DICE promises more Battlefield 4 DLC, surveys classic maps
Battlefield 4 developer DICE doesn't know when to stop Battlefieldin', as the game's latest map pack "Final Stand" won't be the last piece of content for the first-person shooter. "With Battlefield 4 Final Stand released, we hope and believe that you will enjoy it together with the rest of the game for a long time," the developer wrote in a blog this week. "However, there is one thing we want to assure you: There is more content coming for Battlefield 4." While DICE did not specify what it had in store for further DLC, it did acknowledge the "many requests of re-creating classic Battlefield maps within the Battlefield 4 universe." The developer opened a poll to the public to see which maps from the previous games in the series would be most popular among fans, available here. The next entry in the series, Visceral Games' Battlefield Hardline, was delayed to March 17, 2015. [Image: EA]
Battlefield 4 Premium members make a Final Stand next week
Battlefield 4 Premium members will receive the game's final map pack, the appropriately-titled "Final Stand," on November 18, publisher EA has revealed. The DLC, which features the weaponized wintry wonderlands of Russia, will contain four maps, detailed below. Operation Whiteout is a mostly-outdoors fragfest, with a harsh blizzard rolling across the tundra. Hammerhead lets players fight across a submarine base, while Hangar 21 sets the war in a secret military base. Giants of Karelia takes place in a rural village and is the only map of the pack not bathed in snow, instead featuring a lush, green landscape. As many of these maps feature secret military installations ridden with prototype technology, there are new weapons, weapon add-ons, gadgets and vehicles to try out. If you look close enough, you might even spot some references to the technology and factions that would come to dominate the wars of Battlefield 2142. As usual, Battlefield 4 Premium members will receive the content two weeks before non-Premium players. [Image: EA]
Battlefield 4 makes a Final Stand in its fifth DLC map pack
After nearly a year of players gunning one another down within the expansive maps of Battlefield 4, publisher EA and developer DICE have revealed the game's final DLC map pack, aptly titled "Final Stand." Featuring four maps set within the Russian arctic, Final Stand doesn't just grant players new surroundings in which to shoot things, it also offers players new toys. Especially notable are the map pack's "secret prototype weapons and vehicles," including a combat pick up railgun and a hovering tank. Unfortunately, along with the trailer seen below the break, that's all the information EA is currently willing to share on Final Stand. As with previous Battlefield 4 DLC map packs we expect Battlefield Premium subscribers to receive Final Stand two weeks before it comes available to the public, but so far EA has yet to mention when the DLC might appear. Expect more news on the DLC maps and weaponry to come in the "weeks ahead." [Image: EA]
