Battlefield weapons throughout the ages

Here we take a look at some returning battlefield weapons throughout the years of gameplay. How have they evolved or is it just the graphics then has been updated?

In 2010, a sequel to Battlefield: Bad Company, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, was released, involving “B” Company’s search for an EMP weapon (called a scalar weapon ingame). It had a larger, and arguably better multiplayer than its predecessor “Bad Company”, with updated graphics and new realistic effects (e.g. bullet-drop). It also featured a “VIP” system of content distribution where player with VIP codes gain early access to new maps. DICE also released an expansion for Bad Company 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam, setting the game in the Vietnam war.

Battlefield 3 was announced in 2009, and in 2010 it was confirmed that gamers who pre-ordered Medal of Honor (2010) Limited Edition or who pre-ordered from origin (in the U.S. only) would receive beta access toBattlefield 3 48 hours before the open beta was released. On February 4, 2011, the first teaser trailer for the game was revealed, with a preliminary release in the Fall of 2011. Among the features that remain in the game are Jets and the ability to go prone. The game still allows 64 (on the PC) players as in all previous Battlefield titles, though the consoles allow for 24 player matches. The Battlefield 3 Beta was released on September 29, 2011. Battlefield 3 was released on October 25, 2011 and has received almost unanimous high review scores and has received awards from IGN.

On November 5, 2010, EASY Studios announced a follow-up to its free-to-play Battlefield Heroes, Battlefield Play4Free. EASY develops the free-to-play variants of Battlefield. Its latest offering gives players the same free-to-play pricing structure of Heroes, while still offering a more serious, core Battlefield experience (as opposed to Heroes‘ lighthearted, cartoon-styled environment).Battlefield Play4Free went into open beta on April 4, 2011.

On July 17, 2012, an advertisement appeared on EA’s Origin webpage that players who pre-order Medal of Honor: Warfighter, would receive access to an exclusive Battlefield 4 Beta. Battlefield 4 was announced on March 26, 2013. A Beta for the game began on October 1 and ended on October 15. It was released on October 29, 2013.
