Battlefield 4 survey asks players about naval combat, dinosaurs


According to a rumor, Battlefield 4 developer DICE has been polling gamers by an online survey to see what they like to have in the upcoming shooter.






The survey asked players if they wanted to see new potential features, such as being able to schedule matches over Battlelog 2.0 and dynamic battlefields. One example given was a map based around a dam. The dam can be destroyed, which then floods the area. There were also questions about naval combat modes and the ability to transfer the Battlefield 3 online profile and ranks to Battlefield 4.

The poll also discussed potential DLC packs and it asked if players would like DICE to remake the Battlefield 3 maps Operation Metro and Caspian Border with Frostbite engine 3. Possible names for this DLC pack could be: ‘Battlefield 4 Recommisioned’, ‘BF4 Reenlisted’, ‘BF4 War Torn’ and ‘BF4 Reconstructed’. The second potential DLC pack may focus on naval battles only and could be called ‘BF4 Naval Warfare and BF4 Steel Titans’.

DICE also has the idea of a co-op mode in which players team up to fight dinosaurs with bow and arrows in hand as well as other primitive weapons. Those are the potential names:  ‘BF4: BC’, ‘BF4: Primal Combat’ and ‘BF4: 21942 BC’.
