Does DICE have something else up their sleeve for Battlefield 4?

The big Battlefield 4 reveal at E3 2013 was the reintroduction to Commander Mode, a designated position in multiplayer that controls numerous aspects of the game. Impressive as Commander Mode looked in its recent showing, it looks like DICE has more details to share in the coming weeks about the new role on the Battlefield. Recently, an interesting point was recently brought up on Twitter by one Battlefield 4 fan. Battlefield 4 will feature 32 players per side, and will feature five man squads. With one Commander per team and six five-man teams, something doesn’t add up. There’s an extra slot available on each team, and when the question was posed to DICE, the developers have alluded to another reveal up their sleeves.

They most definitely do and are ready to show it at least a month before release to hype us all. That's what I think.

fsfsxii3944d ago

More DLCs, thats for sure.

TIER1xWOLFPACKx3944d ago

i dont understand the 5 players per squad thing wont that end up with 2 players in a 2 man squad

Pandamobile3944d ago

That's assuming every squad has 5 people.

All you need to fix that is two 4 man squads.

just leaves 1 man out wondering what they will do

UNGR3944d ago

How often do you play games with every squad full? You don't, tons of people set them to private for one other friend, or just play solo. Giving the people that like the teamwork to have an extra man is great.

Maninja3944d ago

The commander doesn't count as a player, this has been confirmed multiple times. So on a team it's 32 players, a commander, and probably a spectator.

KwietStorm_BLM3944d ago

It's not like everyone will have a full squad. As team oriented as this game is, you got dummies who have 1 or 2 people in a squad, then they lock it. Pisses me off.

MWong3944d ago

BF4 seems to favor playing with larger squads compared to previous BF installments. Especially, since a squad wipe can cause all your specialization bonuses to reset. As you know smaller squads are always a lot easier to wipe compared to larger squads.

And the more Squad based tasks you can perform the quicker your specialization meter will fill. Also encouraging larger squads. So I think we'll be seeing less people lock their squads now.

R.I.P COD Ghost only thing that can save COD now is eSports !

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.

-Foxtrot753d ago

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

gamesftw250752d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface751d ago

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

PapaBop752d 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.

Inverno752d 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

XiNatsuDragnel753d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps752d ago

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

Pudge102888752d ago (Edited 752d 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

pr33k33752d 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.

Pudge102888752d 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_D3TH752d 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.
