BF6 CTE
Will there be a Community Test Environment for the upcoming Battlefield? You know before a change goes live... jack things up and upsets the community. 😇👿
BF6 has not been announced so there's no information regarding any CTE but I guess that's not the point of this thread. This thread looks more like a request to include a CTE 😉
It might be an advisable request, while I also wonder what other players opinion about it is.
I'm kinda hoping for a game that probably can't really have a CTE.
Hoping for something DICE has never really pulled off. A true live service game. A game where stats, bugs with achievements, dogtags and currency + other weird rewards do not get in the way. A game where the engine is robust enough that when something goes wrong not too many things break. I want the developers to daily tweak weapon balance, vehicle balance, map balance, ALL THE BALANCES and then WHEN somethings breaks it's fine, they'll tweak and fix it further the next day until it's right. Does a developer think some extra cover in a certain part of a map is going to improve things? - add it, test it for a couple of days. Have a half finished map? Test it, if people fall through the map it will be fun!
That's what I think could be fun, have not really played something like so will be hard to tell. One thing I do know is that it will get a lot of complaints; from people having their favorite weapon nerfed or their favorite map having a house added where they like to camp with their tank. Will probably also be hard to do on consoles do to Sony and Microsoft QA needing to approve any patches.
In short, if things are going to break make it into a fun feature.
More frequent changes, is still far better than waiting 1 years for a DLC/bug fix that does not fix anything looking at you revive trap in BF2.

Call the next game anything you want but it will NEVER be Battlefield again.
Whilst I agree that this could lead to frequent changes due to the whims of the vocal minority that week, the ability to FIX genuinely broken aspects is desirable.
Any change should be given a minimum amount of time before a change is even co template in order for it to 'bed in'.
BFV saw too many 'knee *' changes reversions.
