DICE LA is still working on Battlefield 4, expect updates in the future

The LA-based developer is still working on supporting BF4,

[Apollosupreme]

That's really good support after a rough start.

[DragonDDark]

Yeah, I really like the support the game got. Same with DriveClub for example.

[3-4-5]

Time they spend on Battlefield 4 takes away from Battlefield 5.

Can't stand when companies do this.

Create your game, make sure it runs well, then move on to the next one.

THIS is the main reason games are taking forever to make.

DICE LA was likely never making BF5 in the first place.

Consider BF3 was getting support even during BF4's development.

I don't think you get that when they are referring to updates, its not just 500 staff members all working on updates and maps lol

Don't you think its strange that while we where getting all those BF4 maps, Star Wars Battlefront was made?

Don't you think its weird Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a thing?

I mean....seriously, really ,really think long and hard about what your really trying to say.

You need to first ask how many at DICE LA are working on updates, you then need to figure out...how many BF's has DICE LA made, then....factor...how many BF games where delayed due to DLC or patches, updates etc?

Was BF3 not getting support during BF4's launch? Was BF4 getting support during Star Wars BF's launch? Again...is Mirror's Edge Catalyst not a thing?

SO stop saying "companies" or "they". First figure out who "they" are in the first place before assuming BF5 isn't currently being done....RIGHT NOW, for all we know its been being worked on since BF4 finished.

Not ALL DICE worked on Star Wars BF, JUST like not all DICE worked on Mirror's Edge Catalyst, your not talking about 1 person you know lol

"you swap people around. Some people just won’t be interested; other people have been building Battlefield games for ten years and want to try something else,” adds Bach

So this is almost confirming that Star Wars Battlefront was not done by 100% of DICE Sweden's staff. Its likely they where fully booked because they had already been working on a new Battlefield.

Again....DICE LA and Visceral where working on maps and updates for BF4.

So its likely they mean a part of the team continued working on what is likely BF5 or Fall 2016 BF.

I don't think they need an entire team to update or make those maps, I've heard as little as 20 to 30 as I've read it can take up to 6 people to make a single map, so consider the map releases, it could be a team of 20 or 30. Not hundreds.

Mind you, DICE has 3 offices and is made up of close to 600 people. So your not actually talking about 1 person or something, your talking about an extremely large team and even "team" is a heard thing to call them, they are really 3 different teams.

Good to know. Great work done so far.

[Activemessiah]

BF5 will be out by the time this game is fixed.

[danny818]

its been fixed

[FITgamer]

The game plays great now, and has for months now.

[Activemessiah]

I stand corrected.

[Omegasyde]

I really really dislike Ea but

I will buy bf5 just not day 1

[Get_A_Job_Foxtrot]

Great... More opportunities for DICE to inject the game with bad code. Never buying another battlefield. I got screwed with bf3 and 4. Rainbow Six is all I need.

[AuraAbjure]

I don't care if playing the game made my junk bigger. You people keep encouraging this levolution of disrespect by paying developers $$$ to drop half finished games then things won't change.
