New Battlefield 4 Details

Over in Australia, EA and EB Games hosted a live Battlefield 4 demo for the media and 100 fans. Along with the 17-minute demo officially shared earlier this year, Angry Sea gameplay was shown. EA marketing director David Silverman also shared a bunch of details during a Q&A, which you can find below.

Single-player:

• Admitted that the BF3 story could have been more.

• Campaign will be more character driven and emotional. Confidence in their skills in building multiplayer led them to spend more time into creating a good singleplayer story.

• NPCs will be more human. Right down to the smallest and simplest details of just watching you walk around etc.

• Cutscenes are acted out in a soundstage like in movies

Specs:

• Oculus Rift support is not planned, but is possible in the future

• PC specs are similar to the specs of BF3. No official specs list has been released.

Multiplayer:

• Battlelog returns on PC and will integrated into the console games

• Commander Mode runs in-game and tablet, however the in-game versions will have extra features such as live video feeds etc.

• Maps can’t be totally leveled, however, destruction is going to be more dramatic than BF3′s and will be similar to BC2′s destruction.

• They are considering bringing back the ability to destroy MCOMs by having structures and buildings fall on them, like BC2

• You can cut the power in the indoor parts of the maps and use the darkness and non functional elevators to your advantage

• Seize of Shanghai, the map shown at the E3 Demo, is a medium size map and new game modes will be shown soon.

• The spokesman said that “You won’t be disappointed by the number of maps in the game”

• He also stated that Operation Metro is the most popular map in BF3, thus indirectly confirming that it’ll return in the Second Assault DLC.
