An FPS Server guide for developers It's not rocket science and to be honest, most if not all of these features have been around for some time. However we keep seeing new games released, with a lot of these basic features missing. Click here to view the list of features we've been asking for since 2001
Please use this thread to leave feedback or be part of the continued discussion on what admins need to run a successful game server.
DICE has launched a limited alpha test for Battlefield 4 today. Select PC gamers should find an email invitation waiting for them in their inbox. The invite, as posted on NeoGAF, says that testers were selected because of their "experience with the Battlefield series." There's no definitive requirement, though, so don't expect an invitation just because you've been playing Battlefield for years. It sounds like only a very small number of invites were sent out. Electronic Arts has released the minimum specs for this alpha build. According to those specs, Battlefield 4 alpha build won't support Windows 8 or 32bit OS systems. Of course, I don't know whether the final build will have these restrictions, but as far as I know DICE wanted to release games that would be exclusive to 64-bit OS systems. Battlefield 4's alpha phase will last 14 days, and as the company revealed, a beta testing phase will be launched at the end of August of all platforms.
Here are the minimum specs for Battlefield 4 Alpha Build:
-OS: Vista SP2, Win7 (Win8 not supported)
-64 bit (32 bit not supported)
-Dx10 or Dx 11 GPU with 1+GB of RAM, Dx 11 highly recommended
-25GB HDD free space required
-Latest Origin version required
MD is the co-designer of Microsoft's system-on-a-chip hardware inside the Xbox One console. However, when it came to showing off upcoming Xbox One games at E3 2013, it looks like Microsoft had PCs running those demos with hardware provided by another company. The first word of this came from long time game journalist Julian Rignall, who posted word via Twitter on something that happened when he played an Xbox One game at E3 this week.
I just played an Xbox One game using an Xbox One controller that crashed... to a Windows 7, Hewlet Packard-branded desktop. Magic!
Welcome to the chaotic and devastated world of Tom Clancy's The Division. It has been 3 weeks since a deadly pandemic hit New York city on Black Friday...
Can't say I'm a fan of 3rd person shooters, or the Tom Clancy games of late but this looks interesting.
DICE general manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson confirmed to PC Gamer at E3 that Battlefield 4 will not support mods. Troedsson caveated that user-generated content is something that DICE finds very interesting, and that its something the studio has been talking about at a high level.
PCG: Is there any chance of Battlefield 4 being moddable?
Karl-Magnus Troedsson, DICE GM: We get that question a lot. I always answer the same thing, and then the community calls me bad names. We get the feedback, we understand it. We also would like to see more player-created content, but we would never do something like this if we feel we couldnt do this 100 percent. That means we need to have the right tools available, we need to have the right security around this regarding what parts of the engine we let loose, so to say. So for BF4 we dont have any planned mod support, I have to be blunt about saying that. We dont.

Bohemia Interactive has confirmed the Arma 3 beta will be released on June 25.
The beta will include some new weapons, a few new vehicles and a new independent faction.
Quote :
Additions will include new arsenals and vehicles to test and new scenarios that include a co-op and multi-team, wave-based defense scenario. Additionally, a new Independent faction consisting of a military native to Altis and Stratis was mentioned. You know, in case you were tired of Blufor and Opfor.
Another change is that uploading player-created missions to Steam Workshop will be directly integrated into the Arma 3 mission editor, which should streamline things a bit. This isnt necessarily going to be available during the beta, but it is a confirmed feature. Eventually.
Not sure everyone has Premium - but free is good if not & downloading it now (see code below)
