Competitive Battlefield – Can Defuse create competitive play?

We learned this week the various game modes that Battlefield 4 will release with the game in October. The one hope many Battlefield gamers have is that we will see true eSports arrive in Battlefield 4. Defuse seems to be where they feel it will be located.

That's is weird, I thought competitive play existed already?
I did remember some competitions between representatives of several countries.
The thing a remember the most was that the competitors were rude, insulting and violent with each other... Not a nice thing to see at an E-sports event.

There were competitions but nothing that was actual competitive play.

"That's is weird" = That is is weird

BG115794284d ago

Ups my bad. I'll be more careful next time.

MeatheadMilitia4284d ago

I think you'll see smaller maps dedicated towards competitive play. CQC style maps.

DBLDeathDealer4284d ago

Well, we just don't know yet. We hope they are smaller. If not, this mode could be screwed from the start.

elhebbo164284d ago

the prison map (the one showed in the recent trailer) is supposedly the smallest map in the game. they build it specifically for difuse.

frostypants4284d ago

But why? So many other games already offer this.

Hufandpuf4284d ago

We won't find out till after we play it.

elhebbo164284d ago

BF3 was already competitive to begin with. something like Squad Rush would've bin great for MLG....

frostypants4284d ago

Playing Battlefield for CQC = fail. It's called Battlefield for a reason.

Battlefield :Field where battle takes place. That can be any where good sir.

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.

-Foxtrot1181d ago

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

gamesftw2501180d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1180d ago

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

PapaBop1180d 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.

Inverno1180d 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

XiNatsuDragnel1181d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1180d ago

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

Pudge1028881180d ago (Edited 1180d 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

pr33k331180d 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.

Pudge1028881180d 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_D3TH1180d 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.
