Now that Battlefield 4 has launched on five systems (including the newly released Xbox One), franchise fans are eager to take the fight against 63 other players in all-out multiplayer battles.

In light of those Battlefield 4 technical issues, the game's developer, DICE, has released a letter apologizing to BF4 fans and offering something special in exchange for their patience.

Xbox One and PS4 Almost Didn’t Get Battlefield 4 at Launch
There's been a rash of next-gen game delays recently, from Watch Dogs and The Crew to DriveClub, with the culprit generally being the steep learning curve with next-gen hardware. As if developing a game weren't hard enough, it turns out that creating one for the unreleased Xbox One and PS4 is perhaps more daunting than some development teams realized. In fact, it got to the point that EA and DICE almost missed the window for Battlefield 4 to be an Xbox One and PS4 launch title. In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, … [Read more...]

Battlefield 4 Beta Starts Oct. 1 for Xbox 360, PS3, PC
If you haven't had a chance to attend E3 or PAX, you'll soon get your chance to be hands-on with Battlefield 4. EA has announced that the Battlefield 4 beta starts on Oct. 1 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Battlefield 4 Vehicles: Players Can Truly Pimp My Ride
We've seen a lot of the Campaign and Multiplayer action in Battlefield 4, but vehicles haven't played much of a role beyond background eye candy so far. Veteran Battlefield gamers know all too well the value of vehicles in the franchise, so it was just a matter of time before DICE and EA started talking about Battlefield 4 vehicles and their customization options. That time is apparently now. Since the beginning, vehicles have played an essential role in the all-out-warfare experience that happens only in … [Read more...]
Battlefield 4 “Angry Sea” Single-Player Demo Gameplay Video
Battlefield 4 needs no introduction - unless you're talking to gamers who are more enamored with single-player games than multiplayer ones. In that case, BF4 -- if not the entire Battlefield franchise -- may very well be foreign ground. Much like the Call of Duty series, the Battlefield games have a massive multiplayer following and attract millions of gamers for that reason alone. But contrary to popular opinion, there is a single-player narrative, and a surprisingly large one in the case of Battlefield 4, which we saw … [Read more...]
