I haven't post anything for the past few months, so here it is.. Battlefield 4. It's an upcoming first person shooter game, like all Battlefield franchises, it's developed by EA Digital Illusions CE and published by Eletronic Arts. It's a sequel to Battlefield 3 and the 13th installment of the Battlefield series. The game will be released on 29th of October in North America, October 31 for Australia and Novermber 1 for Europe for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 & 4, Xbox 360 and of course, Xbox One.

Battlefield 4 features several small changes compared to its predecessor. The game's heads-up display is much the same, composed of two compact rectangles. The lower left-hand corner features a mini-map and compass for navigation, and a simplified objective notice above it; the lower right includes a compact ammo counter and health meter. The mini-map, as well as the main game screen, shows symbols marking three kinds of entities: blue for allies, green for squadmates, and red/orange for enemies.

Players can now use dual-scoped weapons, including weapons with different firing modes (e.g. single shots, automatic fire). They can also "spot" targets—marking them on the map—for teammates to either suppress or eliminate. In addition, players will have more survival capabilities, such as countering melee attacks at the front and rear, shoot their sidearm while swimming, and diving underwater to avoid enemy detection. The singleplayer campaign will see the player using vehicles to quickly move across the battlefield.

Multiplayer :
Battlefield 4 multiplayer has been confirmed to contain 3 playable factions; U.S., China ( Bloody hell I hate China )  and Russia. Also confirmed is the return of the "Commander Mode" last seen in Battlefield 2142, which gives select players an RTS-like view of the entire map   and the ability to give orders to teammates.

In March 2013, EA Digital Illusions CE denied rumors that female soldiers would be playable in the game. On June 10, 2013, at E3, DICE featured the map "Siege of Shanghai", pitting the People's Liberation Army against the U.S. Marine Corps. The gameplay showcased Commander Mode; new weapons and vehicles; and the "Levolution" gameplay mechanic. The video displays the last of these at various points, including a player destroying a support pillar to trap an enemy tank above it, and a large skyscraper (an in-game objective) collapsing in the center of the map and affecting the surrounding area.So far, the four previous classes from Battlefield 3 appear to be the same—Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon.

Battlefield 4's single-player campaign takes place six years after its predecessor in the year 2020, with the player controlling "Recker", a member of a US special operations squad callsigned "Tombstone". His teammates include squad leader SSgt. Dunn, second-in-command "Irish", and combat medic "Pac". The Battlefield 4 gameplay reveal trailer features footage from the prologue mission "Fishing in Baku", where in Tombstone Squad, carrying vital intelligence, escapes from Baku, Azerbaijan with Russian special forces in pursuit.In a recently-revealed mission, "Angry Sea", Tombstone Squad, with another soldier named Kovic replacing Dunn, tries to escape from a sinking aircraft carrier with more intel, while fighting off Chinese forces.The campaign will also occur in China, involving a hostage rescue mission in Shanghai.
