Battlefield 4 players have always amazed us by pulling off jaw-dropping, out of this world stunts – from the legendary Rendezook to launching their vehicles onto skyscrapers. With the BF4 Stunt Video Competition, we wanted to give some of the most skilled fans an opportunity to shine. The battle was fierce, but in the end the community chose 3 winning stunt video submissions. The creators of these videos will receive a truly brutal AMD gaming PC for their creative efforts. Congratulations! Enjoy the top 3 stunt videos below: ponylionHD – “Rendelodon” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1QKH4L9SiI CINEMA VIDEO-RECORDING http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyNY0MN64oo VideoDeadGaming – “Rendemissile” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlcPn54HE5s See all of the top stunt video submissions The post BF4 Battlefest Stunt Video Competition Sponsored by AMD – The Winners appeared first on The Battlefield Blog.

As some of you may know, our team at DICE LA is working hard to finish the next game update for Battlefield 4, aiming at a release in September. Meanwhile, we’re continuing to utilize the Battlefield 4 Community Test Environment to gather feedback and make various improvements to the game. Core Gameplay Update The current CTE initiative revolves around making the core gameplay of Battlefield 4 even better. This initiative has been in full swing for a little over two months now, and we’ve made a lot tweaks and changes that we hope you have enjoyed. As we’re nearing the end of this initiative and the release of the next Battlefield 4 update, these are the major fixes that it will include: Game Mode Improvements General improvements and tweaks have been made to the following game modes: Rush, Obliteration, Obliteration Competitive, Capture the Flag and Carrier Assault. Visual Recoil Close and medium range optic reticules do not move with the gun any longer, however both bullet spread and bullet drop are still present. Soldier Movement Changes have been made to soldier movement so that it closely matches the one in Battlefield 3, but without compromising the visual fidelity. This change also makes it easier to get away from undesirable firefights. Additionally, we’ve dampened third person hit reactions where the soldier previously moved his head around a lot when getting shot at. HUD Triage Focusing on clarity, and de-cluttering the HUD/UI to only show what is important – we have added several options and functionality to make your screen much less cluttered (and give you a lot of choice in making it the way you want). Revive Mechanic Improvements A special effort went into making revives easier to use, more robust and easier to understand. Additions include a “fully charged” paddle sound, UI indication on revive time and better networked ragdolls. “Netcode” Improvements Making ping differences, trade kills and kills behind cover less of an issue by lowering the time allowed to damage on the client side. Automatic High Frequency Update setting enforced with the intent of release to all platforms, including Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Improvements to bullet damage times from client to client, “dusting” and de-syncs. Vehicle Balance Identifying and tweaking the top vehicles in need of buffs and nerfs. Weapon Balance We’ve focused on maintaining a consistent Time To Kill (how long an average engagement lasts for). With the changes to visual recoil, the third person hit reactions and improved “tickrates” has been sped up somewhat as we still need to balance this with damage and recoil changes. Suppression systems has also been re-tuned and made clearer. What’s next? The next initiative on the CTE will be called the Teamplay Initiative. Here we will focus on improving teamplay and the objective aspects of playing Battlefield. This will include everything from Commander, Squads, Field Upgrades and Game Mode improvements, features and bug fixes. Taking part in the CTE To take part in early content, feature and improvement testing, you need to own Battlefield 4 Premium. To sign up for the Community Test Environment, visit http://cte.battlelog.com. And as always – a big THANK YOU to all the players who have helped or is helping making us make Battlefield 4 a better game to play!

