Auch wenn Battlefield 4 mittlerweile durch Hardline in den Hintergrund gerückt ist, ändert dies nichts daran, das DICE und EA immer noch an interessanten Updates arbeiten. Am 26.05.2015 steht für alle Plattformen das große Frühlings-Update an und sorgt unter Umständen dafür, das für kurze Zeit der Mehrspieler abgeschaltet wird. Die Abschaltzeiten betragen, laut Entwickler, knapp eine Stunde.Folgendes bringt das Update mit sich:
These are the five new weapons:
- New fan favorite Assault Rifle Picked based on its unique burst gameplay and massive fan desirability
- New Carbine A unique bullpup carbine with built-in vertical grip
- New PDW A unique PDW with built-in silencer
- New Sidearm Unique long range “sniper” sidearm using magnum rounds
- New LMG Magazine fed LMG, which with the new weapons balance, plays in between a belt-fed LMG and an AR – your “run and gun” LMG
Full weapons balance pass
In the Spring Patch, we have also revamped the damage, falloff and suppression model. With this pass, we’ve touched every single weapon in the game – and how they play.
Our goal has been to create distinct roles for the weapon classes, and award skill of the player through increased recoil and by bringing back the 2-bullet headshot!
Return of Gun Master
Next up, we are bringing back Gun Master game mode – which gained its popularity in Battlefield 3: Close Quarters.
Gun Master is played like a Team Deathmatch game. The twist is that you don’t get to choose the weapons used. You swap weapons every time you get two consecutive kills on an opponent and whoever is the first player to get a kill with the final weapon wins!
The mode will contain the following five presets with at most 18 different weapons in each:
- Standard This setup contains rifles, machine guns, shotguns and pistols and ends with the M9 bayonet
- Classic Classic rifles, machine guns, shotguns and pistols ending with a M9 bayonet
- Pistol In this preset you can only use different kind of pistols, ending with the survival knife
- DLC This mode will let you play with DLC weapons – including the Phantom bow Troll Seeing how Gun Master is a “party mode”, we had to make a silly weapon list too! This one starts out with ballistic shields (as weapons) and it’s downhill from there
