Battlefield iv is a 2013 beginning-person shooter video game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. The game was released in October and November for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation four, and Xbox I, and is the sequel to 2011's Battlefield 3, taking place six years after during the fictional "War of 2020".

Battlefield 4 was met with positive reception for its multiplayer mode, gameplay and graphics, but was criticized for its unmarried-player campaign and for numerous bugs and glitches in the multiplayer. Information technology was a commercial success, selling over seven million copies.[4]

Gameplay [edit]

The game's heads-up display (HUD) is equanimous of ii compact rectangles. The lower left-hand corner features a mini-map and compass for navigation, and a simplified objective notice above information technology; the lower right includes a meaty ammo counter and health meter. The top correct displays kill notifications of all players in-game. On the Windows version of the game, the acme left features a chat window when in multiplayer. The mini-map, also as the main game screen, shows symbols denoting three kinds of entities: blue for allies, greenish for squadmates, and orange for enemies, this applies to all interactivity on the battlefield. Battlefield 4 options also allow colour-blind players to change the on-screen colour indicators to: tritanomaly, deuteranomaly and protanomaly.

Weapon customisation is expansive and encouraged. Chief, secondary and melee weapons tin all be customised with weapon attachments and camouflage 'skins'. About weapons also have a default setting for unlike firing modes (e.m. semi-automatic, automated burn), allowing the player to suit to the environment they find themselves in. They can "spot" targets (marking their positions to the player's squad) in the single-player campaign (a outset in the Battlefield franchise) as well as in multiplayer. The game's bullet-dropping-organization has been significantly enhanced, forcing the player to change the way they play medium to long altitude combat. In improver, players accept more gainsay capabilities, such as countering melee attacks from the front while standing or crouching, shooting with their sidearm while swimming, and diving underwater to avoid enemy detection. Standard combat abilities are still current including, reloading whilst sprinting, unlimited sprint, prone and vaulting.

Entrada [edit]

The single-role player campaign has several differences from the main multiplayer component. For the most part, the role player must traverse mini-sandbox-style levels, in some cases using vehicles, similar tanks and boats, to traverse the surroundings. Equally the role player grapheme, Recker, the thespian can utilise two campaign-only functions: the Engage command and the tactical binocular. The Engage command directs Recker's squadmates, and occasionally other friendly units, to attack any hostiles in Recker's line of sight. The tactical binocular is similar to a laser-designator, in the sense that it allows the player to identify friendly and enemy units, weapon stashes, explosives, and objectives in the field. Past identifying enemies, the role player can brand them visible without using the visor, making them easier to marker for their teammates. At 1 point, Recker will briefly lose the tactical visor, forcing them to simply use the Engage command to direct his squadmates on a limited number of enemies.[5] [six]

The campaign features assignments that require specific deportment and unlock weapons for utilize in multiplayer upon completion. Collectible weapons return along with the introduction of collectible dog tags which tin exist used in multiplayer. Weapon crates are constitute throughout all levels, allowing players to obtain ammo and switch weapons. While crates agree default weapons, collectible weapons may be used whenever they are caused and level-specific weapons may be used once a specific mission assignment has been completed by obtaining enough points in a level.[5] [6]

Battlefield iv 's multiplayer contains three playable factions—the U.s., China, and Russia—fighting against each other, in up to 64-thespian matches on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One (24-Player on Xbox 360 and PS3). A newly reintroduced "Commander Mode", last seen in Battlefield 2142, gives one player on each squad a existent-fourth dimension strategy-similar view of the entire map and the power to requite orders to teammates. Also, the Commander can detect the battle through the eyes of the players on the battlefield, deploying vehicle and weapon drops to "go along the war machinery going", and order in missile strikes on hostile targets.[vii] [8] A spectator mode is included, enabling players to spectate others in first or tertiary person, every bit well as use a free camera to pan around the map from whatever angle.

