

but hes beaming you anyway

way too much soft cover i call that

[inland pumice]

i kinda see what youre saying, everything looks super noisy

[fathom yacht]

and too many little details allowing for sily headglitch scenarios

and visibility because a person standing againt that high detailed rock face just blends in

[inland pumice]

it kind of looks like someone scatter too many pebbles and props for the sake of "detail"

[fathom yacht]

its mainly the rock faces that get me with it

exactly that

[inland pumice]

i mean, it looks good though, but yeah too noisy

[fathom yacht]

yeah looks great, but visibilty, meh

but my biggest gripe is the tiny details that affect map read

like i said earlier...all the jagget bits, bumps, divets. in old bf games youd get stuck on that stuff forever so youd avoid it

[inland pumice]

yeah, hard to tell from the leaks

[fathom yacht]

but in modern ones, you can just glide over anything

something that looks like you shouldnt be able to walk over, you just glide over it like a hover craft

its almost like the geometry is saying "you cant walk anywhere" but the mechanics are saying "walk wherever you want"

[inland pumice]

yeah its like the render surface is way too detailed versus the navmesh

[fathom yacht]

and you dont seem to get any slow down from like, almost vertical slopes

everything is one speed, you never get stuck on anything

[inland pumice]

yeah, alot of it seems a bit arcady to me, but im used to arma so...

[dusk crescent]

I wait too....

[fathom yacht]

i just get this feeling especially in 5 and 2042 like you dont have to think about your surroundings so much, how to flow, how to escape

[midnight bridge]

wtf u needed to fill out a survay

bruh

[dusk crescent]

Hö?

[midnight bridge]

i missed it

[fathom yacht]

but more especially in 5 because its coupled with the ability to jump high walls.....that completely ruined map flow for me

@inland pumice did you feel like you couldnt hold angles in bf5?

because someone at any point could just high vault from anywhere around you

couldnt hold even a tiny little walled off space because someone could jump over the wall from any angle

head on a swivvle 24/7 trying to check, not angles, but everything within 360 degrees even though youre holding what appears to be the only way in and you have your ass plush against an 8ft wall that surrounds you in every other direction.

[dusk crescent]

Wtf

[midnight bridge]

Idk

im confused

[dusk crescent]

Me too

[neon bough]

where should I contact about the problems with the launch of the labs game?

[naive path]

Check #1375428094361468991

[quartz ermine]

Do you get free games for labs like other ea tests?

[wispy zephyr]

read your email

and if you have the latest nvidia drivers, roll them back

[neon bough]

I checked my mail, everything is also an email granting access, the latest drivers are 576.52 , I have 566.36

[karmic oak]

i may or may not have seen a video online, but BF6 looks AMAZING. i wish i got into the current playtest

[neon bough]

but I got here and there's still no way to go in)

[karmic oak]

yeah

thats what it looked like maybe

ik

sure

i love ww2

[heavy rune]

schizo

[neon bough]

I can, of course, but I've already decided to reinstall it.

[thorny kayak]

Just got done playing

Absolutely amazing tbh

[rain ginkgo]

is it supposed to just appear in your EA library?

[rare forge]

how did you guys test it in console? are we getting an e-mail when it's time for our playtest?

[feral terrace]

yup

[rain ginkgo]

alright so I guess they are just slow rolling it out

[feral terrace]

yup

[modern flax]

my time is in 90 minutes and also dont have any info

[feral terrace]

youll get it tmm then letting u know u can hop in

[solid hinge]

Okay

[wintry bison]

@rare forge you get a mail with code to redeem. After redeem labs appear in library.

[rain ginkgo]

time started 24 min ago but I haven't seen anything

[modern flax]

i wonder how big the download is if i can even play it ....

[fast flicker]

its stupid that it doesnt already go into your games library, it should just allow you to download automatically maybe even a day before your time

[limber kindle]

Will I get an email about bf6 play test today I haven’t got one yet and due to play at 10am

[wintry bison]

@modern flax on PS5 is somewhere around 39GB on the drive. Don't remember how much I was downloading.

[modern flax]

okay thats not that bad, i was expecting way more. i guess it will be fine

[wintry bison]

I think there are 3 or 4 packages to download, all varies in size

[exotic oak]

part. I got access to battlefield labs "approved", but I still don't have access to the game and it's after 8 o'clock. What should I do?

