Battlefield 1 open beta servers down, affecting all games

4.8

The EA servers are currently down affecting the Battlefield 1 open beta and it looks like it isn't just for the Battlefield 1 beta. There are server wide issues across multiple games. The servers were hit with a DDoS attack, so the servers might not be up for a few hours.

The official EA Support Tweeted out saying, EA is currently experiencing an outage. EA games, services & support may be impacted. We’re working to resolve as fast as possible."

but it's annoying to see one of the greatest games out there and they do this sort of stuff. The hackers are not gamers they said when KEEMSTAR interviewed them so this is why they like to do these sort of things. ...but who knows?

'Hackers' All there doing is putting stress on the Servers. DDosing is not hacking. They are not getting into the files and over riding them. Simple as that. Anyone can DDOS anyone if they have the right software. Of course, one person won't do much. Surely these guys do have strong computers and good internet to do this.

It's all the same. 'Were DDOSing for the community.' > 'Why does the community get mad when we force the servers they pay to play on???' Idiots. I say, Death penalty to anyone who does stuff like this. Not '5 years prison' crap. Maybe 20 years hard labor.

Really wish this stuff would stop happening. Hopefully they'll extend it per usual.

Ugh this is so annoying. The fact that some people don't have anything better to do scares me. Has a group been confirmed for this DDoS attack?
