Battlefield 4: Chinese vehicles, shoot-while-swimming confirmed

4.5
Battlefield 4 developer DICE has answered some burning questions regarding Battlefield 4's vehicles and marine combat.

The studio has confirmed that the game will feature a whole new selection of Chinese vehicles thanks to the addition of that faction.

It revealed one new vehicle - the Chinese Z-10W Attack Heli - in a new screenshot pictured above. Some of the other Chinese vehicles in the game include:

Type 99 MBT
ZFB-05 Armored Car
Z-9 Haitun Transport Heli
DV15 Interceptor Attack Boat
The studio also discussed one of the game's biggest new gameplay mechanics - naval combat.

"Amphibious Assault will play a big role in Battlefield 4 as we've added attack boats like the RCB-90 (U.S.) and jet-skis. Controlling the sea in addition to the land and air will play a crucial role in victory," it explained.

DICE confirmed that, for the first time in the BF series, infantry will be able to use one-handed weapons and gadgets while swimming - useful in the case of a pre-explosion bail-out.

The PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 Battlefield 4 release date is set for October 29 in the US and November 1 in the UK . Next-gen versions will be out "this holiday" alongside the new consoles.

DLT I can't wait for BF4. Looks and sounds like its going to be such a great game.


It should be a great game because it seems like they're adding things which were missing from the predecessor, like more destruction, shooting while swimming etc... unlike CoD and other games where it's just new, pointless features added each game, plus the games last a while, I still play BF3.


You. You are the epitome of why I don't like Battlefield, I love the game itself, but the people that play it are so single minded and annoying.


It's the truth. Get the hell over it.


You just went right along with what I was saying, hello epitome number two. Wait, maybe this is Tea's second account, it all makes sense now.

Axe So if you buy the game for these consoles, will you have to buy it again once the new consoles come out?


No. Why would you? It's not like the Xbox 360 disc won't play on the Xbox One. Oh wait.
