Battlefield 4 Multiplayer and Its Emergent Gameplay

Player 1 and 2 happen upon a several hundred meter tall tower. Player #2 enters said tower and rides the elevator to the top while #1 notices a ladder leading into an underground hallway. Player #1 signals for his buddy to follow him. They encounter an interactive laptop. After setting the timer on this laptop, the unsuspecting players are caught off-guard by the blaring of the alarms and flashing lights, setting them off into a frenzied search for the nearest exit. Once both players are safely outside, the search for a vantage point begins. A conveniently placed set of rocks with a clear view of the tower calls to them. The explosion finally sets off, making its way from the bottom until it reaches the top. Player #2 teases his teammate, saying “Haha, watch out. Better not let that fall on you.” just seconds before he himself is crushed underneath the weight of the debris while the buddy he sarcastically warned remains unscathed.

This is a “Battlefield” moment and this is where Battlefield 4, even two years on from release, still succeeds as an engaging multiplayer experience. Emergent gameplay moments steal the show, engendering a sense of raw excitement and unpredictability that few other multiplayer games can match. A typical Battlefield 4 match is usually filled with multiple unplanned single-player style set-piece moments. Riding an elevator up to the roof of a twelve story building, then jumping off and parachuting into a building across from it with a blown-open wall and shooting up the place, kicking off debris and particles all over the place is more exhilarating than any tightly controlled set piece in the game’s own single player campaign.

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

gamesftw2501141d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1140d ago

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

PapaBop1141d 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.

Inverno1141d 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

XiNatsuDragnel1142d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1141d ago

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

Pudge1028881141d ago (Edited 1141d 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

pr33k331141d 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.

Pudge1028881141d 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_D3TH1141d 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.
