Battlefield 4 multiplayer details emerge

First, the four playable kits from Battlefield 3 will return in Battlefield 4: Engineer, Recon, Support, and Assault. This time around, however, players will be able to "more strongly specialize" their role, as the game will cater to "different play styles."

 

"In Battlefield 4, we're clearly displaying what gadgets can do for you, how different weapons compare, and how they affect your options on the battlefield," he said.

Andersson also revealed a new concept for Battlefield 4 called Field Upgrades.

"If you're a long-term fan that played Battlefield 2142, you will already have an idea what these are, but we have tweaked them for Battlefield 4," Andersson said.

Field Upgrades are chained boosts that can affect gameplay mechanics, Andersson said. Similar to specializations in Battlefield 3, these Field Upgrades can provide players with faster sprint speed, stronger personal armor, or expanded ammo capacity.
