Battlefield 4: Four Ways to Restore Recon

"By now, you have most likely seen the explosive and beautifully detailed Battlefield 4 reveal trailer. While the action-packed footage was entertaining, my focus remained set on Battlefield’s true focus: multiplayer. Having been a fan of the series since the debut of Battlefield 1942 over a decade ago, I've come to know and love the ever-developing formula of this popular competitive FPS. That doesn't mean I’m completely satisfied with DICE’s modifications over the years though. The most recent entry, Battlefield 3, left a majority of Recon players unhappy. DICE attempted to take the lone wolf sniper and make him/her the most team-oriented player on the field, but the result was the complete castration of the class. Here are some ways that Battlefield 4 can return the sniper to its former glory." - JPS

So, to sum it up, bring back the recon class from Bad Company 2.

xc7x4032d ago

totally agree with the both of you. recon (in BF3) was the worse class in the game,if not the worse of any modern shooter game i've played.

trenso14032d ago

just bring back the bc2 class more or less at least the motion sensor ball let them call in mortars again i think was fair, they couldn't spam it cause of the cool down unlike support in bf3 and it was a deterrent so people wouldnt run right into mortar fire

Clarence4032d ago

Yes sir calling in mortars was excellent.

Ace_Pheonix4032d ago

Yeah, I feel like there's nothing wrong with Recon class. Granted, most people that play it only try to get really really long headshots (and really, we've all done that a few times) all round long, but the tools that Recon has are really really useful, and if you play the class right it's pretty great. Granted, I'll always favor Engineer over everything just because I love that playstyle best, but I use all the classes effectively depending on what is required at the particular time in the round.

oof464032d ago

The writer does have a point. In Bf3, the recon's gadgets are solely reliant on whether his team uses them or not. Every other class allows for independent play.

ChipChipperson4032d ago

I hated how all those SOFLAM lock-ons I got went to waste.

LycanSoldier4032d ago

I liked the BF3 Recon, they had a lot of stuff going for them.

Motion Sensors.
Sniping from far away.
Semi-Auto Rifles compared to Assaults at mid-range.

The only change I would make is a slight buff on the OHK range of bolt actions.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot749d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250748d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface748d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop748d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno748d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel749d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps748d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33748d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888748d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH748d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
