*Requires Battlefield 4 on applicable platform.

Peculiarities

Living classic series;
- Goal: capture and hold points on the ground;
- The largest battles with an incredible amount of military equipment.

In this mode, nothing is more important than control: run with friends or random companions along flags placed in strategic positions. The more soldiers are in the capture zone, the faster it will become a strengthening for the allies. At the beginning of each match, the parties to the conflict are given the same number of reinforcement points, after which one or another team is defeated.
The 64-person Capture mode is available on PC, Xbox One and PS4. On current generation consoles, only 24 people are supported (PS3, Xbox 360).

Adviсe

Each player you kill removes one reinforcement point from your enemies (a medic who happens to be near the defibrillators in time can return this point back).
- If you are damn good and hold more than half of the flags available on the map, the reinforcement counter in the neighboring team will decrease at double the speed. In addition to the main bases, each new captured position has fresh units of equipment.
- Use the resources provided skillfully - hide portable spawn points where you leave; do not leave heavy equipment and rare weapons; one eye should always look at the minimap and assess the state of the flags in order to think through your actions in advance; Don't forget about the new destruction system.

Assault / Rush

Peculiarities

Attack/defense of transmitters;
Teams have radically different roles;
Several stages, each with two goals.

The mode is completely different in dynamics: you either fiercely attack and destroy targets with a collective effort, or vigilantly protect available transmitters.
The mode is designed as an action for 32 players (the design of the maps does not allow anything else), but at your own peril and risk you can find servers for 64 players (PC). Current generation consoles are traditionally limited to 24 players.

Adviсe

Don't try to be cunning - a salvo from a tank will not cause any damage to the stations. In 100% of cases, you need to run up and lay the charge yourself (which opponents, of course, can defuse).
- Reinforcement points are distributed as follows: the attacking side receives a strictly limited number, and the defense, based on the position, receives an endless supply of revivals. Thus, the attacking team loses only if the supply of points is completely exhausted.
- The attackers almost always have a strong advantage in terms of combat power - use the provided equipment wisely (otherwise you risk falling asleep on the way to the transmitters). Having a smart scout on your team is gold; he can hide spawn points right in enemy territory, increasing the onslaught of the attack.

Extermination / Obliteration

Peculiarities

A completely new mode in the series;
Dynamics similar to Assault, but much more chaotic;
3 destroyed stations for victory;

The entire mode is built around one important element - the bomb. It appears in places planned by the creators, can be transported in vehicles along with the players and fall into the water from a dead carrier (a bomb floating on the surface can and should be picked up).

Up to 32 people can participate in “Extermination” (up to 24 on Xbox 360 and PS3).

Adviсe

By planting a bomb on an enemy station, you take a great risk as a security guard - in the radius of the explosion, unlike an assault, all living things die.
- You can win without a single attack on the enemy’s transmitters - each side has the usual supply of revival points, which turns the mode into some kind of battle of teams. There is only one bomb on the map at a time, so you don’t have to waste your efforts.
- The key to victory in Havoc (and in other modes too) is the use of VOIP voice communication, which was returned in Battlefield 4.

Neutralization / Defuse

Peculiarities

The mode is intended for experienced Battlefield players;
One team has the bomb, the other has the task of protecting;
The winner is determined based on the results of two sets of the game.

“Defuse” is similar to classic fights in another online shooter - Counter-Strike. The task of some is to place a charge on any of the two available places, the task of others is to prevent this. In this case, you have one single life (plus one revival with the help of a medic).

Adviсe

Caution, reaction and balanced equipment are more important than in other modes

Superiority / Domination

Peculiarities

Miniature version of the Capture;
No equipment;
Chaotic revivals.

Three flags, three unique weapons available for the most greedy soldiers and frantic dynamics make Supremacy one of the most compact modes in the game. As a result, 20 people rush between three points in a race for points.

Adviсe

Use special weapons scattered throughout the levels
- Try not to get carried away with running around and stick to one flag.

Squad Deathmatch

Peculiarities

Victory when reaching the kill limit (50);
- Several squads, each for himself;
- Armored personnel carriers are present on all maps.

