Battlefield 4 additional Levolution effects and scenarios revealed

"Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment has revealed some additional effects and scenarios from the Levolution feature in the upcoming multiplatform video game, Battlefield 4. According to a blog post from the official Battlefield website on Aug. 9, the studio stated that players will be able to activate more scenarios other than taking down a giant skyscraper.

Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment said that the feature is much more than just massive feats of destruction or pretty graphics as it will also affect the gameplay. The weather conditions as well as the internal building lights, for example, could be changed in order to the change the visibility of all players in the area. Moreover, you can use car alarms and metal detectors to spot enemies while utilizing bollards to impede hostile vehicles.

More specific details were also revealed for the aforementioned giant skyscraper scenario. Destroying the building would kill all players inside it. Furthermore, the map would be covered in dust. As a result, snipers will be at a disadvantage due to the low visibility, especially at longer distances. Players are forced to engage in combat in shorter range due to the effects of this particular Levolution scenario.

The multiplayer matches in Battlefield 4 are expected to be more dynamic due to the new environmental destruction elements. Players should get a taste at the Levolution feature with the multiplayer beta coming out later this fall.

The final version of Battlefield 4 will begin shipping on Oct. 29 for multiple platforms."

I think the map we already seen will be in the beta, but I heard of the possiblities of an extra map and mode in the beta. Though it's great to hear that other things will happen for the battles to feel more dynamic than either.

What platforms are the beta on?RR360DD

I take it the beta will be next month?

this is gonna be hard splitting time between this GTA and KZ sfstereointegrity

Sounds great. I've wanted them to have dynamic shifts in weather and terrain in BF for a while now and it's about time they put that engine to good use. 

I wish it was more for rush games though where you blew up MCOMs and the building came down and you progressed on to another section where another thing happened. But it might be cool in Conquest too. I just hope it doesn't get annoying and they play tested it a lot

I like the idea of weather changes during mp. I wonder how many different weather conditions there will be and how smooth transitions will be.wolverine4262

I imagine stuff like sandstorms.dust,snow and then big thunder storms with lots of rain.

I am also curious about the transitions. Like will it be light snow at first and then suddenly a blizzard etc

[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="wolverine4262"] Yeah, thats a nice perk. I miss the tracking balls from BFBC2. They were way more fun than what they put in BF3.wolverine4262

I can't see wind becoming a thing in it. There's no way of judging the wind properly if you're flying a chopper or something and it leaves too much up to chance and luck.The fact that choppers can now be damaged by machine funs from troops too would cripple the choppers even more and make people whine a lot.

If you had wind in the game affecting one thing it would have to affect everything like long range sniper fire and I honestly don't see DICE implementing something like that. Everyone would bitch and moan.