[fossil jewel]

Hi guys, do anyone should have pre alpha test and still didn’t receive the code to play the game ? 🥶

[wintry bison]

@exotic oak wait

[modern flax]

i guess wait like all of us

[solid hinge]

Did you check labs where it says your start time?

[wintry bison]

You all need to wait lol

[fossil jewel]

Same here

[limber kindle]

Same

[solid hinge]

Man I thought I was gonna be able to play the while weekend now I might not even get to play at my start time

[fossil jewel]

100/100

[rain ginkgo]

Yeah. 8 AM CET

[wintry bison]

@solid hinge signing up for Friday was giving access for entire weekend

[rain ginkgo]

still just says scheduled though

[solid hinge]

I signed up months ago

[fossil jewel]

Nope

[wintry bison]

@fossil jewel yes, I know what I signed up for

[exotic oak]

what can be done in this situation, there is access but no game?

[noble monolith]

I’ve been playing since Friday morning

[fossil jewel]

I got only one time for select

[limber kindle]

I could only get a slot not all weekend I signed up weeks ago

[fossil jewel]

And still no code for play the game

[solid hinge]

Same

[viscid iris]

anyway to talk about bugs in labs? without get banned?

[wintry bison]

@viscid iris no

[fast flicker]

different people got different times i was only allowed for today between 10am today -10am tomorrow as my time

[limber kindle]

Same

[fossil jewel]

I’m saying I did have one possibilities to check

[naive path]

can confirm also have full weekend access

[fossil jewel]

What a shit

[solid hinge]

This is so stupid man

[wintry bison]

@fossil jewel me 2, that's why I took only Friday but like all other people choosing that day I have still access but cannot talk about it more - NDA 🤣

[exotic oak]

is there any EA support working on the weekend if you leave a bug and report a bug????

[wintry bison]

@exotic oak I think they don't care about bugs, only testing servers

That's what I've seen somewhere

[fossil jewel]

So what we must just wait ?

[wintry bison]

@fossil jewel unfortunately (bądź cierpliwy)

[fossil jewel]

A lot of ppl didn’t

[stuck anvil]

This is what I see in the Lab profile
Battlefield Pre-Alpha Server Performance Test on PC
Approved
Starts: 5/25/2025 8:00 AM
Ends: 5/26/2025 8:00 AM

[wintry bison]

The only thing that pisses me off about alpha is that we have no official place to talk about it without breaking NDA and risking acc ban or whatever.

[solid hinge]

They should have just let everyone pre download it this whole thing is stupid

[exotic oak]

I have the same thing and I don't know how to solve the problem

[solid hinge]

I have a feeling this is gonna happen to me tomorrow

[fossil jewel]

Same

[fast flicker]

same with me but 10am-10am

[stuck anvil]

I understand you completely

[plush geyser]

If you received an RSVP email, and secured your day, you will gradually be invited during your day you selected - not on the hour.

[fossil jewel]

Yes I did

[digital crest]

can you dm me?

[stuck anvil]

They really think that I will sit and wait? Well, let it be XD

[exotic oak]

it makes no sense that they write that tests start at 8 am and then you have to wait the whole day for the code and you don't know when you will receive it.

[solid hinge]

I know right

[stuck anvil]

And you also need to install a customer of dough on the device, Eto will also take some time ...

[solid hinge]

If anyone is a dev in here wtf Yall doing????

[exotic oak]

or how to get access at 18 o'clock to yourself you won't play much or test. in my opinion it makes no sense ea to the existing one.

[solid hinge]

What if I change my location at time using a vpn?

[stuck anvil]

This will not give you an advantage

[solid hinge]

Dam😂

[plush geyser]

sit and wait when your time is come

[solid hinge]

Guys you want to see some gameplay ?

I found a video on YouTube

[exotic oak]

8 o'clock may refer to the time in the USA

[stuck anvil]

Those who get access to testing please share the information what to expect? A letter by mail or some kind of link in the laboratory profile we need this information!

