DICE 'very interested' in Battlefield 4 eSports

I have a doubt, BF4 will be released for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, but if you click on "follow" here, it will give the option to follow the PS4 and Wii U versions.... My point is, if later on, DICE makes a PS4 and Xbox 720 versions, it will likely be a port, right ? As the PC version is the main platform, maybe we will need to wait until the next gen consoles to get released and see how these ports comes out, because next year I want to spend my money on the right platform, the one that gives me the best open map FPS..... PC is winning already with ARMA 3, so, instead of spending $450 + or - on a console, maybe PC will be the better way... Consoles are improving themselves year after year by making better FPS games, but I won't buy a new gen if the only thing available in the first months will be only ports! Let's wait what Xbox 720 has to say !

Just stop now, EA. Don't waste the money trying.

No LAN mode = No competitive merit. If BF4 still doesnt have a LAN option then forget it ever being recognized in the eSports world. Playing shooters online in a tournament setting is far to random to have any merit.

Not having co-op in BF4 is a big mistake imo. Co-op is fun, a nice way to practice using things like choppers when new to the game, and a great way to meet other players in a neutral setting.

Very poor decision imo - co-op is still, to this day, quite active in BF3. They should improve on it, not ignore it. Really dumb move imo - very disappointed in them.

I'm Excited for Battlefield 4. I Hope "EA Won't do too much harm too it but... ESports is nice

Does not really harm the game much, But Will it happen is the question

I'm really looking forward to bf4, but im anxious to see how they tie this release in with the opening of the new console generation. I think DICE is an amazing developer, but i hope that they continue to support their games' lifespans and don't end up straying towards the COD franchise (in terms of how frequently they release new installments). Saying that, they did release bf3 in late 2011, so i guess its time for an update, but its gone soo fast, and the game still looks pretty gorgeous.

They said the same thing last time...

...so I'll believe it when I see it. These people will say absolutely anything to peddle their game.

I'm sure they'll still not support LAN or System Link. I hope a few tournaments end in (Cannot connect to EA servers) just to make a point.

The main reason why they let coop go, is because it is broken in some situations in BF3 and don't want to spend any time fixing it.

BC3!!!!!!!!

Ive started playing BF3 and have come to the conclusion that it SUCKS. There are so many bugs in the game is feels lijke skyrim all over. When i'm running and i get stopt by a little pebbel on the road it fucking stupid or when you shoot a rocket or throw a grenade day dissapear when you die. That makes perfect sence. or people homing bullets that go around corners and dont forget the people that stand stil. They are invinceble you can shoot them how much you can not even hitmakkers apear. And no i'm not talking about people that just spawn.

That all for me make it the flop of the year. Way to go EA a nother peace of crap that cost 100 $

Anyone else just want more maps in BC2?

No ones cares about the single player experience in Battlefield. In Battlefield multiplayer is where all the fun is at.

Where is bad company 3 i dont care about bf 4 , give us bf bad company 3 with co-op and with nanosuit (since EA have crytek) and IT WILL SELL

I did enjoy battlefield and cod until they stayed to be same old same old.

CO OP is a perfect fit for Battlefield franchise but only problem was it she a shoehorned in. I mean they can properly implement co-op by making the 2nd,3rd or 4th player taking controls of one of the other players in the squad. Now that the squad is not faceless like before.

no co-op? Co-Op in BF3 was GREAT and was a lot down that it wasn't expanded.

Hope they have eSports type servers. I gotta say that Black Ops 2 putting the League Play in was pretty damn nice if you played the solo league. I found that it had better player matching than anything ever before. I suck at the game but was actually managing to get on the top of the leaderboard because putting in an effort actually payed off, because everybody was of similar skill. I can honestly say it as the ONLY time I had complete fun playing COD instead of just bouncing back and forth between it being *kinda* fun but mostly frustrating. What breaks player matching is the party system. That is the main reason that TrueSkill and Zones have never really worked for the 360 as advertised, even though they were great ideas.

See, this is what happened when they let badminton into the Olympics, anything can be considered a sport. I can't wait for championship cake mixing.

DICE should be "very interested" in a Mirror's Edge sequel.

-_-

Why is Wii U listed under the platforms for battlefield 4? @_@

Why don't they focus on putting "everything" into multiplayer instead of also into a 5 hour graphics performance utility?

@SIDEFX1 BF3 Single player was a joke though

@SIDEFX1 I used to like it, until Battlefield 3 came along. Sure, the Bad Company series had the same campaign kind of deal, but they were spin-offs, I could live with that. But why BF3 and now BF4? There's a reason that mods for BF2 like AIX and BF2SP64 existed, after all :P

battlefield needs to return to the ideals of BF2/2142 to come close to being an esport again...

why do people bring up EA all the time this has nothing to do with them dice wants to expand. EA is a great company. People need to see the positive in life. Remember to smile every so often.
