The Battlefield 1 beta servers are getting DDoS'ed by some script kiddies.I figured I'd let you know in case you were wondering why you couldn't play the now open to everyone Battlefield 1 beta. This attack also seems to be impacting other EA games regardless of platform.
It seems as though the attacks shifted off of Blizzard and on to EA at some point earlier this afternoon. Blizzard, if you didn't know, has been dealing with a number of DDoS attacks for the past week or so now.
One thing i did notice in the options was that, once again, the FOV slider will be limited to multiplayer only, this will be the 5th Battlefield game in a row which has no single player FOV options... which is a joke. Other DICE games include Mirror's Edge where you had to edit an ini file, but resort back to default if you wanted to use a sniper rifle, and Mirror's Edge Catalyst which has an FOV slider! Unfortunately that technological revelation didn't last.
Fans made a hack for BF3 to fix that FOV, but haven't been able to correct any of the games since.
The answer of course is probably "It was designed for consoles", so what's funny is that consoles are getting the FOV slider this time too, but will also not affect single player :P.
It stuns me, developers have said in the past that single player campaigns are the most expensive, time consuming aspect of making a game which also has multiplayer, so why not have the setting which actually makes it playable?
