I got in but literally took forever to download the client on PS4 so never got a chance to check it out. Will hopefully be able to do so over the next couple of days, although the new Dead Rising 3 DLC is amazingly fun so that may take precedence.

Anyone would think it was a beta ;)

I'd like to agree, but based on my past experience with betas from EA (including BF4), there's usually not many major changes from the beta build to the final. This game needs a huge overhaul to be any good IMO.

 

I would accept this as a $15-20 BF4 expansion like Vietnam from BC2, but a $60 game? no way!

Played it yesterday for about 20 minutes. Its the same old Battlefield with 2 new game modes, (cops vs robbers) at least that is how it plays out to me. 
Not impressed at all, won't be buying this.

The E3 craze and the beta and the sale mean you've probably just got a delay on the process. Mine took somewhere between four and eight hours to show up IIRC.

Almost certainly true - found the invite waiting (it was sent to me on Friday; I had registered as soon as I heard about it). I'm installing it as I type this.

Besides, it's still early (which is why only one map) - didn't Crysis 2 AND Crysis 3 have only one MP map each at first? (I was in both MP betas.)

 

I signed up with both my origin accounts (one is PC, the other Playstation/Xbox). No email yet with a download link/code though

 The link will be via your Origin client/account - no key needed. (The way betas SHOULD be on existing game services - Valve and Steam; take notice.)

 

Unfortunately, their login server is hammered :(.

 Of COURSE it's getting hammered - it's a Battlefield beta. The BF4 beta caused the same sort of hammerage - how soon we forget.

The odd part (for me) is that I actually have two existing Battlefield games to compare it to - with a grand total cost (to me) of zilch, thanks to previous EA promotions.

 

To me it just feels like a Free-To-Play version of Battlefield.

 That actually exists (Battlefield Play4Free) - however, that title is based on BF1942, which is now free itself.

If that is the case, rather cornball on EA's part, let alone the developer.

Seems more fitting as BF4 DLC. Not a seperate game.

I too am not impressed from the beta. It works, but it feels a bit sluggish compared to BF4 when running around and the new game modes dont really seem to work very well.

By which I mean 1 or 2 people actually know what to do, rest just faff about till the rounds over.

Cant see myself buying this full price or even buying it at all, yet.

    • Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine

      How can it beat a Steam machine without a serious GPU? The two CU iGPU only provides about 5fps in gaming. That's not going to make any gamer happy.
    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
