Introducing Battlefield Labs - Help shape the future of BF

An effective medic is not meant to be akimboing into the fray with SMGs in CQC. Nor looking through a reticule for most of the match. You're meant to be supporting your squad and putting down packs where they are needed, running to revive etc. If you're a sniper you're not really pushing in Rush are you? So unless you have an entire squad of recon you will be miles away from your squad mates.

If you want to use a sniper rifle why not play recon and actually provide recon support for spotting etc? SMG is more subjective but again as your squads health is your main priority you shouldn't be in real close quarters combat unless your squad gets broken through.

Put bluntly, if you're just in a squad farming points on stupid revives and hoping people run over your med packs then it probably isn't a big deal. But if you're playing as a proper squad then it does.
Some of my favourite memories of Battlefield are throwing down health packs and reviving teammates over and over to refund tickets on the meat grinder maps on rush. I could've done with an smg in that scenario.

And snipers are shit at spotting anyway.

I see the Battlefield subreddit is losing the minds over this, but I will reserve judgement until the game launches.

I can recall when there were 15 people sitting at the back of the map on each team spamming mortars. People will gravitate to overpowered things, so the only solution is to make everything viable.
 
its 9am EST already and ive yet to receive a code to download and ive been accepted for fri


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

That's what I've read. If that is the case, then they shouldn't have you select a timeframe to get in considering anyone would be waiting for a while past their start time.
 
I've been accepted for today, and apparently I think you have access all throughout the weekend. Still, no code in my email despite me being on the testing schedule and the RSVP for PS5. There is literally no one to contact for support about this. EA Help is shit since it's run by a chat bot and they just redirect you in circles. Don't bother with the Battlefield Discord as it's a mine field either.

Super frustrating here.

Mine in EU gave me tomorrow for the response thing. Be nice having whole weekend like.

I didn't even know til i looked in here then checked my spam lol

Yea...I have been checking every 10 minutes or so. This is ridiculous lol. I wish they would be more clear in their communication. Support is not there at all.

It's good, there are some adjustments to be made but overall it's very solid. Feels like BF3's Back to Karkand for the maps I played.

It did say you'll get the email the day you're in the test.

But my body is ready. I've been getting sick of the wonky shitty Marvel Rivals matchmaking. So this is great
 
I redeemed my code in the PS app and told it to download to my PS5 in rest mode. Now I can't find the game when I go to my PS5 and the code has already been redeemed. Anyone having this issue? I don't know where to go to launch it.

Is it not in your purchased library on the console?
 
Figured it out. It didn't automatically download so I had to go to purchases and tell to manually download. Thanks for the help!

Remake Battlefield 2 (pc era battlefield) or bad company 2, or battlefield 3 and 4(after patches).

Seriously , its not hard, they have history of good games to go back on from before the woke era.

Bf1 was the turning point of shitting going downhill. while not a bad game, they focused on woke stuff and historcial inaccuracies. It started here and it was released in 2016, woke era started 2014. Shit got pushed.
But Bf5 took the cake. They had to push identity politics and intersectional feminism in a war game. Making disabled woman fight in the front line. A woman and her daughter taking over a water plant in ww2 Norway, taking the place of a squadron of men... nothing to see here folks, lol. It was all ridiculous.

They loved that esg money and pushed woke feminism hard. IT didn't turn out for them and rightfully so.
All they needed to do was create a new graphics version of battlefield 1942, or its smaller psn game 1943!

BF 1943 was in fact my favorite in terms of pure fun for multiplayer. It was simple and easy to jump in and out. I loved it.

As for my favorite single player , that would be BF bad company 2.

If they wanted diversity make a new battlefield bad company game, which bf1 and 2 were already diverse.
If they wanted modern war, make it like BF3 and 4, but with better graphics and some new game modes. Why change it to appease era and reddit rejects?


Best bf games: BF 1942, Vietnam, BF2 ,BF3, BAD company 1 & 2, BF4, BF1943.

I have no faith that they learned their lesson or can make a good game anymore. It's sad, with BF tanking and Cod going woke and fort-nity, I don't play online fps anymore at all. BF5 was their last chance, and while they did try to correct ship, the damage was already done.