The tension in Squad Showdown is given by the fact that each of your deaths directly affects the performance of any enemy squad. Losing is as easy as shelling pears, but winning requires effective and well-coordinated work.

Advice

Do not hesitate to use a light tank - even for a well-coordinated squad this is a strong advantage.
- As in other modes, it is important to listen a lot; Loud footsteps often give away enemies.

Team Deathmatch

Two teams;
- Each kill counts towards the team score;
- There is no equipment.

The simplest mode in its essence is to kill until you hit the ceiling; to effectively complete this task, a whole team helps you.

Advice

The Scout's motion sensors are most effective in this mode.
- The recommended number of players is no more than 20.

Read about the Commander mode, which allows you to conduct combat operations from the heights of the tactical map. See you in multiplayer!

About the game

Battlefield 4 is a cross-platform computer game in the first-person shooter genre, developed by DICE studio and released by Electronic Arts in October 2013 on consoles of the old (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) and new (Xbox One, PlayStation 4) generations, as well as on PC.

This game is a direct continuation of the acclaimed and beloved shooter Battlefield 3, and also the eleventh game in the Battlefield series. Thanks to the updated graphics engine Frostbite Engine, called Frostbite 3, the game boasts not only the highest level of graphics, but also an excellent destruction model. You can destroy literally everything in Battlefield 4: from the ceilings inside a building to the walls of the house itself, but that’s not all. In DICE's creation, it is possible to destroy even entire buildings, including skyscrapers - not all and not everywhere, but the fact itself. Dropping thousands of tons of concrete, glass and iron on the enemy's head is a possibility that seemed simply unrealistic before the release of Battlefield 4.

When creating Battlefield 4, the developers were clearly guided by the motto “further, bigger, better.” In comparison with Battlefield, many elements of the game were changed, refined and brought to an ideal state, but the matter was not limited to comprehensive polishing. Thus, owners of consoles from Sony and Microsoft can fight each other in 32 vs 32 format matches, that is, the number of players is now exactly the same as on the PC platform. Unfortunately, only owners of the new generation PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles are able to take part in such large-scale clashes. The rest, excluding, of course, computer players, have to be content with little - the most that the owners of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 can get is 12 vs 12 fights.

Another feature of the fourth part is support for mobile devices. In the so-called “commander mode”, one of the players can lead his teammates from the tablet, giving them goals, issuing tasks and requesting support for them.

Innovations and game changes

• improvement of the VoIp solution in the game;
• adding an observer mode - the ability to see the gameplay through the eyes of any of the players, from above the entire map, in third-person mode and in the “Free Camera” mode;
• updated version BattleLog;
• strengthening towards eSports support (the studio later states that it wants the game Battlefield 4 has become a full-fledged cyber-sports game);
• return of the commander regime from Battlefield 2- intelligence gathering, conducting “information warfare” (the ability to prevent the enemy team commander from collecting information), supplying resources and calling for an attack with artillery (for example, cruise missiles). Command control via mobile devices is also possible;
• function "Levolution"— interaction with the landscape in real time;
• the presence of multiplayer game cards for 64 people for PC (this possibility was later confirmed for consoles, and its presence was one of the highest priorities for the game creators);
• four classes that were in Battlefield 3, but with some modifications;
• three playable factions in multiplayer: USA, Russia and China; No more than any two of them can participate in one round.
• availability Battlefield Premium service from the first day of arrival Battlefield 4 on sale.
• more multiplayer game modes.
• possibility of playing as female characters in the future
• even larger maps compared to those presented in Battlefield 3, but the number of melee cards will also be increased;

Among the unconfirmed:

• proposed integration with the game Battlefield 3 .

Single player campaign

In addition to the excellent, as always, multiplayer mode, the game also has an exciting single-player campaign, which can be a good training before online fights. But the multiplayer campaign still cannot be surpassed, no matter how charming it is. Anything else worth noting? In Battlefield 4, a third party to the conflict appeared - China, and along with the new country, unique, never-before-seen types of weapons and equipment migrated into the game. Of course, the combat arsenal of the United States and Russia has also undergone some changes, however, the same applies to equipment: both ground and air.

