You want to be at the forefront of any advance, but you also need to have the combat awareness to know when you should deploy explosives and/or healing items (depending on how you set your loadout). The key to playing any Battlefield game effectively is understanding the delicate balance between these classes and sticking to your chosen class’s particular script.Īssault: If you go with Assault, you are front-line infantry. Here’s your top-level breakdown: Assault is the machine gun-toting footsoldier with unlocks focusing on first aid and explosives Engineer handles vehicles and anti-armor needs, and is also capable in close-quarters engagements with SMGs as the default weapon Recon is built for ranged warfare, with a sniper rifle and an assortment of rangefinders that are useful for reconnaissance and lastly, Support is a medium-range attacker equipped with high-capacity LMGs (Light Machine Gun) that are good for suppression and the ability to re-supply teammates. The four basic soldier classes – known as “kits” – in Battlefield 4 return from previous games, with unlocks opening up as you pile points into each kit-specific “Score”. Following the advice here won’t guarantee success, but it will definitely give you an edge when you gear up and head off to make fake war. It’s even possible to excel in Battlefield 4 without ever firing a shot. The Battlefield games demand some skill from their players in terms of reflexes and hand-eye coordination, but it isn’t a traditional “twitch” shooter. We can, however, help you if you’re doing it wrong. Why are you putting hours into a game that you don’t enjoy? What does this say about you? We can’t answer those questions for you. If the answer is the former, then you should probably sit down and take a good, long look at your life. There are two reasons why you may not be having fun though: either you’re not a fan of Battlefield in the first place or you’re doing it wrong. Battlefield 4 is here and fragging friends and strangers alike online has never been so enjoyable.
We’re in the final months of the year, and while many regard this time as the “holiday season,” gamers know what the real deal is: this is the season of the blockbuster shooters. Though Battlefield 2042 is planning a beta, this return to Battlefield 4 should serve as a warning or a lesson for EA Dice that they may need their servers working at higher capacities right from the start. Too many players is a good problem to have for multiplayer games. Apparently, the increased number of players in Battlefield 4 has put a strain on the online servers, so much so, that EA has had to increase capacity to meet the fans’ excitement for the new game.
It is not unusual for a previous game to get increased player numbers before the release of a new title, but the Battlefield community is making EA work a little harder than usual. Regardless, the hype is real, and fans are jumping back into Battlefield 4 in preparation of the new game. I mean, there will have to be if this multiplayer-only game is going to succeed. Though there are familiar elements that fans will expect, like massive ground battles, vehicle combat, and mixtures of the two, there are also going to be brand new experiences for players. Then at E3, the excitement was ramped up even further with the gameplay reveal. A couple of weeks ago, we got our first look at Battlefield 2042.
