Battlefield 4 is a first-person shooter video game.
Developed by: DICE.
Published by Electronic Arts.

WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY TEST ENVIRONMENT?
The Community Test Environment (CTE) is a PREMIUM Membership access Battlefield 4 environment where involved players can help us test new features, improved/changed content and experiments that aren't yet (and may never be) ready for public release.

WHY DO WE HAVE THE CTE?
We want to open up our development process to our players, get feedback earlier and keep improving the Battlefield experience.
The earlier we can get player feedback and full 64 player servers testing our latest features - the better off we're going to be.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
With regular intervals a new CTE-initiative will be posted by our developers as a news-item.
Usually this initiative controls which servers are up and running, and what game-modes are available to play at any given time.
Since we need to simulate the retail environment as much as possible and need telemetry from full servers - the number of servers available will be limited.
We will use the CTE Forums to gather feedback and suggestions during an active initiative - posting follow ups and comments to design & feature decisions as we go.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?
First, you need an active Battlefield 4 PC-account with PREMIUM. Then you need to register using your existing Origin login.
Once registered, you download and install the CTE client from Origin - and you are all set!

Initiative #1: Netcode patch 4

PATCH CONTENTS
This patch includes:

- Added netcode high frequency kill switches to disable feature if server performance goes below a certain limit.
- Changed the way FOV slider option works -- the UI now correctly displays vertical FOV.
- Improved the Uniform Soldier aiming based on CTE player feedback.
- Added Jet 3P rear view camera.
- Implemented FOV slider for vehicle 3P chase camera (option).
- Potential fix for Hardcore killcard not showing up properly.
- Visual fix for weapon sticking out of ragdoll and rotating wierdly.
- Save file location has been separated from BF4 folder:
Previous loadouts are now reset -- you will have to set them up on the CTE again. The setting used on the CTE will not overwrite the retail game settings anymore.
- Obliteration Competitive fixes:
Fixed an issue where on some maps players would be invulnerable, tweaked some map layouts, and now the round won't end if a bomb is planted and time has expired.
