DICE opens up about Battlefield 4's 'Carrier Assault' mode

4.6
If you aren't familiar with Battlefield 2142 then the upcoming Carrier Assault mode in BF4's Naval Strike DLC will be a brand new concept for you. It draws inspiration from 2142's Titan mode and consists of each team attempting to sink the opposing sides aircraft carrier.

A brief explanation from a recent official BF4 blog posting by lead gameplay designer Gustav Halling explains how the mode operates. The full blog can be found here.


Carrier Assault is an homage to the Titan game mode of Battlefield 2142, but this time the all-out war rages in the South Chinese Sea, and your objective is to destroy the enemy team’s carrier before they infiltrate and destroy yours. Our goal has been to make Carrier Assault a really engaging game mode, and we truly believe the amount of variety present each round will assure this. You start out fighting a big-scale war with sea, land, and air vehicles controlling the map, and then everything evolves into an infantry-focused, close quarter fight inside both carriers at the same time!lead gameplay designer Gustav Halling


Battlefield 4's 'Naval Strike' expansion is queued for release later this month, first for Premium members and a few weeks later for the public.

Dreams something new ive never seen before looks really cool just bought bf4 so i could play this lol


It's not exactly new since it's based on the same concept and idea as Titan mode from BF2142 (which really needs a sequel!) except now there are waterborne vessels rather than floating ships.

General_Raam Best part is the commander can actually come the Carrier(that is if they do the same thing as Titan Mode from 2142) but this may be hard because titans flew and carriers could hit land. But its more than Bomb the base, you capture points on the field. The points are missile silos that periodically shoot at the enemy titan. You can also break down the enemies defence and board the titan. Which is harder than it may seem because there were several defence guns that could be manned to prevent boarding. Once inside you could go deeper into the titan where the engine area was and other things. Attempting to destroy them. Battles inside the titan were VERY VERY intense. Its like 64 player operation locker, when you have a standstill in the middle of the map. This was 2142, I don't know how much of this they will put into BF4 or if they will put more.


I feel you man, such detail, much wow and the lol.