The third edition of the Community’s Most Wanted List is here! Time to hand over to Thad Sasser, Lead Multiplayer Designer on Battlefield Hardline. I’ve discussed topics for the blog with a few Battlefield players, and one of the great suggestions I got was to talk about some of the data we’ve collected from the Battlefield Hardline Beta and how it’s influencing the game balance. Please continue to suggest topics in the comments below or on Twitter. Let’s take a look at some of the data we’ve collected on weapons! We’ll start with the most lethal weapons, which is nice because it lines up nicely with what I think might be an obvious point of comparison: the AKM versus the M16A3. No contest, you think, right? The AKM wins, hands down. Actually, the data says otherwise: WeaponFiredVsHitKillsFiredVsKillsHitVsKillsHeadshotFiredVsHeadshotm16a413.83% 13,746,275 2.23% 16.15% 3,117,055 0.51% akm12.11% 9,087,162 3.38% 27.93% 2,241,228 0.83% More kills with the M16. M16 looks like it has higher accuracy by a little. AKM clearly doing more damage, with almost double the hit-to-kill ratio, but lower overall accuracy. These seem more balanced than we’d expected – we kind of figured the AKM would beat the M16A3. The M16 has some things in its favor for the beta – it was the default gun on the default class, for starters, which tends to push its use up for sure, and it’s easy to learn. We’ll keep our eye on these two. The AKM might still be a little OP, but it’s in the right ballpark for sure – it doesn’t feel like we need to take any action at the moment. Let’s look at the next two highest kill weapons, the MG36 and the G36C. WeaponFiredVsHitKillsFiredVsKillsHitVsKillsHeadshotFiredVsHeadshotmg3611.14% 6,419,002 1.61% 14.46% 1,432,628 0.36% g36c16.03% 5,771,683 2.41% 15.01% 1,053,956 0.44% Clearly, the MG is spitting out more bullets. It’s got a decent rate of hits, but lower percentage of kills and headshots. The G36C feels a little anemic next to the M16 and AK, with a worse kill % and an MG-like percentage of hits-to-kill – it kind of feels like the worst mix of the AKM and the M16 in terms of stats. We’d identified this weapon as needing a buff, and the stats support that. I was going to write some more on character progression and look at some more of the weapon stats, but we’ll save that for next time! Hopefully you found this interesting and informative.

Today we are announcing that Battlefield Hardline will launch in early 2015. Obviously, this is big news, so I’d like to address why we’re making this change. Back at E3, we launched a beta for Hardline — we wanted to not only show you the game, but to let you play it for yourselves. Millions of you jumped in and had a great time. As a result, the Visceral Games team learned a lot from players about what they wanted in the game. We’ve been pouring over the data and feedback, and have already been putting a lot of it right into the game and sharing it directly with you. This feedback also spurred us to start thinking about other possibilities and ways we could push Hardline innovation further and make the game even better. The more we thought about these ideas, the more we knew we had to get them into the game you will all be playing. However, there was only one problem. We would need more time. Time that we didn’t have if we decided to move forward with launching in just a couple of months. We decided that the right thing to do was to take more time to ensure Hardline is the best, most innovative Battlefield experience we can give to you, our fans. Here are a few of the things the new timing will allow us to accomplish: 1. Multiplayer Innovation: Coming out of our E3 beta, internal focus tests, and work with our community, we have received a lot of great Multiplayer thinking. We’re going to be adding some new feature ideas direct from the community that will evolve the cops and criminals fantasy into a truly unique Battlefield Multiplayer experience. 2. Single Player Story Depth: In order to ensure our Single Player experience delivers on player expectations, we’re spending more time polishing our core features, as well as adding a few new ones that will support a deeper “crime revenge” story experience. 3. Stability: This has been a focus for our team since day one and we’re going to be using the extra time to continue to optimize the game for a stable launch. We have learned a lot from Battlefield 4, are continuing to learn from our Community Test Environment and will learn more from another Hardline beta. More time allows us to surface issues that the team can attempt to fix prior to launch. We are doing all of this for one reason. Because we want Battlefield Hardline to be the best game it can be, and so that we can create the best environment for a smooth launch for our players. We will give you updates on our progress and we’ll regularly share updates along the way via Battlefield.com/Hardline as well as the Battlefield social channels. In addition to the ongoing development of Hardline, it’s important to note that the DICE teams continue to drive Battlefield 4. We continue to explore new opportunities for improvements and we are still releasing new content, including “Dragon’s Teeth,” the fourth expansion pack that launches worldwide on July 29, and “Final Stand” coming later this year. We remain committed to giving you the best BF4 experience possible.