You fuckers better be in here with impressions, assuming your username isnt also your gamertag.
Dont want to get you banned.....but also dont care as long as I get the deets.

For those who have played all the modern BF games, what does it most feel like overall.
Especially for anyone who was in the BF3 Alpha and can remember how much they were planning on putting in that game.

Bro what?

Like what what?

BF1 still has the best atmosphere and hardcore gunplay of all the BF games.
Ill agree things went downhill from there, but thats only BFV and 2042.

BF1 was legit amazing, the DLC was all hard hitting, and after they made it free and all the gamemodes filled up again, it was like heaven.
Dunno waht woke shit you saw in BF1 cuz I cant remember any, beyond BF3/4 its the Battlefield game i put the most hours into, even more the BC2.
 
I haven't played it yet, but based on videos I feel like the game is missing a hook or some features to really give it that wow factor you expect from a new BF game. Revamped Levolution and dynamic weather events could have done that but it seems like that stuff isn't in there.

Played for about 30 minutes. I'll play more tonight.

To me, it finally seems that DICE has finally got their shit together. To me, it moves smoother than BF4. Gunplay feels crispy too. I'm really liking what I'm experiencing.

What don't you like about this new one? Seems like a mostly positive reception so far for the tests.

Really enjoying the gunplay as well when the server behaves

I actually prefer the smaller maps and putting a lot of lead downrange with LMGs
 
the pre-alpha has a ton of bugs, it really does feel like internal playtesting so expect lots of random issues all over

the graphics are underwhelming, it runs amazing in 120hz, its not 120fps but really smooth probably in the 80-90 range, the map and detail is sharp but overall it just doesnt feel like a true current gen powerhouse like their games used to be. that era is long gone and those engineers have left and created the finals/arc raiders. you guys have to understand that the entire CORE dice team had left after BF1 and then the rest of the talent after BF5, 2042 was made by a junior team that mostly never shipped a game before. this one is better but i encourage all of you to download the finals and play the intro, its so obvious the old core DICE made that from the gfx to the explosions and destruction. its so polished and impressive and reminds me of old bf games due to the people behind it.

the gunplay is good, the game doest not feel too janky, the maps are miles better than 2042 and it feels like bf4 with updated graphics

i will wait for public beta to decide if i want to preorder this, i got burned hard with 2042 and their 100$ edition, that game was a travesty

it seems like all the attachments are unlocked so you can experiment and have fun with all the guns but the descriptive texts missing informing you what each attachment does unfortunately

overall a solid 7/10 with a potential to get to 8-9/10 by the time public beta drops. it needs a ton of bug fixing to be fully enjoed

i made peace with the fact that the core team that made our favorite Battlefield entries is long gone and when the talent leaves you have a shell of its former self in regards to DICE.

Server performance is horrific for me, almost unplayable, like I'm 5 frames behind everyone else, takes a whole clip to kill people, and I die in 1 frame, so in that regard its like every other bf game for me

And yeh doesn't look amazing, bf1 and bfv look better imo, but it is an alpha, destruction is OK, no where near what I expected it be.

Sound is amazing when it actually syncs to what actually happening on screen

It's very very junky for me, hopefully it gets better over the weekend performance wise, but I have a feeling it won't Improve for me even on full release. Unless someone has some idea as to why bf games alway have shit online performance for me
 

 
Where are you from? I played like 5 hours and had 0 server issues.

Also

UK, as said, I'm like 5 frames behind everyone all evening, like none of my packets are being sent and all of there's hit me at once, movement was like running in custard.

This is on pc too, and thr aim assist settings are a joke, snap on aim is actually a setting 🤣. So shit servers and mental aim assist for console peasants, makes for a not very enjoyable experience, as said if it ran decent for me it would a fun game

Aim assist is really low, you dont even feel it at all. Its either not working or just really subtle. No ADS sens setting really screwed me over. My aim was dogshit without a proper ads sens and your sens is even higher while ads...

Tbh I'm just making excuses as to why it feels like shit for me I.e. they get aim assist, must be the reason I'm getting shit on......standard pc behaviour.


I just want it to run smooth for me, so I can have a proper feel for it, it's 100% a packet loss thing, nonidea how to solve tho 😪
