The Patrick Bach Interview – Part 2: ‘Campaign Battlefield.’ “I think people will be surprised.”

Sam Clay - "VG247 sat down with Executive Producer Patrick Bach to talk all things Battlefield 4. Here’s the second part of our massive video interview, “Campaign Battlefield”, where we discuss how the multiplayer values have influenced the single player campaign."

I don't remember anything anout the story in 3, and seeing the lack of comments here I don't think anyone cares for it story.

s8anicslayer3861d ago

The last campaign I finished on a game known heavily for multiplayer is Black Ops, I just could not fing time to complete the story when I was too bust trying to prestige up. Maybe IW or Tryarch could borrow from Guerilla on the XP scoring system from Killzone Mercineries and let you cash out while your playing single player, to use in multiplayer so your not consistently getting your a$$ handed to you with no unlocks. Just a thought

Ashunderfire863861d ago

Good I hope so, cause Battlefield 3 campaign was not that good, especially the anticlimactic ending.

King-u-mad3861d ago

So you are saying breaking out of custody, chasing down the person who would nuke the city. Then beating him to death was anticlimactic? Especially since it tied in with the start of the campaign. You have got to be kidding me. The campaign wasn't the greatest thing ever but it was definitely a good campaign. You probably didn't even play it and or complete it.

Ashunderfire863861d ago (Edited 3861d ago )

Why the hell people are making such a big deal about my comment? LOL! Yes I did play the game that center around the interrogation scene especially at the end, when the main character marine buddy help him escape, and you pickup where you left off in the train! Then you had the whole car chase scene in the city, where you beatup the bad guy in front of a crowd. Then the scene went blank after the main character stop the bomb, without knowing what else happen to the main character, so it was very anticlimactic. There you go I not only gave better detail to the ending than you, I played it.

So you don't know what your talking about, and no I am not kidding you. Its all true.

Didn't they say the same thing about BF3's campaign? I play every campaign before hopping onto MP, I'm excited because what was shown so far looked pretty good. I liked the wide open map that I could explore instead of it being linear.

Just found this though from one of the devs "I hate to say this, but storytelling does not come naturally to Swedes," said Soderlund. "But we’re good at designing systems, and that’s what these games really are. Minecraft puts a box in front of you and says, ‘Do whatever you want with it.’ Battlefield is a system designed for entertainment rather than for telling you a story."

lol

RegorL3861d ago

Storytelling is not natural to Swedish _technicians_...

Considering Swedens small poulation there are LOTS of authors. Most write crime stories - Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell, Lisa Marklund, ...

PsylentKiller3861d ago

The story isn't what makes BF so great, it's the MP. However, the campaign is a great way to relax and unwind by shooting a bunch of people in the face. It's what made CoD so addicting. That ping sound when you get a headshot. I haven't noticed if BF gives audio cues for headshots.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot781d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250780d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface779d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop780d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno780d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel781d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps780d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888780d ago (Edited 780d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33780d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888780d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH780d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
