Players will have to download a separate game client, then connect to an infrastructure and Battlelog version solely set up for testing purposes. To access the CTE, you will need to be a Battlefield 4 Premium member. However, the goal is for our learnings to benefit all platforms when possible. This community program will be available on PC only. This number will be increased eventually and here’s how players can get involved… The CTE is only going to be made available to Battlefield 4 Premium members who opt-in and DICE will be limiting the number of participants. The first issue they want to tackle is one that’s been a real problem from the start, the Netcode. To use this, you must have the game: Battlefield 4 PC System Requirements MINIMUM: OS: Windows Vista SP2 32-bit Processor (AMD): Athlon X2 2.8 GHz Processor (Intel): Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz Memory: 4 GB Hard Drive: 30 GB Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon HD 3870 Graphics card (NVIDIA): Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT Graphics memory: 512 MB.
This should have probably been done sooner but the Community Test Environment (CTE) will allow DICE to test “new ideas and solutions to current issues” before pushing them on to the live servers. Battlefield 4 is still not perfect and DICE are biting the bullet and getting the community involved to help sort the game.
