'Battlefield 1' Launches Non-Public Test Servers; Developer DICE Will Choose CTE Players Soon
Regin OlimberioCommunity Test Environments is coming to "Battlefield 1" PC version to generate ideas from fans. Developer DICE said that the decision to make CTE open can help the whole franchise grow into a responsive and player-sensitive game.
To recall, CTE are staples for "Battlefield 1" predecessors and helped a lot in turning the game into something that players themselves want. CTE are basically servers where some contents have not yet released publicly. Of course, there are glitches and bugs in most of them, but that's the idea - polish these contents through the public's reactions.
DICE's website stressed that not all CTE contents might see the public version of "Battlefield 1." It is because that CTE is more like a "recycling shop" where some could be used while others are discarded. At any rate, the planned server will host improved, changed and experimental contents.
CTE is not unique to the "Battlefield" franchise. Other top AAA games like "Tom Clancy's The Division" and "Overwatch" have also deployed their own feedback-driven servers. These mechanisms are the culprit behind changes on publicly announced updates or DLCs.
Meanwhile, not all "Battlefield 1" players are eligible for entry to CTE. Developers said that they will pick from veteran players and community members with good track records, according to GameSpot. The general public can still try their luck by registering through the companion app for PC and mobile.
Another requisite is being a premium pass holder. From there, lucky CTE entrants can start in their review on PC. There is also a good chance that DICE will make "Battlefield 1" test servers open for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in the future, but nothing is tangible yet.
Lastly, the first expansion DLC "They Shall Not Pass" is already scheduled for a March release. DICE teased that this paid content offers a new mode, four maps and more weapons.
