AusGamers caught up with Battlefield 4's creative director, Lars Gustavsson, who spoke at length about the new game modes being injected into the series' latest entry, specifically the purpose behind the new Defuse game mode.
"With Battlefield 4 we're trying to cater to competitive gaming," Lars told AusGamers. "We showed the new spectator mode broadcasting for three whole days from E3 -- and we got a huge response from that. We're also adding new modes, where we have Defuse -- a new small, tight game mode focused on five versus five competitive gaming, we also have Domination which we introduced late in the cycle of Battlefield 3 and we've brought it into the main package for BF4.
I think we are doing a lot of things to cater to players who might be afraid of the huge battlefields -- they like the tight infantry combat which many times caters for the competitive gamer," he added. "Still, if you want to do competitive games at 64 players plus two commanders on your next-gen console at 60 frames per second, you can."
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.
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.
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
Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.
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
if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.
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.
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
The shooter genre is one of the most beloved videogame genres in the gaming community, and rightfully so. From DOOM Eternal to Battlefield 4, passing through The Outer Worlds, the Xbox Game Pass has a lot to offer when it comes to amazing shooter experiences. Come check out some great shooter games available on Xbox Game Pass!
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.
KeenGamer: "Sometimes a game starts out as a buggy mess and we all just stop and think, “that definitely could have spent a bit more time in the oven”. This is the case for these 5 games which infamously marked their place in recent game memory."
Playing video games is not a sport.
no gaming is NOT a sport, but anything that will make BF4 more popular with the eSPORTs community is always a welcome thing.. this game has EVERYTHING.... large scale war and small fast paced infantry maps... 60fps and 64 man servers too???
but people need to realize that read this article Lars NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ESPORTS... he's talking about competitive gaming.. DICE has covered this before... to them, competitive gaming does NOT mean eSPORTS.. it means competitive online games..
notice, he says, "Still, if you want to do competitive games at 64 players plus two commanders on your next-gen console at 60 frames per second, you can."
