Battlefield 4's Search & Destroy Gamemode is Called "Defuse"

During Gamescom, DICE revealed a new game mode that will be shipping with Battlefield 4 called "Obliteration", where one team has to deliver a bomb to the opposing team's base. A gametype we already see in most shooters.

An update to the Battlelog Blog reveals yet another game mode that is set to be released on launch. It's called "Defuse" and it's going to sound pretty familiar.

I'm sure it'll play out different with BF4's mechanics. I just hope it doesn't turn into a campfest.

A 64 player mode of S&D? This could actually turn out really interesting :)

you know...... this game mode was before Cod and their Search & Destroy. it was called Counter Stike.
and its still a better game IMO. tho im looking forward for BF4, already pre-ordered on origin :D

after much thinking. i cant see this gamemode be that good with the float that BF3 had. hope they fix it.
BF have never really been fast pase and few hit kills.

maybe it can work if they have made the aiming better than BF3, smoother and faster with no aim smoothing.
and if they make Headshots more of a must in this game mode it a go from me :D

THATS EXACTLY WHAT ITS GOING TO TURN INTO!! I love Battlefield and their games, but this mode will be stupid... "Respawn after 1 round" type games went out of style with Socom... People camping to not get killed will be garbage.... C'mon DICE.. you guys can do better than this..

Are_The_MaDNess3895d ago

it can work great if done right. not the many campers in CS on the Defuse missions. tho there is some. obv, there is more on the timer in that game tho.

if BF4 has a short timer on it and not like COD then it will work just fine.
if people camp they have to move at the end or they will lose the game.

uhh 85% of people will be playing Conquest or it's = in BF4, so relax dude.

DeadlyFire3894d ago

Out of style? CS is still better replay value than the last COD and BF3. Sure they are all fun. 1 life per round is the way some gametypes should always work. It would never work with conquest mode. Something like this it could be manageable.

dcj05243894d ago

Counter-strike and socom are one of the best online shooters period. There is a reason for that.

JackStraw3894d ago

you named two games but said "one of". what?

Socom also had neutral demolition. COD definitely did not invent this mode. Counter Strike was probably the first to introduce it.

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.

-Foxtrot759d ago

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

gamesftw250758d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface758d ago

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

PapaBop758d 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.

Inverno758d 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

XiNatsuDragnel759d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps758d ago

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

Pudge102888758d ago (Edited 758d 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

pr33k33758d 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.

Pudge102888758d 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_D3TH758d 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.
