Upcoming BF4 Tweaks To Improve Objective Play, ‘People Play Too Much On The K/D,’ Says Producer

MP1st - In the coming weeks and months, the Battlefield team at DICE LA is not only heads down finishing up Battlefield 4′s fifth expansion, Final Stand, but is also undertaking a new initiative that aims to inspire Battlefield gamers to more efficiently play the objective.

DICE LA Producer David Sirland took a moment to explain to us a few of the ways the studio hopes to accomplish this.

How about starting out by hosting official Classic game modes?

Neixus3484d ago

Really? They created Classic mode because of the demand for fans.

If you're going to complain,go to the official forums, the devs aren't reading this, so it's no use

Dontworrybhappy3485d ago

O_o smartest thing I've heard in YEARS!

AgentSmithPS43485d ago

K/D has no place in modes like conquest, working as a team to win should be what it's about, not exploiting the system to make yourself look good. I hate how hard it is to find a stranger that wants to get on mic and work together too, it's a lot more fun and productive that way.

Fishy Fingers3485d ago (Edited 3485d ago )

Totally agree, I've always tried to 'play for points' and figured the kills will come from being in the right place at the right time.

So often I see people with crazy good KDR yet they're only mid table at the end of the round because they've done little to support the team/objectives.

GodGinrai3484d ago

I hate those kinds of players. I am a K/D whore myself, but never at the expense of my team. In BF, winning is a team effort..and winning is the objective. not running around like a headless chicken with a sub-machine gun!

Minute Man 7213484d ago

I never hear anyone communicating as a team whenever I play

TheSaint3485d ago

They should remove the K/D stat period, it kills FPS games.

GAMEnjoy_3485d ago

Exactly. Now it seems that people are obsessed with their KDR.
If any future game would be without that players would eventually focused more on objectives not their stats.

Elit3Nick3484d ago

the K/D part of the in match leaderboard should be replaced with points for captures alongside total points, that way people know who was playing the objective the most while still seeing who is supporting his/her team mates.

Torque_CS_Lewith3485d ago (Edited 3485d ago )

They should consider not tracking number of deaths in all modes. I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to play a rush game as a defender and have team mates not disarm the charge because they don't want to get killed!

Dannycr3485d ago

Ugh YES! Or people that all they want to do is spawn-trap every round. They even hear the bomb being planted and they don't do nothing.

Elit3Nick3484d ago

well, all game-modes aside from TDM lol

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.

-Foxtrot758d ago

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

gamesftw250757d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface757d ago

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

PapaBop757d 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.

Inverno757d 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

XiNatsuDragnel758d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps757d ago

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

Pudge102888757d ago (Edited 757d 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

pr33k33757d 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.

Pudge102888757d 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_D3TH757d 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.
