Here are all the details about the shooter from Gamescom 2013 in Köln.
Obliteration
A new mode called Obliteration was also discussed during Gamescom, which includes random bomb spawning, and is developed in the style of “Capture the Flag”. Basically, you are tasked with destroying the enemy target before they get to yours, and you only have “one bomb between you.”
Battlepacks
EA discussed something called Battlepacks, which add persistence and chance to multiplayer progression. During multiplayer, players will receive packs stuffed with a random assortment of new camos, dog tags, knives, XP boosts and gun attachments.
Battlefield 4 Multiplayer Beta
The Battlefield 4 multiplayer beta which kicks off in early October and will be exclusive for Battlefield 3 Premium owners, those that pre-ordered Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe, and owners of Medal of Honor Warfighter Digital Deluxe and Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition for three days. After that, it will be open to everyone on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. The beta will include the Siege of Shanghai map on the popular Conquest mode and Levolution.
The multiplayer mode
The modes include series regulars like Conquest, Rush, Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination, while adding two new game modes. DICE also confirmed the game will launch with ten multiplayer maps, and all game modes will be playable on all of them.
The new modes include:
- Obliteration, where two teams face off on medium-sized battlegrounds where one bomb spawns in a random central location and the goal is to pick up the bomb and arm it at one of the enemy’s three military installations.
- Defuse, where players don’t have any re-spawns at all for an even tighter and quicker infantry-only game mode
