****ing ********. The CTE is still garbage.

Reg still hit and miss. Still dying behind cover. Still getting frame drops. The game is still **** to the core.

clunky/slow movement. no skill gap/skill ceiling recoil. Headglitching.

Cancer game modes like domination and zero developer support for competitive.

Nope, back to CS.
 
Sorry to say it but competitive play isn't their core market so (and purely IMO) they're right to treat it as a secondary issue compared to something that will benefit everyone, Pro's and 'nubs' a like. I have zero interest in anything competitive in BF4 at the moment and am happy they're giving it effectively zero time in favour of other benefits and improvements.
 
So if CTE is so good, when the **** are the going to roll in out for everyone else.

I refuse to give EA or DICE another 15GB on my hard drive space.

I agree the movement is still clunky etc but the reg feels much better. I played three rounds last night. My FPS is also fairly stable.

I'll play again tonight as I haven't yet encountered getting killed behind walls etc

They more than likely won't. They'll save it for BF5, and then the masses will purchase another borked game, littered with issues.

It'll be a similar transition from BF3 Alpha to beta/final release and BF4 beta to final release.

Just downloaded this CTE lark. I'm guessing it's all just a trick to make us feel involved and engaged throughout the development process...
 
Even if the next client update improves things Dice need to consider changing infrantry game mechanics, and general balance. Less is more in Battlefield if they continue to go down the COD route that Kertz wants infrantry play will noticeably just get even more worse.
 
So what is this cte exactly? Is it a different client, servers etc. Just thinking if your all on cte and I miss free sign up, will I not be able to play with you lot?
 
Pretty much tony. Not many here have it :(

Got it dll and installed last night so will be trying it today or tomorrow.....

I can't see why they can't release these changes/fixes as a normal patch to the proper version of bf 4 though :confused:

Going to go back to BF 3 mainly as I just can't get seem to get much more enjoyment from BF 4 :(

I thought CTE was simply a dev test bed for patches that might require in game testing and so created it to keep testing separate to the main client, much live EVE as the main universe and then the test universe...

Its a seperate 15GB download of the MP only. A newer build than the base game. Call it a beta if you will.

The servers are being updated with changes before they go live to the base game, as is the client.

IMO, its good, and the fact the community is far more mature than stock BF4 is also a big bonus!:)

We are very happy to finally unveil this environment to the public, and prepared to start this new more open dialog with our community!

What we choose to work on for the game has always bee influenced heavily by the community and the feedback we receive from you. Using the CTE we will be able to develop in faster cycles when adding features, show them to you earlier, and even get direct feedback during development.

What content is available on the CTE will be directed by the kind of initiative we are currently focusing on (For example “DICE <3 RUSH”). We will also test general gameplay balance changes, gather telemetry data and test new game modes and systems.

Not everything we test on the CTE will make it into the final game of course. We want to be able to openly try new features & improvements earlier in the process, and sometimes the end result won’t make the cut or for other reasons not be fit for release.

We hope you will find the CTE fulfills this promise – we can’t wait to get started!

The annoying thing is, I bet you any money, all of the good fixes/improvements will be saved for BF 5 :o :( Just like what happened with bf 3 and the so called fixes/improvements that were coming; getting rid of blue filter overlay, reducing suppression etc.



Didn't realise I could now use mantle in bf 4 so will be jumping on bf 4 for a bit tonight/tomorrow to see if these irritating FPS drops are gone....... Bad thing is sweetfx doesn't work :(

bare in mind we likely won't see battlefield 5 until 2017.
