You’ll have seen the skyscraper collapse on Siege in Shanghai map a thousand times, but then something similar happens elsewhere: it could be a flood in the streets, a tropical storm, or any other factor. The maps have more or less random events that radically change the scenario that you’re playing. The most characteristic of them all is the icing on the cake and the feature used by EA to really sell the game: "Levolution." In total, there are 10, and although some are better than others, all of them are very well designed. That said, of course this wouldn’t have been possible if the maps weren't of the same quality. The new additions are interesting and complement the classic game modes well. The second new addition, Defuse, is a similar game-playing style to Counter-Strike – the mode takes place in rounds and in each round you have one life if you die, you become a spectator. The action is centered on the bomb, so it's a very fast and dynamic mode. The first is a fight to destruction over the possession of a bomb that's used to destroy the enemy's objectives. Two new game modes have also been added: Obliteration and Defuse. Rush also makes a return, a fight between two teams in turns, where one defends and the other attacks. In terms of game modes, you will find the famous Conquest and Domination modes(which is like Conquest but on a smaller scale). None of that changes in Battlefield 4 because it doesn't need to – those are it's hallmark features. The style is unmistakable: it takes place in teams, divided into squads, requires quick but tactical activity, the use of vehicles, and gives a great feeling of playing on a giant battlefield. Multiplayer mode doesn't change much with respect to previous versions of Battlefield. And does it ever! Compared with the single player mode, the multiplayer mode is a completely different story. The multiplayer mode is the first choice on the menu, and this is where Battlefield 4 can flex its muscles.



The fact that the single player mode is little more than an extra bit on the side becomes perfectly clear when you look at the main menu of the game. If you were intending to buy the game for it’s single player mode, then you’d be better off looking elsewhere: the campaign lasts 4 hours and really isn’t worth it. There are lots of pre-programmed scenes, enemies with limited AI, absurd dialog, and scenarios that seem similar to other games. In Campaign mode, Battlefield 4 is a succession of levels that set out to impress the player.
