The scene is set, the field is ready, the players; preparing, the developers baiting their breath. The time is fast approaching, the time when players will unite together to play the hell out of a beta. The beta of a game that will redefine what it means to make a shooter, a game that will redefine the definition of an immersive game.
You can be in no doubt in your mind of the game with which I speak, Battlefield 4. Of which the beta is soon upon us. As you probably guessed from the title of this post, anyway let's get down the the new details of the beta.
The only map that will be playable in the beta will be the first map we saw all the way back at E3 this year, and that is Seige of Shanghai, as I'm sure you remember the largest skyscraper in the map was destructible, you can see the building collapsing in the picture above. The two available game modes to play will be Conquest(4-5 flags to capture and get points from) and Domination, which is similar to Conquest Domination in BF3 except on a bigger scale. It is a great shame that both the modes are so similar in gameplay. I would have been very nice to see the flagship mode of Battlefield: Rush, as that would have shown the map of in a different light. Alas it is not the case, we will have to make do with those two modes and that one map for the beta. If my memory serves the full game will feature 10 maps(Including Seige of Shanghai and Paracel Storm) and 7 game modes.
The beta is set for release on October 1st for certain people, and October 4th, I hope to see you all on the battlefield!
On one last thing, it is the European Women in Gaming Jobs convention, on the September 25th, keep up with what is going at the convention here.
Thanks for reading
