Battlefield 4 expansion development on hold until issues are fixed
"We know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game - it is absolutely our #1 priority. The team at DICE is working non-stop to update the game," an EA spokesperson told CVG.
"Since Battlefield 4 China Rising expansion pack was already in the final stages of development by the time issues began with Battlefield 4, we decided to fulfill our promise to deliver it this week, but we're not moving onto future projects or expansions until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4," said the rep, confirming that all other development is currently on hold.
"We know many of our players are frustrated, and we feel your pain. We will not stop until this is right."
BF4 has been plagued with various critical issues since launch, including server instability and lag during gameplay, corrupt save data, XP loss and complete system crashes on an alarmingly regular basis.
Developer Dice said it has fixed the "most common" stability issues with the PS4 version of Battlefield 4 via a server-side 'hotfix' last month, but many issues persist.
The glitch-induced woes continued for BF4 players this week as Dice released the China Rising expansion to a new slate of game-breaking errors, including a complete inability to play the DLC content for some platforms.

Skeletons This is what they should of done anyways. They pushed the game out way to early with all of these gliches. But glad to hear some feedback fro DICE/EA
EA forced Dice to release the game before the New Year. They should of seen this coming, if they didn't already.

UggLavish I'd much rather them delay something than release a subpac expansion pack.
Totally can agree with you on this one.
I agree as well, there's no point in playing a broken game.

GibbityTree Yeah DICE and EA thats nice and all, but you should have had the game fully functional out of the gate. Nobody wants to spend $60 for a broken game, then wait for the problems to be fixed. Make the purchase justifiable and stop ramming BS down everyone's throat.
I blame EA mostly. They're the ones that rushed Dice into releasing the game before Christmas.
