Battlefield 4 Will “Encourage” Not “Force” Team Play

Battlefield’s Lead Multiplayer designer, Thomas Andersson, has been talking on the official blog about how the new first person shooter’s multiplayer experience works. Battlefield 4 will apparently “highly encourage” team-play among multiplayer gamers though it will never be forced upon gamers. DICE’s Battlefield 4 multiplayer gameplay style encourages cooperation between players when “in the field”:

“We want to promote team play by creating great gameplay mechanics such as Field Upgrades, Commander Mode, and a new range of gadgets specifically designed to expand co-operation in the field. We have drastically expanded on the tools and benefits of efficient team play, and as a result we feel Battlefield 4’s multiplayer experience is the deepest, most rewarding, and fun experience in the series.”

Additionally Andersson stated that the new DICE game will allow players to make “more educated choices in their kit loadouts and combat roles”  by “clearly displaying what gadgets can do for you, how different weapons compare, and how they affect your options on the Battlefield.”
