Battlefield 1

As the alpha test has started it could be time to start a dedicated thread.

I got my alpha test email today so in about 2 hours I'm going to get to try it and I'll get back to you.

Let us know!

Never played battlefield before, but after seeing the latest incarnation of COD that we're going to be getting, I'm changing franchise. Hopefully this is as good as it looks!

The alpha is very limited (500mb) but i have to say it is a lot of fun and pretty?? Geese. I have a 5 year old processor and at best a mid range gfx card and it is gorgeous.

I vowed never to pre order again after the massive disappointment that was Battlefront but I am seriously tempted by this.

For what little is in the alpha it gets a firm thumbs up from me.

Like this one you mean: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ?

Regardless, this looks to be shaping up to be a great game. Looking forward to the beta.

Had alpha access the game for about a week now & I'm impressed so far. Definitely on my preorder list.

Got my Alpha email yesterday, playing on PS4.

It's a lot of fun! Got some good kills in, weapons feel good, level design (for the one that I've played) is good.

Looking forward to it's release!

Gotta say I wasn't going to bother with battlefield 1 after 4 was a bit disappointing. But so far very impressed. Glad were back to the bfbc2 style of destructive scenery.

I pre-ordered it ages ago... It was always a foregone conclusion in any event!!

And having seen the gameplay I am even more pleased I did.

How does one get a Beta test?

[PorkRind]

Argh, wheres my alpha, eh EA?

[Nom de ploom]

XBOne download link possible?

do you have to have had a previous battlefield game to qualify?

[XslaneyX]

was the alpha only for people who pre ordered or signed up to one of EA's various sites?

[Martin_Hx]

I heard it was random, PC only...

[Gazzas86]

I've also heard it was random, There are people getting Xbox keys and them being a PS4 player, and visa versa, so if I get a Xbone key i'll give it out, that being said if anyone gets a PS4 one and don't need it, then let me know

Well I have the pre-order and I've had most of the previous battlefield games too.. That said, if it sends an email it is now to an account that is defunct, and has been for many years as I set this stuff up a looong time ago.

I remember the EA gun club thing when MOH came out (Load of gash that was!) just to get access to something ingame IIRC. Shame the EAUK BF community was shut down due to the seething reviews and criticisms of the DICE employees. So much banter was on there along with helpful members getting you links and pointing you in the right direction for access to alpha/beta etc.

The BF3 Closed Alpha testing on Metrololol map was mind blowing. A few of us even got to try Caspian border on the DICE locked servers after pestering the DICE community manager for the password which was changed every 4-6 hours. Apart from the obvious glitches etc it was a very well balanced. Felt worse in the Beta. The final product was ok and put some hours into it on PC but didn't have that same feeling from when it was Alpha.

Did anyone get the beta email this morning asking you to select your platform? The link takes me to a page with stuff all over the place and. O option for choosing the platform.

Sadly not but my email for EA is one I haven't been able to access for about 3 years!