In the past weeks, gamers have had a chance to learn quite a bit about Battlefield Hardline’s Multiplayer. We’ve had a great beta and that has brought in a ton of data and feedback which is making the game more awesome every day. Thad Sasser, our Lead MP Designer, has been keeping you up to date on what we’ve learned and more importantly how we’re making MP better. More great MP info is to come, because there’s a LOT more to share. Today, though, I wanted to talk about our Single Player. Taking Battlefield into the world of cops and criminals gives us an opportunity to do something completely different than what’s been done in the past, not only in the series but in the genre. When we look around the landscape of gaming these days, there are a lot of gravel voiced super soldiers saving the world from domination. But that’s not the world of cops and criminals, and that’s not something we’re interested in doing with Hardline. Our world is more personal and relatable. There won’t be any five-minute cut scenes where the evil general explains his super weapon in our game. Instead, we want to create the look, tone, and pace of our favorite TV crime dramas. Don’t get me wrong. Like all gamers, we’ve enjoyed some great, linear, roller coaster style games in our day. We may have even made one or two. But these days we think gamers are looking for more tactical choice and depth in their games, not just whack-a-mole shooting galleries. So for the Battlefield Hardline single player campaign, we are trying to fill our world with those choices. Here are some choices you might be faced with in the campaign: -Do I grapple and zipline past these guys, or try to get through on the ground? -Do I intimidate this guy into giving up or go for the Taser? -That guy has a warrant on him, and I could use the cash. Do I take him down here or get his flunkies first? -How many bullets do I have left in this gun? Do I feel lucky? Well, do I? We are bringing more depth and choice to our campaign, and by using a TV crime drama aesthetic, delivering a different type of storytelling and a new tone that feels different from the from most of the first person shooters we’ve all played a lot of lately. In order to really get the feeling right, we’ve teamed up with some great talent from the genre. Our director Bill Johnson and Narrative Consultant Wendy Calhoun are both veterans of Justified, and our cast includes actors from True Detective, CSI Miami, The Shield, Law and Order, and other milestone cop shows. This is a story that takes place in the grey area between cops and criminals, with police who aren’t all good and thieves with a cause to fight for. As players, you’ll get to see things from both sides. All in all we think we’ve got some cool ideas and are going to try something a little different with the single player of the game. You’ll be able to see some stuff soon, and myself, our Executive Producer Steve, our Director and Cast will be at Comic Con to show some footage, answer questions, and share our excitement for the game. Hope to see you there!

Two weeks since the last update, and even more progress! This edition of the Community’s Most Wanted List continues to outline more of the fixes and improvements we are making to multiplayer in Battlefield Hardline. Here are 10 more things we’ve learned from the beta that we’re putting into the game. We want to reinforce how important your feedback has been – we have a lot of other awesome changes underway and will be sharing more soon! 1. REDUCING FREQUENCY OF EXPLOSIVES We have heard your complaints about breaking the cops and robbers experience with the amount of heavy explosive weaponry available – but we didn’t want to sacrifice fun! We’ve made changes to reduce the frequency of explosive use to focus on the core gameplay, and we’ve made the use of explosives much more believable now. 2. REBALANCING AND RENAMING THE MECHANIC CLASS We’ve made the class better in more situations – without sacrificing his ability to take down a vehicle. We’re also looking at renaming it – post your favourite suggestions in the comments! 3. REVISITING THE IN-GAME HUD We’re working on establishing a clearer visual difference from BF4 and improving the messaging of the in-game HUD, from objectives to player status information. 4. REVISITING THE CUSTOMIZE SCREEN We’ve taken a new pass at how the customize screen is laid out, and are making it clearer and easier to manage your gear and weapon attachments. This should address the majority of issues reported. 5. MAKING THE WORLD DEEPER AND MORE INTERACTIVE We’ve been working on adding more touches to the game world, giving players more options and things to do that impact play. Look for interactive objects like doors, radios, ammo lockers, and more! 6. MAKING ROUNDS LAST LONGER A significant amount of feedback during the Beta was received regarding the quick progression of rounds. We’ve made tweaks to both Heist and Blood Money that should help make the experiences last longer without sacrificing any of the fun. 7. INCREASING TRANSPORT VEHICLE HEALTH There were a lot of comments about cars dying too easily from gunfire. We agree that one magazine from the AKM should probably not turn your sedan into a 4-person death trap quite so easily. We’ve also increased the survivability of the utility van. 8. IMPROVING AUDIO SITUATIONAL AWARENESS In some of our game modes, situational awareness is very important. We’re working on improving the audio cues in the environment to help you detect and locate your enemies before they do the same to you. 9. MEDKITS AND AMMO BOXES SHOULD NO LONGER BLOCK L.O.S. CHECKS FOR REVIVE Previously, you could fail to revive someone if a medkit or ammo bag was blocking the line of sight check for the revive mechanic. We are fixing this so that these no longer block you from reviving. 10. IMPROVING INTERROGATION We’ve worked out some changes to the T62 CEW and the Interrogation mechanic. We’re working on making Interrogation only show enemies in a radius around the captured enemy, but show the marked enemies as if they had been Active Spotted by a teammate – making it both more useful and less powerful at the same time. Come back to the site to check in and see the latest CMW lists – and to voice your opinion, we read the comments. We are doing our best to create an awesome MP experience, and in coming days we are revealing a ton of new multiplayer details including information on maps, modes, guns, gadgets and our single player campaign. We want to hear your feedback!
