Battlefield’s beta will tell people to stay back or not.

 

[Mr.ODST]

You must not have friends to play with

Or you know ... they haven't shown any gameplay whatsoever so close to release.

 

[Riky]

Are Gamepass Ultimate members able to play tomorrow?

 

[MDSLKTR]

I have it preordered + GPU member and it's still asking me to buy it for early access :/

Yeah

Same here main servers just arent up yet I wouldnt worry about it

 

[SpokkX]

What time tomorrow?

 

[GamesDontSuck]

My hype meter is going up. As someone who still plays bf3 on xbox to this day I hope it's a worthy sequel.

 

[RNG]

Chatted with Amazon support about PC beta codes they had no idea anyone get theirs?

Got mines yesterday.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

What time tomorrow?

 

[TheContact]

my preload date still says nov 10th, not sure what i'm doing wrong

edit: had to use this link and click 'try it first' then it added the beta.

 

[VN1X]

I downloaded it on Origin but does that mean I can play tomorrow as someone who didn't pre-order?

 

[DonJorginho]

Im less optimistic about this game now, zero showing up until this beta now and that's a month before game releases.

Been chasing up info on your code, here's latest I've got, hope this is okay mate sorry for the delay! as soon as I get the codes I'll take my break at work and send em over.

from Amazon rep

Yes, you will receive two per email. It is taking slightly longer than usual however my resources do guarantee that the Beta codes will be sent before 8am tomorrow

from the FAQ

Pre-load begins on October 5 (at 07:00 UTC on all platforms), but not everyone will be able to access the Open Beta at the same time. Early access is available October 6–7 (start playing at 07:00 UTC all platforms on 10/06) for anyone who has pre-ordered Battlefield 2042 or is an EA Play member. General access begins on October 8 (at 07:00 UTC on all platforms), at which point anyone can join the fight.

also, the install is just over 18GB on PC at least

[jaysius]

This is great for North Americans, by noon-afternoon hopefully the thing will have most of its crashes done.

So place your bets

The following will happen..or all will happen
1) The beta servers will be overloaded and you wont be able to join a game for 2 days
2) when you do get into the game the game will have major technical issues (bugs/glitches)
3) From a gameplay perspective a large group of vocal people will be bitching why its not like bf4 and simply feels like BFV with updated guns/maps
4) They delay the game until next year

Hope they tune down the color saturation. It's an atrocity.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Can we play now?

You forgot:

5. The official Battlefield twitter account will put out an apology assuring everyone they will "do better"

 

[Max_Po]

I thought BF3 beta was awesome...

 

[Neolombax]

Anyone tried the beta on OG PS4? How is the performance?

 

[Mattdaddy]

Wait If I download the game on Steam does it launch Origin when I try to play it? I cant remember how that works.

Oh
6) When selecting your character the Female/Male toggle button will cause resetera to meltdown

 

[Artistic]

My memory is not great but can roughly recall on PC platform BF3, BF4 & BF5 all were riddled with bugs/glitches in beta and upon launch. Can't recall BFBC2 beta state.
BF1 was the most polished less broken mp game upon release.
Anyone else have better recollection?

Edit: I predict beta and launch will be broken and buggy as usual but with no SP campaign there will be excuses.

 

[Droxcy]

Good thing I'm starting my gym plan at 3 am sharp tomorrow morning looks like I'm getting some Beta time in before work! **If the servers work**

 

[Clintizzle]

Getting unknown error when I try to join a game on the XSX. Anyone else?

 

[Sweatlord2000]

Same here on PC. Cant get in

 

[[Sigma]]

Of course it's not working on time lol. The option tab looks like a mess that I got to sort out. Don't get me wrong, I like that I have all those options though.

 

[Sybrix]

I keep getting a QR code to scan when i try and play.... on PC

 

[Solarstrike]

Paid
Open Beta

 

[Solarstrike]

Have to pay to play/try it

 

[smart_brazileiro]

Not gonna lie... I expected a lot more graphics wise (on ps5). Buts hella fun. The gadgets n all are a ton of fun to experiment with.
A Ryzen 5 should handle this game just fine.

 

[Sybrix]

Have to pay to play

I have EA Play tho

 

[Solarstrike]

I have EA Play tho

Exactly. You paid to play

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

I wish I had friendts to play this beta with, battlefield is so much more fun with people on mic in a squad. All my friends don't play this

 

[Jibran#one]

Try 3 4 times it will get u in

 

[Artistic]

Finally got into a match on Series X.

On first glance, not too impressed graphically. Looks like a sharper/cleaner BF4(less jaggies).

 

[Jibran#one]

Holyfuck me Christ how do u open the map on Xbox , the map is giant even in controll scheme it doesn't tell u how to open the map

 

[Artistic]

Maybe this map isn't the best visual showcase...
