Re: Cant play battlefield 5 at all.

@TXWolf25 The servers are down because the beta is over. There is no working version of any BFv variant available to the public at the moment...which is exactly what is meant to be happening. This is not an error or bug or anything like that. Also, the alpha has been and gone. It is not the same thing as the final release. The run up to final game goes something like this.

1. Closed alpha (invite only testing, early design stage, limited playable content)
2. Updates and bug fixes made (game not playable by public during this stage)
3. Closed alpha 2 (again, invite only but more people invited, 2nd alpha doesn't always happen but did in this case)
4. More updates/fixes (again, not playable by public)
5. Open beta (anyone can play, no need for an invite. Still test stage so still limited content but more than the alpha stage)
6. Yep you guessed it, more updates/fixes (and yes, again, public can't play during this phase)
7. Final release of the game. (People that have bought the game can now play, people that haven't can't. Obviously there continues to be updates and fixes but the game is officially out of test stage)

There may be a second beta test before final release but there's not been any mention of it. There wasn't any mention of the second alpha test though so you never know. The fact that they pushed back the final release date might support this theory but we can only speculate at the moment.

    Could it be a server issue they need to fix or do you think it’ll be like this for us on launch as well because I have EA access too.