The action takes place 6 years after the events of the third part in 2020. We play the role of Sergeant Daniel Recker, a member of the elite unit known as the Tombstone group. The detachment was tasked with going to Baku (Azerbaijan) and obtaining important information from a fugitive Russian general. The group is discovered, and they have to fight their way back, fighting with superior forces of the Russian army. Returning to the Valkyrie, a Wasp-class aircraft carrier, where it turns out that the information obtained confirms the worst suspicions: Chinese Admiral Chang is planning a military coup in China, and Russia is ready to support him.

After analyzing the situation, the Valkyrie headed for Shanghai. The Grave Digger group is tasked with entering the city and evacuating a group of VIPs. All of China is in turmoil after the United States was accused of killing Jin Jie, the country's eventual leader and peace activist. Admiral Chiang canceled the elections and imposed wartime rule. The United States and Russia have concentrated large forces off the Chinese coast. The tension is rising. One spark is enough for a full-scale military conflict to break out. Chaos reigns on the streets of Shanghai as protesters continually clash with police. The group managed to find VIPs, among whom was CIA operative Lazlo V. Kovic, as well as a mysterious man who was being hunted by the Chinese military. With Kovik's help, the squad breaks out of Shanghai and returns to the Valkyrie. Numerous residents of the city also board the ship as refugees. The connection does not work, and the Valkyrie is heading to Singapore - according to the latest data, this is where the flagship Titan and the 7th US carrier group should be located. In Singapore, the group sees a heartbreaking picture of fire and destruction. The flagship is sunk, the fleet is destroyed, and from that moment on the detachment cannot be sure of anything.

Important: The maximum number of players on one map reaches 66, not 64. How does this happen? The thing is that in Battlefield 4, the commander mode has returned straight from Battlefield 2 - updated and modernized, but still familiar to everyone. Two commanders + 64 players = 66. The arithmetic is simple. As before, the commander mode is aimed at close interaction between ordinary soldiers taking part in the battle and officers, before whose eyes the map is located. The commander coordinates the actions of the soldiers and tries to turn the outcome of the battle in favor of himself and his team, not only in words, but also in deeds. So, an officer can call on the battlefield for support in the form of cruise missiles or, for example, helicopters, but he is not able to do this just like that - first, his charges need to fulfill some condition - for example, capture a control point, again also, guided by the advice of a higher authority. Yes, everything is interconnected.

1. After the Frostbyte 2 engine showed poor performance on the Wii U console, Frostbyte 3 was not even attempted to launch there. The console was removed from the list of target platforms very early in development.
2. Before the release, some analysts argued that B4 would be more popular than Call of Duty: Ghosts, because the latter was already losing popularity.
3. Initially, instead of the 4th part, DICE worked on Bad Company 3 (this could be understood from the resumes of many developers and evasive answers in interviews). However, this plan was abandoned: a studio representative subsequently said that Bad Company was funny and therefore not a mass game. The public loves drama much more.

Battlefield 4 is part of the popular game series. It is dedicated to modern battles. To start playing, you need to buy it. But you can also use a clever method that allows you to enjoy the process for free.

Let's figure out how to play Battlefield 4 online. To do this, you will need the official application from Electronic Arts - Origin.

How to play Battlefield 4?

Download Origin, buy BF 4, and start playing. This is the easiest way to join the community. The only trick is that you can purchase the game not in the official store, but from a third-party seller who will offer it at a discount. You can also get a complete set of add-ons for BF 4 from him. There are many resources on the Internet where reliable people offer their products - just look at the number of reviews about their services.

You can also use another method - purchase the game along with your account from someone who is tired of it. The cost is minimal, but you can get everything you need in a kit. It is better to buy from trusted sellers.

Some players don't know this, but there is a technique for playing for free. Electronic Arts allows you to try out BF 4 - every beginner has 7 days to test it. Activate, download and have fun. When the week is over, you can create a new account. Information that you have already played BF is recorded in the Windows registry. But this does not matter, because on the World Wide Web there are special utilities that allow you to deceive the verification mechanism and get an extra week.