On June x, 2013, at E3, DICE featured the map "Siege of Shanghai", pitting the People'southward Liberation Army against the U.S. Marine Corps. The gameplay showcased Commander Style; new weapons and vehicles; and the "Levolution" gameplay mechanic. The video displays the last of these at various points, including: a actor destroying a support colonnade to trap an enemy tank above it; and a large skyscraper (with an in-game objective on the summit flooring) collapsing in the center of the map, kicking up a massive dust cloud throughout the map and bringing the objective closer to ground level.[nine] Levolution also includes effects such as shooting a burn extinguisher to make full the room with obscuring clouds, car alarms going off when stepped on, metal detectors going off once passed through, or cutting the power in a room to reduce others' visibility.[ix] [ten]

The maps included in the principal game are "Siege of Shanghai", "Paracel Storm", "Zavod 311", "Lancang Dam", "Inundation Zone", "Rogue Manual", "Hainan Resort", "Dawnbreaker", "Performance Locker" and "Golmud Railway".[xi] [12] The game modes on offer include Battlefield 's Conquest, Domination and Rush; while adding two new game modes called Obliteration and Defuse, along with traditional game modes such every bit Team Deathmatch and Squad Deathmatch.[12] [13]

The 4 kits from Battlefield three are nowadays in Battlefield 4 with small tweaks. The Assail kit must now wait for the defibrillator to recharge subsequently reviving teammates in quick succession. The Engineer kit uses PDWs, and carbines are available to all kits. The back up kit has access to the new remote mortar and the XM25 allowing for indirect suppressive fire. The Recon kit is now more mobile and is able to equip carbines, designated marksman rifles (DMRs), and C4. Sniping mechanics also give with the power to null in your sights (set an aiming distance), and equip more optics and accessories than previous Battlefield games. The Recon kit is withal able to utilise the MAV, T-UGS, and the Radio Beacon.[14] [15] [sixteen] [17]

New vehicles accept also been introduced. With the add-on of the Chinese faction, new vehicles include the Type 99 MBT, the ZFB-05 armored auto, and the Z-10W attack helicopter. Jets have also been rebalanced and put into two classes, "attack" and "stealth". The attack jets focus is mainly air-to-footing capabilities, while stealth jets focus mainly on air-to-air combat. Some other vehicle added in Battleground iv is the addition of the RCB and DV-fifteen Interceptor attack boats, which function equally heavily armed aquatic attack craft.

Customization options accept besides been increased in Battleground 4, with all new camos available for every gun. A new "adaptive" camo has been introduced that can arrange the camo to the map being played without the player having to change camos every map.

Six years later the events in Battlefield three, a team of United states of america marines, codenamed "Tombstone" (consisting of Dunn, the squad'southward leader, Sergeant Recker, Irish gaelic, and Pac) attempts to escape from Republic of azerbaijan with vital intelligence virtually a potential military uprising in People's republic of china. After being trapped underwater in a car while beingness pursued by Russian special forces, Dunn, critically wounded and trapped, sacrifices himself by ordering the squad to break the windscreen and escape, leaving Recker in accuse of Tombstone.

Although the rescue is a success and Kovic takes the VIPs back to the USS Valkyrie, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, Tombstone becomes trapped in the city and is forced to rescue civilians confronting Pac's protests. Shortly subsequently returning to the Valkyrie, Garrison assigns Kovic as head of the squad, and sends them to the USS Titan, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier that had just been attacked, to recover its voyage data recorder before the wreckage sinks. Upon returning to the Valkyrie, Tombstone finds the ship under assault past Chinese Marines. The squad rescues Garrison and the VIPs, simply Kovic is fatally wounded and passes control of the squad to Recker. Learning that China's air force is grounded due to a storm, Garrison assigns Tombstone to assistance U.s. forces planning to set on the Chinese-controlled Singapore airfield to weaken Chinese air superiority. Hannah volunteers to bring together Tombstone on their mission, much to Irish's chagrin.

