Battlefield 4 - SP and MP Modes Details
Over at BF4Talk the moderator 'BeestMann' has revealed some new details about Battlefield 4. According to BeestMann, EA and EB Games Australia showcased a live BF4 Demo exclusive to the Australian media and 100 fans.
Singleplayer:
* Admitted that the BF3 story could have been more.

* NPCs will be more human. Right down to the smallest and simplest details of just watching you walk around etc.

It would be interesting to know if for example PC has other popular maps than the consoles. I do think Metro's popularity is driven by the console community.

I really wished they just did 2143. then put out bf4 two years after. It would have made bf3 seem like a better game to me.
Oh well here is hoping bc3 will be next. I loved bc2 hardcore
Same, I sorta wished there was just a specific section or even another studio responsible for the bad company series, who retained the game at it's core.
That way I wouldn't have to worry about stupid design choices, and new features and such. I'd skip the main battlefield titles altogether.

What kills it for me is again requiring of battlelog and likely launch from browser again. Why not just make a run and gun game like 1942 was without stats/without ranks and without all the added bloat, I really just do not understand why they keep pushing the next and greatest graphical interface to a type of game that doesn't need all that or need all the junk to go with it?

I'm not really a huge fan of the BF series. Not for a particular reason or something.
It just happened to never had time/opportunity to get into them. I was either playing other MP/SP games when Battlefield 1942 came out or I wasn't playing at that time at all.
But I look forward BF4 if it turn out to be awsome/great.