[exotic oak]

yesssss

[solid hinge]

Watch it before they take it down not my account

[noble monolith]

Steam code by email

[naive path]

[zinc mauve]

[exotic oak]

[stuck anvil]

[zinc mauve]

[solid hinge]

Not even off the grid did this BS for the playtest

[main wharf]

Guys i ned welp with battlefield 1 downloading update is stuck at 0%

[solid hinge]

Shit down then restart and then go to bed

[stuck anvil]

In fact, this is similar to the truth that a sharp load on the server can drop it and quite reasonably launch the players gradually .... They wrote about the expansion of the scale of the dough

[main wharf]

check dm ye

[ocean tartan]

No email 😴

[main wharf]

Who has a mclaren p1 pfp

[solid hinge]

I’m messing with you lol

[main wharf]

Wa wa do do

[ocean tartan]

Executives need to be harassed, like why don't you get the game key a few days prior and the game just stays deactivated till you're on your schedule ?

[main wharf]

Why tf does it say bf hardline coming soon if it's 2025 🤔

U can play bf1 on bf4 but bf hardline coming soon

[unreal kraken]

Did anyone get an email with instructions for playtest or does it come at 10am?

[solid hinge]

No one knows at this point

[unreal kraken]

Sure those that played yesterday and Friday do 🙂

[main wharf]

Mclaren p1

[solid hinge]

What about it lol

[main wharf]

[solid hinge]

[ocean tartan]

They ask you in the survey your download speed then they f*ck over the ones with shit download speed by not allowing you to download beforehand

[main wharf]

Rigged ah

[main wharf]

[solid hinge]

[viscid iris]

[solid hinge]

What did you do?

[viscid iris]

is there only 1 map?

to play

[stuck anvil]

yes, the test is aimed at the server part and not gameplay

[exotic oak]

o information

0

like 80% of the community zero information zeor mail

[languid walrus]

Nice playtest 😂

[stuck anvil]

ep

[exotic oak]

this is not funny, a person got up at 8 am to test, and that's nothing. now wait to see if you get access despite the approved status

[solid hinge]

Is there a way to update the ea app?

[exotic oak]

it won't do you any good because you have to wait for the email from ea

[solid hinge]

Ugh

[minor leaf]

i refresh my email every 5 mins...

[stuck anvil]

I arrived from the night shift and still wait, but the mean already has lunch

[rain ginkgo]

check back in an hour and 5 hours and 8 hours. idk some people say its actually 10 CET or maybe EA cant do timezones and its US East or West coast times

[tired spoke]

The Pre-Alpha is good, However The amount of people treating it like its Call of duty ruins the game for everyone else. Like If you want to do that dumb stuff go play call of duty

[novel tangle]

what does that even mean lmao

"people are playing the game in a way i dont like so stop playing it please"

[languid walrus]

Bruh I’ m living in France so I dont realy know the Time test

[pearl yew]

10 am cest is within 45 min where i live

[minor leaf]

thats 10:00 AM in the morning like here i nthe netherlands

[pearl yew]

So maybe we need to wait 45 min more

[rain ginkgo]

hopium

worst case its cali time and its 8 hours from now cause that is where EA is based

[tired spoke]

You're new to battlefield Isaac. Here let me enlightin you. Back in Battlefield 3 and 4 people actually thought about where to attack and how. Not just running around like they did/do in the beta. You'd know that If you where battlefield Veteran.

[exotic oak]

and it will probably be the case that most will not play despite access. Thanks EA

[solid hinge]

Doesn’t dice make the game? Aren’t they located in the UK?

[rain ginkgo]

Sweden

[novel tangle]

Been playing since 1942

Lmfao

[minor leaf]

Isaac noob

[novel tangle]

"back in 3" brother I was playing 1942, vietnam, and 2 back in the day

[solid hinge]

Whatever happened to Medal of Honor?

[rain ginkgo]

People have been playing BF like COD since BF3 stop rage baiting

[cinder jay]

when invite to playtest will be send? it starts in lesss than an 1h

[novel tangle]

Its an alpha with a bunch of people wanting to try it out. Its not gonna be the final playerbase. And in any case, people will play within the constraints the game gives them. if you dont want that playstyle, you must balance the game to prevent it

cant blame the players for finding an optimal strategy

[solid hinge]

Probably never

[cinder jay]

why?

