It's premium only for now. I've read on the forums that it's around 15gb. You also have to go to the cte website to download it or check the forums (on my phone so can't multitask). This was first posted on reddit last night. Darkstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it appears that loads of people signed up so they've stopped sign ups until the official announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really that hard to nail down what the problems with the game are? I assume the modified game client will allow testers to collect more logs and debug data, instead of just reporting "I shot the guy a buncha times and he didn't die WTF DICE WTFFFFFFF!!!!!"

Yeah they stated they will test several things so we will see. The first few days I'm sure is data collection. I agree I was thinking about it plus you get like 21 battlepacks for free when signing up or something like that lol. Anyways I think it's good and hopefully we will see it implemented in game without breaking other aspects. Oh PS grats on your tags. Also WatchDogs looks like it might be a great game and I maybe playing that a bit Edited May 8, 2014 by acucats07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are helping them make the game work as intended on release, not some pre alpha stage, they should make those who paid for full price premium 120$ , would get next Battlefield game for free or 50% off, just my opinion, otherwise, I'm not buying, because EA and stuff. ---------------------------------- EDIT ---------------------------------- I've told my friends about this, their comment was and I quote(more or less, can't remember everything). "You buy the game (60$), its obv not in the stage to being released, hell its even worse than DayZ beta and there's a lot of shit going on in DayZ, they are trying to fix BF4 which should have happend in the first month of release, now they give you CTE thing, and say >ONLY BF4 PREMIUM PLAYERS<, so right now they are making you pay aditionally 50$ or w/e just to fix the game for them, so instead of you getting paid or some kind of special reward, you have to PAY them, so you can try fixing the game, which has a life spam of 4 more months at most, not only that they said LIMITED JOINS for the CTE, you gotta be shitting me. Now I'm 100% done with EA and DICE, going back to CoD, atleast you know what you get in CoD." This shit is so cash I cryed laughin at what they said, tho they weren't saying anything wrong, in fact they are 100% right. I obv I'm done with EA too, not gonna buy another game made by them or even have 1% of EA in that game, saying that I will still play BF4 because I play with you guys, but thats it, no more bullshit from EA and DICE.

I think the idea of what they can accomplish with this type of test environment could be amazing and good for everyone.

This is happening at the same time they mostly killed the entire multiplayer for BF2. And others. Based on how they are hemming and hawing about fixing that, I suspect those games are gone forever. Shame because BF2 is still a great game and has some great mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

However it is crazy to expect them to continue to support and maintain so much when they struggle to keep the latest and greatest thing working.... So, I am all for reducing the focus to what most people are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont need to do more patches but must keep the minimum requirements for it to function as advertised. Last I checked UT still worked and Epic has nowhere near the resources Activision has. Nor nearly as many players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If people still want to play BF2, etc they can but they won't have official EA servers anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for how? Their most recent comments, I think, was that they have no idea. Meaning 'dont hold your breath'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

But my better judgement told me to wait. I am very glad I did. Despite all its bugs I have not had this much fun with a game in a couple years. I've put 405 hours into and I didn't get it right when it was released. I got it I can't remember when but they had a half off sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
