Battlefield 1 will allow PC players to rent servers – and it’s expensive

Like its predecessors, Battlefield 1 will allow players to rent servers for them, their friends, and others to play on - and it's expensive.

S2Killinit2775d ago

anyway they can squeeze more out of gamers. No thanks EA.

Muzikguy2774d ago

Prices must have been going up because I've noticed a drop in servers with recent games. I know I wouldn't pay that. Not sure what EA is thinking

UCForce2774d ago

59.99$ for 90 days ? Jesus Christ EA.

Gaming_Cousin2774d ago

EA will keep pushing gamers until gamers dont buy their crap and then they will settle at a price slightly lower than the threshole. Greedy bastards should get fined

Psychotica2774d ago

Now why didn't you say Satan EA?

Dasteru2774d ago

Effectively $20/month to rent out a private server. Not expensive at all. Anyone who has ever rented a server for anything before will tell you that is actually quite cheap.

Koopdogg2774d ago (Edited 2774d ago )

Not at all ,especially if your in a clan and everyone chips in,its comes to buttons you have to pay !!!

My only concern is to what server functions or lack of maybe have EA allowed for admins to use!

_-EDMIX-_2774d ago

Well seeing what they do with Battlefield 4 they give a good wealth of options.

I'm actually okay with them allowing Gamers to have this option as it's actually better than nothing. I mean I don't plan to spend anything on a server when I get it on PC but I at least like to know but the game can continue to live on through those rented servers if Gamers feel just

SuperbVillain2774d ago

oh wow didnt 90 days used to be $40?

wannabe gamer2774d ago

thats not expensive, look at server costs for most other pc games and this is a freaking deal

UCForce2774d ago

What about 59.99$ of 90 days renting ? Battlefield 4 Renting was 40$.

wannabe gamer2774d ago

on pc it cost 80+ to rent a bf4 server right now today. console plebs are so spoiled and cry like babies lmao
dayz server is about 90$. Ark server is 70 a month. no matter what you say 59 a month is still cheaper than any other game out there per slot.

SuperbVillain2774d ago (Edited 2773d ago )

not compared to what they had in place before

@trunkz jr I should have clarified, i was talking about the console version

Trunkz2774d ago

I dunno if people are comparing console prices, but for PC these prices are insanely awesome (assuming the quality will be good). From Multiplay 70 slots is $85 for just 1 month, compared to (what is being said here) just $25.

That's a huge price difference, as long as they provide proper admin tools to kick/ban, rename, obvious settings, I have no problem with this change tho i could see many providers being angry.

DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 1 In The Next Game

For DICE to succeed with its next game, it has to return to the roots of the franchise. Atmospheric map design, clear and defined class-based gameplay, attention to detail, and total chaos. Battlefield 1 feels like every rock, every glint on your sniper rifle, every falling brick from a collapsing church, has been painstakingly considered. So much care went into the design of the game, from its soundtrack to its costume department. To stand a chance alongside the behemoths of Treyarch and Infinity Ward, DICE needs to recapture what made their old games so brilliant, otherwise it’s all over.

"DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 3 In The Next Game"

/Fixed

...on a serious note, DICE needs to remove the Battlefield name.

isarai554d ago

Eh, bfbc2 was the peak for me, only ad dogfighting and the accommodations that come with it. Every BF after that was such an unsatisfying progression system for weapons and gear for the classes, 90% of the guns feel exactly the same when you unlock them, just felt boring in comparison. Not to mention the gimped destruction as the series progressed

Sciurus_vulgaris554d ago

I found Battlefield 1 to be overrated. The gameplay was simpler and less strategic than its predecessors. Battlefield 1 did have a woo-factor, but the gameplay got repetitive faster than Battlefield 4 in my opinion.

porkChop554d ago

If DICE needs to return to the roots of the franchise then why would they look at Battlefield 1? BF1 is overly simplified and streamlined. What DICE should focus on is Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. Those two games were the pinnacle of the franchise.

TheEnigma313554d ago

BC2 was the best. they need to get back to that.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot785d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250784d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface783d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop784d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno784d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel785d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps784d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33784d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888784d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH784d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

Grabbed Panzer Dragoon, the Darkness, Conker Reloaded, Burnout Revenge, Time Splitters 2, Fight Night Champions, and Stuntman Ignition.

Essentially some of the classics that I can't get on PC, now that I have a Series S.
