Battlefield 4 Classes: Recon

So as everyone probably already guesses, the most anticipated next gen console game, is going to have some big changes! I’m going to give you a quick run down of the class changes revealed by Dice so far in their E3 footage. Today we’ll start with the recon class in Battlefield 4. This class is going back to it’s roots, and improving on them!

Recon players will now have the ability to zero out their rifle for those killer long distance headshots. On top of that they’ll also have a range finder to get an exact distance on the enemy!

Now that a recon player can pick you across the map why not let him zoom in his scope so he can see your eyes when he takes the shot? Well that’s what Dice wants, so they added an adjustable scope to the game along with a 20x scope!

wow,but what are they taking away? recon can only run 2 yards at a time? reloading gun takes 5 minutes? recon cant turn 180 degrees? something has to give for the new stuff,right? haha,no? poor recon class so gimped in BF3 thats hard to believe theyre getting this in BF4,must be a trick...or other classes getting double amount of additions (able to carry 10 weapons / have jetpacks?) and stuff.

pompombrum3936d ago

Good.. after Bad Company 2, DICE needed to discourage every man and his dog from picking the sniper class.

FanboyCrusher3936d ago

Vietnam, M40. Now that gun was broken. I really hope BF4 is the right balance for recon. Bad Company 2 was a little too powerful, and BF3 was very under powered.

pompombrum3936d ago

Yeah I remember BFV with the M40 in the early days. In fairness to DICE, they did patch it eventually.

XabiDaChosenOne3936d ago

Mannnn I was still a motherluvin BOIST with the Recon class in BF3!

xc7x3935d ago

@ aiBreeze
huh,only saw only a few snipers per game because even in BC2 the recon class was gimped compared to other classes

I use recon in BF3 all the time. M417 with red dot or holo and place beacons to spot people. Not difficult.

xc7x3935d ago (Edited 3935d ago )

@ 3-4-5
who said it was difficult? i said recon was gimped and the class is unfair next the other classes.

"most anticipated next gen console game"

Woh, woh back up there a minute fella...

oof463936d ago (Edited 3936d ago )

Highly anticipated next gen console game would have been correct. Most anticipated? I don't know about that one, and I'm a Bf fan.

And the article should be shown in every Journalism 101 class as how NOT to write an article.

titletownrelo3936d ago

bf4 IS the most pre-ordered next gen title, so...yeah, its technically the "most wanted" game, statistically.

die_fiend3936d ago

Is this even an article? It's like it's written by a young child. By the 6th word it fails

oof463936d ago

Horribly written article. He repeated "zero out their rifle" in two different paragraphs. What does that even mean?

Atmas_313936d ago

Zero out the scope loosely means adjusting the scope. So the projectiles point of impact is hitting where the center of your cross hairs are. Which depends on distance your firing at. If you see a sniper in movie adjusting his sight before he takes a shot thats whats he is doing.

Furi173936d ago (Edited 3936d ago )

36 players teams, 1 commander, 30 snipers-wannabes overpowered with explosives, 4 vehicule whores, and you, trying to do something...

Detoxx3936d ago

In BF4 carbines can be used by each class now, so you can basically be an BF3 engineer with C4 instead of an RPG

Furi173936d ago

Yea, repairing vehicles with the motion sensor.

JunioRS1013936d ago

It's all about that assault class with the defibrillator son

Furi173936d ago

What if I told you the defib is severely toned down with rechanging times.

JunioRS1013936d ago

I'd tell you to change it back

Trunkz3936d ago

I'd say learn to kill the guy who shot your friend first before trying to mass revive everyone ;)

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.

-Foxtrot757d ago

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

gamesftw250756d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface755d ago

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

PapaBop756d 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.

Inverno756d 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

XiNatsuDragnel757d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps756d ago

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

Pudge102888756d ago (Edited 756d 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

pr33k33756d 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.

Pudge102888756d 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_D3TH756d 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.
