This game should have a Community Test Environment (CTE)

One of the best things about Battlefield 4 and eventually Battlefield 1 was the creation of a CTE. It helped bridge the gap between the community and DICE. It allowed the community to give their opinions on maps, weapons, balance, modes, and changes made by DICE. It also allows DICE to interact with the community more often. I really see no negative repercussions on having a CTE. Thoughts?

But but CTE to work well requires server browser.

DICEfront + server browser? Is that possible?

I believe a server browser could be implemented into to this game but that's really all up to DICE.

or it could be an additional tab at the menu CTE and can queue up similarly for x playlist/gamemode.

I dont know why they haven't pushed a CTE for this game.

After the huge fuck up in BF4, I thought that DICE found a formula that worked. CTE probably is one of the things that made BF4 as great as it is. Not only was alot of the bugs squished before it made it to live server, we got a bunch of neat little changes that happened due to the community's involvement with the CTE.

battlefront, for it to survive as long as Battlefield 4, needs a CTE and a Dev that puts as much love into it as they did for BF4.

The main game is the CTE, but where 50% of all feedback is ignored.

Isn't that just like a slightly better version of the PTR?

It's like the same thing

I don't really know much about World of Warcraft so I wouldn't know.

Overwatch has a PTR

Oh, then I guess it's something Blizzard does with their games.

Maybe if this was considered a flagship game. but...

Yeah so they can ruin this game too with CTE.

MativeousOP•

What do you mean?

Khronikos•

Because BF1 is getting all messed up with CTE changes that the community really doesn't need or want. Battlefield 1 had too much CTE going on and not enough good balancing from the devs based on their play.

But remember the awesome turn-around that was heligoland, TTK patch, Apoclypse overhaul, ect. CTE helped make BF1 soooo much better

Unfortunately, it is not really feasible. While both games are made by DICE, using the same engine and all, Battlefield has a history, and therefore a community behind it, whom are willing to test and help, even if its only restricted to Premium members.

Battlefront has not reached that stage yet, while this subreddit is active, the majority of Star Wars players are your casual "come back home for one game" type.

Hopefully, with Battlefront 2, this changes, especially if they do indeed intend to support it until 2019 or more.