[novel tangle]

i would argue since bad company its appealed to a more "cod" audience, which is fine. They grew massively once they went more casual

[tired spoke]

Im sure, Please let the veterans talk and learn how movement is is Call of duty is vs battlefield Battlefield is better when you play it as such with being strategic. Not running around like in Call of duty being another body on the ground.

[solid hinge]

Ppls start time already started and they haven’t gotten the email

[rain ginkgo]

all the sunday invites delayed or cancelled who knows

[novel tangle]

tbh ill take destruction and the improved gunplay over the gameplay of the older games, as a bunch of other games have popped up to fill that niche

[novel tangle]

You want my BF3 battlelog where I have the veterans program? With 1942 on it? lmao

[exotic oak]

these are jokes generally giving access without access

[tired spoke]

The event is over now. You missed out

[mortal grotto]

whens the next?

[novel tangle]

If the game allows you to do it, people will do it. The game has been cod like since bad company. This isn't new

[solid hinge]

Well I’m going to bed hopefully I can play even I wake up

[tired spoke]

When ever they say. I was lucky enough to get invited this time.

[novel tangle]

many prefer the all out chaos and less orderly gameplay to what old titles had in say bf2

[rain ginkgo]

man its funny either he is rage baiting or he is just complaining cause he is bad idk

[tired spoke]

Weekend is over you wont be able to play.

[mortal grotto]

what you think? how much did you play?

[solid hinge]

Start time is tomorrow

[novel tangle]

it ends on sunday at 10 PM est does it not

[tired spoke]

If that was the case I wouldn't be here Typeing.

The event is over.

How I know?

[solid hinge]

That’s cuz YOUR playtime is over

[rain ginkgo]

this the worst customer support where can I complain?

[hearty lodge]

Le epic troll

[tired spoke]

72Hr

[novel tangle]

[viscid iris]

[novel tangle]

its only been 48

[tired spoke]

"week-End "

[exotic oak]

Connected to external access, secure from 24/25.05

[tired spoke]

I'm talking to people that still haven't got to test it trying to tell someone that has.

[tired spoke]

I can't say what I think. As it's NDA

[novel tangle]

theres a third slot people were allowed to RSVP for

and its on sunday

weekend is not over

[novel tangle]

???????

this guy is the master troll lmao

ur allowed to say if u like it

[rain ginkgo]

just not allowed to discuss specifics in public and share images/video

[solid hinge]

just gonna play minecraft

[tired spoke]

If it matters at all, Gameplay has potential. If they keep going down the right route I might pre-order it. However.... It's all the Call Of duty players will ruin it for us Battlefield players. Along side anyone that can revive doesn't and its super annoying, As after Battlefield 4 no one hardly cares to revive or wait for one. That's all I'll say.

[rain ginkgo]

more of the same blah blah im bad and blame it on COD

sounds like you would rather play Squad

[tired spoke]

You clearly don't know how players move on Call of duty vs Battlefield,3,4,5 or 1

[earnest violet]

Hello, I'm signed up for the pre-alpha playtest. How can I download it for the PS5? Can anyone help me?

[tired spoke]

People moved as a team, Flaked as a team.

[west sapphire]

for me cod hasnt been good in like 10yrs

[tired spoke]

Not just running into the point to Hope of getting 1 kill

That's what you do in cod

[rain ginkgo]

only time people actually did this is when I played with a community that was playing competitive

in normal servers everyone does their own thing

[tired spoke]

If you got an email, It tells you how too. Check your spam folder.

[novel tangle]

lol

3 and onwards, its always just been attack attack attack

no defending

its not a new thing lol

[novel tangle]

yeah idk what servers this guy is on

[rain ginkgo]

rage bait

[tired spoke]

There is lot's of people that do that, Way more than you think. One of my matches myself along with three other squads all worked together. It's a crazy idea I know.

[rain ginkgo]

I got like 1k hours on BF3 and BF4 together at least. No one plays like he describes

[novel tangle]

people have this romanticized version of the game that just doesnt exist i dont get it

[rain ginkgo]

people legit just jump sprint around on BF3

[earnest violet]

Oh, so I know. I thought I'd missed something because the test started at 8:00 a.m. I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer. Thanks for the reply.

[tired spoke]

Sprint in Battlefield 3?

With jumping?

AHAH They are the most easiest people to take out.

Make your self slower 🙂

If you did then you should see an email.

