Beta now live

[phil bottle 9,761]

I played a couple of games of Conquest before work, Which - for those not familiar - is like a massive version of Domination but with 5 flags instead of 3.

Either its full of noobs or I am on form today, seriously had it up

Boss allowed me to work from home today (I broke my toilet which is sadly true, lol).

James, PM me your PSN tag, would be good to get a few games in with you,

Back on a midday

Downloading it now. It's about a 6.5G download and you need you code to download

Will play later. Hopefully fly the biplanes

Yep i've started downloading it through the web store, fortunately i left my ps4 on rest mode

Disapointed so far. Very laggy and choppy. People will say it's beta but a got that a lot with BF4 on release also. Since I have 100Mbps internet it's not like I can improve my connection to get better performance.

Is it dependant on how many people are playing or does the fact you pick servers get around that, do the servers have the connection bars to aid choice?

[cyberninja2601 1,106]

 

I did quick picks but the server seemed to have pretty good connections. I tried 3 matches. I'll try later when there hopefully are more people on the east coast. I think I'm getting east coast/Europe combinations right now.

Mines just finished downloading, just need to get home now.

I ranked up to L8 at lunch time, didn't have any issues with lag. Back on after work.

I'll be online after dinner to try this out.

Unlike PS4 users, xbox one users can't play this beta without xbox gold. That means if anyone on here doesn'thave ps plus get downloading and play the beta from today.

Ha I managed to squeeze a few rounds in after work too and made it to level 11 or 12.

Conquest is great but you need a team working together on Rush. Played one game defending and surrounded by pure idiots we got slaughtered.

Played a couple of matches and the game runs really well and the engine is nice and fluid. Shame the beta map on offer so far is one of the worst I've ever played on in Battlefield though but hopefully we'll get another one in the coming days.

I'll definitely be on tonight, hope to catch ya then.

Yesterday, I experienced a wind storm and it was CRAZY. 

I've noticed a few minor glitches but overall, it's great. No connection problems really. 

[cyberninja2601 1,106]

 

 

realy? What modes and what servers are you using? Connection is shit for me anytime you get at a busy flag in conquest and there is a battle for the flag

Movement tends to be pretty bad

[J4MES OX4D 10,035]

Peak time and EA servers are down - what a surprise! 

The two games I played this morning were fantastic but I then played a couple more this evening and the lag kicked in. Was gonna try tonight but no luck getting on the servers which is bloody typical! 

[cyberninja2601 1,106]

It was a DoS attack. All EA servers are down

[Capn_Underpants 401]

Servers seem good now. In a squad. I'm experiencing some Wtf moments with the amount of bullets it takes to kill people but i'm just blaming myself and not the connection. Getting on a flag, and stuff like that I don't see any dodgy connections. 

[techno 3,511]

I have seen a few graphics glitches but expect nothing else from a bf game, after not being able to play last night I want to try some more tonight but not long as that one map just gets boring.

[Capn_Underpants 401]

Been having a blast with the beta. The squad system needs some work though. It's linked to the voice chat party and is just plain weird. 

[GazzaGarratt 11,051]

Beta is extended to this Thursday however Battlefield have tweeted "Starting today, we are simulating extreme launch situations to test BF1 servers. You may experience downtime throughout the stress test."

Not sure how much gametime people will get.

[J4MES OX4D 10,035]

I enjoyed the beta and am looking forward to the release next month. Shame we only had access to one map which was one of the worst I've ever seen in a Battlefield game but the gameplay seems pretty decent although some classes have it oh so easy with no bullet drop at range and simple OHK's. Hopefully Conquest wont be that fast paced on every map either but glad they upped the score to 300 which meant matches lasted close to half hour and it's those high ticket matches that made BF4 so epic.
