Community Test Environment

The Community Test Environment (CTE) is a feature that was introduced in Battlefield 4 on PC. The feature was developed by DICE to get feedback directly from the players themselves and adjust gameplay accordingly in response to the numerous issues that plagued Battlefield 4 after release.

The feature puts players in a completely separate version of Battlefield 4, requiring players to create new soldiers in order to participate. As such, gamplay within the CTE does not affect a players soldier in the actual game. While CTE is only available on PC, DICE plans to eventually implement changes to all platforms. CTE is currently on available for Premium players due to limited space though DICE plans to make it available to all PC players in the future.
