Haven't tried the Battlefield 1 beta yet? If you've been slow on the draw, you may want to get a move on, as DICE has confirmed that the technical test ends on Thursday, 8th September. For those out of the loop, you can find the beta on the PlayStation Store right now and download it for free.
If you want to see what's in store, our very own Alex Stinton took to the trenches last week and recorded his findings - you can click through here and give his archived livestream a watch. It's full of guns and tanks and... all that Battlefield stuff.
Have you given the beta a whirl? Try not to get trampled in the comments section below.

Didant think the Beta was going for so long.
I gave it a good whirl and really wanted to like it after being blown away by the trailers but I just couldn't get into it at all.I went into it knowing it wasn't going to be anything like Call Of Duty but seriously?in the few games I had I got a total of two kills!Sorry but think I'll go back to COD with my tail between my legs..
I've personally had a blast so far. Love the setting, the slower weapons and just the little improvements they've made in places. There's obviously still bugs and glitches present but this is a BETA. Don't make a judgement on the final game with bugs and glitches you see in the beta. Not how it works!
Next time please keep your opinions of other users to yorself. Thanks -Tasuki-
@daveofduncan I wasn't slating it at all! I think it looks amazing and can see why it has a huge fan base and to be honest I never came across any bugs and thought it was a good beta.
Sure I suck at the multiplayer..alot and if the game was going to be online only I'd say yeah it's not for me and not buy it but I'll probably still get it for the single player at some point.
I'm glad they took it back in time for this one. I also much prefer Battlefield's gameplay compared to COD's. Battlefield is definitely, in my opinion, the superior FPS franchise. Nothing beats Conquest and the more realistic gun physics the series has compared to other FPS games.
@Wazeddie22 That's fair enough, I've never really played much Call of Duty except for when I'm at my friends' houses, and whilst this beta has been my first taste of battlefield gameplay, I much prefer the style of battlefield over CoD. I think, to me, it's just that CoD is far too arcadey for me (I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I just personally don't enjoy it), with it being very fast paced, and it tends to be you kill someone as soon as you see them. The tactics and vehicles in battlefield tend to be more to my tastes, and in general I just enjoy the feel of the game more. I still can't quite put my finger on why though!
I would love to give this a go but I've been getting ping spikes on my connection again so any multiplayer game is out of the question
Gameplay is great but the menu is horrendous. I hope this is fixed at launch as i dare press the option button whilst on this game
This game seems to be appealing to the OG Battlefield 1942 fans.......I understand why some of the graduated COD to BF4 fans are upset,.....but good taste just isn't for everybody.
I just didnt like it... It really felt like Battlefront all over again...
I got it and played for a while yesterday. I will just stick to Battlefront.
Yeah people make the mistake of putting COD and BF in the same basket. COD is pretty much run and gun, while BF is more tactical, more atmospheric and less arcadey IMO.
Im really enjoying the WWI setting. Seems more skill is involved then just spraying automatic weapons all over the place and shooting lock-on rockets. From what I've played so far the atmosphere is perfect. The visuals, the sound, the sandstorms, all set the mood.
Can't wait for the full release as I've always enjoyed the BF series. Plus the rumour of an ANZAC Cove map has me excited as my great grandfather fought there in WWI. Bring on October 21!
@BranJ0 Yes,arcadey,that's exactly what I'd call the Call Of Duty games,so not offended by that.That's partly why I really wanted to get into Battlefield,it's different and much more realistic,plus as I gave up on cod since it became too futuristic,this obviously caught my attention as its exactly the setting I'm after.Unfortunately skill and tactics is obviously something I lack that's why I suck at the multiplayer..then again I sucked bad at my first try at a cod game,so who knows,if I buy the game anyway for the campaign I still may get into it yet
Man I've had a blast with, it love the way it plays , weapons feel nice , and really lives up to the grirty combat feel. Only thing is the map is starting to get stale , wish theyd throw in another map four the last 4 days or so.
Meh, it's decent. Sounds great, looks good but expecting big graphical improvements before launch, distances need to be worked on but it's definitely an hours worth of fun!
Playing it. Loving it. It's Battlefield. Nuff said.
I tried it and liked the setting, loved the graphics, the game play though, I wasn't a fan of. I know a big part of it is having people you can group with which I do not and that's a deal breaker for me.
If you want more realistic then try Verdun.Not for graphics but for feel and atmosphere of being in the trenches
Really like the Beta I just hope they put bullet drop in the main game as it's non existent in the beta. The only thing's I dislike are bayonet charging and the Battlfront style pickup's, those 2 thing's scream 2016 casualisation but apart from that i've had a blast. Really suprised tbh because I really wasn't expecting much after watching video's, I expected a BFH in a WW1 setting. Also the Pre order package disgust's me, an extra £15 for 3 day's early access when Xbox get it about 5 day's early because they are allowed EAaccess which is £4.99 a month. Didn't Sony say they didn't want PS4 user's to use EAaccess because it wasn't value for money!!?? EAaccess would of saved me £10 and got me 5 day's early access I see your logic again Sony only make's sense to your pocket's.
