Battlefield 5 - Closed Alpha #2 begins on Aug 14th

Battlefield 5 - Closed Alpha #2 begins on Aug 14th

DICE and Electronic Arts have announced that the second closed alpha testing for Battlefield 5 will begin on August 14th. According to the teams, the second Closed Alpha is built directly from the first Closed Alpha and it will not contain any changes to the available maps, modes, weapons and vehicles. 

The focus of this test is player progression speed. DICE has made some changes that it thinks will better cater to players across all play styles and skill levels based on how fast players scored points, and how quickly they progressed through the ranks in the first Closed Alpha.

In our story about the lessons learned from the first Closed Alpha, we promised that there would be more opportunities for select players to get an early hands-on with Battlefield™ V before the October launch. Today, we're telling players all they need to know about Battlefield V Closed Alpha 2, set to start on August 14 and run for a limited time. This is a short play test and we will need as many invited players as possible to act fast and jump into our Closed Alpha servers in order to make it successful! Note that game content, gameplay mechanics, and other Battlefield V aspects covered in this article may change between the Closed Alpha and the game's launch.

Is the Closed Alpha the Same as the First Closed Alpha Build of Battlefield V?
The second Closed Alpha is built directly from the first Closed Alpha and it will not contain any changes to the available maps, modes, weapons and vehicles. However, there are a few important changes we want to evaluate with you. 

What Is Being Tested?
The focus of this test is player progression speed. We have made some changes that we think will better cater to players across all play styles and skill levels based on how fast players scored points, and how quickly they progressed through the ranks in the first Closed Alpha.

We’ve also made improvements to matchmaking and fixed issues related to joining squads. Gameplay aspects such as map, weapon, and vehicle balance are still being tested so that we can make sure matches are fun, fair, and reward skilled players. We are also assessing our new systems, like attrition and soldier movement, to find that gameplay sweet spot. On the technical side, we’re assessing Battlefield V in a live environment. Think, server stability, backend connectivity, and matchmaking.

Why Are You Doing a Closed Alpha?
On the heels of last month’s Closed Alpha and the lessons learned therein, it will be another opportunity for us to stress-test servers and improve several aspects of the game, thanks to the participation and feedback from those taking part. Each test and the resulting feedback will help ensure Battlefield V stability, balance, and more as we work our way towards the October launch. 

And while this is certainly a test of the game, the Closed Alpha is as much, if not more, about giving players a fun hands-on experience with Battlefield V. 

We’ve read and acted on much of the feedback that we received during the first Closed Alpha. You’ll get a better glimpse of those changes during our Open Beta period, but for Closed Alpha 2, we would like you to focus on the matchmaking, squad joining functionality, as well as simply playing as you normally would, so that we can evaluate our tweaked leveling curves.

Who Can Join the Closed Alpha?
The Battlefield V Closed Alpha is invite-only. It is designed for PC players, will be in English only, and will be available in these regions:

  • Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Great Britain, Georgia, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Ireland, Isle of Man, Iceland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Latvia, Moldova, Montenegro, Macedonia, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Sweden, Slovenia, Svalbard & Jan Mayen, Slovakia, Spain, San Marino, Turkey.
  • North America: Canada, Mexico, United States.