Despite the airfield beingness destroyed by a missile strike, Pac is separated from Tombstone during evacuation and assumed killed in the boom. Hannah then ostensibly betrays Recker and Irish gaelic, allowing both to be captured by Chinese soldiers. Both men are imprisoned in the Kunlun Mountains for interrogation under Chang'southward orders. In his cell, Recker finds himself befriended by a Russian prisoner named "Dima" (a survivor of the Paris nuclear boom, now suffering from radiations poisoning). The two escape from their cell, start a mass prison anarchism and use the anarchy to make their escape, with Recker rescuing Irish along the fashion. As the Chinese military arrives to quell the riot, Hannah prevents the group from existence recaptured by a group of soldiers. Although Irish mistrusts her, Hannah reveals her action was necessary for her mission, revealing her husband is in fact Jin Jié, who survived Chang's assassination attempt.

The group uses a tram to leave the mountains, simply for it to exist shot down past an enemy helicopter, killing Dima in the crash. Forced to brand their way down on foot with privation, the group somewhen finds a jeep and drives towards the United states-occupied city of Tashgar. During the journey, Hannah reveals how she lost her family unit to Chang'south men later on bringing Jin Jié to meet them, causing Irish to make apology with her for his behavior. Upon reaching Tashgar, the squad finds US troops being besieged past both Chinese and Russian forces, and offers assistance to the US commander by destroying a nearby dam, flooding the surface area and eliminating the opposing forces. Learning the Valkyrie is inside the region of the Suez Canal, Tombstone is airlifted to the ship, and arrives to warn the vessel that they are blindly heading towards Chang'southward navy. Stopping Chinese forces from boarding the ship, the squad soon finds Jin Jié amongst other survivors, including Pac (who had survived the events in Singapore).

Knowing he must show his confront, as Chinese forces had been fighting nether the supposition he was expressionless, Jin Jié convinces Recker to let him show his face and at-home tensions between the 3 forces. The assault quickly ends with Chinese soldiers offset to spread the news of Jin Jié's return. Chang, wanting to prevent this and conceal the truth, proceeds to barrage the Valkyrie with his personal warship.

Development [edit]

Electronic Arts president Frank Gibeau confirmed the company's intention to release a sequel to Battlefield 3 during a keynote at the University of Southern California where he said "There is going to exist a Battlefield 4".[29] Afterward, an EA spokesperson told IGN: "Frank was speaking broadly nigh the Battlefield brand—a brand that EA is deeply passionate near and a fan community that EA is committed to." On the eve of Battlefield 3 's launch, EA Digital Illusions CE told Eurogamer information technology was the Swedish studio's promise that information technology would one twenty-four hours become the opportunity to brand Battleground iv. "This feels like twenty-four hour period ane now," executive producer Patrick Bach said. "It's exciting. The whole Frostbite 2 thing has opened up a big landscape ahead of us so we can practice whatever nosotros want."[30]

Battlefield four is congenital on the new Frostbite 3 engine. The new Frostbite engine enables more realistic environments with college resolution textures and particle furnishings. A new "networked h2o" system is also existence introduced, allowing all players in the game to run across the same wave at the same time.[31] Tessellation has too been overhauled. An Alpha Trial commenced on June 17, 2013, with invitations randomly emailed to Battleground 3 players the day prior. The trial ran for ii weeks and featured the Siege of Shanghai map with all of its textures removed, essentially making it a "whitebox" test.[31] [32]

Due to mixed reception of the two-player Co-op Mode in Battlefield 3, DICE decided to omit the style from Battlefield 4 to focus on improving both the campaign and multiplayer components instead.[6] [33] [34]

AMD and Dice have partnered for AMD'southward Drapery API to exist used on Battlefield 4. The goal was to boost performance on AMD GCN Radeon graphic cards providing a higher level of hardware-optimized performance than was previously possible with OpenGL or DirectX.[35] Initial tests of AMD's Drapery showed information technology was an constructive enhancement for slower processors.[36]

Die released an Open Beta for the game that was available on Windows (64 bit only), Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It featured the game-modes Domination, Conquest and Obliteration which were playable on the map Siege of Shanghai. The Open Beta started on October 4, 2013, and ended on October 15, 2013.[37]

Technical bug and legal troubles [edit]

Upon release, Battlefield 4 was riddled with major technical bugs, glitches and crashes across all platforms. EA and Die soon began releasing several patches for the game on all systems and Die later revealed that work on all of its future games (including Mirror's Edge, Star Wars: Battlefront and Battlefield four DLC) would exist halted until Battlefield four was working properly.[38] [39] [forty] [41] [42] [43] In December 2013, more a month later the game's initial release, an EA representative said, "We know we withal have a means to go with fixing the game – it is absolutely our #1 priority. The team at DICE is working not-finish to update the game."[44]

