In the aftermath of this year’s E3 expo, many are already hailing Electronic Arts’ forthcoming military shooter Battlefield 4 as a genre-defining blockbuster. The gameplay demonstrations presented by developer DICE two weeks ago blew audiences away with photorealistic visuals, dynamic destruction, and fluid, visceral infantry and vehicular combat… and we they Frostbite 3 to thank for it. Want to see why I’ll be buying Battlefield 4 over Call of Duty: Ghosts next generation? Then keep scrolling.

In spite of the many highlights and wonders this year’s E3 exhibition has delivered so far, one of the things I’ve been hoping we’d see this week is live footage of Battlefield 4‘s multiplayer running on next generation hardware. My wish was granted – correction; my wish was blown out of my cranium with the force of a C4 detonation.

For longer than we can remember, there has been much debate about whether or not a dinosaur mode will ever feature in a Battlefield game. Swedish developer Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment AB (or DICE) certainly enjoyed dropping various hints in Battlefield 3… So what should we make of this new finding – HyperText Markup Language (HTML) extracted from Battlelog that contains an unquestionable nod to our primordial predecessors?

With the confirmation that Battlefield 4 will be released on the Next-Gen consoles (minus the Wii U), fans of the series will have to wonder; will online play be as unreliable as it has been in recent years? Recently EA’s Battlefield 3 servers crashed due to an attack made by a group of cyber hackers. While this instance has a culprit to point fingers at, it doesn’t explain the years of issues EA and Dice have had trying to maintain an entertaining online environment for it’s players. The game, although entertaining, has been plagued by problems since Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Difficulties have ranged from simply being able to join games, being mysteriously dropped from matches in the middle of battle, and being booted from servers by their owners for not abiding by “rules” against using certain weapons and equipment (which is illegal, by the way). While gamers shouldn’t hold their breath over being booted by tyrant server owners, they shouldn’t accept the less than stellar online quality in which
