Following simultaneous debut events in San Francisco and Stockholm EA has officially revealed initial details for Battlefield 4, plus a first glimpse of the game in action.

Powered by DICE’s proprietary Frostbite 3 engine, EA has confirmed Battlefield 4 is set to launch in Autumn 2013 (or Spring, for Southern Hemisphere readers).

According to information released by EA, Battlefield 4 will see a variety of multiplayer game design elements incorporated into the single-player campaign. In single-player, gamers are promised huge environments, access to a variety of vehicles and the ability to direct squad mates. The single-player mode will also now track players’ progress, adding a layer of social competition to the game’s campaign.

Rumours of what Frostbite 3 will do:

Among the new additions is a much improved destruction feature where buildings can be completely destroyed (like in Bad Company 2, only at a much greater level and detail), a better lighting system, new animations, a brand new weather system, and more.

I hate these campaign trailers. They do nothing for me. Especially when they have terrible players as the first POV of the game. Just makes it look incredibly stupid. Show some multiplayer footage over a 4 hour campaign snore fest.

They always reveal the SP first...

if they used 17 minutes on the MP all you would get is the same guy trying to cap the first flag on conquest.

I wonder if they would have less ability to hack so j2kboiz is on an even playing field with everyone.

Looks like they got pantskyle to play the demo..

So I'm guessing that pants' avatar is an accurate representation of his BF skills?

Only player that shoots while wearing a suit.

Just watched that gameplay demo that came out. Honestly don't see much to be excited about, besides the graphics, which look great as expected.

Looks too much like Battlefield 3 for my liking, starting to look like the developers won't be taking any risks.

Probably wont be as big a jump from BF3 for the PC folk but for us that are playing on PS3 and 360, this'll be huge.......if next gen console footage is close to what was shown today.

Couldnt watch through the whole gameplay vid, 17 minutes for single player is a bit too much but it looks pretty good i guess.

Only watched a bit of the clip...did they show a stabbing animation?

[picko]

Hehe, dammit, now I'll have to watch the whole thing

Que? Single player much?

We care about the MP.

 

[PP34]

Can't wait.

Hopefully I've got a good PC by the time it comes out.

I know, but they have a idiot playing. They could at least show some MP footage of what we can expect. I'd like to know the breakdown of people who play for campaign and then those that play for MP. Why anyone would buy it and COD for that matter just for the campaign still baffles me.

I'm just a nub.

Literally LOL'D in my class and everyone started starring at me.

Same animation unfortunately.

My mum thinks I'm good.

They have some 5-8 months to show off MP footage, I don't think you'll be lacking by the time it comes out.

But in saying that, raw MP footage just doesn't show well unless they co-ordinate it.

Showing off SP stuff they can give you a few 'wow' set pieces, some gunplay, some vehicular sections, some story moments, etc. to give a rounded look at the game. What's there to really show of the MP that would make things that different? You see a guy shooting another, then dying, then respawning and going and shooting another guy? That's not exactly interesting to watch, at least with this you can see some spectacle.

 

[The Big Sauce]

Single player also tends to be the best place to show off the graphics which are a huge thing for some people to judge a game on initially.

You can highlight the effects/details you want.

 

[Cory]

I don't know if I'll like it.

 

[pantskyle]

I wonder when we will see the next COD game announced.

I know they will show it but i'd like to see a bit of it in the initial release. Just being selfish really.The problem is the MP footage they always show is terrible. There are amazing people on youtube who should be making the footage for MP video releases as DICE never does it justice. You don't even have to see the campaign video to know what they're all about. It's always the same crap kill terrorist leader, recover information, stop bombing etc.

Hope Frostbite 3 goes easy on the lens flare or we'll end up with
