EA is going all in on the next Battlefield's destruction with major overhauls

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Destruction has always set Battlefield apart from the competition. Whether it's skyscrapers tumbling from up above, house walls being obliterated, or gigantic zeppelins scattered across the front line, your ability to quite literally level the playing field is core to the multiplayer game's experience. This is why destruction is a key part of EA's ongoing testing for the next game in the series, and a new update from the team shows how the mechanic is being evolved for the future.

Community Update - Battlefield Labs - Destruction

by TOTALfps

We’re back with another Community Update focused on destruction, and a summary of our initial learnings from previous Battlefield Labs play sessions. Let’s start with a preview on how we’re designing and testing destruction for the future. OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY FOR DESTRUCTION Our goals for destruction are centered around adding further gameplay depth by allowing you to reshape the environment and transform your surroundings toward a tactical advantage. For example, barging through walls to surprise your enemies, reshaping the battlefield to create new paths into the capture zones, or taking down a building to take out an attacking squad. We're designing destruction around easily identifiable visual and audio language that lets you understand what can be destroyed, altered, or transformed through gameplay. We aim to make destruction an integral part of your Battlefield experience to create an intuitive, fun, and rewarding environment where you feel empowered to shape the world around y...

New Battlefield 2042 event introduces more game modes, an evil AI, and robots

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It's no secret that Battlefield 2042 struggled at launch. EA's latest attempt at bringing back its flagship military series wasn't met with the explosion the developer hoped for, and that's why the next entry in the franchise looks to be going back to basics. However you feel about the specialist system, though, EA has at least spent the last few years massively supporting the shooter. Now, the latest update is here, and it introduces an all-new event filled with a rogue AI, robots, and some revamped ways to play. Read the rest of the story...

Arkangel Archives: Hybridization {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40697820/fb5f7b655b2527f022b04dab7fff3f61eb66c848.jpg There’s nothing like seeing the dead come back to life, especially when she’s the leader of your new squad. I remember 8838—she goes by Eight now, since it’s easier— in the Boreas killing fields, taking out Geists like she was born to do it. Except it was Arkangel tech keeping her up and running; reinforced bones, synthetic eyes, dampened pain tolerance. When the lab was breached, I assumed Eight had been slaughtered in the crossfire. Everyone I worked with certainly was. But she found her way back to the No-Pats, somehow. Her and the remnants of Unit 86 have a new mission: taking out the CENTRAL army created by A.O.S. through any means necessary. The Anti-Automaton Assault squadron takes anyone who is willing to become a saboteur and die for the cause, even if they used to be the enemy. EMPs, hacked drones, even frying entire power grids if it means destroying one of those bot pri...

The next Battlefield is overhauling gunplay and movement for the better

by editor@pcgamesn.com

There's a lot riding on the next Battlefield game. EA's flagship military shooter has been struggling ever since Battlefield 2042 came out, but the developer has some big plans in place to try and rescue the FPS. To start with, the series' gunplay and movement are getting a huge overhaul, as EA is testing even the smallest mechanics to figure out what works and what doesn't. Read the rest of the story...
