Beta Battlefield 5 will be held in early September

Electronic Arts has confirmed that Battlefield 5 will have an open beta, and that it will be held in the early part of September. A specific date has not yet been unveiled, but EA has discussed some things that she will change based on what she has learned from the recently completed closed alpha test.

EA recognized "some problems" with the matching during the test period, although I think it's normal in an alpha – I would be more surprised if everything worked as expected. Nevertheless, he promised an improvement in matching and stability for the future, and also touched on the specific elements he is working on, such as queuing and discussion systems. .

More interesting things are on the gameplay side of the report. The stimulus system will be accelerated and adjusted to "feel less clumsy", and ammunition stocks for some weapons will be adjusted. The V1 Rocket and Churchill Crocodile Tank reinforcements will be modified (apparently the V1 was a bit too powerful), as well as the "Time to Kill" [TTK] which, according to EA, "polarized the feedback" of the players of the alpha.

"Do not forget that the TTK is not only determined by the power of the weapons, but also by the speed with which the game reacts to a shot," EA writes. "We're looking at how quickly you can assess a threat and understand where the fire is coming from." By giving you good communication about enemy fire, you'll be able to defend yourself and survive longer. This happens when you are hit and if these adjustments are not enough, we will try to fine tune the damage of the weapons. "

The evolution of the game is interesting, but of course, the good things are in the end." There will be several other tests of Battlefield 5 – internal and external – before the launch of October, and we will use our knowledge of the first Alpha to test and refine the experience, "writes EA." There will also be a new version of Battlefield 5 at Gamescom, and then there will be open beta in early September, thanks again. to help us make Battlefield 5 the best possible. "

Battlefield 5 will be released Oct. 11 for Origin Access subscribers, Oct. 16 for Deluxe Edition owners and Oct. 19 for all others.
