10 Fixes ‘The Division’ Needs Immediately

The Division is a good game. I have played enough to say that by now, and though that doesn’t come with an official review score attached to it, I do see big things for this franchise, and I think it’s mostly lived up to the hype since E3 years ago. With that said, it does have its problems. You could argue there are some major, structural problems with the game, or issues with gunplay, skill use, loot and so on. And I will explore each of those as time goes on, in addition to what the game does well. But today,…

When we released the Battle Of Jakku free update, we introduced a brand-new game mode called Turning Point.

DICE : “WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT BF4”

 Its been a good two and a half years since Battlefield 4 was released, and in that time, it’s been supported well by its developers. After a horrendous launch in 2013, EA created a new studio, DICE LA, to specifically focus on continued support for Battlefield 4.   And it seems that the support will carry on into the near future. EA recently said onTwitter that “we will continue to support Battlefield 4”, but they did not reveal any plans for the future. The last Battlefield 4 update was released in December, and since then, there has been no news about…

BATTLEFIELD 5 IN WW1?

One hardly needs to be particularly observant to spot that the entertainment industry is fairly compulsive in its adoption of fads. Whether its super hero movies, vampire television shows, or post-apocalyptic video games, producers across all sectors of the industry will stick to whatever trend is in keeping with the zeitgeist. For that reason, the most popular genres are vulnerable to becoming stagnant, starved of innovation and creativity as a result of being overly restricted to fit the mould of whatever proves popular. Perhaps nowhere is that more vividly apparent at the moment than in the video game first person…

Sounds of Star Wars Battlefront

The five man sound design team working together at DICE have had a blast working on Star Warsâ„¢ Battlefrontâ„¢! We asked each of them to tell us one of the stories behind some of their, and your, favourite sounds in the game. First up is David Jegutidse, Sound Designer, who will talk about the sound of the Thermal Imploder. The Thermal Imploder compresses and heats the surrounding atmosphere, creating a vacuum that produces a violent implosion within a massive radius.

THE HIDDEN MECHANICS OF BF4

So, I thought it might be nice to explain some hidden mechanics of BF4. You can learn all of them if you play for a while. From my memory, DICE explains none of these. Some of these will only be useful once in a while. You exit a vehicle in the direction you are aiming (good to exit away from enemy fire) You can use your secondary (exception: Shorty 12G and Mare's Leg), knife, Repair Tool, or C4 in the water. (thanks to /u/CW_Lightning) Ticket bleed is what wins/loses games, not kills; bleed is responsible for 60% of all lost…