You can play this way forever until you get tired of creating additional mailboxes and fiddling with activations. This approach has an interesting advantage for cheaters. You can fearlessly use any utilities to gain superiority over other players without fear of being banned.

BF 4 modes

Let's talk about the game modes present in Battlefield 4.

• Conquest. A classic mode that has existed in the series for a very long time. Its main goal is to capture points on the ground. Large maps, large-scale battles and other interesting things await you. There are a lot of players allowed on the server – up to 64 people.
• Rush. We must attack and destroy targets that the other team is trying to defend. There are fewer players here, since the maps are reduced in size and the mode is more dynamic. Attackers always have an advantage in terms of combat power, since it is much more difficult to attack.
• Obliteration. The most important item in the mode is a bomb, which must be dragged to the station and installed. The location of appearance is pre-designated by the developers.
• Defuse. Another mode for installing charges. We place them in one of two available places and protect them until they explode. The enemy is trying to prevent this.

We have listed ways to start playing BF 4. Ultimately, the choice is yours. Information about the modes will allow you to understand whether the presented project is interesting to you.

Some of these tips may seem obvious, but if everyone followed them, there would be more happy commanders and successful players. What not to do in the new part of the famous franchise? Preferably under no circumstances.

1. Do not engage in firefights with machine gunners at long and medium distances– the suppression effect will prevent you from aiming, the blurred screen and increased recoil are not very good partners in such duels.
2. Don't try to get frags in all situations- in this part there are enough people who can cause damage, eyes for mortars and aiming Tomahawks at the target is no less worthy and profitable activity.
3. The same example with snipers– a good position does not require immediate suppression of everything that shoots in the radius. Sooner or later they will return and find the offender, but a good skyscraper and lighting can make up half the game - point your heavy weapons at the snipers, anti-tank crews and fortified points and positions will collapse in a matter of seconds. Movement is mandatory in both cases, both guidance and active shooting.
4. The obvious advice is to open the parachute, which means you're dead, but oddly enough, many people soar through the skies in every session. We open as close to the ground as possible both in the event of leaving aviation and when jumping from high-rise buildings.
5. Don't waste your tickets for the Levolution challenge– a falling skyscraper and a ramming ship simply change the map, but the losses may not be worth the candle. Sometimes it is better to destroy several facades opposite the point and create an embrasure for equipment.
6. Forget about the grenade rain from previous parts– the radius of fragments is now smaller, and mortars and hand grenade launchers are simply designed against concentrations of infantry.
7. Cthulhu forbid he sits down with a technique without practicing– a good pilot or tanker is half the battle on many maps. Also, you shouldn’t be a hero - by completing command tasks, the platoon receives combat bonuses, promotions, and field perks for defense or attack.

What can you do in Battlefield 4 to improve your team's chances of success?

• It seems stupid to talk about marking goals, but it’s true. Even if the enemy’s back is turned, and this is happening in the rear, you should inform your comrades - in a second you can be crushed by a tank or the target will turn out to be a pro and kill the hunter, first feedback, then combat contact.
• Interact with technology- shooting from its embrasures, landing directly on a point under the cover of fire and armor, repairs under fire, these are the basics that are neglected. When carrying out repairs, it is worth being on the side, even if this is fraught with danger - it is only possible to hide behind the body if you have a connection with the driver and the hope that the multi-ton colossus will not back up when it comes under fire.
• Explosives and mines are best friends in defense. In general, more often, communicate with the squad, make fire bags, lay anti-tank pancakes at the approaches to the point, focus fire on vulnerable spots of enemy equipment, synchronize shots so as not to get hit.
• Commander's orders are law, until he is displaced or he leaves, but feel free to communicate, ask for help, aim support strikes at the target, show the defense zone and ask for a container with supplies there - an abundance of points and tasty missions, such as destroying “fat” enemies who have been killed, yourself That's a good bonus in itself.
• Impose your dynamics– break through to the rear on quads, drop troops, enter from the water, don’t try to chew through a point where it doesn’t work, be more flexible. It should be awkward and uncomfortable for your opponent to play with you, now you are blowing them up at the point, and a second later you are shooting them with sniper bolt rifles, abandoning the routine is the first way to victory.