[vivid walrus]

I have the email but you have to respond to the email before the start date of the test or they don’t let you play even if you were accepted

[rain ginkgo]

sounds like you didnt know how to play the game

[vivid walrus]

I didn’t RSVP my times for the playtest before May 23rd so now I can’t play the playtest

[rain ginkgo]

which explains the blame COD

[tired spoke]

My 16.2k hours say Otherwise.

[vivid walrus]

16k hours in any game is sad

[tired spoke]

I'm growing cancer having to read what you as a non inivted person has to say.

[rain ginkgo]

if you aren't a pro making money off the game 16k hours is sad

[vivid walrus]

Pro in battlefield lol??

[tired spoke]

That it is, Back when you where in school and You enjoyed a game? That doesn't matter.

[rain ginkgo]

Yeah its not possible

so its just sad

[tired spoke]

Warthunder I have 3.6k hrs

[vivid walrus]

When I was in high school I had a job and sports practices, and in college I did EE so I had no time to play games

[tired spoke]

Not me thankfully. Didn't need to work then and I still don't now. So why would I.

[vivid walrus]

Why’s that?

[tired spoke]

Powerball winner, Well Split the winnings.

[vivid walrus]

How much was it at the time?

[quick pebble]

Is BFV still full of hackers?

[tired spoke]

like 52.8m I think.

plus or minuis.

[vivid walrus]

hell yeah

I can’t blame you then

I’d do the same

I wouldn’t work at all and I do my job out of passion but I’d still drop it

[weak verge]

Press F to doubt

[tired spoke]

I wasn't dumb, I invested some of it into an appartment complex to give me passive income.

[vivid walrus]

Just become a slum lord

Pass it off to kids down the road

[tired spoke]

I thought about living in the complex

rent free

[vivid walrus]

you can live free anywhere if your setting a whole apartment complex up for rent

should be able to pay the mortgage of any house

For the most part

[tired spoke]

It was a 44 unit complex.

Not big, But not small.

[vivid walrus]

Yea but at like 1500 for each tenant or whatever you can easily pay off most mortgages

Idk what the details of the complex are exactly but that’s just a lowball assumption

[tired spoke]

On avg that complex brings me in $52,000 of gross profit. into my pocket.

In a year sorry.

I don't charge that much.

[vivid walrus]

oh yes that’s pretty minimal

[tired spoke]

That one is for low income people.

[vivid walrus]

rn i rent out two houses at 2200 a month

[vivid walrus]

Figured as much

[tired spoke]

My other one doesn't do as good, but still rack in about 66k a year.

I didn't go past two complexes

[vivid walrus]

I mean for not having to do anything it’s solid

Rn I’m bringing in a shit ton a year but the cost is that I work literally non stop and don’t breathe at all

[tired spoke]

I dont even get to see any of it though.

I give myself 58k a year the rest gets reinvested back into something.

[vivid walrus]

That’s the way to do it

Every year I do about 60-100k a year in reinvestments to my company for tax write offs alone

[tired spoke]

ahah smart way to do it.

[vivid walrus]

Yea and for your case any appliances you buy can be wrote off as well so you’d have even more leniency then me over your write offs

[tired spoke]

I do that plus any furnished units also.

[vivid walrus]

Nice

[tired spoke]

All in all, I have all the time in the world.

I'm even getting paid right now if you think about it.

[minor leaf]

sure xD

[languid walrus]

Xd I swear

[minor leaf]

[unreal kraken]

[minor leaf]

[silent tide]

Yes

[knotty dirge]

Hello

[stuck anvil]

I was thrown out of the dough alone? My timer was dropped in the labarator profile !!!!!!!!

[thorny glacier]

Missed that xD

[knotty dirge]

Why does bf1 have so many different tanks when half of them aren't even good I think

[quaint prairie]

no, same thing happened to me and after it disappeared, like 10 mins and it appeared in my EA games library. 1 hour late tho

[wispy robin]

not for me 😦

[silent tide]

Just check EA Labs website if your playtest schedule is up to date

[eternal oyster]

Anything else needed?

Or random draw..

[minor leaf]

Still nothing in email and EA app

😦

[stuck anvil]

Thanks for the information really in the library there is a reference, start downloading! )))

[frozen valley]
