EA has officially released details on the campaign story of their upcoming blockbuster, Battlefield 4.
Battlefield 4 is looking to be one of the best looking games this gen running on the luscious Frostbite 3 engine by DICE. It has had very strong support from EA being a solid competitor to the Call of Duty series. Battlefield 4 has been talked about for months now, and demoed at numerous events showcasing the visuals. Today EA has come out and finally explained some of the story to Battlefield 4.
EA outlined the first 2 missions of the game to give a taste of some of what is going on. You will play as Sgt. Daniel Recker, a member of the elite Tombstone Squad. The story will have you starting in Azerbaijan (a country in Western Asia for those who don’t know) where you will battle through waves of Russian soldiers while you retrieve intel from a Russian defector, and then move to Shanghai for some covert VIP extraction amidst an assassination blamed on the US and a city under martial law.
As the story progresses, you discover that Shanghai is in turmoil with Russians backing a Chinese madman, you manage to escape the city with a CIA operative and a mysterious individual that the Chinese military has been frantically searching for. Already you can see the makings of a large scale war coming your way, with that nice hint of political intrigue backing it. At that point, they leave you with the imagining of the entire 7th US carrier group burning in the water and no happy ending.
additionally EA shared detailed 2 of your squad mates. Sgt. Kimble “Irish” Graves and Marine Combat Lifesaver Clayton “Pac” Pakowski.