EA President Peter Moore announced in January 2014 that the company did non run across whatever negative impact to sales as a result of the myriad technical problems. He said whatever negative impacts to sales were actually due to the transition from electric current-generation (PS3, Xbox 360) to next-generation consoles (PS4, Xbox I), and that other video game franchises like FIFA and Need for Speed were experiencing similar effects.[45] As a advantage for players who bought the game early and continued to play it despite all of the bugs and glitches, DICE rewarded players in February 2014 with all-month-long, free multi-actor content such as: bronze and silver Battlepacks, XP boosts and events, camouflage skins, shortcut bundles for weapons and additional content for Premium members.[46]

Because of the widespread bugs and glitches that were nowadays, EA became the target of multiple police force firms. The house Holzer Holzer & Fistel, LLC launched an investigation into EA's public statements fabricated between July 24 and December 4, 2013, to determine if the visitor intentionally misled its investors with information pertaining to, "the evolution and sales of the Company's Battlefield 4 video game and the game's affect on EA'southward revenue and projects moving forward."[47] Before long thereafter, the police force firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP similarly filed a class activity lawsuit confronting EA for releasing false or misleading statements most the quality of Battlefield four.[48] A 2nd grade action lawsuit was announced only days afterwards from the firm Bower Piven, which alleged that EA violated the Securities Substitution Act of 1934 past non properly informing its investors almost the major bugs and glitches during development that may have prevented the investors from making an informed determination nearly Battlefield 4. Bower Piven sought out investors who lost more than than The states$200,000 to get the lead plaintiff.[49] In October 2014, Approximate Susan Illston dismissed one of the form action suits' original case on the grounds that EA did not intentionally mislead investors, instead its pre-release claims well-nigh Battleground 4 were a "vague statement of corporate optimism," "an inactionable opinion" and "puffery."[50]

Six months afterwards the initial release of the game, in Apr 2014, DICE released a program called Community Examination Environment (CTE), which let a limited number of PC gamers play a unlike version of Battleground iv that was designed to examination new patches and updates before giving them a wide-release.[51] I of the major patches tested was an update to the game's netcode, specifically the "tickrate,"[51] which is how oftentimes the game and server would update, measured in cycles per 2d. Because of the size of Battlefield 4 in terms of information, Dice initially chose to have a low tickrate. However, the low tickrate resulted in a number of issues including damage registration and "trade kills." The CTE plan tested the game at a college tickrate, among other common issues,[51] [52] and began rolling out patches in mid-2014.[ citation needed ]

In Oct 2014, nearly a full year subsequently the official release with major updates still being put out, Dice LA producer David Sirland said the company acknowledged that the release of Battlefield 4 "admittedly" damaged the trust of the franchise'southward fanbase.[53] Sirland said that the shaky release of Battleground 4 caused the company to reevaluate their release model, and plan on being more transparent and offering before beta tests with future installments, namely (at the time) with Battlefield Hardline (2015). Sirland also said: "We nonetheless probably take a lot of players who won't trust us to deliver a stable launch or a stable game. I don't desire to say anything because I want to do. I want them to expect at what we're doing and what we are going to do and that would be my answer. I recollect we accept to do things to get them to trust us, not say things to get them to trust us. Prove past doing."[53]

Joystiq'southward David Hinkle said that the game "drops players into a sandbox and unhooks all tethers, loosing scores of soldiers to squad up and take down the opposition however they choose". Hinkle praised the campaign elements, but found the multiplayer to not hold any surprises.[88] GameZone 's Lance Liebl stated "Your success in Battlefield is upwards to you and how well you work as a team. And it's one of the most rewarding games I've played. Battlelog needs some refinement, and there's all the same way too many crashes, but the multiplayer more makes up for all of information technology."[92] Machinima's Lawrence Sonntag praised the Levolution feature and the multiplayer manner.[ninety]
