The much awaited Community Test Environment of “Battlefield 1” for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is finally available. DICE also revealed the download sizes for the consoles as well as the regions where it is currently available.
CTE
The Community Test Environment, also known as CTE, is an environment in the popular first person shooter game, “Battlefield 1” where participants can help the developer in testing out the upcoming contents of the game. Among the stuff that can be found in the game’s CTE includes improved/tweaked content, new features, and other things that are not yet available for public release.
This is also the place where balance changes, fixes, new weapons, and maps are made available prior to their official release in the game’s live servers. In turn, the game developer collects data and asks for feedback on the contents through the CTE Subreddit. The game’s Community Test Environment allows the game developer to share with the participating players the development process. This is also one way of getting feedback early prior to the official release. Moreover, the CTE is designed to enhance the overall gaming experience.
